ubatanco of the Frteilnt'e Recent
Not to ftpaln.
New York, Oct. 18. The Herald
publishes the following, based on high
uthoritT, which it claims is substan
tially the instructions issued by Presi
dent McKinley to Mitiister Woodford
to be presented to the Spanish queen:
None but the most kindly relations
exist between the present administra
tion and Spain, and as far as lies in the
power of the administration they will
continue. The belligerency resolution
which passed the senate at the last ses
sion of congress merely bore evidence
of the tremendous popular feeling
throughout this country in favor of
Cuba. The house, to be sure, voted
town the resolution passed by the sen
ate; but this was with a view to post
poning the issue and not doing anything
for the moment that could be construed
as hostile to Spain.
The house, like the senate, is strong
ly in sympatny with Cuba. This feel
ing of sympathy throughout the United
States will ntulonbtedly take shape as
soon as congress convenes, and it is
necessary for the president to communi
cate to congress such recommendations
as he deems best to make in regard to
Cuban affairs.
Under the circumstances, the gov
ernment of the Unitted States tenders
its best offices to mediate between
Spain and Cuba, atid it offers to medi
ate so as to bring the war to an end on
luch terms as will be honorable to both
parties. This government expresses
the hope that Spain will reply by the
end of October, so as to give the presi
dent a chance to report to congress by
the time it convenes.
The Herald also publishes the follow-
ing, which it claims details the real
circumstances which led to the down
fall of the old cabinet: j
Nearly all of the Spanish bonds had l
been floated in France, and the recent
loans were placed there, but the latest j
application for further loans Jiad not
been favorably responded to. The only j
means, therefore, of raising money waa !
through the Bank of Spain, through '
which application was made at the rate I
of 50,000 pesetas, or fl2,000,000 a
month, in order to carry on the war in
Cuba and the Philippine islands. The
Bank of Spain declined to make fur
ther advances to the government sev
eral weeks ago, and the cabinet there
upon removed the governor of the bank.
The recently appointed governor of the
bank thereupon tried to force upon the
bank committee, or board of directors
the application of the government for
additional loans, but his efforts failed.
This was followed by the determina
tion of the cabinet to take steps to re
duoe the interest rate on the govern
ment bonds of 5 to 6 per cent to 8
and 4 per cent respectively. Imme
diately the cabinet was deluged with
protests. Some of the objections oame
from persons h ifeVi in authority and in
a position to dictate terms to Spain.
The combined weight of conserva
tives in Spain, which embraced, as in
dicated, the bulk of the holders of Span
ish bonds, whose interest would be cut
in two, immediately answered this
proposition with the suggestion that
it would be far better to stop all war
expenses than to adopt such a radical
course. In fact many of the conserva
tives saiil it would be better to gain
anything in the way of indemnity
which Spain could obtain by the sacri
fice of sovereignty and accepting an
offer to grant liberty to Cuba, if it
could be brought about in a way that
wonld not be dishonorable to Spain.
The queen yielded to this, and the re
sult was the resignation of the old cabi
net and the calling upon Sagasta to
form a new one.
Their Aim Waa True.
Delta, Oot. 18. William Harald and
Under-Sherifl Kadford. of Siskivou
comity, were shot and killed and Dep-
uty Sheriff Stewart seriously wounded
this morning while the latter two were
attempting to arrest Harald for com
plicity in the robbery of the Yreka
and Fort Jones stage on September 26
last.
This morning Radford and Stewart
presented themselves at Harald'e house
and asked for Harald. The latter re
plied by opening fire upon the officers
with a big revolver. The first shot took
effect in Stewart's leg, while the second
bullet struck Eadford in the left breast,
killing'-him almost instantly. Stewart
then emptied his gun at Harald, who
fell mortally wounded. He died
ihortly afterwards.

Serious Acrl.lnit In Oliiclnuatl Opera
Houe-Tlir Were Killed.
Cincinnati, Oct. 18. Three persons
were killed and over SO others were
more or less seriously injured by the
falling of the dome of Robinson's
opera-house this evening.
About 8:45 o'clock, soon after the
raising of the ourtain at the perform
ance of "Dangers of a Great City,"
plastering began to fall from the dome
ceiling, 40 or 60 feet above the people
in the parquette. The house was wull
filled, but not crowded. The plaster
ing fell in small particles at first, but
enough to alarm some of the timid, who
retired.
A little later the plastering began to
shower down in great chunks. There
was a rush from the gallery, which was
l.ot verv well tilled. The balcony was
'sson emptied. Those In the dress circle
retired as promptly as possible, and,
; strange to snv, without apparent panic.
The crowding of thoce to the door ob
structed the passage of the people from
j the parquette, which accounts in a
measure for the number of oausalties.
I Nobody expected at the moment any
j other danger than from the falling plas
tering. I Suddenly, and with a great crash,
the great central truss of the ceiling,
80 feet long and 80 feet wide, came
' plunging down. The ends of it struck
: on the two gallery wings and doubled
it up in the center, sending down into
' the parquette a great scattering of
ioists and timberB. Nothing on the
I stage was harmed. There were moans
, from the injured, which, as often hap
pens, were loudest from those least
! hurt
The news spread rapidly, and there
was a rush of patrol wauons and firemen
!o the scene. The salvage corps, with
j ,ts wagon, was fin-t on the ground, and
. it was followed by the police patrol
' waeone. which carried the injured to
! the Cincinnati hospital.
The list thus far showed three dead,
j 5ve dangerously if not fatally wounded,
! ind 26 more or less seriously injured.
' In addition to these, a large number,
1 probably 35 or 30, were bo Blightly in
ured as to be able to walk homo.
Of the seriously injured at the
hospital, several will suffer amputation
)f limbs, yet every one is refusing to
mbmit to the operation. A score of
lurgeons volunteered their assistance to
I the hospitals oorps. A sufficient num
ber was accepted

