'LONDON' ' . Nov. 12. v\ dispatch to the
Dally Chronicle from Havana summarizes
statements by Generals 'Maximo Gomez , Arati-
euron Arango and the late Adolfo Oistlllo ,
all opposing the acceptance of anything short
of Independence- declaring that autonomy
would not bo worth the paper It was written
upon. The HOIIIU correspondent confirms the
report that General Castillo was betrayed by
a falsa frlond to tao Spaniards , who sent a
portion of thu civil igtMrd to lie In wait for
lilm and shoot him as du was leaving the
supposed friend's.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 12. The Spanish

"A protrctlvo commit ) o for reconccn-
trades has been formed with great success

but especially by the tobacco planters , who

SIMLA , Nov. 12. The Viceroy of India ,
the liarl ( if Elgin , has ordered a court of In
quiry to Inveallcato the disastrous recon
naissance of the British force under General
Wcstmacott , who on Wednesday last
reached the summit of Saran-Sir mountain
with little resistance and afterwards re
treated , clcsoly pursued by the enemy.
With the loss of about fifty hilled and
wounded , the Drltlsh rear guard only be
ing mved by the excellent disposition made
of the troops by the commanding otllcer.
Dispatches received from the Drltlsh
camp In the Muldan valley say that a man
who has Just come In there brought some
details of 'the killing of Lieutenant McIntyre -
Intyre and of thu twelve men belonging to
the Northamptonshire regiment who met
death while endeavoring to savu the
wounded of the regiment during the retreat
from the Saran-Sar mountain. This sur
vivor says that when the lieutenant found
Iilmsclf isolated ho dispatched him for aid ,
ns the small party was hampered by the
rwoumlcd and ho would not desert them.
The rest of the sad tale will never be
known , but as shown In the dispatches of
yesterday Lieutenant Mclutyro and his
handful of men sacrificed their lives for
their wounded comrades , the positions In
which the bodies were found showing they
died bravely lighting to the last. The
enemy was afraid to rush upon the little
iiand , the dispatches also say , but shot at
them from points of vantage until every
man of the Drltlsh detachment was killed.
A full representation of the Orakzl tribes

VALl'AHAISO , Chill , Nov. 12. A plan for
a drclhund of Chill , 1'cru and Argentina Is
In existence , which , If adopted by the three
governments , will wlpo llollvla off the
South American map , Chill , Peru and Ar
gentina dividing Its territory.
Startling IB this statement Is there arc
many who arc Inclined to give It credence.
Without n doubt some International stop
ot Importance Is under contemplation. Chill
and Peru have become entangled with Ho-
llvla , and \\liat the result will be no one
can tell. The demands of the alarmlftx far
an explanation from the government , It Is
generally believed , nro justified , Scnor
Sallnna , Chill's inlnl-ter to Sucre , llollvla ,
linn gone to Santiago to confer with the
government on thi ! situation , The govern
ment flatly denies that he will not return
to Sucre , though there arc grave fears that
he will bo murdered If ho does return , as
the feeling thcru against Chill Is Intense.
In the clubs and cafes and nt the social
gatherings everywhere In llollvla one hears
Chill talked ot as a faithless , disloyal na
tion.
Reasons for all the feeling ngalnst Chill
ore to be found In the rebellion of IS91
and Its bearing on the Anclon trolly. The
revolutionists promised to llollvla , It It
woul.l recognize the belligerency of the
rebels , that If thov were victorious they
would gTvc to Ilollvli two years after vic
tory the two Peruvian provinces Tacna and
Arlca , held tcmpoiarlly by Chill under the
Anclon treaty.
Moro than six years have elapsed since
the victory of the revolutionists and Chill has
not fulfilled 'Its promise for the roison that
by doing no It would trample on , the treaty.
Ilollvla now Insists on the fulfillment of this
promise , which Chill holds Is Illegal. In the
meantime Chill has recalled Honor Lira ,
the mlnUtcr of Chill to Peru , who belonged
to the revolutionary party , and has sent Senor
Vlccnto Santa Cruz , a Dalmacedlst , there
with Instructions to sound Peru on an al
liance agulnsl llollvla , against which govern
ment Peru has many grievances. The plan Is
to bring about aar with Dollvla , and for
1'eru'fl assistance Chill promises to return to
Peru the provinces of Tacna and Arlca. Chill
Is also prepared to furnish Peru with all
necessary armi und munitions to carry on n
war with Bolivia.
In tills connection the drclbund ngalnst
Dollvla Is being considered. Argentina , It Is
said , will ho Invited Into the alliance to glvo
some strength to the movement.
The Heraldo says that It Is reported all
International affairs between Chill and Bo
livia and Peru will goon be satisfactorily
settled , Chill accepting thu commercial and
peace treaties drawn by llollvla and leav
ing the solution of the Tacna-Arlca question
until next year.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 12. At the Chilian
legation a peaceful ( solution of the whole
difficulty alleged to exist between Chill and
Dollvla Is anticipated. The Journey of the
Chilian minister to Dollvla , Senor S. Sollnas ,
to Santiago , Is explained on the probable
theory that the government desired to con
fer with him In person relative to the ne
gotiations he is conducting. It Is ciot be
lieved hero that It means the withdrawal of
the minister and the severance of diplomatic
relations with Dollvia.

