A WARNING TO SPAIN. Two Note Cabled by lh President Minliter Woodford. Madrid, March 29. President Mo Kinley has cabled two notes to Spain through Minister Woodford. Onedeali with the Maine, the other with Presi dent McKinley's plan of humanitarian intervention in the Cuban war. Both notea are expressed in strong, firm lan guage, without a suggestion of a threat. They are, perhaps, raeiely preliminary. For the destruction of the Maine, the president demands no indemnity, fie merely acquaints the Madrid gov ernment with the fact that the court of inquiry finds that the Bhip was blown up in Havana harbor by an external agency and that nothing but a mine or torpedo of the largest sie oould have wrought the destruction. The presi-. dent submits the facts to the Spanish government, and waits a reply. Mr. Woodford did not even demand an early response. As to the war in Cuba, President McEinley advised the Spanish govern ment in the politest terms that the time is fast drawing near when the United States would be compelled to act upon the warning so often given to Spain since the struggle in Cnba began. The president clearly intimated that the war in Cuba must cease, but he fixes no date. The note makes the question of Cuban intervention para mount to the Maine case, which the president's memorandum refers ' to merely as a lamentable incident. The issues and problems of the Cuban war, the United States government now calls urgently to the attention of Spain, de claring that the conditions prevailing in Cuba, so near to the shores of the United States, have long been intoler able to the American people. Negotiation! to End the War. Washington, March 29. The de velopments of the day in the Cuban situation indicate progress in the nego tiations of this country and Spain look ing to the maintenance of peace, for the present at least. There is good au thority for saying that Spain's wish is to secure a cessation of hostilities in Cuba, rather than to engage in a war with the United States, and that it is more than probable that the negotia tions with the Sagasta ministry will take such a turn in the immediate future. The present Spanish minis try has expressed a pacific disposition from. the beginning, and the indica tions are strong now that it will avail itself of the good offices of the United States to the fullest extent that public opinion in Spain will allow in bring ing to an end the hostilities in Cnba. To what extent the United States may go in assisting Spain in her pres ent design of securing an armistice is not determined, but the conservative element. in the administration consider the manifestation of this desire on the part of Spain for even a temporary peace a direct result of President Mo Kinley's diplomacy, and they naturally are disposed to contend that the presi dent should be left free, for the present at least, to pursue a policy which prom ises much in the way of preventing war between this oountry and Spain; also of bringing to a close the hostilities in Cuba. Hence there will be au effort on the part of the peacefully inclined in congress to hold that body in check and to prevent inflammatory utterances thereuntil this promising diplomatic lead may be exploited. On the part of the administration it is stated that the development of the situation will not require a great length ot time, and hence there will be no ex tended delay. A policy has been fully determined upon by the president. It is to bring the Cuban war to a close. This will be accomplished by pointed interven tion, if necessary, but it is considered far preferable that the end should come as the result of peaceful negotiations than that it Bhould be accompanied by hostile demonstrations on the part of the'United States. Hence the disposi tion of the president is to give Spain an opportunity to secure an armistice with the Cubans and allow her a rea sonable time to come to an understand ing with the hostiles. It is stated that there is no abate ment of the president's intention to see that the war is terminated, and that it is closed on terms that will render the Cubans practically a free people. iriends ot the administration feel that the situation is very delicate, and j mucn will depend upon the course the Cubans may pursue. The Spanish Elections. Madrid, March 29. The elections for the popular branch of the cortes have passed quietly. The indications are that the government of - Senor Sa gasta will have an enormous majority, estimated at S00 of the 432 seats in the chamber. Disorders are apprehended at Bilboa, where the polling caused great excitement. The military judge at Bilboa issued a warrant for the ar rest of three socialist municipal coun cilors. One of them was taken into custody, but the other two escaped. Spain's Refusal. Berlin, March 29. The Madrid correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt says: "Spain will not only refuse to allow American interference in assist ing the suffering Cubans, but will de cline to pay indemnity, unless it is shown unmistakably that the Spanish authorities were responsible for the Maine explosion. If President McKin ley demands these two things, war is unavoidable." A Fund to Buy Warships. Madrid, March 29. The latest intel ligence from the United States has oc casioned a great patriotic movement throughout Spain. A large number of persons have announoed their intention to give up a day's pay for services in order to raise a fund to purchase war ships. A committee, over which the bishop of Madrid will preside, has