WAR WITH SPAIN IMPROBABLE.
No Fear of HostiIities in Adminis-
tratiOn Circles.

Washington. Nov. 1S.-The Cuban situa-
ton remains exactly as it stood when the
Southern Associated. Press sent out on
October q, the following dispatch: so far
as can be learned from the best sources
of information the rumors put in circula-
ton on Wall street, to-day, as to the
probability of war-like message from the
President on Cuban affairs and possible
extra session of congress, have no found
alton in fact, and were set aaoat for stock
jobbing purposes only. There have been
anticipations that Spain, falling to nego-
tiate the loans she is trying to place on
the European market for the further pros
ecution of the war in Cuba, might seek
to provoke some antagonism short of act
ual war with the United States In order
to allay excitement at home and to give
a plausible reason for the failure to sup
press the Cuban rebellion. This possibility
1t is understood was discussed in the cab
met meetings ten days ago, There have
been no new or startling developments
since and none are expected
One of President Cleveland's cabinet ad-
visers remarked with a smile when the
published statements about imminent war
were shown him to-day: The elections Is
over; suppose the newspapers must have
something to talk about, but l think the
Cuban question win be left for The Major
to settle.'
officials Of the war department deny
without qualification the story published
by a Chicago paper to-day to the effect
that the war department had called on
the railroad companies for rates for the
transportation of troops and war mater
ials from the west to Gulf ports. Some six
weeks ago the department in the ordinary
course of its routine business called on the
trans continental roads for bids for the ex-
change of troops between Florida and Cal
ifornia. This call is the only basis for the
absolutely unjustihable and alarming pub
lcation in the Chicago newspapers.

CLEVELAND TALKS OF CUBA.
He Does Not Think Trouble With
snnin Is Probable.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Senor de LONE,
the Spanish minister, received the follow
ing cablegram to-day from Duke de Te-
tuan, Spanish minister of foreign affairs,
dated Madrid yesterday.
'FThe cabegrams from New York and
Washington, published in London, refer
ring to supposed notes of Mr.. Taylor and
the Spanish government. are entirely
false. There is not the slightest founda-
ton for such rumors, which are undoubt-
edly of filibustering origin"
To a senator who called upon him to-day
to inquire in respect to the war rumors
in regard to Cuba, President Cleveland re-
piled that the position Of this government
was, as stated in his last annual message
to congress, one of traditional sympathy
with a people struggling for autonomy
and freedom, but nevertheless this gov
ernment felt its plain duty to honestly
fulfill every international obligation.
The President further said that every
precaution had been taken, so that If oc.
casion should arise in Cuba the United
States could assert itself with force, but
he did not think that occasion would arise
Secretary Lamont was more outspoken
and expressed his individual opinion that
some authoritative statement should be
made to put an end to these disturbing
and unjustified rumors of war.

TURKEYS BASE TREACHERY.
Massacre stiII Going on Behind the
Sultan's Reform Mask.

London, Nov. 1S.-The expression Of
English, French and continental opinion
generally, is a veritable chorus Of cele-
bration over the r&tored concert OF the
powers In regard to Turkey, as indicated
by Lord Salisbury in his speech at the
lord mayors banquet in the Guild hall
last Monday The sultan's acceptance OF
the large scheme of reforms submitted to
him is alleged to be due to the concert Of
the powers, which the French press credit
to M. Hanotauxs mastery seizure Of the
proper moment to coerce the porte.
In the London diplomatic circles all this
talk Of the sultan's acceptance of the
reforms is considered to be extremely
lshy, and the whole tenor Of the facts
derived from official sources In Constan-
tinople points to the certainty that the
sultan is pursuing his old course of deceit.
Before the extraordinary tribunal trying
the persons arrested for participation In
the Galata riots, was closed, under the
pressure exerted by M. Cambon, the
French ambassador, the sultan's judges
sentenced to death or to long terms OF
Imprisonment the whole crowd of Arme-
mans brought before them, and liberated
all the Moslems, and M Cambon now
asks for the appointment of a European
commission to report upon the sentences
imposed by the tribunal. The ambassadors
at Constantinople, viewing the sultan s
promises of reforms in the light of COM
edy, are leaving Constantinople for the
purpose of taking a holiday until the
chiefs of their respective governments de-
eide what to do next.

Charmed all the Hens.

| A big cock ruffiled- grouse came
plunging down the barnyard at Seth
Colby's near here the other day, and
strutted about among the hens, giving
himself all sorts of airs. The rooster
that had charge of this flock of hens
gazed at this impudent intruder in as
| constituent for a few seconds, and then
bristled up and started to show the
grouse that sole authority in that yard
was vested in himself The rooster
was as big again as the grouss, but the
gamey interloper from the wilds, put
himself in shape and treated Mr.
Rooster to something that was sur
prise to him. The grouse was so quick
and fierce in his fighting that after three
lively rounds, the rooster turned tail
and retreated to a far corner of the
barnyard The victor couldn't crow,
but he jumped upon a mound of straw
and looked the surroundings over with
such an imperious air, that it spoke
louder of his triumph than crow that
could have been heard mile. After
thus gloating over his victory, the wild
cock came off the mound and strutted
among the hens with more assurance
than before. The hens did not conceal
their admiration for the audacious gal
liant, and huddled around him, ignoring
scornfully the presence of their right
full lord, beaten Inundated in his cor
ner. For half an hour the grouse en-
joyed his pleasing triumph, and then
whirred away to his wooded haunts.
"And them hens" says Seth Colby,
who witnessed the remarkable exhibit
ton from the window of his hay NOV,

that dandy pheasant left 'em, and they
kept it up so long that they didn't rec
ognise the rooster for more'n two days.

many warnings of the apprC ach of disease.
