H Is not doubted ntnong ofllclals that the basis of the Spanish reply to Mr. Woodford's note will be the charge that the United States has not ob served Iho requirements of International law In the matter of preventing filibustering. In this case the State department will have sonio pertinent ficts to present , which will completely alienate from Spain any sym pathy that It niry havu attracted from othr Uuropean nations on that ; > corc. U IF assorted positively th.it In no single case win re the Spanish authorities have ' "Drought to i lie attention of our government the fact thai an IlloR.il Expedition was about to s-tart from our shores for Cuba , has It neg lected to UBO all the means permitted 'by oiii laws lo prevent the start. It has been no indulgent In this respect as .to accept statements fiom the Spanish olllclals not ac companied by the facts , but mere suggestions that tncy had rtasm to believe that an expe dition was formed. In several c-ii-t's where our government has proceeded to lengths In re- stra'ut ' of American commerce on Insulllclcnt evidence furnished by the Spanish govern ment the action has resulted In the prefer ence of largo claims by American ship own ers for Illegal detention of their ships. COST OP PATROL. Tl-cn the cost o [ maintaining the patrol has been very great. Every time the State department lias been obliged to call upon a collector nt a port the result has been a heavy bill of expenses for tugs , special of ficers and other charges , while the attorney general's olllce anJ. In fact most of the exec utive departments have been put to more or less trouble and expense. The Navy depart ment , especially , lies been embarrassed , owing to the necessity for dlvc > tlng vessels from other places for the disagreeable Flor ida patrol. One olllcial" estimated the ex pense to 'which the United States has been put to protect the Cuban coast for Spain at about $2.000,000. This Is probably a largo estimate , but one naval olllcer , who Is thor oughly cognizant of the strain put on the department by the patrol , stated that It would really be cheaper for the United Stales to send a Hoot to Cuba ami , blockade the coast there against coming filibusters ' than to try to stop them on our own exten sive coast line. DUB DILIGENCE SHOWN. Altogether , the olllclals here arc confident of their ability to show that the government lias more than compiled with the require ments of International law , which was laid down In the Alabama arbitration that a "nation use due diligence" to prevent hos- tllo cxpcdltiors. 0i this phase the corre- tponder..co ! may bo kept allvo until congress inectn , but It Is expected that unless some Kiiggtstlons by Minister Wcodford Interfere , the pcrsldent will refer the entire matter to congress and avail Its action. Up to tlio close of office hours today Spain's reply on the Cuban question had not reached the president or the State department. It was stated In OUIT quarters that the answer lad not been delivered to Minister \Vootlford up lo today. It has been approved by the cabinet , however , jnd is to be communlcuieu to Minister Woodford late today or tomorrow DENIAL OF A HUMOR. A denial was made l > u authoritative source thut Minister Dupuy de Lome had in timated to the State department that Spain would resort to the scorch and seizure 01 suspected American vessels on the Ivlgh secc > If filibustering expeditions continued to leave this eouiury. The report , It is believed grew out of visits mr.do by the minister to the State department last Monday and Thurs day. All the visits called the attention of the olllclals to the circumstances of the de parture of the filibuster Silver Heel aftci the authorities were put In possession of o * pllcit Information of the plans of the veFsel Regret was expressed by the minister at IhU occurrence , as It was felt that It would cieate a bad Impression at Madrid at a tlmo whet the government was maturing Its policy Hejonj tins the minister made no referencu to .retaliation on Americans or to searches on tha high seas. H Is suld a prerequisite to mien action would bo an announcement by Spain of a blockade of all the ports of Cuba , but no steps along such a radical line luvo been proposed so far. DIPLOMATIC PROCEDURE. The dii.ilomatlc procedure in connection with Ppatn's reply to the Woodford note Is that It will be communk-ated to him by the minister of foreign affairs at Madrid. H will not bo sent