W'ashington, Feb. 11.—A dispatch was
' received from Minister Vi’eodford at 11
o’clock last night, and thc matter wa:
considered of such importance that the
members of the Cabinet were sum-
moned to the White House immediatcl;
. upon its receipt. The communication is
of considerable length, and it is prob
able the dispatch will not be reduced
to plain English until to-day. The tea:
is entertained that. the Spanish Gov-
ernment has acted upon the request 01
Senor De Lome without regard to the
request of this Government for his re-
call. If that should prove correct, it
is reported on good authority that the
President will direct the Secretaiy 01
State to send to the offending Minister
his passports to- day.
lllmlrid Cabinet Accepts the Resignation.
Madrid, Spain, Feb. 11.—At a meet-
ing of the Spanish Cabinet yesterday,
under the presidency of the Queen Re-
gent, the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
Senor Gullon, read a dispatch from
Senor Dupuy de Lome, the
Minister at Washington, saying that
the published letter to Senor Canalejas
was written by him, and that his posi-
tion, consequently, had become unten-
able, and he begged the Government to
accept his resignation.
The Government decided to accept
the resignation, and the Ministeis
subsequently met and decided to cable
to Senor De Lome their decision, and
intiusting the First Secretary with the
conduct of the current affairs of the
Legation.
All the comments on the subject bit-
terly denounce the “business of steal-
ing and publishing a private letter.”
After the Cabinet Council, the Pre-
mier, Senor Sagasta, told the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press that
Senor Dupuy de Lome had “bravely"
admitted the authorship of the letter.
GEN. STEWART L. ‘VOOI F0 :l).
Whose house is guarded by Spanish soldiers
For some time past the authorities
here have been taking extra precau-
tions in guarding the residence of the
United States Minister, Geneial Stew-
art L. Woodford, which is on the out-
skirts of the city. On Sunday the
guard was reinforced by twenty-four
men, and the Heraldo says that even
this was not considered sufficient. All
day long additional precautions were
adopted, evidently under the impres-
sion that public order might be dis-
turbed. Therefore, a. number of mount-
ed Civil Guards were posted in the vi-
cinity. Thereupon, the Heraldo asks
whence the necessity for these precau.
tions, since Madrid has offered abso-
lutely not a single symptom of justify-
ing such measures.
THE SITUATION VERY GRAVE.
Spain’s Answer May Not Be Satisfactory
to the Department.
Washington, Feb. 11.—-—The dispatch
from Madrid. announcing the accept-
ance of De Lome's resignation by the
Spanish Cabinet, seems to put the mat-
ter in a graver aspect. Much depends
upon the terms employed by Spain in
announcing to this country the accept.
anc of the resignation.
It might be said that to permit De
Lome to resign, instead of recalling
him, is in a measure, to condone his
offense. The action could be relieved
of this interpretation onlyby Spair.
employing such terms in the accept-
ance of the resignation as to convey
censure. In the absence of an expres
sion of censure, the acceptance of De
Lome’s resignation would be regarded
as an ungracious manner of dealing
with the case, and would show a sit-
uation not unlikely to result ultimately
in suspension of diplomatic relations
The proper and gracious thing f01
Spain to have done in this emergency
was to comply exactly with the re-
quest made by this country through
General VVoodford. _
A cable was received at the State
Department from General W'oodford
yesterday afternoon. Judge Day ac.
knowledged its receipt, but refused tc
make public its contents. This was
accepted as meaning that the answei
from Spain was not altogether satis-
factory.
The cable from General W'oodford is
in response to instructions sent to him
“'ednesday by Secretary Sherman, di-
recting him to inform the Spanish Gov-
ernment that owing to the (Z‘analcjas
letter, Mr. De Louie’s usefulness 11‘.
this country is at an end. The lan-
guage in which these instructions tc
General 'Woodford was couched in was
strong and emphatic, and left no room
for doubt in the minds of our Ministei
at Madrid that President McKinley
was determinel that De Lorne should
leave.
General VVoodford was informed that
“The immediate recall of Mr. De Lome
is expected by the President.”
It has been unofficially stated at the
State Department that the President
has made up his mind to refuse tc
permit the matter to end with the ac-
ceptance of Mr. De Lome’s resignation
by the Spanish Government, but that
he will, if necessary, send passports tc
Mr. De Lorne, which is the diplomath
manner of dismissal.
General W'ood f’ords dispatch to the
State Department v 'as not a long one.
It was at once given to the cipher
clerks and was translated into Eng—
lish. Its contents must have been sat-
isfactory to Mr. Day, for' the latter ap-
peared to be in a particularly pleasant
frame of mind.
Mr. De Lome has scarcely ventured
to put his foot out of doors since the
revelation of the Canalejas letter.
State Department officials are won-
dering whether or not the Spanish
Government will appoint a successor
to De Lome. It is the general opin-
ion that a new representative will be
soon credited to Washington, and that
the President Will give him a courte-
ous welcome.
DE LOME NO LONGER RECOGNIZED.
His Official Connection with the State
Department Ended.
Washington, Feb. 11.—Don Enrique
Dupuy de Lome is no longer Minister
of Spain accredited to this country.
Although he has not received his of—
ficial notice of his recall, so far as his
relations with this Governent is
concerned, he is out. Yesterday
Diplomatic Day, and the secretary of
the Spanish Legation was among the
callers at the State Department, and
was recognized as Acting Charge d’Af-
faires, thus officially promulgating the
fact that Senor De Lome has no longer
diplomatic connection with this Gov-
ernment. Assistant Secretary Day,
who has charge 111' this reatt‘r, an—
nounced yesterda _ ...;ra1 \V’ood-
ford had been lllsll‘LlC‘ted to demand
the recall of Senor De Lome, and, if
this was not done, the United States
Government would dismiss the Spanish
Minister with his passports.
As stated in these dispatches, this
procedure was decided upon by the
President, after he had seen the orig-
inal letter from Senor De Lome to
Senor Canalejas, and after it had been
translated at the Department and the
signature was verified by documents
from Senor De Lorne himself. After
the investigation of the letter, Judge
Day informally called upon the Span—
ish Minister, who did not deny the au-
thenticity of the epistle. Immediately
on this confession, the President or-
dered a cable sent to Minister Wood—
ford, demanding De Lome’s recall. Al-
though this dispatch did not name any
time in which the United States ex-
pected Spain to act, it is a diplomatic
custom that all such dispatches should
be acted upon within twenty-four
hours after receipt.

