in REPLY 0F SPAIN;
Madrid Cabinet to Consider Their
Note to the United States.
A DIVISION AMONG THEM
It Is Said the Answer Will Include a
Formal Protest Against Fillbus-
tering Expeditions—Officers Wish
to Leave Cuba. .
Madrid, Oct. 22.-——The Government’s
answer to United States Minister Wood—
ford’s recent 'note in regard to Cuba
will be drafted 'by the Cabinet to—day.
The reply will include a. formal pro-
test on the part of Spain against the
many Cuban filibustering expeditions
which have been organized in the
United States.
Senor Gullon, the Foreign Minister,
has communicated to Premier Sagasta
the contents of a dispatch from Senor
de Lome, the Spanish Minister at
W'ashington, relative to the recent fili-
bustering expeditions alleged to have
departed from New York City and
Jacksonville, Fla.
It is understood in political circles
that there is a sharp difference of opin-
ion between Senor Gullon, the Foreign
Minister, and Gen. Correa, Minister of
‘War, on the one hand, and Senor Sa-
gasta and Senor Moret, Minister of the
Colonies, on the other, as to the atti—
tude the Government should take
towards the United States.
El Correo, on the contrary, says that
Senor Sagasta and Senor Gullon are
“quite agreed as to international ques-
tions.”
Ofilccrs \Vish to Leave Cuba.
Havana, Oct. 22.——Many army offi-
cers, who consider that Sagasta’s pol-
icy of autonomy for Cuba is dangerous
to Spanish sovereignty, have applied
for leave to return to Spain. Lieut.—
Gen. Weyler has invariably refused
refused these applications.
The word "treason” has been heard
of late in several quarters where it is
believed that the Government intends
to deliver the public offices into the
hands of the insurgents, which, in the
opinion of critics of such a course,
would be equivalent to granting inde-
pendence.
Gen. Weyler has cabled the Govern-
ment that although he has fixed upon
the 30th as the day of leaving, he may
embark a day or two earlier or later.
CHAINLESS WHEELS FOR $50.
Bicycle Combine Does Not Control
All These Bicycles.
New York, Oct. 22.—The big bicycle
combine to keep up the price of the
chainless wheel to $125 will meet some.
snags. It is asserted that chainless
wheels will be put on the market for
$50.
The cheaper wheels will be put out
by firms independent of the patents
controlled by the firm which yesterday
placed the first chainless wheel on sale.
Since the League chainless wheel was
invented the firm which is the biggest
manufacturer of bicycles in this coun-
try has been buying bevel-gear patents,
and now has control of not only the
patents covering the League wheels,
but of most of the patents taken out
for bevel gears which the firm could
purchase.
As a result, the big firm has control
of the most important bevel-gear pat-
ents, and many of those firms which
will put similar wheels on the market
will do it under patents leased from
this firm. One of the stipulations of the
lease is that no wheels will be sold un-
der $125. ' '
Although this price will prevail
among the high-grade wheels at‘first, it
is sure to fall, because of the competi—
tion of those firms which will put out
chainless wheels independent of the
combinc’s patents and at a much less
cost than $125.
The war of the chainless wheel, when
' it once gets under way, is certain to be
interesting and to result quite as favor-
ably to the public as did the cut in
price of the chain wheel.

FOR KLONDIKE’S CHRISTMAS.
Frozen Eggs in Guns and Poultry
and Oysters to Be Sent.
Portland, Ore, Oct. 22.—On the
steamship George 'W. Elder, which
leaves to-day for Dyea,.~‘-.laska, Charles
E. Vest, of this city, will ship 4,000
dozen eggs and about a. ton and a half
of poultry, fresh meats and oysters,
which he expects to take over the Chil-
koot Pass to Dawson City by dog train
before Christmas.
The eggs were broken into cans,
scaled up and then frozen. Vest and
four others hope to realize $100,000 out
of the venture. They expect to sell all
the eggs at $35 per dozen and the poul-
try at fabulous prices.
Sons of the Millionaire Dlslnhcrited.
Chicago, Oct. 22.——The report that
Robert T. Lincoln would be offered and
would accept the presidency of the
Pullman Palace Car Company is de-
nied. No one will be tendered the po-
sition until the directors hold a meet-
ing, and there is'no immediate prospect
of their getting together.
The twin sons of the late George M.
Pullman have been disinherited. Such
is the story which has gained currency
since the arrival here of the widow.
The story is to the effect that the bar-
rier between sons and money was made
only ten days before Mr. Pullman’s
death. Mr. Pullman believed in work.
These sons showed no desire to indi-
cate that they might succeed him in
the direction of big affairs. For this
reason, it is said, the father cut them
off.

Paris, France, Oct. 22.—Maj. Moses

seriously ill that his friends are
alarmed, and his return to the United
States has been postponed.
Fast Horses Win a Parson.

