SPAIN’S WY READY
Cannot Set an Exact Date for End-
ing the War With .Ouba.
HOSTILITIES TO OEASE SOON
The Paciflcatlon Would Have Been
More Rapid, It Is Asserted, Had It
, Not Been for Filibusters Under
the United States Flag. '
Madrid, Spain,'0ct.'13.—It is semi-
oificially announced that the reply of
Spain to the note presented by the
United States Minister, Gen. Woodford,
has been drafted by the Minister of
Fereign Affairs, SenOr Gullon, and will
be submitted to the Cabinet at its
meeting to-day. '
The reply, it is further stated, will
announce that Spain is unable to. fix
exactly the date when the war will be
over, but the Ministers are persuaded
it will not be long, because “the situa-
tion of the rebels is critical, and the
efforts of the Spanish troops are sure
of success, owing to the rebel situation
and the concession’ of autonomy, ad-
ministrative and economic, which will
be perfected before January. The Gov-
ernment hopes actual hostilities will
finish shortly.”
Spain, the reply coiltinues, thinks the
reforms and the activity of the Span-
ish troops are sufficient elements to se-
cure the immediate pacification of the
island, which, it is asserted, “would
have been more rapid if the rebels had
not had the support of filibusters who,
under the shelter of the American flag,
have contributed to maintain this state
of affairs.”
Sympathy for Weyler.
Havana, Oct. 13.——Senor Romero Ro-
bledo, a former Cabinet Minister, has
telegraphed to Gen. “Leyler from Spain,
saying'that the day will come when
the latter will have “justice done him
and be accorded reparation.”
Gen. Weyler has also received numer-
ous telegrams from other important
politicians, bankers and merchants in
Spain, expressing sympathy with him
personally and with the policy he fol-
lowed in Cuba.
It is now said to be possible that
Gen. Weyler will not leave Cuba until
Oct. 30, When he will embark for Bar-
celona.
BLOODY BATTLE IN IDAHO.
Four Men Killed in a Fight Between
Shepherds and Settlers.
Pocatello, Idaho, Oct. 13.—News just
received from Long Valley, in Wash-
ington County, says that there has
been a battle between the settlers and
the shepherds, in which four men were
killed and one dangerously wounded.
Details are meagre, but it appears
that fifteen of the settlers warned the
sheep men to leave the valley, and
when they refusedmade an attack up-
on the sheep camp.
Thirty shots Were fired by the set-
tlers, and a man named Barber, leader
of the sheep men, was killed.
The sheep men returned the fire, kill-
ing three of the settlers. The rest of
the attacking party fled. -
The trouble is the outgrowth of the
strained relations that have existed in
that section between the settlers and
sheep men for some time. It is not an
uncommon thing for stock to be
maimed and haystacks to be burned
and even settlers and sheep men to ex—
change shots, but no one has hereto-
fore been killed.
League “’1“ Abolish] Temple Cup
Boston, Oct. 13.——The National League,
at its coming Fall meeting in Philadel-
phia, will probably abolish the Temple
Cup series. The actions of the Boston
and Baltimore players in the recent
series was the last straw. They clearly
demonstrated that they cared more for
gate receipts than for the glory of win-
ning the cup, and by equally dividing
the money instead of splitting it up on
the 60 and 40 per cent, as laid down in
the conditions, they made the games
appear farcical. .,
It is said that President’Soden, of the
Boston Club, will offer a resolution to
abolish the series. It may be that the
League-will put up a purse for the win-
ning club. Selee and Hanlon counted
up and divided the Temple Cup receipts.
Each Boston and Baltimore player got
a trifle more than $300.
a
Curnegle’s Big Ore Deal.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 13.—Andrew
Carnegie has perfected the largest iron
producing combination in the world by
securing the lease of the Tilden mine.
He will operate this big producer in
combination with the Norrie and the
group of mines which he owns in the
Mesaba range. Dr. Nelson P. Hulst, a
mining expert, has been placed in
charge of all the Carnegie mining in-
terests.
The series of operations whereby the
Carnegie interests have come into con-
trol of the greatest group of iron ore
producing properties in America con-
stitute the most important movement
that has taken place in the iron trade
for years.
A Jack the Ripper.
ons, France, Oct. 13.—A shepherd
yesterday arrested in the Depart-
ment of Ain, forty-four miles from this
city, charged with committing a series
of so-callcd Jack the Ripper murders.
He has confessed to killing three
shepherds, three girls and two old wo-
I‘nen. Vacher was formerly confined in
an asylum for the insane."
The series of murders attributed tr
him commenced in 1894, and they ap-
pear to have been actuated by purely
bloodthirsty instincts, as the victims
were all poor people.
They were terribly mutilated after
their throats had been cut, and all the
women were criminally assaulted.