to Minister Dupuy de I omo. is it 1s not an exchange of notes be- < woon the State department and the govren- jncnt of Spain. As intimations have bcon made that In structions to Minister Woodfonl would be nude public at Madrid , the statement wat iiiadu by officials that no publication of UK Instructions bororo the assemblage of con gress will bo approved by the United States and without this approval it would be con trary to usunges for the Madrid authorities to make public the corretondonce. TAYLOR'S IDEAS. KH\V YORK. Oct. 25. Hannls Taylor , for the last four years American minister to Spain and who has juet returned from Mud- rid , Is about to address an elaborate com munication to the people of the United States on the Cuban question. Ho has reichoi ! the conviction that Spanish statcmaiibhlp Is 1m potent to solve this problem and ho feels It to bu hl duty to lay before hl country men hlB toMlmony upon the whole ttubjoct mutter In the hope that It may aid them in taking WBO | and just action. In his com munication , which will be published In the November number of the North American Review , ho reviews the matter from every standpoint , basing his statements upon the observations which ho mode In the course of lilv negotiations with the Spanish gov ernment , la Euwiulug up tlio situation ko a plan whereby the United States may speedily bring the Cuban wnr to an end. WOODPORD RECEIVES REPLY. LONDON , Oct. 20. The Madrid correspondent pendent of the Standard , telegraphing yes terday ( Monday ) siyo : United States Minister Woodford received Spain's reply today ( Monday ) . It Is said to bo n document of over thirty pages. The Spanish papers assert that the government will not send a note to the European powers on tlio question until events compel. I un- drrotand that this rumor must be received with caution , as when the Idea of a mem orandum was first mooted by Scnor Canovos and the duke of Tttuan It had to be iibarv. doned under the peremptory representa tions of American diplomacy. "Since then the powers , though very j friendly , have shown no disposition to any thing more than platonlc sympathy. Klnan- clil circles In Spain arc more anxious than political circles. The latter Kcem to expect ' that the United Statra will hesitate when they see Spain Is In carnrot. " I DAMiKlt INVITI I r.VITlit ) STATUS. London Times Pcnr . Thin Country Will I'l-roliilliilo n ( > | NN. I LONDON , Oct. 20. The Times , after re marking editorially this morning that the real danger Is that America will take some step to preclultato a crisis , says : "General Woodford's note , like other paper * cmaniting from Washington , cannot be construed by , 1 the ordinary rules applicable to diplomatic cornvipomlenw. This Is fortunate , Inasmuch as It contains expressions which , If they ! came from a European chancellery , must bo' ' Interpreted as menacing war. Hut It Is tin- ' ortunato because It maki-a the meaning of he note ambiguous that no clear intlnun- ' lon Is given as to the result of refusal to cccilo to the American demands. The note nhounds In expressions of friendship and good will toward Train , but while It apolo gizes for the earnest and positive nature of he language tired on the ground that It Is leslrablo to prevent misunderstandings be- wcen two nations , the- language , In fact , acks the precision which la usually ex- lujted in documents of this kind. "There Is the distinct statement that \merlcan Interests are suffering and that an attitude of neutrality cannot be pro- ouyed Indefinitely. There Is mention of the concurrent resolution of the two houses of congress last year , of the recent resolution of the senate and of agitation tn the United States. There Is an assurance that pub- lu opinion isow demands recognition of the nsurgents as belligerents. "In three circumstances It Is suggested that the Spanish government shou'.d con sider whether It Is not time to terminate the war by proposals consistent with lla dignity iinl with the Interests of Cuba. To this end the government nt Washington makes tender of Its good offices and calls upon the Spanish government within the present month to formulate definite proposals by which that tender may be rendered effective or to give satisfactory assurances that the war will be lirought to a speedy end. "Spain appears to prefer to lose Cuba In war she foresees wfll be disastrous to lici rather than to surrender what she regards as Just and right In deference to menace. It .s n foolish choice , but the choice cf a nation. 