He admits that he loves fast horses
better than the church.- The person

Our Readers Are Face to
FaceEWith 'an Unavoid-
able Question.
When the great Hume, the free-
thinker, was asked by a lady of Bath,
Eng, whom would he depend upon the
more, servants who conscientiously be-
lieved in the truths of eternal revela-
t1on, or those who professed to hold
his own opinions, he frankly answered
the former.
When are readers are asked whose
statements can be depended upon the
more, scores of our citizens or one or
two desultory selections picked at hap-
hazard from our broad Republic, the
answer must frankly be, N orwalk
people every time. The only state-
ments that appear at the foot of any
proprietary medicine advertisements in
N orwalk papers, obtained from a pure-
ly local source, are these appended to
the reading notices published by Doan’s
Kidney Pills. The inference is too ap-
parent to waste time mentioning it.
Read this:
Mrs. Alex. C. McLean, who lives at
No. 18 Maple street, is well known to
N orwalk people, being the wife of the
popular manager of a big New Yorx
jobber’s Drug House. She has been a
sufferer for two years and a half, was
under treatment with a Brooklyn
specialist who claimed she had chronic
Bright’s Disease. She got Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills at Glendening’s drug store
and began taking them. Mrs. McLean
says; “I do not care to go into the de-
tails of my case. Doan’s Kidney Pills
are helping me, and I feel very much
better. I have great confidence in their
merit.”

GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY
A Hurricane Swept Several Island:
of the Group and Laid VVnste a
Vast Area—Many Towns \Ven
Razed to the Ground.
Madrid, Oct. 22.-‘-A dispatch from
Manila says that the hurricane and
tidal wave which visited the island 01
Leyte, one of the Philippine group, on
Oct. 12, swept inland and devastated a
vast area of territory.
The advices say that the towns oi
Carigara and Burugo, on the island 01
Leyte, have been completely ruined.
The town of Leyte, owing to its shel~
tered position, suffered little damage.
The tidal wave engulfed entire villages
and thousands of persons were killed.
Information has been received from the
ruined town of Tacloban that the wave
also swept over the island of Samar,
which is separated from the island of
Leyte by the narrow Straits of San
Juanico.
Leyte is one of the smaller of the
more important islands of the Philip-
pines, and is on the extreme east or
Pacific side of the archipelago. The
port and most important town is Taclo-
ban, destroyed by this visitation, on the
northeast side of the island, and before
the war its commerce, Which was with
Manila entirely, was larger than that
of any other town in the archipelago.
Though the population is about 300,000,
the island is less densely peopled than
most of the western islands of the
group. The island of Samar is consid-
erably larger than Leyte. and is close
to it on the northeast. Mountains form
the backbone of both islands, and the
damage is probably confined to the
comparatively narrow plains along the
east coasts.
SURGEON-GENERAL OF THE ARMY.
President \Vill ’l‘o-dny Appoint Med-
' icul Director \V. K. Van Reypen.
Washington, Oct. 22,—President Mc-
Kinley will give a surprise to naval of-
ficers to-day in the appointment of
Medical Director William K. Van Rey-
pen to be Surgeon-General of the Navy,
with the relative rank of Commodore,
to succeed the late Surgeon—General
Newton L. Bates. When the term of
Medical Director James Rufus Tryon
expired last month a great deal of in-
fluence was brought to bear on the
President and Secretary Long to secure
his reappointment for another term of
four years. The President, however,
had already promised the place to Med—
ical Director Bates, second in seniority
in the Naval Medical Corps and the.
physician to the White House family.
Dr. Bates was ill when he received his
commission on Oct. 1. When he died on
Monday last, without having assumed
the duties of his office, it was the gen-
eral belief in naval circles that Dr.
Tryon would be reinstated. Dr. Van
Reypen did not want to become a can-
didate against Dr. Tryon, and it is un-
derstood that he did not make the ap-
plication until Dr. Tryon urged him to
do so.
The new Surgeon-General has been a
member of the Medical Board of In-
spection and Survey since July 13, 1894.
He entered the navy from New York in
October, 1861. His professional stand-
ing is of the highest, and the selection
is considered excellent.
T HE GERMAN ARMY.
A Large Increase in the Estimates.
Old Officers Retired.
London, Oct. 22.—The German Gov-
ernment, according to a. dispatch from
Berlin published here yesterday, in ad-
dition to the sums of money which will
be asked for to increase the strength
of the navy, will soon ask for a large
increase in the army estimates. While
at Wiesbaden, the dispatch says, Em-
peror William struck the names of
many officers off the active list of the
army, in pursuance of his policy of
placing younger men in the most im—
portant posts.
It has already been decided that the
army monoeuvres of 1898 will be held in
Alsace-Lorraine, and that they will be
on an unprecedentedly large scale.
Disease Imported by Immigrants.
Washington, Oct. 22.—A circular has
been issued by Commissioner-General
Powderly, and approved by Secretary
Gage, directing all Immigration and
Customs officers to make careful exam-
ination for the discovery of cases of
fovus, a loathsome contagious diseas
of the scalp, among immigrants arriv
ing here, and instructing them to re
turn all such afflicted persons at the
earliest opportunity at the expense 0/
the steamship lines bringing them to
this country. Commissioner Powderly
says that the disease is a new one and
made its appearance here among im-
migrants. It has proved to be st
born in treatment, and easily com-
municated. It has been decided best to
exclude all afflicted persons from our
country.

Washington, Oct. 22.—Secretary Sher-

McKinley’s example and vote at the

Liverpool’s Improvement ( 5.
Liverpool, Oct. 22.——The Mersey Dock
