He continued: "We did not go to war to emancipate the slave, but we did go to war with the consc ouaness that the slavery question was on of the great questions that was produc ing the war; and he was a miin of shortsightedness on the one side or the Other aide wno doubted that the result of the conflict, the end of the war, would produce either emancipation Or perpetuation.

Official news received in this city states that in the canal at the entrance of the harbor of Ilavana, the Spanish gunboat, San chez Barcastegui, collided with the Spanish merchant steamship, Mortera. The former was almost immediately sunk. The loss of life on the Mortera ia not stated. The Jlureastcgni was a third-class cruiser, carrying five heavy and two rapid-fire guns. She was of 1,000 dis placement. She was built in 1875, The cruiser left Fort Barcustegui at mid night with Admiral Delegado Pa re jo onboard. On reaching the mouth of the harbor the Karcastegui came in collision with the Mortera, a steam er engaged in the coastwise trade. The Mortera struck the cruiser on the starboard, and ho Imdly Injured her that she sank at once. The Mortera, although badly damaged, stood off to give assistance to those on board the liarcastegui, and with her boats saved the greater part of the crew. Admiral I'arejo, Captain Ybiinez, First Lieut enant Lopez Aldazajo, Second Lieuten ants Junco, Soto and Canajo, Dr. Mar tin, l'urser I'ueyo, Machinist Zarzuela and thirty-six of the crew were drowned. Aide-de-camp Gaston was aaved. . Victor Aroga, another of tha officers, had his leg broken, but was picked up by a boat from the Mortera. Admiral Delagado 1 'a re Jo was tha last man to leave the cruiser, being tnken off in a row boat. The total loss of life is now set at forty-six. When the rowboat in which the ad miral was about to start for the shore shoved off, the suction occasioned by the sinking of the Ilarcastegui carried the boat down and all on board were drou'uud. STOLE AND CONFESSED. Sbrrwd Thrive ins; of Chicago Hank Tell ers DUcvered. Chicago, Sept. 21. Joseph H. Wil son, receiving teller of the National bank of Illinois, has confessed to tak ing of 7,000 of the bank's money, llcnjaman H. .Jones, paying teller of the same institution, is charged with stealing $18,0oo. Their plan of work ing the plan was simple. Money passed from one to the other and their accounts always were expected to bal ance. Whenever one was short the other simply made a "dummy" entry, and the thing was fixed. As the amount of the shortage grew larger, of courso, it wus more difficult to con ceal it, but it is admitted that it would have been easy for the two men to keep on abstracting money for a long time. National bank examiners and private experts went over the books of the bank at short intervals, but by their system of transfer the two were able to pull the wool over the eyes of 11 the examiners and experts. Hut Jones and Wilson made one mis take. One of them went away on a vacation. Then, through the admit tance of another to the office of paying teller, small Irregularities were dn covered, and finally the whole secret was out. Jones went away about three weeks ago. He had hardly left town before expert s began poring over his accounts, and in a few days Wilson ws confronted with the evidence ta ken from the books. Both Wilson and Jones have con fessed.

Tha Application Had by tha Remtmton Fapar Company Which Baa a Claim of About 160,000 Mr. McDonald Katlrea Wtoaa tho Uaoafament. Kaksas Citt. Ma, Sept. 23. Wiley 0. Cox, the banker, was appointed re ceiver to-day of the Kansas City Times Newspaper company by Judge Slover, nd took charge of its business at 11 o'clock this forenoon. The appoint ment was made on application of the Bemington Paper company of Water town, N. Y. Harkless, O'Grady A Crysler, attor neys In this city for the Remington company, received a telegram from G. S. and H. L. Hooker, the attorneys for the Remington company in New York, notifying them that a bill in chancery asking for the appointment of a re ceiver for the Times company had been mailed and instructing them to file it in the circuit court as soon as it reached Kansas City. The bill ar rived by the early mail from the East nd at 0 o'clock Witten McDonald, manager of the Times, was asked to come to the office of Harkless, O'Grady A Crysler. He was handed the peti tion to read, but as it covered twenty pages of very close type-writing he de clined to wade through it and was content with Mr. O'Grady's explana tion that it asked for the appointment of a receiver because the paper was insolvent; was in debt about 800,000 to his clients and getting deeper in debt daily, and that if the paper missed even one Issue it would depreciate greatly tho securing of the bond holders. Mr. McDonald said he had expected the application for a receiver, and yet he appeared to be surprised and pained. He and the attorney discussed several persons who might be ap pointed receiver, and at last it was agreed that Wiley 0. Cox, president of the Kansas City State bank, be ap pointed. The decree authorized Mr. Cox to take immediate possession of the busi ness and the officers, directors and agents of the Times company, and all other persons, were enjoined from at taching, seizing, levying on or ether wise interfering with auy of the prop erty of the company or from interfer ing with the receiver In his manage of the business. Will McDonald said: "I have simply this to say: The load entailed on the paper before I took charge of It was too heavy to be carried ! with the business situation what it is in Kansas City. That's all there is to it" Will McDonald, secretary of the company, said the paper had carried a heavy load from under which it bad struggled hard to get out. There had been a great improvement recently and he believed the paper would have come out on top if they had been given a few more months. Mr. Cox was asked if he would re tain Mr. McDonald in charge. Ue re plied that he did not suppose Mr. Mc Donald would expect or wish to remain on the piper. Mr. Cox said the thing had come to him unexpectedly and he had not selected a managing editor or a man to act in any other capacity, lie said: "I will manage the paper for the best interests of the creditors. I am not a newspaper man, so I must find a man who is to be put in charge and a force of newspaper men to assist him." "What will be the political policy of the paper?" was asked him. "1 am a Democrat and you will not find me managing anything that is not Democratic to the backbone," was the reply of Mr. Cox. Mr. Cox said further that in his opin ion the success of the Times in euriy days was due largely to the fact thut it was a straight out Democratic news paper, and the lack of success in later years might be due largely to the fact that it had swerved in the faith. It is understood that there will be a complete turning over In the working force of the paper, and that it will an nounce to-morrow morning thut the paper is to be Democratic from stem to stern. The Times' plant, business, good will, etc., is estimated to ba worth about $500,000. It has been runniug recently at a loss of aboutlDOOa week. The receiver is lustrnoted to pay out of the income of the paper first, the salaries due employes and attorneys' fees and rents whioh bad been earned within aix months before he whs ap pointed and which were unpaid; sec ond, he waa to pny all the running ex penses and the balance, if there wus any, was ordered to be deposited in bank subject to the order of the court. The reeeiver was authorised to Issue such receiver's certificates as might be uecissary to pay all outstanding claim and from time to time to issue such certificate., subject to the ap proval of the court, if it wa iiccc.v aary la operating the bublust: these certificate to be pa) able in one year from date and to bear S per rent inter sat from data of Issus.

