‘Cabled 'the’ Full Document to
Washington—Tenor of the Reply.
New Policy .in Cuba. 1
Madrid, Spain, Oct. 27.—The Spanish
Government refuses to furnish for pub-
lication the text of the note of Spain
.which has been handed to Gen. VVood-
ford as an answer to the communica-
tion which the General placed in the
hands of the Duke of Tetuan early in
September last.
The” United States Minister admits
having received Spain’s reply, but he
declines to diScuss the matter beyond
_ saying that the text of the Spanish‘
answer will be immediately transmit-
ted to Washington. From other
sources it was learned that Spain's
, answer was cabled to Washington yes-
terday.
Tenor of the Reply.
Although the Government will not
give out the full text of its reply to the
United States, it was officially an-
nounced that the reply is on the fol-
lowing lines: It expresses regret at
the fact that the insurrection in Cuba
“receives support from frequent Amer-
ican filibustering expeditions,” and the
belief is expressed that otherwise the
rebellion in Cuba would possibly not
exist. The hope is expressed by the
Spanish Government that by granting
autonomy to Cuba and the withdraw-
ing of American support of the insur-
gents the insurrection will shortly be
ended. It is also officially announced
that the Spanish note is marked
throughout by an energetic tone.
According to the reports in official
circles here the United States Minister
will confine himself to acknowledging
the receipt of the Spanish reply, and,
after forwarding it to the United
States Government, will request fur-
ther instructions from Washington be-
fore proceeding any further in the
matter. It is not expected that the
text of the answer of Spain will be
published here before Congress has
had the opportunity of deliberating
u. on it, and it is understood that the
document may not be published in the
United States until after the reassem-
bling of Congress. But before Con-
gress reassembles it is expected by the
Spanish officials that the condition of
affairs in Cuba will have considerably
improved, and that the whole question
will have assumed a brighter aspect.
Energetic Measures.
Finally,‘ it is announced that the
Government has determined to actively
pursue a new policy toward Cuba, and
to take more energetic military action
against the insurgents.
The Correspondencia says a new is-
sue of Treasury bonds will Shortly be
placed on the market”
No Fear of Serious Complications.
Washington, Oct. 27.-—-~The officials do
not express any fear of serious compli-
cations. They are of the opinion that
when Spain’s answer is received it will
be moderate and conciliatory. No cre-
dence is given to the sensational
reports that a crisis is at hand and
that the Spanish Government refuses
the good offices of the United States.
Attention is called to the action of
the Government at Madrid, showing
that almost everything the United
States. asked for has been granted.
Weyler has been recalled, autonomy
and reforms to pacify the island have
been promised, and, although these
things have been done since Gen.
Woodford presented his note, for. po-
litical reasons the new Cabinet has to
appear before the Spanish people as
firm and decided, and, while pretending
notto consent to the requests of the
United States, is consenting, and at the
same time trying to prevent trouble at
home. The absence of any official dis-
patch was one of the reasons the Pres-
ident and Cabinet did not discuss the
foreign situation at any length, and
Secretary Sherman was one of the first
to leave the Cabinet meeting. The
Secretary of State and his private sec-
retary'expect to leave .on Saturday for
Mansfield, Ohio, Where they will re-
ma.n until after the election..
Despite reports of the last two days
that the Spanish answer had been de-
livered to Gen. Woodford, not a line
from the Minister was received at the
State Department when the last official
left his office there last evening.
Spain’s Plans Exposed.
London, Oct. 27.—All Europe is, fig-
uratively speaking, on tiptoe now in
‘the keenness if its anxiety to know
what the United States will do in re-
sponse to Spain’s defiant note which
has been transmitted by Minister
- Woodford to the Government at Wash-
ington.
There is a general cessation of com-
ment, a sort of calm-before-the-storm
atmosphere here among the London
papers. Even the tempting portrayal
of Spain’s weak and-embarrassed sit-
uation is foregone in the expectancy
of decisive action by the United States.

