WASHINGTON. May 21. The cabinet
meeting today was not of long duration , but
It wns Interesting , ber-auso the principal
BUbJect of dlscubslon was that of our rela
tions toward Cuba. The action of the ecn-
nto yesterday In passing Iho Morgan Joint
roolutlcn declaring a state of war ex
isted In Cuba was regarded as a movement
that threatened , If carried out to the end ,
to Interfere rerloualy with the efforts of the
executive branch of the government to ac
complish Bomethlng substantial for the
liunatia. Tbo details of the plan which
I'rmldcnt McKlnley has In mind have not
yet been dlucloscd , In fact , It may bo said
that they nro subject to change upon the
basle of tbo latest ofllclal Information
that Is received from Cuba , probably from
Mr. Calhoun. Ilut It was clearly manifested
In the cabinet meeting today that tbo presi
dent has made up his mind to another for
ward step , and that while up to this time
ho has , as he promised In the beginning of
hla administration , confined his efforts largely
to securing alwoluto protection for American
citizens In Cuba , ho has now como to the
determination to use his powers to stop the
bloodshed In the Island to far as this can be
done without Involving the United States In
Tliero was eomo talk respecting the ap
plication of relief measures In favor of
American citizens In Cuba now that the
resolution suggested by the president has
passed both branches of congress. It was
deemed that the delay In the formal signature
of the resolution would not necessarily pre
vent the Immediate application of some of the
money to feeding the people who arc rep
resented as In great distress , as the drafts
cannot ho received before the formalities are
completed nnd the resolution becomes a law ,
Tliero were other matters briefly discussed
In the meeting , among them being the full
report of the forestry commission upon the
reservation question which has caused so
much debate In congress , but no action was
taken on this subject.
The secretary of otato has directed Consul
General Leo nt Havana to draw for
Immediate purchase of supplies and med
icines for the relief of American cit
izens and transportation of such ns
are without means and deslro to return
to the United States , not to exceed $10,000.
Jlo Is also Instructed to furnish United
States consuls In Cuba , nt his discretion ,
funds for this purpose. United States Con
sul Hrlco nt Matanzas has been Instructed
by the secretary of statn to apply to Consul
General Lee for funds with which to relieve
American citizens there.

