WEYLER Is TURNED DOWN,
Spain Grants Secretary Olney's
Request for a Civil Trial Of
Competitor Prisoners.

New York, Sept IA special from
Washington TO the Herald says: ''The
Spanish government has yielded to the
demands of the United States for a trial
by a civil court Of the Competitor prison
ers. The formal announcement is ex-
pected in the next mail from Minister
Taylor in Madrid.
Secretary Olney has insisted from the
first that the men were irregularly tried
and in violation of express treaty stiDu-
lations. He requested a retriai not by
way of favor but as a matter of right
and in answer to inquiries from members
of the Senate committee on foreign rela-
tons he emphatically stated that the ed
miniStratiOn would never submit to the
carrying ont of the sentence of the sum-
mary cOurtmartial.
''It is a matter Of considerable relief
to the authorities here to know that
Spain has found it eXpedient to comply
with the demands of the United States
IL regard to these men. For some time
past it has been considered one of the
most troublesome questions in dispute
between the two countries. 1t is under
poiEtment to CaDt.-Gen. Weyler and
other Spaniards. who were anxious for
the execution of the men as an example
for others engaged in flibustering, but
it is hoped that time has served to allay
the bitter feeling which has existed in
Spanish affairs when the men were cap
tured. 1t was stated then that Gen.
Weyler would resign if the Madrid au-
thorities oYerruled the decision of the
drumhead court martial which he APP
proved"
Havana, Sept. 1.-THE captain-gener-
al of Cuba, Gen. Weyler, authorizes the
correspondent of the Associated press
in this city to deny as entirely false the
statement contained in a Madrid dis
patch circulated by news concern to
the effect that he (Gen. Weyler) had
cabled to Madrid that fifty-one insur-
gents confined in the Cabanas fortress
and Moro castle were shot Yesterday.

FAILURE IN PHILADELPHIA
Coffin, Altemus & Co., Oldest Dry
goods Dealers in the City,
Go Under.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 14-Coffin,
Altemus & Co., the oldest and one of the
largest wholesale dry goods houses in
this city, made an assignment today to
John Lowber Welsh for the benefit of
creditors.
The reasons given by the firm for the
failure are the inability of securing loans
through the ordinary channels, by dis
counting paper and large holdings of I'M
productive real estate No estimate of
the assets or liabilities was given by
the firm and the members of the big
concern refused to say anything about
the failure beyond formal statement
which was sent to friends and creditors
The firm has large and valuable tracts
of real estate on the main line of the
Pennsylvania railroad, which were ac-
CURED previous to the death of Lemue
Coffin bhe founder of the firm. Prin-
cipal among their holdings is the famous
Devon inn at Devon, Pa, one of the
most fashionable summer hostelries to
be found in this section of the country.

NO HELP TO THE MORTGAGED.
Free Silver a Hardship and Not Relief
to Most of Them.

People owning their homes and having
mortgages upon them should not be his
led into thin king that a free silver vic
tory in November would be of assistance
10 them in meeting their mortgag es.
A little examination will show that on
the average it would bring hardship in
stead of relief This would be true
leaving out of consideration all circum-
stances affecting wages and incomes,
and combining the argument simply to a
bare discussion OF the mortgage itself.
The great majority of mortgages, es-
pecially the smaller ones on dwelling
houses, are written for three or five
years, and of this class the greater num-
Der for the lesser period, while many run
for 4 year or two. During the last few
years a great many of these mortgages
have contained a gold clause. 1t is OBJ
yiOuS that no one having such a mort
gage on his house would be helped in
the slightest by free silver. 1t is equal
~ plain that on the contrary, were gold
at a premium, it would be harder than
ever to make payment.
It might also be remembered that
there are always, especially during hard
times, large number of mortgages,
especially on small houses, that are over
due. and are being carried along by the
MORTGAGE.
Bearing these facts in mind it seems
safe to assume that the average life of
mortgages on this class of property in
this city and its suburbs does not ex-
ceed one year.
For free silver to be of advantage to
the mOrtgagOr, money must be more
plentiful and more easily obtained with
in that time than it is today. Is there
any reason to believe it would be?
Even without q special session of Con-
free silver law, such a law could not
reasonably be looked for within that peri
cd. much less an initiation of the CIR
rency, so as to give relief to debtors.
In the mainline, what would be the sit
uation?
The crisis in financial affairs would fol-
low Immediately upon the success of free
silver at the polls. Following the with
drGwal of gold. there would be a sharp
contraction of the money in circulation,
and instead of more money with which
to meet Indebtedness there would be less
Owing to the unsettled condition of af-
fairs, lenders would be more unwilling
than ever to loan, and, as an inevitable
result. payments would have to be de-
faulted.
There is still another point In the
very great majority of cases mortgagors
do not willingly foreclose. They want
their money and interest, rather than
the property. This is especially true of
the savings and cooperative banks. As
a result, they often carry mortgages that

SEA CAPTAINS SUICIDE.
Preferred Shooting Himself to
Death to DroWning-Mat Fol-
lows His Example.

