BRITAIN BACKS OUT WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SEALERIES CONFERENCE ■ ♦ Unle** tlie United Stale* Telia Riinmlu and Japan They Cannot Have Representatives. RUMORS ABOUT MR. LANGTRY CONDITION OF THE “JERSEY LILY’S” EX-HUSBAND IS SERIOUS. Probably Inwnrranted Report that He Is a Victim of Foul Play—lrish Cause Condemned by the Queen. ♦ LONDON. Oct. 6.—The officials of the British Foreign Office have communicated to the United States embassador. Col. John Hay, the final decision that the government of Great Britain must refuse to take part in any sealing conference with representatives of Russia and Japan. The British government, however, asserts its willingness to confer with the United States alone, but it insists that Russia and Japan are not interested in the Bering seals to a degree entitling them to representaion in the conference. The British government does not suggest any date for a conference with the United States and it is thought probable in London that Great Britain’s withdrawal will result in two meetings, one between the Untied States, Russia and Japan and the other between the United States, Great Britain and Canada. It cannot be too strongly reiterated the withdrawal of Great Britain from the Washington conference is due to Canada’s insistence, and that until the Canadian officials informed the Foreign Office liere of Canada’s objections to meeting Russia and Japan, out of fear of being outvoted, Great Britain fully intended to enter the conference with the three other governments. But for Colonel Hay’s representations the first announcement of Great Britain’s unwillingness to take part in the conference would have been final, but the United States embassador so plainly pointed out the unusual character of Great Britain’s change of mind at so late a day that some of the Foreign Office officials decided to reopon the question and have been endeavoring, but unsuccessfully, to secure Canada’s acquiesence. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British embassador to the United States, also used his influence in a spirit of friendliness to the United States in efforts to secure the adherence of Great Britain to the original programme. The diplomats hero consider that Great Britain’s course was not courteous to Russia and Japan. Experts who have been investigating the sales of seal skins in Lqmjjpn in order to obtain evidence for the qge of the United States at the conference, have proof that 80 per cent, of the skins sold by the Canadian companies are those of female seals and that most of the animals were shot. Will Not Discuss Britain's Action. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—lnquiry at the State Department confirms the announceirynt from the British Foreign Office, In London, that the British government have refused to take part in any conference in which Russian and Japanese delegates participate. Beyond this confirmation the officials of the department decline to discuss the question, as correspondence Is still in progress on the subject. John W. Foster, ex-secretary of state, who is in charge of the interests of the United States In the Bering sea seal fisheries matter, was asked about the statement that there would be two conferences, one between the United States and Great Britain and the other between the United States, Russia and Japan, but declined to discuss this point at the present time. General Foster makes public the names of the following delegates who are to represent the Russian government at the conference: Councilor Martens, of the ministry of foreign affairs and professor of international law in the University of St. Petersburg; Court Councilor P. Botkine. of the Russian -diplomatic service, formerly attached to the legation of that country at Washington, and Councilor of State Grebnltzky, Governor of the Commander (Seal) Islands.

