Some years ago Miss Julia Adler kept company and corresponded with Henry Tillenburg. After Miss Adler’s marriage to R. Barrati, a stock borker, Tillenburg is said to have shown her letters to Cummings. Both Tillenburg and Cummings were nearly penniless, and formed a plan to extort money from Mrs. Barrati by means of the letters. The dates were changed to make them appear to have been written after her marriage. Then Cummings demanded »50 apiece for the letters, threatening to show them to Mr. Barrati, in case of her refusal. I d this way »40 was secured, »10 at a time. CummiDgs gave the iady a part of one of the letters in return. Finally, Mrs. Barrati told her husband. The arrest of Cummings and Tillenbnrg followed.

Spain Is Soon to Cease Hos tilities. THE WAR IS ALM O ST OVER island Will lie Hurreudered to th« Io» urgent«—Spain Cannot Fxpeot to Hold Both Cuba aud the Philippines Cadiz, Oct. 19.— If Spain has not put down the insurrection in Cuba by the 1 st of March, it is the intention of the government to give up the struggle aud let the island go. Tne significance of this statement, coming direct from an officer of rank iu the Spanish army, within the week, must certainly be re garded as of do little importance. The above determination is an open secret among those who are close to the gov ernment, and it is said that the policy is being adopted of exaggerating the magnitude of the trouble in the P hil ippine islands with u view of preparing the people for the ultimate design of letting Cuba go. By way of further corroboration of this estimate of the sitnation it may be remarked that white Spain is sending more than 200,000 troops to Cnba, who are in the main very young and undis ciplined, she is carefully keeping her 80.000 well-disciplined and eflfioient soldiers who may be available in case of an outbreak at home. She is also keeping in Spanish waters twelve war ships which are ready for sea, and which oonld be of great service in Cuban waters in aiding the United States in that police work which she now asks that country to do for her. W. G. Foster, manager of the East ern Telegraph Company here, speaking of the situation, said: "There iB no question that the gov ernment is trying to use the Philippine islands troubles to distract the people's attention from Cnba. There is no donbt that Spain intends to do her utmost to crash the Cuban insnrreotion between now and March. Failing in that, I am informed that she w ill give up the struggle. “ An important issne is the fact that Cuba has a debt of »500,000,000, and that if Spain puts down the insurrec tion, Cnba w ill have to pay that debt, whereas if Cuba win?, the payment of that debt w ill fall on Spain, who con tracted it on behalf of Cuba. Natur ally the planters who have been driven from the half-ruined plantations, how ever loyal they may appear to be to Spain, really want to see the Cubans succeed, as iu that case they would not be taxed by Spain to pay the interest on the debt, aud oould then start again under more favorable auspioes. "Meanwhile every one is talking about Cuba, and little is said of the Phillipine islands, although the latter comprises 115,000 square miles, against 49.000 for Cuba. In point of popula tion the Phillipines hare 5,636,000 as against 2,276,000 for Cnha and Porto Rico combined. 1 am satisfied that Spain w ill either have won in Cnba by Maroh 1 next or have given up the struggel. ” Governor Abril, governor of the provinoe of Cadiz, was next inter viewed. In substance he said that Cleveland had not done much fer Spain, and be did Dot see how a ohange in administration coaid make matters worse, nnle.se the independence of Cuba should be acknowledged. He says he does not oontemplate a war between Spain and the United States. The gov ernor would not say that a great Cuban victory would precipitate trouble in Spain, and did not think that such an event was likely to take plaoe. As to the effect of the war npon Cnba the governor did not seem to think it bad been very grave. He added that the Compana Transatlan* tica Española was almost altogether oo- oupied in transporting government troops and munitions of war, so that there naturally bad been no falling off iD its traffic.
