SPANISH; ’ woo Absolutely no Foundationfor the " Fright Over Cuban Affairs. SITUATION ONE OF PEACE President McKinley Expects No Trouble with Spain, and Proposes to Give It Ample Tune to Test the New Policy. ~ Waé‘hington, Nov. 8.—“There is abso- lutely no foundation for this Cuban war scare. There has not been a meet- ing of the Cabinetefor two months when the forecast, so far as foreign affairs are concerned, was so pacificatory. “The prospect for the navy is so quiescent that the captain of our big- gest ship has been ordered to Wash- ington and-is sitting upon a Board to . prepare 'a bill for the reorganization of ' the personnel of the navy service. The rest of the big ships are now under- ' ging their Winter repairs.” ' Secretary Long made this statement i on Saturday because of the sensational reports which have been published dur- ing the last few days that the rela- ;,tions between the United States and ’ Spain were in such condition that war I was impending. . I Positive information shows conclu- f sively that President McKinley regards fthe Cuban situation as most pacific, " nor does he expect any developments ' at the present time which will be a just reason for alarm. Your correspondent is able to state authoritatively that it . is the firm determination of the Presi- ‘ dent to give Spain a. reasonable time in which to testthe new policy which Gen. Blanco has been authorized to put 3 into effect in Cuba. He has been offi- f cially informed of the intention of 5 Spain to abandon the reconcentration i policy, and he is daily expecting the announcement that Gen. Blan‘co has is- sued an order extending the zones of cultivation in Cuba. The prospect of a more humane con- duct of the war is a reason, in the opin- ion of the President, why this Govern- ment should go slowly in further inter- fering in the Cuban matter. Therefore, officials say, the» reports of impending trouble are false on their face._ Wash- ington and Madrid are acting in full accord, they declare, and, so far as the President is concerned, .he proposes to deal withthe Cuban question in a s0- ber, calm and dignified manner. ' There is absolutely no truth in the report that this Government has re- plied to the charge of failure to com- pel compliance with the neutrality laws made by Spain in her answer to Min- ister Woodford’s representations. The reply will be made only after the mat- ter has received the most careful con- sideration of the President and his ad- visers. ' What Minister Woodford has done has been to lay before the Madrid Gov- ernment a statement in controversion of the allegations recently made by the Spanish Government, through Minister Dupuy de Lorne, that the United States has been derelict in the matter of pre- venting the departure of filibustering expeditions. The communication recites that the United States has done even more than is required by the rules of international law to prevent its territory being made the base for hostile operations against a country with which it is at peace. served, but it is pointed out that a fleet of naval vessels and revenue cutters, at considerable cost to the United States, has been stationed in Southern waters especially to prevent the de- parture of filibustering expeditions, and that employes of the Treasury De- partment and the Department of Jus- tice have been active in maintaming a careful watch for any violations of the neutrality laws. CIVIL CRISIS IN SPAIN. Internal Dissension and Distress All Over the Land—Revolution May Break Out. London, Nov. 8.—A great civil crisis In Spain seems now inevitable, and the day apparently is not far off. Internal dissension and distress are already rev- olutionary in spirit, and they are likely soon to become revolutionary in ac- tion. Information to this effect comes not only from Madrid, but from a. va- riety of public and private sources in Spain which leave no room to doubt the grave nature of the crisis. ‘ The Government is fully aware of the danger, but does not know the actual extent of the sedition in the army. The Carlist propaganda. has been wide- spread for months, but it is impossible to ascertain what proportion of the of- ficers are affected. It is feared that the arrival of Gen. Weyler will precipitate a. crisis. He is not accused of Carlism, but is known to be disaffected to the point of insubordination against the present Government. The Cabinet is prepared to adopt the sternest measures in dealing with Gen. Weyler, in the hope that the example may crush the spirit of revolt. The of shooting traitors, if necessary, is some indication of the serious nature of the situation. As far as the relations with the United States are Concerned, or Cuba itself, for that matter, the Spanish Government is likely to have its hands too fully occupied with domestic dan- gers to give much attention to the out- side situation. It will be only, perhaps, as a last desperate measure to'unite the home factions against a foreign foe be sought or thought of. Miner’s Wife Dies of Starvation.

