--Ollicial Announcement, How cu r, C 11-

parture From the Capital.

New York, Feb. 16.—Minister ’Wood-

Iford’s dispatches to this Government

 

 

'ye‘sterday were highly

satisfactory.
They indicated an “amende honorable"
on the part of Spain, coincident with
the gazeting of De Lome's successor,
Senor Bernabe.

The Spanish warship Vizcaya, is due
in the harbor to- day, having sailed
from the Canary Islands 3. week ago
last Friday.

Senor Dupuy de Lorne, former Min-
ister of Spain, arrived in the city last
night. He, _was guarded by Central Of-
fice detectives and will sail to-day for
Europe.

Police Guarded De Lorne.

Guarded by detectives, ex-Minister
de Lorne slept last night at the Hotel
St. Marc, Thirty- ninth street and Fifth
avenue. The former Minister was ac-
companied by Mme. de Lome, their
two sons and a. Spanish valet.

Senor de Lorne did not know what
steamer he was to sail on, according to
the clerks at the hotel. He refused to
see 1cporters, and no one else called.
His baggage, consisting of thirty
pieces, was sent aboard the Britannia
last night, and it was said that he
would sail on her at noon.

Washington, Feb. 16.—“The Dc Lomc
incident is closed, ” said a. Cabinet offi-
cei after the Cabinet meeting yestei-
day.

“It cannot be officially announced
as such, however, until after Spain's
reply is received, but she has made a
disavowal, and the President is satis-
fied, and that ends the matter.”

The Cabinet meeting was over before
12.30 o’clock. The Spanish situation was
not discussed. The President simply
announced that Spain would make a
disavowal, and gazette it at Madrid
when the appointment of Senor Polo
as the successor of De Lome was an-
nounced. The President expressed
satisfaction at the outcome, and the
incident was closed so far as the Cabi-
net was concerned.

NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT YET.

Waiting for the Announcement in the
Gazette at llIadrid.

Washington, Feb. 16.—There is nc
change in the situation at the State
Department in regard to the Spanish
disavowal.
fuses to talk on the subject, he has as-
sured several Senators that he was
satisfied the incident would be closed
with satisfaction to both countries.

When the Cabinet met yesterday at
the Whtie House there were only four
of the President’s advisers present-
Secretaries Long and Wilson, Attor-
ney-General Griggs and Postmaster-
General Gary. Secretary Sherman did
not attend the meeting, and it was an-
nounced that he was not well. See-
retary Gage is returning from Chicago,
and Gen. Alger is at Old Point for his
health.

The President and his Cabinet, as
well as Assistant Secretary Day, of the
State Department, are awaiting news

from Madrid before giving out a state-

ment as to the situation.

Every Tuesday the Spanish Govern-
ment gazettes its official orders and
actions. and when the gazette was pro-
mulgated yesterday it was expected
that it would contain the official state.
ment of the Government in regard to
the De Lome incident, and its disavow-
al of the De Lorne letter. It was for
this reason that the President and the
Cabinet postponed issuing a publit
statement before, and for the same
reason Judge Day has been silent since
Saturday on the question. The ad.
ministration did not wish to anticipate

or embarrass the Spanish Cabinet by

making any statement in advance oi
the Queen Regent’s official utterances

The State Department will, therefore
wait until Gen. Woodford can cable the

'entire statement so that it can be in-

cluded in what is given out officially
here.

The President did not send to Con-
gress yesterday the Cuban correspond
ence asked for by the Williams resolu-
tion, which passed the House Monday
The correspondence, which includes
all the letters from American consuls
in Cuba, has been prepared. but as the
documents cover reports for month:
back and show. a most deplorable con
dition of affairs, the department does
not think it compatible with the public
interest to make them public before
the De Lome incident is closed.

DE LOME LEAVES THE CAPITAL.

Takes the Congressional Limited for Kev.
York--The Commercial Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 16.—Senor de Lorne
late Spanish Minister, left Washingtor
at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon or
the Congressional Limited for New
York. _

Over two hundred large boxes of th;
late Minister’s belongings had beei
packed and shipped.

Senor de Lorne and family were ac
companied _ to the railway station by
a large delegation from the Diplomath
Corps and then wives, who gave 1
hearty _au revoir to their late associ-
ate.

When the party arrived in New York
there were no friends to meet. them
The only man who seemed to know the
ex-Minister as he stepped off the trait.
was Amasa Thornton, who arrived
from Washington on the same train

tion to other subjects mainly to the
new commercial treaty between Spain
and the United States. The instruc—
tions now received will permit Senor
du Bosc to proceed with the negotiasc
tions on that subject.

