quested that sum of money be distributed
among the walters, which sum would be paid

A REPUBLICAN reporter called last night
upon Rev, DIR. Chapollo, pastor of st. Mat
tnews' church, and found that gentleman,
who was the Confessor and friend of the late
Spanish minister deeply grieved at his un-
fortunate end. In reply to q question if he
had noticed anything in the late minister's
manner which would indicate that something
was prcying upon his mind Dr. Chapelle
said:
al remember that the last time I saw
him, which was but day or so before he left,
l noticed he was nervous and excitablo
which was in contrast with his ordinary
equable poise of manner, but attributed 1t
rather to the fact that he was so soon to be
separated from his wifo and daughter, to
whom he was devotedly attached"
"You had peculiar opportunities for study
ing his character, doctor; what was your
estimate of him?"
al considered him gentleman of sterling
principles and upright life. In his domestic
relations he was peculiarly happy, and his
attachment for his wifo and daughter was
very strong. He was man of marked ability;
had high reputation in Spain for his knowl-
edge of public affairs, aud was deeply re-
spocted by his associates in the diplomatic
corps here as well as by all with whom he
came in contact. Although of excellent
family he had less of that Castilian hauteur
than might be expected of him, and was re-
markably aflable and courteous. His famil-
iarty with Spanish affairs would have made
him of great value in his own country just at
this iuncturc"
Have you any idea of the cause of his
self-destructionP
None in tho world. 1t would be unkind
TO speculate upon that at this time. If he

brought out when his business affairs are ex-
Amined. | notice that it has been asserted
by some of the papers that he entertained in
the most lavish manner. That is not true.
While ho entertained in manner bcfttng
his position, there was no attempt Mt lavish
display, and no one supposed he was living
beyond his MEANS"
You think he must have been laborng
under temporary alteration of mind, don't
you ~
Undoubtedly; for if the reports which
read be true he left directions for requiem
mass to be said over his mortal remains Now
he was consistent Catholic; he had been
educated in the Catholic church from his
childhood, and he was a highly intelligent
man. He knew the rules of the church as
well as l do, and he knew that
no rites Of the church can be given
to q suicide He would not have stul-
titled his intelligence or the teachings of the
church, by directing that a requiem mass
be said over his remains and then deliber-
ately blow his brains out if he had been in
his right mind. And then too he asked
Senor Suarez to call for him in the morning
to attend mass. No, whatever the subject
was that preyed upon his mind we don't
know, but something evidently worked upon
his feelings until he was wrought up to a
frenzy, which unsettled his reason, and he
took his own life. By his death Spain has
lost an able representative, and those who
were intimate with him dear and devoted
friend,n

Western Union Dividends.

New York, July 3O,-Arguments were to

Williams and Rufus Hatch against the West

motion on behalf of the defendants TO have
the injunction order made by Judge Arnoux
last December. restraining the payment OF
dividends modified. That order restrained
the payment of dividends upon the Sl5529,-
800 illegal stock, but provided that upon
giving n bond for the full amount of the
moneys to bo paid out the company could go
on and pay out its dividends upon condition
that they reimburse the entire funds paid out
in case the appellate court should sustain the
order. To-day counsel for the company
moved to modify the injunction order but
the counsel for Williams and Hatch asked
for an adjournment on account Of the alb
sence of one of their number. The counsel
for the company then asked leave to with
draw the motion rather than be compelled t.
