RUMORS AFLOAT THAT MAKE SUCH
AN OUTCOME SEEM POS
SIBI4IE.
CONSUL WILLIAMS IN SPAIN.
HE is SAID TO BE ON A SECRET
MISSION FOR THE UNITED
STATES.
NEGOTIATING
Or Friendly Settlement of the Dif-
ferences Existing With the
SpaTiiards.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The Morning
Advertiser will say tomorrow: 1t was
reported in this city yesterday that the
ex-consul general to Havana, Ramon
o. Williams, might be expected here
from Europe in about ten days. AL
though the fact Of Mr. Williams pres
ence in Spain escaped the vigilance Of
the newspaper correspondents in the
Spanish capital, it is nevertheless true
that he has been in Madrid for three
weeks past and in the immediate circle
Of his family. 1t was announced that
he was to leave for New York by one of
the North German liners on Saturday
last.
reasons, be definitely learned, it is gen
orally believed by his personal friends
that Mr.. Villains visit to Madrid has
been made as an agent Of the United
States, with the view of making some
arrangements by which a peaceable So
luton Of the Cuban question might be
brought about.
1t will be remembered that on re-
turning from Havana, Mr.. Williams
spent some time in Washington, where
he had several lengthy interviews
with President Cleveland and Sec
retary Olney. He then left for Eu-
rope, sailing on September 8, it being
generally supposed that his trip was
taken for rest, and in the interest of
his health. He first visited England,
and then crossed over to France, and,
as it now transpires,- proceeded thence
to Madrid, where he has been for a
little over three weeks. Members of
his family seen yesterday at his resi-
dence in Brooklyn asserted that they
knew of no other reason for Mr. Will
liams' visit to Europe than to improve
his health, which had been injuriously
affected by his residence in Cuba.
Some close personal friends Of the
ex-consul general, however, made no
secret Of their belief that his mission
to Spain was to sound the Spanish
government, and, in conjunction with
Minister Taylor, to enGeavor to pro-
cure a friendly settlement of the diff
culties with Cuba.
1t was even stated that Mr.. Williams
was authorized to favor negotiations
by which the purchase Of the island by
the Cubans might be arranged on the
understanding that the United States
would guarantee the payments to the
mother country. 1t will be recalled
that this was substantially the basis
of arrangement proposed by Gen.
Grant at the time of Spain's last war
with her colony

NEW ORBIT FOR STARS.
Big Theatrical Syndicate, Embrace
ing Houses From Coast to Coast

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The details Of the
formation of a gigantic vaudeville syn
dicate were made public tonight. Rob-
ert Blei, manager of the Schiller the
ater in this city, who has just returned
from the East, where he has been en-
gagged in the formation of the syndicate,
said tonight: while in the East I ac-
compilshed some most important re-
suits. At Pittsburg I met and drew up
articles of agreement with Mr.. Davis,
who operates number Of theaters in
and about that city, for a syndicate to
control and operate vaudeville houses
in the cities of Baltimore, st. Louis
and one other large city which 1 am
not yet at liberty to make public. A
new amusement company was formed,
and site for a theater in ST. Louis
was secured which will cost not less
than $150,000. The theater in Baltimore
is already built, and will be announced
as soon as certain papers are returned
signed. l have a similar understand
ing to pool interests in Gustav Walters
tbeaters at San Francisco and Los
cerned. With the affiliations we already
have with the Keith houses in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston, Pitts
burg, Baltimore, st. Louis, Chica go,
San Francisco and Los Angeles will
give us a circuit that will enable US
either to bring our own attractions di-
rect from Europe or compel New York
managers to book their stars with us.
I he syndicate has secured the best
available talent at liberty in New York
for the entire circuit, and has engaged
the services Of European agents in
London, Paris and Berlin to look out
for novelties. The offices of the syndi-
cate are already established at the
Knickerbocker theater building, New

Their Disturbing Agitation.


