OLNEY’S NOTICE TO SPAIN. Depriving William* of Diplomatic Power* Violate* bur freaty. * &EW Tobk. Oct 14.— A special to the World from Washington says the recent excited dispatches from Madrid are explained by facts revealed ih Washington. What this government has done has beea to formally notify the Spanish government that action recently taken by it in Havana is In Violation of the treaty rights of this country, and that for any damage to American eitisens Or American dignity arising therefrom Spain Will be held responsible. The circumstances are as follows: Since Consul General Williams compelled Capt. Gen Calleja. while governor general of Cuba, to recognize the treaty ot 1877 in the case of Julio Sanquilly, and by so doing prevented the trial of the latter by a military court in Havana last February, the Spanish tovetnment has been restive the question of Mt. Williams' diplomatic author ty. Senor Canovas. the Spanish prime minister, after the subject was fully considered at a meeting of the Spanish ministry at wnich he presided, decided to deprive Mr. Williams of all diplomatic authority and confine him strictly to the purely commercial or consular privileges ot his office Accordingly the Spanish minister of the colonies Instructed Gen. Campos to inform Mr. William* that henceforth he would not be recognized as possessing any authority to transact business with the governor general of Cubs upon other than commercial matters. Gen. Campos sent for Mr. Williams recently and* communicated? to him the instruction from Spain Secretary Olney straightway pre* pafed-a state paper in which he disa* greed entirely with the conclusion of the Spanish minister. The action «f the latter was based on the consular treaty existing between Spain and the United States. From this treaty, signed in 1879. consular officers did not receive authority to cover any diplomatic questions. The treaty' with Spain, however, speci* ties that United States consular officers shall hive all the rights and privileges of “the most favored nation.” This affords the basis for Secretary Olney's demand. The German govern-' merit has a consular treaty with Spain In which consuls and consul general* may act as diplomats if circumstances demand. Secretary Olney informs Senor .Canovas that* the United States demand* that his government concede the same privileges to the United States consul general that are given to the consul general of Germany. The language of Secretary Olney’s dispatch is said to be peremptory. Should an American citizen be arrested at Havana and subjected to trial by court martial, or should any case arise that calls for prompt action by the consul general, the refusal of the local government to recognise him might lead to disastrous results. LEAPS'-. INTO NIAGARA FALLS. Veteran of the Rebellion End* III* Life ' In st Tragic Manner Niagara Falls, N. Y., Oct I+.—Saturday, in full view of a dozen.or more ! people, Lebbins' B. King, a Lockport painter, deliberately took off his overcoat, mounted the rail of Goat Island bridge, about 30J feet above the American falls, and deliberately turned a somersault backward into the rushing torrent, which at that point is the deepest and most furious of any part of the rapids. He struck on his back and floated downward in that position, and a few seconds later, before the eyes of the horrorstricken spectators, was swept over the brink. He was about 53 years old, a veteran of the late war, married and bad two children. He is supposed to have been mentally unbalanced. The body has not been recovered. He left a note in his overcoat pocket saying: “Everybody has been kind to me." DEATH BY FIRE. Blazing I'ralrie* In Manitoba Destroy Several Live*. Winnipeg. Man..
