RELIEF GIVES CUBA
SAGASTA MINISTRY DECIDES TO
GRANT AUTONOMY
Campaign to Be Continued So Tons
as Rebellion Exists We jler Declares
He Will Not Resign Seven Girls
Die in a 3irc
Spunisb Butcher Defiant
At a cabinet council in Madrid the
Spanisli Government decided to grajit au
tonomy to Cuba under the suzerainty of
Spain and to continue the campaign as
long as may be necessary Senor Sagasta
the premier lias received a cable mes
sage from Ciptain General Wcyler who
offers his services to the Government and
says I shall not resign Senor Gallon
minister of foreign affairs explained to
the cabinet the position of the diplomatic
negotiations with the United States
The first important step of the new
Spanish Government was ihe decision to
grant autonomy to Cuba So far as learn
ed in the meager telegrams received this
plan of autonomy s to be subject to the
vrerainty of Spain Iufosination is lack
ing as to its scope over legislation and
taxation the most significant factors in
the elf govennnent of any country From
the fact however thai the statement is
made that the Sagasta ministry intends
to continue the campaign in Cuba so long
as rebellion exists the logical deduction
is that the autonomy agreed on is limited
that it will not satisfy the insurgent
leaders
Hut whether limited or liberal it is
feared this concession to the rebels will
create a storm in Spain Taken in con
nection with a dispatch saying that Wey
ler has refused to resign as captain gen
eral thus compelling the Sagasta gov
ernment to recall him the affair will fur
nish effective campaign material for the
Spanish conservatives The latter will
undoubtedly point to Weylers determined
operations againyt the Cubans and tell
the electors that his withdrawal means
the island will be lost 1o Spain With
relation to American intervention Sa
gastas step is considered shrewd diplo
macy in that it will tend to postpone a
settlement Diplomats say that Amer
icas hands are now virtually tied until
tho autonomy plan is given a trial in
Cuba
PASSING OF NEAL DOW
Brief Sketch of the Veteran Prohi
bitionist Leaders Career
It was on the 20th of last March that
the whole temperance world celebrated
the ninety third birthday of Gen Neal
Dow whose death is now recorded For
half a century previous he had held a
unique place in the public eye and for
GEX KEAL DOW
enty years of his long life he had been a
leader in temperance work His first
movement in this direction was when he
induced the town authorities of Portland
Me where he was born to abstain from
ringing the old town bell at 11 and 4
oclock for the citizens to take a drink In
1S51 the Maine Legislature after years
of Dows bombardment passed the fam
ous prohibition law
At GO years of age he raised the Thir
teenth Maine and led it to the front was
shot four times and landed in Libby pris
on At an age when most men are dead
be lectured all over the earth on temper
ance Sixty seven years ago he was mar
ried and in 1SS0 he was the candidate for
President on the prohibition ticket Death
was due to old age
FIERCE FLAMES IN DETROIT
Opera House and Two Business Houses
Are in Utter Ruins
The center of Detroit was the scene at
1 oclock Wednesday morning of a con
flagration which totally destroyed three
large buildings and contents damaged
several others and threatened the destruc
tion at least an entire block of the most
I valuable property in the city
The blaze originated on the stage of the
Detroit opera house Simultaneously with
the breaking out of the lire there were
several loud explosions presumably the
bursting of the stage lighting apparatus
The flames quickly enveloped the rear of
the theater and made a furnace of the in
terior The opera house with all its con
tents was destroyed in short order The
rear of the ten story building occupied by
the H Leonard Furniture Company
caught fire and nothing of the structure
ior contents remains but the steel frame
The four story buildiug of the Michel Ta
ble Supply Company east of the theater
was gutted and partially destroyed and
several other buildings were slightly dam
aged The losses it is believed will reach
the vicinity of 250000 A block of tene
ment houses at the foot of Hastings street
caught tire from sparks from the opera
house fire and were destroyed
WHEAT CROP ESTIMATE
Figures on Threshing Returns Indi
cate a Yield of 5S9000O0O Bushels
The Orange Judd Farmer in its final
estimate of the years wheat crop says
that figures based on actual threshing re
turns indicate a total yield of 5S9000000
bushels ef which 373030000 Is winter
and 21470000 bushels spring wheat
With the exception of Illinois and Mis
souri the winter -wheat yield represents
the full capacity of the soil The spring
wheat yield in Minnesota and the Da
kotns has proven a disappointment the
aggregate being only 129000000 bushels
The shortace there is in a measure coun
terbalanced by the good yield in Nebras 1
ITS M1NEI ITS MINE THIS POLE IS MN5I
Lieut Gov Mcintosh of the Northwest Territory referring to the Baflinland
story and speaking for John Hull it is all Kriti h territory right up to the north
pole and there is no need to assert formal sovereignty Any person who dis
covers the pole from the Occidental side will have to reckon with me for it is all
within my province
ka Oregon and Washington The report
says the corn crop is exceedingly disap
pointing at an outside estimate of l7r0
000000 bushels Drought during the
past two months reduced the average con
dition from S23 a month ago to 7S9 on
Oct 1 An average of oats yield of 2S7
bushels per acre suggests a crop of 814
000000 bushels 100000000 more than

