EEEEEEEEESEES WAR
London Press» Says That Spain
Must Fight’Us or Back Down.
ITALY WILL .. HELP SPAIN
New Cabinet’s Defiant Attitude and
Ambassador Draper’s Visit to
Home Start War Rumors—Bitter
Attack‘s on “the Yankees.”
bassador Draper’s hurried 'visit to
Rome, taken in connection with Spain’s
reported defiant reply to the demands
of the United States, has caused war
talk in all the European capitals.
The London papers are unanimous in
declaring Spain’s reported ansWer to
be defiant and predicting an open rup-
ture with the United States unless she
recedes from or modifies her position.
Many bitter attacks are made upon
the “insolent Yankees” by the more
violent papers. Several, especially the
more conservative, unite in warning
Spain that she will be hopelessly over-
matched in case of a war with the
United States. ‘
The beEef 4‘s growing here that the
European monarchies will not stand
.contest which involves the ascendancy
of monarchical principles. This feeling
causes credit to be given to the report
spread by Italian papers that Italy has
proposed to the powers of Europe to
offer Spain her mediation to avoid war
with the United States.
The report is, now widely circulated
that the Italian Government is making
preparations to help Spain in case of
war. There can be no denying the fact
that the New Orleans massacre still
, rankles in the Italian breast.
In View of these complications and
the war spirit which is noticeably in-
creasing in Spain, an authoritative
publication of the answer of the Mad-
rid Government is being awaited with
the keenest interest.
Spain’s Reply Not Yet Beceivcd.
Washington, Oct. 26.—-It was stated
positively at the White House and at
the State Department that up to last
night the answer of Spain to the United .
States had not reached the President
01' Secretary Sherman, nor had they
received the 2,000—word cable communi-
cation which it is said Minister Wood-
Eord sent in cipher from Madrid last
Saturday. .
There was an abundance of specula:
tion in and about the White House {as
.to the issue presented by Spain’s an-
swer, as briefly summarized in cable
but from no - authoritative
source could it be learned that the Ad—
ministration had outlined any line of
policy to meet the situation now pre—
sented. Secretary Sherman did not
some to the White House during the
morning, and Assistant Secretary of
State Day has gone to Ohio, so that
there is no opportunity for conference
on the- Spanish—Cuban situation. At-
torney-General McKenna was with the
President for a quarter of an hour, pre-
sumably in reference to the Union Pa—
:ific Railway affairs. '
Action Possible 'l‘o—(lay.
The Attorney-General said, after
leaving the ,President, that there were
no developments which he wished to
communicate to the public. In other
quarters it was stated that a deter-
mination might come at any moment
'n the near future, and that in all prob-
ability the meeting of the Cabinet to-
day would bring about a. definite un-
derstanding and probably a final con-
clusion on the Government’s course.
It is not doubted among officials that
the basis of the Spanish reply to Mr.
Woodford’s note will be the charge that
'zhe United States has not observed the
requirements of international law in
the matter of preventing filibustering.
[n this case the State Department will
nave some pertinent facts to present,
which its officials believe will complete-
iy alienate from ,Spain‘ any sympathy
that she may have attracted from oth—
er European nations on that secre. It
*s asserted positively that in no single
:ase where the Spanish authorities
have brought to the attention of this
r:‘rovernment the fact that an illegal ex—
pedition was about to start from
American shores for Cuba has it neg-
lected to use all the means permitted
by the laws to prevent the start. It
has been so indulgent in this respect
as to accept statements from the Span-
ish officials, not accompanied by proofs
of the facts alleged, but mere sugges-
tions that they had reason to believe.
that an expedition was forming.
In some cases the Government has
proceeded to great lengths in restraint
of American“ commerce on insufficient
evidence furnished by the Spanish
Government that has resulted in the
preference of large claims by American
ship owners for illegal detention of
their ships. v
Laugh at Spain’s Claims.
Washington, Oct. 26,—The State De—
partment will have some pertinent
facts ,to present when Spain’s note is
received, which, its officials believe,
will completely alienate from Spain
any sympathy that she may have at—
tracted from other European nations
on the score of filibustering.
