HAVANA , Oct. 12. ( New York WorM
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) When Gen
eral Lee camu to Cuba as consul general be
v as Instructed , first , to otter the friendly
Intervention of tlic United States to bring
Ibo revolt to a close ; second , to visit per
sonally the Cubans' headquarters , and , tblrd ,
to protect the lives and property of Ami-rl-
can citizens better tbnn bad been done be
fore. Secretary Olnoy Is responsible for
Ucncrat Leo's failure to carry out bis pro
gram , for tbc latter never bad any en
couragement from the secretary of state ,
nml , furthermore , bo received no backing
from tliu administration , and consequently
was forced to abandon one of bis plans.
Upon bis arrival hero be succeeded In
planning a settlement of tbc rebellion which
met with public favor. A petition was
drawn up and had been signed by more
than fiOO planters , merchants and politicians ,
both Cubans and Spanish , when General
Leo was called down from Washington. All
elianco of ending tha revolt through tbo
friendly Intervention of tbo United States
\VJB thus last through the weakness of tbo
i.ecrctary of state , then and now partial to
the Spanish legation at Washington.
General Leo prepared tolslt the rebel
headquarters. Vice Consul Springer bad
nlrrady obtained pcrmlHslon to act as conmil
Koneral during bis absence , and everything
was ready for General Leo's start , when
f-'cerctary "Olney sent word that Dupuy Ue-
Inmo. the Spanish minister , suggested that
tbc trip be not made , as Spain would not
approve General Lee's doings. Again the
tnnsul general's plans were upset. Finally
Genetal Leo discovered on apparent Indiffer
ence of the government at Washington to
the case of Delgado , an American citizen
who was maltreated and left for dead by the
troops ot General Mclqulzo , who was re
sponsible for the later Killing of tbo Ameri
can newspaper corcrspondeiit , Charles Govln ,
and for the Ill-treatment of other Ameri
cans slnco then.
SELFISHLY SAVES HIMSELF.
If Secretary Olney had pressed Spain for
a prompt and satisfactory settlement of
Dclgado'B claim tbo Madrid government
would have compelled Wcylcr to order his
olllccrE to respect Americans and BCO that
they were well cared for , but to carry
American cltlzcnnhlp papera nowaday ! Is fct !
moro dangerous than to carry a rebel pass.
It seems that the secretary of state In treat
ing the Spanish Cuban-American question
has solely regarded his personal Interest ,
knowing or suspecting that this war can
not be settled In n friendly way. Ills
jmllcy has been to delay the end of It at
Ibo expense of the welfare of his country
men. Ily doing so ho avoids for the present
complications with Spam. When they ar
rive ho will be out of olllco und some one
else will bo In his place. This selfish , un
patriotic course of tbo secretary of state lias
e-xauperatcd General Lee , whose u-port will
rqllcvo the consulate of responsibility of
future complications with Spain , which are
not far off , for Premier Canovas has an
nounced that war ships purchased and con
structed by bis government are not for
patrolling tbc Cuban coasts , as they are so
largo as to bo useless for this service. Who
docs not know that tbc only honorable way
for Spain to loac Cuba Is through a false
war with the United States ?
General Ilernnl arrived yeslerday from
Kspcr.inza. I'inar del lllo province , whither
bo had been forced lo retire after vainly

LONDON , Oct. 12. Lady Scott , the moth-
cr-ln-lnw of Earl Russell , who was arrested
on Friday evening on the complaint of Earl
Unwell , who charges her with criminal
libel , wan arraigned at Dow Street police
court today In company with John Cocker-
ton , a marine engineer , and Fred Kast ,
who are jointly accused with her.
Counsel for the earl detailed at length
the unhappy married life of the prosecutor ,
the suit of divorce brought against him by
the cotmUHii and Iho unsuccessful suit
which the latter brought moro recently
against him for a restitution of conjugal
rights In so doing counsel alluded to the
most serious charges made by the countess
and eubscqucntly retracted , and touched
upon the reflections cast upon Mr. II. A.
Roberts , the master of Hath college , who
successfully sued the countess for damages
as a result.
Kast and Cockerlon , It appears , were em
ployed on Earl Russell's yacht In 1877.
A bookseller named Cares testified that
Lady Scott brought him documents to get
printed and cent to a long list of people ,
members of the House of Commons , clubs ,
heads of colleges and railway station mas
ters , which contained the libel complained
of. Lady Scott , Cares says , also wrote him
as follows : "I want you to find me a rich
American gentleman to help me through
with these expenses with a view to marri
age. I have plenty of good offers , but 1
must get riches. "
Lady Scott , Cockcrton and Kast wore
commuted for trial.