Attitude of the Kx-1'reNlilen t Toward
the Ciiliaii Insurgent * .
WASHINGTON , May 21. The reply of
Dupuy do Lome , the Spanish minister , to
the offer made by Secretary Olney , of media
tion muilo on behalf of this government , con
tains tbo following language Indicative of the
attitude of the last administration :
The government of his majesty nppre-
cliite.M to Its full value tlin noble frankness
with which , the United Stntcf has Informed
it of the very dellnlto opinion It haH formed
In regard to the legal Impossibility of gruntIng -
Ing the recognition of nelllKorenoy to the
Cuban Insurgents. Indeed , those who arc
now- fighting In Cuba ngimist the BpnnlHli
fatherland possess no qualification entitling
Ihem to tliu regncct and even of the con
sideration of the other countries ; they do
not , as your excellency ( .xpresses It , possess
nny civil government established and or-
KI nlreil with 'a known seat nnd administra
tion of defined territory nnd they have not
succeeded In permanently occupying any
4own much loss nny city , largo or small.
Your excellency declares in the note to
which I am now replying- , with great legal
acumen and spontaneously , that It Is Im
possible ! for the Cuban Insurgents to per
form Iho functions of a regular government
within Its own frontiers , und much leas to
rxcrclnn the rights nnd fulfill the obliga
tions that nro Incumbent on all members
of thu family of nations. Moreover , their
wysteinatlc campaign of destruction against
nil the Industries of the Island and the
means by which they are. worked would , of
Itself , be mtltk'loiH to keep them without
the pule of the universally recognized rules
of International law.
Ills mnjesty's government has read with
no less gratification the explicit anil spon
taneous declarations to the effect Hint the
government of the United States nets no
ndvantaRO In connection with the Cub.in
question. Its only whh being that the In
eluctable nnd lawful soveielgnty of Spain
bo maintained and even strengthened
through the submission of the rebels which
ns your excellency states In your note , Is
of parnmoiint necpslty to tlio Spanish gov
ernment , for the maintenance of Us au-
tborllv and Its honor.
While expressing the high gratlfloathn
with which hlH majesty's ' government took
note of tlin emphatic Hlnlcinent which your
excellency was pleased to tnako In your
note of the 4lh of April , with regard to the
sovereignty of 8nuln nnd t > iu ( IcterniliKulr.n
of the Pnltt'd States not to do anything
derogatory to It ami nrknowl ilfni ; ! ; with
pleasure nil the weight they .ir-y , ihe duke
of Tallinn says that nothing oU win to bo
expected of the lofty scnso nf Iho light
cherished hy thei government of the United
Bluies.
It Is unnecessary , ns your cxct'lli'iu'y re
marks. und In view of so correct nnd ro
friendly an attltudo to dlxciiss the hypoth
esis of intervention , as It would be utterly
InconnlHtent wllh the nbove views. Tlu
government of his majesty , the king of
Hpaln , fully concurs In the opinion that your
cxcolloncy was pleased to express In regard
to the future of the Islnnd In the event ,
nhlrh cannot and shall not lie , nf the In
surrection In Its triumph , There can be
no greater ncouracy of judgment than that
displayed by your excellency , and ns you
eald with grcnt reason , mieh a termination
of the conflict would ho looked upon with
the most serious inHKlvliiRH. oven by thf
mont cnthuslnstlo mlvncalo of popular gov
ernment , bvcauKi * , ns remarked liy your ex
cellency , with the heterogeneous combina
tion of races that exUt there the dlsnppear-
nnco of Hpnln would bo the illrappenrance
of the only bond of union which can keep
them In balance , nnd an unnvoldnblei striij-
Klo among the men of different color , con
trary to the spirit of ChrlHtlnn civil ten I Ion.
Would supervene ,
Tlio Spanish government Is nwnro of 'ho
fact that , far from having justice done It
on nil side * ) , there arc many persons , obvi
ously deceived by Incessant slanders,9 who
honestly believe that ferocious despotism
prevails In our Antilles Inatcml of one of the
most liberal political systems In the world
being enjoyed there now an well as bcfsre
the outbreak of the Insurrection.
The government of his majesty and the
people of Spain wish nnd even long for
epeedy iinclllcntloii In Cuba. In order to
Eecurn Unit ( hey nro enger to exert their
l > e > t efforts and nt the same time adopt
uch reforms ns may bo necesrnry and com.
jKitlblc , of course , with their lniilli > nnblo
sovereignty , as soon aa the Mtbmlyxlon of
the Insurgents bo accomplished ,
The minister of statr ( Duke of 'JYtuar *
-whllu dlrectliiL' me to bring to the knowl
edge of your excellency the foresolng views ,
Instructs me to remark how pleased he waa
to observe thnt his opinion on this point
also agreed with yours. None Is more well
ftwnru of the Ills suffered Tiy Spaniards and
aliens In consequence of the Insurrection
than the government of his majesty , it rc-
nllzes the Immense Injury Inflicted on Spain
by the putting forth , with the unanimous
co-operntlon and approbation of her people ,
of such efforts ns were never before made
In America or by nny foreign country. It
knows nt the Fame time , thnt her Interests
suffer from the Insurgent system of devas
tation , but If the Insurrection should tri
umph the Intercuts of nil would not only
merely suffer , but would entirely disappear
nmld the madness of perpetual ntmrchy.
It has nlri'iiily been said thnt In order to
prevent ovlls of such magnitude the cabinet
of Madrid docs not nnd will not confine It
self exclusively to the employment of nn
nrmed force.
Ills speech from the throne read before
the nntlonnl representatives promised , motu
