Washington, Nov. 24. A dispatch
from Jack eonville, Fla., reciting a cipher
telegram received from Havana in which
it is stated that General Weyler was
driven to return to Havana through Tear,
ia discredited here. From the Spanieh
point of view it wopld be absurd for the
captain-general to place himself at the
head of troops and follow straggling
bands of insurgents from one cover 'to
another.

ring Sea claims commission to settle the
compensation the United States must
pay for the illegal seizure of sealers
opened yesterday morning, the visitors
present being Lieutenant -T3o7ernor
Dewdney and '" the' provincial cabinet.
Chandler P. Anderson of New York was
appointed joint secretary. After the
preliminaries, all rules for procedure
were agreed to by both the United
States and British commissioners, ex
cept one, which caused some courteous
debate between Hon. F.' Peters, Q. C,
senior counsel for Her Majesty, and Hon.
Don. M. Dickinson, 'senior counsel for
the United States. The British wanted
each care settled separately,' while the
United States wanted all of the 'British
caBea put in before the United btates
makes its defeiiBe. The decision was
given this morning in favor of the Brit
ish contention, and the 16 British
claims were then filed. Compensation
is asked in the total of $459,300, with in
terest from date of seizure at 7 per cent.

Three
the The Throats of Her
- . Children With a Razor.
Chehalis, Wash., Nov. 24. News of
a horrible tragedy that occured in the
east end of Lewis county was received
here this afternoon.. Mrs. A. R. Swen
yer, the wife of a farmer living near Ash
ford poetuffice, with a razor cut the
1 1) routs of her three children, one 5 years
old, one 3 years old and one 9 months
She then cut her own throat, using the
same razor. Her husband arrive4 short
y after, and was horrified to find his
family weltering in a pool ot blood. The
3-year old girl and the eldest one is ex
pected to die, hut the baby will live. The
mother did not succeed in killing herself ,
but her condition is precarious. .No de
tails of the tragedy are known except
those received by the coroner here in

for the mother's act. The coronar and
sheriff have gone to the scene, which

B'anna Don't Want a Cabinet Position.
Washington, Nov. 24. Senator Proc
tor is authority for the positive state
ment that Mark Hanna will not be a
member of McKinley's cabinet. The
senator is not only a close political, but
is also a warm- personal friend of Mark
Hanna. It was while talking over the
political eituation today that Senator
Proctor gave this interesting informa
tion concerning the political prospects of
Mr. Haryia.
According to senator Proctor, the
president-elect and many of his follow
ers will be delighted if Mr. Hanna would
consent to take a place in the cabinet.
Mr. Hanna, however, has no aspirations
n that direction, and it is useless to use
his name in connection with the cabinet.
Senator Proctor also took occasion to
wipe bis own name from tne cabinet
slate. He has enjoyed all the glory that
goes with a cabinet position, and he
would not relinquish bis seat in the sen
ate for the cabinet.
Army to
Aristocratic Tendency In the
be Reformed.
Paris, Nov. 24. M. Billot, minister of
war, in addressing a deputation of mili
tary editors on Monday, made a remark
able speech, in which he complained
the present system of dispensation and
exemptions in the army resulted in the
fact that 50 per cent of the men only
served with the colore in a single year.
These abuses, he said, gave ajdistinctly
anti-equity and aristocratic character to
the army, which is utterlv at variance
ith the republican idea, and which
must be amended. He was working ac
tively, he added, to this end, and also at
an important measure aiming at the
creatioii of army inspectorsjas an inter
mediary authority between the war min
ister and the commanders of the 20 army
corps.
These commanders, General Billot
said, must not be satraps, subject to no
rule but their good will and pleasure
Therefore he proposed to appoint a su
perior grade of inspectors, each having
under his command two or three army
corps, which they would command in
time of war.
Slave Traffic In the New Hebrides.
Sydney, N. S. W.t Nov. 24. Reports
have been received from New Hebrides
islands, lying west of Fiji, that the na
tives are being sold like sheep for from
6 to 10 per bead, and that many are
subjected to great cruelties. The New
Hebrides are- under joint Anglo-French
control. The New Hebrides Company
which has large interests in the islands
last year sent a deputation to Sir T. Mc
Ilwraith. the colonial treasurer of
Queensisland, complaining of this join
control, and suggesting that Sir W. Mc
Gregor, administrator of British New
Guinea, have jurisdiction over the New
Hebrides.' Sir T. Mcllwraith said in
reply that the only solution lay in the
annexation of the islands by iGreat
Britain or the estaohshment of a protec
torate over them.
There is a British high commissioner
of tbe West Pacific, who has jurisdiction
to settle disputes between British sub
jects living in these islands and others
The Anglo-French control was fixed by
a convention between Great Britain and
France October, 1887, in which it was
agreed that the protection of persons and
property in the new Hebrides should be
secured by means of a mixed com mis
sion composed of naval officers belong
ing to the English and French naval eta
tiona in the Pacific.

San FTmctsco" Latest Sensation.
San Fbancisco, Nov. 24 Judging
from appearances tonight, the people of
this city have gone-daft over the flying
machine which is alleged to have soared
through the heavens during the past few
nights. On every street corner down
town hundreds of people were gathered,
with heads thrown back, gazing at the
sky. Anything irom Jupiter to the
moon was picked out as an airship by
the credulous people, who stood looking
at one bf the planets until aching neck
and limbs made them desist. Early in
the evening a fire balloon went sailing
through tbe air, and the newspapers
were overwhelmed by telephone mes
sages from people in various parts of the
city who thought they bad discovered
the mysterious airship.

Spanish sources it is learned there is no
intention of dealing with the Competitor
prisoners in a harsh manner.