MINISTER SIFTON’S REPORT
The Canadian Minister Says a Line
of Police Posts, Fifty Miles Apart.
"Will Be Established on Klondike
Routes—To Explore Stickeen.
Skaguay, Alaska, Oct. 21, via Seattle,
W'ash., Oct. 27.—There is a corner in
Hour at Dawson City and none can be
had at any price. This is stated by
Cliff T. Moore, who reached here last
night from Dawson, accompanied by
this son, Morris R. Moore; N. C. Wood-
ring and George F. Compton, all of
Seattle. The party left Dawson Sept.
7, when all the flour in town was be-
ing held for higher prices. Threats
were made that the warehouses would
'be raided and that the people would
help themselves, paying, of course, a
liberal price for what they took. The
stores would not sell more than six
cans of milk, three cans of meat and
other articles in proportion to any one
person. Canned meats sold at 75 cents
a can, milk at 50 cents, beans at 25
cents, sugar at 30 cents a pound. Six
steamers were daily expected to arrive
from St. Michaels. Their arrival would
end the flour corner, and insure ample
provisions for the Winter.
Canadian Minister’s Trip.
Hon. Clifford Sifton, Canadian Min-
ister of the Interior, and his party re-
turned two days ago from a trip over
the Chilcoot and Skaguay trails, going
as far as Lake Tagish. Mr. Sifton
says that from information he received
there will be no shortage of food at
Dawson City this Winter, and that the
reports of ravages by typhoid fever
have been greatly exaggerated. He
also says that the richness of the new
discoveries on Dominion, Sulphur,
Quartz and Moose Skin Creeks in the
Klondike districts has been fully es-
tablished. He said that his Govern-
ment would facilitate any reasonable
plan for getting in the Yukon country.
The Canadian Government, he said,
of the Yukon district are to be devel-
oped easy means of communication
must be had. Posts will be established
fifty miles apart along the routes from
Skaguay and Dyea to Dawson City.
These posts will be garrisoned with po-
lice, and will contain stores of food
and clothing, which can be forwarded
in emergencies to the Yukon country.
Work on these posts has already be-
gun at Sheep Camp, Linderman, Tag-
ish and White Horse Rapids.
Mr. Sifton will to-day examine Tokou
and a portion of the route leading into
the interior from that point. The party
will then proceed to Fort Wrangle,
where they will ascend the Stickeen
River to examine the shoals and quick-
Sands.
NOTED WOMAN A WRECK.
Chairman of the Lady Managers of
\Vorld’s Fair a Slate to Cocaine.
Chicago, Oct. 27.—Mrs. Annie C.
Meyers, chairman of the Board of
Lady Managers of the World’s Fair,
stood before Justice Martin yesterday
afternoon a wreck. She is a slave to
cocaine, and begged to be exiled from
the city.
In the choicest of language she pic-
tured her pitiful condition, and,
four young stenographers wh'o charged
her with stealing their purses were
moved to tears.
, “Not many years ago, as Your Honor
knows,” she said, “I was respected and
honored. To- day look at me. Few
people now recognize me, for I’ve
changed greatly, and all is attributed
to a habit from which few, if any, a1e
ever cured.
“Please do not hold me. Give me
one more chance. In twenty- -four
hours I will leave Chicago forever. I
promise it upon my bended knees, as
God is my witness.’
Mrs. Meyers had the sympathy and
pity of the Co11,1t but in her condition
he feared she would only be trouble-
something might be donevin her phys-
ical behalf, he held her to await the
action of the Grand Jury.
Senator Wolcott in Doubt.
London, Oct._ 27.—The ' American
Monetary Commissioners, who have
been unsuccessfully negotiating with
the Government in_the interests of the
free coinage of silver, are as yet un-
decided whether to continue their rep-
resentations in Europe or return to the
United States without further action.
After considerable discussion be-
tween Ambassador Hay and the Com-
missioners upon the subject ofa reply
to the answer made by the British
Cabinet to the Commissioners’ propos-
als a few days ago, Senator Wolcott
merely acknowledged the receipt of
the Government’s note.
403 Chicago Policemen Discharged.
Chicago, Oct; 27.—Chief Kipley dis-
charged 403 members of the police to-
day. Twenty-five more were retired,
and changes were made affecting elev-
en others. Among the officers dis-
missed are the four detectives who did
the most conspicuous work in the Luet-
gert wife-murder case. The places of
the deposed policemen were immedi-
ately filled by former policemen, most
of whom were dismissed under the
Swift administration.

later she was on the high bridge span-
ning the 'Lehigh River at Hokendau-
qua. She was hungry, destitute and
penniless. She tried to jump from the
bridge into the water, but was chased
from the structure before she was able
to carry her intention into effect. As

her in charge. They brought her to
the Eagle Hotel at Catasauqua and
.put her in charge of Chief Sheckler.

dinner at the hotel and made her com-
fortable. An effort is 1'being made this

toria Hospital, L. 1., or a. broken neck.

