been disappointed In Ms effort to Induce all
prominent statesmen of the liberal party to
join the cabinet In the present critical cir
cumstances , and had to content himself wfth
a ministry composed ot rcspeetablo but less
influential personal frlenda. The old feud
between the right wing and the democrats
In the liberal party prevented Camazo from
accepting the proffered seal , and his brother-
in-law , Senor Maura , author of the first
Cuban home rule bill , was also excluded ,
chlclly tl.rougli the influence of the senators
and deputies of the Union Constitutional ot
Cuba , who belong to the liberal part } la
Bpaln.
The on ! } strong men In the cabinet are
Pulgercorvoor , finances ; Capdebon , Interior ,
nnd Moret colonies The latter accepted the
coonlpl ofllco with a view to playing the
chief part In reversing the policy of the late
government In Cuba and the Philippines and
with bis knowledge ot English Morct will
naturally be In the position of assistant mln-

:
* The cabinet Is regarded as fairly strong ,

the subs'anco of an Interview between a
newspaper rorrespoodrtiit and an unnamed
member of the new Spanish cabinet. Tuo
Utter Is quoted as salng that Senor Sagabta
will carry out the Cuban reforms proposed
hy .Marshal Martinez do Campos ten years
ago. Continuing , the now cabinet minister
Is raid to have declared that Premier
Sagasta uould not consent to a customs
union between the United States and Cuba
( and that If tlio former was not satisfied
Spain was prepared to fight , as the Spanish
ii i nivy was regauled equal In strength to the1
i navy of the United States.
In conclusion the new minister la alleged
to bavo said It was Improbable lhal Spain

vcnt the new Cuban government dealing

WASHINGTON , Oct. 4. One result of the
formation of a Sugasla cabinet In Spain , It
is belie ? 1 , will bo the granting ot amnesty
to moat , If not all , ot the American prls-
cuftrs held In Cuba , and the pardon of many
Cubans condemned to Imprisonment In the
1 iflnnd ot Ccuta Pcndl-ng the completion of
tlio Sagasta cabinet there has been no Inti
1f mation that such action would bo taken , but
It Is said to bo naturally a part of the new
Spanish policy , Involving the withdrawal of
f General \Vclcr and the adoption of moro
1Ii conciliatory plans. The Competitor prisoners ,
It U thought , ' .vlll bo released soon and Miss
CUiieios alEO. Concerning pending claims ,
Guch ns that Iti the case of Dr , Itulz , It Is
Ii Eald that a commission probably will be
proposed tu ucal with all claims arising dur
ing the rebellion and there are Intimations
that steps toward the creation ot such u
commission , urn now under way
Although there Is continued reticence at
the Stile department regarding Spanish-
Cuban a flairs , It Iff understood that the gov
ernment had been Informed that Spain will
offer autonomy lo Cuba similar to that en-
jocd by Canada , od In administration
' / clrclec the prevalent opinion teems to bo
that if a full measure of real autonomy Is
ottered , It iliould be accepted by the Cubans
i'he Ineoij fig of the Sagaita cabinet Is wel
comed by the administration.
The ttt&tempnts attributed to the newspa-
\.us \ that Sagakta would favor the largest
measure of autonoiiy hive directed attention
to 'ho past efforts toward autonomy. Those
ofpred by the conservative cabinet and made
l.novvu through the Spanish minister , Iupu >
Do Lome , contemplated a council of admin
istration , elected in part by tbo Cubans ,
wulch was to have an advisory power in
chuplng the affairs of the Island. This plan
lisa taken the shape of a lengthy decree ,
which hid already been gazetted , though II
las never boon put Into effect In Cuba , owing
. .otho disturbed conditions. Tbo objection
found to this plan was that while it was in
name autonomy. It did not give real home
rule. a the Cubtii council vvae not to tie a
Icgul&tlte ( bodttltlf flail powera ot making
lavvs , but merely an advisory council. In
coatrast with this It Ifl * aM that the liberal
plan of autonomy , as desired by the auton
omist parly of Cuba , contemplates a colonial
parliament , or legislature with final powers
of Unmaking , eave the usual power of veto
preserved In all forma of conatllutlonal gov
ernment. This would IIP on the lined of the
homo rule operating In Australia and Canada ,
and the latter countries were cited as ex
amples of complete autonomy b } the Span
ish statesman , Castellar , when autonomy was
first suggested for the Island Such a meas
ure of autonomy , It Is said , would com
mand much support In Cuba Among the sub
stantial elements there , Including the auton
omist party. In this connection It Is under
stood that the new-chosen ! prcs'dent ' of
the Insurgents , Mendez Capote , la a rain of
conrcrvalive tendencies and durlntc a visit
to Waihlngton some tnrnths ago Is slid lo
have expressed views favorable to a close