proprlo , thnt not only nil thnt wn-f previ
ously Krnntcd , voted by the courts and
functioned by her mnjesty on the 16th of
Mnrch , IS' * ! , would be carried Into effect na
noon ns the opportunity offered , but nlso
by frish action of the Cortos new extensions
nnd additional to the original reforms , to
tbo end thnt both Islands mny , In tbo nil-
mlnlstrutlvo department , possess n person
nel of a local character , thnt the Interven
tion of the mother country In Its domestic
conccins may be dispensed with the single
reservation thnt nothing will bo done to Im
pair the rights of sovereignty or the pow
ers of the government to preserve the same.
This solemn promise was guaranteed by the
august word of his majesty , nnd will bo
fulfilled by the Spanish government with a
true liberality of view" .
The foregoing facts , being bettor known
every day , will make It patent to the fair
people of other nations thnt Spain , far
from proposing thnt her subjects In the
West Indies should return to n regime unfit
! o the times when she enjovs such liberal
laws , would never have withheld these
same laws from the Island hud It not been
for the Increasing separatist conspiracies
which compel her lo look above nil to self-
defense. The government of hli nvilestv
most hcnrtlly thanks thnt of the United
States for the kind ndvlce It bestows on
Spain , but It wishes to stnlo nnd entertains
the confidence that your excellency will
readily BOO that It has been forestalling It
for n lonp time pnst. It follows , therefore ,
na a matter of course , that It will comply
with It In a practical manner ns soon na
circumstances make It possible.
Your excellency will have seen , neverthe
less , how the announcement of this concur
rence of views has been received. The In
surgents , elated by the strength \\hlch they
have acquired through the aid of a cortnln
number of citizens of HIP United States ,
Have contemptuously repelled by the ino-
dlum of the Cubans residing In this republic
any Idea thnt the government of Washing
ton can Intervene In the contest , either with
Its ndvlco or in nny other manner , on the
supposition thnt the declarations of disin
terestedness on the part of the government
of the United States are false , und Hint It
wishes to get possession of the Islnnd one
of these days. Hence It la evident that no
success would attend such mediation , which
they repel , even nilmlttlnK that thp mother
country would condescend to trc-nt with Its
rebellious hiibjectst ns one power with an
other , thus surely Jeopardizing Its further
authority , detracting from Its national dig
nity nnd Impairing Its Independence , for
which It has at all times shown such [ treat
em neatness , us history teaches. In brief ,
there Is no effectunl wny to pacify Culm
unless It beplns with the nctunl siibmU-slon
of the nrmed rebels to the mother country.
Notwithstanding this , the government ol
the United States could , by the use of
proper means , contribute greatly to the
pacification of the Islnnd of Cuba. The gov
ernment of his majesty Is already very
grateful to that of the Ifnltcd States for its
Intention to prosecute the unlawful expedi
tions to Cuba of some or Its citizens with
more vigor than In the past after making n
judicial Investigation ns to the adequacy of
Its lawn when honestly enforced. Still the
high moral sense of the government nt
Washington will undoubtedly SMiggest to It
more offc-ctlve means of preventing what Is
now the ease , the struggle which Is folnp :
on so ncnr Its shores , and which Is proving
so Injurious to Its Industries nnd commerce ,
n fnct Justly deplored bv your excellency ,
being prolonged so exclusively bv the p'ower.
fill assistance which the rebellion finds In
tbo territory of this great ropubllc against
the wishes of all thosp who love law and
order. The constant violations of Interna
tional law In Its territory In especially mani
fested on the part of the Cub.in emlcrants ,
who care nothing : for the losses .suffered In
the meanwhile bv the citizens of the United
States and of Spain through the pro
longation of the war. The Spanish govern-
mdnt , on Its part , has done much nnd will
ilo more every div In order to achieve such
dosliable end , by endeavoring to correct
Iho mistakes of public opinion In the United
States nnd by exposing the plots and cal
umnies of Its rebellious subjects. It mri >
well happen that the directions made In the
most solemn tonn by the government of
his majesty , concerning intentions for the
future , will also contribute In a large mean-
lire to gratify the wish thnt your excellencj
clearly expressed In your note namely ,
thnt all the people of the United States ,
convinced that we are In the rlfe'ht , wll
completely cense to extend unlawful aid to
the Insurgents. When the government o ]
the United States shall once bo convinced
of our being In the right , and when thnt
honest conviction shall In ? ome mnnner be
made public , but little more will he re
quired In order that nil those In Cuba , who
are not merely striving to accomplish the
total ruin of the beautiful country In which
they were born , being then hopolepst of out
side help and powerless by themselves , will
Iny down their nrms. Until thnt hnppy
state of things has been attained Spain will.
In the Just defense not only of hoi rights
Imt also of her duties nnd honor , continue
the cfforta for an early victory , which she
IH now exerting regardless of the greatest
sacrllloes.
While having the honor of bringing , by
order of the government of his mnjesty ,
the foregoing declarations to the knowledge
of your excellency , I Improve this oppor
tunity for reiterating , Mr. Secretary , the
assurance of my highest consideration.