PANIC AT A BIG FIRE
Residents of Chicago Stock Yards Dis
trict Terrorized by Flames
Ten acres of ground a waste of ashes
the homes of a dozen families destroyed
the entire Chicago stock yards district
threatened by flames five persons injured
and one said to be burned to death and a
property loss of over 80000 This is the
result of a lire that for two hours Wed
nesday afternoon had the people living
near the stock yards in a panic of terror
Unit led them to believe that the great
conflagration of 1S71 was to be duplicat
ed almost on its twenty sixth anniversary
The llames were first seen in one of the
stock yards horse barns just opposite the
end of Forty fourth street at Halsted a
little before 3 oclock They spread with
startling rapidity The attendants who
rushed to the rescue of the 500 horses be
ing kept there were chased from stable to
stable by the flames and their duty was
only accomplished at the imminent risk
of their lives In fifteen minutes it was
evident that the horse barns were doomed
bejond any possibility of salvation In
thirty minutes their destruction was so
nearly complete that their frameworks
had disappeared and nothing but a mass
of flames and fire marked their location
The whole region was in a panic and
men came hastily from every side to aid
the firemen in their struggle to save the
surrounding buildings The wind that
blew strongly from tho south carried the
flames and burning pieces of timber di
rectly upon the great doomed pavilion
which is the center of the whole horse
traffic in the yards At 530 oclock the
flames finally were got under control
The fire was the worst that has taken
place in the stock yards district for many
years The drought of the past months
and the heavy wind that was blowing
combined to make its progress very easy
The firemen who were called from all
parts of the city to fight it came exhaust
ed from hard work in keeping down the
prairie fires that had been threatening
the suburbs in half a dozen places and
were in poor condition to work against a
holocaust

A Michigan Man Who Struck It
Rich in Alaska
Frank Phiscator the Michigan man
who returned to San Francisco with his
pockets full of gold and millions staked
out for the future is just the sort of a
boy that likes the life of the mountain
and the wilderness His father died twenty-five
years ago and his mother passed
away ten years ago Frank lit out for
the boundless West when he was 10 years
old He longed for room to move about
and Michigan was overpopulated He
drifted to Yellowstone Park He took to
horseback riding naturally and was soon
engaged carrying the mail over a sixty
mile route He liked the work and en
joyed himself as he put away his salary
This sort of life gave him muscles as hard
as rock and as strong as steel He won
health and fortune out of his work About

VENEZUELAS PRESIDENT
Gen Jgnacio Andrade Whose Kleccion
Is Announced
The election of Gen Ignacio Andrade
as president of Venezuela is regarded as
a signal victory for the proposed arbi
tration between Venezuela and Great
Britain Gen Andrade has always been
an earnest advocate of that means for
settling the long standing disputes His
election was considered for a time iD
doubt owing to the violent opposition of
political s eheniers in the Venezuelan con
gross to the treaty recently ratified largely
through his efforts If he had been de
feated it would have meant a serious set
back to the work already accomplished
by the State Department Andrade has
long been a conspicuous figure in the na
tional life of his republic He is 58 years
old and is the son of Gen Jose Escolas
tico Andrade one of Venezuelas famous
figures He lived in America for somp
time and is closely in touch with Ameri
can ideas His brother is the Venezuelan
minister in this country and has proved
himself a very astute diplomatist Gen
Andrade himself is an old friend and ally

GIRLS DIE IN A FIRE
Burning of a Dormitory at the South
Dakota Industrial School
At Plankinton S D seven persons an
dead as the result of a fire which destroy
ed the girls dormitory at the State in
dustrial school between 12 and 1 oclock
Wednesday morning All others num
bering about twenty five succeeded in es
caping but they saved nothing and had
no time to dress getting out in their night
robes and with great difficulty The origin
of the lire is unknown but it is supposed
to have caught from the explosion of a
lamp The loss is about 25000 and
includes the printing office of the institu
tion and the chapel
All were asleep and tho building was en
veloped in flames before any one discov
ered the danger The State school now
accommodates about 100 inmates from
young children to offenders 18 years old
Besides the burned building is a boys
cottage in which dwells Col Ainsworth
the officer in charge and there are several
bams and sheds The burned building
will probably be replaced at once It was
a three story frame structure only re
cently completed The night watchman
who went from building to building dis
covered the fire
There is no fire protection at the school
ns it is a mile and a half from town and
within twenty minutes from tho discovery
of the fire the building had fallen Sup
erintendent Ainsworth was in Illinois at
the time but Mrs Ainsworth had tho
help of the entire town Those who per
ished in the flames got out of the build
ing but returned for clothing and it is
supposed they became bewildered There
was no insurance whatever on the build
ing but it is learned that it will be re
constructed at once
