CLEAR AGGUSATIONS MADE
Uncle Sam Is Charged with Succor-
ing the Rebellion by Laxity of the
Law—The President Orders 11 Pro-
test. .
Washington; Oct. 30.-—The chagrin‘ of.
the Administration 'over the' insolence
ofSpain’sretort grows the more Gen.
Woodford’s cablegram is studied, and
it is already evident that if Woodford
has fully given the sense of the docu-
ment he received from Sagasta the low-
ering sky over the United States and
Spain has not been cleared one iota,
but rather the war cloud has moved
nearer.
Close examination of the dispatch by
the expert diplomatists of the State
Department fails to point to a single
material concession in the note, which,
while devoted principally to the re-
forms proposed in ..Cuba, places upon
this Government the task of influencing. -
the insurgents to accept the alleged au-
, tonomy. '
The only unqualified statement Saf-
gasta vouchsafes is the emphatic dec—
.larafion that Spain will never give up ; vows to, the Most High."
_ watchful providence industry has p1 os-
' Cuba 01‘ permit another nation to par-
ticipate in hercontrol of the island,
thus' firmly repudiating mediation. This
is the single, clear announcement of
the dispatch, all others having tangled
up in‘Such involved, polite phraseology
as to give no' positive infromation. Its
pr‘Ominent emphasis is brazenly defiant,
and it nullifies the last semblance .of
satisfaction this Government hoped to
find in the rejoinder.
The reference to filibustering also
turns out to be _more insulting than at
first appeared. ”Not only is this Gov-
ernment insinuatin‘gly accused of wink-
ing at the dispatch of many expedi—
tions, but it is explicitly charged with
having, through its lax statutes, suc-
cored the rebellion by passive moral
support while simultaneously embar-
rassing Spain by various diplomatic
demands, such as pressing old-time in-
demnity claims, and rudely intervening
in behalf of alleged American citizens
whose naturalization has been evasive-
ly secured for notorious purposes.
A copy of the reply is expected by
mail next Saturday, and until that time
no definite action will be taken beyond
the protest Gen. Woodford has already
been. instructed to make against the
unsatisfactory, indefinite. character of
the reply, and the President’s expecta—
tion that he will be furnished with
more specific information to present to
Congress in December.
SPAIN WOULD FIGHT.
But Does Not \Vant \Vur with
United States.
New York, Oct. 30. —Dr. T. Congasto,
who is to be the new secretaiy— General
of Cuba under Captai'n— General Blan-
co, is at the Cambridge Hotel, corner of
Thirty—third street and Fifth. avenue.
Dr. T. Congasto has been a resident of
the United States for'the-paSt sixteen
years. He has lived- four years in Phil-
adelphia. He is a phy.sician Dr. Con-
gasto in speaking of Cuba, said:
“The new Administration will bring
about some radical changes. These
changes will occur before the first of
‘the year. The new Administration will
be one of the-most liberakorder. If the.
changes-that were represented to=me
do not take place I shall certainly not
stay in the island, but I am certain
that they will .occur.
“I think that the better element of
the Cubans will accept the reforms
that will be held out to them, and I do
not thinkxit will be long before the
troubles in Cuba will be settled. The
condition of’Cuba is so peculiar that a
the

small band of men can defy large num-i ,
bers of- soldiers for: some time, but IIII
imagine, that even- the bands will, when.
shown that real reforms are to be in-
‘stituted, aeoept them. Cuba is like the
man who stands with a pieCe of bread
in one hand and a stick in the other.
He says if you want peace and bread,
all right; but if not I shall have to use
the stick.” . .
As to Spain wanting war with the
United States, Dr. Congasto . said:
“Spain does not Want war with the
'United States, but it forced to it She
will fight, and to the best of her abil-:
ity. You can depend on it that Spain
twill not take. the initiative. The Span-I
=ish people would prefer peace with'this
country.- The sentiment against Spain
in this country mostly exists in New.
LYork city.”
When the subject of the filibustering
expeditions was broached, Dr. Congas-
to said .that he was not at liberty to
_talk about the matter so long as it was
a subject of diplomatic correspondence
between the two countries.
'When the remarkable release of
Evangelina de Cisn'eros was mentioned
'Dr. Congasto laughed immoderately.
He said that? it Was absurd.
"‘Why, it was well. understood in
Havana that the girl was to be re:
leased, and the authoritiesIgot an ink--
ling ofthe plan to capture, her, and
they'letlthe thing go on, and I under-.
stand aided it‘ as much as they could
passively. In fact, the Spanish author-
ities are a‘sm‘uch to blame for her es-
cape 1.3 the people who participated in.
the romantic joke. Theauthorities were
glad to have gotten rid‘ of the trouble-
some girl, and said 'good riddance to
her. The account of the heroic cap-
ture has afforded me‘ much amusement,
.as it also has the people in Havana. If
you were only in Cuba yOu could un-
derstand how ridiculous the whole af-
fair is. ” “

Seth Low and Tammany.‘ Henry-
George,,Jr., will stand in his father’s
place on'the official ticket, battling for
the cause in which his father died, but

Low and Van Wyck.
The Tracy candidacy, which has be-
come less formidable the past week, is
far down in the race to- day, and _not '
even those at the Tracy headquaiters
make concealment of the fact that they
are no longer to be regarded as among
the possible winners.
The fight against Tammany, there-

managers, and late last night both felt
that the cause 'W'Ould not suffer at the
polls because of Mr.’ George’s death.
- The Tammany leaders yesterday af-
ternoon ~ declared that Mr.’ George’s
death made Van Wyck’s election cer-
tain, but later, when they learned that

New York, Oct. 30. —The divers are
greatly hampered in their work looking
for the bodies of the victims of the dis-
aster. at Garrisonls; The2 mud in the?
bottom of the river is of such a kind
as to prevent them getting a foothold.
This necessitates the. search being con-
ducted with the divers hanging to a
safety rope, which is passed around the
body at one end and then attached toI
the divers' float. '
The trucks of the sleeping cars 'Awere
raised yesterday. and then a search!
made. of the holes from which they
were taken. .It failed to reveal any
bodies. The engineer' 5 cap and one of
the side lamps of the locomotive were
the only things unearthed this morn- I

son, a 16- -year- -old boy, while digging
fish bait on Beaver Island, in the south
part of this city.s struck a metallic sub-

unearthed.;.proved to be an iron box.
When opened the finder was nearly
overpoweredwith the great amount of
wealth he saw. for there lay gold and
paper money amounting to $50, 000.
It is not known if it was the pro-
ceeds of an express robbery or belonged
to a Swedish nobleman who lived a
number of years on Beaver'Island.