prove of this plan for the settlement of their
grievances. The Mussulmans of Crete , how
ever , have telegraphed to the sultan pro
testing at being "placed In the power of
the majority which betrayed such hostility
to the Mussulmans by the carnage at Sltla

"The stupor and panic caused by the latest

"I learn that some ehoto were fired at

LONDON , May 21. The correspondent of
the Standard at Constantinople says : The
armistice has caused widespread discontent
among the Turkish troops In Thessaly and

the most prominent grumblers to be cent
home under escort. Ministers have been
ordered to pi each special sermons exhorting
tha soldiers to be loyal and obedient.
ATHENS. May 21. The report that fresh
hostilities had taken place Wednesday near
Arta appears to have grown out of nn Inci
dent of comparatively small Importance. The
Turks , despite the existence of nn armistice ,
began to repair the breaches in the walls of
Port SkafldakI , on the Gulf of Arta , where
upon a Greek gunboat opened fire with the
result that the repairing was stopped.
The former Greek consul at Canea , who
has returned here , says that when the Greek

M. Ralll , the premier , In the course of an
Interview yesterday , eald : "Tho Indemnity
which Greece will pay to Turkey will be In
proportion to the resources of Greece and
her financial position. The ces lon of terri
tory Is out of the question. Greece cannot
accept a modification of the strategic fron
tier which would render easy the raiding
of Greek territory by armed bands , and
which would compel Greece to maintain a

LONDON , May 21. Thero'wks n dramitlc
scene In the committee roojn of the West
minster hall. The parliamentary committee
Inquiring Into the Transvaal raid held an
other Rceslon nnd In the course of the ex
amination of Rutherford Harris , the former
pccretary of the llrltlsh Chartered South
Africa company at Capetown , by Henry
Laboucherc , the witness was naked whether
be had ever heard of a syndicate organized
for the purpose of dealing In the securities
of the chartered company , Mr. Harris re
plied :
"I am glad you put that question. I have
given you a long tlmo to prove the charges
you made , against me. " Then , turning to
the chairman , , Mr. Harris read on extract
from Mr. Labouchcre's speech In Ihc Hoiiio
of Commons on May S , 1S9G , nnd nn extract
from Truth of May 6 , 1890 , os follows :
The main object of the raid wns to nnnex
the rich mining- districts of the Transvaal
. to Rhodesia. It Is , obvious that the nrst
I news of the raid would CIUIMO a fall In
: shares. I am prepared to prove that ti syn
dicate wa formed Just prior to the raid ,
Includlntr n lending director ( Mr. Harris
wns a director of the company ns well an
Its secretary at Capetown ) In and one of
the chief olllclals of tlio llrltlsh Chartered
South Africa company for the purpose of
making larse bear sales. The seed having
been sewn for securing the Immediate full
nnd ultimate profit by the buying when the
rnld was successful nnd a rich slice of the
Trmwnnl had been adjoined to the charter
lands , steps were taken to carry out the
conspiracy.
The tenor of the "ctyptopratns" shows
that there uns n divergence of opinion be
tween Alfred Rhodes ( Cecil Rhodes' brother )
nnd Alfred I'.elt. and that those not con
nected with the gang wdro responsible for
the failure of thu scheme. These tele
grams nre ilninnliiK alike to the chartered
company and to Mr. Hhodes. It Is clear
that the raid was planned by Cecil Rhodes
and Alfred Kelt , the secretary of the Char
tered South Africa company.
The telegram from John Hayes Hammond ,
the American engineer , to Rhodes saying ,
"Cannot arrange icunectlvo Interests with
out Uert. " shows that the affair was for a
stock exchange deal , Tlicse miscreants ,
therefore , planning u raid which must have
led to their death , and -which was based
on robbery , were actually already disputing
In regard to their respective shares of the
plunder.
Truth then compared Cecil Rhodes to
Jabez Ilalfour , the "first statesman to apply
to Imperial politics the methods of the shady
company promoter , " and concluded ns fol
lows :
"Had Cecil Rhrdes remained ns premier
of Capo Colony I am convinced that as soon
ns It suited his purpose he would have turned
on us ( the llrltlsh government ) nnd would
have sought to cut the chain which binds
us to South Africa. "
After concluding the TemUng. Mr. Harris
turned to the chairman nnd begged him to
call upon Mr. Laboucherc\ \ to justify his
statements , "which , " Mr. Harris added , "aro
absolutely and mallclously.TulBo and untrue. "
There was a moment's-silence , during
which the members of the committee looked
furiously at Mr. Labouchcro. Then the lat
ter said In a subdued volc'p : "In order to
glvo proof I shall have to call a number of
stock brokers before the committee. "
The secretary of state1 for the colonies ,
Joseph Chamberlain , thereupon sharply re
marked : "I think It important that you
should do so. "
Replying to Sir Richard Webster , the army
general , Mr. Harris rcHQiatc'd that Mr. La-
bouchero's statement'waa > untriSe" from be
ginning to end. . . "
The -witness then roadman extract from the
Gaulola.written last week , and signed by
Mr. Labouchere , making' ' jlmllar charges to
those contained In the article In Truth.
Mr. Labouchcro said Iie-Kwta prepared to
prove the charges. Thetcommlltce room was
then cleared to allcnv Jhe committee to dis
cuss the mattqr. Whqo the : session was re
sumed the chairman announced that the committee
mittee- condemned Mr. Labouchere for com
menting on the rnld while the Inquiry was
proceeding , tobl"notlco ' of Mr. 'Hprrls' ' de
nial and added that It remained with Mr.
Lubouchere to take eucb. steps as he thought
fit to meet the denial.
Lord Robert Earl , counsel for Mr. Harris ,
then rose to speak. Ho said : "Mr. Harris
feels that his honor nnd reputation are at

