MADRID IS EXCITED
RUMOR THAT UNCLE 'SAM
HAS WARNED SPAIN.
"famish Minister "aid lo Have Notified
'llta (ioternment That Thli Country
Would Art UnUsa the Cnlian Hohelllon
la floon suppressed fttate DepU Mum
YYAsniRaiox, Oct. 15. A' cable me
fasge from Madrid received hero early
this morning said that it was reported
there on the best of authority that
the American' government had not! (led
the Spanish inlnfcter at Washington
that it was necessary lor Spain to act
promptly In crushing the Cuban In
aarrccllon, and that the report caused
u profound sensation m Madrid.
The truth of tho report cannot be
confirmed at the state department.
The officials, when approached, would
neither affirm nor deny the Btory,
though their munncr would indicate
disapproval of Its aucurncy. It in be
lieved quite probuhle that representa
tions insy have been mado to Spain of
the wisdom of aggressive and activu
operations ttgalnst the Cuban insurg
ent, but it is thought that the United
HtatcH government did not mako these
auggestlons. and that, if made, tlioy
eamc from Minister DcLomo nnu wero
batted on Ills perHonnl views of the
situation and on Ills observation of the
trend of tcutlmcut in the United
States and hi knowledge of tho pur
pose.of the friends of the insurgents
to press tlietr cause vigorously soon
aftei tho assembling of congress.
Daily events point strongly to a de
termination to force the question on
the attention of congress in tho belief
that tho legislative channel nlTords
the moat practicable rontd to tho nu
eoaipllshtnent of something In behalf
of Cohan independence, the executivo
branch of the government, in tho very
nature of things, being more eon
ntratned in its action than the legislu-.
live depurtmeut
Scnor Do Lome left hero ta-dav on n
very early train, and therefore "no In
formation could be gnlned from him
concerning the Mudrld dispatch,
mi: fOLtcv ov this c-oumtrv.
Scnor DcLomc, the Spanish m'n
Ister, hnd u short interview with
Secretary Ulney yesterday, uud in the
course of their conversation the min
ister, perht p in answer to tho secre
tary's inquiry, iniule a statement that
operations tn Cuba would be conducted
with greatur vigor hereafter. As the
president must certainly muko some
reference to tho insurrection in his
annual mct.snge to congress when it
meets in December, it would be but
natural Out Secretary 01 tic v. upon
whom he must rely for bis informa
tion, should take steps to gather data
npon which to haso a judgment of
probable future events.
Whllo It i'i true thut President Grant
did, aa indicated in his messages to
congress, entertain a belief that inter
vention in the then progressing rebel
lion in Cuba would bo justifiable, this
view was never acceptable to Secre
tary Fish, aud it 1ik not secured the
iidhercnse of International lawyer.
The whole weight of authority is de
cidedly ud verso to tho assertion by a
neutral nation of a right to say when
war between two combatants has
progressed to a point where it must
no stopped. Jt may bo recalled
that some such proposition was
made during tho last stages of tho
China-Japanese war, but it never vreut
further than the exercise of the good
offices of the interested nations to
bring about peace, which function U
entirely distinct from direct interven
tion. The question is also separate
from that of the recognition of tho
belligerence of the insurgents, which,
according to American policy and
practice, must be determined purely
by the facts in each caso.
FORTUNE IN A ROOM.
Over Million Dollars Lett Helilad llj a
Woman Itcclnae.
Caitbkvdgk, Mass., Oct. I'i Mrs.
Barak Coolidgo, for thirty years a re
cluse in a secluded house here, died of
apoplexy Wednesday. 8!io always
passed aa a woman of moderate cir
cumstances. When the undertaker
disrobed the body preparatory to em
balming it, he found various assort
ments of gold coins tucked away in
concealed pocket in her clothing.
Tula led to e search of the room and
It proved to be a veritable gold mine.
In vases and in other pieces of bric-a-brac,
in shoes, in bureau drawers, and
in every conceivable nook aud cranny
the searchers found $'.10,000 in each,
mostly in gold coin. Jn one dilapi
dated handbag was n roll of bills ag
gregating yj.800. On the shelf in her
closet were bank books representing
cores of thousands more, with securi
ties and deeds showing a vuluation of
over a million dollars. One document
showed' her to bo the owner of prop
erty ut the corner of Washington and
Avon streets. Uoston, which pays a
rental of 11,000 a month.
In addition to the monoy and thu
bank booka there were dresses of the
most stylish and expensive goods,
covered with jewels and old laceij.
Many of these gowtis would euslly ie
culvo n valuation of fl.oOO cuoh.v All
the chamber closets uud wardrobes
were filled with these expensive gowns
and none of thorn havu ever been
worn.
The servants were never permitted
to enter the room lu which the treas
ure was found, though them was no
speelul effort to secure protection
from thieves. There were over S'iOo,
000 of negotiable fcoeurltles in that
roo guarded only by an old woman
and four women servants. Nobody
dreamed that it was there, so the vast
sum was secure.