Up to a. late hour the Legation here
had not been officially advised from
Madrid of the appointment of Senm
Luis Polo y Bernabe as Minister at
Washington. He is well known among
the officials here, coming from a. family
of diplomats, and having had an ex-
tended diplomatic service himself. It
is thought that the face that he was
chief of the commercial section of the
Foreign Office accounts for his choice,
as this position has given him a hand
in the commercial negotiations now
approaching the final stage.

THE SPANISH ENRAGED.

The Populace Angry With the Govern-
ment--Prefer War to an Apology.

London, Feb. 16. ——A dispatch from
Madrid says the populace of that city
is greatly enraged owing to ‘the belief
that the Spanish Cabinet has apolo-
gized to the United States.

The people fire bitterly opposed to
such a course, and are exceedingly hos-
tile to the Government, and may make
a. demonstration. The dispatch con-
cludes:

“The people prefer war to an apol-
ogy, thinking that Spain will suffer the
least thereby, as war would be exceed-
ingly disastrous to the large commerce
of the United States.”

The liIurder of an American.

Washington, Feb. 16.—In the Senate
yesterday Mr. Pettus (Ala) offered and
secured the passage of a. resolution
requesting the President, if not incom-
patible with the public interest, to in-
form the Senate what action has been
taken in reference to the murder of
Segundo N. Lopez, a citizen of the
United States, on the 11th of April,
1896, in the district of San Diego del
Valla, ManZanillo. Cuba by armed sol-
diers of Spain, commanded by Col. Es-
truch.

 

 

Madrid Government to Investigate.

Madrid, Spain, Feb. 16.—La. Corre-
spondencia de Espana announces that
“owing to the international considera-
tions involved the Government has
taken steps to ascertain how and by
whom Senor Dupuy de Lome's letter
to Senor Jose Canalejas was stolen."

 

Comment of the Figaro.

Paris, France, Feb. 16.—The Figaro
says: “No State could make such an
apology as the United States demands
from Spain without the loss of all dig-
nity. If the United States should at-
tack Spain under such a futile pretext
Europe would support the latter.”

SILVER FORCES ALLIED FOR 1898.

Concerted Appeal to the Three Parties
Issued by Chairmen Jones.

Washington, Feb. 16.—Concurrent
addresses were issued yesterday to the‘
Democrats, Populists and silver Re-
publicans of the United States urging
the union of these parties for the Con-
gressional campaign of 1898.

The address to Democrats is signed
by Senator James K. Jones, of Arkan-
sas, Chairman of the Democratic Na.-
tional Committee, and indorsed by the
Democratic Congressional Committee;
that to the Populists by Senator Mar-
ion Butler, Chairman of the Populist
National Committee, and the twenty-
five other Populist members of the
Senate and House, and that of the sil—
ver Republicans by Chairman Charles
A. Towne and the silver Republicans
in the Senate and House, and also by
former Senator Dubois.

The addresses contain no mention of'

free silver. The issue of 16 to 1 is
dropped and the attitude of the allied
forces is shifted to an assault upon the
Republican party for favoring the gold
standard, monopolies and trusts.

Wyoming Republicans for Gold.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 16.—The Re-
publican State Central Committee of
W'yoming met here yeSterday and de-
cided that the party in Wyoming will
abandon the advocacy of free coinage
of silver in this year’s campaign. A
full State ticket and a Legislature that
will choose a United States Senator are
to be elected and the party will stand 1
without qualification upon the St. Louis
platform. For the past six years VVy-
oming Republican State conventions
have indorsed the free coinage of sil-
ver. '

LOG OF THE BEAR.
The Ship’s voyage of Relief to the Ice-
Bound Whalers in the Arctic.

Washington, Feb. 15. —The Secretary
of the Treasury has received the fol-
lowing telegram from Capt. Tuttle,
commanding the Bear, which left Seat-
tle in November with a nexpedition
for the relief of the icebound Whalers
in the Arctic.

“The Bear arrived at Unalaska at
Doom-December 9, coaled and watered
ship and sailed for the n’orth'at 1.35
a. m. the 11th. Arrived off S. E. Cape
St. Lawrence Island at ’2 p. m. the
13th, where ice was met. .: At_6.40 a. In.
December 14, ice was making rapidly.
Cape Nome was ninety-Sig miles dis-
tant. Concluded the veSsél would be
frozen in long before. the” cape Could
be reached; therefore, turned and
steamed southward for Cape Vancou-
ver, which was reached at 3.50 p. m.,
on the 15th, too late to make a. landing.

