Senor Sagasta, the Liberal leader and former prime minister, said that the Spanish government was certainly not trying to force on a war with the United States. "It has taken," he said, "the utmost precaution to protect the lives and property of American citizens in Spain since the trouble began, all anti-American demonstrations have been promptly stopped, and no American up to the present time has suffered the least harm."
A Russian View.
NEW YORK, April 14.—A dispatch to The Herald from St. Petersburg says: The Novosti scores American legislators for their attitude toward Spain on the Cuban question: It says: "The devolution would have been finished long ago had it not been for the support of America. From an international point of view the attitude of the Americans can not bear criticism. It is due to an extravagant appetite for the extension of the United States. Spain's cause is lost, for she is dealing not with Cuba, but with America."
Spanish Press IU-Humored.
LONDON, April 14.—A dispatch from Madrid to The Standard says: "The press here evinces ill-humor because American juries have acquitted the captains of notorious filibuster vessel intended for Cuba. The Epoca declares that in the event of a conflict between Spain and America over Cuba Spanish diplomacy would speedily make the matter a European question, and it insinuates that Spain is sure of European aid in such an event."
EPIDEMICS Roentgen
The
Cholera was the easiest and appears to have been wiped out entirely. Diph theria has been treated very tenderly and favorably, but after eight days has failed to show the slightest signs of life. There has been no activity in the baote ria of the other classes, and, with certain modifications, the doctors are now ready to announce that the ray, properly applied, will destroy any form of infectious or contagious germ. This is indorsed by the college faculty, and the entire electrical equipment, the best the west, will be turned over this week for future proof of the discovery, which is now maintained to be a fact.

TROUBLE WITH SPAIN
It Can Be Avoided by a Very Little Diplomacy.
OUR OVERTURES MET HALFWAY.
If the United State* Will Approach the Spanish Government In a Friendly Spirit, Autonomy Will Be Granted to Cuba.
The Spanish Fren Very 111-Humored—A Russian View of the Situation. NEW YORK, April 14.—A dispatch to
The Herald from Madrid says: With the employment of a very little diplomacy by the United States the impending trouble with Spain can be averted. Your correspondent is able to state this almost authoritatively after oonverr tions with the leaders of the two important political parties in Spain.
If the United States will approach the Spanish government in a friendly spirit and ask exactly what condition of autonomy the Spanish government will grant to Cuba before the former government recognizes the insurgents on the island as belligerents, the Spanish will meet such overtures half way.
IMPOSSIBLE.
Rays to Be Used as a Preventive.
CHICAGO, April 14.—Professor W. P. Pratt and Hugh Wightman, the electrotherapeutist and bacteriologist of Bennett Medical college of this city, claimed to have practically proved within the last week that epidemics will be impossible in the future. They claim that Asiatio cholera is no more to be feared than earache, and that diphtheria, glanders and typhoid must all yield to the new remedy, the Roentgen rays. Tne various germs were grown in tubes in proper media. Magnetic lines of force from the Crookes tube were passed through them. The appli cation lasted two hours.

WOMEN
Hereafter They Will Be Admitted 1 Delegates to the M. E. Conference.
PITTSBURG, April 14.—The question of the admission of women delegates to the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church has been practically settled in their favor.
A letter just received by Rev. C. W. Smith, D.D., editor of the Pittsburg Christian Advocate from Rev. D. S. Monroe, D.D., of Altoona, secretary the general conference, stated that the constitutional amendment which carried with it the fate of the proposed women delegates had received more than the required three-fourths vote of those present and voting in the annual conferences.
Ten of the 120 annual conferences have not yet voted, but when they do it can not effect a change in the present state of the movement. The vote to date is 6,987 in favor of the amendment and 2,187 against it. This gives the required majority with 875 votes to spare.
WILDCAT STILLS SEIZED.
Four Moonshiners' Outfits Destroyed and One Man Killed.
DALTON, Ga., April 14.—Four wildcat dens in the Murray county mountains were pounced upon by Internal Revenue Collector A. B. Tatum and posse of deputy marshals, the stills and 20,000 gallons of liquor in different stages destroyed and six prisoners taken. Two plants were captured in "Dead Man's Hollow," and two men arrested.
A third and fourth still were found 011. the Tennessee and Georgia state line in an impenetrable canyon known as 'Rattlesnake Gulch." Here the largest quantity of liquor was spilled, but not bolo.. 0 an exchauge of shots. John Jon,aas, a moonshiner, was shot, per* llil' .lE.llit'.
NEW CONSUL TO CUBA.
Pitehugh
LM
The resignation of Mr. Williams caused no surprise here. For months past rumor has been busy with Mr. William's name, and it has repeatedly been stated during that time that he had resigned. The denials that were obtained from official sources were always so plirased as to carry only the statement that Mr. Williams was at the time of denial still in office, and the conviction obtained, based not only on these denials, but on certain expressions let fall by Mr. Williams during his visit to Washington last year, that his resignation has been at the disposal of the president for some time past. It is known that Mr. Williams has been desirous of surrendering his effice as he has accumulated a private fortune, being interested in private business ventures that require mucn of his attention, and more than all else, being thoroughly tired of the official duties of his place.
Touching the manner in which he has discharged these duties, the officials of the state department are full of praise, and Mr. Williams leaves the consular service with the reputation of being the model consular officer of the United States. He has been
ST. LOUIS, April 14.—Joe Hadcezake, a Pole, whose screams.for mercy drew a crowd to his home, 1426 Ofallon street, yesterday afternoon, was rescued from the hands of his wife and stepson, who were trying to kill him with a hatchet. Blood covered the man's head and was spattered over the woman and her son, who desisted when the neighbors came in. THe badly wounded man pointed to the hatchet and a trunk and said: "They wanted to get rid of vv\"
When taken to tne v. ^ital an examination revealed the "iuui. tuat the Pole's skull was crushed and the doctors said he could not live.
Mrs. Hadcezake was arrested, but her son escaped by jumping from a second story window.
Shot Wife and Sister-In-Law.
MADISONVILLE, Ky., April 14.—About 4 o'clock yesterday morning a negro named Henry Edmunds, who had not been living with his wife for some time, slippeu into her home, and, after treating her in a terrible manner, shot her to death. The woman's sister, who was visiting her, ran to her aid and Edmunds shot and dangerously wounded her. Edmunds made his escape, and has not been captured. Excitement is at a high pitch among the colored population.

SENATE AND HOUSE.
But Very Little Accomplished by Either IJraiich of Congress.
WASHINGTON, April 14.—At the instance of Mr. Gorman the senate yesterday determined to open the publication of the patent office Gazette to general competition. Reference was made during the discussion to the investigation some months ago into the circumstances by which a friend of the then assistant secretary of state, Mr. Josiah Quincy, was awarded the contract. Mr. Gor man carried his amendment for an open competition, although Mr. Piatt, chairman of the committee on patents, was in opposition. The rest of the day was given to the Dupont case, Senators Burrows of Michigan and Brown of Utah supporting Mr. Dupont's claim.
The house spent the day transacting busire^f! relating to the District of Co lumbia. Several bills were passed. It was the intention of Mr. Bartlett (Dem., N. Y.) to call up his bill to authorize racing in the District of Columbia, but he was given no opportunity to do so.
