her altogether, but she stood in the door
and surveyed him from head to foot and
demanded:

NOT INTERFERING.

Uncle Sam Has No Designs ON San
Domingo.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. Mr.. Sagrario,
secretary and charge d'affairs of the
Spanish legation, called at the state de-
partment to learn If this government
had any official information regarding
the customs oncession made by the gov
eminent Of San Domingo to syndicate
of residents of the United States or was
interesting itself in the matter. The
ground OF the inquiry was published
telegram from Madrid to the effect that
the granting of customs concessions had
occasioned feeling likely to lead to q
revolution and that Captain General
Aricio OF Cuba, had limited at interfer-
ence by the United States in DOMINICAN
affairs. The telegram further stated
that if the Independence Of San Do
mingo were threatened by any action Of
the United States, Spain would enter q
protest.
Mr.. Sagrario was told that this gov
eminent had no official information re-
garding the affair and that there was
no information that the United States

s'to what extent he was becoming in
volved because he trusted implicitly in
the Judgment of his friend. The ex-
posture of his falsity completely un-
nerved the victim, and while political
reverses were accepted as part of polit-
ical life he is almost unable to endure
the present crash. But. honest man
that he is and always has been, he sadly
told me he would begin again, and no
man should lose cent who lent him
money by reason of his name.
ut is probable Myron T. Merrick,
treasurer of the Society of Savings, Of
Cleveland, will act with me as trustee.
At present it is not possible to say
how the financial end of the calamity
will be settled. The governor will turn
over every penny he has, but this will
only be drop compared with the aggre-
gate liabilities. He said his wife was
thoroughly decided to help out with her
own means, which think will amount
to about $40, 600 if sold at auction. The
possessions consist of farm land near
Canton and some other unimproved
property. However, all of it will not
cover the debts, since when I left Mr..
Mckinley we figured at least 500, 900
liabilities and they are increasing al
most hourly.

YOUNGSTOWN, O., Feb. 22.-The
statement has been furnished as result
of the Investigation into the affairs of
Robert L. Walker, showing that the
amount of paper on which Governor
Mckinley is endorser, is fully 500, 900

that the total liabilities of the governor
will not exceed the latter figure. The

Arrangements are being made to