THE DEPARTMENT’S
IVIinister “'oodford Instructed to Demand
De Louie’s Recall.
Washington, Feb. 11.—The State De-
partment yesterday gave out for pub-
lication the substance of the cable-
gram sent Wednesday to General
Woodford, our Minister to Madrid, in
reference to the De Lome letter. The
statement is as follows:
“There has appeared in the public
prints a letter addressed by the Span-
ish Minister to Mr. Canalejas. This
letter, the Minister admits, was writ—
ten by him. It contains expressions
concerning the President of the United
States of such character as to end the
Minister‘s usefulness as a. representa-
tive of his Government in this coun—
try. General VVoodford, therefore, was
instructed at once to say to the Minis-
ter of State that the immediate recall
of Mr. Dupuy De Lorne is expected by
the President.”
Senor De Lome is acting on the pre-
sumption that his services are closed.
and is preparing his household for de-
parture. No time has been fixed for
his leaving. The termination of his of—
ficial work may come to-day, or possi-
bly may be deferred still longer. For
the present he continues to exercise
his functions as Minister. On his being
relieved, the first secretary of the Le-
gation, Senor Pablo Soler, will 6e

secretary to the late Premier of Spain.
Senor Canovas. It is not expected that
the services as charge will be more
than temporary, as a. new Minister,
chosen from Premier Sagasta’s Liberal
adherents, is expected to be named at
an early day.
While the foregoing gives the action
taken by the Spanish authorities, the
result may be considerably affected by
the steps taken by the State Depart-
ment. The Department is acting with-
out; reference to the Minister’s resigna-
tion. It shaped its action after receiv-
ing the original letter written by De
Lome to Canalejas. Thisi‘original came
into the possession of the Department
Wednesday, and was carried by Judge
Day, Assistant Secretary of State, to
the Minister’s residence. The meeting
could not have been other than painful.
There was no denial on the part of the
Minister. When Judge Day learned
direct from the Minister that the letter
was genuine. the cabiegram to General
Woodford was sent. These instructiOns
will go before the Madrid authorities,
along with the Minister's resignation.
Opinion of Prime hIinister Sagasta.
Madrid, Spain, Feb. 11.—Premier Sa‘
gasta, commenting upon Dupuy De
Lome’s insulting letter, said last night:
“There is no possible reason why the
unfortunate incident should alter the
relations between Spain and the Unit-
ed States, which are, and We hope will
remain, cordial and friendly, nothing
having occurred recently to mar them.”
In commenting upon the report that
the Spanish Navy was being- assem-
bled to be dispatched to the United
States. the Premier said: “That state-
ment is absolutely without foundation.
The Government has never entertained
such an idea. The Vizcaya alone will
go to repay the visit of the Maine. She
will not be accompanied by any other
vessel. as the cruiser has no need of
an escort.
Cmnment in London .
London, Feb. 11.-~-The St. James’ Ga-
zette alone comments upon the De
Lome incident. It says:
“Senor De Lorne has resigned, and it
was the right course, Whether he wrote
or did not write the letter; but the in—
cident is bound to make unpleasant-
ness between the two governments and
add to the chances of trouble about
Cuba, which are by no means so few
as certain authorities profess to. be-
lieve.”
The Washington correspondent of the
Daily News says: “President McKiné
ley is resolved that Spain shall .have
no vestige of an excuse to pick a quar-
rel with the United States; and Spain
can disown Senor De Lome’s utterance

