:41 N0 ULTIMATUM T0 SPAIN. Duke of Tetuan's Version of His Inter- view With General Woodford. Madrid, Sept. 23.—The people of Spain, persist in talking of General Wood- ford’s alleged ultimatum to the Spanish government and assume that a war with the United States is inevitable. This talk is groundless, however, and is traceable to public nervousness in the face of Spain's increasing political trou- bles. ' ’ The cabinet has been shaken to a critical point by the incident of Senor Reverter’s excommunication by the bishop of Palma and his subsequent resignation from the ministry, and the ministers are also in a state of anxiety as to thelattitude of the Carlists. The attitude of the government to- ward the United States is pacific, how- ever, as is shown by the version of his interview with General Woodford given by the Duke of Tetuan, minister of for- eign affairs, in which he says: ‘ “There is no desire for hostilities, and that is the policy of both governments. General Woodford and I were unable to speak each other’ s language, and much time was lost in translating, so the interview was not as long as it ap- pears to have been. The whole conver- sation was characterized by the great- est courtesy and amiability. In my opinion it was very satisfactory. “My instluctions are to hold myselfi. in readiness to confer with General Woodford whenever he desires a con- ference.” General VVoodford’s version of the in— terview is practically the same as that of the Duke of Tetuan. THE THORN-NAOK CASE. District Attorney Youngs’ Lack of Faith In the Recent Developments. New York, Sept. 23,—Some employees of the Murray Hill baths called on Dis- trict Attorney Youngs at Long Island - City today and examined the hat which was fished out of the pool of water at Woodside and thought by some to have belonged to William Guldensuppe, who is supposed to have been murdered in the house at Woodside. Guldensuppe Was up to the time of his disappearance employed in the Murray Hill baths as a rubber. The ha-t contained a hole which was thought might have been made by a bullet. The men said, after examin- ing the hat, that it had not belonged to Guldensuppe. .District Attorney Youngs made this statement: "That hat found has abso- lutely nothing to do with the Gul‘den- suppe case. In fact, all of the articles raked out of the Woodside pond are en- tirely valueless, so far as connecting Thorn and Mrs. Nack with this case. There have been no develOpments in the last day or 'two, nor do I expect any.- We are going on preparing for the pros- . ecution of Thom and Mrs. Nack with the firm belief that we1have sufficient evidence to convict them." Mr. Youngs declined to say what he would do as to the indictment against Mrs. Nack in’ case Thorn was not 0031- victed. Many Lives Lost In Japanese Typhoon. Victoria, B. 0., Sept. 23.—Passengers Who left Yokohama the day after the typhoon state that the damage done was even greater than previously re- ported.

Halfield died from typhoid fever caused by drinking water from an unused well near Rye Beach. Three others are very ill from the same cause, and Miss Mary Carpenter, daughter of O. H.

Madrid, Sept. 23.——The supreme court has annulled the sentence of 40 years’ imprisonment imposed upon Barril, the supposed anarchist who on Sept. 3, at Barcelona, attempted to assassinate Chief of. Police Portus and Assistant Chief Teixidor as they were leaving the circus. This action is taken on the ground that it has not been proved that Barril is an anarchist. End of the Coal Strike. Pittsburg, Sept. 23.——The bituminous coal miners’ strike is officially at an end. The ten days during which it was agreed that the miners should remain idle expired today, and the 150,000 men who had been idle for 11 weeks will re- sume work at an advance of 20 per - cent.

London, Sept. 23.——It is learned that no further advance" will be made at present by the Anglo-Egyptian expe- dition up the Nile. It is recognized that an attack upon Khartum would neces- sitate a strong backing of British troops, ‘and, owing to the troubles in India, the war office cannot send such a force to Egypt for some time to come. E“ Minister Reverter’s Resignation. Madrid, Sept. 23.——The cabinet will meet at once to receive the resignation of Senor Reverter, the Spanish ministei of finance, as the queen regent has re- fused to sign his decrees since he was excommunicated by the bishop of Ma.- ‘jorca for, it is claimed, taking posses sion of the treasury of a church in the bishop’s diocese. ' A Veteran Ends His Life.