of the committee Is actuated by a violently
hostile feeling toward him. So long aa
Mr. Labouchere la a. member of the com
mittee It Is Impossible for Mr. Harris to

with calls of "Order. "

gram. ) K may be that when the ln\\sult
of the city of Omaha against the bondsmen
of llolln , the ex-city treasurer of Omaha , Is
tried further light will bo shed upon the
Uollu transaction. Lembeck anil Doollttle ,
expert accountants of Cleveland , were em
ployed early In the proceedings by the bonds
men In Omnlin , ami both have been In Omaha ,
Mr. Lumbock giving perhaps the most thor
ough attention to the capo. Lcmbcck , who
Is not at all well , was Interviewed at his
home today , and explained what ho con
sistently could of his Information In the
promises. Ho said In the flrst place that his
work hud been done for the bondsmen and
not for llolln. Ho was In Omaha atork
at about the tlmo of Uolln's trial In the
lower court. Uolln had asked the court to
pootpono his trial till the expert Investiga
tion of the accounts of bis olllco could bo
mode , but the court would not accede to his
wishes. Mr. Lembeck continued his In
vestigation and discovered , so ho says , that
of the $105,000 of shortage on the part of
Holln alleged , nearly all was accounted for
In the way of funds paid to the Board of
Education , of which Dolln was also treas
urer. It Is on this account that the bondsmen
will Insist that they owe the city of Omaha
nothing. Tlitt defense In the civil suit against
the bondsmen Is anxious for Mr. Lembcck's
assistance at the trial , whenever It takes
place , but he Is not at present able to travel
to Omaha on account of his health.
Mr. Doollttle , on being approached , said
that he was In Omaha not very long ago , and
that he had been informed that Dolln stood
charged with a large shortage In his flrst
term , whereas the report of the city comp
troller showed only $18,000 In both terma.
Of this large shortage showing In the flrst
term , Doollttlo asserts , $85,000 was charged
by Dolln to himself In the early months of
the second term , as having been paid to the
Hoard of Education. Doth accountants Fay
that Dolln's books and personal accounts
wore badly mixed , but Insist that his short-
ago. If there was a shortage , was Insignifi
cant , compared with the amounts It was
charged ho had stolen and on the strength
of which ho was convicted and sentenced.

a tall man , roughly dressed , hailed the car ,
which stopped to let him abroad. As lie
got on the platform , he pulled a blue-dotted
calico mask , having holes cut through Tor
eyes , down over his face , produced a revolver
ver and ordered Superintendent Dame of the-
line , and the motorman , to the rear of the
car. They complied slowly , and ho fol
lowed , ordering the men and the passengers
to hold up their hands , and the women to fit
still. Dame and Wellman bad entered a
rear compartment , used for carrying bag
gage and freight. The robber evidently
thought they were safely disposed of , for he
paid no nioro attention to them , but com
menced relieving the passengers of their
valuables. Superintendent Dame drew his
gun and fired at the robber , who returned
the flre. Dame fired two shots and the rob
ber three. Two minutes later the robber
was lying beside the car dead , while Darne
had been shot In the arm and Jowett Smith ,

bullets passed through the right arm of the
robber , and the other through the left arm ,
both entering his body , striking lungs or

main point relied upon by counsel for the
appellant Is Judge Dahrs1 refusal to grant
Durrani's motion for a postponement of lilo

