New YortK, March 3. A special to tho Herald from Madrid says: Premier Canovas last night made tho following statement: "I cannot under stand how some people in tho United States have got it into their minds that we, or rather General Woyler, is carry ing on war in Cuba on Inhuman lines. It is all false. Nothing more than a tissuo of falsehoods. 1 venture to state that up to tho present no American con sul has been ahlo to notify his govern ment of a single instanco ot cruelty on Weyler's part, for tho simple reason that no such thing occurs. "As a matter of fact, I havo given the most stringent orders that Woyler is to bo most humane. No inhumanities or cruelties have been perpetrated at nil The latter are all the imagination of friends of Cuba in the United States Look at General Woylor's proclamation, It is nothing more than what obtains Ikj twren riyilized nations when at war with ono another, as for instance, in the Franco-German war. As a matter of fact, the Germans shot spies because the latter did not carry on the war as recog nized ou acknowledged lines; that is. by fighting face to face with the enemy. As is natural, we do tho same wiih spies in Cuba, simply because the latter do not fight according to the maxims of war as it is recognized by civilized nations. Is there any cruelty in this? It Is, I admit, inhuman, but then, all warfare is inhu u. Then, uain.I read of the sympathy exuresso by Unlteu dates senators lor poor Cuban insurgents. How ridiculous! And how about the poor white inhabit ants of Cuba, Spanish BubjecU, whoso whole interests are bound up in the island? Is there no sympathy for them? Surely tho litter deserve it more than the former. "I consider Spain has been itrcssly ca'.uminated, and I venture to think that the self-respecting, nonjingo portion of tho United States electorate are of the sanio opinion. You see yourself what stringent measures I have adopted to protect the persons of representatives of friendly powers in Madrid, and, indeed, through out Spun, i will not allow any dis turbance of tho public peace, because I feel convinced-tbat, in spite of what has occurred, tho practical portion of the community of the United Stated will recognize the impossibili:y of recog nizing the Cuban insurgents as belliger enU. The indignation throughout Spain is immense, but I shall keep it in bounds.

Mrs. Cody's Body Found. Tacoma, March 2. Ttie remains ot Mr?. Arthur Cody of Chicago, were found today by her father, P. H. Good rich, and A. R. Upright. They had been making a systematic search of the brush along the bluff in the northern part of the city, and had reached the foot of North Ninth street, when Mr. Goodrich came across a neatly rolled bundle, which he instantly recognized as the shawl and cloak his daughter wore the day she dis appeared. With a moan of anguish he fell forward upon his facf , utterly over come with grief. His companion heard tho sound and hastened to bis side. ho came up he caught sight ol the cloth' ing and at once knew that the long search was at an end. Forty feet away, ou a side trail leading from the one be was following, the re mains of Mrs. Cody were found, in very good state of preservation, consider ing that they had been exposed for 31 days, since January 31, the day of her disappearance. Mrs. Cody had committed suicide while temporarily insane. The fatal bullet en tered between the eighth and nitith ribs, piercing tbe lower portion of the heart. The weapon used was the cheap revolver sho purchased the day she disappeared. Mr. Cody reached San Francisco to day, and will start back hero tomorrow. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder Awirdtd Cold Metlil MUwin'cr .Filr, 'Jin FrancUca. British Opinion. London, March 3. The relations be tween tbe United states and fepain over the Cuban question continue to occupy a large share of attention, and newspapers of all classes comment upon the situa tion. The St. James' Gazette remarks: "If Spain and the United States go to war it do s not follow that the Americans will have euch a mere walkover as they antic ipate. The price of American stocks tells its own tale. American commerce would be a fine bait for Spanish priva teers, and the capture of Cuba would hardly compensate for such damage. American commerce would feel the re sults, not only on the Atlantic, but in European waters. "Tho prospect of Spanish privateers recalls that another of America's political chicks is come home to roost. Spain followed America's example in refusing to recognize the abolition of privateers. Thus not even the slight obstacle of in ternational agreement exists to prevent tho Spaniards from equipping a swarm of steamers to prey upon American ship- pine, which tho Americans threaten to do to the British if they are ever at war with tho United States." Tbe editorial of the limes says: "Somo people might pronounce Mr, Hitt's resolution more offensive and bellicose than tho senate's but tho point is of little consequence, considering tho largeness of the majorities and the rapid ity with which tlio resolution was adopted, almost amounting to precipi taucy. Our correspondent ascribes this haste to the Barcelona disturbances, but Spain apologized for theso with a prorap titude worthy of n Chamberlain.