How Her Escape O’Was Effected
by a Correspondent.
WILL BE NO COMPLICATIONS
.‘Jo Clause in Existing Treaties Pro-
vides for Extradition in Such
Cases—Action by Spain Improba-
ble—No Complaint Made. '
Washington, Oct. ,13.——The alleged
Charles Duval, who effected the escape
of Miss Cisneros, is Charles Duval
Decker, or Karl Decker, as he is gener-
ally known. He is connected with the
Washington office of the New York
Journal, and was formerly a Washing-
ton reporter in the staff of the Balti-
more American. He was in Cuba last
“’inter for the Journal, and returned
there about a month ago under a‘con-
tract from Mr. Hearst to effect the
girl’s release. Decker is a married
man, and had a written agreement,
with Hearst providing for Mrs. Deck-
cr’s support and remuneration in case
Decker should be killed or put in
prison.
No complaint about the release of
Miss Cisneros has yet been made to the
State Department by the Spanish Gov-
Senor Dupuy DeLome, the
Spanish Minister, is out of town. He
will be the proper person to make com-
plaint.
It is supposed in official circles here
that he will file' a demand for the ar—
rest and extradition of the girl, if she
is in the United States, and the arrest
of‘the young men concerned in her res—
cue. But whatever action the Spanish
Government takes will be merely for-
mal. Nothing whatever to the injury
of Miss Cisneros and those who as-
sisted her to escape will result from
any action Senor Dupuy DeLome and
this Government may take.
The State Department will undoubt-
edly decline to extradite the beautiful
Cuban on the ground that she was a
political prisoner. This is the rule fol-
lowed by this country in all cases of
refugees charged with complicity in
rebellions. As for the men who got
Miss Cisneros out of prison, they are
quite as safe as the girl. There is no
provision in any of our extradition
treaties for the surrender of American
citizens to foreign governments for
trial. Such a provision was inserted in
a treaty for extradition between the
United States and the Orange Free
State during the Cleveland Adminis-
tration, but it was rejected by the
Senate.
If the rescuers are arrested in this
country on demand of Dupuy DeLome,
they will be brought before a United
States Commissioner, who will 'be
obliged to release them on account of
the refusal of the United Statesto rec-
ognize the authority of the State De-
partment to surrender an American
citizen to a foreign government for
trial.
It is believed at the State Depart-
ment that the Spanish authorities are
heartily glad of the girl’s escape, and
will not press the case too closely. A
demand for the punishment of the res-
cuers may be made, however, and a
claim against the United States for
damages on account of the rescue may
follow.
A Demonstration in Miss Cisneros’

committee authorized by the Cuban
d'elegauti'on discussed yesterday the de-
tails of tlhe demonstration, and decided
that it should [take place on Thursday