“The relief party, Lieuts. Jarvis and
B'ertholf, Dr. Call and Mr. Koltchoff,
with
Michaeland the north, were landed on
the 16th, about five miles from' the vil-
lage of Tunnuak, Cape Vancouver.
Lieut. Jarvis made arrangements with
the trader of the village to guide and
assist his party'to St. Michael, which
the trader said could be reached in ten
days. On account of bad weather and
running ice the Bear could not remain
to see the party started overland.
Sailed from Cape Vancouver at 8.40 a.
m. on the 17th. Called at the Sea]
Islands on the 20th and let inst. All
well there. Arrived at Unalaska De-
cember'22. All well. The branded
seals are returning to St. Paul Isl-
ma )9

Capt. Shoemaker chief of the rev
enue cutter service, said that owing to
the advanced season of the year the
Bear’s landing of the overland expe-
dition was effected at about the time
and place anticipated by him, and
that he feels that, owing to the indom-
itable courage of the two officers who
head the expedition, Jarvis and Ber-
tholf, its success is practically assured.
They probably reached the Teller rein-
deer station. on the north shore of

_Norton Sound, and are now well on

the road to Point Hope by way of
Kotzebue Sound, on the arctic shores
of Alaska. From that point they will
take the coast line route to Point Bar-
row, making such arrangements at
stopping places en route as may be
possible for the care of the whalemen
who may have left their ships.

 

Hospitals in Alaska.

Seattle, Wash, Feb.,_15.——A new plan
is on foot. for the organization of a
series of hospitals at all the chief
points in Alaska. The chief promoter
of the enterprise, Dr. F. H. Booth, is
now in Seattle on his way northward.

“It is our purpose,” said Dr. Booth,
“to organize a. hospital service at Dyea,
Lake Bennett, Stewart River, Dawson,
Fort Cudahy, Circle City, Minock
Creek, and Copper1 River. The first
station to be organized will be at Dyea.
Our general plan is very similar to the
hospital stations throughout Michigan.
The company, under the auspices of
which we are working, is known as the
Alaska Sanitary Company, organized
under the State laws of Illinois.”

 

Rich Strikers on Eldorado Creek.

Tacoma. Wash, Feb. 15.—On Dec. 15
last bench claims were discovered on
the sidehill above Eldorado in the
Klondike country. A stampede fol-
lowed and many claims were taken up.
Other stories of rich strikes in the
same section are also reported in let-
ters from the North.

 

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.

 

A Senator Says Congress Will Take No
Action on the Question.

Washington, Feb. 15.—A Republican
United States Senator, a prominent
member of‘the‘pommittee on Finance,
and an advocate of annexation, made
the following statement yesterday, in
regard to the fate of the pending Ha-
\Vaiian annexation treaty.

“I have just informed Senator Davis,
chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, and who has charge of the
treaty in the Senate, that in my judg—
ment it is a. waste of time to discuss
the annexation treaty and further, that
only 53 votes could be counted upon

' in favor of the bill; and that I saw ab-

solutely no prospect of securing the
additional seven votes that will be re-
quired. Senator Davis was forced to
acknowledge the accuracy of my state-
ment in regard to our present strength,
but he did not appear Willing to aban-
don the fight yet. He might as Well,
however, do it.

The annexation treaty will not pass
the Senate and the fate of the joint
resolution in the House depends en-
tirely upon Chairman Dingley of the
’Ways and Means Committee, and
Chairman Hitt of the Foreign Affairs
Committee. If these. two leaders unite
in insisting that the resolution be
brought up, and members are given a
chance to vote upon it, it can pass the
I, hOWever, very much doubt
that they will adopt this course. It
is my honest conviction, after going

over the situation most carefully, both

in the Senate and the House, that Con-
gress will adjourn without acting on
the question of the annexation of Ha-
waii.’

 

Action of Treaty Delayed.

Washington, Feb. 15.—Senator White
of California, chairman of the Dem-
ocratic Congressional Committee, left
for California to—morrow, to be gone
several weeks. The Senate has agreed
to take no action on the Hawaiian
treaty until his return. .

 

The Cotton Strike May Fizzle.

Boston, Feb. 15,— Dispatches from
New England cotton manufacturing
centres do not seem favorable to the
general strike urged at the meeting of
the textile workers Sunday. In Man-
chester, N. H., the 9,000 employees of
the Amoskeag company are practically
unorganized, as are the operatives of
the dther mill. A demand for a gen-
eral strike would have little effect
there.

CHARITY IN FRANCE.
Ludiesof Rank Nurse'Caueer Patients in
the Hospitals.

Ladies of .the highest rank, -who
seem the most engrossed by frivolous

pleasures, will perform heroic acts of.

charity in the most unexpected man-
ner. The Infirmary for Cancerous Dis-
eases, containing the most fearful and
loathsome examples of that repulsive
malady, is regularly attended by la-
dies of rank, who have their fixed days
of duty, when, each in turn, they dress
the wounds with theirown hands. The
Duchess d’Uzes, one of the best known
leaders of fashion, whose splendid fes-
tivities fill the chronicles of the lead-
ing newspapers, is one of the most as-
siduous, showing an adroitness in the
exercise of her charitable functions,
which induces her care to be particu-
larly desired by the patients.

