WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-In diplomatic
circles here it is said that the cabinet crisis
in Spain will have no effect on the policy of
Spain toward Cuba, nor in any way affect
diplomatic or other general questions. The
crisis is due to a local contest in Madrid. into
which some of the cabinet ministers have
been drawn. 1t Is possible that the resigna-
ton of the minister of justice might result
in executing the plan of Cuban reforms
sooner than had been contemplated. These
reforms, giving limited autonomy to Cuba,
were adopted last March. but the present
minister Of justice has withheld their execu-
tion because the island was in rebellion. The
minister of foreign affairs has had no part
in the local contest in Madrid, so that his re-
tirement will not occur under any circum-
stances,

London Papers Accused of Making
False Stutcmepts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Senor Andrade,
the Venezuelan minister to the United States,
has received a cablegram from Caracas from
his government entirely disavowing a pub
LEGATION in the London Times giving what
purported to be an interview with President
Crespo. No such statements. it was said,
have ever been made to the government. The
article quoted President Crespo as expressing
a willingness to make reparation to Great
Britain for the Uruan incident which Lord
Salisbury is endeavoring to separate from
the long pending boundary dispute. The
position Of the Venezuelan government is, as
has been stated frequently in the Associated
press dispatches, that the Uruan incident and
the boundary dispute are inseparable, the
liability of the government for the Uruan
affair being dependent on whether or not
it occurred on Venezuelan or British soil.
Published statements that Senior Martinez
is in London on a secret mission to the Brit
ish government from the government of
Venezuela are denied also.

been received at the Department of Agri-
culture through the agent of the bureau of
animal industry stationed in the United
Kingdom, OF a case OF contagious pleuro-
pneumonia among the cattle landed from the
steamship Stephanie, from Buenos Ayres.
Additional cases of contagious pleuro-
pneumonia were also reported among the
cattle landed from the STEAMSHIP King from
Sydney, Australia.

ASK CONGRESS FOR ALL OF THEM.
Secretary Latest Scheme for
New BattleshfDs,

WASHINGTON, Dsc. 13.-The latest propo-
sition respecting the distribution of the con-
tracts for building the new battleships, which
subject is now engaging the attention of
Secretary Herbert, is that the secretary shall
ask congress for authority to accept all of
the bids at once. Inasmuch as the secretary
has already in his annual re-
port that ne be authorized to build two more
battleships, the proposition would not be as
radical as might at first appear, for 1t would
really amount to the authorization Of only
one ship more than provision was expected
to be made for by congress according to the
original plan, while the navy would
actually acquire six vessels for a sum which
was calculated to procure five. BY this plan
the Cramps, would build three ships, two
being armored according to their own plans:
the Newport ley company two, and the
Union Iron works one on the departments
plan.

Sim Record to BE Examined
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-When the report
Of the Judiciary committee recommending the
confirmation Of Charles b.. Simonton as United
States attorney for the western district of
Tennessee was reached by the senate in exc
cutive session yesterday, Senator Harris
asked that the nomination be sent back TO
the committee in order that opportunity
might be had for an investigation OF Mr..
Simonton's record. He added that he under
stood that charges were to be made against
Mr., Simonton. The request was granted. and
1t is understood that the committee will not
again take action on the nomination until
sufficient time shall be given to formulate
charges and to investigate them when made.
1t Is understood that threatened charges are
connected with Mr.. Simonton's professional
acts. Feeling is also said to exist among the
people of Memphis, the principal city In Mr..
Simonton's district. over the fact that the APP
pointment for this Office was not given to
that city. Mr.. Simonton was formerly a
member of congress from Tennessee. His
nomination as district attorney was made
upon the recommendation of Hon. Josiah
Patterson against the protest Of Senator
Harris.

A press agent of my acquaintance told
me once that it was his habit 10 make con-
tracts with managers and actors for whole
sale lots of entirely imaginary stories,
which he composed during the intolerable
heat of the summer months and which
were aftcrward scattered broadcast
throughout the country as true histories.
He made "a speciality of fairy tales for &C
tresses. whom he was wont to endow with
all the virtues, graces and talents calculat-
ed 10 endear them TO an art loving COM
munity like ours.
In fact, he informed me that he used to
write about their dainty flats filed with
rare engravinps and choice bric-a- brac, de-
noting the refined tastes Of the occupant, y
their early religious training, their clothes,
their ancestors, their social connections
and their numerous offers Of marriage
chiefly from millionaircs-in short about
everything except their acting, which he
explained was something that the public
took very little interest in.-Bachelor Of