Pittsburg, Pa... Feb. 11.-+The loss of
life and destruction of property by the
fire at Thirteenth and Pike streets.
Wednesday night, was the greatest in
the history of Pittsburg. The death
list numbers eleven, as follows
John A. Berry, lieutenant of police;
I‘hos. Claffey, John Dwyer, thirty-five
years old; John Hanna, bookkeeper. icc
company; Geo. Loveless, forty years
old; Wm. Scott, Jr., twenty years old,

Over a score were injured, and
property valued at $1,500,000 was de-
stroyed.
The estimated losses are: Union
Storage Company, $775,000; Hoevelers
Storage Warehouse and contents, $600,-
000; Chautauqua Lake Ice Company,
$150,000; Pennsylvania avenue houses,
525,000.
The individual losers in the Union
Storage Company’s warehouse were:
Economy Distilling Company, 8,000
barrels of whisky, in bond; G. W.
Smith Company, whisky in bond; YV. J.
Friday Company, whisky in bond; Mo-
nongahela Textile Company, wool deal-

goods; W. E. Williams, Grand street
commission merchant, 20 car loads of
sugar. These losses are covered by in—
surance, placed mostly with W. G. Mc-
Candless & Co.. of this city.
The old brick houses along Penn ave—
nue, from Twelfth to Thirteenth street,
taught from the rear and burned rap-
Idly. A company of firemen was throw-
Ing a. stream into the great storage
house from a. narrow courtyard in the
rear of Penn avenue, from which a nar-
row alley led to the street. About 1.30
a heavy explosion occurred, and part
of the heavy wall of the storage house
toppled over on the roofs of the houses
and into the courtyard. The firemen at
work there escaped by the narrowest
211ance. The scene on Pike street was
even more awe-inspiring. '
Following the first big explosion the
warehouse of Hoevcler & Co. caught
fire. and this was followed by the fall-
ing in of the walls of the building of
1he Chautauqua Lake Ice Company. As
the wall fell Chief Humphrey shouted
a warning to the men of No. 12 Engine
Company, and they had just time to
get away from the spot, one fireman
being struck by a falling brick.
Through the Hoeveler IVarehouse the
llames swept like a dust cloud before
:he wind. The building, though new.
was of ordinary construction, and con-
:ained 600 barrels of whisky. One after
mother the barrels exploded, throwing
blazing beams and rafters, masses of
atone and brick into the air, and scat—
tering the firemen, police and specta-
tors.
The fire began at 8 o’clock ‘Wednes—
day night in the fourth floor of the
Union Storage Company’s building, on
Pike street, near Thirteenth. The
building was six stories high and was
occupied by the Chautauqua Lake Ice
Company and the merchandise and of-
fices of the Union Storage Company.
The firemen found themselves shut
out from the fire by iron shutters.
l‘hey could not attack the building from
within because of the dense mioke.
They had been working for about three
hours when a terrific explosion took
place. The walls of the burning build-
ing fell outward, burying many who
were within the fire lines.
The first explosion occurred when the
fire reached 2,000 barrels of whisky in
the storehouse. The report could be
heard two miles away. Smaller explo-
sions occurred at frequent intervals
after the first, caused, probably, by the
ammonia tanks in the ice plant. Fol-
lowing the last explosion, the flames
leaped across Penn avenue, and, in five
minutes, several buildings there were
a burning mass.
The explosions were caused by the
bursting of the 18,13, we tanks filled with
ammonia used in the manufacture of
ice. W. C Burt, a prominent insur-
ance man. places the total loss at close
to $2,000,000. The cause of the fire is
unknown. '

GERMANY MAKES EXPLANATION.
An Official Statement as 'to the Threat-
ened Exclusion of Horses.
Washington, Feb. 11.—The following
statement was made yesterday to the
Secretary of State by the German Am-
bassador:
“Certain declarations of the Royal
Prussian Minister of Agriculture have
evidently been distorted. The Min-
ister answered to an inquiry made to
him in the Prussian Diet that we had
to wait if any evidence might be fur-
niShed of veterinary dangers from the
Importation of American horses. Only
then in case such dangers should have
been proved would there be reason to
take energetic measures, or impose a
quarantine, as fas as we are entitled
to do so."
This explanation was called forth by
the cabled statement that the *Prussian
Minister of Agriculture had said that
American horses infected with influ-
enza. were being imported. and it might
become necessary to forbid the further
importation of horses.

