AND. “THE BUTCHER” GAVE IN He Wanted to Take a 1\Ian Off the VigiJ lancia and Threatened to Sink Her it She Sailed, but She Left Port 'on Time Nevertheless. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21,—The Times- Democrat today printed a sensational story from its Key West correspondent to the effect that war with Spain was narrowly averted at Havana on Friday last. The Spaniards attempted to hold an American vessel, the Vigilancia, the master of which was told that if he set sail the vessel would be fired upon by the guns from Morro castle. The story is as follows: If the Spanish authorities had taken Senor Angel Fernandez from the Ward line steamer Vigilancia while that vessel was in Havana harbor last Friday, United States warships would have immediately been ordered to Havana to enforce a de- mand for reparation, and war between this country and Spain would have un- doubtedly resulted. " . For three hours last Friday the United States and Spain were on the brink of war, and the threatening situation was only relieved when the Spanish authorities ignominicusly backed doWn and allowed the Vigilancia to proceed to sea with Fer- nandez still on board. A letter received here from a corre- spondent in Havana who is close to Con- sul General Lee gives a dramatic account of the episode. According to the letter, when the Vigilancia put into Havana the Spanish authorities demanded the surren- der of Senor Angel Fernandez, a Mexican, who was on board that vessel. The Span- iards allege that Fernandez is not a Mexican, but a subject of Spain. Captain John McIntosh of the Vigilan- cia refused to surrender Fernandez. Then the Spanish authorities told McIntosh that if the Vigilancla attempted to go to sea with Fernandez on board she would be sunk by the guns of Metro castle. Captain McIntosh immediately laid the matter before Consul Gbneral Lee, who complimented the captain on his bravery and told him to take the Vigilancia to sea when he pleased. Consul General Lee was greatly enraged at the threat to sink the Vigilanoia and is reported to have said to Captain McIntosh: “If the guns of Morro castle sink your ship, American warships will be bombard- ing Havana in a few days.” W'eyler's Backdown. Captain McIntosh returned to the Vigi- lancia, and Consul Lee informed General Weyler that the vessel was going to sea and that if any attempt was made to take ofl Fernandez, or that if the tassel was fired upon, Spain must take the conse- quences. Weyler immediately summoned a cabinet council, and while this council was considering the matter the Vigilancia began to Weigh anchor. The Spanish officials on board protested, but Captain McIntosh said in vigorous language, the letter states: “——- .your objections! My ship has been cleared. My consul has told me to gO to sea. I am going, and I dare you to try to prevent me. Get off my ship!” And with that the Yankee roughly shoved the Spaniards into the waiting boats, and the Vigilanoia, flying the stars and stripes, started for the month of the harbor which is commanded by the guns of Morro castle. All was excitement in Havana, and the quay and house tops were lined with hundreds of persons who expected to see the Vigilancia fired upon. Consul Lee himself watched the Vigi- lancia through a glass. Meanwhile sig- nals were being exchanged between Wey- ler’s palace and Morro castle, and in the latter place there were signs of great ex- citement. Slowly the Vigilancla entered the mouth of the harbor, and then it was noticed that the guns of the castle were turned on the ship. The Vigilancia repeatedly signaled Morro castle “I am going to sea," but no answer came from the fort until the ves- sel was in blue water, and then the Span- iards ran up the signal which means “Goodby.” , It is said that Weyler is furious over the departure of the vessel‘ and Consul Lee’s course. It is stated that Weyler ordered the commander of Morro to sink the Vigi- lancia, but at the last moment he yielded to the entreaties of his cabinet and coun- termanded the order. The episode caused more excitement in Havana than anything since the beginning of the war. Mexico and Intervention. CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 21.