MADRID , Mry 21. The duke of Tctuan ,
minister of foreign affairs , has resigned , as
a tcsult of the Incident In the Senate today
when ho boxed the ears of Senator Comas.
Scnor Canovas , the premier , will take the
the portfolio nd Interim. The liberals of
the senate have decided to attend no more
sessions of tlio Senate until full satisfaction
hao been accorded to Senator Comas and the
Liberal party by the duke of Tctuan.
The exciting Incident which culminated In
ft free fight was provoke" ! by the statement
by the duke of Teluan that Senor Sngastn's
speech the other day to the liberals had
contributed to bring about the \oto In the
American senate.
General Luis 1'nndo Mid : "Tills thing
now happening Is duo to the cowardliness
nnd feebleneta of the government. "
Scnor Comas said : "You will discuss that
tomorrow. "
" \Vo will discuss U , " replied the duke
of Tetuan , "but I will accept dictation from
nobody. "
"Nor I cither , " retorted Scnor Comas at
the top of his voice. At this point the duke
of Tetuan , p.ile with excitement , boxed both
cars of Senor Comas and felled him to the
lloor. The son of Comas throw himself upon
the duke nnd struck him n heavy blow with
his fist. Several senators Intervened and n
general scullle ensued with great confusion
and it was some tlmo before order was re
stored.
The duke of Tctuan tendered his resigna
tion Immediately after the Incident. It Is
believed he misunderstood the reply of Senor
Comas , as ho Is regarded as an extremely
courteous nnd honorable man.
Senator Comas Is a professor In the Uni
versity of Madrid and Is held In high esteem
In scholastic nnd political circles.
Senor Canovas , Senor Sagasta and the
president of the senate had n long conference
on the subject of the affray this aftornboti ,
but ngre/cd / to maintain the greatest reserve.
The Ecnato resumed Its session this evenIng -
Ingbut. . no roferanco was made to the -Inci
dent. It adjourned at 10 o'clock , after which
the Immediate witnesses meditated with the
seconds for an hour before the seconds de
cided that a duel was unnecessary.
Senator Comas Is probably Prof. Comas ,
who , In June last , in the Spanish senate ,
supported the amendment to the address
asking that treaties with the TTnlted States
might be cancelled on the ground that they
were a source of constant danger to the
peace of ST > aln and the United States , lie
made n speech bitterly assailing thrf United
States nnd welcoming u conflict which he-
looked on us Inevitable.
SPAMSIl PUKMIBIl IS QVI3STIOM3U
Sciior CIIIIOVIIH TilkH Aliiuit the United
Slaton In Hie Chamber.
MADRID , May 21. Senor .Morel y Pren-
dsrgast , a former minister , asked the gov <
eminent on behalf of the liberals In the
Chamber of Deputlis today to submit all the
papers relative to the rebellion In Cuba and
to the diplomatic relations of Spain with the
powers.
Senor Canovas , the premier , replying said
the government could only attach credit to
such Information as was soul by Captain
General Weyler. He severely blamed the
American newspapers for disseminating false
news uud sited as a case In point recent
statements attributed to Consul General
Lee.
Lee.Tho premier eald : "Spain's relations with
other powers continue friendly , but the ad
vice the Americans are offering us cannot
bo accepted , because Spain will never- accept
any Intervention In a matter which peculiarly
concerna herself. The documents which have
been asked for would only refer to this
case. The government has accepted full
responsibility for everything which has be < sn
clone by Captain General Weyler.
Scnor Morel y PcndergaBt asked If It were
true that the United States senate had recog'
nlzed the belligerency of the Cuban Insur
gents.
The premier replied that the report to this
effect was not a surprise to him , as It was
a question of creating more difficulties for
President McICInley In connection with the
tariff bill , but ho said ho believed President
McKinley , llko Mr. Cleveland , would decide
for himself In tmcli' ' a matter.
In the course of his reply to the Intcrpelln
tlon Senor Canovas said the Interchange of
sentiment between Spain nnd tie ! European
powers hud always been unolilclal , The pow
ers had bhown great reserve In donning their
views , and this attitude had led thu government
mont to bellovo that they wcro unwilling to
offer any effective intervention between
Spain and the United States. The exchange
of views had been friendly , but Spain had
refused the proffered mediation.
The guarded tore by the premier In rcf-
oronce to the belligerency vote of the senate
has ninclo a profound Imprcst'lon , but the
gcncruT" Impression In the lobbies is that
President McKlnley and -Secretary Sherman
will not allow the Ecnato to drive them Into
conflict with Spain.

