SPAIN’S SAUCY REPLY \ Our Note Gourtcoiisly But Firmly Rejected in Substance. TO DEAL ALONE: WITH CUBA She Refuses to Fix Any Date for Puciflcution, and \Vill Submit to No Foreign Interference “flint- ever—Spaniards Expecting a Row. Madrid, Oct. 25.—The note prepared by Senor Gullon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply to the note recently presented to the Duke of Tetuan, then Foreign Minister, by Gen. Woodford, the American Minister, declares that Spain has done all‘in her power to end the war in Cuba, proof of which is given in the great sacrifices she has made,'the number'of troops sent to the island, and now the granting of wide reforms, which are fully distributed. It declares that the Government can- .not admit the pretension of any foreign nation to interfere in Spanish affairs, and complains of the number of fili- bustering expeditions to Cuba from the United States, which, it declares, are the chief cause of the continuation of the war. It then proceeds to express the hope that respect for international rights in America will be better en- forced in the future. The note is described as beingrmild in tone, but energetic. In fact, it shows the resolution of the new Government to enforce respect for Spanish rights. Senor Jose Canalejas, a leading mem- ber of the Liberal party and formerly a. Minister in the Spanish Cabinet, sailed for New York from Havre to— day. The purpose of his trip is to visit New York and Washington with the object of studyingsthe popular and governmental feeling ,in regard to Cuba, having done which he will pro- ceed to Cuba to complete his investiga- tions into the Cuban situation. May Try to Search Our Ships. Madrid, Oct. 25,—El Tempo pub- lishes, with reserve, the announcement that the reply 01 the Spanish Govern- ment to the note of the United States presented by Gen. Stewart L. Wood- ,fo'rd, the American Minister at Mad- rid, declares‘that if the United States does not stop the sailing of muster- ing expeditions from American ports Spain will re—establish the right to search Vessels anchoring in Cuban Waters. - .El Liberal thinks a rupture is pos- sible as a result of the negotiations which are about to open between Spain and the United States, and adds: “We Ollght to avoid this rupture, so far as duty and honor permit; but, though the Government should act in a spirit of moderation, the nation will under no circumstances authorize the renuncia- tion of Spanish rights.” In conclusion, El Liberal asks for the publication of the note which the United States Minister delivered to the Spanish Government, and it also asks for a statement-of the policy the Gov- ernment intends to pursue towards the United States. ' It is asserted that the note of the Spanish Government to Gen. Woodford, the United States Minister, will proba- bly be modified again as a result of a long conference between Senor Gullon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Senor Moret, Minister of the Colonies. Cuban Crisis Near. W'ashington, Oct. 25.—In spite of the reticenc—e of the State Department offi- cials and a denial at the State Depart- ment that a message in cipher was re- ceived from Minister Woodford, there is a general feeling in official circles that the Administration is about to bring the troublesome Cuban question to a conclusion. Gossip has it that be- tween now'and the time the President starts for Ohio important information is likely to be given out regarding the attitude of the Sagasta Ministry towards the United States and the Cuban row. New Floating Dock for Spain. London, Oct. 25.-—A second large pon- toon dock is being built for the Spanish Government on the Tyne. It will be towed to Havana for the use of the Spanish warships on that station. “IRISH JOAN 0F ARC.” Made Her First Public Appearance in America Inst Evening. New York, Oct. 25.—Miss Maud Gonne, the "Irish Joan of Arc,” who arrived Saturday on the Cunard steam- ship Lucania, made her first public ap- pearance in America at the Grand Opera House, under the auspices of the Irish Alliance last evening. She de- livered a«lecture there on the “Rising of ’98.” William McAdoo, err-Assistant Secretary of the Navy, presided, and a concert was given by well-known artists. . Miss Gonne is as pretty as the pic- tures represent her, and dresses in the latest Parisian style. She is tall, lithe, . of stately tread, and has a. fine, clear complexion. Her voice is musical, and she speaks with a decided French ac- cent, in which, however, can be de-' tected a slight trace of her native Kerry tongue. Miss Gonne said that she had been delivering lectures in Great Britain in behalf of amnesty just prior to her sailing for America. The feeling that the Irish political prisoners now in British jails should be released was very strong in England, and she thought public sentiment would bring about this much-desired result in a lit~ tle while. She said she had not yet made any definite plans in regard to her movements‘in this country. Proceeds of the sale of the tickets to the concert and reception will be the first contribution which Maud Gonne will send to swell the fund for Wolf Tone's monument and the amnesty cause from hospitable America.

