The Consul Positively Refuses to Dis
cuss the Present Situation
in Cuba.
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT WEYLER
Captain Of the Steamship Tells He
Didn't Surrender an
American.

New York, Nov. 5.-General Fitz-
hugh Lee arrived from Havana last
night on the Ward line steamer Vigien-
cia. General Lee said he had been
treated with military courtesy by Cen
oral Weyler, whom he described as a
gentleman with pleasant manners, but a
strict disciplinarian. He declined to
talk about Cuba, even in general terms.
Captain Mcintosh, who is in COM
mand OF the Vigilencia had only few
words to say in reference to the attempt
OF the Spanish authorities to arrest
Antonio Escalente at Havana on the
outward trip of the steamer.
THE chief of police" said he, "csme
aboard when we reached Havana and
told me that he had an anonymous let
ter from New York stating that Escalan-
te was on board my ship and that he was
fugitive inasmuch as he tried to evade
the military law told him that | had
such man on board, but that ! would

WAsnrNGToN, Nov. 4.--The president
today Issued tho following Thanksgiving
procl cllmation:
"By the president of tho United
States: The people of the United States
should never be unmindful OF the graft
tude they owe to the God Of Nations for
his watchful care, which has shielded
them from disaster and pointed out to
them the way of peace and happiaess.
Nor should they ever refuse to acknow-
edge with contrite hearts their prone
ness to turn away from Gods teachings
and to follow with sinful pride after
their own devices.
ITO the end that these thoughts may
be quickcnod, it is fitting that on the
day especially appointed, we should join
together in approaching the throne of
grace with praise and supplication,
"Therefore, l, Grover Cleveland, p.esi
dent of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
Goth day of November, to be kept and
observed as day of thanksgiving and
prayer throughout our land. On that
day let all our people forego their usual
work and occupation and assemble in
their accustomed places Of worship; let
them with one accord render thanks to
the ruler OF the universe for our preser-
vation as nation and our deliverance
from every threatened danger, for the
peace tina. has dwelt within our bound
aries, for our defense against disease and
pestilence during the year that has
passed, for plenteous rewards that have
followed the labors of our husbandry,
and for all other blessings that have
been vouchsafed US.
"And let us, through the mediation OF
Him who has taught us how to pray,
impore forgiveness of our sins and con-
tinuation of heavenly favor. Let US not
forget on this day of Thanksgiving the
needy and by deeds Of charity lot our
offerings of praise be made more accept
able in the sight of the Lord.
"Witness my hand and the seal of the
United States which ] have caused to
bo hereto affixed.
"Done, at Washington THE 18th day OF
November in the year of our Lord, 1896,
and of the independence Of the United
States of America, the one hundred and
twonty- first.

Sherman'S Opinion.

MANsrIELD, O., Nov. 5,--John Sher-
man gave out tho following signed state
ment: 81 sincerely hope that tho cleo
tion will settle forever question in my
opinion that threatens the honor and
good faith of the United States more
than any other since the close Of the
civil war, assuming, as do, ths election
of Mckinley. ] hope that the present
gold standard will be maintained with
the largest use of silver that can be
maintained at parity with gold. This
settled, we ought promptly to make such
nhRngeH in our tariff and revenue laws as
will yield Il sufficient supply Of money to
meet the current expenses Of the govern
ment and create sufficient eurplus to
pay outstanding bonds within few
years, and to sufficiently and impartially
protect American industries.

VIII Throw Them Out.

CINCINNATI, Nov. ga special to the
Times-Star from Lexington, Ky, says:
1t is stated that no election officers were
appointed in Breathitt county until on
the morning of the election and then
only silver men were put in. The demo-
cratic majority is $50 more than ever be-
fore, while the neighboring counties
showed smaller majorities In Owen
county primary election was held for
county officers in violation of the law.
The throwing out of these two counties
would elect Breckenridge and make
McKinley's majority 1000.

France and the Gar Both Think the

Stringent.

CoNsTANrINopLE, Nov. 5. - 1t was
semi officially announced that Great
Britain month ago asked that the
powers give ambassadors at CONSTANT
nople the authority to draw up scheme
for reforms to be executed by the Turk
ish government and to decide upon
measures to compel it's execution, in the
event OF the sultan's refusal to do so.
The powers were agreeable to the first
part Of the proposal, but Russia declined
to agree to confer upon the ambassadors
the power to summon wsrships to the
Bosporus, and France suggested the
addition of Russian delegate to the
administration of the Caisse of the pub
lie debt and to increase it's powers to the
extent of making it a permanent inter
national commission to control the
Turkish affairs. It is asserted that in
case Of resistance to their wishes, the
powers favor the dethronement of the

thoroughly satisfied from the returns
that there remains no further hope for