The Treasury to Appeal.
Washington, Oct. 13.—Secretary Gage
to-day instructed the Collector of Cus-
toms of New York to enter an appeal
from the recent decision of the Board
of General Appraisers, asserting that
the Dingley Tariff law did not become
operative until the moment it was
signed by the President. The order of
the Secretary is based on the instruc-
tions of the department originally sent
out, directing that duties be assessed
on goods entered after midnight on
Friday, July 23.
The Secretary says that the depart-
ment cannot accept the decision of the
appraisers as final, and directs the ap-
plication for review under the provis-
ions of the act of June 10, 1890, “in
order that the issue may receive the
interpretation of the United States Cir-
cuit Court.”
Yellow Fever in Jamaica.
New York, Oct. 13.—Advices from Ja-

although it is hoped that the recent
heavy rains may help to check it. Many
new cases and several deaths have oc-
curred. The serious fears entertained
that Kingston would not be the only
place visited by the plague have been
more than realized, and there is little
doubt that the disease has broken out
in other parts of the island. In Port
Royal there have been several grave
cases among the seamen and officers
stationed there. The city of Kingston
has been quarantined by the naval sta-
tion at Port Royal and by the military
stations at Park Camp and Newcastle.
Gov. Bushnell Confident.
Springfield, Ohio, Oct. 13.——Gov. Bush-

elected. I have visited nearly every
part of the State, and everywhere have

dent. The interest in the cause of free

it was last Fall, when in the rural dis-
tricts gains as great as twenty-five
votes to one precinct were made in

the Missing Part of the Murdered
Man—Sufficient Evidence \Vith-

New York, Oct. 12.‘—The head of Will-
iam Guldensuppe is now said to be ly-
ing on the Fishing Banks, where it
was thrown by a friend and confidant
of Martin Thorn. This man, .whose
identity is known to District Attorneys
Olcott and Youngs, hurled the plaster-
inoased head into the sea from the
fishing boat J. B. Schuyler on July 21.
This was two weeks after the arrest
of Thorn. The friend called on him in
the Tombs on July 20, and it was then
Thorn begged for assistance. The
prisoner told the visitor he had hidden
the head in the bushes near the cot-
tage in Woodside, L. I., where the mur-
der was committed; gave him an exact
description of the spot; said he was
fearful it would be found by the search-
ers and begged him to get it and put
it some place where it was less likely
to be discovered.
Thorn’s friend did as he was asked,
it is said, and returned a couple of days
later and told the prisoner that he was
safe, so far as the head was concerned.
This s0 elated Thorn that he allowed
his propensity to talk to get the bet-
ter of him again and he told of the dis-
position of the head to Frank E. Clark,
a fellow prisoner in the Tombs.

1.334;: Miners Tell of Great
Wealth There.
CLAIMS AEE UNDEVELOPED
Estimates of Immense Ore Deposits
in Ground as Yet Unbroken.
Claims Not as Rich as on the
Klondike, but Climate Better.‘
Seattle, “’ash., Oct. 13.—The steam-
ship City of Topeka arrived here Mon-
day night from Alaska. It had on
board eighty-five miners from Cook’s
Inlet and over two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars worth of gold dust.
George Hall, who represents more min-
ing interests than any other individual
passenger, says that three hundred
thousand dollars came down. No man
had less than one thousand dollars.
The party left Cook’s Inlet on Sept. 22
on the steamer Dora, connecting at
Sitka with the Topeka.
Hall has bought and bonded three
thousand acres in Sunrice district, and
expects, by hydraulic work, to take out
one thousand dollars per day. The
miners, he says, are satisfied with
Cook's Inlet. Gold is not found there
in such large quantities as on the
Klondike, but there is plenty of it and
no trouble about food. "
Among the miners with money were
John Raynor, $40,000; Robert Michael-
son, $40,000; A. M. Brown, $15,000; E. C.
Price, $20,000, and H. A. Schmeser,
$14,000, all taken out in one year.