WAS HE SANDBAGGED? Edward Langtry Suffering; from Conclusion of tlie Drain. LONDON, Oct. 6.—The physicians at the Chester asylum, in which Edward Langtry, the former husband of Airs. Langtry, is confined, believe he is suffering from concussion of the brain. As stated in previous dispatches, it is supposed from the incoherent utterances of the demented man that he fell down a companion ladder on a steamer while crossing the Irish channel. His appearance, however, when taken Into custody by the police, indicated that he had been very roughly handled. Os course, here in London, where It is known that Mrs. Langtry is anxious to wed Gen. Prince Louis of Esterhazy, there are many unpleasant rumors current to the effect that her unfortunate husband has been the victim of foul play. These rumors, however, ure unworthy of much attention, for they are based on the supposition that the California divorce which Airs. Langtry has secured at San Francisco Is as invalid as American divorces usually are in cases where the husband is an Englishman and has his legal domicile in England, and that ■Mr. Langtry is, therefore, an insurmountable obstacle to any new marriage on the uart of the Jersey Lily. The fact is that Airs. Langtry s divorce is perfectly legal in the eyes of the English court, for the circumstance that she was married to Air Langtry, not In England, but on the Island of Jersey, has been entirely lost sight of by everybody except by her lawyers. Jersey, like the other channel Islands, has a code of laws entirely distinct from those of England in certain places. According to these laws, it is open to Mrs. Langtry to obtain u divorce wherever she may choose to establish her own legal domicile, and she i* exempt from the disadvantages to which she would be subjected had she been a full-fledged English woman and married according to the laws of England, and in England, instead of in the channel islands This is sufficient to point out that, from a legal point of view Mrs. Langtry has nothing to obtain from the death of the husband whom she deserted so long ago. though, of course, socially, it would make a good deal of difference, for Prince Louis Esterhazy is a Catholic, and one of the principal members of the oldest aristocracy Official facsimile of Medal Awarded DR PRIfF’S CR^BA^ING^TOR VEf9*M6acii * w$ WORLD’S FAIR, CHICAGO, iSSZ

of the most Catholic country in Europe, namely, Austria. Divorce is not recognized by the Catholic Church, and. therefore, Mrs. Langtry, whatever she might be legally, would never be recognized socially as Princess Esterhazy as long as her first husband was aiiv“. Pi nee Louis Esterhazy, whom Mrs. Langtry is to wed. is rot the head of the house, as has ien stated, but a youngei brother, who has spent the major part of his life in London as military attache to the Austrian embassy, until he is really in everything but name an Englishman. He has long been a devoted admirer of Mrs. Langtry. But it is doubtful whether his elder brother, to whom the newspapers persist in affiancing her, has ever met her. Edward Langtry was born in Ireland and at one time was considered wealthy. He was of a quiet disposition and took his greatest pleasure in his books and country surroundings. Twenty-five years ago he married the beautiful Emil’ie Le Breton, daughter of a C hurch of England clergyman in the Island of Jets* y. Langtry thought his happiness was complete. But within a few years, when his wife was introduced into society, he found himself undone. Soon she was the acknowledged favorite of the Prince of Wales. That was her hour of triumph arid the first blow to her husband. Since then she has inflicted one after another. From the Prince of Wales she turmd to Frederick Gebhard, who at one time was ready to marry her. After Gebhard came Sir Robert Peel and then Squire Abingdon. With Sir Robert Mrs. lxtr'gtry’s escapades were limited to the continent. Witli Squire Abingdon they reached from one hemisphere to another. Mrs. Langtry’s other admirers had been gentlemen. Abingdon was not and in moments of anger he blacked her eyes or struct; hei with his whip, lor these attacks he had to give the Jersey Lily a liberal golden balm before he could secure forgiveness, and so it was that when he died in this country there was littlo left of his former great fortunes. Mrs. Langtry began three suits for divorce, charging Langtry variously w’ith cruelty and abandonment. She claimed that he was living on money furnished by her. During it ail he remained silent, suffering deeply, but saying nothing which could harm his wife, it was not until a few months ago, when Mrs. Langtry secured her California divorce for the avowed purpose of marrying Prince Esterhazy, that he spoke. Then he declared that he should never recognize the divorce, and that in his eyes, as well as in EngHsh law, Mrs. Langtry was not a fiee woman OPPOSED TO HOME RULE. Passage* from Queen Vletorln-'* Letters to Lord Tennyson. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—A copyrighted cablegram from Londori to the Evening Post says: “No little talk has been aroused in political circles to-day over passages in Lord Tennyson’s biography which nearly all the reviewers purposely or accidentally overlook. Those passages in letetrs between Lord Tennyson and the Queen furnish the first direct evidence of the Queen’s bitter and active hostility to the home-rule policy of her then constitutional advisors, and quite upset, the notion that the Queen has become the mere echo of her minister’s views. It is a well-known fact that the letters are now published by the deliberate wish of her Majesty. This lends peculiar interest and importance to the disclosure, suggesting either her belief that Irish home rule is dead beyond recall, though Mr. John Morley had this week nailed the home rule colors to the Liberal mast, or else her fixed determination to withhold her acceptance of such a constitutional change. “Mr. Gladstone was the Queen’s prime minister In June, 1885, and by the Constitution the recipient of her political confidences, yet was at this time w’riting to Lord Tennyson on political topics in a letter which is withheld, but which, as Lord Tennyson's reply suggests, was in opposition to Mr. Gladstone’s views. Again, in April, ISB6, two days after Mr. Gladstone again, as the Queen's first minister, introduced the home rule bill in the Commons, tite Queen writes: T cannot in this letter allude to politics, but I know what your feelings must be,’ which Lord Tennyson a -cepes in his reply as a reference to ’the disastrous policy of the day,’ and declares that he would die rather than see the rebellious loyalists of Ulster repressed. This evidence of the Queen’s stepping outside of her constitutional advisers to conch mn the Irish cause, and possibly embarrass her ministers will only cause much pain in Ireland, if it does not create political troubles. Even the Times questions whether it is discreet to publish the letters.”

