WASHINGTON, April 25.-It is understood in
diplomatic circles that Minister Foster has been
instructed to enter into negotiations with the
Spanish government for a new treaty with

A Search in St. Louis for Former Indian

ST. LOUIS April 25.-The St. Louis detectives
have been searching hotels and boarding houses
all day fo- one Andrew Wood, recently mem
ber of the merchant police force of
Indianapolis, and who, it is alleged,
eloped, "a few days ago. with
his handsome sister-in-law, Miss Mollie Peck,
aged but sixteen years The search was iusti-
gated by a telegram from the Indiapapolis chief
of police and a letter from Mrs Andrew Wood,
of No 2l9 Buchanan street, Indianapolis, the de-
serted wife. She says that she was married
20 Wood only two months ago. He was then a
Ridower and had child four years
old. Mrs. Wood took her sister, a handsome,
blackeyed brunette of voluptuous form, to live
with her. The bridegroom was thrown a great
deal in the company of his handsome sister-in-
law The wife never suspected anything,
and scarcely was the honeymoon begun
ere the husband, the handsome Mollie, the
child and all valuable assets about the premises
at 219 Buchanan street suddenly disappeared.
The wife laid the matter before the
police ard the truant couple and the
child were traced to Decatur, H., where
it was learned that their funds were running
low. Evidence procured at Decatur showed
that they had come to this city, and notice was
sent to Chief Harrigan, with a description of the
pair, and instructions for their arrest Traces
of the couple have been found here, but they are

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Inventors turn some
queer things into the government departments
which they expect will be sanctioned and adopted
for general use. A few weeks ago man in the
Southwest secured a patent on q hfe-saving
raft, and Immediately sent in a model to the
Treasury Department, expecting the supervising
inspector of steam vessels would order every
steamer in the river, lake and coastwise
trade to buy one Immediately The raft is
an oblong box, with a hatchway on each
side, so that it will float either side up. 1t is
claimed that if rolled over in the surf it will
never sink. Perhaps it would not but if there
should happen to be anyone inside it they would
very soon pray for death, as they could not re-
tain their feet ten seconds at time. The fatal
objection to the contrivance is, however, that a
fullsized raft, built after the plan of the model.
would have to be so heavy that at least fifty
men would be required to launch it. 1t will not
be adopted
The other day Louis Prince, of Nashville, o.,
walked into the Postofice Department with a
model of a new street letter box, upon which he
had just got patent. He was confident that it
would be adopted at once. Mr.. Gurley, who has
charge of the lettercarrier Offices, asked him if
he knew that if adopted, upwards of 90, 600 boxes
now in use, which cost about So each, would
have to be thrown away, and that his invention
would save no time and would be of no benefit.

spon6ent telegraphs from C,ark's Crossing: "A
messenger came down from camp, this morn
ing, and reported that when the rebels were out
in the bush behind the ravine, cheering and
jeering, guns were ordered up to- drive them
off, but that they captured one medicine
chest and few boxes of canned beef He also
reported that the officers could not allow him to
come down on the east side, as there were rebels
in the woods, at Mcintosh, and the troops were
in luck TO get through. This strengthens the
impression that the rebels have pre-
vented any messengers coming through
from Middleton tonight Middleton seems
10 have been unable to accomplish anything in
the way of an advance on the rebels. 1t is un-
derstood here that he is hampered by the neces-
sity of caring for all the wounded, and is having
supplies and ammunition forwarded. 1t appears
at present as if no further fighting would
take place before Sunday. All reports
of yesterdays fight show that the rebels had de-
cidedly the best of it. They were driven from
one part Of their position, but held the ravine,
and their fire caused terrible havoc among the
troops. Middleton evidently did not properly ap-
preciate the fighting qualities of the half breeds,
or he would not have sent raw volunteers. unac

union movement. He then began to think about
retracing his steps, and prepared for war. He
enlisted the sympathies of Mexico, and entered
into an alliance with Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Meanwhile he burdened the wires with friendly
messages to Barrios, and that chieftaln, confident
in the integrity and honor of his lifelong friend,
quietly awaited Information as to how his decree
was received by the outside world, and by Mica
ragua and Costa Rica AS far as the two latter
powers were concerned he was soon undeceived.
They Indignantly refused to concur in his move
ment, and declared war against Guatemala.
Then the slumbering lion was awakened,
and Barrios ordered the. march of his
force to the frontier of Salvador; but
up to the 9th of March he still confded in Zaldi-
var. While preparing to join his forces, Bar
rios received tho famous menacing telegram
from the Mexican President He read it care
fully two or three times. Those who were
with him noticed that he seemed bewdered, for
he passed his hand over his eyes several times
as though he disbelieved his very eyesight. He
then crushed the telegram into his vest pocket,
and wrote a dispatch which was Immediately
sent to Zaldivar. While waiting for answer
from the latter he walked rapidly up and down
the room, while his officers and ministers stood
respectfully by, but none dared to address him.
At last Zaldivars answer came. 1t
rios held the despatch moment in
his hand, and then threw it on the floor, stamp
ed upon it, and said, Gentlemen, Zaldivar has
played the traitor; he has entered into an alli-
ance with MEXICO, nicaragua ana costa hlca; MS
detection has. complicated the problem. 1 must
have time to deliberate with myself what to do.
Please leave me for few minutes The officers
and ministers left him, and he remained for two
hours closeted with Barrundea, the Minister OF
War. From that moment it is probable that
even the union movement was secondary con-
sideraton with him, while vengeance on Zaldivar
became the ruling sentiment of his heart"
