PITFALL OF DE LOME. THE LETTER THAT BROUGHT HIM TROUBLE. lie CnreledKly Left It Upon III* Wfflre Dc»k —It I* Read by a Legation Attache Who Sent Word to the Junta and a Pontofflce Clerk at Havana Steal* the Communication. De Lome Wa* Carele**. PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 14—The Press prints today what it asserts to be the true version of the acquisition and publication of the letter from Mr. de Lome to Senor Canaiejas. The au thority cited for its authenticity Is “A Cuban of the highest standing in the councils of liis party,” who re ceives his Information "from headquar ters in New York.” The story pro ceeds to say: The letter was not stolen from the United States mails, hut was secured by an agent of the Cuban junta in the postoffice at Havana. Don Jose Canai ejas, to whom the letter was ad dressed, never saw the original. He did not know until eight days after the letter reached Havana that such a letter from Spain's representative at Washington had been written him. "De Lome wrote the letter in his private residence at Washington, in stead of at the Spanish legation. The paper, however, was marked with the official type and read in the corner ‘Legation Espana.’' The same inscrip tion was upon the left hand upper corner of the envelope. “Senor do Lome did not mall the letter from his house. In fact he had not quite completed it upon the morn ing it was written, and carried it to the legation, where it was first seen and noticed by a person who is In the employ of the embassy, acting in a sub-official capacity. The letter lay on the desk of the minister in his in ner office, the outer office being Y is place of reception to visitors. During an absence of half an hour from the inner office of De Lome the clerk in question saw the open letter and read some of it. • **« uwjr iuia Diiiiic ptm tiuu hijuv word to his Cuban associates In Wash ington to the effect that he had seen a letter from Do I/ome to Canalejas In which President McKinley was vil ified and autonomy called a scheme. Several of the Cuban leaders got to gether and asked the employe of the embassy to secure the letter. They did not believe his story, although he urged them to come Into the public print and make charges against De Come. Because they did not have the letter In their possession the leaders refused to Bay anything about It. The employe of the legation was urged to use all means In his power to secure the letter, although It was considered probable that the letter waB already In the malls when the Cubans at the Hotel Raleigh were Informed of Its ex istence. "The clerk in the employ of Minis ter de Lome saw no more of the letter. His memory-written abstracts were sent to New York, and it was urged that could possession of the letter be obtained and his statements proven to he true the letter would be of Incal culable value to the Cubans as sub stantiating what Cuban leaders had maintained regarding autonomy and the general Spanish policy In official circles towaru this country and Its of ficers. Immediately words of warning and urginga to be on the alert was sent to every Cuban who might be in a position to obtain track of or inter cept the much sought for missive. “The letter reached Havana five flays after its pOBtmak In Washington. An agent of the Cuban party who Is an employe of the Spanish postoffice knew that the letter was on the wav and when It came Into his hands it was carried from the postoffice and a copy was made of it. “Word to this effect was Bent to the Cuban leader In Jacksonville. Fla., who at once asked the secret Cuban junta In Havana to secure the original letter—that a copy was not what he desired. “The Havana postoffice clerk was not willing to do this, but afterward consented, as he was obliged to ac count for a certain number of letters. The original was then taken, several blank sheets substituted In place of the paper on which De Lome had writ ten and the letter finally postmarked in the Havana poutoffice and sent on its routine way. “Bight days after its arrival in the Havana office the sealed envelope, properly addressed to Senor Canalejas, was delivered at the Hotel Inglatterra. Senor Canalejas did not regard the matter seriouslv at the time, although the hotel boy who brought him the let ter and the postoldce employe who had charge of it were arrested. So also was the hotel employe who went sev eral times dally to the postoffice for the mails. The three were discharged after an examination. Senor Canalejas communicated al most lmmendiately with Minister Lome, and for several weeks letters and cablegrams pased between the two, but no trace of the letter