TOLEDO. O., March S.-There is consider
able excitement here tonight over the mys-
terious suicide of well-dressed stranger
in the best hotel in town. Friday night q
young man registered at the Boody house
as Charles J. Edwards, but gave no place
of residence. Saturday afternoon Rev.
Father Quigley. q prominent Catholic
priest, called at the Body house and asked
if Edwards was there. Receiving an
affirmative reply he notified the

parsonage Friday evening and told him he
was going to commit suicide. Quigiey

that he would not commit suicide for
twenty-four hours. Quigley says he be-
lieves the man came to murder him, and
when asked why Edwards should want to
kill him, replied significantly: "You no

ought to recollect that the congress of the

Spanish are not disposed
to allow themselves to be abb
sorbed by the great northern republic.
The people Of Cuba, it says, are strongly
Spanish and equally opposed to becoming
part of the United States. Probably, with
the exception of tradesmen, there is no
one in the islands who is at all DESTROYS of
annexation. Spain, the Herald continues,
would shed her last drop of blood in re-
sisting any attempt to deprive her of her
colony, fearing neither Cuban revolution
nor war with the United States.
