New York, Oct. 16.—The Herald has come into possession of important facts which lay bare the diplomatic relations between this country and Spain with reference to Cuba. They also explain the real situation in Spain—why there was a. change of Minjstry and what the policy of the new Cabinet will be to- ward this country and in'the prosecu- tion of the war in the colonies. The exact nature of Minister Wood- ford’s instructions from President Mc- Kinley to the Spanish Queen has never been published, and it should be un- derstood in order that the real charac- ter of the situation in Spain may be ap- preciated. The real essence of this message is embodied in the statement that, however anxious the President might be to maintain kindly relations between the United States and Spain, he cannot regulate the actions of»\Con- gress, which seems bound to take‘defi- nite steps at its next session to settle the controversy over Cuba, in one way or another. By this he apparently means that the jingoism that characterized the last session of Congress will break out more violently than ever, and the situation will be beyond his control. The in- structions to Minister Woodford wer substantially as follows: * None but the most kindly relations exist between the present Administra- tion and Spain, and so far as lies in the power of the Administration they will continue. The belligerency resolu— tions which passed the Senate at the last session of Congress merely bore evidence of the tremendous popular feeling throughout the country in favor of Cuba. The House, to be sure, voted down the resolutions passed by the Senate, but this was with a view to postponing the issue and not doing anything for the moment that could be construed as hostile to Spain. The House, like the Senate, is strongly in sympathy with Cuba. This feeling of sympathy throughout the Enited States will undoubtedly take shape as soon as Congress convenes, and it will be nec- essary for the President to communi- cate to Congress such recommendations as he deems best to make in regard to Cuban affairs. - Under these circumstances the Gov- ernment of the United States tenders its best offices to mediate between Spain and Cuba, and it» offers to medi- ate so as to bring war to an end on such terms as will be honorable to both parties.» This Government expresses the hope that Spain will reply by the end of October, so as to give the President a. chance to report to Congress by the time it convenes. , The information that has reached New York by way of banking circles, and Washington through diplomatic connections, is that the Queen and Pre— mier Sagasta, while their policy at first will be to delay matters so as to satisfy public sentiment in Spain, intend to yield as gracefully as possible consist- ent with Spanish pride and honor, and grant Cuba virtually all that she asks. This course will not be from choice, according to the information received in New York, but because there is no , other way out of it. It may.come after ' pressure has been brought to bear either from the President or from Con- } gress, but nothing short of a miracle ‘ can prevent it. . Senor Sagasta has promised President McKinley an answer by Oct. 25, and the President will then frame his message to Congress accordingly. It is not un- likely that the President will convey another message to Spain in the mean- time, or that he will take steps recog- nizing the belligerency of Cuba. , As heretofore mentioned in the Her- ald, the President is understood to be partial to the granting of freedom to Cuba, upon the payment of an indem- nity of say $150,000,000, as partial rec» ompense to Spain for the surrender of sovereignty and the millions that. she has lost in the rebellion. The President is of the opinion that this indemnity can be paid in Cuban bonds, to be secured by customs reve- nues, the collection of which shall be supervised and be applied by represen- tatives of the United States. He is hoping that the initiative will come from Spain, who, when she sees that she cannot burden herSe.f with any more bond issues for carrying on the war in Cuba, may invite the United States to participate in a settlement. New lilondike Found. Tacoma. Wash, bet. 16.——J0hn Spur- geon and Robert Henning, of (‘Encina nati, bring news that they haw:- dis- covered another Klondike in the east 'side of the Rocky Mountains, about opposite the Klondike region.

Pittsburg, Oct. 16.-—Peter Maher, ”the Irish pugilist, has sent out, through his manager Buck Connelly, the follow- ing challenge: “I challenge James J. Corbett to a contest for the pugilistic championship of the world. The challengeis issued because Fitzsimmons has declared that ‘ he has retired from the ring and has left the title to be fought for by those who want it. As We cannot doubt the intentions of Fitzsimmons this chal- lenge is made direct to Corbett, as the man who has definitely offered to fight Fitzsimmons for the title." Pleuded Guilty to Manslaughter.