LONDON , Nov. 12. Striking evidence of
Spain's financial straits It ; furnished In the
dispatch of the Mcdrld correspondent of the
Dally Mall cabled to the Associated Press
last night , finylng the Spanish government
finds It Impossible to ralso the sum of 3,000-
000 ( $15,000,000) ) , by loan or taxation to carry
out Its original naval plans , and has duclded
to build two new cruisers only of 2,000 tons
each. The dispatch added that It Is Intended
to summon the Cartes ns eoon ns possible to
vote credits for the building of more men-
of-war and the placing ot more powerful
guns on board the existing vessels. It la now
pointed out that the cruisers mentioned by
the Dally Mall correspondent were to have
been battleships for whose construction the
government of Spain negotiated with the
Armstrongs months ago. The contracts ere
eventually signed and the keels of the new
battleships wcro laid , but the Armstrongs
refused to proceed without assurances of pay
ment. Now It I * doubtful If Spain will be
oven able to pay for the small and compara
tively Ineffective cruisers which are Intended
to replace , the projected battleships.
Yet In spite of this , according to the cor
respondent of the Dally iMatl , the Spanish
naval authorities claim to regard the Spanish
navy as being already superior to the navy
of the United States , which may explain
some of the bclllcoeo utterances ot the
Spanish press.
In connection with ( Spain's hunt for war
ships , American diplomats have learned that
Spain recently endeavored to make an ar
rangement with Japan whereby In the event
of war with the United States the thirty or
BO war ships now building In various ship
yards for Japan would be transferred to
Spain , and It Is supposed that upon the fail
ure of these negotiations the Spanish gov
ernment entered upon a deal with Chill for
the transfer to the Spanish flag of several
vessels about completed for the Chilian re
public , |
The diplomats referred to express the
opinion that from the standpoint of Inter
national law the completion of such a deal
might bo regarded ns an unfriendly act
toward the United States.
Ik-sides tl.e Rothschilds , other prominent
financiers of London and Paris have entirely
cut off the monetary supplies which Spain
has hitherto succeeded in obtaining.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 12. Definite ar
rangements irivo been made for taking up
'tho oubjcct of a reciprocity treaty between
the United States and Canada , and to this
end meetings have been fixed between John
A. KOSFOII , who In specially delegated by
President McKlnley to conduct reciprocity
negotiations , and Sir Wilfred Laurlcr , the
Canadian premier , and Sir Louis Davles , min
ister of marine. This Is Hie result of the
long and friendly conference held yester
day between Secretary Sherman and Sir
Wilfred Laurler. Thu meeting will bo held
during the present visit ot the Canadian of
ficials , but no exact time for It has yet
been fixed , as It will dcpcnl somewhat on the
tlmo which can be s | lred from the llerlng
sea sessions. The arrangements also contem
plate taking up the questions ot border Im
migration , north Atlantic fisheries , lake fish
eries and all other subjects affecting Uic
two countries. The meeting with Mr. Kassoti ,
however , will be confined to reciprocity , as
ho Is dclessti" ! by the president to treat
on tnat subject alone.
It la not expected that the reciprocity
treaty Itself can bo matured during the
present trip of the Canadian olllclals , the de
sire being to arrive at some common under
standing ut this time and then perfect the
details later. The dinner nt the White House
lost night uBslsted toward n. friendly settle
ment of pending questions. There werr no
toasts and no speeches at the dinner , but at
Its conclusion the Canadian guctits accom-
lianlcd the president and his cabinet advisers
to the blue room , where a wholly Informal
and personal exchange ot views occurred.
They were on the same friendly lines OH
those at the formal conference between the
secretary of state and Sli Wilfrid earlier In
the day and the general sentiment prevailed
that the present time was opportune for more
cordial Intercourse between this country and
Canada. The announcement of the meetings
with Mr. Kasson followed this morning.
In view of these meetings It Is pointed out
that much misapprehension exists as to the
preferences which the Canadian tariff law
glvo to Great Dritaln. The law makes no
mention of Great Dritaln. It has two
schedules , maximum and minimum. At
present Gicat Dritaln enjoys the minimum
rates , but the same are open to all other
countries , the United States Included , and
there Is nothing in the law which contem
plates giving Great Dritain the exclusive
benefits of these lower rates. It la under
stood to oo the vlow ot the Canadian olTlcIalF )
that the markets of the United States and
Canada arc so closely connected geographi
cally that It Is essential that the countries
look to each other , rather than to markets
thousands of miles distant. This , It Is said ,
Implies no undue 'benefits or discriminations
toward the United State's or Great Britain ,
but merely a recognition of business con
ditions.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 12. During today's
conference on the llerlng sea controversy a
scries of propositions was presented by the
American representatives covering the num
ber and habits of the seals , nnd the extent
to which the seal herd had been reduced
during the flvo years In which the Paris
award had been In operation.
In turn the 'DrItlsh-Caiiadlan ' representa
tives presented counter propositions , coverIng -
Ing their views of the same subjects. The
propositions differed considerably , but wore
not so wide apart as to lead to the belief
that they could not be reconciled.
It was felt to be desirable to hold no after
noon session , in order that the two sets of
propositions might bo compared.
Later in the day the 'DrItlsh-Canadlnmi '
submitted some further amendments to the
American propositions. It Is expected that
when , the session Is resumed tomorrow the
experts will bo able to reach a common
understanding. The propositions do not em
body any diplomatic features , but are solely
scientific , as to the number , habits and de
struction of the seals.
After the experts have reconciled their
proposltlcms the diplomats will begin to con
sider the largo subject of providing an ade
quate remedy against seal destruction , It
Is not expected , however , that this stage will
bo reached before next week , and the first
plan of concluding the meeting tills week
has been given up.
All of the representatives of the United
States , Canada and Great Dritaln wcro In
attendance at the conference except Sir Wil
frid Laurler , who spent the morning In vis
iting the Catholic university. Mr. Adams ,
first secretary of the Drltlsh embassy , took
his place as the diplomatic representative of
the Canadian government.