could be obtained. Canalejas shortly thereafter left Havana, going to Madrid.” Do Dome Mutter 1m the House WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Repre sentative Lewis of Washington has preoared a joint resolution, which he will offer in the house today, express ing it to be the sense of the house and senate that the president decline to recognize the resignation of Senor de Lome, the Spanish minister, and instead inform him that he is persona non grata. A Pensioner Returns His Money, WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Pension Commissioner Evans has recently re ceived from a pensioner in San An tonio, Texas, an express order for $879. It was money which the sender be lieved he had not properly received, and. animated by this feeling, he had returned It to the government. Mr. Evans had an investigation made of the case and ascertained that the pen sioner was honestly entitled to the money he was receiving, vis.: $12 per month for deafness, and directed the entire amount returned to him. LOST AT SEA. The Steamer Vendam Wrecked and Set on Fire. NEW YORK, Fell. 14.—The steamer St. Louis, Captain Randle, which ar rived from Southampton, reports the loss at sea of the Holland-American line steamer Veendam, Captain Sten ger, from Rotterdam for New York. The passengers and crew of the Veendam were saved by the St. Louis. At Quarantine Captain Stenger of the Veendam reported as follows: "The Veendam left Rotterdam Febru ary 2, with a general cargo, nine cabin 118 steerage passenfers and eighty-flve crew bound for New York. Had strong northwest gales and high west and northwest seas. February 6, at about 5:17 p. m. ship at the time being In latitude, 49.36 north, longitude, 20.1 west, the steamer struck a submerged wreck or wreckage, which probably tore a hole in the ship bottom and broke its propellor shaft. We found that our ship was making considerable water. We at once set all pumps to work, but notwithstanding this the water gained on us. In the meantime all our boats were made ready in or der if necessary to leave the ship, as it was now sinking rapidly at the stern. At 1:30 a. m. we observed the lights of a large steamer bearing about east by south from us. We made sig nal of distress, on which the vessel bore down on us. We then decided for the safety of the passengers and crew to abandon the ship. "The vessel proved to be the St. Louis of the American line, bound from Southampton for New York. We hailed it and reported that our ship was sinking and that we wished to be taken off. At 1:43 a. m. we com menced to transfer our passengers and crew, using three boats of the St. Louis and one of ours. Our men were kept at the pumps. "At 4:63 a. m. Monday morning everybody had been transferred to the St. Louis. When the last boat left the Veendam was laboring very heav ily and sinking rapidly by the stern. The transfer of the passengers and crew took, notwithstanding the great difficulties and high seas running, three hours and ten minutes and was accomplished without the slightest ac cident. “As the wreck was a dangerous ob struction to navigation we decided to set it on Are. which was done. The position of the wreck was then lat itude 49.19 north, longitude 19.47 west. On board the St. Louis we were warm ly received and the captain and his officers did everything possible for our comfort. We take this opportunity to expres sour utmost gratitude also in the name of the passengers of the Veendam.' WhcRt Shown nn Upwfird Tpndpncy, CHICAGO. Feb. 14.—Substantial ad vances took place in the leading fea tures in wheat lest week, May closing with a net gain of 216 cents, while July advanced 1% cents. The market was not without periods of weakness, but in the main was strong, the feeling at times very active, especially toward the latter part of the week. Saturday and Monday there was a decided bear ish disposition among traders. Weak cables, favorable reports from the Ar gentine, India and Australian crops caused small declines. On Tuesday the market was helped by the best de mand for export that has bean re ported in some time. Urgent demand from many of the principal milling centers was also reported and the con tinued heavy northwest receipts gave the market a drooping tendency at first, but the remarkable cash situa tion started a general buying move ment late in the day which finally be came a scramble to cover and a sharp advance resulted. There was a reac tion on Wednesday on realizing and outside selling, but on Thursday the market became very strong and re mained so throughout Friday. Reports that the Loiter interests were making contracts for the moving of all rail of a large part of their wheat to the seaboard and that part of it was for direct shipment to Liverpool ad vanced prices rapidly, the market tak ing on at times some degree of excite ment under the urgent demand. Strong Liverpool cables, small stocks at that market and the fact that Argentine shipments fell short of expectations added to the strength of the general situation. Tho San Jose Scale. BERLIN, Feb. 14.