It is asserte positively that in no
single case where the Spanish authori-
ties have brought to the attention of
)ur Government the fact that an illegal
expedition was about to start for Cuba
has it neglected to use all the means
permitted by our laws to prevent it.
Spain Feels Sate.
Madrid, Oct..26.-—A member~ of the
Cabinet says the Government does not
believe that its reply to the American
note will cause friction with‘the United.
States, because its tone is friendly and
It shows that Spain is about to do for
Cuba what the United States has re-
peatedly advised.
He added that Gen. Blanco, the new
Captain-General, had been instructed
to promise more liberty to the Cuban
press, vigorous administrative reforms
and a weeding out in the ranks of offi-
cials. ‘
The Killing 9! Gen. Castillo.
Havana, Cuba, Oct. 26.—Private ad-'
vices received here confirm the report
that Gen. Castillo, the well—known in-
surgent leader, has been killed in an
engagement with the Spanish troops.
It is stated that his body has been
garried. to LP. Chorrera, fourmiles dis—
tant from this city, where it is in-
lerrexl. . -
London, Oct. 26.—United States Am- '

A LlCHrHobselNcmeNT.‘
one from the Waves,
Gusave Kobbé writes a paper or.
“Heroism in the Lighthouse Service,"
for the Century. Mr. Kobbé says sev-
eral of the violent ,s-torms that have
whirled over the Mantlnicus Rock
have tried the fortitude of the little
band of faithful watchers upon it. One
of these watchers, Abby Burgess, has
become famous in our lighthouse an-
nals, not only for long service, but also
for bravery displayed on various occa-
sions. Her father was keeper of the
rock from 1853 to 1861. In January,
1856, when she. was 17 years old he
left her in charge of the lights while
he crossed to Matinicus Island. His
wife was an invalid, his ”son was al’
ways on a cruise, and his other four
children were, little girls. _ The follow-
ing day it began to “breeze up;” the
wind increased to a gale, and soon de-
Veloped into a storm almost as furious
as that which carried away the tower
on Minot’s Ledge in 1851. Before long
the seas were sweeping over the rock. .
Down among the boulders was a
chicken-coop which Abby feared
might be carried away. On a lonely
ocean outpost like Mantimicusllock a
chicken is regarded with affectionate
interest, and Abby, solicitous for the
safety of the inmates of the little coop,
Waited her Chaucer and whenrth'e seas

through the swirling water, and res-
cued all but one of the chickens. She
had hardly closed the door of the
dwelling ‘ behind her when a sea,
breaking over a rock, brought down
the old cobble-stone house with a
crash. While the storm was at its
height the waves threatened the gran-
ite dwelling, so that the family mid to
take refuge in the towers for safety;
and here they remained, with no sound
to greet them from without but the
roaring of the wind around the lan-
ing over the rock. Yet through it all
Even after the storm had abated, the
reach between the rock and Matinicus
Island was so rough that Captain Bur-
gess could not return until four weeks
later.
BABY FONDLED BLACK SNAKES.
“God Save My Baby!" Cried the Mother,
Who Finally Killed the Reptiles.
Mrs. Amos Hammond, a farmers
wi e, living near Vand'ale, found her
tw -yea-r-old daughter fondling two
large, live blacksmlkes yesterday.
The child had slipped away from the
house, and not answering her mother’s
call, she went in search for her. Mrs.
Hammond approached a clump of a1-
ders about one hundred feet from the
house, where a spring is located, and
as she looked through the alder bus-hes
4 she saw her little girl seated by the
side of the spring," and heard her laugn
gleefully and say: “Pretty, pretty”.
Creeping closer Mrs. Hammond saw
the little girl stroke something. Then
she saw a monstrous black water .
snake lying with its body in the spring
and its head and neck in the child’s
lap. The little girl was stroking the
black head and laughing. A second
blacks-make slowly circled about the
child.
' “God save my baby !” screamed Mrs.
Hammond. Then the mother, with
faltering limbs, ran to the house, and
in a minute’s time returned with a
: double ban-oiled shot gun, into which
she had slipped two shells. When she
returned the reptiles had left the child,
and were rolling and tumbling in the
path several feet from the little girl.
The mother fired both barrels at the
writhing serpents, blowing their heads
to atoms. Then she seized her child
to her breast, ran into the hOuse and
fainted.
