GUAYMAS, Soxora, Mexico, July 8.— Cupic has been playing hayoc here with two of the most aristocratic families in the State of Sonora, and the sum to:al of the incident now is that the young and dashing Senor Clodomiro Maytorena has killed himself with a pistol, and the wealthy and beautiful Senorita Amfaro Inigo lies at death’s door from a self-ad- ministered dose of poison. Cupid shot his rirst darts nearly a year ago, and each pierced a romantic heart, But the pretty senorita had astepmother, and this overshadowing duenna sought to break off the match. She forbade the young man the house. Then tho lovers m et secretiy but reguiarly at the home of a mutual friend. Learning of this the cruel duenna !ocked the pretty senorita in ber room. This was more than May- torena could bear with equinimity, and he called upon the stepmother and used hot-headed words in the debate which ensued. Dr. Figueros was called upon to arbi- te the matter between the two noble families. Maytorena was in no mood for calm discussion, however. He would have his sweetheart or the heart’s blood of those who should separate them. Then an order of arrest was served upon him at his father's residence. He was for resist- ance, but his parents advised him to accompany the official and promised to settle the matter for him outside the criminal courts. He apparently consented and asked for a few moments of privacy in which to complete his ioilet. As soon as his father’s back was turned two shots ang through the house; and when the cer burst open the door, there lay the less body of tne lovelorn youth. There was a pistol in each hand still and a horrible wound in each temple, which the blood coursed in torrents. When information of the tragedy reached Senorita Inigo she sought to follow her lover across the death line by an overdose of arsenic. It i1s doubtful whether her life can be saved by the best physicians in Mexico. —-—— SHOW OF FORCE AT TANGIER.

GENERAL BLANCO WILL SUCCEED HIM. Spaniards No Longer Attempt to Conceal That Havana Is in Danger. FIGHTING AT THE GATES OF THE CAPITAL. Last Act of the Retiring Com=- mander Is to Order the Dsath of All Prisoners. HAVANA, Cusa, July 8.—Weyley has been recalled by the central Government at last, As soon as the captain-general enters Havana from BSancti Spiritus he will tender his resiznation, as is usual in such cases, and will probably await far- ther instructions from Madrid. It is | likely he will not turn over the Govern- ment of Cuba to his second in office and start at once for Spain, as many captains- generzl have done, but will remain in of- fice until nis successor arrives, A cable dispatch from Spain by way of Key West says the Government intends to repiace Weyler with General Ramon Blanco, Marquis of Pena Plata, who was captain-general in 1878, and who held the same office in the Philipvines when the revolution began there. It is also said that Generals Macias Pando and Borges will come to Cuba as members of the staff of General Blanco. The news of General Weyler’s recall was suppressed, as far as the newspapers were concerned, by the anthorities both in Cuba and Spain in order to obviate, if possible, any immediate unfavorable effect upon the price of Spanish bonds on the London and Paris stock exchanges. The | failure of the captain-general and the ter- rible situation of the Spanish army in Cuba bave, nevertheless, made imperative the recall of Weyler. To avoid unfavor- able comment in Europe and further de- preciation in the value of Spanish securi- ties, and at the same time to maintain the aignity of the Canovas Government in the face of the Liberal party, headed by Senor Bagasta, which declared the recall of Gen- eral Weyier to be part of its programme, the news will not be officially published gntl the Governmen: is sure that th | Marquis of Plena Plata or some other Spanish general of bigh standing is ready to accept the office and the military re- sponsib ity in Cuba. In fact, it is now officially recognized that General Gomez is marching toward Havana. There isgreat excitement in the capital over the news. Around Havana the insurgents are very active. All last werk hard engagements, lasting from four to five vours each, were occurring at the door of the capital. A train between Palos and Bermeja, in Havana province, nas been attacked by the insurgents, who plundered it and took from a Spanish company that was travel- ing in an armored car its arms and am- munition. The Spanish voldiers were set free because they made no resistance. Oa the outskirts of Matanzas City the The city is besieged by land.