—The government expert Investigation to ascertain whether the San Jose scale may exist in dried fruit, continues. The expert reports to the United States embassy today that out of 4,000 packages of fruit which arrived at Hamburg this week two small lots, shipped from in fected California districts, were stop ped. No northern fruit has so far been found in fected. The lots stopped (luring the last few days were Sonoma apples. During the coming week 900 packages are expected. Afterward there will be a few straggling lots. The government tests are quite fair. Samples are only taken for the pur pose of examination, though the ex amination takes a long time. Movement* of War Ship*. NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—All the Rus sian warships except one left Chemul po. says the Yokohoraa correspondent of the Herald. The British admiral, leaving on a cruiser has sailed for Nagasaki. The Japanese war ships are dividing the two squadrons, one at Yokosuka, the other at Shimidzu. They are not likely to leave Japanese waters. The United States oruiser Concord sails hence on February 19 to relieve the Boston at Chemulpo. Restrictions of Canada* BUFFALO, N. Y‘„ Feb. 14.—The de partment of customs of the Dominion government has issued a memorandum in regard to the entry of goods in the Yukon district. In brief, the new instructions provide that goods pur chased in Canada destined to the Klon dike district must be carried in Brit ish bottoms, otherwise full duty must be paid upon them. Callle Eppler pleaded guilty to “whitecapoing ’ at Dallas. Tex., and was fined *100 and sent to jail for thir ty days, the lightest penalty allowed. SEARCHING IN RUINS THE DEATH LIST MAY EXCEED ESTIMATES. Chief Humphrey* of the Pittsburg Fire Department Sure Other* are Under the Debrl*—Danger of Further Explosions —The Record of Mortality Up to the Pre sent Writing. The Pittsburg Fire. PITTSBURG, Feb. 12.—The work of searching for bodies in the ruins of Wednesday night's Are was continued through last night by 200 men, but no more bodies were found. The debris is Rtill piled ten feet high, however, and, as more than a score of people are still missing, the work will be continued without cessation until it Is positively known that no more dead are burled beneath the debris. .That more people were killed Chief Humph reys of the fire department says there can be no doubt. He saw the walls go down in the midst of a great mass of humanity huddled together in a small space, and, while he did not care to estimate the number of people killed, he says it will be largely in ex cess of any estimate yet made. The search for the bodies is attended by great danger, not only from weakened walls, but from 125 tanks of anly drade known to be still in the smould ering ruins. Anlydrade is ammonia in its most powerful state and its ig nition would result in an explosion which would cause Incalculable disas ter. The firemen are keeping a num ber of streams constantly playing on this part of the building. It is thought that precautionary methods will avert further disaster. Mrs. McFadden and her familv of eight children, who were believed to have been burled under the walls, are safe. They were found living a short distance from the scene of the disaster, having moved from Mulberry avenue only a few days before. Michael O'Hearn of Oil City and James Bever ly of Grafton, were among the missing, have also turned up. OHearn was visiting friends in Allegheny and Bev erly was taken suddenly ill and is in Mercy hospital. As a result of the catastrophe a movement to prevent the storage of bonded liquor or ammonia within the corporate limits of the citv has been commenced. Safety Director J. O. Brown has promised the neonle to see to it that the city councils will have a chance to pass on an intended piece of legislation to this effect at the next meeting held at. Municipal hall. The record of the fire at this time is: Known dead, eleven; missing, twentv-six; injured, eighteen; proneHy losa *1,600,000; insurance, about SI , 000,000. ! DE LOME INCIDENT. The Stir at the Capital Has Quieted Dowr, WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—The fol lowing statement was given out for publication