My back ached so severely at times I could not move and I was compelled to get up often at- night to urinate and lost a great deal of sleep. I tried med- icmes and plasters but they would not cure me. I saw Dean’s Kidney Pills advertised and I got a box at Glenden— ing’s.

ONLY TWO MEN SAVED Engine Fires Pu: Out and Boat Helplesi in Gale—Mate and Backhand China to a Spar for Eight Hours—RescuedJusi in Time by a Passing Steamer. Buffalo, Nov. 8.—The steamer Idaho, caught in the fierce southwester which swept over Lake Erie on Friday night. foundered in eight fathoms of water at 4.30 o’clock Saturday morning, twelve miles above Long Point, which juts into Lake Erie from the Canadian shore, sixty-five miles west of Buffalo. Of her crew of twenty-one men two were Saved. Eight hours after the disaster the steamer Mariposa sighted the single spar which marked the grave of the Idaho. Clinging to that spar, hardly out of the reach of the fierce sea, were the two survivors of the wreck, almost frozen’ from the long exposure in their wet garments. One of them had been made insane temporarily by his suffer- ings. It was no light task to rescue them from the spar. The captain of the Mari- posa ordered his small boats down, but they could not live in the sea. Then he tried throwing lines to the men, but the men were too' stiff and cold to hold onto them. After two hours’ manoeua vring he worked the Mariposa around aboard. The rescued men were William Gill, ester, and Louis La Force, Jr., the sec- ond mate. The list of the drowned is as follows. Capt. Alex Gillies, Mate George Gib- son, Engineer William Clancy, Assist- ant Engineer Nelson Skinner, Watch- man Louis-Gilmore, Wheelmen Richard McLean and Robert Williams, Lookouts A. J. Richard and Henry Thomson, Firemen Conrad Blanker and William Gregory, deck hands Edward ‘Smith, a man named Bell and Fred Mumford; Steward John D. Taylor, Assistant Steward. John Leahy, and one fireman, o‘ne deck hand 'and one porter, names- unknown. . The Idaho is owned by the Western Transit Company. She was built more than thirty years ago, and had been out of commission for four years, but was rigged up for business late this season. This was m second trip, and except- ing the captain and firemen the crew was practically new. Sailors did not fancy her for traffic so late in the year. She'left Buffalo on Friday afternoon, laden with ,package freight for Mil- waukee. She‘was 220 feet long, with a net tonnage of 908 and a gross tonnage of 1.110. During the G. A. R. Encamp- ment the Idaho was used as headquar- ters for the naval veterans. TRAIN HELD UP AND BURNED. Desperate \Vork of Four Robbers on the Atlantic and Pacific Road, Albuquerque, N. M., Nov. 8.——The At- lantic & Pacific passenger train No. 2 from the West was held up by four men near Grant’s Station, ninety-five miles west of this city, at 7.30 Saturday night. After blowing open the express company’s safe the robbers wrecked the train, which caught fire, the ex- press, baggage and smoking cars being totally destroyed. It is not yet known whether they were successful in obtaining booty, but it is thought a large amount of money was carried by the train. The robbers had boarded the train at some point further west, and when near Grant's one of them climbed onto the engine, and, covering the engineer with a gun, ordered him to stop the train. . The coaches, were cut off and left at the stock yards. The rest of the train was then taken out a mile and a half from the station, where the express safe was dismantled. After robbing the safe the robbers re- versed the engine and made their escape. . The engineand baggage car ran at a terrific rate until they“ struck the coaches, which were standing near the stock yards, and set them on fire. Fortunately the passengers had all left the coaches before the collision, and none were injured. A late rumor is to the effect that the fireman, Henry Ablo, who was com- pelled by the robbersto run the engine when the coaches were cut off, was killed ‘by the explosion when the safe was" blown open.
