BRET. DB WITT TALMAGB HURT.
Platform From Which the thed Divine
Was Lecturing Collapsed.
Middletown, 0., July 31.——While Rev.
Dr. T. De Witt Talmage was addressing
an immense throng of people at the
Miami valley Chautauquathis 'after-
noon, the platform upon which he was
speaking and, which was filled with lis—
teners gave way. Many people fell with
it.» The attending physicians announced
at first that Dr. Talmage's right leg had
beenbroken. This proved not to be the
case, however, although he was spri-
ously injured. , ‘
After the giving way of the platform
a. panic ensued. Women screamed; men
: lost their heads, and in the stampede
some of the best known people of this
city were injured.
Dr. Talmage had about concluded his
lecture before the accident occurred.
He was driven hastily to the railroad
and is now in Cincinnati.
In an interview he said hethought he
would be able to lecture again in a short
time. ‘
PLOODS SUBSIDING.
Enormous Damage Done and Foundations
of Many Buildings \Veakened.
Elizabeth, N. J., July.31.——The clear-
_ ing up of the wreckage in Stores on
Broad street caused by the flood of
. Wednesday night is rapidly progressing.
The loss to stock and buildings is great-
er than at first estimated. The water
in the Elizabeth river has subsided, and
nearly all the cellars in the city have
been pumped out. The board of health
has begun to distribute disinfectants
about the flooded districts. The damage
to the foundations of the buildings is
extensive. The board of health will ask
the city council on Monday night to ap-
point a. buildings inspector to condemn
a number of buildings which are liable
to fall because of weakened foundations.
Rahway, N. J., July 30.——The flood in
the Rahway river is slowly subsiding
and unless there is another rainfall all
danger of further damage is over.
Since last evening the water has fallen
"eight feet, and the river is now within
its banks. Street Commissioner Stell
has a large force of men at work repair-
ing the streets where they were washed
out by .the swift current on Wednesday
night, and the freeholders have had a
temporary bridge built to replace the
one carried away on New Brunswick
avenue. .
Citizens residing in the districts that
were submerged are tearing up carpets
which were ruined or badly damaged
and are striving to get order out of
chaos. 0n the meadows below the city,
left by the receding waters, are many-
outbuildings ...nd boats which were
broken from their moorings. It will re-
quire, many days of sunshine to dry out
cellars and repa. r damage. Only twice
before in its history has Rahway ex-
perienced such a flood. It was not .only
the rising of the river that caused the
damage, but also the backing up of the
water in the sewers and sewer basins.

SPAIN oooooovo Woo
It is Her Only Hope to Prevent tht
. Monarchy’s Overthrow.
PREMIER CASTILLO’S PLANS.
_He Will Court 3 Conflict With the United
States as Soon as Minister Wood-
ford Presents His Demands on
the Cuban Question.
London, Aug. 2.—A Spanish diplo-
matist, who is in close touch with Senor
Canovas del Castillo, the Spanish pre-
mier, informs your correspondent that
it is useless longer to attempt to dis-
guise the fact that the Spanish ministry
is in a very tight place. He says:
“'We can keep up the war in Cuba
only so long as our funds last, and the
day when they will fail is almost in
sight. When it comes We must give up
the struggle. Now we are too proud 2
race to do so at anybody’s demand, but
We can do so by pleading force majeure
in a war with the United States. Such
a result naturally would be very un-
pleasant to us, but in order to prevent
a revolution in Spain and the over-
throw of the monarchy, war is the only
way* out.
“The premier knows from President
McKinley direct that the president per-
sonally does not want war and wishes
to save us from the cost and the blood-
shed. But his cabinet only partly share
his views. while the senate, the house
of representatives, the American press
and the people of the United States
favor a. settlement With big guns.
“President McKinley, however, while
first for peace, has declared himself as
not shrinking from war if peace meas—
ures fail. This is the position and nat-
urally lends strength to the independ-
ent course which General Woodford‘will
pursue. His instructions will be at the
outset to attempt to obtain for Cuba
peaceful means of Cuban independence.
He is destined to be defeated in this
proposal the moment it is made, for
Spain would infinitely prefer war with
or without the encouragement of other
nations, to any surrender on the Cuban
question. This is the fact, and the pre-
mier sees no other way out of the pres-
ent impasse in Spanish politics. He will
court war the moment the United
States becomes imperative in its de-
mands. The wave of great emotion and
patriotism such as war would call out
in Spain would naturally sink all
threatening domestic questions and dis-
turbances. The Carlists, Republicans
and all others would unite for the na-
tion as they could be united by nothing
else, and when defeated, if Spain should
be defeated, Cuba could be surrendered
without imperilling all present political
and monarchical institutions.”
CUBAN PATRIOTS course.
An Apparently Important Meeting Which
Is Surrounded by Mystery.
Philadelphia, Aug. 2.—Gonzales de
Quesada, Cuban charge d’affaires at
Washington, and General Emilio
Nunez, chief of the department of ex—
peditions of the junta in this city, held
an important conference yesterday at
the home of General Nunez in this city.
The utmost secrecy surrounded the
meeting between the Cuban leaders,
and each refused positively to give the
slightest intimation as to the questions
under consideration. General Nunez
came home from Key West to attend
the conference. Immediately after the
consultation Senor Quesada left for At-
lantic City, ostensibly to confer with a
United States senator, whose name
would not be disclosed.
Prior to Quesada’s departure he made
public for the first time a letter from a
native Cuban residing in Madrid who
occupied a prominent position in Span-
ish politics. In the letter it was stated
that the Spanish people are tired of
sending money and men to Cuba and
that the soldiers are filled with bitter-
ness and resentment for their treatment
in Cuba.
Arms For Cuba.
Wilmington, N. 0., Aug. 2.——It is re-
ported herc that a cargo of arms and
ammunition for the Cuban insurgents
was transferred from a small sailing
vessel to a steamer, both unknown, off
Topsail island, some 15 or 20 miles from
Wilmington, Wednesday night, the 28th
inst. Nothing further could be learned
here about the matter.
Merciful Weyler.
Madrid, Aug. 2.-—.Captain General
VVeyler has telegraphed the govern—
ment from Havana that he has decided
to grant amnesty to 1,500 exiles, in-
cluding Dr. Montalvo.
.For a Sealing Conference.-
London July ,31.—T'he British foreign
office notified Embassador Hay today
that Great Britainaccepts the proposal
of the United States for an interna-
tional conference'on the question of.
pelagic sealing in the Bering sea, to be
held in Washington during the coming
autumn.
Rich Discovery of Copper.
Houghtnn, Mich., July 31.—F-ive drill
holes blasted in Six Mile hill shaft broke
seven tons of ground, over one ton of
which was native copper. This is by
far the richest strike of copper ever
made and hascaused great excitement
throughout the Lake Superior mining
district.
Dried mm Combination.
San Francisco, July 31.—It is reported
here that the. fruit growers of the coun-
try are about to form a combination to
raise the price of this season’s product
of dried fruits in order ‘to create a, de- '
mand for the old crop until that is ex-
hausted.
Fire on the Wilmington.
Jacksonville, Fla, July 31.—A fire
started in the coal bunkers of the United
States steamship Wilmington, in the aft
starboard locker, several days after the
vessel had left Savannah for this port.
It was, however, extinguished as soon
as discovered and w‘as‘co‘nsidered of
small importance, as no damage was
done. -