High-Water Mark In the Fevev-8trlrken
City.
New Orleans, Oct. 18. Fever cases
! ran op rapidly today. By 10 o'clock
' there had been 17 cases reported, and
by 6 o'clock 44, so that early in the
1 Bvenine the prospects were excellent
that this dav would show the high
water mark. There were three deaths.
I An excellent feature of the situation,
however, is that recoveries and dis
! jharges of patients are numerous. This
, is the 40th day of the fever, and the
1 total number of recoveries exceeded the
total number of cases now under treat
ment, showing the success which local
physicians are meeting with in treating
cases.
The weather is a trifle cooler this
evening, but is still warm enough to
rapidly develop cases.
I Douglas Bolto, a negro leader, was
lynched at a small settlement on Bayou
Barteria, about 15 miles from this city.
; His offense was running the quarantine
gauntlet.
I The Knights of Honor have organized
a committee and notified the grand ofn-
, cers that they are prepared to look after
any member of the order that may be
wiourninir in this city pending the pre
vailing fever, so tlat fraternal care and
attention may be accorded such mem-
: bers as may become afflicted.
Down an Embankment.
St. Louis, Oct. 18. A special to the
Republic from Selma, Ala., says: A
horrible accident occurred on the Mo-
I bile & Birmingham road, near Mill
house, 20 miles south of ' this city, at
2:80 this afternoon, the engineer and
fireman being killed, and several per
sons wounded. The dead are: Ollie
Munn, engineer, and Jerry Codd, fire
man. The injured are: J. E. Broad-
1 Btreet, conductor,and Quarantine Officer
Newman.
I While approaching Millhouse, the
train was running 20 miles an hour.
I Without a moment's warning, an:
from some inexplicable cause, the truck
of the tender jumped the track, cans
ing the whole train to go down a 12-
foot embankment. The engineer lived
until evening, dying in terrible agony
Horseless Brewery Wagons.
St. Louis, Oct. 18. Anton Steuver,
president of a local brewing company,
lays that in a few days the big brewery
wagons will be propelled by gasoline
engines instead of horses. Herbert
Mulherren. a voung man of this city, is
the inventor of the engine, which
weighs only 800 pounds and which will
run 10 hours on five gallons of gasoline,
' which can be bought for five cents per
gallon. No engineer is required, and it
is seit-oiung. ine gearing can oe re
versed and the wagon suddenly stopped
or instantly backed without stopping
the entrine. The 800-nound machine
will furnish i4 horse-power. It will
be a great saving to
concerns using a
number of horses.

there was an excellent basis to support
the claim for the union of metals, and
that the ultimate solution of the prob
lem waa an achievement science expects.

Unique Honor to a Woman.
The only woman who ever received
the freedom of a Scotch city is Miss
Jessie McKie, of Dumfries, who re
ceived this honor in company with Mr.
Balfour, farst lord of the treasury, from
the mayor of her town. This signal
distinction has been bestowed on her as
a mark of the respect and gratitude of
her fellow citizens for her efforts to-
improve and beautify the town of Dum
fries. As there are only two other

Miss Lettice llbert, who has this
year obtained a nrst-olass in the Ux-
ford final-honors sohool of modem his
tory, is a daughter of Sir Courtenay

New Electric Locomotive.
A new eleotrio locomotive, the Fusee
(Rocket), has been turned out by the
Cail Works for the Pans-Havre line,
says the New Vork Sun. It can draw
600 tons at the rate of 80 miles an
honr, 200 tons at 66 miles an hour, and
without any load can make 76 miles an
hour. The locomotive weighs 126 tons
and its tender 50 tons. It is practical
ly a stationary steam engine of 1,400
horse-power, setting in motion the elec
tro-magnets that drive the dynamos.

beat conductors he ever had, and they
were not members of the football eloven
at that.