——-E1 Mundc has an article on the proposed intervention of Mexico and the United States in the conflict between Spain and Cuba, which says in substance that Mexico regards the United States as a firm and loyal friend . with whom social and commercial relations are growing daily more intimate, and if the United States should suggest Officially to Mexico the de- sirability of joint intervention President Diaz would accept with pleasure, being certain of the moral support of all the Latin-American republics. Mexico, howevencould only accept the part Of a joint pacificptor in case the Span- ish nation should insist in carrying on war in her sovereign right to the bitter end, or the Cuban people, fighting desper- ately for liberty, should not show distrust. In other words, both parties to the conflict should accept intervention. - Nobody here knows how the sympathies of General Dias . are in this great conflict, as he has observed a most decorous silence. He has a profound sympathy for Spain and at the same time recalls his struggle for the liberty of his own people. The Mexican people would gladly see the name of Mexico figure in universal history as alleviating the sufferings of the Cubans, but would refuse to enter into diplomatic conflicts likely to bring about interaction- al complications in the future. The article evidently reflects very cau- tiously the views of the administration and is regarded here as significant. Popu- lar sympathy is strong on the Cuban side, but will refuse to be moved by emotional considerations. French Bourse Troubled. LONDON, Oct. 2i.—The Daily Telef graph’s financial article expresses the be- lief that the Bank of France has manifests ed a willingness to sell gold largely rather than allow the London market to be so disturbed as to react seriously on Paris. The article says it is probable that this consideration prevailed with the Bank of England not to raise the rate of discount. CASTLES COMMITTED. The Wealthy Californians Will Have to Stand Trial In London. ‘ ___, _ BAIL 0F $150,000 REMAINS. The Proceedings In the Marlborough Street Police Court—Strong Evidence Against Mrs. Castle—The Story of a. Saleswoman. LONDON, Oct. 21.—-Mr.»and Mrs. Walter 3!. Castle of San Francisco were brought up on remand at Marlborough Street police court today, charged with the theft of va- rious articles from London stores, and were committed for trial at the next ses- sions. Both the accused pleadeénot guilty and were released on the samewail, $150,- 000, as on last Tuesday. As soon as the ordinary police cases were disposed of today the courtroom was clear- ed of the throng which had been interested in them and was almost immediately aft- , erward refilled by an overflowing gather- K ing of storekeepers and other persons. All the bondsmen of the Castles were among those present, and A. H. Hodson, repre- senting the United States embassy, was given a seat at the solicitors’ table. The magistrate was Robert Milnes Newton. When Mrs. Castle entered the court with her husband, she seemed more composed than last week, but she no soon; found herself in the prisoners’ dock than she showed symptoms of faintness verging on collapse, which caused a policeman at her side to bring a seat for her and Mr. Castle. During the hearing of the case against her and incidentally against her husband Mrs. Castle frequently moaned piteously. Miss Patty Allwood, a saleswoman in the employ of Gustave Ellis, 3 furrier of Regent street, testified that on Thursday, Oct. 1,‘Mrs. Castle and her son, 10 years old, visited the store. The woman prison- er, the witness said, asked if the concern could make a chinchilla cape and was in- formed that the work could be done. The prisoner showed her two small chinchilla skins- and remarked, “I should like to have these matched.” Continuing, the witness said: “I went to another part of the shop to speak to Mr. Ellis, and on re- : turning the prisoner said that she could not wait any longer, as she wanted to take her son to luncheon and would return in half an hour. But I did not see her again until Oct. 8, when Iwas summoned to the Vine Street police station. There I saw this sable muff, which I identify as the property of Mr. Ellis. I last saw the muff in the shop ten minutes before the prison- er entered. The muff was in a glass case close to where she was standing.” The witness said that the door of the case must have been opened in order to get the muff, and that the door was not properly closed when the prisoner left the shop. Replying to another question, Miss All- wood stated that it was after the female prisoner had left the store that she noticed that the door of the case was not properly closed. All Three Were There. The next witness was Alexander Swert- 291, a furrier of Great Portland street. In substance he testified that on Sept. 30 Mrs. Castle Went to his store alone and asked to see a chinchilla cape. Her son came in later alone, and while Mrs. Castle was in the store she was followed by Mr. Castle. Witness, continuing, said: “I continued talking to Mrs. Castle, while Mr. Castle stood looking at some furs on the right hand side of the show- room. There were fur trimmings and ties near where he was standing. He continued looking at the furs, but I can’t say he touched them. Mr. Castle and the boy left the shop first, and they were followed soon afterward by Mrs. Castle, and I saw no more of them until Oct. 1. Then the wife came during the morning alone, and I showed her some chinchilla skins