Great families, when residing in
their country houses, have regular
days in the week when the daughters
of the family dress wounds and sores
among the surrounding peasantry. The
mothers in such families repress en-
ergetically any morbid sensibility
which might interfere with such duties.
"What will you be fit for in after life
if you cannot command your feelings?”
said a. venerable Marquise who looked
as if she 'had stepped down from the
frame of one of her pictures in her
chateau. Another instance is a lady in
a less high position, who took in a
wretched beggar child on a cold wintry
night, performing maternal offices as
regards removing the consequences of
his neglected condition which were so
repulsive that her physical strength
gave way and she was taken violently
ill in consequence. On being praised
for her charity, she exclaimed almost
indignantly: “What! when our Lord
washed the feet of His disciples, you
would have me shrink from doing
what is necessary for a poor, wretched
child, merely through a feeling of dis-
gust?”

It must be acknowledged, however,
that by the side of acts of heroic char-
ity there is, saving exceptions a great
lack of that genial kindness which
shows itself to equals in any trouble
by many little friendly attentions in
England and America—the “cup or
cold water" of the Gospel.—Ceutury.

 

113 Letters in a Baby’s Name.

What would you do if it took one
hundred and thirty-one letters to

Think of the time you would have

Boston the other day who has exactly

MRS: LANGTRY COULDN’T REFUSE.

As 3 Marble Statue She Was Forced to
H Accept the Proposition.

Mrs. Langtry, who, because _. of'a
number of interesting recent events, is
once mo: e before the public eye, is the
owner of a ranch out near Carson,
Nev. It was sold to "her by “Sam” Da-
vis, of “The Appeal. ” The story of the
sale is short and reads like fiction, but
is truth. Mis. Langtry was playingGal-
atea. She had had some dealings -W1th
Davis looking to the purchase of the
ranch, but had been unable to make up
her mind. “Sam” was consequentlx ,
worried for fear the deal would not go
through. So one night he went to the
stage door of the theater where the
play was being'produced, and, owing to
his editorial position, was admitted
without question. He waited until
Mrs. Langtry took up her. position as

— the statue of Galatea, and then, calling

three stage hands to witness, he whis-
pered from the wings to her: “If you
hear me, wink the eye which is further
from the audience.” Galatea winked-
That established Davis’s case.

“Now, if you don’t want to buy the
southwest quarter section 14, 15 and
13 for $8,000 shake your head,” he
said. Galatea,tlie- marble statue, with
the eyes of the audience, was, of course
immovable. “All right,” said Davis,
cheerfully, “I and these Witnesses un-
derstand that you want it at that fig-
ure.” ,

The next day he gave her the deeds,
and took her good money. She prob-
ably might have made a contention in
court, but she decided that such diplo—
macy deserved recognition, and so ac-
cepted the situation. That is how she
came to be a landowner in Nevada.—

Foolish Excess of Discipline. '

The practice in some public schools
at requiring the children, when mov-
ng in a body, to observe more than
:he military rigidity of line, with pen-
ilties for looking in- other than a
prescribed direction, or for lifting the
mud to allay a facial irritation, reach-
23 a climax in the San Francisco
schools. There, the boys, when: lined.
1p in front of the school, awaiting.
:he tap of the bell“ are required to
:tand with their arms folded across
:heir chests, exactly in the prison at-
:itude. When they move it is with
:he prison lockstep, and between rows
1f nails driven into the sidewalk, and
woe be to the unlucky youth who"
steps over the line. The criticism of
:he method comes from a detective.
The boys, he claims, are acquiring a
uabit which in later years will be a
source of annoyance and a cause of
suspicion. Discharged convicts,' the
letective asserts, f1 equently resume

A Qumk-fl‘ittecwaltress.

A woman in a restaurant concluded
to try an order of ice cream pudding
at 5c. 3. plate. After it had been served:
she looked it over carefully, and call-
ing the waitress back, said:

“Do you call this ice cream pull--
ding?"

“Yessum, and it’s very nice, too."

“But where is the ice cream?”

“Oh, that’s only the name given that
peculiar make of pudding. '

“It seems to me that you ought to
give ice cream with it as long as you
call it ice cream pudding."

“We don't give cottages with cotton
pudding,” quickly replied tho- witty
waitress, which throw the middle-aged
woman into a convulsion of laughter,
and she ordered a second plate.—-Bop-

“Hobs has quit the harness business
since bicycles are so popular.” “What
is he doing?” “He is making milking
stools; he says he don’t think anything
can be invented that will run the cow
out of her job.”———Chicago Record.
