IL NNNNN SlUC-Y NNNLN Our Note Courteously/ But Firmly. Rejected in Substance. ' To DEAL ALONE‘WITH CUBA | She Refuses to Fix Any Date for Pacification, and Will Submit to No Foreign Interference What- 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 being mild in tune, 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 studying the 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. iii—El Tempo pub- Ii’sfies, 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- ford, the American Minister at Mad- rid, declares that if the United States does not stop the saillng of fibuster- 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 ought to avoid this rupture, so far as. duty and honor permit; but, though the Government should act in a spirit ofmoderation, 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 State‘ 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. Washington, Oct. 25.—In spite of the reticence 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 quesrion to a conclusion. ’Gossip has it that be- f‘ween 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. Londor, Oc‘. 25.——A second large pon- g loon dock ’S'be’ng bul t for the Spanish Government on the Tyne. It will be towed to Havana for the use of the Spent-1h warships on that station. “IRISH JOAN OF ARC.” Mfade Her First Pu‘lblic Appearance in America. Last Evening. .New York. Oct. 25.—¥Miss Maud Gonne, the “Irish Joan of Arc,”\ who arrived Saturdiy on the Cunard steam- ship Lucani‘», 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 oil-’98." Wi liam McAdoo, ex-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 musica‘, and she speaks with a decided French ac- cent, in which, however, can be de- tected, a slight trace of her native Kerry‘1tongue. . 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.

J., Oct. 25.—-—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 -Ell 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 evidé‘nce 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. rose’ate 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 8. 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. EEEEEEEE=G=I===F 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.

Mr. Cobb' says he expects to have the buildingready 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 ‘ .— een: numeld‘ 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. ' , The leading charge. against Gen. Duf- field is lncompetency. It is also con- .l tended that he is too old to perform such important and scientific duties? v ‘ J ' T, E E EV E‘E' lchA z E TT is :1 -‘oHECKER-BOARo BUSINESS DIRECTORY.