Ths easy as surance and confidence of the treasury officials that there will not be a bond issue and that the treasury gold re serve will not again be seriously de pleted is explained by a prominent of ficial, who says that through the good offices of the bond syndicate, promises have been secured from bankers in tha principal cities of the country that in case of necessity they can be called upon to place up to &jO,OOo,000 of gold in the treasury in exchange for legal tender. This important matter has been quietly negotiated by Messrs. Belmont and Morgan during ths la6t fifteen days. The reasons which have led to the action are varied, but all tend to the same end. On the part of the admin istration it is recognized as good poli tics to avoid another bond issue and throw the responsibility and necessity for remedial financial legislation upon the incoming congress. It was deter mined by the president several months ago that there would be no bond issue until after the elections, as an issus previous thereto would have the effect of strengthening the hands of the free silver men and the Populists. On the other side the syndicate wishes to avoid any action which would have the effect of checking the steadily increasing busines prosperity. The parties to the present voluntary combination for the protection of tha treasury gold reserve are almost en tirely within the list of banks that were allowed to participate in ths handling of the last bond issue, QUARREL OVER SPOILS. Colonel Rots' Explanation of tVbera 7A.UOO of Indian Fond Went. Washington, Sept. 2!!. Colonel D. M. Ross, of Guthrie, Ok., spent five hours on the witness stand trying to tell what he did with the $75,000 be received from the secretary of the treasury on the well known :i,000,000 payment to the Choctaw rind Chick asaw Indians for their shadow claim to the Cheyenne and Arapa hoe lands in Oklahoma. Colonel Ross stated that he had paid $10,000 to ono Colonel Parsons of Maryland, who has been a member of the state legislature and voted for Gorman, and who is gen erally believed to be the fine financial manipulator of Senator Gorman in certain western legislative matters. This 1 0,000 he paid Parsons was for Parsons himself, as Colonol Ross stated. Then Colonel Ross says he set apart $10,000 for himself, and then he gave Sam Donaldson of Kentucky, who was supposed to have a financial lobby pull in the treasury, $3,000, and tho remaining $.i0,000 he paid to Colonel Parsons in cash, and it is his understanding that Parsons paid it out to certain persons, but not knowing who they were, he can notexDlainfur ther. AGAINST CHRISTIANS. An Imperial Daereo Read Refora Thou aund of I'liliieno Students. London, Sept. . A paper here prints a dispatch from Hong Kong which says that at the annual examin ations in Canton thousands of stu dents were given copies of an imperial decree in which the doctrines of Chris tianity were fiercely condemned. Tho decree uses the following language: "A stupid, black-haired race is es tablishing sundry sects and they regard not their own lives, but pre tend to rise again as immortal men and women. They congregate and, aban doning chastity, behave like obsceno birds and beasts. Faithful Confucians must shoot and stone and behead them without mercy.

A Wyoming State Senator Warn Secre tary Smith to IavMtlg-ate. Chsvekxx, Wyo., Sept, 3. Robert Foote, state senator of Johnson t county, has written an open letter to Secretary Smith of the in terior department, exposing what ha characterizes as "one of the most gigantic and glaring frauds of ths age" - which is about to be com mitted, he 6ays, in Wyoming, under the Carey arid land law. ile says that all the waters of the streams in the Big Horn basin were parceled out to members of the "state land ring" by the state engineer and com panies have been formed which pro pose to charge to settlers for water rights $10 per acre which are not worth over $10. The lands which the state authorities have asked to have set apart under the Carey law are not desert lands as contemplated in the act of congress, Mr. Foote asserts. In conclusion the senator says the design is to create a system of peonage or ten-antry-at-will in our rich valleys where honorable and iudependent manhood should be found. ON LEXINGTON FIELD.