CAPTURE OF CANUDOS. Brazilian Fanatic* Defeated and Tlielr Lender a Prisoner. RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 6.—Canudos, the stronghold of the fanatics, tinder Antonio Conselheiro, has fallen. It has been captured by the government troops after a desperate engagement with the revolutionists. Antonio Consellieiro has been taken prisoner. This is the third announcement from Rio Janeiro since April last of the capture of Canudos by the government troops. But it is the first time that Antonio Conseiheiro, the leader of the fanatics, lias been reported among the prisoners. If this extraordinary individual, a strange combination of priest, warrior and man of affairs, has fallen into the hands of the government troops, the cause of the fanatics has suffered the most damaging blow it has yot received. Antonio, the counselor, as ho is called by his followers, has been from the outset the backbone of the insurrection in Bahia, and without his presence and direction it is likely to collapse. Threat* of Tribesmen. PESHAWUR, Oct. 6.—lntelligence received from various points confirms the report that the Afridis and Orakzais will take the initiative if their proposal of settlement is not accepted by the British. In order to secure combined action they threaten excommunication from Islam of such sections or tribes as make separate terms. As the crops are now harvested small bodies of tribesmen have begun to move. More- Space for American Exhibitor*. PARTS. Oct. 6.—Maj. Moses P. Handy, the special United States commissioner to the Paris exposition of 1900, has secured 23 per cent, additional space for the American exhibits, making the space of the United States equal to that of the other big nations of the world. Cable Note*. The sum of £IOO,OOO ($500,000) in gold coin of the United States was withdrawn to-day fropt the Bank of England for shipment to the United States. A cold snap has set in with heavy snowfalls in the mountain districts of Austria and Hungary, in the vicinity of Munich and along the Hertz mountains. The United States, British and German ministers at Lima nave reiterated the representations which they had previously made to the Peruvian government asking for the legal registration of noncatholic citizens. Tite minister for foreign affairs replied that the government had strongly recommended to Congress the approval of a bill introduced for this purpose. STRIKE CAUSED BY A KISS. Other Men Quit Because the o*cnlatory Offender Was Dismissed. NEW CASTLE, Pa., Oct. 6.—Because he kissed or attempted to kiss one of the fair English lassies employed in the dusting department of the New' Castle tin plate works Richard Kissinger was discharged. He is a member cf the Patent Machine Tinners’ Union, which is affiliated with the Federation of Labor. Stealing a kiss was not sufficient excuse for discharging a workman, the officials of the union said, and they demanded Kissinger’s reinstatement. This was refused and a strike was ordered yesterday. About 200 men and boys are out. The company does not claim the girl objected to the kissing, but Kissinger says the superintendent of the mill wanted to get rid of him and took this means of doing it. The girl says he did not kiss her, but even if he did the offense was not serious enough to cause suspension of work. The strikers say they will not return until Kissinger is reinstated. If new men are hired there will be trouble, they say. Struck for Higher Wage*. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6.—About 200 of the 300 employes of the Bradford mills, conducted by John and James Dobson, manufacturers of dress goods and worsted cloth, have gone on strike because of the refusal of the firm to grant an increase of 10 per cent, in wages. The manager of the mills informed a committee of the employes that a 10 per cent, increase would be granted on or before the first of the year if new orders for goods brought increased prices. An :n----mediate Increase was demanded, howev nd, as stated, 200 of the employes ork. A Murderous Kentuckian.