The Camden Prioner’s Under Sharp Scrutiny. Camden, N. J., Oct. 25.7—Whatever may be the outcome of the trial when Eli Shaw faces the charge of murder- ing his mother and grandmother the dual life led by the accused young man has been well-established. The prose- cution has established what it believes to be an adequate motive for the double murder, and has secured a mass of evidence that points directly to young Shaw. With the young man’s character seriously crippled by the developments of the past few days the attorneys for the State feel confi- dent that they will present as strong a circumstantial case as was ever pro- duced before a Camden jury. One of the State’s officials declares that “something will be brought out at the Coroner's inquest that will create something of a sensation.” . If possible the sensation will be kept secret until next Friday,.when the in- quest is held, but the mass of corrob- orative testimony will be saved for the trial. Henry S. Scovel, counsel for Eli Shaw, has been in Philadelphia inves- tigating something which he says bids fair to clear Eli of the charge of mur- der. He said his clew had all the ap-\ pearances of reliability, but until he has verified it in every partiular he will not do more than hint at its sig- nificance. The belief that Eli had been arrested on such slight evidence as to make his release by the Coroner’s jury a probability has now disappeared. No one expresses a doubt but that he will he held, and Mr. Scovel, who takes a roseate View of his client’s case, hopes but does not expect that he will be released. WANTED $2,000,000 IN A HURRY. Two Women Rush to England After 0. Fairy Fortune. London, Oct. 25.——Another case has come to light of foolish persons in the United States being made to believe tales of wealth awaiting heirs in Eng— land. Mrs. Nolan and Mrs. Rafferty, of East Seventeenth street, New York, arrived here a fortnight ago, and called at the office of Charles Russell, son of the Lord Chief Justice, saying that they wanted to collect $2,000,000 belong- ing to the heirs of the O’Neal estate, adding that they wanted the money that week, so as to be able to return to New York on the steamer which brought them here. Mr. Russell examined the documents, which ’showed no evidence of being of the slightest value, at the same time informing his visitors that no such sum was unclaimed in Chancery. The two women having spent all the money they had in the voyage from New York to England, Mr. Russell paid their pas- sage back to the United States. SURVEYS FOR THE CAPITAL. Work Promptly Begun Under the - ' New Architect. Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 25.—Henry Ives Cobb, the architect selected to prepare the plans and superintend the erection of the new State capitol, has started the preliminary work. He had surveys made for the excavation, and to-day the Commission advertised for bids for the excavating. As fast as the work is completed bids will be asked for the foundation and superstructure, and the work will be pushed rapidly. _ Mr. Cobb says he expects to have the building ready for occupancy by the time the ‘next Legislature meets. The architect adds that he thinks he has solved the matter of a. new capitol to the satisfaction of the people. The Commissioners are not disposed to talk of the outcome of the case be— fore the Supreme Court. .-—— TO PRISO FOR LIFE. The Slayer of Postmaster Adams at White Plains Sentenced. White Plains, N. Y., Oct. 25.—Peter James, alias Eddie Jacques, who was on Saturday found guilty of murder in the second degree, was this morning sentenced to imprisonment for life.

Adams, the postmaster at Bedford Station, during a fight that followed an attempt to rob Adams’ store and in which one of James’ companions, John Clare, was killed, and another of the gang, John Jenkins, was fatally wounded by Adams’ son, James was also badly wounded. The sentence is more satisfactory to the Adams family than any other would have been, as they did not seek to haVe any more lives sacrificed in this sad affair, three having already died from their wounds. ' Gen. Duflleld Must Go. Washington, Oct. 25.—The resignation of Gen. W. W. Duflield, Chief of the Coast and -Geodetic Survey,»has been caled for by the President. The chief was appointed to his office by President Cleveland. He is a Democrat. It is said that he would have been removed months ago but for the influence of Secretary Alger.