0i : the other hand , it President McKlnley and his advisers are really animated by the friendly sentiments they profess they may fairly consent to the modest demand of the Sagasta cabinet for a reasonable period to settle the thorny problem handed down by their predecessors. If this demand Is re fused all Spaniards will arrive at the con clusion that the ugly rumors In circulation as to ihe financial Influences working behind the jingo agitation are true and that Presi dent McKinley's plausible words arc merely Intended to cover a projected abuse of su perior physical strength. " The Times' editorial Is based on letters from Madrid describing the situation , the second of which appears today , date\l Oc tober 18. The writer prefaces his remarks by saying that circumstances and not pres sure preceded the change of ministry , and adds : "Were Canovas still allvo ho would probably meet all American representations with a haughty non poBsumus. The liberals will not go very far In the ep''usito direc tion. Hut It may bo hoped that they will not altogether shut their eyes to disagree- ublo realities and will at least adopt n less repellent attitude. Their attitude will depend on the conclusion they arrive at as to tlio rail alms and Intentions of the United States , a subject upon which there ore con- slderablo differences of opinion allowable , ns General Woodford's note Is capable of various interpretatloiifl. " The correspondent then discusses the note In p'actlrally the same terms as are used In the editorial. He comments on the fact that while amicably expressed the note hints Its Intentions In a manner having n "dis agreeable resemblance to the consecrated i.hraso of diplomacy "vlser aux nioycna , " which In a similar European document would lave : the character of an ultimatum. " The government has deferred replying to the note , he continues , "In the hope that the Tnlted States would wait for the results of the Sagasta policy. If the truth must be told , ( lencral Woo3ford'u amicable assur ances < ire regarded by Spaniards as little be- ytml pollto phrases slgr.lfylng nothing and intended to cover unjustifiable aggressive designs. The fact thut the Insurrection uas originally hatched In America and Is sup ported from there , is considered proof that the Americans mean to possess Cuba , and the tender of their good offices Is regarded us a step In that direction. "In support of this view the American correspondents of the Madrid papers assert t''at ' ' an American syndicate with enormous resources and with Inlluer.tlal backing at Wathlngton Is prcrarlng to buy up the land , railways , sugar and tobacco factories and Industrial undertakings and Is oven nego tiating with the rebel leaders with u vlow to running the new autonomist government , possibly under the nominal sovereignty of Spain , but In any case under the real pro tection of the UnlteJ States. "I understand that the Spanish government presses a great deal of trustworthy in formation on this subject. There Is no doubt that these projects exist and it the authorities at Washington sympathize with them , as 1s suapected , they will not bo nun-li Inclined to wait for the results of the n.nv policy in Cuba , but will persist In interven tion on the ground , according to the Wood- ford note , not of Weylcr's cruelties , but of Injury to American Interests. "On the whole , the prospect of General \VooJford obtaining any satisfactory &r- rangenirnt are not bright. Furthermore. It would be a dangerous ertxir to Imagine that the Spaniard ! , are playing a game of bluff. They know they would be beaten , but Cas- tillUiu prldo U willing to accept the cense quences.

One of the fiercest northeast gales for years hss swept the lower Jersey coist and up Delaware bay for the Ust twenty-four hours. Many , vessels have been stranded and there Is an unconfirmed report that a ship went down olT shore this morning. A licet Is riding at tnchor within the harbor , unable to proceed either way , and the meadows arc so Inundated that railroad - . road travel to the coast resorts Is practically suspended. ' The tide here Is abating somewhat tonight - , night , but the wind Is maintaining a velocity , of thirty m'.lcs. Portions of the board walk have been swept away , as well as cottage , porches and fences , and the damage Is c-atl- I mitcd at thousands of dollars.