to the depot on a stretcher and placed on a train. He is now on his way to Palntsviile, Ky., where he is wanted for killing Ben Cunningham and wounding Sam Rice. Some weeks ago Jay Draughon killed R. A. L. Draughon. the father of John A. Draughon, near Grant, Col., and in the fight was himself seriously wounded, a bullet having broken his left shoulder. He was exonerated by the coroner’s jury. CIRCUS TRAIN WRECKED. One Employe of Lemon Brother* Killed and Other* Seriously Hurt. HUTCHINSON, Kan., Oct. 6.-At 2:30 o’clock this morning the circus train of Lemon Brothers was wrecked at the west end of the Hutchinson yards. One man was killed, another is expected to die and two are badly Injured. A seveny-foot stable car jumped the track, was upset and demolished. t our circus employes were sleeping on one of the wagons on the w recked car. V\ iilium Baughess, of Osage (lty, aged thirty-five years, was kilku. Albert Ward, of Eureka, Kan., suffered internal injuries aud is expected to die. August H. Bakerfield, Mo., had his spine injured. J. W. Brown, of Faterson, N. J., had his left arm broken and chest injured. The stable car was the only one wrecked. STOPPED BY BANDITS ♦ CHICAGO & ALTON TRAIN HELD UP CLOSE TO KANSAS CITY. Dynamite Placed on the Express Safes, hut It Failed to Explode— Passenger* Badly Scared. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 6.—Bandits held up a Chicago & Alton express train to-night at a point less than six miles from Kansas City. The robbery is the third occurring on that railroad within a year, all within fifteen miles of this city. The Chicago and St. Louis express, which pulled out of the union depot at 8:30 this evening, was stopped by eight masked men at Evanston, a suburban stopping place just beyond ’Washington Park. Evanston is about eight miies nearer to Kansas City than Blue Cut, made celebrated by the notorious James gang, and which was the scene of the two previous robberies on the Chicago & Alton this year, one on Dec. 23 last and one on Oct. 23 last. The train was stopped at the Evanston Siding by the explosion of torpedoes which had been placed on the track. When the conductor and brakemen went out to ascertain the cause of the trouble they were covered with revolvers in the hands of four of the eight road agents. The other four quickly covered the engineer and fireman. The brakeman was compelled to uncouple the baggage and express cars from the passenger coaches. While this was being done one of the robbers busied himself by going through the pockets of Conductor Graves, who was robbed of $22 in coin. In the meantime the bandits at the head of the train had ordered Engineer Volette and his fireman to climb down out of their cab. Engineer Volette hesitated until a pistol ball was sent whistling by his ears. He and the fireman after this persuasion climbed down quickly, and two of the robbers immediately took their places. The others of the bandit crowd jumped aboard the baggage and express cars. This part of the train they ran up the track toward Independence, Mo., about a quarter of a mile. There they compelled the frightened express messenger to open the door of his car. The door once open, they dragged the messenger out by the legs, throwing him to the ground, and then took his gun away from him. The messenger was then compelled to walk toward the other portion of the train. After securing possession of the engine and the baggage and express cars the bandits placed twenty-four sticks of dynamite upon the big through safe and then lifted the smaller way safe up on top of it. They applied the fuse and the match, and then evidently waited for the explosion to reveal the treasure for which so much had been risked. But to;: some reason the explosive did not go off and from the subsequent developments it is evident that dynamite had great terrors for the men, who were not afraid to run the ordinary risks of train robbery. It is clear that they were afraid to return to the express car, for after waiting a few minutes for the expected explosion they hurriedly left the place, running into the underbrush which skirts the railway in that section. The trainmen, who had been left behind with the passenger coaches, politely waited a reasonable length of time tor the robbers to complete their work and then ran ahead to the engine and the two cars. After some delay, for they, too, were afraid of the dynamite, they succeeded in lifting down the small safe and throwing out the dynamite. The engine was then run back to the rest of the train and coupled on, and after a full two hours' delay the express resumed the journey toward St. Louis. The passengers, especially the women, were very much frightened and when the robbers began shooting at Engineer Vallette there was a wild scramble in all the coaches. Diamonds, jewelry and other valuables were hidden in every place conceivable in a passenger coach. Two Chicago & Alton detectives were on the train. Both were badly seared, and neither of them put in an appearance outside of their coach until it was all over but the telling of how it was done. General Superintendent W. E. Gray was also on the train. The express messenger was not only roughly handled by the road agents, but was robbed of s3l from hi3 private purse. The passengers made up a purse of $25 and gave it to him. County Ma-shal Chiles and several deputies, as well as a squad of city police, left for the scene of the robbery at midnight on a special train. There seems to be little chance of their overtaking any of the robbers. as It is believed the gang, by scattering and coming in ono at a time, will have littlo trouble in getting back into Kansas City or Independence.