Highland Light, Mass, Sept. 14.-The
Italian bark Monte Tabor, from Ira
PAM for Boston with a cargo Of salt,
was wrecked on Peaked Hill bar at mid
night. To escape death by drowning,
it is presumed, Capt. Generic COM
mitted suicide by shooting, and his ex
ample of self-destruction was followed
by the mate, who cut his throat with a
razor. Three of the crew of ten, all of
whom were swept overheard, were
drowned. The remaining six reached
shore on the vessels deckhouse, which
was the largest portion left from the
vessel short time after she struck.
The sailors who reached land are all
foreigners and they speak very little
English, so that only meager details of
the wreck can be learned from them.
The Monte Tabor left Trapani June
81. She is wooden vessel of 592 tons
gross. She was 153 feet long, 80 feet
beam and 8 feet inches depth of hold.
She was built at Varazze in 1873 and
hailed from Genoa, Italy.
The body of the mate was washed
ashore off Race Point and subsequently
the corpses of two of the seamen were
recovered. One of these latter had a
big cash in the throat similar to that on
the mates body. The wound is not
accounted for.

SECTION 80 CASE.

suit involving very valuable mines of

Emil Hartman, appellant. sued James
II. Warren and others holding this title
to part of the famous section 80, alIeg-
ing that title granted Warren by the Unit
ed States December II 1894, was through
errors of law by the land department of
officials and that such title should have
been given to Hartman. Warrens title,
entered in 1885, was based on his claim
of mixed Indian parentage which enti-
tied him to eighty acres under the pro-
visions of the Indian treaty of September
80, 1854. Hartman applied to the Du-
luth land Office in 1889 to enter this land
with Porterfeld warrants issued under
act of Congress approved April II, 1860.
The application was rejected and Hart
man appealed to the United States land
commissioner, who upheld his subordi-
mates and dismissed the application to
contest.
The secretary of the interior reversed
the decision in so far that he ordered the
loca! land officers to investigate Hart
mans case further. This was done and
the decision was adverse, the secretary
of the interior approving such decision.
Hartman appealed to the courts and the
appellate court today sustained the War

had been offered and the land entered

Constantinople, Sept. ID (Eia Sofia, Bull
garia, Sept 14.-There is little or no
change in the political situation here and
it is believed that the powers will take
action Immediately in the case of Sultan
Abdul Hamid, great deal depending up
on the result of the Cars approac ching
visit to Balmoral.
According to the palace officials, the
audience which Sir Phillip Currie, the
British ambassador, had with the Sui
tan on Friday last resulted in convinc-
ing his majesty that the feeling against
him in Great Britain is much more in
tense that he or his advisers have real
lied and it was intimated to him that
Great Britain, in certain eventualltles,
might be compelled to take action in
dependent of other powers in preventing
further disturbances here. In spite of
this assurance, it is noticeable that there
is a renewal of serious anxiety among
the foreign portion of the population that
another outbreak will occur at a not
far distant date
Guarding Armenian Refugees.
The British vessels carrying Armenian
refugees are guarded by the British war
ship Dryad while in these waters in order
to prevent the arrest of their passengers
by the Turkish authorities. The Dryad's
commander has received explicit instruc-
lions from the British ambassador to re-
sist any interference with the rights of
British vessels on the high seas.
The refusal of the Roumanian author
tiles to permit Aremnian refugees to land
in Roumania has created very bad i'm
preston in European circles and may
lead to serious complications later on.
The joint commission of Europeans
and Turks appointed to inquire into
the recent massacres and their origin
held its preliminary meeting on Satur-
day, but the fact that most of the Ar
menians who could furnish the necessary
evidence to place the blame where it be-
longs have been killed, imprisoned Or
baniShed, leaves the commission little
else to work upon than the Turkish po-
lice officials, whose evidence literally
amounts to nothing at all. But the
work of the commission, happily, has
been fOrestalled by the embassies, where
all the evidence necessary to conclusive
ly prove that the massacres were official

YOUNG MAN ROBBED OF $4,000.
Messenger of a New York Brewery Held
Up at His Home.

New York, Sept. 1O.-Henry Hide
brand 10 years old, who is employed as
confidential messenger by George Ringler
& Co.. brewers, was attacked by two
men shortly after noon yesterday. and
was robbed of S19S9 in cash and $4,000 in
checks. One of the robbers is in custody,
but the other escaped.
Hildebrand, whose principal duty it is
to deposit the money of the firm, received
the money and checks to deposit in the
Germania bank in the Bowery. The
money and checks were placed in two
cigar boxes and these were wrapped in
stout MANILA paper and carefully bound
with strong Irvine. 1t was Hildebrand's
custom to &C home to his dinner daily
before going TO the bank, so, as usual, he
walked from the brewery to his house,
1912 Third avenue. 1t was in the hall
way of this house that he was robbed.
Policeman Sullivan was in the neigh
borhood and heard Hildebrand's call for
help. He arrived in time to arrest the
robber, whom he took to the station.
The man who had got the money escaped.
The prisoner described himself as James
Dalton, an ironworker and resident Of
Buffalo.