ot the state department: General Woodford telegraphed that the minister’s resignation had been: accepted before he presented the tele gram from the department. He adds that the first secretary at Washington will be placed in charge of the legation and a new minister will be appointed at once. Full reports to follow. It is believed here that the incident is practically closed. All sorts of rumors were in circulation last night. Including one that a special cabinet meeting was held at midnight. It Can be stated positively that no cabinet meeting, formal or informal, was held last night. The .formal notification to this gov ernment by Spain that Senor Dupuy de Lome has ceased to represent It as minister will be. made to the state de partment about noon by Senor Don Juan du Boso, first secretary of lega tion. who will act as charge d’affaires until the arrival of Senor de Lome’s successor. The notification will he purely formal and will state that Senor de Lome’s resignation as min ister has been accepted and that the government will he represented for the present by Senor du Boso, the first secretary of the legation. The retiring minister is actively engaged in preparing his Dersonal ef fects for shipment and in leave taking of his friends and dlnlomatic associates in Washington. Some of bis chatties were sent to New York today. It is the present purnose of Senor de Lome to leave this country earlv next week. He probably will sail by one of the French liners to Havre and thence will proceed direct to Madrid. His connection officially with this govern ment has entirely ceased and he is henceforth a private citizen. Surprised at De Lome. MOBILE, Ala., Feb. 12.—Hannis Taylor, former minister to Soain, who is residing in this city, when con vinced of the authenticity of the De Lome letter, expressed surprise at his ungrateful and indiscreet action. Mr. Taylor says that.De Lome is undoubt edly the most brilliant and discerning diplomat in the service of Spain, and that his present imprudence is inex plicable. The letter, he declares, is an affront to every American citizen, and that it is remarkable how it could have emanated from De Lome, in con sideration of the cordial relations which have hitherto existed between him and the administration. Mr. Taylor thinks the affair will have the effect of increasing the rancor in both countries, as the Spaniards bitterly despise Americans, and the masses will uphold De Lome’s action. He be lieves. however, that his recall is a calamity to the mother country. New Kehen.p for BlmetlllUlu. CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—A novel sugges tion as to the possibility of obtaining a national basis of compromise be tween the advocates of the gold stand ard and their opponents is being ad vanced by W. S. Harbert of this city. The plan is for a circulating medium consisting of coin certificates payable half in gold and half in silver--a two dollar certificate, for example, to be redeemed by one dollar in gold coin and one dollar In silver coin. If the relative value of one half shall dimin ish the value of the other, according to Mr. Harbert, would relatively in crease. CREAT INDUCEMENTS. Many Streams in Alaska Not Yet Pros pected. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Puisuant to instructions from the ac.ing secre tary of war a special supplementary report has been prepared by E. Hazard Wells, who acted as agent for the We^. department in bringing attention to Captain Ray’s dispatches. Mr. Wells has been in Alaska three times, has traversed the interior and has a prac tical knowledge of the country that is inhabited by few persons. He says, among other things: “There are un doubtedly large deposits of gold in Alaska, rivaling these of the British Northwest territory. I noticed excel lent mineral indications upon the Ta nana river and in other localities In 1890. I discovered a true Assure vein of quartz eight feet in diameter with well deAned casing rocks upon .the up per Tanana. This quartz evidently contained metal. Specimens which I secured to. take out to San Francisco for assay were subsequently lost in a river catastrophe. Numerous creeks entering the upper Tanana revealed colors of gold in the sand. “All of the gold-bearing streams of Alaska so far discovered, viz: Birch creek, Miller creek, Forty Mile creek, Sixty Mile creek and Seventy Mile creek, head in the vicinity of the Ta nana river and Aow away to the north east. On the southwestern side and heading near the Tanana are the not ed Copper and Sushitna rivers, the latter being the gold-bearing stream which recently came into prominence through the placer discoveries on Cook’s inlet. The Copper river is pop ularly supposed to be located in the heart of a mineral belt. It is a rea sonable deduction that if all the streams Aowing away from the Ta nana itself must cut through a gold bearing country. This opinion is shared by nearly all of the old-time miners now located in Dawson. Re cently excellent prospects were dis covered upon an American creek, a tributary of the Yukon in Alaska, just below Forty Mile creek. Miller creek, Birch creek and other streams within the boundaries of Alaska in the Yukon valley still offers induce ments to placer miners. 