FORTY-SIX NEW CASES 4— AND FIVE DEATHS FROM YELLOW FEVER AT NENV ORLEANS. - ♦ The Plague Spreading: with Rapidity, but Not Yet Pronounced Epidemic by Health Authorities. TOTAL OF 425 CASES TO DATE BATCH OF NEW CASES AT EDWARDS, MISS., MOSTLY NEGROES. — Seven New Patient* at Biloxi and One Death—Situation at Mobile and Elsewhere in the South. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.—Even as early as 6 o’clock this evening the day had proved a record breaker, both as to the number of yellow-fever cases and as to the number of deaths that had been reported. The increase of cases to-day was not unexpected. The weather was warm during the afternoon. The large territory the Board of Health has to cover makes perfect scrutiny impossible and germs are being distributed which, if the totality of cases was fewer, would easily be restrained. While the number of cases under treatment to-day are in the neighborhood of 250, there are many houses which have not yet been disinfected, but in which the patients have been declared well. Less restraint than usual is imposed on the inmates of such premises, and the result has been that the number of foci has been increased. But the total death rate is still small in proportion to the number of cases. This was the record to-day: —Deaths.— Jean M. Coste, Isolation Hospital. Emma Well, 1521 Cambronne street (Carrol Lon.) Adelina Rogora, 2250 Hospital street. Robert Parry, 3801 Laurel street. M. P. Brady, Jackson Barracks. —New Cases.— Miss Anna Warren, 2325 Annunciation street. Mamie Warren, 2325 Annunciation street.

Two of the new cases are in Algiers, making seven that have appeared in that suburb. The disease has apparently died out at Ocean Springs. The Board of Health officially announces the status of affairs in New Orleans as regards yellow fever to be as follows: During the twenty-four hours ending 9 p. m., Wednesday, Oct. 6, there were: Cases of yellow fever, 46; deaths, 5; total cases of fever to date, 425; total deaths from yellow fever to date, 43; total cases absolutely recovered, 134; total cases under treatment, 243. 4

One Hundred Cases to Date. MOBILE, Ala., Oct. 6.—The total cases of yellow fever here reached the hundred mark to-day. The actual total to date at noon was ninety-nine; total deaths to date, sixteen. There were no deaths reported today and only four new cases, namely: Charles Eastburn. Sister Gt-nerosa, City Hospital. Mary McDonald, Marine street, corner Palmetto. Wilde W. K. Smith, Warren street, near Savannah. All the cases are in the old infected district. The relief work proceeded to-day with commendable rapidity. Many in destitution were helped. In some instances there were found families who by reason of sickness of members or by having their breadwinner out of work were without the least bit of food in the house. Some very touch-,, ing appeals have reached the committee from people who are usually in good circumstances, but are now compelled to ask for assistance. No Danger at Nashville. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 6.—Dr. George N. Sternberg, surgeon general, U. S. A. and president of the American Medical Association, is here as a member of the exposition jury of awards. When asked to-day for his opinion on the yellow fever situation in the South, he said: “The season is now’ so far advanced that I do not believe there will be any extension of the disease beyond the localities where it is now prevailing.” As to Nashville’s danger of fever coming here, he expressed the opinion that there is no danger, saying that “There has not been a case of yellow fever in the State of Tennessee, and in the great epidemic of 1878, when the disease was widely spread throughout the South, Nashville escaped entirely. Indeed this city has never suffered from an epidemic fever and this time there is not the least cause for apprehension. Sixteen New Cases at Edtvnriln, EDWARDS, Miss., Oct. 6.—Dr. Dunn, of the State Board of Health, to-night gave out the following report: There have been sixteen new cases of fever to-day, as follows, the names of the whites being S.

