as the Spanish soldier num-" She left
memoirs which have been translated or
summarized or ''romanciied' in most
European tongues. The truth of them
has been disputed. but the London Stand

popes and kings, mobiles and savants ac-
cepted every word, while evidence re-
manned to support or question the state
ments. Catalina, we are told, ran away
from a nunnery in San Sebastian at the
age of Is, transformed her conventional
habiliments into doublet and hose and
found employment as a page in the
household of a noble at Valladolid.
Driven from this refuge by the an
pearance of her father-who had no sus-
picion, nevertheless-she joined an ex-
petition sailing to Peru under charge of
Ferdinand de Cordovo. Her ship was
wrecked off Paita and she alone refused
to desert the captain, who stood by his
vessel Catalina then built little raft,
broke open the treasure chest, took as
much gold as she could carry and set of

is natural ebbing of the tide from

ALrGELD INTERVIEWED.
If Gary Does Not Get 10000, it Will Be
a Rebuke.

Chicago, Nov. S.-Returns up to 10
o'clock indicate the election of the
entire Republican judicial ticket with
the possible exception of Kraft, who
was supposed to have some anarchist
leanings.
Judge Gary. on whom Governor
Altgeld made the fight, is elected by
5000 or more, and leads the rest of the
ticket by two to four thousand, chiefly
by the aid of Democratic votes. The
board of county commissioners will be
mixed
Defeat of the Democrats here and
the election of Judge Gary has been a
severe blow to Governor Altgeld, who,
it is said, dictated the make up of the
Democratic ticket. The defeat, it is
thought, has lessened the governors
chances for reelection. and has dis
couraged the Democrats on the eve of
an election of successor to Mayor
Harrison.
Governor Altgeld was interviewed
today on the causes of the Demo-
cratic defeat in Chicago, and said, IF
Judge Gary does not run 10000 ahead
of his ticket, then the election will be
a rebuke. While Judge Gary, as a
man, is reelected ''Garyism" is de-
feated. So far as my personal attitude
is concerned, it has been deliberately
misrepresented for partisan purposes. y

The Balance of New York, However is
Republican.


Republican.
New York, Nov. S.-The election in
this state is a clean sweep for the
Republicans and every hour adds to
the thoroughness of the Democratic
defeat.
Bartlett is elected to the court of ap-
peals over Maynard by probably over
G., coo and the rest of the Republican
state ticket wins by 10000. The senate.
which is, now Democratic, will have
a Republican majority Of six. the as
sembly of seven. In the constitu-
tional convention there will be 105
Republicans and seventy Democrats.
Tammany carried New York City
by $4,000. Except as to Maynard, who
ran 10000 behind his ticket, Brooklyn
will overwhelmingly ring with over
$4,000 plurality. Buffalo repudiated
Leader Sheehan by $500.
The latest reports from all parts of
the state show that the Republican
victory is fully as great as the most
enthusiastic of the party's leaders
claimed. Bartlett's majority for judge
of the court of appeals over Maynard
lis. in round figures, SO, 700; General
Paimer's majority for secretary of
state is $4,000.
Albany, N. Y, Nov. S.-Governor
Flower gave this interview tonight:
The returns show a large falling off
in the Democratic poll in most of the
Industrial centres of the state, and
this must be attributed to the business
depression and the thousands of men
out of work.

the United States government, brought
a food of INQUIRIES to the state depart

THE STORY SAID TO BE TRUE.
Alleged Advices From Honolulu Anent
the Restoration.

Victoria. B. c., Nov. S-Advices
from Honolulu received by the Warri-
moo. which arrived this afternoon
state that Chief Justice Ide and Land
Commissioner Chambers are author
itv for the statement that Cleveland
will recommend a sort Of protectorate
for Hawaii under the form of a new
treaty which will be sent to the Senate
in December.
When the matter was brought to the
attention of President Dole, and mem
bers of the government, the opinion
was expressed that such an arrange
ment would be satisfactory.
Chief Justice Ide confirmed the state
ment made by Chambers and insisted
that the United States did not intend
to let 90 of either the Hawaiian Is
lands or Samoa. This is Cleveland's
Pacific policy and it would be carried
out to the letter.
A leading royalist at Honolulu claims
to have received serni-ofhcial advices
from Washington to the effect that the
ex-queen would be restored within a
limited period. They are confident the
news was genuine. The Hawaiian
treasury surplus continues to increase
and is now upwards of a hundred and
sixty thousand dollars.

THE CONDITION OF THE TREASURY
Carlisle Has Conference with the New
York Bankers.

New York; Nov. s.-secretary Car
Isle returned to Washington this
afternoon. Last evening he had an in
formal conference with Assistant
Treasurer Jordan and several promi-
nent New York bankers. On reliable
authority, it is learned the time was
principally occupied in talking over
the present condition of the United
States treasury. Nothing of cohse-
quence was said by Carlisle as to the
future financial policy of the present
or what measures
Cleveland would recommend should be
adopted by Congress to relieve the
strain upon the treasury, but it is be-
lieved a plan was suggested, which,
if carried out will relieve the treas
ury from further trouble, at any rate
until Congress can do something. The
success of the plan will require the
cooperation of the leading banks in
the city. 1t is suggested that no
orders be issued for the coinage of
any more silver dollars in order to
merely obtain the use of the seignor-
age.