ATLANTIC CITY , N. J. , Oct ! ' 25. The northeast storm still prevailing Is probably the most severe 'In years. In the polnt''of high tides it has not been equaled , it is staled , since 1S44. The damage done thus far does not equal that of the storm of 1SSO , but If It does not abate soon , promises to exceed It. The prin cipal damage accomplished has been by the wind. It blew over at least three houses in course of construction and two more are threatened tonight. The three rallroail beds have been washed out for a considerable distance , thus shutting the city out of train service either way. At Chelsea about six squares of board walk was washed awav and several valuable bulk heads were wrecked. The government life crow has received special Instructions to be watchful , as it Is feared that there may be some wrecks before morning. HIGHLANDS , N. J. , Oct. 25. Owing to the heavy wind and sea tonight the fishing vill igc of Seaside , formerly Parkertown , Is under water. The villagers are rowing through the streets In boats. The govern ment trestle was badly damaged. The trcutle connects the mainland with Sandy Hook and all freight for tiiat place , Including the big guns used there , pass over It. About 200 feet was lifted off the piles and washed to ono side and It will be some time before U can bo repaired. A largo piece of Kay's new bulkhead was washed away and property there Is li ; danger. The bulkhead was built last winter at large expense. The sea rolls through the Inlet on the west shore con tinually. The tandbar Is closing tne west channel and If the storm continues the Shrewsbury river will bo closed to naviga tion. WORST EVER EXPERIENCED. OCEAN CITY , Mil. , Oct. 25. The storm of the last two days was the worst ever ex perienced In this section. The wind attained the proportions of a hurricane , and the surf ran four feet deep across the Ixach In to Slnepuxent bay. The large porches of Con gress Hall , Trlmpers , the Eastern Shore hotel , Ciopper't ) pavilion , Atlantic hotel and Mayer college are completely wrecked. The Immense fish pond of the Ocean. Fishing com pany was carried out to sea. The Cambridge hotel was nearly wrecked. A large two- masted schooner 'was sunk In the bay after being driven against the drawbridge. The dumagc will reach thousands of dollars. MILLVILLE , N. J. , Oct. 25.

John Augustine , an American citizen , was arrested nt Pan Carles , at the mouth of the San Juan river September 21 , by order of President Zolaya's brother without any pretense of a trlaraild Imprisoned In theJ penitentiary. Mr. AtiguHIno was formerly * United States con sul at Blue Fields , Mosquitorterritory , and Is at present in charge of the''navigation ' company's steamers on the San Juan river. About October1 3 Mr. Augus.tluc succeeded In sehdlnfi word of his Imprisonment to the United States consul nt Managua , who , It Is claimed. Informed the prisoner that ho could do nothing for him. citlng.t It Is alleged , the instance of two trumps from the United States who had been arrested several days ago for cause and were shipped out of the country. However , about October 3 the fact of Mr. Augustine's Imprisonment became known to United States minister Halter , who wrote to President Zclaya on the sub ject with the result that the prisoner was allowed to leave the penitentiary on parole with orders not 'to leave the city of Managua. Tha facts In the case ECCIU to be that the go\eminent of Nicaragua , several days pre vious to the arrest of Mr. Augustine , had forcibly taken possession of the steamers of the navigation company and was running them to suit Itsclt. On September 28 Mr. AugtiEtlno was ordered by a government of ficial to direct the movements of the boats , apparently for the purpose ot getting the company to feed and pay the officers and men on board. This Mr. Augustine refused to do unless the beats were turned over to the company and he received orders from the latter to comply with the government's de mand. Under these circumstances Mr. Au gustine requested the N'learaguan military officer commanding at Fort San Carlos to tel egraph to the company for instructions. Hut instead , It Is asserted , this olllcer telegraphed something to his superior officer , which caused an order for the arrest of Mr. Augus- thi2 to bo issued , "whether ho Is a citizen ot the United States or not.

There Is a possibility that the second trial of Adolp1 ! Ii. Luetgert , the alleged wife murderer , will begin this week. Stato's Attorney Deneen said today that unless the defense asked for .1 contlnu- anro and still persisted In Its dciiiiind for the release of the prisoner on hall ho would put the case on the trial call for Wednesday. Iho slato's attorney does not know what Judge will ho selected to hear the second trial. Judge Horton has been suggested and the case nuy come up before him. 'Tho second trial will not be as long ns the recent trial was , " said State's Attorney Dencen. "Wo know the defense 'now. We are also better prepared wll'.i our own ovl- dence , and there Is much of It that was sub- mltted during the trial Just ended tlut will bo omitted on the new trial. We have con- sldciablo important new evidence. Hut now that wo know the situation thoroughly the progress of the new trial will be more rapid , but none the less Interesting than the first one. Wo shall not consent to ball , mil if the defense will not ask for a continuance the trial will proceed QK indicated. " The state's attorney will Insist that some thing definite be done In the case this week Ho dots not Intemi to permit the defense to spring upon him the technical assertion tha't ' Luetgert has been In Jail four ternia of court without a trial and Is therefore en titled to his discharge. With the close of the present wct'k four full terms of tilt criminal court will have elapsed since Luet gert was indicted. As the case now stands the same as If no trial was ever had , tin. prosecution fears the defense may next week urge that Luetgert has been In Jail foui terms and ask for his release upon this technical construction of the law. sKD s r\vi- rii'i : THII.ST.