1 do not be lieve that any better mining region will be discovered in Alaska than will be found in the Great Tanana valley.” The Indian Congress Scheme. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—The Indi an bill, in which the Trans-Mississ ippi exposition is vitally interested by reason of an amendment it carries ap propriating $45,000 for a congress of the Indian tribes, passed the senate yesterday afternoon. Senator Allen withdrawing his appeal on Senator Al lison’s point of order against the •amendment providing for the settle ment of the Otoe and Missouri re servation lands in Gage county rather than jeopardize measures in which the whole state of Nebraska is interested. It was thought best to allow the amendment to go over, in view of the fact that that Senator Thurston had a bill on the Otoe and Missouri affairs in Nebraska and Kansas. Senator Al len having withdrawn his appeal the bill wras put upon its passage, and, carrying the appropriation, not only for the Indian congress, but for Indi an tribes and Indian schools in Ne braska, South Dakota and Iowa, it was sent to the house. On Monday the bill will be reported and the house will nonconcur in the amendments as at tached to the bill by the senate and conferees will be appointed. Should there be a disposition to fight the measure in which Omaha, and the whole country for that matter, is in terested, counter opposition will be brought to bear against other features of the bill and a general debate devel oped. This, however, is not expected, the importance of other provisions of the bill being enough, it is believed, to carry it through, the free homes feature, which was attached as a rider, being a shrewd game on the part of the senate to force the house to pass the same to meet the clamor of many committees in which Indian re servations are located. Later in the day Senator Thurston called up and passed his bill providing for revision and adjustment of sales of Otoe and Missouri reservation lands, which pre cipitated such a row yesterday. There was no objections to the bill and with out amendment it slid through the senate. Shipping Out. Leiter Wheat. I CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—It is positively stated that contracts for moving 1,500, 000 bushels of Leiter wheat to the sea board have been made.’ Of this the Grand Trunk is reported to have se cured 500,000 bushels, the Nickel Plate 500,000 bushels and the Lehigh Valley 500,000 bushels. The cereal will be carried on a through rate from Chicago to Liverpool, so it cannot be ascertain ed what proportion will accrue to the railroads for the haul to the seaboard. The Chronicle says: It is estimated that the Leiter holdings of wheat in this city and afloat will exceed 10,000, 000 bushels, and since a recent visit to this city of the eastern exporters the suspicion has arisen, that the en tire amount has been disposed of to a British syndicate. Freight men do not deny that negotiations looking to the placing of large contracts have been j pending for sometime, and it is assert ed on reputable authority that every prominent eastern line connecting with Chicago has been invited to bid on the transportation of an indefinitely large amount of wheat to the seaboard. Special dispaches from Washington to Philadelphia say that Minister de Lome cabled his resignation to the Spanish government. Cine. Away With a Xehra.ka G'rl. CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—The Chicago police are puzzled over the disappear^ ance of Earl Conway, a talented youth well known in musical circles, and Miss Oilie Wilson, daughter of a wealthy Nebraska stockman. Al though the young woman is eleven years older than the lad, who is but 15 years old, the two. according to the story told to the police by he lad’s parents, are deeply attached to one an other, and the police have been led to suspect that they have gone away toget>>M> Rheumatic Paine Confined to Her Bed, but Hood’s. “ I was taken with rheumatism and suf - fered a great deal of pain, and at time.}.
