SPAIN PHOMISnS HUMAM2 ACTION.
General Weyler Will Continue Gen
eral CatnnoM' Policy In Cuba.
( CopyrlRht , 1856 , by Pros * Putilljhlnir Compnny. )
PARIS , Feb. 4. ( New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram. ) Reliable Intelli
gence was received last evening that the
Spanish government has made A brilliant
diplomatic stroke In connection with the re
cent resolution reported to the United States
senate anent Cuban affairs. The senate reso
lution called on Spain In a friendly manner
to recognize the Cuban rebels a bclllgurenls.
This singular request something unique In
the way of foreign statecraft caused dis
cussion at Madrid. The government of Senor ,
Canovns understood the reasons vhlch
prompted the senate committeennd at n
cabinet council M WAS decided to respond
promptly and to display un entirely nirlcnble
and courteous- attitude toward the American
government and. people.
Accordingly the minister of foreign af
fairs addressed a cipher dispatch to Senor
do Lome , the Spanish minister at Washing
ton. The latter was directed to Inform Sec
retary of State Olney Immediately that what
the wnnto committee asks In Its resolution Is
exactly what General Martinez Campos had
been doing whllo governor general of Cuba.
Ho had been so lenient In his treatment of
those In rebellion against the lawful gov
ernment of Cuba as to arouse criticism
among military men everywhere. His for-
bcarnnco Is already. It Is understood , a
household word throughout the United States.
The newly appointed governor general , Lieu
tenant General Weyler Nlcalau.wlll , from In
clinationto bay nothing of his Instructiondo as
Campos has done , provided the rebels re
ciprocate and contlnuo lo treat prisoners
and wounded humanely , as they have done
up to the prc3nt time. They should stop
burning and destroying In a Fystematlc
manner the property of non-combatants , a
mode of warfare entirely at variance with
European Ido.is of clvlllratlon.
Spain has again taken the moral obllga-
llon ot accompllrhliiK the suppression of the
rebel In a clvlllzjd manner , and ventures
to express the belief that the rebels should
also uro civilized method ? .
The Spanish memorandum Is raid to bo
very dignified , as well ns friendly. As It
was cabled to Washington last Thursday
night , It must ere this have- been presented
to the State department.

LONDON , Feb. 4. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Cecil Rhodes ,
who was premier ot Cape Colony at the tlmo
of Jameson's raid Into the Transvaal , l < s In
London. At Ills arrival today there was as
much ot a popular ovation at Paddlngton
station as the conservative , or perhaps fright
ened , managers of the Chartered South Af
rica company would permit. A large crowd
had gathered , but the whilom dictator was
hurried Into a prosaic four-wheeler and
whirled away. Perhaps an Interesting fact
for your fair readers Is that well dressed
ladles predominated In the crowd un the
station platform awaiting the arrival cf Mr.
Rhodes' train , Arthur Dalfour , a bachelor ,
Ilko Rhodes , by the way , -arrived by u train
a few minutes earlier and was mistaken for
the latter and loudly cheered.
I hear on excellent authority that the
queen , In common with the vast majority of
the ladles of the kingdom , as well as proba
bly their husbands , Is an earnest advocate of
the bestowal of peerages upon Rhodes and
Jameson. Lidy Warwick , Indeed , has pub
lished a letter In the Times , defending him
through thick and thin. Her majesty's
earnest advocacy , according to official gos
sip , explains much that Is otherwise mys
terious In the action of the cabinet. Lord
Salisbury , her loyal and devoted friend ,
cchcod by his organ , the Times , has not a
word to say against , but everything by In
ference in favor of Jameson.
The colonial secretary , Chamberlain , In
dependent , able , aggressive , knowing that he
has been from the first unwelcome In the
cabinet , Is pursuing hlo chosen course , ap
parently undaunted. If be persists In ar
ranging and securing an Impartial trial of
the Invaders , he may be forced out of the
cabinet , but what a record for htm that
would be In history.
I may add that there Is also a very hos
tile feeling In the conservative mercantile
and Investment clashes In England against
the South African sudden millionaires and
their methods. For the last year or sa no
new 5 or 6 psr cent enterprise has had any
chance In the London market , while the
dazzling prospect of 300 or 400 per cent in
South African mining schemes was attract
ing capital. Chamberlain would have that
element behind him , to ray nothing of
reasonable Englishmen , who recognize that
Jameson and his band were really and only
filibusters , and that their example , unless ro-
bukcd and punished , might almost any day
and any where In the foreign colonial
world , be followed with war as the probable
result.
The newspapers here and the , prc-ss agen
cies are cabling to America" 'the etatejnent
that Dunraven went to Sandrlngham yester
day to consult tha prlr.co of Wales In re
gard to the best action for him to take In
view , nf tl-e Inquiry committee's report. This
Is absurd' since the prince has been since
Tuesday morning at the Isle of Wight to
receive the body of his brothar-ln-law ,
Prince Henry of Ilattenburg. Tha false re
port Is doubtless due to the fact printed
by the World exclusively last Saturday
that Lord Dunraven was at Sandrlngham
when the report of the committee was re
ceived In London. BALLARD SMITH.