Gorham, N. H., 'Oct. 27.—Selectman
Woodbury Gates, the last victim of
Thomas Monahan, will die. The th-
sicians who attended him said this
morning that there was no hope of his
recovery.
Thomas Monahan, while crazed with
drink,‘ shot Joseph Gauthier, an em-
ployee of the Grand Trunk Railroad,
yesterday morning, killing him in-
stantly. Monahan also shot Select-
man Gates, of Gorham, fatally injur-
ing him. Another. body was after-
ward found, which is believed to be
that of a third victim of Monahan. The
murderer was arrested by Sheriff
Hamlin. Monahan has been known
as a village loafer, and was always a.
heavy drinker when he was able to
get money enough to purchase liquor.
. Gauthier, who was a French Cana-
dian, was employed in the Grand
Trunk coal sheds, and usually slept in
a small wooden shanty near the rail-
road. Monahan walked into the shan-
ty. He had evidently been drink-
ing heavily, and carried a gun. Gauth-
ler had no time to defend himself, and
was shot just as he was arising from
his bed. The weapon which Monahan
used had been heavily loaded. Part
of the charge pierced Gauthier’s heart
and he fell dead on the floor of his
cabin.
The murderer fled from the place and
ran up the railroad track. At a point
about a quarter of a mile from Gauth-
ier’s cabin he met a man and com-
pelled him to halt. The man, whose
name has not been learned, was made
to walk around the cemetery at the
muzzle of Monahan’s gun.
The report of the shooting of Gauth-
ier had alarmed several residents
of the vicinity, and a. number of men
started out to look for the murderer.
Selectman W. Gates found him about
7.30 o’clock and attempted to arrest
him.
Monahan became furious when Gates
approached and brought his gun to his
shoulder and fired. A charge of shot
struck the Selectman in the neck and
shoulders, fatally injuring him. The
jugular vein was pierced by several
shots, and the wounded man almost
bled to death in a few minutes.
When Gates fell the madman became
cooler, .and when several persons who
had heard the shooting reached the
spot he utterly collapsed. The liquor
which he had drank overcame him and
he was unable to stand.
Sheriff Hamlin, who had been sum-
moned, arrived, and Monahan was
placed under arrest. Monahan did
not seem to care very much at first
after his arrest, although several times

HAVANA A PEST HOLE.
Disease and Death Are Rampant All
Over the Island.
Washington, Oct. 26.—Only an inkling
,of revolting horrors of starvation and
desolation prevalent throughout the is-
land of Cuba have as. yet reached this
country, because for months no ade-
quate knowledge of «the conditions of
the interior and small towns has been
available. But from the chief city of
Havana, where the suffering must be
least, compared with other portions, al-
most incredible accounts of the bar-
barous results of Spanish misrule con-
tinue to multiply in official records.
Yesterday an official statement was
delivered to the President which
shocked him beyond measure. It was
the regular weekly report of Dr. W. F.
L‘runner, sanitary inspector of the
United States Marine Hospital at‘ Ha-
vana. Without the change of a word
it is as follows:
“The death rate is assuming alarm-
ing proportions in this city, and the
deaths from intestinal diseases, due to
insufficient food, among the poorer
classes amount to about two-fifths of
the total deaths. An inspection of a.
pest hole known as Los Fosos was
made by me on Thursday, Oct. 14. This
place has been set aside for the country
people sent to Havana. Los Fosos con-
sists of a large wooden building about
150 feet in length and 60 feet in width.
The building is situated in an inclosure
which is used for the storing of carts
of the municipality.
“There were 500 people found in and
around this building, and of that num-
ber over 200 were found lying on the ,
floor sick and dying. I saw no child
under 10 years of age who could
be considered in good health. They
were invariably suffering from some
form of. enteritis or dysentery. The
emaciation of their bodies was star-
tling. This place is not a hospital, but
simply a place of residence for these
people. A conservative estimate of the
death rate of "these people would be
about 10 per day. The number is re-
:ruited by fresh accessions from the
country.
“There were over 150 children below
the age of 10 years, and I did not ob-
serve one whose chance for
thirty days under the existing circum-
stances'was good.
“There are two other such places in
i the city where the same conditions ex-

