THREE STORIES PUT ;T0 FLIGHT
No Truth in Matomaa Arrest, Over
tures to France, and Especially
Olney's Negotiations
Madrid, Dec. 29. It is officially de
nied that there is any truth in bd item
published in a paper that the United
States consulate at Cardenas, province
of Matanzas, Cuba, had been twice at
tacked, and the shield torn from the
door, in spite of the efforts of the local
authorities to protect the consulate. An
emphatic denial is also officially given to
the statement today in the London
Chronicle that there was reason to be
lieve that the French foreign office has
been sounded in regard to Cuba in an
anti-American sense.
GOING TO THEIK BBjTING PLACE.
Kate Field's Ashes are Speeding Rapidly
Eastward.
San Francisco, Dec. 29. Kate Field's
ashes are spaeding eastward in charge of
General Chailes Taylor, proprietor of the
Boston Globe. The last remains of the
celebrated woman litterateur, editor and
jonrnalist are encased and locked in' a
small cylindrical-shaped copper casket.
There is no inscription on the shining
surface of the improvised urn. Passing
over the top of the plain cover and
throngh three little clasps, one on cover
and one on each side, is a narrow laven
der ribbon to which 13 attached a card
bearing the customary record from the
crematory, together with the name and
date. The ends of the ribbon are fast
ened together below the card by a disc of
black sealing wax, upon which is the let
tered impress of the Odd Fellows' cre
matory. A very little brass padlock
clasped through staples holds the cover
securely in place. ,
All that is earthly of the woman who
wrote fearlessly and wrote well is con
tained in that case, probably nine inches
in height and six inches in diameter.
General Taylor, the custodian of the
sacred cylinder, left last night for Chica
go. He will deliver the urn to Editor
Kohlsaat, of the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
who as an old friend of the deceased,
purposes to see that the remains, accord
iDg to Miss Field's wish, are interred at
Mount Auburn cemetary, New York.

Horrible Suicide of an Engineer's For
mer Wife.
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 29. Ella
Eager, whose body, torn and dismem
bered, was found on the road of the
Sort Line in this city, committed suicide
by throwing herself under the wheels of
the locomotive which her husband, En
gineer Fred Eager, was running. The
couple had quarreled two weeks before
and bad separated. The wife grew
moody over ber misfortune, and the
neighbors say that she often remarked
that she wished she was dead.
At 6 o'clock in the evening she put on
her things and went out. She went to
the station and her husband saw ber
there just as he had come for duty,
ready to make his run- to New London
He did not appear . anxious to see bis
wife, and it is supposed that Mrs.
Eager, noticing his indifference, became
desperate and resolved on suicide.
The woman walked away from the
depot and followed a route along the
railroad track. Her husband's train
started at 6 :55. At that hour she was a
few hundred yards from the depot. The

tea if he or she knew the
difference in tea.

train came on with increasing speed and
achieved rapid momentum when it came
to Mrs. Eager.' To carry out her re
solve was the work of an instant.
After keing killed, ber body was car
ried along for 1000 yerds, when it was
caught in a frog of the track and thrown
to one side. The husband sped away on
bis engine, little thinking of what the
machinery under his feet had done.
SOME TRUTH IN IT.
Mediation With Spain la Progressing
Keasoorbly Well.
Washington, Dec. 5:9. From official
sources denial is made that the Spanish
premier, Canovas, has sent to Secretary
Olney a communication accepting the
medition of the United States in carry-
out autonomy for Cuba. It is said no
such letter has been sent, nor has. any
thing of such a nature passed ' through
the Spanish officials here. Negotiations
toward home rule have proceeded for
some months and the last phase of these
negotiations indicated enlargement of the
home rule laws adopted by the Spanish
cortes last year, but not put in execu
tion. Tbe arrangements embrace the
election of tbe entire Cuban congress, in
stead of a mixed congress of 15 elected
members and 15 appointed by the queen
regent, and also a complete control of
Cuba on her tariff question. The latest
statement regarding Spain's intention
with respect to the pacification of Cuba
therefore deals with the past phases of
them, Spain having decided on a consid
erably more liberal scheme of . reforms
than the old, to which tbe latest publi
cation on the subject has reference. As
yet, however, the negotiations with re
spect to the enlarged reforms are tenta
tive. A draft of them has not been re
ceived as yet at Washington,-and the in
formation on them is of a general nature,
The Bog Still Slides.
Dublin, Dec. 29. During the past
night and this morning the bog elide on
Castle island, county Kerry, 'continued
unchecked, a copious rainfall helping tbe
movement. That mass of bogs is a mile
and a half wide, roars like the ocean
carries away bridges and roads, destroy
ing bouses and farms, sweeping through
Flesk valley and emptying the peat, car
caases of cows, sheep and donkeys and
debris of bouses into Lake Killarney.
People living in the direction in which
tbe bog slide is coming have fled and the
police are searching for bodies. Lord
Ken mare has caused a cordion of guards
to be drawn around the slide to prevent
loss of life. Great excitement prevails
in the vicinity and all houses are open
to receive the hundreds of people' who
were rendered homeless.
Sale of the Oregon Short Line..
New York, Dec. 29. A purchasing
committee representing the reorganiza
tion committee of the Oregon Short
Line, will buy in the property and in
terests of the bond-holders at Salt Lake
City at tbe sale on January 9, under de
cree of the court. The transfer will take
the line ont of the Union Pacific system
The receiver of the Union Pacific will at
tend the sale and turn over the accounts
of tbe Short Line and any balance in its
favor to tbe management of the new cor
poration. The court is expected to
authorize the payment in January of the
interest on the Union Pacific firsts and
7 per cent bonds.
Our Rival on the Pacific.
Washington Dec. 29. Japan has
larger carrying trade on the Pacific than
the United States, and Americans who
are near enough to watch the shifting
scenes in this new and rapidly develop
ing contest for commercial eupremary
find little matter for pride in present
tendencies.
This is the statement of United States
Consul Beli, of Sydney, contained in his
report to the state department upon the
opening of the new Japanese steamship
line between Yokabama and Australia.