to be matched. I named £45 as the price of the cape she wanted made. She offered £42, which I declined. The boy then entered and asked her to call somewhere at 4 o’clock. She said she would think over my proposition, and they left the shop sit or she had promised to return. I did not miss anything until Oct. 8, when I went to Vine Street police station and found two ties, one a sable and one a Kalinsky fur, belonging to me and valued at £4 and £151 respectively. They were in the right hand part of the showroom, where Mr. Castle stood.” After similar evidence had been furnish- ed by other furriers the manager of the Hotel Cecil identified the plated toast rack and cream jug, marked “Hotel Ce- cil,” found among the efiects Of the Cas- tles, a detective recounted the incidents which accompanied the arrests of the pris- oners, and the case for the prosecution was closed. After this feature of the case had been formally wound up Mr. Charles Matthews, leading counsel for the Castles and a clever criminal lawyer, asked that the prisoners be committed for trial at the central crim- inal court, but Mr. Newton refused to do so, saying that his instructions were to send all shoplifting cases for - trial at the sessions, and therefore he committed both prisoners for trial, allowing bail in £30,- 000 ($150,000) as before at the Clerkcnwell sessions, which open Nov. 2. The Advance In \Vheat. CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—Western freight men are delighted over the flurry in the wheat market, for the great advance in price will make it easier for them to make advances in carrying charges agreed upon for Nov. 2. When wheat was selling at from 50 to 60 cents, it was almost impos- sible for them to get 20 to 25 cents for hauling it from western states to Chicago. Under the advance, however, shippers will not raise very serious objections. Funeral of Montreal Firemen. MONTREAL, Oct. 21,—Thousands of per- sons, men, women and children, turned out today to do honor to the victims of Friday’s fire. The central station, where the bodies were lying in state, was crowd- ed with people, and hundreds had to be turned away from the Notre Dame cathe- drl, where the requiem mass was hold. A public subscription has been started for the wives and children of the victims. The Alsenborn Floated.

She was, honest, succeeded in keeping a. comfortable home for her children and in educat- ing them. Her ambition was not that they should be honest, energetic work- ing people, but a “lady and a gentle- man.” Emma, the daughter, was sent to a private school, taught superficial ac- complishments, and to play on the piano and to dance. She made her way, through some of her school ac- quaintances into families who would not have recognized the poor washers woman, and wore gaudy clothes and cheap jewelry which her mother slaved to buy for her. She married a salesman in a retail shop, a man weak in body and mind. His scanty salary she wasted on finery for herself and her children, and when he lost his situation a year ago she came back with them to the mother‘whom she had so long declared was too “vul- gar” to acknowledge before the world. Tom, her brother, was a keen-witted young fellow, whose only ambition was to be “swell.” He had a place as copying clerk in a shop on the Bowery, but lost it at the beginning of the hard times two years ago, and remained idle, dependent on his mother. When her employer offered to give him a. situation as a messenger of porter, he haughtily' refused it, as he “had not come into the world to do me- nial work.” Last spring the old washerwoman, worn out at last, fell ill, and Tom found himself starving. He picked a woman’s pocket on a ferryboat, was caught in the act, tried and sentenced to six months’ imprisonment. His de- fence was that he was starving. “You could have sold the expensive clothes you wear, or that scarf pin,” said his lawyer. “No, sir,” Tom replied; “I may be unfortunate, but I shall always dress and behave like a gentleman that I am." There is a sad, if not a shameful fu- ture for the boy or girl who has never learned at home that humble inde- pendence is better than polite shift- lessness. _ . .__,__.—-—,—-—-— ..-,- . .‘ An Interesting‘l’ar'lo‘r Game. A game called “wishes” is played by giving each person who partici- pates a. card or slip of paper, on which he writes three or more wishes and signs his name. The cards are collected and the wishes read aloud by one of the number. The others try to guess, from the character of the wishes, who it was that made them. When this is successfully done, that person is expected to tell why his wishes were made. Among people who know each other well the guess- ing and the discussions that are apt to grow out of the defence of the po- sition taken in wishing for certain things, material or spiritual, are in- teresting.

