- SAGASTA IS TO LEAD. Selected to Form a New Minis« S S o Bpainy : ); = S s 7 - His Policy Will Include the Retire- : ent of Weyler—A Much More Liberal Treatment of Cu- = ! - bans Is Assured.’ - Mddrid, Oct. 4—Sagasta has been ¢ comlﬁxissiOned_by ‘the quecn regent to - organize ‘a ministry, and doubtless will send Marshad Blaneo to replace Weyler ~as captain general of Cuba. The new cabinetwill besworn in to-day. The chief qbstacle in the way of a liberal .- solution of the crisis was that the loy- . alist volunteer corps strongly supported the union constitutional party in __opposing the removal of Gen. Weyler. “But the general drift of the crisis was _ favorable to the liberals. ot ; Sagasta, on receiving the command .., of the queeun regent to form a liberal ‘(;cabinet, immediately consulted the “leading statesmen of his party. It is probable that the ministry of foreign affairswill‘be intrusted to Senor Moret. - or to Senor Leon-y Castillo, formerly" ambassadeor at Paris, if Marquis Vega - Armijo declines to accépt-the post in the cabinet which is considered the most difficult. and important on. account of the negotiations with America. The next in importance, the ministty of the colonies, -has been offered to ‘Maura, author of the first Cuban home . Tuleßallo » i Lol Thie liberal government wil] divide the command in Cuba, sending out a civilian viceroy—probably Canalejas—- - and as commander in chief of the military forces Marshal Blagco. . . =« ! It is also the intention of Sagasta to selecti-a very influential libetal states-. man to succeed Dupuy de Yome at Washington. The new cabinet is very well received by a majority of the press, @nd-the:stock exchange saluted the ad“vent of Sagasta with a general rise in all securities. | * - The finacial question is demanding -the greatest attention, and the liberals at the outset of the coming session . of parliament will expose frankly the position of the Spanish treasury. - London, Oct. 4.—The Madrid correspondent of the Standard says: Sa- _ gasta i accepting the .portfolio ex- . pressed his intention to give the largest, ! possiblé measure of Cuban homé rule, to reverse the conservative policy \in Cuba and the Philippines, to recall Gen, Weyler, if he did not resign, to prepare for a dissolution of the cortes and %o .:select able representatives to go to Washington and European capitals, as - Wwell as #0 the colonies of Spain, to prove . to America and Europe that'Spain is at - last going to do spontaneously and sin-’ - cerely what the United States has sug- . gested could be accomplished more quickly and better by mediation ot the .interference which the Spanish people would ¢ertainly not brook, and towhich . ‘norSpanisl&_ government could assent. London, Oct. 4.—A\ special dispatch received here from Madrid says Capt. Gen. Weyler has been recalled from . Cuba. His successor, ‘it is ad?]ed. has not-yet been officially dannounced, but Marshal Blanco will in all probability . _ be given the place. = * Washington, Oct. 4.—ln the view of the .admindstration] the United States - «nd Cuba have all to gain and nothing to lose in the liberal accession to power in Spain!” Even if the party isinot ' willing _to go as far as the extreme . Cuban sympathizers in_ the United © States wish, ‘it is felt that there will ‘certainly be a most liberal offering of ~_concessions to -secure peace in Cuba. Weyler's withdrawal, it is -.believed, avill result.in a general relaxation of ' ‘the severity of the .Cuban campaigns, ', presuming that the war is to continue jor a time at least, and there will be less " complaint of rigorous treatment of in: dividuals suspected of lending aid to the rebels.” The choice of Sagasta toform - a cabinet had been expected for several “days, and gave general satisfaction - among diplomats who regard thisas a distinct step toward an abandonment - «of “the aggressive poliey thus far purssued toward Cuba,and a substitution of * condjliatory methods for militarism. Sa- ; qasg\ is said to have stood from the _first’ in opposition to the policy pursued - by Spain_ for .the last year. 'l'hose. familiar with affairs in Spain say the _Sagasta view has become very popular . in Spain." g : : - [Peaxedes Mateo Sagasta, the Spanish statesman-and leader of the liberal party, ‘ was born in 1827. He is an engineer by profession. and was elected from Zamora in " 1854 te the constituent cortes. He took part. " in the insurrection of 1856 and eventually: sought refuge in-France. When amnesty . was protlaimed :Seror Sa’gast,a‘ rgturnedat%« - Spain and became a professor inthe gchdo " of engineers at Madrid. He also edited La Iberia, the principal organ of the progress- " ist party. He was appointed minister of "}{he interior in the first cabinet formed by 'Gen. Prim. In 1870 he was appointed min- { ister of state. Under the” presidency of Marshal Serrano in 1874 Sagasta was successively minister for foreign affairs, min- " ister of the interior and president of the council of ministers. In June, 1875, he gave in his adherence to the cause of Alfonso Xl7l. and endeavored to form a liberal con- .- stitutional party.. Subsequently Sagasta ~- joined the opposition and attacked the adarvinistration formed by Martinez de Campos and.Canovas del Castillo in 1877-79. In ~iBBo, when a new liberal party was féormed, ‘Senor Sagasta jointed it, and the cabinet of Senor Canovas. del Castillo was dverthrown early in 1881 and Sagastd and ~ Martinez de Campos, by a coalition, came into power: Sagasta’s ministry remained - in offiee until October, 1883, but he was. again in power in ig? and 1888, and in 1895 his ministry resigned and was succeeded. by that of Senor Canovas del Castillo.] _ - Pestal Finances.