Good DeNerlptlnii of the .11 nil AVhr
Shot Crier All tile Deteotli cm
Had to ; Work On
About 0SO : last night as Dr. W. P. Wll-
cot , who resides a { 22111 Howard street , waa
en his way home ho noticed n couple of
men slouching along n short distance In
front of him , When ho reached the corner
of Twenty-first and St. Mary's avcnno Uio
men turned buddenly ami facing him ex
claimed "Hold up your hands ! " At th
same tlmo the men leveled n couple of ro-
volvcrs at him to lend emphasis to their
comma nils. The doctor , however , didn't look
at thlnga In that way. lli > reached for the
nearest nun with his good right arm nnd
the fellow went to the pavement.
Jumping forward n couple of paces the
doctor swung a heavy walking t'tlck In the
air and brought It down on the bend of the
other man. He joined his companion on
the pavement , lly this time the nrst man
struck raised partially from the ground nnd
leveling the revolver , which IIP had retained
In the scufllo , fired two shots nt the doctor.
ONK SHOT TAKES KKFECT.
The first ball shattered a window In the
residence of R. U. RliiRwalt , who lives near
by. The second shot nlrurk the doctor In
the left forearm , and , glancing , passcl
through tbo doctor's right side. Indicting an
ugly llet'Ii wound.
Although somewhat stunned by the shot
the doctor still wielded his stick nnd bela
bored his assailants. The men managed to
get to their feet , und running cast on St.
Mary's avenue disappeared In the darknms.
Dr. Wllcox walked to his home , a short
distance away , and a Burgeon was called , who
dreteed the wounds. They arc very painful ,
but not necessarily serious. On account of
the gloom surrounding the spot where the
holdup was attempted the doctor la unnblo
to glvo nn accurate description of the men ,
but statm that they wcro both young men ,
smooth-faced and dressed In dark clothes.
The place where the assault occurred l
an ideal place for such work and la but
poorly protected by the police.
GAVE HIM TUB SAUSAGE.
The sscond holdup occurred at 10:30 : , nnfl ,
Charles Grler , a butcher and grocer at 33110 ,
Parker street , was the victim. At the tlmo
stated a roughly dressed man with a slouch
hat drawn well down over his face entered
the store and walking up to the counter
caked Mr. Grlcr foT.G cents worth of bologna
sausage. In waiting upon the man It was
necessary for Mr. Grle-r to go to nn Ice chest
which stood at ono end of the counter. Ho
made the trip to the lea box and after taking
out the sau.saga was about to close tlio door ,
when upon turning around ho found a six-
shooter within a few Inches of his face.
Startled , ho sprang back from the door , and
the man following him behind the counter
exclaimed :
"Glvo me your money or I will shoot ! "
Mr. Grler lud a long string of sausage
In hlrf hand and the words had barely es
caped the robber's lips when ho ntruck
him over the face with It , The robber ,
staggered nt the unexpected assault , droppc'd
back a few nteps and then leveling his revolver -
volver again , fired. The bullet struck Grler
In the left arm. The man then made bin
escape.
Sir. Grler Is able to glvo a good descrip
tion of his assailant , as the store was well
lighted. He sajs the man wns about flvo
feet six Inches In height , were a brown
suit of elotlies , black frit hat and had a
two weeks' growth of beard on bis face of a-
rcddlt'li color. lie were a light brown mous
tache. After the shooting took place the
robber ranfrom the store nnd disappeared
down the street. Mr. Grlcr's wound Is not
bcrloiiB , as the bullet passed through the
fleshy portion of tlio arm.
Until holdups were rrjiorted to the pdllco
last night and detectives wore detailed 'to
work upon the cases. Up to a late hour
they had been unable to locate their meo.