and the authorites here were informed 3
later. Search was then begun for the
man who had thrown the head into the
water at Thorn’s request. He is known
and the prosecutors of the case know
where to find him when he is wanted.
It is said that no attempt will be made
to recover the head, because District
Attorneys Olcottand Youngs think
they can 'wncluSively establish the
identity of the murdered man without
it.
When Assistant District Attorney
Mitchell, who conducted the examina-
tion of Clark in the Tombs last Tues—
day, asked him to explain how Thorn
came to tell him of his connection with
the Guldensuppe murder, Clark re-
plied:
“I did not try to gain any information
I paid no attention to
in nursing me. Dr. Owen J. Ward, the
Tombs physician, prescribed whisky
and quinine for me. I used to get three
or more doses a day. I did not drink
all the whisky and one day Thorn
asked me for a drink. I gave it to
him, and he felt very grateful.
“After that I used to give the whisky
I did not want to Thorn. The whisky
made him talkative, and one day he
voluntarily began to talk about his’
case. He asked me about Sing Sing
Prison, where I had served a term.
Then little by little he told me his en-
tire story. It was the doctor’s whisky
which made him take me into his con-
fidence. .
“He told me that after he had placed
the head in plaster of paris he carried
it out of the house and threw it into
some bushes, near the Woodside cot—
tage. It was his intention to get the
head away from there and throw it
overboard. When he read in the news-
papers of the finding of the other por-
tions of the body he became alarmed
and did not return to Woodside. He
has not been there since.”
ENGLAND’S GREAT STRIKE.
Other Trades May Be Called Out.
creasing the Strikers to 400.000.
London, Oct. 12.——A meeting of the
Federated Trades Unions was held at :
Carlisle yesterday afternoon for the '
purpose of discussing the question of
calling out all the men composing the
unions represented on Oct. 15 to be in
sympathy with the strike of the en-
gineers.
If the question is decided in the afo
firmative it means the stoppage of
thirty distinct industries, including the
boilermakers, Shipwrights, carpenters.
plumbers, blacksmiths and pattern-
makcrs, and the total number of men
on strike will be increased to 400,000.
The meeting did not decide the main
question of calling out,the trades un-
ionists, but resolved to appeal 'to Mr.
C. T. Ritchie, president of the Board of
Trade, to summon a conference under
the Conciliation act of representatives"
of the Employers’ Federation and the
unions. This will delay the crisis for
at least two weeks.
. Don’t Believe the Charges.
New York, Oct. 12.—A great deal of
righteous indignation has been aroused
among members of the Women’s Home
Missionary Society of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, over the published
statement that the affairs of the De
Peyster Home for Orphan Girls. at
Tivoli, are in a bad way. This insti-
tution is under the direct charge of
the society, which maintains intimate
relatons with the matron and the in-
mates.
The president of the society, Mrs.
Anita B. Fisk. says: “The matron is
a most consistent Christian woman
and is tenderly disposed toward chil-
dren, and not likely to inflict on them
any unnecessary punishment. She is
strict in her ideas of discipline, but not
inclined to be barbarous.

The Topeka brought down John A.
Maloney, a lawyer of Juneau, who had
reports from Dawson up to Sept. 8. He
left there on Aug. 9. He said:
f‘No boats have arrived with food,
and the residents were very much ex-
cited. Every bit of food had been con-
tracted for, but there was not suffi—
cient there to feed the inhabitants until
' Spring, and unless boats arrive from
vation this Winter. That is not idle
talk.
“Fifty persons were to arrive there
on Sept. 20 and come out overland to
Juneau. Scarcity of food is driving
them away. When it became known
that I was going to take a party out
from Dawson on Aug. 29 I had five
hundred applications for passage on
the little steamboat that took us up
' Pelly River. These persons wanted to
come out because they knew that there
would be actual starvation, and they
did not care to be among the victims.
There is gold at Dawson in plenty, but
not food.”
WashingtonfOct. 13.—A report from
the Unit d States educational agent at
St. Mic ael’s, Alaska, representing a
bad condition of affairs in the Yukon

Cabinet agreed that it would be better
to wait for a report from Capt. P. H.
Ray, who is investigating the condition
on the Yukon, before taking any offi-
cial action to relieve the distress. It is
doubtful if any more relief can be sent
to St. Michael’s this year.