It iB reported here today that General Barateri. commander of the Italian forces in Africa, who suf-1 fered another severe reverse at tbe hands of tbe Rhoans, while advancing on Ab- bararima, was wounded. The Italian army waB divided into three columns un der Generals Albertone, Arimondi and Darbormida, with a brigade nndcr Gen eral Kmena, as a reserve. The Italians captured the passes leading to Adowa, the capital of Tigre. General .Albert ono's column then ad vanced on Abbacarima. It was won af terwards attacked by the Rboan army and compelled to retreat. Tbe other col umns were unable to render him assist anco, as they were shortly afterwards en gaged in defending themselves against larce numbers, and eventually retired behind Beliesa. According to correspondents in Africa of the People Romano, half the Italian artillery and ammunition and provisions were lost. Other advices report 2000 Italian sol diers killed, and among them Generals Albertone and Darbormida. This evening it is rumored that Gen eral Barateri, when ho became aware of the full extent of disaster to his successor shot himself. At the ministry of war this was discredited. As evening wore on and the worst news of the Italian de feat was confirmed, tho inhabitants gave way to rage against tue government. Bands of young men began parading the streets shouting, "Down with Crispil" but were promptly dispersed by tho po lice All troops throughout tho city were placed under arms and patrols of mounted gendarmes were ordered to tbe leading thoroughfares. It is stated that the ministry has de cided to resign as the result of a popular clamor arising from the recent defeat of tho Italian forces in Abysinnia. All Italy Excited. Rome, March, 4. The kingdom of Italy today is filled with oxcilement, grief and anger almost beyond de:cript- ion. Every dispatch from Massowah adds to the gravity of tho disaster to the Italian army at Adowa, Alsuie. When the first news of General Barateri's de feat reached the city, report bad it that only 5C0 men had ben killed. Then yesterday alternoon tbe number ran up to 3000 killed, with 00 pieces ol artillery captured. This morning's dispatches place the number of killed in the battle and the long harassing retreat, which followed, at 5000. It is believed not even these figures tell the full extent of the disaster. No mention Lis made of the wounded, and there is good reason, based on stor ies of recent Italian defeats by Abyssini- ans, to .believe those who leli wounded during tbe retreat of over 50 miles met a more horrible fate than those killed on the spot. ihrougbout tbe mgbt tbe garrison here was kept under arms, and mounted patrols traversed the principal Btreets Tbe Btreets were filled with people until daybreak, and after early morning every public place was crowded with excited men and women. Several disturbances which called for police interference oc curred today, and indications are that the people arc assuming a most threat ening attitude, not only in Rome but throughout Italy. Demonstrations against Criapi's ministry and even against the crown are reported from the provinces, in spite of tbe fact that the authorities were straining every nerve to suppress all alarming newp. Later in tbo day news Irom tbe prov inces became more alarming. It was stated that in a number of places the po lice were unablo to cope with the popu lace, and troops had to be called on to restore order. The soldiers, however, appear to have been as helpless as the police, and in several places tho crowds were fired upon. At Milan tbe troops, after vainly try- iug to disperse a mob, were obliged to fire. One man was killed and several wounded. This increased the excite ment. Tho trcops were stoned and had to clear the public square at the point of the bayonet. Dispatches from Venice say last night a crowd assembled at Plaza St. Mark, and speeches were made 'condemning the manner in which the Abyssinian campaign had been conducted, and calling upon the military authorities to try General Barateri by court-martial There was another popular demonstra tion against tlie government this morn ing, and the mob was only dispersed by the "police with the greatest difficulty alter a number of arrests had been made. At Padua today a mob marched brougli tlie streets Hooting tlie govern ment officials and crvinir for the down fall of the Crispi ministry. At Verona there was a similar demon stration. It is believed that nothing short of the downfall of Scnor Crispi and the dispatch of strong reinforcements to Africa will satisfy tho public clamor. Shortly lefore noon it was announced that General Barateri had been recalled to Rome, and his conduct of the present campaign and his defeat at Adowa will be inquired into. Socialists declare the general should be shot as an example to others, and the minister of war should share his fate. The army reserves of 1S72, numbering about SO.000 men, are being call&l to the standard, but it is feared there will be serious rioting when the men muster in large bodies. News of the death of Generals Aller tone and Dabormida has been confirmed It is believed over 500 Italian officers of lesser rank have been slain. RIDDLE.