cxpocled Mrs. Caitlo will plead guilty to

Missouri lands In Nebraska and Kansas can
not -be secured. Mr. Paddock bad a con-
"oroncc with Secretary Francis today , dur-
ng which the entire matter was dhcusscil
at some length for the benefit of the new
secretary. No definite action was taken In
the matter , but the representative of the
settlers Is sanguine that the secretary will
onscnt to having another proposition laid
before th ? Indians for action. It will bo re
called that the Indians consented to allow
: ho settlers a rebate of ten years' Interest
'rom the total amount due for the lands
on condition that settlement was made In
lull within ninety days after notice from
the secretary of the Interior of the deter
mination of the Indians. Tbc-o notices
wrro all distributed to the settlers by about
the middle of August and the ninety days
will expire some time next month. It will
require that length of time to submit a
new proposition to the Indians and Mr.
"addock hopes to have tbo machinery set
In motion within a day or two.
Speaking politically , Senator Paddock salt'

'esslon acknowledging that be wrs SFSO late I
In the affair. He says that the man killed
while resisting arrest near Elmore was hlr
brother. Hc , will not reveal his true naim
nor tbc location of Ills home.
The confession was secured by his captor

the two men In the Shcrburne bank. After
detailing the killing of the two men he said
ho and his brother were greatly alarmed
lest they be penned up In the bank , and
both agreed that they must work rapidly
Ho continues :
HI-TOUTS TO ESCAPE.
"I went to the money drawer and took mil
the money. I thought there was about $700
In the bunch that I bad. I put It In a sack
that we had for that purpa-e. And then we
cut the screen to the window and left town
on our bicycles. Just as we got on thf
bicycles I handed my brother the money and
ho put It In his bicycle bag.Ve separated
about two and one-half or three miles out
of rhcrburne. My brother , being the best
rider , made south for the state line , and 1
took a southwesterly direction , until I goi
south of Jackson , and then I struck south
along tbc DCS Moincs river to Algona. Then
I crossed the country around by Ilrltt and
Forest City lo Lake Mills. I bad a pretty
hard tlmo getting through. "
After making the confession lo Mnrtshal
Huby , the latter wanted the prisoner to tell
hl right name , but ho shook his head and
ald ; "I do not wish to let my fokn ! know
anything about this. I suppose I shall plead
guilty , under an assumed uame. "
The nameho first gave upon bclns taken
Into custody was Jim McMuIlen. Ho noxv
says that It Is fictitious , but will give no
other , so that under that narao he will
probably bo Indicted. Ho will bo taken tr
the Uluo Earth county Jail , located In Ulm
Earth City , for safekeeping. SB It Is con
sidered dangerous to lodge him In the count }
Jail at Falrmount. the county scat of
Martin county. In which the Shciburne affair
occurred.

on his way to Ulue Earth City , where he
Ls to bo Jailed for safety. He would certainly
bo lynched In Martin county , where the
crime was committed , and there Is fear thai
even In Farlbault an attempt to lynch him
may bo made. He has confessed. In addition
to his previous admissions , that ho and the
head robber , his brother , fired a barn at
Heron Lake , Minn. , a week ago today , with
the Idea of robbing the bank during the ex

led out lo hca. At llrlghtnn Roach the
tone walks In front of Iho big hotel were

ftcrnosn. tin- famous Scldl concert hall was
nund.itcd and partially carried away. The
veil kept lawns In front of tbc Oriental
lotol , and Manhattan I'.caih bold were laid
vnsto and the lower portions of Iho hotels
ioodi-d. Innumerable small buildings were
iHicd up bodily and carried away by wind