STRIPPED A SOCIETY WOMAN.
1A Bridgeport Lady Accused of Stealing
a Diamond Ring, '
Bridgeport, Conn., Oct. 13. -— All
Bridgeport is in a state over the indig-
nities to which one of her society wo‘
men has been subjected in a local jew-
elry store. ,
The injured woman was Mrs. Jane
Wingfield, whose position in Bridge-
port society is thoroughly established,
and she was stripped of her clothing
for the purpose of searching her for a
diamond ring which she was accused
of stealing.
Mrs. Wingfield visited Olsen's store
for the purpose of selecting a. ring.
Max Fairchild, salesman, displayed a
tray containing a large variety. Sud-
denly he accused the woman of appro-
priating a diamond circlet and de-
manded that she replace it in the tray.
Her face burning with indignation,
Mrs. Wingfield turned to leave the
store. .
Fairchild ran around the counter and
interrupted her, at the same time bawl-
ing, “Police! police!”
Mrs. Wingfield turned, and sitting
down, demanded that a policeman be
sent for.
Several officers arrived in response
to the salesman’s outcry, and when the
situation was explained to them Mrs.
Wingfleld was asked to submit to being
searched.
The young woman to whom was del-
egated the task of searching. her had
not'yet found the missing bauble, and
she actually made Mrs. Wingfield oper-
her mouth that she might inspect it to
ascertain if she had pouched the ring
in her check or held it under her
tongue.
The saleswoman was obliged to re-
port that she had found no trace of the
missing jewel, but how the victim of
this search ever managed to get into
her clothing again and find her way
home is a mystery to herself.
The missing ring was subsequently
found in another part of Olsen’s store.
Jeweller Olsen offered an abject apol-
ogy to the injured woman last evening,
but the infuriated husband "would not
listen to him. He still threatens ven-
geance on the hasty salesman, whose
accusation of his wife resulted in the
insults and indignities, and he has
brought suit against Olsen for $5,000
damages. .
RECORD BREAKING EXPORTS.
Valued at $701162,911 Last Month,
Against $52,910,489 in 1896.
Washington, Oct. 13.—Reports re-
ceived from several shipping ports by
the Bureau of Statistics of the Treas-
ury Department show that the reports
of the principal articles of domestic
merchandise were much larger during
September than in any other month in
recent years. August was a record-
breaking month, but September showed
a still greater increase, the value of the
articles exported amounting to $70,-
062,411, as against $52,910,489 for Sep-
tember, 1896. ' :
During the last month exports of
breadstuffs were twice as great as
those of the corresponding month last
year, three times those of September,
1895, and four times those of September,
1894. The increase in other staples of
domestic production was almost as
marked, cottons exported being valued
at $14,655,400, mineral oils at $4,850,891,

Real Trouble in Catskill.
Albany, Oct. 13.—-Forty ‘families liv-
ing on Main street,’ in Catskill, have
petitioned Gov. Black, alleging that the
works of the Eastern Paving Brick
Company, at Catskill, are operated as
a nuisance and are a serious menace
to health. The families living in the
vicinity allege that every sewing ma-
chine near the works has been ren-
dered useless on account of rust, occa-
sioned by the gas from the works, and
that the houses must be kept tightly
closed the year around, because the
kilns give out heavy black smoke, coal
gases and foul and noisome smells' and
odors dangerous to health.

Albany, Oct. 13.—-The State Comp-
troller and State Treasurer are amazed
at the audacious fake statements sent
out by a press association pretending
to show the condition of the State
Treasury on Oct. 1. This statement
said the balance in the treasury on Oct.
1 was $2,313,314. At the State Treas-
urer's office today it was learned that
the balance in the State Treasury on
Oct. 1 was $7,243,904, or nearly $5,000,000
more than was stated, and $2,313,858
more than was in the State Treasury
on Oct. 1, 1896. ‘
