BRITISH GOVERNMENT AID It Warns Contractors That Statements to the Effect That England Favors Spain Arc Altogether Unfounded—Sagasta’s Efforts to Purchase Vessels Frustrated. London, Feb. 7.——Now that time and opportunity for reflection have been al- lowed by a temporary cessation of the patriotic and bellicose statements Which, since the wreck of the Maine, have been the chief feature of the spe- cial cable dispatches f1om the United States, Englishmen are beginning to Iealize the depth of the pro- -Cuban feel- ing in the United States, with which the thoughtful element here cordially sympathizes, although they still be- lieve the Maine inquiry will absolve Spain from complicity in the disaster. An impression, almost amounting to conviction, prevails that public opin- ion will compel the Government of the United States to acknowledge the Cu- bans as belligerents and to intervene in Cuba. The very calmness and patience of the people of the United States tend to confirm the conviction here that Amer- icans have become aware that their government is preparing to satisfy the country’s aspirations when the auspic- ious moment arrives. Every one in this country acknowledges the dignity and self-possession with which the Cabinet of President McKinley have been han— dling this most difficult affair, and this attitude of the United States Govern- ment has had a great effect in influ- encing opinion on this side of the At- lantic. The Americans in London express themselves as being much gratified at the friendly attitude which the Brit- ish Government has evidenced toward the United States. By the advice of the British Government ship builders and dealers in munitions of war here insist, practically, upon cash pay- ments in the case of all orders booked by Spain. It seems that the Spanish Embassy, when bargaining with the shipbuilding and other firms, indirect- ly suggested that Great Britain sym- pathizes with Spain. This coming to the ears of the British Government the latter lost no time in correcting any such impression with the leading firms which is in the habit of doing govern- ment work. Another rumor which has decidedly pleased the Americans here has it that the United States Government has suc- ceeded in obtaining complete plans of ‘ the principal Spanish harbors and their defenses. In short, both Americans and Eng- lishmen in this city have about con- cluded that the present calm has been brought about by President McKinley STARVING CUBANS Fan. U. S. Consul Hyatt Tells of the Relief “'ork Being Done at Santiago de Cuba. New ‘York, March 7.-.—Unitcd States Consul Hyatt writes from his post at Santiogo de Cuba to the New York Central Relief Committee as follows: “I desire to make a brief report of the first four days’ work in distributing the food and medicine which I received in due time by steamship Niagara. As stated in a previous communication, a committee of thirty of the best ladies of the place divided the city into fifteen . districts, with two ladies to each dis- trict. These issued ration tickets ac- cording to the number of needy persons in each house. These tickets are 11011- ored under the direction of a commit- tee of gentlemen and myself, and a. liberal weeks rations are issued to each. To prevent imposition we are obliged to refuse all who do not come with tickets from the ladies. . “The first day’s rations were issued to 379; second day, 577; third day, 1,083; fourth day, 1,027; total, 1,065. Each ra- tion being for seven days makes a to,- tal of 21,462 for one day. ‘ “As near as I caniudge only about one-half of the people who need help have yet received their first rations, and the codfish and beans will give out before we get around the first time. I have given moderate quantities to the eleemosynary institutions of the city, and sent some to the mining and other towns near by. we are trying to make both food and medicine do the most good possible. It takes six or eight po- licemen to keep the crowds in order. “I am obliged to spend some money for labor, ' cartage, transportation, cables, incidentals, etc. There are nu- merous people badly ruptured and in a. distressed condition. I am skilled in handling trusses, but I hardly think it advisable to send trusses, as each case needsastock to select from. Iwould not advise sending any more medicine ex— cept quinine for the present. Every- thing sent has been of superior quality. The medicines have had almost mirac- ulous effects. Should you make further shipmentskeep beans, rice and codfish in the foreground, but everything comes in play. “Smallpox has again broken out,_and I have requested Surgeon-General Wy- man to send to you for me a quantity of vaccine virus. Should it not came to hand I will thank you to furnish me with a moderate quantity.” GARY INCREASES REWARD. For the Detection of llIurderers of Luke City’s Negro Postmaster. W’ashington , March 7.—-Postmaster- General Gary has issued the following circular offering a. reward of $1,500 for the arrest and conviction of each per- son who participated in the murder of Postmaster Baker at Lake City, S. 