DEAw1NG NEAR A CRISIS.

Important Developments in the Cuban
Affairs Expected.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Important developments in Cuban af-
fairs may be expected at an early date,
but not from this end of the line. The
administration thoroughly understands
the situation in Cnba, as it exists today,
and does not regard the time as ripe for
any action by this country.
Many sensational reports are afioat
about immediate Intervention by the
United States and extensive military
preparations for prospective trouble
with Spain. 1t can be stated authori-
lively that the president regards the
milirary situation in Cuba as far to crit
ical to warrant any action by the United
States at this time. 1t is the firm con-
viction of the administration officials
that real crisis is approaching in Gu
ban affairs, and that the only safe course
for this country to pursue is to await de-
Velopments

the governor wired Judge Mcconnell to
come at once to Bismark. The Judge
was at Sherbrooke, in Steele county,
and telegraph says he missed the Great
Northern train at Hope, but started to
drive so miles across the Snow-iaden
prairie with the temperature below zero,
to reach the main line of the Northern
Pacific in time to catch the midnight
train to Bismark. It is ride to save a
mans life, and if he reaches the capital
in time to confer with Governor Allen,
the sentence will probably be commuted.

exercised within the next "a hours.

says:
Captain General Weyler has at last
met the Cubsns on the field, and has

vices per Steamer Olivette, from Ha-
vana, last night. Weyler, it is said,
was attacked while encamped in the
Gobernado hills, in Pinar del Rio prov
ince, by Cubans, under Perico del Bado
and Perico Diaz. The Cubans surprised
the Spanish outposts, and. for time,
great confusion prevailed in Weyler's
camp. Weyler is said to have fallen
back about eight miles. During the re-
treat, the Cubans killed thirty-four
Spaniards and wounded sixty others.

island, and she also knows that she will
not be allowed by either Europe or
America to exercise this suzerainty her

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Senators Clark
and Warren, of Wyoming; Senators
Brown and Cannon, of Utah, and SEN
ator Perkins, of California, whose future
positions of finance and the tariff have
been in doubt, may control by their
votes the action of congress this winter
on all financial legislation. They have
removed the uncertainty, however, by
telegraphing to the World where they
stand. All but one of them will par
ticipate in the Republican caucus and
abide by It's decision as to bills increas-
ing the public revenues. Three of them
are as much opposed to the single gold
standard as ever, but none of them,
except Senator Cannon, representa-
tive of Utah, will insist upon a free
silver rider to the Dingley or any other
tariff bill.

New TarIT Law Must Be Passed at Once

New Tariff Law Must Be Passed at Once.
NEW York, Nov. 11.-Senator Sher-
man, of Ohio, who is at the Fifth-ave-
nue. hotel, talked freely with an Even
ing Post reporter today about the out
look for legislation in congress.
''It will be necessary to pass a tariff
measure at once" he said. "The Ding
ley bill with some ceanges will do for
the present. The Democrats made a
great mistake in not permitting that
bill to pass at the last congress. It
was only a temporary measure, in
tended to raise the revenue the govern
ment absolutely needed, and if the
Democrats had let it go through they
would have escaped a great deal of
upon it. I doubt if the Democrats in
the senate will oppose the bill.
"I am sure the silver senators would
not obstruct legislation. 1 understand
all the silver men except Teller and
Dubois are opposed to the policy of OBJ
struction. If the Dingley bill is passed
at the coming session of congress there
will be no necessity for an extraordi-
nary session after March 4. Consider
ing everything 1 think the outlook for
the passage of the bill is bright.
SIT is doubtful if the Republicans
will have majority in the senate. No
body can tell yet whether Republicans
or Democrats will go to the senate from
Kentucky and North Carolina. Until
these states elect senators it will be
impossible to say which side will have
a maioritv'' -

paper down. I told him l had the
paper. The Senator explained that he
wanted it kept secret. Mr.. Craig said he
could acknowledge it, but could not put
seal on it without entering it in his book.
He asked the usual questions-we both
acknowledged it in that way.

Witness stated that she first saw the
deeds for the Pine and Sansome street
property on September "a, 1894. Senator
Fair was talking about providing for me.
He had been writing his will, and some
one rem arked that he had not provided
for Mrs. Craven, and he took the deeds
from his pocket and handed them to her
saying: ''This is the way / have provided
for you. ]. have given you the Pine
and Sansome street property and the
Mission-street property that you have
passed so often.'
The question of having them acknowl-
edged came up. Fair said they We're
just as good not being acknowiedg
as she could have them "placarded"
in the Hall of Records. She said she
would prefer that he would have 1t ac-
knowIedged. He asked if she knew dis
Greet notary who would not tell about it.
She said she did not. He said that he pre-
ferred she should take the responsibility
OF having it acknowledged, as, if it got out,
she would blame him. Fair took the deeds
and returned them to her afterwards ac-
knowledged.
She had received letter which was
placed under her door. 1t was written in
pencil.
Subsequently she received telephone

afterward. He had come to the
house for the especial purpose
of writing the will. He said they had
been after him SO much to make will
that he was determined to make one where
they could not get at him. She had told
Mrs. Johnson of the Colonial Hotel about
having the will before Senator Fairs death.
After much discussion the following let
ter was produced by Mrs. Craven, but it
was not read. 1t is the only letter OF the
Senator's she had at hand. 1t read as fol-
lows:
December 16, 1895.
Dear Mrs. Crauen: thought would see you

The witness stated that in 1889 Senator
Fair had given her a deed to piece OF
property which she thought was out OF
the City. The deed was not to be
recorded until after Senator Fairs death
and as he was a hale and hearty man at
that time she paid little attention TO 1t.
She had said nothing to Lloyd about this,
although she had mentioned 1t to her own
attorney, Mr.. Williams, since the Senator
death.

In the afternoon the inquiry was di-

contract for the $500, ,0O0to be paid to you
was conditioned that you should deliver
up the will and the deeds"