'ffect that the reorganisation committee of he Union Pacific gave out there ycster- .ay a statement that the attorney general lid notified the committee tlut he would isk the court for an adjournment of the sale of the Union Pacific and the Kansas Pacific allway properties until December 1G. It was for the purpose of asking the court o postpone the sale that ( Jeneral John C * Cowlci of this city , assistint to Special Counsel Hoadly of the govcrnnunt In the Union Pacific forecltumo care ? , left for St. ' .ml Sunday evening. Tncre he will confer with Judge Walter Saboni : of the federal court , who passed on the decrees of foreclosure - > closure In thl , * city. There Is said to be little doubt but that the conference be tween Ihe court and tlio government s sposlal rcpresentatlvo In St. Paul will result In a postponement of the sale. Ocnoral Cowln said SuiHAiy before leaving that the sale would In all probability not take place next week as advertised , and subse quent developments have corroborated hte statement. KEhhV JOINS COW1N. General Cowln was followed to St. Paul last night by Judge William It. Kelly , gen eral solicitor of the Union Pacific , who will represent the Interests of the reorganization committee before the court there today , when final action ta expected. The attitude of surprise manifested yester day hy Special Master W. 11. Cornish , Gen eral Solicitor Kelly and other olllclals of the Union Pacific now appears ! o have been not entirely sincere , as It Is known that Judge. Kelly was at the depot with General Cowln on Sunday night , just before the lattcr's de parture for St. Paul , discuoslug the matter with him. From reliable authority it Is learned ttat the key to the entire situation lies In the suit started last week In the United States circuit court for New York by Ooorgo Iload- ley , acting for the attorney general of the United States , against the receivers of the Union Pacific railway and the bunking house of J. Pierpont Morgan , to compel an account ing of bonds , stocks and of the property turned over by the Union Pacific to the Mor gan banking IHHIHO In 1801 as security for tha loan of $18,000,000 , and u showing of the amount of money realize 1 from the sale or other distribution of these assets. In his po- I'ltlon ex-Governor Ilcadley also aska for a determination of the claims and rights at the United States government as holders ot the Fccond mortgage lo vh.s propertty , or the proceeds realized upon It. When word was receive 1 hero of this suit the officials ot the Union Pacific professed entire unconcern , and assented that the suit could not possibly alfcct t.io foreclosure pro ceedings. They suggested that the suit was a purely friendly one , although brought In the name of the government , nirl that It v. < w btartcd by J. Pierpont Morgan in order that ho might secure a clear bill for his part In the negotiation of the $18,000.000 loan. Slnco then U has become plain that tills suit was intimately connected with the intervention of the government In the foreclosure pro ceedings , and milotis It Is patched up In some way the government will Insist on the post ponement of the Fale , ED Unit the mutter maybe bo first adjusted. It Is believed that In cano the sale Is postponed and a new decree en tered by the court one of the conditions to bu insisted on by the government will bo tlio accounting asked for In the suit brought for that purpose last week. It Is even possi ble that If thin 'Is ' conceded the bid will bo raised and the sale take place , as advertised , on November 1. The motion on the purl of the govern ment to postpone the date if sale of the Union Pacific lullway will bo made before United States Circuit Judge Sanborn at 6t. Paul this morning. It is thought Judge San- born will set an early day for the hearing. Gonuial Cowln of Omaha during the day bad an Informal conference with Judge Sanboru. Ho stated to the Judge that the government desired at an early date to make the motion referred to. IJx-Govoriinr Hoadloy , chief of the governmi nt's special conns. 1 In the Union Pacific ruses , Is expected to reach St , Paul this morning. PLANS OK THE COMMITTKB.
