Captain General Talks of His R :c: From Cuba. SAYS HE GOES HOME SATISFIED A&eerts Ih-t No 'olitical Lead.r Could Su tain Ilit whlen a sp..'edy settilemnt of the War Was Deme"ded by Arnerica. Isue a Prociatn a ion to the Inhabltauts of the Inland. H~svANa, Nov. 1.-Captain General Weyler, just prio to his enbarkatiol for ;-ain. :dre'ssed the assemb:ed crowds gath?ered in his honor. In the course of his acknowledgements of their "sy:nnateti' re:~erences to his ap proaning withdrawal," he declared that he had always done his duty in accordance with his souse of patriotism, and that he would leave Cuba "with a serene conscience." He had never cared, he said, for the criticisms of sym: thizers with the rebellion, because he always felt assured of the kindness and wisdom of his policy. So far as the order of concentration was concerned, an order which had been the subject of so much censure by some, it was requested by all Spaniards in Cuba from the very outset. He did not decide to put it into force immeal ately, favoring to await a more favor able opportunity, and the results of the concentration policy, once put into force, "had been very favorable to the national interests." "My release from my post and its re sponsibilities." he said. "did not sur prise me. I had expected it from the death of Senor Canovas, not believing that any political leader would be strong enough to sustain me when the United States and the rebels were together constantly demanding that Spain should come to a settlement. "I count it an honor to have been identified with the local Spanish party. But the policy which I have followed was not adopted in obedience to any political party, but for what it repre sented in behalf of my country. As for the future I offer myself, and shall al ways hold myself in readiness to serve the party aiming to retain Cuba for Spain." Although General Weyler remains in command until the arrival of General Blanco. he has delivered the office of the general government of the island to Admiral Nevarro, and the military offices to General Jiminez Castellanos. General Weyler has issued the fol lowing proclamation to the inhabitants of the island: "More accustomed to the inclemency of the camp than the enervating pleas ures of the parlor, I am rude and con cise. You all know the state of affairs when I arrived and you are convinced that peace- was shortly established in the island up to the Juoaro trocha. 'The sugar planters are preparing for grinding. The roads are in good condi tion. To reach this stage, I have been compelled to resort to rigorous meas ures, but have always afforded a pardon in the name of generous Spain to her unnatural sons. I believe the rebellion is so reduced as to guarantee Spanish sovereignty; and only by artful meas ures, and by a complicity unworthy of Spaniards, will the enemies of Spain be able to imperil it." SUICIDES WITH SCISSORS. Convict stephen Bryant stabs Ihimself Zn H i4 Prison Cell.' OOLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 1.-The con victing of Stephen Bryant, a farmer of Marion, for the murder of his son-in law, was reported several days ago.

As subsequent events proved, he se creted in his clothes a pair of scissors used in the factory- Early Friday morning a guard, bearing groans, went to Bryant's cell and found him welter ing in his blood. He had stabbed himself in the throat, severing his jugular vein. He was dy ing when found. PLOT TO KILL PRESIDENT. Th~e Chieft Executive of Saivador Has a Narrow Escape From Death. NEW YoRK, Oct. 30.-A dispatch to The Herald from Panama says: Pri yate advices received here from Gua temnala tell of an alleged plot to kill President Rafael A. Guitierrez of Sal 7ador, which had its inception in La Libertad. As a result of this plot the train bearing President Guitierrez from San Salvador to Acajutla on Monday was wrecked on a sharp curve as it neared Sonsonate. The bolts holding the rails were loosened and she rails were leased, throwing the train from track. The president escaped unhurt, but the engineer of the train was killed and the fireman injured so that both les had-to be amputated. Te president is now in La Union in apepting the new railroad constructed to San MigueL. Reports from San Sal vador deny that the wreck was the re s*of a plot to kill the president.