a surgical operation , for appendicitis , nnd
that under the most favorable conditions ho
would not bo able to resume his seat In the
Jury box In lesn than three \\ccke. It there *
fore bocnmo a question as to how the case
should proceed.
Mr. Howe , counsel for Thorn , suggested
the retention of the rest ot the Jurora who
oat for the trial thus far and Impaneling a
twelfth Juror , . .to whom the proceedings bo
read from the court reporter's notes. District
Attorney Youngc asked for tlmo In which
to look up the authorities before deciding
to accept or reject the proposition ot counsel
for the defense , and Judge Smith adjourned
further consideration ot the case until 1
o'clock p. m.
After an hour's consultation between the
district attorney and Mr. Howe , the latter ,
omciglng from an anteroom , raid to the
walling rejiorttriJ :
"Gentlemen , I can uow tell you positively
that thcro will be an entirely now Jury se

In favor of adopting thojilan which I pro
posed In court this morning. Mr. Youngs
will have a new panel of 200 Jalcsmcn undo
up and the subpoenas will be served Imme

District Attorney Youngs a few moments
later confirmed the announcement by Mr.
Howe. "My reasons for not accevtlng Mr.
HOUO'H suggestions , " ho said , "are that the
Interests of the people will bo better served
by the empaneling of a new Jury and begin

The court agreed to the plan of the district
nttoincy and the Jury was formally dis
charged. Mr. Youngs naked that the now
trial be proceeded with next .Monday , but
Mr. Howe asked for a longer adjournment.
In deference to Mr. Howe's request , Judge

SAN FUANCISCO , Nov. 12. In view of
the fact Unit the supreme court which Is
now In session at Sacramento will adjourn

