There have been several marked changes in
the personnel of the Diplomatic Corps here.
Several Diplomats Of high standing have re-
ceived orders from their respective Govern
menis directing their departure from Washing
ton for other points. number of their sue
cessors have already been announced, and the
inspection of their records which has been
made show that they will make welcome addi-
tions TO the corps here. Baron A. Won Saur-
ma-Jeltsch, the German Ambassador, will be
succeeded by Baron Won Thieliuan, expected
to arrive in a few days. Senior Don De
Muruaga will vacate the office of Spanish Min

has been here before, and is well known. DR..

Apropos of the retirement of Senators George
and Coke it may be remarked that the figure
of an ex-United States Senator in retirement in
small city or town is, as drawn by those
familiar with the life in such places, very
attractive one. He continues to the end of his

days man of the highest local interest. The
bar, the clergy, and the local press all rally
around him. lie interprots all questions of
National consequence for the community. If
he is a lawyer his office is the resort of all who
share his favor and are interested in the dis
cussion of public affairs. He continues thus,
though out OF actual commission, to lay down
the law TO large number of his former con-
stituents. The length of time he may have
been absent from Washington never impairs
his authority. He once was there. and that is
enough. Then, at the close, the community
yields to profound and unaffected sorrow.
Grape on the ex-Senator's door is the signal for
general suspension Of business. The streets
are thronged, the local societies and the militia
are all called ont, a long line is formed, and at
the head is the local brass band playing slow
march, which temporarily arrests grief and adds
a new terror to death. 1t is not so very dull
being an ex-senator and living among appre-
ciative people. In cases like those of Senators
Coke and George there is always respectful
curiosity expressed as to how men. after 1S
years of prominent political life at the Capitol
here. can bear the thought of retirement in
some distant town, and of taking up again
with the private life of home. There is an idea
that the change is so great it shuts out the
possibility of happiness Statesmen out of

Rumor..says Corbett Is Not Doing Much
Training.
New YORK, Sept. ia morning
paper prints report that Champion
Corbett's friends do not believe that the
fight with Fitzsimmons will come off
and that consequently he is not train
ing. An interview is given with Par
son Davies who says:
II saw Corbett about a week ago and
I did not like his looks. He did not
seem to have the life and energy which
he formerly possessed and his eyes
were dull and istless. I attributed this
to the fact that he had been knocking
about the country good deal playing
ball, attending theatrical performance,
keeping late hours and other dissipa-
lions.
Corbett Is Wonderful Man
though and a great fighter. IF he
trains all right and enters the ring in
fit condition there is no doubt but that
he will defeat Fitzsimmons. Bob,
however, is in great condition right at
this time and will put up hard fight.
IF Jim is not right up to the mark he
may suffer defeat. 1 do not attach
much Importance to what I hear of the
condition of the two men, for I don't
believe they will meet, at least not
in Texas. When q governor of a
state announces that he will stop a
prize fight he generally means what he
says, and in this instance think Gov

New YORK, Sept. ia special from
Havana under date of Aug. 30, says:
There is report about town that a
great battle has been fought in Puerto
Principe and that the Spanish have been
defeated and the capital captured by the
insurgent forces. It is said that a
strong force of Spanish troops left the
city Of Puerto Principe to make bold
attack upon the insurgents, who were
beseiging the town. The insurgents
fled after making weak resistance, but
it was only to 9h

Once in the trap the Spanish were at
tackled in the front by General Antonio
Maceo and in the rear by General
Gomez. The rebel forces obtained a
complete victory and entered the capital
triumphant, $4,000 strong.
How near the truth this statement is
cannot be ascertained, but General
Campos' immediate departure for Neu-
vitas the very day he arrived here is
suggestive of something serious having
happened.