been organized to receive the subscriptions. Crisis in Porto Eico. Madrid, March 29. An official note has been issued which says: Owing to the interruption of oable service to Porto Bico, the government has been without news until this morning, when the report . was confirmed of disagree ments among the liberal element in Porto Bioo. The old autonomist party, finding its interests affected in connec tion with tbe eleotions to the insular chamber, has published, a manifesto compromising to the union among the autonomists and to the very existence of tilt insular government. READY TO BUY LIBERTY. Cuban Would Welcome Such a Sola tium of the rroblera. New Vork, March 28. A special to the New York Tribune says: General Gomes, commander-in-chief of the Cuban army of liberation, reaffirms the willingness of the insurgents to pur chase independence by payment of a reasonable indemnity to Spain. Gen eral Gomes expresses the hoje that the price of Cuba's liberty may not neces sarily be war between the United States and Spain, and declares there can be no doubt as to the ultimate tri umph of the Cuban cause, even though the insurgents receive no outside aid. Tbe Spanish Version. Madrid, March 28. The report ot the Spanish board of inquiry into the loss of the Maine says emphatically that the explosion was of internal ori gin, that it is "scientifically and prac tically demonstrated that the explosion was internal." The United States minister, General Woodford, had a long conference this evening with the minister of foreign affairs, Senor Gullon. Absolute reti cence is observed as to what transpired. JOHN LEONARD HANGED. Murderer of Jacob Malqnist Pay tbe Death Penalty. Colfax, Wash., March 28. The legal execution of John Leonard for the mur der of Jacob Malquist, at Texas City, occurred this afternoon, in the presence of fully 1,000 people. Leonard was brought from the jail and ascended the scaffold steps unas sisted, at l:16o'clock. Father Kearns, at the request of Leonard, read a short final statement protesting his innocence of willful murder. At 1:21 o'clock Leonard Btepped on the trap and shook hands with the offi cers and reporters. At 1:24 a voice called out, "Good bye, Jack," and Leonard responded in full tones, "Good-bye, Charley." As the last word left his lips the trap was sprung, and Leonard dropped six feet, the body rebounded slightly and then hung stark; not a movement of the muscles being noticeable. The body hung 16 minutes, when he was pro nounced dead by the attending physi cians. Leonard on the scaffold, although showing nervousness, looked about at the surrounding crowd. The body was at once taken in charge by Father Kearns, and conveyed to the oemetery and funeral exercises held. CLERKS UNDER SUSPICION. Frauds on a Number of St. Paul Banks Recently I nearthed. Washington, March 28. Information reached the government through a number of banks at St. Paul that dur ing the past year and more these and other nearby banks have been made the victims of a colossal fraud through the suspected collusion of government clerks connected with the commission having in charge the improvements on the upper Mississippi river. Full de tails have not yet reached the govern ment, but the statements submitted by the banks indicate that (300,000 or more has been procured from them through fraudulent time checks for. services never performed. How the banks came to be imposed upon to the extent stated and why the checks have been withheld until this time, cannot even be conjectured. It is understood the banks will make a claim for reimbursement, but the law is said to be clearly against this conten tion. The government will begin a searching investigation into the whole matter STORM IN UNITED KINGDOM. Hurricane Sweeps the Coasts Causing Great Loss of Life and Property. London, March 28.

It is visible at about 4 ' o'clock in the morning. WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Trade Conditions In the Leading Cities of the World. The belief is pretty general now that Leiter will carry his deal straight through May, and that there will be no more money for the May short at Chi cago. There were those who felt in the month that the load would be too heavy for any mortal, and that Leiter would be glad to stop. There are those still who believe the bull campaign will wind up with a loss rather than a profit; but even these believe the loss will be taken abroad and that the Chicago campaign will be oloeed with a display .S 1 ..... .. I vi ureworKS ana all tne outward signs of triumph. There are clever "pit pro fessionals who are of the opinion the deal will run into July. No one can, in fact, ever foretell the end of these huge speculative operations. The weather is the most potent influence. It might make it possible for the whole bull line to be unloaded in advance of May 31, at a huge profit, or it might create such a bearish sentiment the world over as to finally make a loss abroad greatly in excess of any amount exacted from shorts at Chicago. In ternational politics will be a faotor; perhaps a very bullish, perhaps a very bearish one. War with Spain would hurt prices on its declaration, but would bull prices finally, and a peace ful eud, on the other hand, might jump prices on the first sentiment of relief, but result in a dull, bearish season later. It is not to be forgotten that contract wheat is being poured into the Chicago elevators at the rate of 700,000 bushels per week, and that this stream will be increased as the May delivery day approaches.