LONDON , Feb. 4. Hon. A. J. Dalfour , first

last night , confining himself mainly to home
politics. He declared that the government
lias done all in Its power to prevent the
Armenian horrors and that It had not prevent
ed Russia from Intervening. Russia , he said ,
had not been willing to undertake the duty.
Mr. Balfour closed wltii an eloquent peroration
In favor of an alliance between the two great
Arglo-Saxon races.
"What would Edmund Burke hnvo
thought , " he asked , "had he been living
now , to ECO our brethren across the
Atlantic forgetful of all the tics of kindred ?
His eloquent voice would have Been raised
In pleading for the common language of
governments and hearts. If we have no
Burke either here or In America , I am well
pc-rpuadcd that the generous sense of both
eireat countries will speak even without the
mighty Impulse of his voice. If that be so ,
and If we be In alliance with America , we
can carry out iho duties which Providence
lias Intrusted to us ,
"I do not believe this empire need fear the
mcraco of external foes. Still less do I
bellovo that It has anything to fear from the
manace of an Internal division. "
Mr. Balfour was greeted with prolonged
cheers upon the close.

breach of legislation for the government to

"It Is unprecedented for the British cabinet

NEW YORK , Feb. 4. A epcclal dispatch

saye : The condition of the Fort Stanwlx
Natlonnl bank proves to bo very b.id. It Is
stated on good authority that the bank Is
Involved to the extent ot nearly $ < 00,000.
Of this amount It Is said there" are $200,000
In drafts of the J. Wlnslow Jcncs Packing
company of Baltimore and other concerns
atsoclatcd with It , $100,000 of nilMcllmcotts
bad paper and a $76.000 defalcation by Cas-U-
Icr Barnard. This amount will swamp the
bank and throw It Into the hands of a re
ceiver. The capital stock Is $150,000 and
the surplus nnd undivided profits $170,000
more , eo the stockholders must bo assessed.
U Is alleged that lately Cas-hicr Bnrnard had
been speculating In slocks In the hope of
being able to make up for losses to the bank
through mlflmanaicmeiit.
ROME , N. Y. , Feb. 4. There was great
excitement among the cltlzsns when It was
loarne.l today from an authoritative sourcs
that the shortage In the fort Stanwlx Na
tional bank nmcninto up to the present tlmo
to $375,000 , and that Hon. George Bnrnard ,
who , before his sulcldo last Saturday , was
Uio trusted cashier , ox-mayor and vestryman
of Zlon Episcopal chrnch , would bo found In
debt personally nearly $75,000. Bank Ex
aminer Van Franklin will not yet go Into the
details of the bank affairs , nor will ho cither
affirm or deny anything In that connection.
A complete examination has not been made ,
and the shortage , ns learned today , hat ) been
estimated after a partial examination. One
of tlio directors of the bank told the Asso-
c'ated press man that ho would not bo sur
prised If the shortaga amounted to $500,000 ,
and declared Barnard's personal shortage
might reach $100,000. Barnard had not
taken a vacation for thirty years , and after
today's disclosures the reason for this is
found In the belief that he did not desire
any ono but himself to handle his acounts.
So far as the habits of the man ore con
cerned , during the many years he has re
sided In this city It hns always been thought
that he Indulged In no extravagances nnd no
( peculations. The overdrafts of the J. W.
Jones Canning company of Baltimore and
others amount to $200,000 , It Is said , but who
the others are cannot bo learned. President
Uttloy telegraphed today that ho will bo
hera on Friday and the directors desire
nothing to be done until his return. An ef
fort will then be made to get together enough
money to warrant the bank's going Into
voluntary liquidation.