Oct. 6.—Mayor Harrison today ordered stopped the dumping of dredgings from the river along the lake shore between Sixteenth and Thirty-second streets. The order applies both to the Illinois Central Railway Company, which, it is reported, is filling in land near Sixteenth street on a permit from the secretary of war, and to the contractors who haVe a contract from the federal government for dredging the river. Both the dredging companies and the Illinois Central Railway claim the right to dump the river dredgings along the lake shore under the permit of the secretary ot war, and a clash between the local authorities and the representatives of the federal government may result. The mayor claims the city has jurisdiction over the lake for a distance of eight miles from the shore line for sanitary purposes. The dredgings, it is claimed, are being washed out to the intake pipes and polluting the city’s water supply. The mayor declares flatly that the Illinois Central Railway will not be permitted to further till in the lake with the dredgings if it takes every man in the police department to enforce his order. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—lt was stated at the War Department that the secretary granted the permit for filling in the portion of the lake front where the dumping was b ing done. The engineers found no objection to the proposed lining. It is a matter with which the government has no further concern, and is a question between the contractors and the city of Chicago. AUTONOMY'"FOR CUBA SPANISH CABINET DECIDES TO TAKE IMPORTANT ACTION. General Weyler Offer* Hi* Service*, and Say* He Will Not Resign— Demonstration at Havann. MADRID, Oct. 6.—At a Cabinet council to-night the government decided to grant autonomy to Cuba under the suzerainty of Spain and to continue the campaign as long as may be necessary. Senor Gallon, minister of foreign affairs, explained to the Cabinet the position of the diplomatic negotiations with the United States. Senor Sagasta, the premier, has received a cable message from Captain General Weyler, who offers his services to the government, and says: “I shall not resign.”

IN WEYLER’S HONOR. Notable Demonstration by the Loyal People of Havana. HAVANA. Oct. 6.—ln spite of Captain General Weyler’s prohibition, a notable demonstration took place here to-day in his honor. The bourse was closed, as w ere also the principal stores and the tobacco and other manufactories. All the main streets were gaily decorated. The various processions united at Central Park and then moved together to the piaza in front of the captain general’s palace, where as many as 20,000 people were gathered. Several bands discoursed patriotic music. The plaza and the thoroughfares leading into it were densely crowded. A number of deputations went to the palace, where they were received by the captain general. According to the official accounts they assured him that it was the desire of all the loyal inhabitants of the island that he should continue at the head of the government and carry on the campaign against the insurgents. They also expressed ‘‘confidence that the Madrid government was inspired with altogether too high designs for the welfare of the country to withdraw the illustrious chief who had subjugated the insurrection.” Captain General Weyler, after thanking the deputations for their assurances, said he had accepted the command in difficult circumstances and without conditions. The success of the campaign could be estimated and properly appreciated by the country from the visible facts. In the course of seven months four important provinces had been nearly pacified, and he was confident of being able to pacify the two remaining provinces at the proper time with the forty battalions ready for the task. He sa.id he expected to be able to pacify Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba at an early date, ‘‘for the rebels there know me and fear me, and will not resist me.” “Still,” said the captain general, “I believe the war should be ended with war, here as everywhere else, and not with shameful dealings, disgraceful to my nation, and all the more so in view of the terrible condition of the rebels. 1 have followed the policy of the illustrious Canovas. I would like to please those who are to-day demonsrating in my honor by remaining in Cuba, but the delicate position in which I have been placed has compelled me to-day to request the government to dispose of my position in whatever way it may think convenient, and however the matter may be decided I shall always be profoundly grateful to the loyal inhabitants of Cuba who in such eloquent terms have expressed their absolute approval of the policy I am following to bring the war to a close.” When Captain General Weyler appeared on the balcony of the palace he was. according to the official accounts, “frantically cheered” by the crowd, after which the various processions paraded through the principal streets for two and a half hours, shouting for Spain, the Queen Regent and the government. The entire demonstration was orderly and is officially described as "without political color.” The chiefs of the volunteers visited Captain General Weyler at the palace to-day and expressed their desire that he should remain at the head of the government in Cuba. Subsequently they cabled