S i, BAYAMO T0 BE BUKNED, General Weyler Will Evacunte the Town and Use the Torch. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 8.—A dispatch to the Heru1t from Havana says: Captain- General Weyler has at last decided it wise to evacuate Bayamo. He has already or- derea the inhabitants to betake them- selves to Manzaniilo, and has askea the War Department in Spain to authorize the withdrawal of troops and the burning of the town. The expense of maintaining the garrison there : as always been heavy and one for which the end gained did not justify it. Much sickness prevails among the troops in Santiago province, and the rebels are 50 active in that district and the roadsare in such animpassable state that the strain on the Spaniah forces of holding the town is too severe. Columnsof men and thou- sands of dollars might have been saved to Spain and no strategic advantage lost had Bayamo been giver up a year ago. About the time Weyler was making his warlike speech at Santiago de Cuba a circular was issued from the headquar:ers of the revolutionary army calling on every insurgent at work in the country or in the towns to come out and take up arms. The circular staed that the rebels had plenty of rifles and ammunition to supply volun- teers, Cuban sympathizers were told to be ready to co-operate in case the insur- gents aitacked their towns. Calixto Garcia and Torres were to look after Eastern Cuba. They were directed to spare all the men they could, and those under Lacret and Perez have already crossed the Jaruco-Moron trocha and are now well into Santa Clara. The point at which the rebels intend to mobilize is Matanzas. At the present moment there are four or five rebel chiefs with considerable bodies of men 1n Cien- fuegos.” It is not possible to state ac- curately how many men the insurgents wiil be able to muster in Matanzas, but a fair estimate is 6000. There may be add d for agzressive pnrposes the 400 rebels un- der Castillo in Havana province and 2500 under Ducass in Pinar del Rio. The insurgents are looking out for the ianding of artillery along the coastof Matanzas. The Spanish army has never been so weakened by sickness before. An official estimate of the number of Spanish soldiers in hospitals throughout.the land is 2300. Not long ago the Luchano Bat- talion marched to the front 1100 strong; te-day the battalion numbers 150 men. Tne Spanish authorities unere have picked out the Cubans from among the Competitor prisoners and will give them separate trials. General Lee stated that if Spain makes any distinction in_ the cases of the Cubans he will be bound to interfere. 71he trial of Munuel Fernandez by ordinary court-martial has been fixed for this week. General Lee has nout re- ceived any notification that the trial will take place. He has stated that he will not interfere until xentence has been passed. The United Sta‘es, he says, will not permit the shooting of Fernandez. FIRE IN BUCKJ Ham PALACE, Guests Temporarily Restrained From ttending the dtate Ball, LONDON, Exé, July 8.—While the guests were assembling for the state ball at the Buckingham palace this evening there was an outbreak of fire on the sec- ond floor. The police stopped the guests from entering and explained the trouble, There was much excitement. The news spread rapidly and an im- mense orowd was attracted to the scene. The fire engine: who arrived promptly, quenched the flames. Then the guests were permitted to enter and the ball was helid as thoueh nothing out of the ordi- nary had occurred. Among those vresent were the Prince and Princess of Wales and other. members of the reyal family, the Indian Princess, the speciali Embassadors to the jubilee and Hay, the American Embassador, and members of ihe Embassy.

Nothing further will be done in the mat- ter, the civil and ecclesiastical authorities | being desirious of hushing the affair up, tearing that criminal prosecution woula have the effect of stirring up further ex- hibitions of ianaticism among the Raskol- niki sect to which Kovaleif and the vic- tims belonged. — ELKS GLAND LOUDGE.

CITY OF MEXICO, Mex, July 8.— Minister Mariscal of the Foreign Rela- tions Department said to-day tuat Presi- dent Diaz would not care to speak regard- ing the proposed Pan-American ex- position at Chicago, for tie Mexican dele- gates now therc were able to express an intelligent opinion, nor cou'd the Presi- dent put in stronger words than the dele- gates themselves the advisability of in- creasing the trade relations with the United State: MULLADM FINVINGS APPROVED, The President ' odifies the Sentence of Dimirsal, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 8—The Pre-ident to-day approved the findings in the case of Commander Dennis W. Mullan of the navy, convicted of drunkenness, but commuted the sentence of dismissal to reduction in rank, so that his name shail be placed atthe foot of the list of commanders in the navy, and he be sus- vended from rank and duty on half of sea pay for a period ot five years, during which time he will retain his piace at the footof the list. This will prevent him ever reaching a higher grade. the cradle of the insurrectionary movement, the Spaniards have made special efforts to hold it. It has already been the scene of two sharp battles, in one of which a part of the town was burned by the Spaniards, and for months past has been in a state of sieg, being cut off by Garcia’s Cubansfrom any communication with Manzanillo, iis nearest point of reliet except under large escort. A few wecks ago a strong party of infaniry, cavalry and artillery, marching from Manzanillo witb a train of supplies for the garrison at Bayamo, was attackea by Garcia just after crossing the Rio Buey and routed and driven back, with a loss of a Jarge part of the train, three pieces of artillery and some 200 killed and wounded. A garrison of from 4000 to 6000 men has been kept in the town and immediate vicinity since early in the war, ana this movement of abandonment by the Spaniards shows a weakening oi resources on their part and renewed strength and activity on the part of the insurgents, ¥ The Bayamese have always been with the foremost in every movement for independence, The ten years’ war was in- augurated by Cespedes, one of her sons, and 120 of hisfellow-citizens, by proclaiming the independence of Cuba at Zara, a few miles to the southeast, in August, 1869, and from that time to the present the spirit of liberty has never died in the bosoms of the Bayamese. The war song of the Cuban soldiers is called the “Bayamese Hymn,'” and is sung in camp, on the march, and in the charge from one end of Cuba to the other, The concentration by Weyler's orders of all the inhabitants within the Spanish lines at Manzanillo will entail great suffering upon the aged and helpless alone, as all the able-bodied are actively engaged in the cause of independence. General Garcia's late operations at Alto Songo, near Santiago de Cuba, and at Givara and Banes, near Holguin, and various otber points within sight of the large Spanish garrisons holding the towns taken in connection with this retrograde of Weyler’s from Bayamo, speaks well for the vigor and life of the patriot army. —— Eobert E.