CHAMBERLAIN , S. D. , Feb. 4. ( Special. )
South Dakota stockmen have been accus
tomed to replenish their herds by purchasing
cattle from ranchmen In Indian territory.
By reason of a recent ruling at Washington
the range pasture lands In that region can
now be rented from the government agents.
As this enables the large stock growers tu
procure an abundance of range privileges ,
It practically settles tho. question ot pur
chasing cattle there , because with plenty ot
range the stockmen do not care to sell.
Therefore the South Dakota catllo companies ,
ono of which wanls to purchase 0,000 head
of cattle this spring , will he compelled to
go elsewhere to make the purchase.
Encouraging reports are received from the
Medicine creek and White river ranges. The
cattle are at present In bettor conJIilon
than at any tlmo during the past year ; In
fact , they ore now In better condition for
market than they wore last fall. Young
stock that wcro placed on the range Inst
fall , many very late at that , nro taking on
fat ovary day , and many of them uro looking
is well as cattle ralecd on the r mi go nnd
accustomed to rustling for themselves. Not
a forkful ! of hay has been fed this winter.
I fortes that have roamed on the range all
winter , and perhaps have not .been seen by
thrlr owners for months , could not look
better. While colder weather and a utorm
or two are not unlikely before the opening ot
spring , with the fine eturt cattle now have
there cannot be any very heavy losses.

H s nothing mere than a formal statement

friends scores of times In the last fifteen
month * . He has
repeatedly declared himself
disinclined to undergo the trials of another
presidential canipiBn , and this formal ex

"Tho effect of General Harrison's action

pr.-spocts , con
tinued Mr. Miller , "can hardly be other than
helpful. Hn and the governor arc friends
and have many friends In common. U seems
to mo that the general's followers should
turn Instinctively to the governor , now that
their own lender has withdrawn from the
field. At all events , the Harrlsjn letter will
add now fcrco and determination to the
movement for Governor Morton's nomina

