The Spanish minister, bitterly denounces

the Spanish minister, bitterly denounces
the statements made by Gen. Carrillo
in the letter given in the Jacksonville
dispatches. He said the reports that
Maceo was assassinated or killed by any
treachery were false and absurd and to
give credence to them would be an In
suit to Judgment. Beyond this the min
lister declined to discuss the story.
Asks That Judgment Bo Suspended.
Minister De LONE expresses the hope
that the American people will suspend
Judgment regarding the reported as
sassination of Maceo until the real facts
are known. He ridiculed the statement
that Vice Capt. Gen. Ahumeda should
be party to such an occurrence, and
he believes that there are sufficient
number of reputable correspondents in
Havana to investigate these charges
fairly and publish the result.
The Cause Will Not Suffer.
The circumstan tial details were sig
nificant to the Cuban delegation and for
the first time Senior Quesada, charge
d'affairs of the jun ia, admitted the prob
ability that Maceo was dead. He said
the cause of liberty would not be hurt
by Maceo's death, for his loss would be
offset by reaction that would proba-
bly, follow here,and in Cuba in the in
surgent interestin the alleged assassina-
ton.

A St. Paul Crash.

St. Paul, Dec. 15.-That nightmare
of st. Paula cable accident on tho
Selby avenue hill-again became re-.
atty last evening, The grip slipped as
an ascending train neared the top of
the grade. Time was given for the
majority of the passengers to alight.
Several prominent citizens thus es-
capped. Then the train started back
wards, downward.
The brakes, patented and otherwise,
held until the curve was reached at the
intersection of Third street. Here the
icy track rendered the brakes useless.
Back went the three wild runaway
cars until at Pleasant avenue they
crashed into q crowded train going up.
But three persons were seriously in
jured, all upon the rear platform of
the descending car.
The injured are Julia Rolm burg,
Henry s. Young and Anna L.,Munson.
All were hurt about the limbs and
back. Two others were slightly hurt.
None of the passengers on the ascend
ing train were hurt in the least, most
of them having ample time to get off
the cars.

Plan for Settlement OF Anklo-American

Washington, Dec. 14.-The negotia-
lions between the United States and
Great Britain for a treaty Of general Or
bitration, covering all subjects of diff.
ference between the two English.speak-
ing nations, present and prospective
have advanced to stage OF complete
ness far beyond what the public has had
reason to believe. The purpose OF Sec
rotary Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote
Is to conclude the negotiations within
the next three weeks All of the sub
stantial features of the trenty have been
agreed on. From the present status of
the negotiations it is believed the fol-
lowing will be the important terms Of
the treaty:
II. A term Of five years from the date OF
the exchange Of ratification within which
the treaty shall be operative.
20. A court Of arbitration Of six members.
three to be drawn from the judiciary OF
the United States and three from the
judiciary Of Great Britain.
..2 The submission to this tribunal of all
differences between the two nations. now
rending or to arise within the period OF
i've years, this not to include the Behring
sen Question or the Venezuela qucs-
ton. now before Independent com
missions but to include tho question OF the
boundary between Alaska and British
North America"
The completion of this treaty wilb
mark an important epoch in the rela-
tons between the two EngIish-speaking
nations, and in the judgment OF those
who have been most identified with its
consummation it will be the most i'm
porta Mt document of peaceful charac-
ter in the history of their mutual deal
ings.
AS vet it cannot be stated definitely
whether the treaty will cover differ
ences involving national honor and SOW
ereignty. This was point of Disagree
ment early in the negotiations 1t is
probable, however, that an exception
will occur in this respect, as the treaty
is meant to cover the usual and ordi-
nary differences which arise between
nations, rather than such extra ordinary
events as an insult to the flag or any
other national indignity, which are ust-
ally considered outside the scope of ar
bitratiOn.