CLEVELAND. O , Oct. 4. John 0. Shlp-
licrJ , who has for several ye.are been prom
inent as an Investment broker anil street
railway promoter , was arrc'tcd this morning
on the charge of embezzlement. Ho wa
taken boforj a justice of the peace on a
state warrant and was held In custody until
3 o'clock this afternoon , when ho was re-1 I 1
leased on $10,000 ball. The warrant was Is
sued at the Instance of frank Do Hass Ilob-
ln on , and the warrant grew out of the bu l-
nera of Shlpherd and Hoblnson , who ha\o
been closely associated for several jcars In
st eet car enterprises In this -city and else
where. The warrant distinctly charged that' '
Shlphord embezzled $183,236 C5 of the persona !
*
iccperty of Robinson , In addition to 12 street '
rallwaj bonds of the value of $95,200.
At the same time a petition was filed In
common ylcas court asking for a receiver for
the brokoraRo firm of Cha'lea II Potter fi.
Co , with which Shlpheul was heavily Inter
ested , and of which ho was the manager. In
the petition It was charged that Shlpherd and
the firm of Potter cS. Co had converted to their
own use the proceeds ot uecurltles left In
their lands by Mr Hoblnson These securi
ties Included three sets of To t Wane , In. ! . ,

Hoblnson asks Judgment H $ D01 7C1 15. In

ot the value of $93,200. and upon which one
of the chatgea of ombez/lemcnt against Ship-
herd Is based Mr Robinson also represents
In Ills petition that the firm of Charles II

to about twenty banks and Individuals In tills

It cannot paj It Is alleged that the securi
ties left with Shlpherd b > Mr Robinson were
hjvainccated b > him at banks fo the pur
pose ot raising money with which to carry

Intelested
THC ARREST.
When arrested Shlpherd had Just reached
the brokerage ofllco of Potter & Co In the
Wade building. He was dumbfounded when
the constable ierved the warrant.
"Suiely jou arc not going to take my
bed } ' " he said to the ofllcer.
"Yea ; I must do so , " replied the con
stable.
"What are jou going to do ? " asked Ship-
herd.
"I am going to take > ou before a justice
and he will then arrange jour bail"
Then Shlpherd accompanied the constable
to the Justice's ofllce. On the wa > Shlpherd
slid. "Well , I suppose that technically I
am guilty , but I have not a dollar In the
world Of course , I speculated and In
vested the money. If things had come m )
way I would have been without doubt the
richest man In Cleveland. "
While awaiting the appearance of his at
torney , for whom ho sent as soon as ar
rested , Mr. Shlpherd was asked how much
ho o\ved Mr. Robinson.
SHIPHERD'S STORY.
"Oh , my ; " ho replied , "that I do not
know. The amounts In these transactions
are so enormous I lost all track of them a
long time ago. I am now hopelessly lost
By bringing this action against me Mr. Hob
lnson has ruined me. A. > ear ago I would
have taken my oath that I wap worth
$ JOO.OOO over my Investments. Today I have
not a cent In the world , not even enough to
hlro an attorney. Knowing that I have not
a dollar Mr. Hoblnson now makes me the
scapegoat In the hope that others Interested
will shell out the money he wants Nego
tiations have been going on for a jear with
Mr. noblnson to settle these matters , but he
has purposely held back until now. Tor a
jear I have had nil I could do to earn
enough money for the dally bread of m >
family by doing a little scalping on the
street. I know not what to do now. The
disgrace , of course , falls keenl } upon my
familj , but I do not care , for I am not guilty
I owe lots of money to hundreds of others
besides Mr Robinson.
DID A DIG BUSINESS.
"In the fourteen years I have been in busi-
nes in this cltv I have done a business of
$13,000,000 Yes , sir , I did that right down
thcie In my little shop I have been success
ful and unsuccessful during that period , but
when fortune went against me I was alwajs
able to recuperate and pay my creditors
During my business experience , until last
jcar , my creJIt was almost unlimited. I have
combatted without success the panic of the
last four jears , while heavily interested In
pioneer railroad work. The securities I held
fell and greatly depreciated during the hard
times. Tour of the railroads with which I
was connected failed to bring returns an !
hero I am now. "
At first Shlpherd stubbornly refused to
I j permit an > bodj to go on his bond. Ho fa Id
! ho was ready and willing to go to Jail
Finally , however , ho concluded to accept
ball and his bond was signed by two of h3 ?
Inllucntial friends.

