Fan Of 4 Man Into q Bear-Pit,

Paris Dispatch to London Standard.
An exciting scene was witnessed yesterday
afternoon, at the Jardin des Plantes A man
leaning over the wall of the bears pit, suddenly
oyerbalanced himself and fell into the pit, a
depth of some twelve feet. He was stunned by
the fall, and had his head cut open. One of the
bears, the biggest and fercest in the collection,
instantly approached and after smelling at the
man, began licking the blood from his brow.
This caused him to revive. Starting up, he
pushed the bear backward, which. combined
with the scared cries of tie bystanders above,
drove the animal into a fury. A terrible strug-
gle ensued, the bear attempting to seize the
mans mead between his teeth, and the man hold
ing the bear by the throat. Ultimately the Off
cials came up, and by dint of a rope the poor fel
low was extricated in an exhausted and wounded
condition. While he was being pulled up the
bear was kept off by an iron bar, with which
heavy blows were dealt at his head. The man,
who is respectable workingman, was taken to
the hospital

MADRID, July IAN important interview
occurred yesterday between the American min
lister, Gen. Foster and Castillo and Senior Eldu-
agen, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Spanish
ministers showed desire to arrive at an equit
able commercial arrangement, and Gen. Foster
assured them that America was animated by am
ieable views regarding trade with Cuba, and, SO
far as possible, would feel inclined to meet the
views Of Spain and Cuba. He declared America
had no desire to annex Cuba now nor at any fu-
ture time America had no wish to assume
further political responsibilities. He thought,
however, that something must be done for Cuba,
and that quickly. Mexico was already import
ing sugar into America free, and unless Cuba
and the English West Indies secured equal
terms, it was evident their best market was lost
In the Deputies, Valdersera introduced bill
for Improvement of affairs in Cuba The prin-
cipal clauses propose reduction of export and
increase of import duties on sugar and direct
the negotiating of new treaties of commerce in
Cuba's interest with foreign nations. The other
clauses affect economies in the Cuban budget
and provide for the conversion of the Cuban
debt.
In the Senate, Minister Castillo stated that
Spain absolutely had no intention of selling
Cuba.

award which surely would be offered if
Mr.. Greeley would keep the book Mr..
Greeley consented, and only saved him
self by taking the $50 out of the book.
The man demonstrated. 1T will not do
to touch that money, he said; ''you had
better give me $50 out of your own