At Far Rockaway Ihe fury of the gale wo *
ndescrlbable. Those houses which were
tullt on piles In sand were washed away ,
nd those higher up , which for > earo have

CONEY ISLAND SWEPT.
Coney Island beach was swept by the
waves of the highest tide In the history ot
; ho famous resort. A largo number of tem
porary structures along the water front
were destroyed. The boulcvaid wnu Hooded'
as far as Neptune avenue. The shelter
louses nt the Intersection or the concourBO
and boulevard were washed away. Waves
running mountain high battered the plaza
in front of tha Ilrlghton lleacli hotel , and
: ere away part of tbc concert pavilion In
which Antonio Poldl's orchestra gives Its
> erformanccs. The Ocean hotel , west of the
Hrlghlon Reach hotel , was surrounded by
water and Its foundations were racked.
S'umcrous bathing pavilions and amusement
louses , Including the llrlghtnn , were either
wrecked or damaged , among tbo latter being
the club house of tbo Seaside Athletic club.
Tbo old Iron pier , which was believe. , to bo
nvlliclble , was buffeted by tbc storm , and
over twenty windows were cut In two by the
mighty Impact of the waves.
At 2 o'clock the waves we're still working
havoc , wrecking everything they could
teach on the bejch. Manhattan lleacli
shared Ihe disaster with other sections of
tbo Island. Much of Ihe ornaments on thu
grounds In front of the Manhattan Beach
hotel were swept away and the magnificent
lawn In front of the swell Oriental hotel
was made dismal waste.
At 2:30 : o'clock a monster wave struck
tbo concert pavilion at Ilrlghtan beach
and tore away two-thirds of the structure.
The Ilrlghton Beech race track stables are
flooded and tbo hoiscs have been removed
to stables along the boulevard. A rough
esllmato of the financial loss along tbo
Coney Island beach places It at $200.000.
Hog Islind , during the afternoon , added
another big section to that portion which
had previously gone out to sea und another
such storm would wipe it and several other
adjoining districts out ot existence alto
gether. The ferry house , dock , board walk
and pavilion of the Far Rockaway Improve
ment company were totally wrecked. The
Casino , the United States hotel and the
Tackapausba bouse and tbo Dolphin hotel
were among those buildings which had at
leabt two feet of water on their ground
floors.
At Avcrne several summer collages were
lifted from Ihelr foundations and com
pletely wrecked. In Nev : Jersey all the
lowlands were under water and there ore.
as usual , washouts of railroads lying al" '
the coasl. Al Sandy Hook , where uvon
the breath of a breeze can bo twisted Into
a gale , last night's blow was a howllns
hurricane. The wjvts broke higher than
over before and at one time the old tower
which Incoming and outgoing ships signal
shook and tottered us though It would be
blown over.
WOR8T IN SEVEN YEARS.
The term was the most devastating that
has visited Sea Iblc City since the great
Storm of 1889 , which was accompanied by
a tidal'wave. The sticcts were flooded and
many hotels and cottages along the narrow
strip of sand between Townncnd and Car
son's Inlets were wrecked or badly damaged.
Last eight the sea attacked the beach In
front of the Drunswlck hotel , the Uncut
structure on that pnrton of the coasl. To
day It completed Its work. Early In tlio
aftcrnonn , thp front of tbo building began
lo bag. It dropped 'wor and lower as tbo
waves beat up against It and In the rnlddlo
of Iho afternoon the structure fell In , a
moss of ruliiH. North of Sea lule City , tbo
fronts ot many of the cottages have been ,
undermined. Some of the cottages have al
ready fallen and others are ready lo fall.
Many cntattrophoa must come when Ihe sea
resumes Its pounding at high tide.
At Long Uranch the new lion pier which
many limes during thn day was affected to
its very foundation , II.IH thus far stood the
test. U is thought It may go before morn
ing It the force of tbc waves Is not abated1.
All day Iho gale blew fifty miles an hour
at Anbury park. At high lido , noon , It
scorned to bo at the maximum. Thousands
of people lined the shore and watched the
fury of tbu VUVPH and thu destruction that
came with every breaker. Every movable
thing that came within reach of the water
was useif au n banning ram to break down
the btructuics on the beach. The great walk
