SPAIN RETURNS ASSURANCE.
The Governments Satisfaction With
the Cleveland Administration.

LONDON, December 22.-The Standards 9
Madrid correspondent says that the gov
ernnent has signified to the Washington
government that il is satisfied with the
friendly tone of President CIeveland's mes
sage, and with the attitude of Mr. Olney
before the senatorial committee on foreign
relations This correspondent adds:
'SenOr Canovas will not take the slight
est notice of tall talk or resolutions by
Congress as long as the executive preserves
an attitude in harmony with the usages
and provinces Of international law, which
Spain is entitled to expect both President
Cleveland and President Mckinley to re-
spect. He anticipates that a similar COM
mon sense Will animate the American press
and people. when the jingo scare fades
away. Indeed, IL would be next to impos-
sible for any Spanish government to yield
TO foreign interference now.
The press today is much cooler and is
confident of gaining time. Rumors of un-
usual war preparations must be received
with caution, as the ministers are only act
ing within the budget limits. They do not
wish any aggressive meaning to be attached
10 purely defensive precautions and to the
provision Of war stores for Cuba and the
Philippines
The Daily News warns the Spanish war
minister against any warlike preparations
against the United States
1T is quite ciear." says the Daily News
that nothing is ever intended TO come of

DECIDED IN BRAINS FAVOR.
Damag ging Evidence Ruled Out by Il
Court.

BOSTON, December 1.-THE prosecution
in the case OF the sailor, Bran, charged
with the murder of Captain NASH on board
the barkentine Herbert Fuller, suffered a
setback To-Day.
Just as court was about to adjourn yes
terday District Attorney Hoar offered to
introduce testimony to prove that Bran
had, on an earlier occasion, proposed to
shipmates to kill the captain and officers
of the vessel with which they had shipped,
seize it and engage in piracy. Objection
was made TO this line of testimony.
On the opening of court today Judge
Webb ruled against the admission OF the
proposed evidence. saying:
I'VE believe such evidence to be in vio-
lation of the fundamental rule that the
propo sal to commit and the actual COM
mission of another crime unconnected with
that laid In the Indictment, cannot be given
in evidence against the accused"
This is considered serious blow to the
prosecution, as no motive for the murder
of Captain Nash has beer shown.

house Cases.

CHICAGO. December 22.-Judge Tuley.
in the circuit court today, rendered a deci-
sion in the elevator warehouse cases. find
ing against the warehousemen on all
points. Five months time was granted

an appeal to the Illinois supreme court

The cases have been pending for several
months, the action being in the shape of a
petition brought on the information of At
torney General Moloney for an injunction
restraining the elevator men from buying,
mixing and storing their own grain with
that of their customers. This injunction
was granted, the court holding the practice
of the elevator men is Illegal. The ele-
vator companies affected are the Central,
George A. Seaverns, South Chicago Ar
mour, Charles Counselman, Chicago Rail-
way Terminal. Nebraska City Railroad,
Chicago Edison Keith, Alexander Davis and
others.

AMERICAN RUBBERs.
Consul MOnoRhan Says There is n
Field for Them I'm Germany.

F1eId for Them In Germany.
There is a big field i'll Germany for Amer
lean rubbers, says United States Consul
Monaghan at Chemnitz in a report to the
State Department. At present Russia is
supplying most of the rubbers worn In
Germany. selling through agencies all over
the empire. but neither the Russian nor the
German-made article is as good as the
American product, being clumsy and lack
ing in durability. although it commands
the market just now by reason of its lower
price. The consul also submits some sta
tistics to show how Germany is building
up large trade at Engiands expense with
New South Wales. He gives a list tf the
principal German exports to that colony,
and says they are not nearly as good as
our own wares, aud with the advantage of
cheaper and quicker freights across the
Pacific the United States should certainly
have this trade. The Germans, however,
keep their goods up to or above sample
pack them with great care and employ
competent salesmen speaking several lam
euages, and thus continue to extend their
trade In all quarters. Circulars are in
Mr. Monoghan's opinion. not worth the
paper they are printed on ~ . means Of
introducing goods.