In January , It Is not < considered probable
that W. II. T. Durrant , ( he condemned mur
derer of Dlaticho Lament , will expiate the
crime for which he was sentenced to bt
hanged In December , 1895 , during the cur
rent year. \
In the ordinary course1 , of events the mat
ter cannot como up for hearing upon the
points Involved In the vordcr granting the
certificates of probable cjauso , to which the
murderer owes his second lease of life , until
the middle of January.
After the case has been decided another
thirty days at least mt'at nterfero before
the remlttltiir from. the supreme court can
reach the trial court "nnd the condemned
man bo sentenced for the third time. This
coutso would not allow the execution to
take place before the latter part of February
or the beginning of March next.
It Is possible that the attorney general
may apply to the supreme court to advance
the case and hear It as a special order , but
this action Is KO unusual that few attorneys
entertain the sugges'tlon as likely to be ac
complished.
Meantime Durrant has been removed from

board. One plan gives about 102,000 square
feet to exhibits nnd the other 167,000. The
first provides for exhibits along the center
so as to have n wldo alslo In the center
running the full length of the building.
Either arrangement will , It Is thought , pro

In fact , several departments ask for much

KANSAS CITY , -Mo. , Nov. 12. The Mis *
sourl Pacific passenger train , known an the
St. Louis fast mall , which leaves Kansas
City at 9 p. in. , was held up by five masked
robbers at 9:30 : o'clock tonight at the Chicago
& Alton crossing , Just east of Independence ,
Mo. , nnd less than a mile from the famous
Illue r-ut , In 'which thrco train robberies
hnvo occurred within the lost year. '
Two of the robbers wcro disguised as
women , and when the engineer saw them
swinging a lantern across the tracks , an ap
parent slgrnl of danger , he did not hesitate
to stop. The engine craw wns Immediately
covered with revolvers. Conductor Dennis
O Drlen nnd llrakcman McMlchael stepped
out to sco what was the matter and were
greeted by a volley of bullets , which at once
cnusoJ the greatest confusion In the passen
ger coaches. The conductor and brakeman
were compelled to cut the express nnd bag
gage cars from the rest of the train , nnd the
engineer and fireman were made to get down
from their cab. The robbers quickly Jumped
aboard and took the engine nnd express car
about two miles further east , where they
stopped and compelled iBxprcBS Messenger
Williams to open his car. lie offered no re
sistance , us he carried no treasure.
The robbers had evidently Intended to
stop the St. Louis limited night express ,
which leaven ICintas City at a later hour ,
and were greatly surprised upon discovering
that the cars which they had captured con
tained nothing of value. In their rage they
pounced upon the express messenger and
went through his pockets , but ? 2.S. > was all
they secured. After this they quickly ! ett
the train and disappeared In the darkness.
After a delay of over an hour the train
was got together again and was started
on Its Journey. The county marshal and
his men wore at the scene of the robbery
very soon , but there Is every probability
that the robbers wcro safely In Indepen
dence or Kansas City before any organized
effort was made to capture them.

PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 12. The Ilccord
will say tomorrow :
In their efforts to bolster up the hard
coal trade the anthracite presidents have
called a halt on the rate of production and
every colliery In thr > Schuylklll region shut
down yesterday. The length of time they
will remain closed could not bo stated at
the Heading railway offices , but It Is said
some of them would probably start up next
week on reduced time. The Lchlgh Valley
railroad , in order to meet the reduction , has
ordered Its collieries on three-quarters time- ,
and the other companies have also taken
steps to curtail the production.
iAn ofllclal of the Heading company said
that under normal conditions , with the col
lieries working full time and the market
absorbing the coal , the November output
would have reached D.000,000 tons. Under
the curtailment he thought the production
for the month would aggregate between
4,000,000 and 4,600,000 tons. The curtailment
of the product , ho thought , would have a
favorable effect upon the market , and wculd
stiffen prices. While ho did. not anticipate
an Increase In the circular prices , the pres
ent circular , which had been , tadly cut In
many Instances , would bo maintained ,

examination of the same It clearly appears
that the lodge not only wilfully and

the officers of the ledge that the proposed
Initiation was contrary to law.