C., Oct. 16.—The Yukon. expedition of Pierre Humbert,& Co., of Boston, started from here for the Klon~ dike yesterday. Col. Aberger and'E. E. Russell, of San Francisco, are taking fifty men, 250 horses and 150 cattle and ten trains of dogs, with upward of one hundred tons of provisions to Pyramid Harbor, over the Dalton trail, and thence toward the Macmillan River, where the establishment of a central post for mining and trading purposes is contemplated. “On arrival at Fort Selkirk,” said General Manager James Smith, who is in charge of the expedition, “if I find that the reports true of actual starva- tion at Dawson I am instructed to force my way down the river with all the supplies at any cost. To quote the lan- guage of Pierre Humboldt, Jr., the head and front of the enterprise, “no lived shall be lost by famine as long as Bos- ton has a pound of flour or a dollar of money left. The ultimate object is not only to establish a great mining and supply depot, but it comprehends also the construction of a railway and tel- egraph line into the Yukon, and as an earnest of the company’s intention in this direction another and independent expedition will take the field immedi- ately. The main expedition, it is in- tended, shall be followed up every sixty days by similar expeditions, con- tinually increasing in size, until every- thing is accomplished. The expedition now in hand will travel comparatively light, with 250 horses, carefully se- lected, well shod, and in admirable con— dition. We also have 150 head of cat- tle, well fed and 11': good condition. These, on our arrival at Dawson, will be converted into beef, and will aug- ment the general food supply. Six to seven trains of dogs, carpenters, black- smiths and other skilled labor are to be in our expedition.” FOUR KILLED IN A MINE. Explosion of Gas in n Colliery in Results Fatally. Reading, Pa., Oct. 16.—A terrific ex- plosion of mine gas took place in the. East Northdale gangway of Kslska William colliery, Schuylkill County, yesterday. Men and mules were hurled to the ground. Four men were killed at once and three were burned badly. They were also thrown against the hard sides of the gangway. The killed are Patrick Sweeney, aged 45; John Boner, 27; Anthony Wright, 31; Charles Miknis, 24. The injured are Peter Paul. Patrick Doyle and William Rice. Su'ee» ney’s death was caused by a broken neck, having plunged eighty feet down the chute in order to escape the gas. The dead miners were found in the heading where the explosion occurred. This colliery has always been noted for the development of gas. Great excite ment prevailed at the mouth of the shaft when the dead and injured were brought up. Mine Inspector McGuire arrived here and is now investigating the matter. It is .supposed that one of the men accidentally ignited a body of gas with his naked lamp. The concus- sion was terrific. MYSTERY OF A POSTAL PACKAGE. Contained $14,000 and Is Traced to Council Bluiis. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 16.—The registered postal package containing $14,000, which was missed on Tuesday, has been traced 'to Council Bluffs. It disap- peared either at the transfer depot in Council Bluffs, or very soon after leav- ing there. The package was placed in the register pouch at Chicago for 3. Salt Lake bank, and reached Council Bluffs on Thursday afternoon of last week on the Burlington fast mail. The pouch was in the especial care of Pos- Lost. .tal Agent Thomas Pheney. He delivered it to the postal clerk on the Union Pacific, G. H. B. Brill. For some reason that has not yet been ex- plained this postal clerk neglected to .enter the number and usual descrip- tive marks of the pouch on his book, and he has nothing to show that it ever came into his possession. The pos- tal authorities think that a. sneak thief got the package. Football Season Opens. New York, Oct. 16.—The first really important football games of the season will be played to-day. Princeton will meet the Carlisle Indians at Old Nas- sau’s field, Harvard will tackle the West Point cadets at West Point, and Lafayette will play Cornell at Easton, Pa. All of these contests will afford lines upon which to estimate the strength of the big elevens. There is already an unusual demand for tickets for the Harvard-Yale game, to be played at Cambridge on Nov. 13. Manager Twitchell. of Yale, says that there will probably be seating aCCom- modations for more than twenty thou- sand, L-‘md that the tickets will be dis— tributed by the usual allotment system. John L. Sullivan in Trouble. New York, Oct. lit—John L. Sullivan, the ex—pu‘gilist, actor, orator and poli- tician, is likely to make a much longer stay in Providence than he bargained for when he brought his theatrical company to that town. Three writs, aggregating $9,600, have been served upon him during the past few days. The first was for $5,000 dam- ages for an assault committed upon his manager, F. V. Dunn, and the second for $2,000 for alleged debt to Dunn. These were followed by another writ of $2,000 for alleged trover and conversion. Sullivan managed to secure bail after a. short sojourn in jail. Maher Challenges Corbett. Pittsburg, Pa.., Oct. 16.—M. J. Con- nelly, on behalf of Peter Maher, last night issued a challenge to James J. Corbett to fight for the heavy—weight championship of the world and a side bet of $5,000, to take place before the club offering the largest purse. If Corbett does not accept the chal- lenge it is open to any man in the world. Freshman Outwit the Sophomores.