SEES ARMIES OF EUROPE. Gen. Miles Finishes His Tour of Inspection and Sails for Home. - London, Oct. 4.—Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Mrs. Miles and Aide-de-Camp Capt, ‘Maus sailed for the United States on the Ameérican line steamer St. Louis .Saturday. The commander of the army has been in Europe- since May on his tour of military observation and bas inspected everything of militaly interest from the armies of the great powers in field action down to “balloons and bicycles,” as he remarked. He has looked over fortifications, barracks, camps,ordnance worksof allclasses,and in the interyals of thiswork has writ.ten three reports to the government, ‘covering different features of European militarism. After his return he will with the assistance’of Capt. Maus, pre.pare another and more comprehensive report in whith will be embodied recommendations for the improvement _of the United States army.., L - To the question as to whether the "United States| under its present military policy, would be able to cope with a‘la‘duro‘pean power, Gen. Miles replied: “In any population it is estimated one man out of five, is capable of bearing arms. That would give us.an drmy of 12,000,000.. Our people are strong physically “and generallyintelligent and well informed. besidés that each citizen is a sovereign and ' personally interested in the welfare of his: government and serves: voluntarily: without being forced into service by a military despotism. We have many thousands of men still living who have seen more war, participated in more battles than any man in KEurope. But it is another thing to equip an army with modern appliances for the defense of a coast where we would have to use high power guns and mqdern projectiles which it takes years to construct, while small armss are not to be made in a few days or weeks. Modern rifles are different from the squirrel guns with: which our revolutionary - fathers went to war. The range of modern arms is "very great and - projectiles weigh 700 pounds to-a ton of steel.” The rapidity of the rapid-fire machine gun, the Jlaxim and Gatling, is 400 to. 609 shots a minute. Although these are Ametican Yaventions, they are largely -used in the §uropean service.”™ : : 1 EXPERTS DON'T AG&ﬂ—a Dr. Me‘rril!nt Persistently Contra~diets Dr. Allport at Luetgert Trial. Chicago, Oct. 4.—The expert anatomists for the defense in the Luetgert case contradicted one another Saturday in a mannér that nade the state sereneiy happy. Drs. L. A. Merrillat and Joseph Hughes, professors in two veterinary eolleges of Chicago, were on the’ _stand until 12 o’clock. Both positively’ identified ¥he bone which the state claims is a-human femur as the lower part .of the shaft of a hog’s femur. Dr. W. H. Allport, ,the expert for the defeiise, who left the stand Friday after two days’-examination, declared it was the upper end of a hog’s femur. Dr. Merrillat said Saturday he knew it was the” lower part, because the foramen ran upward. Dr. Aflport said he knew : it was the uppgr part because the foramen’s direction was downward. T'he -connsel for tlle'del'eqse tealized theseffect of such a contradiction, and endeavored to swing ‘Dr. Mérrillat around to Allport’s opinign, but Merrillat refuced to be swerved. = Dr. Joséph Hughes coincided with the opinion of Dr. Merrillat. : 2 STRYCHNINE KILLS EIGHT.

The spring wheat Yield in Minnesota and the Dakotas has proven a disappointment, the aggregate being, only 129,000,000 bushels. ‘The shortage there is in a measure counterbalanced by the good yield in Nebraska, Oregon and Washington. ‘T'he report says the corn erop is exceedingly disappointing. At the outside estimate it is ab0ut1,750,000,000 bushels. The drought during the past two months reduced the average condition from 82.3 - a tmonth ago, to 78.9 on October 1. The average oats yield of 28.%7 bushels per | acre suggests a crop of 814,000,000 bushels, 100,000,000 more than last yéar. - eN T 7 : THREE PERISH,. 2 Sad Result of the Burning of a Mass:.- : -~ chusetts Home. ~ Springtield, Mass., Oct, 4.—A special { to the Union from East Long Meadow says: Three lives were lost early Sunday morning by; the burning of adwelling house in the center of-this place.

Paul Before the Sanhedrim.——V, 30; 23:1-11. 30. “All their council:” The ‘Sanhedrim, which met-at this time in a .room just outside of the temple walls. Paul extricated himself and prevented the Sanhedrim from agréeing upon any ‘charge against him, by arraying the Pharisees against the Sadducees as to doctrine. Paul was taken back to the .castle, and there in his hour of darkness, when he was weary in body, when his plans and hopes seemed about to fail, ~when |his efforts for his countrymen had made them his bitter enemies; and the Roman power held him in prison—in this hour the Lord stood by him with words of cheer.’ His heart’s desire was granted, that he should preach the Gospel in Rome. .~ PERSONAL MENTION.