The adjourned cession ot the populist
county convention was held last night for
the ptirposj ot endorsing the candidates ot
the democrats nominated Saturday night.
Although such was the Intention the greatest
difilculty was experienced In directing the
ardor of the part } enthusiasts and persuad
ing them to believe In Iho mercenary advantage -
vantage of Iho triune arrangement , for
'
there were those who could not bo recon
ciled to Tom Hector for sheriff and who
. freely charged that he was the agent ol the
|
money power and even that ho was a pur-
vcor of votes.
I The members ot the delegation from South
I
Omaha also had a burning soreness within
them regarding Ihe disposition of the tax
asscssorshlps In that town and had many
sympathizers In their argument for a bolt.
I i When Chairman Wilson called the convention
'
tion to older there were barely twent } dele
gates In the hall. The point of no quorum
was made but the chairman gave the orig
inal rjillng that as there was no special rule
on the subject it was his privilege to do-
j clare a quorum present.
I The question of endorsing Hector was then
submitted and elicited several fiery speeches
E J Miller said he objected to Hector be-
rauso ho had come Into the democratic con
vention as a dark horse with the list of
hla delegation In his pocket for sale to the
most generous bidder "Hoctor belongs to
, Ihe monc } power" cried Miller. "With m }
own eyes I saw chairmen of country delcga-
| l lions taken to the saloon downstairs while
[ men who were not even members of their
| delegations cast the solid vote of their pre
I cincts for Hoctor. "
! I This created a general uproar , and a half
j dozen men contradicted and upheld Miller In
I the same breath The sentiment finally pro-
I ' vailed , howevet , thai Ihe populists should not
hold themselves responsible for democratic
i , moials so long as they received Ihelr share of
Iho Hpolls and Hoclor was cndors d.
ASSESSORS NOT ENDORSED
The motion then prevailed that the re
mainder of the ticket should bo countenanced
with the exception of the eight tax asscs-
soishlps , which was the point of bitterness
with Ihe Soulh Omaha men. The Iroublc
of Ihese delegated was then broached in no
uncertain terms. D A. Way btatcd that the
lopullst voteIn the First ward , which had
been apportioned to them , was weak , and
that theliole in the Third and Fourth
wards , on the contrar } , was exceeding ! }
heavy. These were the wards which the
populists should have rather had , said Mr
Way. Ho did rot hesltale to express his
belief thai some manipulation had been re
sorted to by wealth } packing house people
to throw the assessorshlps to men they could
use. It was his desire that a separate tickel
as regards those assessorshlps bhould be put
In the field.
This proposition alarmed the fuslonlsts ,
who feared that the entire coalition would
bo dumped. They made strenuous efforts
to smooth the waters and the matler was
finally referred to the county central com-
mltteo for adjustment.
William Anderson was then introduced
and spoke regarding the fight he Intended
to make for the county Judgeshlp. He en
deavored further to unite the dlfferenl and
dlscotdant elements of the convention which
were evident 10 all present.

The headquarters of the Ninth Ward Re
publican club at Twenty-ninth and Farnam
streets were thronged nearly to the buffocat-
ing poinl lasl night. The crowd was at-
Iracled largely on account of the fight being
put up by Joseph Crow , candidate for count }
Judge ; George C. Thompson , candidate foi
register of deeds , and J. E. Van Glider , who
Is In the race for county clerk. The hall
was packed by the friends of these candi
dates , each contingent bent upon frustrating
any endorsement of the other which might
bo made. Although the fight on delegations
will probably prevent a single net of men
going Into Ihe primaries from this ward. It
has already been conceded that the Van
Glider and Crow forces will unite against
the delegation belonging to Thompson.
Order was called for b } President C. S
Huntlngton , and after the routine business
of the club had been disposed of Charles
Unfit secured the floor and Introduced reso
lutions to the effect that J. H. McDonald for
sheriff , George He-lmrod for county treasurer
H K Burket for coroner and E. J. Bod-
well for county superintendent of schools
receive the endorsement of the club. The
resolution was passed by acclamation
It was then proposed that every one In
the room who wished to act as a delegate
to the convention place his name on file with
the secretary ! This was voted down and
a resolution submltled and j-assed lhat the

There were three points on which the

Ihat none of them rmild stand. Ills decision
boiled down Is : "The law governing stock

W. Clark , assistant attorney general of
Kansas , acting as special master , The purpose -

that the present charges were reasonable ,

The case was brought In such shape as
to make Boyle and not the state defendant ,
although It was an attack on the state law