large.DISCUSSED
DISCUSSED AT TUB CAPITAL.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 4. Speaking of ox-
President Harrlpon'B letter , Senator Davis
of Minnesota said : "I have no doubt that
General Harrison means Just what he says.
It Is characteristic of the man and It takes
him out of the race. I am not surprised
at the announcement , for I have believed
for some tlmo that his attitude was as Indi
cated by his letter. "
General L. T. Mlchenor , well known as an
old-tlmo friend of General Harrison , and
ono who had much to do with hlg nomina
tion , was asked to.lay for an expression con 4
cerning General Hnrrlscii'D letter. Ho said :
"I have no doubt that the decision of Gen
eral Harrison is final. Slnco ho left tha
white house ho has never had the slightest
desire to return to It as president. Of course ,
the constant expressions favorable to his
nomination and election have been gratify
ing In the sense that they represented the
approval of his course while president nnd
confidence In his ability to restore prosperity
to the country.
"I do not know what Indiana will do , but
I Imagine that all candidates will develop
strength there , especially Mr. McKlnley and
Mr. Allison. The manufacturing centers will
probably bo disposed to support McKlnley ,
while the other sections , I should think ,
would be- very likely to go to Allison or
Morion. It seems to mo that Mr. Allison
\yould naturally have considerable support
from the state , not only nx n matter of grati
tude for the timely ard undent uport whck |
General Harrison derived from the Allison .
men In the national convention of 1888 , but
'also because- his concede ! , abilities and
kpown conservative charactcrlutlcs and vlowa
wculd make him particularly satisfactory la
these friends of General Harrlbon who wcro
drawn to him because of his possession ot
the same qualities. "
General Harrison's letter of withdrawal ,
from the presidential ra.ce save an unusual
Impetus (9 ( political talk abut the capital
today. There are active workers In con-
grcs9 _ for the nomination of Heed , Morton.
McKlnley and Allison , and ( ho friends of
each of these candidates found cause for
encouragement in the letter , which they
say removes the ox-president from the list
of possibilities. No one suggested any
doubt of the sincerity of Mr. Harrison's
declaration , and most of them professed to
believe that Its result would strengthen their
own candidate.
WHATT DINGLEY THINKS OF IT.
Mr. Dlngiey of Maine. Svho la Speaker
Heed's closest frlond In the house , was not
reluctant to Kay about General Harrison's
letter that It undoubtedly removed him
from the field as a presidential factor. lie-
added that no one who knew Mr. Harrison
had' believed him to bo a candidate and
that the letter was not a surprise.
Senator Hansbrough , who Is a strong ad
vocate of the nomination of Senator Davis ,
raid ho thought the withdrawal of General
Harrison would benefit the Minnesota can
didate very materially. "Ho will bo nom
inated , " added Mr. Han ? ! > rnngh.
Mr. Hepburn of Iowa , who Is ono of the
conynltteo having Mr. Allison's Interests at
Washington In charge , says : "Harrison has
always recognized tlio aid given him In 188&
by the Immediate friends of Allison at a
critical period of his candidacy. Ho has a
high regard for the ability of the senator , ns
was evinced by the earnest demand he made
that the senator should bo a member of hla fl
cabinet ns secretary of the treasury In 18S9 ,
and which demand would have been ac
ceded to but for the protest of the repub
licans of Iowa , who were unwilling to lese
him from the senate.
Senator Carter , chairman of the national
republican committee , said : "The letter of
General Ilhrrlfwn to Chairman Gov/dy Is In
strict accord with every expression I have
hoard him mnko since the election of 1892.
Very shortly after the election he wrote mo
an autograph letter , tendering IIH ! personal
thanks to the committee , and expressing his
cordial appreciation of the ssrvlces rendered.
In that letter ho manifested grave concern
for the welfare of the country under the
policy of the successful party. I take tha
liberty of quoting from his letter :
" 'I could not feel munh personal Interest
In a result that Bccmed to me BO full ot
heavy burdens. But for our good friends and
for tha country I am full of regret. Prosper
ity In an unexampled manner was ours , and
the future was big with Increase. But the
people have chosen reaction and retrogres
sion. Experience Is not Instructive ; each
generation must have Its own. The antag
onism between the workman and his em
ployer made the former deliver a blow which
I pray God he may novcr feel , but which I fear
he will. '
"These expressions of concern for the gen
eral welfare ot the country , separate and
apart from any personal relation , have char
acterized every utterance from General Harrison
risen In my presence from the election of
1892 to the present time. At nn tlmo has
he , to my knowledge , directly or Indirectly
Indicated to any person a desire to secure the
presidential nomination of 1890. "
LONDON , Feb. fi. The Times has an edi
torial discussing ex-President Harrison's re
tirement and the chances of other candidates ,
In which It says It thinks Cleveland will now
derive an advantage' from a fair and honorable
settlement of the Venezuelan affair , The
Times also dwells upon the necessity of the
llrltlsh and American negotiators obtaining