'C., on the night of February 21: “The special award of $300 heretofore offered by the Postoffice Department for the arrest and c.1nv1ction of, the person or persons who burned the post- ofi‘ice at Lake City, S. C., on the night ' of February 21, 1898, is hereby renewed in order to allow the completion of ? persons who murdered the postmaster preparations for defense and for pos- sible initiative action and few people : rest and conviction of each person who ,participated in said murder. here will be sorry when a decision is reached and the long standing tension is ended. Operators on the Stock Exchange are ; ; viction upon presentation to the de- inclined to leave American securities alone until the crisis is settled. They burned their fingers during the past movement being that London lost con- siderably to New York, and, although ' there is no doubt as to the final out- come, should war result, it is feared the struggle will cause the trade of the United States to suffer severely, hence London purchasers at present . are not likely to be appreciable. An exemplification of the feeling here is contained in a long article publish- ed by the Statist. ing President McKinley, “Whose pow— ers are perhaps greater than those of an European sovereign,” upon having exhibited “admirable firmness of char- acter and independence of judgment,” the‘ Statist points out that “however strong the President may be, he has finally to obey the will of the people.” Continuing, the Statist says: “It would be the gravest mistake to suppose that because the jingoes, who have discredited themselves by reck- less charges, which they were unable to substantiate, have failed to move the President, that public sympathy for the Cubans, which is very real and very widespread, will also fail.” Commentingupon the financial as- pect of the situation, the same paper remarks: “The withdrawal of gold for New and the special award of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the person or hereby increased to $1,500 for the ar- These rewards will be paid to the person causing such arrests and con- partment of satisfactory documentary ' proof thereof, but no claim for the .week, the net result of the seesaw. above rewards will be entertained by ' the department unless presented within ' six months from the date of convic- After compliment- » tion. " Want llIr. Wanamaker’s Answer. Philadelphia, March 7.-—A committee of the Business Men’s ueague, which several weeks ago adopted a. resolution requesting John I’Vanamaker to allow the use of his name as the anti-Quay candidate for Governor, had a confer- ence with Mr. Wanamaker here Satur- day. The committee consisted of Presi- dent Elias Deemer, of VVilliamsport; Robert J. Mcrehead, of Northeast, and John G. McAskie, of Scranton. Upon conclusion of the conference Mr. Deem- er stated that Mr. - give his definite reply to the League York at this season of the year is; noteworthy.” The Statist gathers therefrom a cor- roboration of the belief that “most of ' the late speculation in American secur— ities has been conducted by the United States and financed by New York banks, hence the latter are :11... 111 no position to part with much money to the agricultural districts, without call— ing loans.” Another circumstance has powerfully contributed to the strin- gency. If there should be war, the ex- penditure will be upon an enormous scale, and the Government will have to borrow immense sums to meet this enormous expenditure. It is not sur- prising, therefore, if the banks are tak- and are increasing their holdings of gold.” The Spectator believes that both Washington and Madrid “expect war, without desiring it,” that “both are arming as rapidly as they can," and that “both are cogitating upon possible alliances,” Spain with France and Russia and America with Japan, which wants the Philippine Islands and could double the American fleet at a few hours’ notice if Russia permitted.” The Spectator continues: “Great ef- forts are being made on both sides to gain time, by. President McKinley be- cause the arsenals-.arenot full, and by Premier Sagasta, because he must elect a morally obedient,,Parllam‘ent. The French Foreign Office, dreading a. financial crash in, Parisuls' suggesting mediation; but it will in the end make a. mistake in threatening a people, who, at heart, believe there, is nothing strong in Europe except Great Britain." .. Ohio Bank Lost. 830,000. ' Cincinnati, March 7.—Sherwood S. Cunning, teller of the First National Bank, was arrested Saturday night for embezzling $30,000 of the bank’s funds. He was released on bonds, but later he ’ 1.31 gave himself up. His bondsmen desired. to be released from monsibiuty. 10—day or to-morrow. 'Mr. Decmcr said that while Mr. Wanamaker did not commit himself, he (Deemer) was of the opinion that he would accept the League’s request and become a candi- date for Governor. Cotton Workers’ Strike Hus Failed. Biddeford, Me, March 7.—The strik— ing operatives of the Pepperell and La- conia cotton mills, who went out seven weeks ago in resistence of a. 10 per cent. cut-down returned to work this morn- ing. Robert McArthur, agent of the two corporations, informed the men that he could make no promises, other than ,to assure them that the Pepper— ell and Laconia would not be the last of the New England mills to restore the old wages when .the cotton market im— proves.

