ON A SPECIAL MISSION.
Two Representatives of the Spanish Gov
ernment Here to Find out What
Americans Think of 1t.

New York. June S-Ostensibly for the
purpose of purchasing material for the
conduct of a semi-public enterprise, but
in reality to get an accurate idea of the
sentiment of the people of the United
States regarding Spain and the Spanish
rule in Cuba, two prominent Spaniards
have Just arrived in New York and made
their headquarters in the Westminster
Hotel. They are Jose de Goisoecheay
Primo de Rivera, who is at the head of
a royal speculative establishment in Ha-
vana, and Jose Collazo, confidential sec
retary of the official who directs the fl
nances of the isle of Cuba,
The personal business which they in
tend to transact will occupy only short
time, and the rest of the two weeks they
will spend in this country win be devoted
TO the acquisition of information upon
which to present a comprehensive re-
port to the Spanish government Of the
American feeling generally, and particu-
larly that caused by the edict of General
Weyler forbidding the expectation Of to-
bacco from the provinces of Havana and
Pinar del Rio.
When Messrs. Goicoechea and COLLAGE
were seen they would not admit that
they were here to get an idea of the i'm
preston caused ny the tobacco edict, but
the first thing they asked was what the
people of the United States thought Of It.
There has been a general impression
in Havana" said Senior collazo, that
the United States would retaliate by for
bidding the importation of manufactured
tobacco. Ii was spread among all classes,
but from the limited inquiry which have
been able to make in my travel from
Tampa, Fla. 1 do not see that there is

BsHop POTTER 70 ARpIrRArE.
His Success az Mediator Induces the
Central Labor Union to Seek the Abo-
lition Of Sympathetic Strikes.

New York, June Sat the request OF
the Master Builders Association. whose
members have become tired OF the vexa-
tious delays In their work caused by
strikes resulting from the differences be-
tween Electrical Workers Unions No. 3
and No. 8, Bishop Potter has consented
TO act as arbitrator between the dissent
ing unions.
This letter from him was read at the
meeting OF the Central Labor Union yes
terday by Charles W. Hoadley, secre-
tary Of Union No. 5:
No 10 Washington Square North, June
8. i@6.-AIy Dear Mr.. Hoadley: Your
letter OF the lth inst reached me last
evening. l will at once submit II to the
council Of mediation and Cancellation, and
do not doubt that they viii be willing to
undertake the arbitration which you re-
quest Due notice will be given OF the
time and place Of arbitration. Meanwhile
Il will be well for your joint committee
TO Indicate whether they desire to be
heard through the full committee or by a
subcommittee. Very faithfully yours,
II. c. POTTER
The bishop Is at the head OF the coun.
ell of mediation and Cancellation, which
was organized by several persons inter
ested in the cause of labor some months
ago. His letter means that he will act
as arbitrator, and briefs will be submit
ted 10 him at once by both sides
Hoadley made a strong speech advo-
eating the adoption Of a rule compelling
all unions TO submit their grievances to
arbitration before asking for assistance
through a general sympathetic strike
which. he said. generally resulted in dis
aster for both sides.
The idea was well received by most OF
the delegates. but George W. Turner
delegate of the International Machinists
Union, objected. His organization, he
said. had succeeded in "unionizin" sew
eraI large establishments through the aid
afforded by sympathetic strikes of othel
trades.
The Central Labor Union censured the
American Federation for the action o.
the United Brotherhood of Carpenter:
and Jolners. which is one of the larges
subordinate organizations. in trying L
exterminate the Stairbuilders' Union be
cause the latter will not amalgamati
with them. Members Of the Brother
| hood, It is said, have been taking th'
places Of striking members of the Stair
builders Union. and in many instance!
have offered TO work for wages below
l the union scale.

eral very racy developments during the
hearing OF the Ashley Baldwin case,
which was resumed before Judge Slack
today. when Detective ]. r. Wood was

the fair plaintiff was presented to the
court I'm a decidedly unfavorable light.
The whole OF the morning and part OF
the forenoon sessions were consumed in
the cross-examination Of Witness John
osburn, the Oregon farmer. Attorney
Crittenden questioned Osborn about his
letters TO the plaintiff and extracted the
admission that the witness had tried TO
carry out his correspondents challenge
to see who could write the most ardent
love letters. and Miss Ashley Uttered
audiblY when her former admirer stated
hesitatngly that he did not write so ar
IDENTIFY as he knew HON. He could not
recollect. however, the terms with which
he addressed her. nor how many love let
ters he had written, but thought II
might be ten or twelve.
Detective Wood testified that he hrsi
saw the plaintiff in 1873, when he met
her hN appointment IN tne patiui VI NhN
fremont Hotel, Boston, for the purpose
OF ascertaining what she wanted with
Colonel Alfred A. Pope. As she was hys-
terical and attracting attention ne In
duced her to accompany him TO his office
and told her that he had received infor-
nation 10 the effect that she had threat
aned to see Mrs. Pope and tell her that
the colonel had ruined her unless he set

Pope told Wood to buy her place IL
Pasadena, for 5000, II on her part she
would give Colonel Pope a written re-
lease from all claims and return his let
ters to her, Wood afterwards came tC
the conclusion that Miss Ashley was try
ing to blackmail Colonel Pope, and h'
declined to have anything to do will
the matter and advised the colonel to re
woke his gift OF the Pasadena place.

sons show its annual revolutions But
how IL reyolves or who set II In motion
and keeps Il In place, science has never

The speaker paid a glowing tribute 10
the Jewish race because OF It's marvellous

Greece II conceded TO be true. but no d.
rect descendent OF those races or peoples
remain oU the earth 20 attest TO the
trtithfulness OF the history. But the au-
thentlclty OF the Bible history OF that