Iteineily the Situation.
The board of directors of Iho Transmls-
sIsMppl Kxposltleci has taken action looking
to the appointment of a director.general of
the exposition. A special commlttco con
sisting of Directors Herman Kountzc , I. W.
Carpenter , C. R M-indcrRon , George V , Illd-
well and John L , Webster wen appointed to
consider Iho advisability of changing Iho
pltm of organization of the Kxpoaltlon asso-
c'atlon , consulting with the executive com
mittee to learn the views of the manager *
as to the deslralilllty ot creating the oftlco
of director gent'r.il nnd the duties which
should lu > attached to It and to make a re
port of findings to a special meeting of the
board of directors on Monday afternoon , at 4
o'clock. Ici case the special commlttco finds
that the creation of the ofllco of director
general Is ndvlp.ililo It Is Instructed to also
report the changes that should bo made hi
the by-laws and rules to carry the now plan
Into effect.
This \\an practically the only buslnni
transacted by the directors. When the roll
was callrd there \\cio twenty-six of the
fifty directors present.
At the request of Manogcr Llndsey th
rules were changed fdlghtly to allow the
temporary chairman of the executive com
mittee to sign vouchers In the absence of
the chairman. 'J ;
Mr. Hitchcock suggested that , In the future -
turo , thu manager of each department sub
mit to the board at Is regular meetings a
brief nnd pointed nummary of what had been
done In his department and what Is fro-
posed to be done , in order that the directors
may keep In touch with the work that each
department Is doing. This suggestion \VRB
put In the form of a motion and was
adopted.
President Wattles said ho would bring up
a matter which had been uppermost In his
mind for same tlmo aud had been
discussed. Informally by a number ot .
the directors the question of creating . <
the position of director general. Ho
said the exposition had reached a critical
stapp and It appeared that something should
be done at once. IIo .inked that the matter
bo discussed by the directors.
CASH is GITTINO UHGENT.
Mr. Kountzc was the flrat to speak on tbo
question. He said the time before the ex
position must opsn was thort and an enormoui
amount of work remained to bo done before
the exposition would be ready to allow ex
hibitors to enter with their goods. IIo did
not doubt that every head of a department
was doing all that was ( osslble for him to
do , but all were busy men and had their
own affalra to attend to. A way must bo
found to get more general push Into the
tilling and i > eo that the contractors do not
lose valuable time. If ono force of men can.
not push the buildings fast enough a double
force should bo put on and the work
crowded , or the time to open the gates would
cpmo and the exposition would be In a terri
ble fix.
Mr. Kllpatrlck said he had hoped a sugges
tion In this matter would come from the exec
utive commlttco ; If that committee considered
such an office should 'bo ' created It should
recommend such action and should prescribe
what powers the members of the committee
were willing to- turn over to euch offlcer.
Mr. Klrkcndall , manager of the Deptrt-
mcnt of Ilulldlngs and Grounds , was called
for by Mr. Wharton , who said this depart
ment wouldho affected by the proponed
change inoro than any other. Mr. Klrkcn
dall said tbit ho was delegating his porrera
to oxpertti In the several branches of work
as fast as this could bo arranged. IIo ex
pected to go ahead along this line and or-
ganUo the several departments of work and ;
thus F.OVO thu expense of a director general ,
biit If It was decided that ono should bo ap
pointed ho would bo perfectly willing to turn
over all the work of his department to him.
In this connection Mr. Klrkcndall suggested
that the powers of the president might bo .
enlarged so an to glvo him authority to con-
fult with the managers of the department *
and advlte an to what should bo dono.
Mr. Klrkcndall moved that a committee of
thrco directors bo appointed by the chair to
consult nlth the managers of departments
and formulate a plan for future work.
Mr. Komizo asked whether the work la
progressing In such a way that thereIn rea
sonable assurance that the buildings will ba
ready In time. i
CONTKACTOHS AHB CONKIDBNT. v'
Mr. KIrkendall stated thit there was no
doubt that the buildings would bo com
pleted within the time specified In the sev
eral contracts , but ho said he had con- ,
milted with the contractors and they hid as. - - '
sureil him that they uoulil have the build
ings completed In plenty of time. Ho told ,
further , that If he , or some man In bl de
partment , had the authority to go ahead and
do things that are ncccraary and that rc-
qulro the expenditure of moderate amount *
of money , without running to the executive
committee all the time , much tlmo would bo
tv.'ed.
Director Youngs- paid there 1 > a great
fe-fllng of unrest among the people of Omaha
that the buildings will not be completed on
time. Blnco Oeraldliu's connection with Iho
exposition had ceased ho tall Iho re plo felt
that nome competent man who has the con
fidence of the people ehould be placed ID
full charge of the work en tiio grounds aud
given authority to push the work of con
struction. Ho said -If this wax done -the feel
ing of distrust and unre-t would disappear. j
In reply to questions from Dr. Leo 1'rw- 4
Ident Wattles explained that the duties ot
the director general In former expositions
had been to carry out ( he decisions ot tbo .
executive commlttco. The latter decided -j :
what WJB to be done and the director gen * ?
oral let the contracts and saw that the work
WM properly completed. He alto h&d tty