and boasted of having “three bloods
this morning.”
This statement, repeated several
times, led to a search and the discov-
cry of the body of another man. The
legs appeared to have been crushed,
and at first there was some doubt as
to the cause of death.
COUNTERFEITERS CAUGHT.
Italians Used Pure Silver to Make
the Coin.
New York, Oct. 27.—Carlo Salla and
his wife, Mary, were arraigned in the
Jefferson Market Court yesterday on
a charge of counterfeiting. Mrs. Salla
went into Andrew Cuneo's store, at 507
West Broadway, and bought two cents’
worth of fruit, paying for it with a
counterfeit ten- cent piece.
Cuneo saw that the coin was spuri—
ous and followed the woman. She
met her husband outside and they
made small purchases in many stores,
always paying with ten- cent pieces.
the woman dropped the change sh‘ re-
ceived in a small leather bag. Cuneo
called Policeman Murphy and had the
couple arrested.
seV eral bad coins were found, in their
possession. They also had several
molds for” the making of dimes.
Salla insisted that the coins were
made 0f silver, saying that he found“
he could use that metal and make a
profit. The counterfeits were well ex-
ecuted. Detectives Hunt and Wolf
found the couple’s two young children
in the hall outside the rooms in Watts
street, and took them to the rooms of
the Society for the Prevention of__ Cru- f
elty to Children.
Then the detectives decided to search
the apartments of Salla. They hur-
ried to the house. Salla’s rooms are

has refused to admit any new patients
until that number can be reduced.
“During the week there were thirty-
)ne deaths from starvation recorded; in
reality twice that number has oc-
cur: ed.”
In a separate report Dr. Brunner says
it is reported to him “that bodies of
persons buried at Guanabacoa, a small
town three miles east of Havana, are
being disinterred to make room for new
burials, and that the ,stench from bod-
ies not buried a year is unbearable. I
should state that it is the custom to
remove the remains of persons after
they have been buried five years unless
the ground is again paid for, but it
seems in this instance that less than
one year had intervened.”
Dynamited a Bank Safe.
Webster City, 1a., Oct. 26.—Three
masked burglars robbed the State
Bank of Blairsburg yesterday morn-
ing. They used dynamite and the ex-
' plosion shattered the large plate-glass
window and badly wrecked the bank
building. They secured $6,000 worth of
securities and a small amount of cash.
When the first explosion occurred it

yells frightened the burglars, and a1-
ihough they had prepared dynamite for
the second explosion they lost no time
in escaping.
In the darkness two of the burglars
mistook their "pal” for a policeman
and shot him down. He is named
Iames Gillicoin and is 1101: expected to

aroused their suspicions and they tore
them down. To their astonishment, a
dark cave was. revealed to them. - The
detectives obtained a lamp and en-
tered the subterranean apartment. It
was six feet square and dug under the ,
back yard. Here was a. complete and
expensive outfit for manufacturing
counterfeit money.
A stamping machine, weighing prob-
ably 250 pOun‘ds, stood in one corner,
while dies,

floor“ A rolling machine for reducing
the metal into strips of the required
thickness was also in the cave. The
detectives were unable to find any of
the bogus coin. They learned that
Salla and his wife have lived in the
house for nearly two years, and none
of the tenants was ever permitted to
enter their rooms.

Williamsport, Pa., Oct. 26.—Miss Ella
Lilly, of Montgomery, while walking
along the street yesterday, "yawned so
hard. that her'jaws became unlocked.
She' thought her false teeth had
wedged between the jaws, and after re-
moving the teeth and finding no relief
