CUBA NOT FOR SALE.

Spain OppOSed-Alfonso's Remarks-Pres.
ident Cleveland's Views.
NEW York, June 1.-THE Herald Q
Madrid correspondent te!egraphs ths' the
reports Of Spain having sent Senor Ba-
taners TO Washington to negotiate the sale
of Cuba to the United States are utterly
bsseless. The correspondent reports the
following results of conversations with lead
inh Spanish statesmen Of all parties: Senior
Eldusyer, Secretary oi State, said: mo
m!risS;-y wouiG Oe permitted by the Span.
ish people TO sell Cuba under any circum-
stances. This Government has neither Of
fetal nor private knowledge of Senior Bs-
tsnero, and has no agents in the United
States except its legation. The deficit in
Cuban revenues furnish no excuse for q sale.
1t is not possible to express in too strAg
language the possibility of such sale. "
EN-Prime Minister Segasta said: THE
mere suspicion of negotiations for the sale
OF Cuba would probably cause politica
revolution.
Senior Moret, leader of the advanced Lib
erals, said: Neither party could be in.
duced to sell Cuba On this point all parties
think alike Senior Lsbra, q prominent
Republican, SAID mo Republican would for
q moment consider the sale of Cuba as q
possibility" Senior CASTELAR,, the distiu
guished ex-President of the Spanish Repub-
lie, expressed his concurrence in these senti
ments.
President CleveIandPs Views.
A Washington special SAYS Your cor
respondent is able to to say, on the best au-
tbOrity, that President Cleveland and the
administration are entirely and decidedly op
posed to all acquisitions of territory,
whether of Cuba or parts of Mexico or else
where. The President feels very strongly
and positively on this point. He believes
We have Iow as much territory and IS large
8 mass of ilhterste and incongruous
material in our population as We
can safely manage. He is totally
opposed TO an sggrsndizing foreign policy,
and believes that we have work enough to
30 at home in reforming our home admins
tration. He believes that the extension of
commerce with our neighbors on fair terms
of exchange will benefit US aud them, and
that the cultivation o. such commercial re
latiCns will give US al the benefit which we
could get from the possession of their terri
tories without the grave burdens aud costly
responsibilities which territorial extension
would bring upon as. Ii is certain, there.
fore, that no schemes for the purchase and
anne xation of Cuba, or for other territorial
extension, will find favor with President
Cleveland. He understands the nature OF
such schemes, and is opposed to them as
injurious and dangerous to the welfare OF
this country and the perpetuity Of our form
Of government"

LENIARs, Iowa, June l7.--As the reports
from outlying districts come in it becomes
evident that the tornado which swept over
Plymouth and Cherokee counties was at
tended with great loss Of life. The killed,
so far as reported, are: Mrs. Vim. Gsno and
child, at Marcus, twenty miles east on the
Illinois Central Road. Nick Msskel, aged
sixty-fYe years -Goetchle, aged twenty
six, found in q lake, plank having struck
him over the heart. He was instantly
killed. Sixteen n are reported killed in Cher
okee county. Those fatally injured are:
Daniel Hayes, Nick Goedert, Mr.. and Mrs.
Rudolf b Lane, Mr.. Kennedy, Of Remion,
ten miles east; Mr.. Moecke, aged fifty
years; Mary Moecke, Lizzie Moecke, Adam
Goetchle. Those seriously injured are:
John Swim, Mrs. Cramer, Mrs. ID. RsYes;
two other ladies In the same house were
also injured; John Goetchle, his wife and
two children, John Beaucaire and Mrs.
Silas Forbes. The streams have risen so
rapidly that the physicians cannot visit their
patients. There will probably be other
deaths and injuries reported as the water
subsidies.
The course Of the tornado was as follows:
1t reached Sioux City at H:l5 and Lemars
at 1915. 1t lasted about thirty muintes
and was accompanied by rain and hail 1t
then yeered to the east and was next
heard Of, damsge being done as far east
as Waterloo. Until 1915 a. m. it rained,

Another Tornado

more destructive than the first, lasting an
hour and half. This came from Southern
Dakota, as far west rs 1ankton. The
track, as far as can be learned at this time,
was in the shape of q letter Y, with the base
Of the letter pointing east, the junction be-
ing in Cherokee county, where the largest
amount of damage was done. From Onaws
By way of Sioux City, to Cherokee, it is
nearly eighty miles; from Ysnkton to Cher
okee it is l20 miles and from Cherokee to
Fort Dodge it is T5 miles. This will give
an idea of the storms course. The durs-
ton Of the storm at Lenars was about an
hour and half The damage in Cherokee
county will amount TO $4,000; in Wood
bury county, 100000; Plymouth county,
100000; Monona county, SO, 900, and Ida
county, $4,000. This time there are re-
ports Of damage in Buens Vista, Sac, Pocs-
hontas, Calhoun and Webster counties, but
not enough to form an estimate as to the
loss. At Bayard and Fort Dodge it was in
the form Of wind and rain, having spent
its fury.
