ne was about to leave in the care of
friends during his absence, and all being
ready for his departure, he so notified his
tamily here. Mr.. Reyes, to avoid suspi-
clon, came on ahead of Mr.. Casuso. and
his arrival here without his brother-in-
law created in the hearts of the Cubans
fears that something dreadful had oc-
CURED. Immediately after Mr.. Reyes ar
rival word came that Mr.. Casuso had been
arrested on the charge of treason to the
government, through some of the lady
pupils sheltering a wounded insurgent
The ladies' were arrested and imprisoned
in Moro Castle, being submitted to the
most indecent indignites. and Mr.. Casuso
was placed beyond his friends reach.
Mr.. Reyes, on hearing this, returned i'm
mediately to Havana, despite the tears of
his wife, who was on the eve of becoming
mother, and the peadings Of his sister
and friends who saw his danger, but he
went to defend his friend, and notwith-
standing his great influence in both Spain
and Cuba, he was cast into dungeon and
would there be rotting with his other rel
atlves, Sanguilly, whose sister is also here,
and Casuso, only that the foxy Weyer
sent him to Spain for trial, as he dared
not touch him in the face of public opin-
ioh Through channels which the Cubans
maintain for information, it was soon
learned that Mr.. Reyes was sailing to Mad
rid. After that no word could be had other
than that he had been sent to the coast of
Africa
One might possibly imagine the sufferings
of the mother as she held her babe in her
deliriums, asking, Has not my husband
come to see his baby" and with a wife's

husband, or else he would send word to
her. Her sister and friends were heart
broken but dared not tell her that word

dead, until now month after
The Spanish version is that while the
warship, on which Mr.. Reyes and other
distinguished Cubans were honored
guests, while cruising off the African
coast the gentlemen, in violation of or
ders, went on shore to fight some pirates,
which they met, and before assistance
could reach them all were killed This
lie smacks Of the ways adopted by Pedro
Menedez with the shipwrecked French
men, who on beipg cast on this shore, ap-
pealed to the butcher Menedez for pro-
lection. This he gave the 23O men, but
as he was afraid the provisions would run
out he butchered them on Anastasia Is
land.
Mrs. Reyes is in a terrible state of mind
knowing that her husband has been
slaughtered, and that her brother lies
rotting in a Spanish den, with no hopes
of relief. Her grief is shared by her sis
ter and relatives here, but to mention
their names would only incur Weylers
blood-thirsty wrath and give him ex-
cuses for more innocent blood.

COBDEN CLUB COMMENTS.
Result of the Election in This COun-
try Talked Over.


London, Nov. PA meeting of the Cob
den Club was held at the rooms of the
National Liberal Club this afternoon
Among the speakers was Lord Farrer Of
Abinger, formerly Sir Thomas Henry Far
rer the author of Free Trade versus
Fair Trade" and other economic works.
Lord Farrer expressed his satisfaction
that Mr.. Chamberlains proposals for an
imperial zollverein had fallen fiat both at
home and in the colonies, as he was op-
posed to free trade that meant only free
trade with the colonies and protection
against foreign countries. He was graft
fed at the election of Mckinley to the
American presidency, though he was
merely the lesser evil. If Bryan had not
appeared as a candidate he would have
thought Mckinley the worst possible man
for President.
Lord Playfair said: 1.-The issues at
stake in the American presidential cleo
tion controlled question Of constitutional
government, and also the issue of our
faith in democracy. If Bryan had been
elected that faith would have been shat
tered and the commercial panic which
would have ensued would have been enor-
NOUS But far more serious than a COM
mercial panic would have been our loss
of faith in the democracy of the world
Speaking of his personal observation in
the United States during the presidential
campaign, Lord Playfair said he felt re-
quired to say that the silverites were not
dishonest, but mistaken. Free trade was
not an issue in the contest, with the ex-
ception that 1t was mentioned in some of
McKinley's speeches. In view Of the fact
that the pivot of the election was sound
money, the world ought to feel glad OF the
result 1t would be a long time, he pre-
dicted, before the ardent protectionists
of the United States would seek to change
the existing tariff. The sound politi-
clans of the United States had many ques-
tions of their own to solve and he had no
doubt that they would take advantage of
the opportunity to deal with the question
of the currency, but they were not likely
to attempt to bring about revival of high
protection

SEABOARD SURE TO SLASH.
THE ROAD ITCHING FOR ANOTHER
FIGHT WITH THE SOUTHERN.