MENACING ATTITUDE OF JAPAN, Official Dispatches on the Situation Rece.ved at Washington. THE TREATY'S RATIFICATION IS URGED. Great Dissatisfaction at Toklo Over Sherman’s Reply to Hoshiro. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 8. —Official dispaiches from the Hawaiian Govern- ment representing that there 1s an appre- hensive feeling among ti.e people of the island on account of the attitude of Japan were laid bpefore Assistant Secretary Day this morning by Hatch, the Hawaiian Minister. The dispatches show that the authorities of the republic are uneasy and fear trouble before annexation can be ac- comp!ished. Hatch expressed the hope of his Gov- ernment that the ratification treaty would be expedited, which was a diplomatic way of teiling the United States that efforts should be made by the executive to have the Senate act at once. Japan’s attitude toward the annexation of Hawaii will be more fully made known to the State Department to-morrow or next day. The note written by Sherman in answer to the Japanesa protest against annexas lon has not beecn accepted by the Tokio Government as a refutation of its claims, and the reply which the Japanese Min- ister here will send to the Secretary of State will express 1he dissatisfaction with which the contentions of the United Btates are reviewed. Tke situation between the Tokio and Washington governments has not im- vroved, and the differences over the ques- tion at issue may lead to a rupture. Jupan believes that her rights in Hawaii have not been respected in the treaty, and, while wishing to maintain her friendly relations with this country, her pride has been touched to sucn an extent that the total disregara on the part of our Govern- ment for the representations she made and will make will probably be followed by some mark of disapproval—perhaps the recall of her diplomatic representa tives here or retaliation of a commercial- character. SN R OREGON Oub ED TO BSEa. Honolulu Beliered 1o le the Destination of the Battie-Ship, SEATTLE, Wasn., July 8.—The battie- ship Oregon has been orcered to sea, and in connection with this command of the Secretary of the Navy is the further and more sensational report that its com- mander, Captain Barker, has instructions to proceed at once to the Hawaiian Isl- ands, It sails from Seatt!e at 8 o’clock in the morning. The instructions came about 4 o'clock this afternoon, since which time the officers have been scour- 1ng the city endeavoring to get the sailors and seamen aboard. Captain Barker aa- mitted that he had been ordered to sea, but stated that his orders for the present at least were to coal up and proceed only to Port Aneeles, there to join the Monad- nock and Monterev. Five hundred tons of coal wers taken on by the Oregon to- night. It is somewhat singular, in view of Captain Barker's explanation of the in- structions that all the subordinate officers and seamen construe them to mean much more; in other words, that the great battle-ship is to proceed at once to Hono- lulu, where it mav later lock horns with the Japanese fleet hovering about tae Gem of the Paciic. Toe report spread with great rapidity throughout the ecity. In coasequence, one can Lear no end of war talk in Seaitle to-night. The people of Seattle endeavored to have the Oregon here during tie fourth of July celebration, which covered the first three days of the month, but it was willed otherwiseat Washington. Through the efforts of the State Congressionsal dele- gation the man-of-war was directed to come to this port on the morning of July 4, which it aid. Captain Barker had instructions to re- main here two weeks, during which time, on orders from the Secretary of the Navy, :e was to make an inspection of Lakes Washington and Union with a view to | converting them, in connection with the Government ship cana!, into a fresh-water harbor for vessels in ordinary. All day to-day, or at least until the re- ceipt of the dispatch of instructions, Cap- tain Birker, who returned from Portland last night, whither he went to receive the Oregon’s silver service set, was making preparations for this work of inspection; 80 it will be seen that the Government very suddenly found it necessary to coun- termand these orders. Oure officer of the Oregon was found who was inciined to discredit the report that the vessel would go at once to Honolulu. He did so on the ground that it had only about 200 tona of coal aboard when the or- ders came to coal up and that only 500 tons additional were taken on. If the battle-ship was going on a mis- sion of war, he reasoned, especially to the Hawaiian Islands, it would not take less than the full coal capacity of 1400 tons, ““However,"” he added, ‘it may be that we will receive instructions at Port An- geles to proceed to San Francisco and thence to Honolulu.”” e RELIL’S FAMILY OF STATES.