Breslau, Silesia, Sept. 23.—Emperor William of Germany arrived here at 1 o’clock from Budapest. His majesty was met at the railroad depot by the empress, the Duke of ’Saxe-Meiningen and Prince Hatzfeldt. Their majesties Were warmly cheered. , THE CONWAY KIDNAPBRS. The Two Men Sentenced to Practically the Limit of the Law. Albany, Sept. 23.——All that remains to expiate to the limit of the law the crime of kidnaping littleJohn Conway is the capture and conviction of Albert S. Warner, the New York lawyer who abetted the commission of the crime. Joseph M. Hardy and Henry G. Blake, his colleagues, pleaded guilty to the charge when they were arraigned in the county court today and were sentenced to hard labor in Dannemora prison for 14 years and 4 months. The maximum sentence allowed by law is 15 years, and the eight months was given the men in order that the expira- tion of their sentences will come dur- ing the summer months. The scenes in the courtroom at the culmination of this famous case were devoid of ex- citement. The room was filled with lawyers and jurymen, and the intensity of the silence of the crowd during the arraignment was the only interesting feature. The criminals walked to the bar unshackled and answered the usu- al questions with littleor no nervous- ness. P. C. Dugan, who was assigned as :ounsel to Hardy, told the court that he had advised his client to plead guilty because he truthfully was guilty, and it was unnecessary to put the county to the expense of a lengthy trial. District Attorlney Burlingame, for the information of the court in that there was no trial, reviewed the history of the kid‘naping in accordance with a confession made by Blake, which was giv'enout later and is very minute in detail. It agrees absolutely with .the facts of the kidnaping as outlined in the dispatches sent out at the time the crime was committed. 'I‘he admonition of County Judge Gregory to the crim- inals in paying sentence was brief, but bitter. He styled the crime as being “fiendish, nefarious and diabolical," and said that he would only too will- ingly give the men the limit of the law, but that it was the custom of the court to. always sentence criminals so that their terms would expire during the summer. The men received their sen- tence with stoical expressions on their faces and walked firmly from the court- room attended only by Sheriff Thayer. They were sent to Dannemora a few hours later. An Export Duty on Gold. Washington, Sept. 23.—The owners of gold mines in Nicaragua are worried over a decree published on Aug. 15, and taking effect immediately, establishing an export duty of -$1 per ounce on gold ingots and $2 per ounce on gold dust. The information comes to the state de- partment from Consular Agent Clancy at Bluefields. He says the old duty was 35.44 cents per ounce on gold. Burned by a Mob. Galena, Kan” Sept. 23. —The notorious Stafieback House was. burned by a mob, and every vestige of the old structure was destroy ed. No fire alaim was turn~ ed in until the building was nearly con— sumed, and then no efforts were made by the file department to extinguish the flames. The search for. the remains of the Stafieback family victims still goes on. John L. and Quincy. Boston, Sept. 23.——-No nomination pa- per has yet been obtained in behalf of John L. Sullivan’s candidacy, because the election commissioners have not prepared any‘for the city election. Sul- livan authorizes the statement that he will not be a candidate for mayor un- less Quincy is a candidate, and to him it looks as if Quincy, would withdraw. The Strike In Illinois. Springfield, Ills.,.Sept. 23.—-The scale agreed upon by the joint conference of miners and operators was finally adopt- ed by all except the northern Illinois operators. TIRES THAT LEAK. The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as a. distinct improvement in bicycle tire construction. It has the following ad- vantages: While punctures in it can be re- paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in- jections, as well as ' in any, othe! single-tube tire, it can be permanent!) repaired by using the quick-repaii strip inside the tire. See out No. 1 By injecting M. & W. quick-repair cement through the puncture, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb. as in out No. 2, the repaii No.2 strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus closing- the puncture, as in out No. 3. The Morgan 8: Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This 13 on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a sieve.” Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. . Everybody knows how comfortable , Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncturer This is due to the fabric. Ask any bicycle dealer whether other tires last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. I Morgan & Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the Morgan & Wright free repair shops. located in the principal cities. N. B.——-When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a. tire flat, when . it has a tack or nail in it, may lamage it considerably. The Beauty of Health. a . Health is what makes awoman ‘. beautiful.