UsiiRosir, Wlv, Oct. 13. Admiral
Klrklund, in command of the United
States naval forces in tho Mediter
ranean, and United States Minister
Terrell wero roundly denounced in
tho Presbyterian synod meeting yes
terday by two ministers who had
lately returned from an extensive visit
In tho far Kast. The statements wero
boldly made that Admiral Klrkland
was a dlsgrncu to thu navy aud that
Minister Terrell was partial to the
Mohammedans.
u Tho report latoly sent to this coun
try by llcur Admiral Klrkland of tho
American navy, thut thu missionaries
in Asia Minor had unduly excited the
peoplo uud wero in a great measure
tho cause of recent troubles, was
strongly denounced by tho Itcv. Mr.
Cady, and ho recited several iustauecs
thatcumo under his personal observ
ation last winter going to show that
in his opinion Kear Admiral Klrkland
was morally incompetent to pro
noiinco judgment upon questions per
taining to missions, aud a mora pro
fane uud demoralized man than Ad
miral Klrklund tho ltev. Mr. Cudy did
not meet with in his travels.
The ltev. W. O. Currier spoke to the
same effect and said Judge Terrell, tho
American minister to Turkey, mado
his investigation of tho recent troubles
a mere farce. Tho judge dined with
the sultan onco u month and openly
avowed his partiality to Moham
medanism und sees no reason why
missionaries should bo sent to the Ot
toman empire.
lloth tho ministers claimed that,
with a few exceptions, American rep
resentatives on tho Mediterranean
coast were morally unqualified to rep
resent American sentiment.

association of New York in a bill filed
in tho circuit court yesterday 'after

tho purpose of enjoining tho company

to settle.
The complalnantsvcall the attention
of the. court to the different 'agreements
by which tho dofendant company
agreed that that tho assessments
should not bo increased for tlte pur
pose of increasing tho reserve fund,
nnd they charge that in violation of
these agreements with its policy hold
ers the company bus can sod assess

per cent.
Tho policies provide, according to
tho complainants showing, that the
board of directors of the association
may make un assessment when the

that litis ossesstuent must ho made

ehargo is made that, the company has
given u privilege to a class of policy

that Governor Clarke will say to-day

Ouvornor Cl.rke says that it would
be a scandal on the good name of tho

However much tho people of Hot

of tho whole statu that he, us gov

A largo number of peoplo iu this

the law closely touching the guberna
torial power to prevent prize lighting,
haH'onttined his intentions In commu
nications addressed to officers at Hot
Springs and tlie-prlnclpals of tho pro
posed light. The governor will hold
himself ready to co-operate with, fudge
Diiffie, of the Hot Springs district, to
prevent thu fight, should It appear
that the local authorities full to im
press upon thu lighters and tlielr back
ers with sufficient fotre the propriety
of declaring tho light off. In his Icttor
to Judge Duillc, Governor Clark says:
"1 beg to assure you tint yoh shall
have my prompt and cheerful co-operation
In any effort you may make to
suppress the proposed prize fight at
Hot Springs. Any order that you
may make in this connection. shall not
prove ineffective for want of power to
enforce It. I say this with confidence,
because I hold In tho highest respect
the tldcllty nnd courage of Sheriff

said that even Jupiter sometimes nods.
If it shall, e outrary to my expecta

without the valuable ' aid of tho

that may bo nccessurv.
In addition to notifying President
Stnurt of the Florldn Athletic club by
mall of his determination to prevent
the light, Governor Clark telegraphed
to CorUett und Fitzsimmons as follows:
"I mn advised by tho press dis
patches that It is your purpose at an

inform you that such an net is a viola
tion of our law ami nn uffiont to thu
ventiment of slate pride entertained

"It will, therefore, not be possible,
for you to uoeumpllsh any such pur
pose, and any attempt upon your part
to do so will subject you to penalties
and to treatment that I um sure will
bo highly dlstastoful to yon. In tho

ut least Is the force that intliiciices