The Nerve-Shaking Experhnce of a Trav- eler on a Mountpin Pass. Black and brown bear‘ are 'lsingu- larlgy numerous this year in the moun- tains east and west of Clover-dale, and hunting parties are beingeorgan- ized for the purpose of having a little sport in chasing shy and artful bruin' through the mountainous districts where the “berry-hunters” have re- cently been seen. Last week a gentleman named Wag- ner, who was driving from Highland Springs to Pieta, had a very narrow escape from being mashed into smith- ereens, all because of the sudden and unexpected appearance of a bear, which was evidently on its journey towards the coast. Mr. Wagner was fortunately driv- ing a very docile animal, to whose good behavior he attributes his suc- cess in having escaped with his life:- “I had just reached about half way between the springs and Pieta,” said Mr. .Wagner, “when suddenly the horse I Was driving stopped, then reared up on his hind feet and com- menced to snort. To put it mildly ] was in the deuce of a fix because where the trouble commenced the road was narrow, and over my left shoulder I could easily lock 500 feet into a canyon which was awful to be- hold, with its treacherous-looking boulders and jagged rocks which were projecting from the side of the mountain. “In an instant I concluded that my only hope was to get the animal or the move, and I applied the whip briskly to his flanks, as I was appre- hensive lest in case he continued to back the buggy would certainly be forced..off the roadbed, and in that event horse, buggy and driver would, go to perdition. ‘_‘You can rest assured that my heart heat more freely when the horse, obe~ dient to the whip, started on a. run down the road, and it was at least a mile from the spot where the trouble commenced when I got him under subjection. I could not even surmise what on earth caused the animal to act in such a strange manner until I reached Pieta, when I was informed that the horse must have either got the scent of a bear or had seen the animal close at hand. ' “On the following day some of the boys who reside near Pieta got their hounds together and started off“at cirly train on a. bear hunt. They "-. :Ind 21.»: trail of old bruin, and his lion: prints were plainly discernible on the dust of the road, and Within 100 yards of the spot where I had such an unpleasant and unlocked-for ex- poi-ionce. “Old bruin had evidently. made fast tracks from that part of the country. He probably was as frightened as the horse I was driving, and did not re- main over to investigate the cause of the confusion he had created by hav— ing put in such a very unwelcome-"ap- pearance. The hunters returned without having an opportunity of bagging big game. The trail was too old, and the dogs lost it after having followed it a. mile or so in the direc- tion of the coast range.”- A day or two after Mr. ,Wagner had such a close call a sheep herder drove into the town of Cloverdale with a 500-pound black bear Which he had shot on a sheep range about ten miles west of Cloverdale: The brute was purchased by a butcher of the town, and shipped to this city. Possibly it may ifave been the same shaggy tramp which made matters so very unpleasant for Mr. Wagner in his ride from Highland Springs to Pieta.

HOME snonngrs." a Little Light, There Need Be None. \ Do you know that forty per cent. of the children of the whole world have weak kidneys to a greater or less‘ ex- tent? Mothers know it and there is a yery mistaken policy of “saying noth- ing about it.” Sweet, clean, dry beds should be and can-be the resting place by night for our little ones. Some mothers attribute it “to habit.” It is not a habit at all. Why are these chil- dren who have this habit thirsty at bed- time? Let us tell you. Weak Kidneys become somewhat inflamed by the daily activity of the child and demands sOme- thing cooling. The result is the same, whether they drink or not—wet beds. We write our school teachers, asking them to always and quickly permit Fred or Nellie to retire on request; as their kidneys are weak. Let us set‘you right in this matter. Give such chil- dren one Doan’s Kidney Pill twice 1a day, and as sure as you do, their kid- neys quickly strengthen to a full ability, of retention, and sweet rooms and beds, and undisturbed studies at school will be the result. Their weakened kidneys are nearly always the result of some former sickness, and as easily cured as any childish ailment. Doan’s Kidney Pills are pleasant'for children to take, and perfectly harmless. ' ‘ ' An example of the success Of Dosn’s Kidney Pills in this trouble, comes from Meriden, Conn. Mrs. Wm. Wood who lives in that city at No. 130 Colony street says: “My little boy of ten years of age has always been troubled with weakness of the kidneys causing him to wet the bed. 80 many mothers punish their children for this, but I knew he couldn’t help it. I read about Doan’s Kidney Pills curing in- contmuance of urine in adults and thought it might help the little fellow. I procured a box and their use produced a marked benefit at once. It is very seldom he does it now and I' shall con- tinue giving him Dcan’s Kidney Pills until the kidneys are sound and strong. It isonly out of gratitude that I permit publication but the trouble is a very prevalent one and most people from modesty or difiidence do not speak of it. Physicians do not appear to be able to cope with the trouble and I consider it a mother’s duty to tell others about it when she has found a specific for ,this terrible annoyance.