the Cabinet at Madrid requesting that Captain General Weyler be retained at the head of the forces in Cuba as well as the forces of its civil affairs. General Weyler acknowledged their expressions of confidence and said that the criticisms and attacks made on his military conduct were without foundation, as it had always been his plan to finish war with w'ar, in accordance with the customs of all European nations and even of the United States. General Sherman, he declared, while on the march destroyed all the resources of the South that lay in his path; and the Washington government finished the war with war and not with a treaty. El Diario de la Marina, the organ of the Reform party, commenting on the new Spanish Cabinet, in its leading editorial today, says: “The fall of the headless and disconcerted Conservative party means a transition from a dark night to a sunny day: it means a radical transformation of method. Public opinion had received the tidings with great satisfaction, as indicating the re-establishment of peace. The list of the ministers is a clear indication that the platform of the new Cabinet is pure and logical autonomy for Cuba. We have absolute confidence in a prompt re-establish-ment of peace. The rise in Spanish securities in Europe shows that the public in Spain and abroad has great confidence in Senor Sagasta’s Cabinet.” The Union Constitucional, the organ of the Conservative party, says: “The change in the Spanish Cabinet is of minor importance, as all true Spaniards must have the same patriotism in defending the high ideals of the nation.” El Pais, the organ of the Autonomist party, says it sympathizes wdth the new' Cabinet for having declared in favor of autonomy and, hopes Senor Sagasta will make good in power the promises he gave while in the opposition. La Lucha says: “This is the last chance in a game of the gravest importance for the future and for the history of Spain and her colonies.” The Conservatives generally express themselvf s as satisfied by the exclusion of former Ministers Gamazo and Maura from the new Cabinet: as after the threats of El Diario de la Marina that if they refused to humbly bow to the new Cabinet it would be necessary to point the cannons of Morro Castle on the city of Havana they had feared that, with S< nors Gamazo and Maura in power, the abuses of the days of General Calleja would be repeated n consequence of the imprudent utterances >f El Diario. Friends of the insurgent cause, while not lisgusted with the new Cabinet, say they are not satisfied with an autonomy which arrives after the island lias been ruined tml the insurgents have sacrificed many Ives. A well-known American who has long reified in the island expresses the opinion hat real differences exist among the resilent Spaniards as to the desirability of mtonomy. He believes it will not prove atlsfaetory to the radical element among he Spaniards in Cuba. After autonomy nas been granted and peace is proclaimed.

he believes, the radical element will probably try to promote another insurrection. In that event the conservative element and the producing body of the Spanish population would at once demand annexation to the United States. This view is shared by many resident Spaniards of prominence. The rumor that Marshal Martinez Campos would probably he reappointed to command in Cuba gave great satisfaction to the native islanders, but the Spaniards openly expressed their disapproval, as they consider that his weakness was the original cause of the revolt. They hold Campos responsible for the extension of the insurrection into western Cuba. . CASE OF JILIO SANGIILLY. Point* from n, Pamphlet Issued by the Cnhau"* Attorney. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—The celebrated case of Juiio SanguiUy is presented in a semi-official form In a pamphlet issued to-dky by Sanguilly's counsel here, Jose I. Rodriquez. It tells the story In detail and gives a number of letters passing between Secretary Olney, Senator Sherman. Consul General Lee and the United States minister at Madrid, Mr. Hannis Taylor, not appearing in ti.e State Department publications and heretofore unpublished. Asa whole the document upholds the course of President Cleveland and Secretary Olney and points out that the agitation in Sanguilly’s behalf in Congress served only to prejudice his case. The conclusion of the pamphlet says in part: “The Sanguilly case reveals, prominently above all its other features, and in the most striking similitude with ail the phases of toe political situation in Cuba, ever since IKS. that a feeling of deeply rooted, almost invincible distrust is the prevailing element in the relations between Spain and Cuba. It bears testimony exactly the same as the Cuban problem, to the fact, whether willingly or unwillingly accepted, and each time letter established, that in ad questions concerning the action of Spain in this continent the United States of America is a party to the contention- and that ,n obedience to eternal laws of nature, the wishes of the government of the United States of America have always to prevail in the end. And it shows, in line, and in no Urser degree than the Cuban problem, that all attempt, no matter how much accompanied by noise and alleged popular support, to force on the administration an undesired attitude, or to