The Rate War Looked Upon at Bal
timOre as IA Question of Only n
short Time Unless the Roads Can
Adjust Their Dlfferences-vice
President Hoffman Says He VIII
Await Developments Before De-
cIRrInE War.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. A.--That renewal
of the rate war from Baltimore to the
south is only a question of a short time
unless the management Of the Seaboard
Air Line system and the Southern Rail-
way Company adjust the differences that
exist between them. Is generally believed
here. When President Hoffman Of the
Seaboard Company was questioned to-day
in reference to the prospective renewal OF
hostiltles, he would not commit himself.
lie intimated, however, that the Seaboard
would begin slashing rates again IL the
Southern persisted in its present policy to-
ward the Seaboard-that Is, denying the
latter through passenger service between
New York and New Orleans, and running
a line of steamers between Baltimore and
Norfolk in opposition to the Bay Line,
which is owned by the Seaboard Air Line.
Il have not outlined any policy as yet,"
said MIR. Hoffman. Il was in hopes that
when the negotiations for the transfer Of
the control of the property to the New
York people fell through, the Southern
would be willing to withdraw its objec-
tions to what are undoubtedly our rights
and restore harmony. II IL does that, of
course we will be satisfied and trouble will
be averted. but II IL ignores our claims, as
IL has done, the responsibility must be
upon the shoulders of the Southern rail-
way and not upon the Air Line system.
The Seaboard Will insist upon fair treat
ment, and If 1t is denied u.s. then we will
take steps to enforce our rights 1t Is pre-
mature, however, to talk of another rate
war. For the present / win take no ac-
ton. l viii await developments"
Norfolk, Va, Nov. 24.-Vice President
st. John of the Seaboard Air Line, was
interviewed by a Virginian reporter to-
day, with reference to the interview in
a Washington paper yesterday. He said
that the reporter, perhaps unwittingly
drew upon his imagination to a limited
extent In connection Herewith Mr.
st. John states that he positively declined
to answer many of the questions put TO
him. and especially those concerning pos
sibe cut rates in the future, and the one
Of through cars, but says that the reporter
is absolutely correct in the statement
that he would enforce in the future az
In the past, such policy as might be
deemed wise and just by the president
and directors of the company" and In
the other statement that the Southern
knew how TO obtain peace" and he could
have added the other statement made.
that the Seaboard desired honorable
peace at all times"
Mr.. st. John states that the Seaboard
has no grievances so far as he knows
against any other lines. Further than this
the reported interview is entirely oor-
rect, so far as 1t has been brought To III.
attention, without having seen the origi-
nal publication.

Barcelona, Nov. A.-The attorney gen.

SANTA FEES REcETVERsHIp.
The Stock Jobbing Charge to BE rg~
nOred in the Court.

nOred in the Court.
Topeka, Kans., Nov. A-Further than
the filing Of the depositions as told in these
dispatches yesterday. the stock-jobbinR
conspiracy in the Santa Fe recelvership
case has not yet been aired in the federal
court, and it is now probable that It win
not be at this hearing. The attorneys
for the prosecution have temporarily waiv-
ed the question Of fact and say they are
willing to submit their cases on the points
of law alone. They accordingly withdrew
the relations of facts set forth in their
motion and this shuts the Santa Fe out
Of introducing questions of fact while
this motion to remand Is being consider
ed. Unless, therefore, the prosecuting at
torneys decide to go into the questions
of fact, the evidence tending to prove
a stock-Jobbing conspiracy will not be
introduced into the trial.
The Santa Fe attorneys claim that Is
a complete back down on the part OF
the opposition and assert they are afraid
to let the damaging evidence be intro
duced. The opposition say this Is not
true, but at the same time they will re-
fuse TO allow the case to take any other
turn than discussion Of the points of law
involved.

ping while in the city. A man employed
at one Of the nearby residences states
that he heard a shot at II O'Clock or be-
