Washington, Fob s Premier Sa

trleudly mediation on the part of the
United States. This information was
conveyed in a cipher message received
from Minister Woodford by President
McKlnley mi Friday.
Thu message was a most unusual
one. Instead of being addressed to
tho Secretary of Stute.lt was addressed
to tho President, u tiling which has
not happened since Consul General
Leo's famous cablegrams to President
Cleveland of nearly a year ago.
This cablegram from Woodford was
not long, but recited the fact that
Premier Sagastii refused to admit that
Spain had reached tho cud of her
ropo in Cuba; that she was unablo to
suppress the Insurrection; that auton
omy was a failure; or that she needed
tho assistance of tho United States in
bringing tho Cuban struggle to an
end.

hits fallen into the hands of usyudicatu
of Xew York capitalists, who have
completed the organization of a com
pany to control the exportation and
Importation of cattle and live stock of
all descriptions from and to tho re
public of Honduras. Tho concession
is for twenty-llvj years.
This concession was granted in Au

'Switzerland. His labors resulted in
tho formation a few days ago of tho
Honduras-American Cuttle, Agricul

four hours of yesterdny's executive
session in tho Senate in discussing tho
Hawaiian annexation treaty. During
tho course of his sneech Mr. Teller
took occasion to say that ho would
havo been glad to discuss
the treaty in open session, and
to tills remark hu added tho
opinion that tho timu had nlmost
come when thu question of annexation
should bo dobatcil upon u bill looking
to legislation by both houses of Con
gress rather than upon tiio basis of
tho treaty. Whilo he thought there
might bo u bure possibility of securing
thu sixty votes necessary to ratify the
treaty, ho conceded that, under tho
present circumstances, this was ex
ceedingly doubtful, and ho thought
thu sooner this fact should bo recog
nized und u clinugo of front made, tho
better it would bo from all points ol
view.
Senator Teller advocated tho ratlfl
nation of the treaty, basing his .rea
sons for this position upon tho grounds
that tho annexation of tho islands
was in tho interest of our commerce,
and in line with our national poll;
for the past half century.

LOOKS BAD FOR KENNEDY.

Kansao Cirv, Mo., Fob. 8. John
ICmncdy, tho train robber, will bo
turned over to thu county authorities
within thu next forty-eight hours to
bo tried for murder in the first de
gree, The police have evidence enough
against. Kennedy to ehnrge him with
tho murder of Emma Schumacher, tho
grocery woman, who was killed in her
store, Seventeenth and Campbell
streets, on the night of December 8.
Thoy believe they can send him to tho
gnllows.
William Handy, nn old negro who
was a slave for the Younger family
before Cole, Hob nnd Jim became
famous as train robbers, nnd who has
lived in tho fnmily of Mrs. Kit Hose, n
sister of tho Younger boys, lias told a
story that positively connects Ken
nedy with the crime, llo says that
Kennedy and James Hedmond, his ac
complice, confessed the murder in his
presence, llo wus at Hose's house,
1038 Sidney avenue, when Kennedy
and ltcdmoud drove tlrjre in n buggy
immediately after tho murder. Ho
liolpcil to dress the wound in Kcd
mond's faco, inflicted by a bullot
from Miss Schumacher's revolver,
llo says Kennedy took the buggy
uway aftor bringing Kcdmond to tho
house. Ilnndy's story is verified by
Kit Hose nnd by Suo Handy, his wife,
who is a servant In tho Koso family.
Handy says Kennedy and Hedmond
threatened to kill him if ho ever told
tho story of the crime. There is
plenty of evidence to corroborate his ,,
story. The police have found whoro
ho bought laudanum for tho wounded
and where he took burglar tools to n
blacksmith shop, llesidos, Kit Hoso
has udmitted that Kennedy and Hed
mond, the lattar wounded, camu to
his house tho night of tho Schumacher
tnurdar, and that Hedmond was cared
for there.
Kennedy does not boom at all
alnrincd about the ease the police
havo against him. lie says thut ho
can easily prove his movements und
whereabouts on the night of Miss
Schumacher's murder.
Slnco Handy tnado his statement
to tho ollleials the police have had him
In charge and kept him in hiding.
This Is done to protect him from Ken
nedy's friends and to keep him from
making his wholo story public.
Inspector llalpiu and Cassimer
Welch, deputy county marshal, who
went to St. Joseph, Mo., in search of
Hedmond Saturday night, returned
this morning without their man.
Tho police had received information
that Hedmond was in St, Joseph,
but Inspector Hatpin says ho could
not find him in St. Joseph. The sup
position is thut he bus gono to Kan
sas, and now the police havo notific 1
the marshals and chiefs of polico of
all Kansas aud Nebraska towns to be
on tho lookout for him. Tho polico
arc sending out n complete descrip
tion of Kidmond.
Connecting members of tholr family
with 11 band of robDors aud murdorcrs
will bo a hard blow to Colo and Jim
Younger. Thoy do not like Kit Hoso
and their relations with him wero
never very close. They are trying to
got a pardon for good behavior and
tho Kennedy oplsouo will reflect uo
credit on them.