dictate to it the manner and the form in which its duty must be performed—is foolish to the extreme, and dangerous even if it is sincere. "Had it not been for this giant, who is called the American government, had it happened for its executive and diplomatic department to be intrusted to less faithful hands, or to persons of less political honesty than President Cleveland and his secretary ot state, Mr. Olney, the late of Sanguillv would have been very different. Thanks to the courage of those two great Americans, to tluir wonderful power of resistance to Improper pressure from whatever side, and to their kindness towards the prisoner in whom they saw only a fellow-citizen, Julio Sangutlly is not still nngerine Inside a Spanish fortress, or serving a sentence as cruel as ignominious. The intervention of the Achilles of the Cuban war of 186S-IS7B saved Sangutlly upon the field of battle. The intervention of the Achilles of the American diplomacy saved him now from his enemies and perhaps also from his friends.” GAS WAR PROBABLE. Chicago Trust May Have Strong Competition Before Long;. CHICAGO, Oct. 6.—A “gas war” in this city is the probable outcome of a deal now partially consummated by which Eastern capitalists will take control of the two companies independent of the so-called trust. By a recent act cf the Legislature all of the gas companies of Chicago, with the exception of the Mutual Fuel and the Universal, were consolidated. The independent companies have a combined daily capacity of 14,000,090 feet. The consolidated works have an output of 17,000,090 feet. Numerous offers have been made to the independent companies, but none of them has been considered s* riousiy. it is now stated that the Standard Oil interests are backing an offer of $6-,o.o,G<'u and it is asserted that the offer will be accepted. It is understood that “Gas" McMillan is acting for the syndicate, but it is stated that no antagonism for the alleged trust is on foot. The oil magnates are, it is believed, bucking the deal with the object of securing for the Standard Oil Company a larger output for its product. John J. Mitchell, president of the Illinois Trust-and Suvings Bank, who is the largest individual stookho! i*~r ill the independent companies, stated emphatically that the offer did not come from the alleged trust. From other sources comes a story to the effect that Edward Addicks is about to obtain an option or. the Ogden Gas Company’s franchise, and with these powerful competitors in the field the alleged trust may be compelled to meet sharp rate cutting. AN UNPROFITABLE YEAR. AmuNkeng Mill* Lost Money, Partly Due to Southern Competition. MANCHESTER, N. H., Oct. 6.—The stockholders of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company held their annual meeting to-day. Jefferson Ccclidge, the treasurer, said that the Amoskeag mills had experienced an unprofitable year. On the whole the last year had been the poorest of all.

Tne matter of building anew mill in the Southern States was indefinitely postponed.

FELL WITH A PLATFORM. Thirty People Injured at Kansas City, Five Very Seriously. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 6 —Thirty people were injured to-night, several of them seriously, by the falling of a platform at the Fifteenth-street station of the Independence Electric Railway. The station was crowded with suburban residents who were returning home from the carnival festivities. The platform, which was old and weak, gave way under the strain and when it went down probably fifty people were precipitated a distance of eighteen feet. The moat seriously injured are: ' MRS. L. W. BALDWIN, Independence, Mo., ageil fifty-eight, spine injured; may die. MRS. R. M. VENABLE, Independence, shoulder dislocated. BALLIF. RICE, aged nine years. Independence, arm broken. MRS. J. T.

D., Oct. 6.—Three men were killed by an accident in the Homestake mine this morning. Their names: Charles Fannel, Charles Gustafson and Charles Dalsair. They had set off two blasts which did not explode. The men went to investigate and the blasts went off. The bodies are buried under a mass of ore thirty-six feet deep, AN AWFUL SORE A Babe’s Untold Suffering And Mother’s Many Sleepless Nights. qUTiCURA WORKS WONDERS. I herewith write out in full the beginning and end of that terrible disease, Eczema, which caused my babe untold suffering, and myself many sleepless nights. My baby was born seemingly a fair, healthy child, but when she was three weeks old a swelling appeared on the back of her head, and in course of time broke. Every one called it a boil, and, now it had broken, would soon heal, • but that was only tne beginning of the trouble. 11 did not heal but grew worse, and the sore spread from the size of a dime to that of a dollar. I used all kinds of remedies that I could think of but nothing seemed to help, in fact it grew worse, her hair fell out where the scro was and I feared ft would never grow again. It continued until my aged father came on a visit, and when he saw thq baby he told me “ to get CrTiccßA Soap and CtmccrtA ointment right away.” To plase him I did so, and to my surprise, by their use the sore began to heal over, the nair grew over it, and to-day she has a nice head of hair, her skin is as fair as a lily, and site has no scar left to recall that awful sore.