LUETGERT'S LIFE SAVED

Conviction of the Sausage lllnkci, 11 no 31
Sentenced to Life Imprisonment.
Chicago, Feb. 10.—The jury in
case of Adolph L. Luetgert, chargu.
with murdering his wife and disposing
of her body in a vat last May, returned
a verdict last night of guilty, and the
prisoner was sentenced to prison f5.-

c.l..
The second trial of the sausagcmak—
er was begun on December 30 last, so
thirty-five days have been consumed in
adducing the evidence in this most re—
markable murder trial this country has
known in years. Three jurors saved
Luetgert from the gallows in the first
trial. The other nine men who had
heard the evidence were firm in their
belief that Mrs. Luetgert had met death
at her husband’s hands in the grow-
some sausage factory. For thirty—eight
hours the jury deliberated ,anrl then
announced that no verdict could be
reached. This was after a trial that
had continued for fifty—one days, from
August 23 to October 21 last.
The crime with which Adolph Luet—
gert is charged is wanton and brutal.
The prosecution claimed that he lured
his wife to the sausage factory under
cover of night, and there slew her.
feeling sure of being able to dispose of
the bloody body in one of his many
sausage vats.
Mrs. Luetgert’s rings, one her wed-
ding ring, with “L. I.” engraved within
it, were found in the vat, thereby lead-
ing to the sausagemaker‘s arrest.
‘ MARTIN JURORS THREATENED.’
Instructed by Court to Hand Over Anony-
mous Letters to the District Attorney.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Feb. 10,.—-W‘hen
court opened yesterday morning for the
trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies,
Judge Woodward spoke to the jurors
about receiving letters bearing upon the
trial. He said: “If you receive any let-
ters with refernce to the trial, whether
anonymous or signed, it is your duty
to hand them over to the District At-
torney, and you rriust not allow them
-to make any impression upon your
mind”. .
The first witness called was John
Yourshekowicz, [one of the Harwood
strikers. He said that they decided not
to carry anything having the semblance
of weapons, and to behave quietly and
peaceably. At West Hazleton, he said,
they met the Sheriff and the deputies,
who pushed them around with guns
and hit several of them.
“At Lattimer the Sheriff stopped
them, hit two men in the front rank
and tried to shoot his revolver. It
snapped twice and then exploded. Im-
mediately there was a volley of shots
from the deputies, and many of the
strikers fell.
“A bullet passed through my hat.”
the witness continued, “and then I fell
and lay down until there was no more
shooting; then I ran away. I ran all
the way to Hazleton, because I was
afraid of being shot.”
The witness described the wounds he
had seen on the bodies that littered the
road after the firing. One body was
pierced by a. bullet that had entered
near the spine and passed out through
the pit of the stomach. John shivered
as he thought of the horrid sights.
The witness said under cross-examin-
ation by John T. Lenahan, that the
Harwood miners had been induced to
strike by men from McAdoo. He did
not know that the Harwood men had
been to Lattimer a few days earlier. -
John’s idea about what was to be done
at Lattimer was that the men working
there would be called out and'the rea—
sons for striking explained. He thought ‘
that if they had not been stopped by
the Sheriff a. committee would have en-
tered the breaker and called out the
mine-rs to ban the arguments on the
public roads. There were 500 of the
crow d 1’11 111 Haiti cod. Everybody had
v'xish'cd to go.
Stephen Juskc, a Maygar, testified
that he had gone with the strikers to
West 11:1 :zleton. He said one of the den—
11ties struck him with a rifle, though he
had given no provocation. He 1122?. no
weapon of any kind. He was seized
after. he had fallen and hurritl to jail,
Inheie he 11' as field Without any exam—
' ination. The follow mg day he was tak-
en to a hospital, where he remained for
a week.
Michael Popso, who is able to speak
English, was questioned about the Lat-
timer affair. His fi rst knowledge of any
difficulty was when he heard shots
fired. A man in front of him was shot
through the body. Popso turned and
ran away up the side of a hill beyond
the road. He had seen the deputies
with their guns levelled firing into the
crowd.
“711011 the Court adjourned Sheriff
Martin gave the first explanation for
the shooting at the men from a. dis—
tance. He said that after the miners
fled they attempted to reform as a
body and that he had no doubt some
of the deputies did use the language
attribtued to one of the deputies, that
if the strikers desired to come up
against the cold lead they’d “get fixed.”
He didn't appear to be shocked at the
conduct or language of the deputies,
but rather was he astonished that the
panic-stricken men did not march to-
ward the sharpshooters and die in their
tracks.
There is a probability-of the prosecu-
tion’s evidence lasting only a few days
more instead of a week or two, as has
been expected. for there are yet over
a hunderd witnesses to be examined.
These witnesses are all brought from
Hazleton and are kept here at the ex-
pense of the prosecuting committee.
for they are all too poor to pay a day
and mileage does not pay for the main-