Lake Cormorant, Miss, March IVill Jones, a negro, was lynched. last night for maltreating a. colored woman yesterday. The mob met the officers while they were transferring the negro for safekeeping, and taking him from them, dragged him to a. telephone pole near by, where his body was left swing- ing in the moonlight. The negro was tried a week ago for a similar offense, but the evidence was not sufficient to convict him‘. ,— 1.— Over 900 People Start for Alaska.

Cavallotti, Italian Poet and‘Statesman," the Victim. Rome, March 7.-Signor. Folice Ca'rio Emanuele Cavallottl.‘ poet, dramatist, publicist and the well-known Radical member of the Chamber of Deputies for Corte-Olona, was killed yesterday afternoon in a duel with swords with Signor Macola, member of the Chamber of Deputies and editor of the Gazzette di Venezia. The encounter was the outcome of an article in the columns of the Milan Se- colo and the Gazzetti di Venezia. It took place at an unfrequented spot out- side the Porta Maggiore. Senor Macola’s seconds were the Dep— uties Signor Guido Fusinato, a. profes- sor at the University of Turin and member for Foltre, and Signor Carlo Donati, advocate and member for Lon- igo. Signor Cavallotti’s seconds were Signor Bizzoni, the publicist. and Sig- nor Tassi,’member of the Chamber of Deputies. The news on reaching the city caused a. great sensation. Numerous Deputies and friends hurried to the spot, and there is universal regret over the tragic end of Cavallotti. Shortly before .the meeting Signor Cavallotti seemed in excellent spirits and even joked with his seconds. When the word was given he attacked his op- ponent vigorously. The first two engagements Were with- out result, but in the third Signor Cav- allotti received a thrust in the throat that severed his jugular. At first it was thought he was only slightly in- jured, but the gravity of the wound was soon perceived on his putting his hand to his mouth. He withdrew it covered with blood, and could not utter a‘word. The doctors and his seconds carried him to Zellino and laid him on a bed in the home of the Countess Celleres. Tracheotomy was performed and arti- ficial breathing attempted, "but all ef- forts were useless. Signor Cavallotti expired in ten minutes without speak- ing again. Signor Macola. did not re- ceive a scratch. Signor Folice Carlo Emanuele Caval- lot'ti, who was a. member of a family originally Venetian, was born at Milan on November 6, 1842. When eighteen years old, already noted for his poetry breathing hatred of Austria. He made his debut as a. dramatic writer and a soldier, into the struggle for Italian independence, taking part in various expeditions and publishing in the newspapers of the day articles and verses whose revolutionary audac- ‘ ity attracted wide attention. HUGH J. JEWIETT DEAD. The Famous Railroad Financier Passes Away at Augusta, Ga. New York, March 7.—Hugh J. Jew- ett, one of the best known railroad men in the country, died at the Hotel Bon Air Augusta, Ga., yesterday. For the last six years he has been in poor health. Born at Deer Creek, hid, in 1818, Hugh J. Jewett studied law and was admitted to the bar. He settled in St. Clairsville—two or three hours’ ride from Wheeling. He was married there and made a falure of his venture in politics. When his wife died he moved to Zanesville, 0. His manners were pleasant, his character amiable, his ad- dress gentle and he became a. good deal of a. social favorite. He married a second time. From a financial point of View, :1 vol- ume would hardly do justice to Mr. Jewett’s career. His appointment to the receivership ofthe Erie Railroad after it had been run in the mire and bankrupted through the machinations of schemers and his management of. that property as receiver and president, whereby he put it again on its feet and restored it to the favorable notice of railway investors, constitute his most distinguished achievement. Every one interested in such matters recalls the scandalous use for which the property 11 as employed through a. series of years. A Far Reaching Argo. “ ' Mis tah Hayfoot—Get off mah feet, niggah!