Their Disturbing Agitation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.1The cam
paign for the free coinage Of silver will
four years, in preparation for the cleo
tion in 1900. The directors of the
American Bimetallic Union, who con-
stitute the bulk of the silver leaders
in three parties, have decided to main
tain headquarters in this city, from
which to send out literature. The
branch office at Chicago will be con-
solidated with the Washington office,
but the San Francisco branch is to be
continued. AT the request of the dt-
rectors, Gen. A. J. Warner, the prcsi-
dent Of the union, has issued the fol-
lowing address to the silver leagues
and bimetallic unions of the United
States:
Silver has lost in this election, but the
battle for the overthrow of the gold stand
ard has not ended. The disastrous conse-
Quences that must attend upon the contln-
uance of this standard make it impossible to
relinquish the struggle against it until it is
finally overthrown.
The gold standard cannot be maintained
by increasing revenues, because revenues are
the gold standard by perpetual loans must
also sooner or later fail The only other
way is by contracting the currency and fore
ing down prices so low that gold will come
stitute, in part at least. the currency with
which revenues -are paid, and no debtor nation
can long maintain such policy. Either
course, therefore, leads to inevitable ruin; /;
the one by bankrupting the government and
the other by bankrupting the people.
Either policy will subject the United States
absolutely to. British domination, and hence
the rejoicing Of the British press over the
defeat of silver here.
The victory for gold is a victory for trusts
and syndicated wealth, brought about by cor
ruption and coercion and not a victory Of
the people or for the people, and it cannot
last. There must be an end also to the con-
slant appreciation of money. The apprecia-
ton of money alone, if allowed to go on at
the rate it has gone on for the past twenty
years, will, in half a generation more, trans
fer the bulk of all the wealth Of this country
from those who have created it to the hands
of the few who control the money and own the
debts. No power can be conceived so potent
to gather wealth into few hands as the cease
less, all-pervading power of an appreciating
money standard. No civilization can stand
against it. 1t must end or the foundations
upon which free institutions rest will be
broken up.
The battle, therefore, for the restoration of
silver must go on without abatement, and
urge upon all silver and bimetallc leagues
and unions to keep up their organizations
and to continue the fight till victory for the
people is finally won
The noble fight made by our intrepid leader
in the campaign just ended endears him
to US all who believe in the righteousness of
our cause, and under his leadership we be-
heVe victory will be won in 1900

ONLY ONE OF A CREW OF SEVEN
SURVIVES FROM THE WAU-
KESHA.
BRAVE BATTLE FOR LIFE.
FUTILE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE THE
HARBOR AT MUSHROOM SEEN
FROM SHORE,
Wreckage Soon After Told the Tale
of Disaster-Five Dead Bodies
Recovered.

MUSKEGON, Nov S.-The schooner
Waukesha broke up while trying to
ride out the gale at anchor near here
last night, and only one survivor of
her crew Of seven has been rescued.
He is still too weak to talk
The vessel had a load Of salt and
supplies. which was taken on at Man
istee Saturday morning. At 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon she was sighted
running with the gale under a torn
ma1nsail. An attempt was made to
enter Muskegon harbor, but the
schooner drifted a mile south Of the
pier and then anchor was dropped.
She was riding three-quarters of a mile
from shore at dark. The engineer and
fireman of the city pumping station
watched the lights until o'clock last
night, then they disappeared Shortly
afterwards wreckage began coming
in, and today nothing can be seen of
the lost boat above the water where
she anchored.
All night long the wreckage contin-
ued to come up on the beach and
five bodies have been recovered The
surviving sailor was washed ashore
unconscious, and nothing can be
learned from him.
The Waukesha is one Of the old fleet
Of ''Canalers,' and true to all tradi-
ton, she has taken almost her entire
crew down with her in her last dis
aster. She was owned by F. H Head,
Of Chicago, and was formerly known
as the Nabob. She was built in Mani
towoc in 1884 and rated 295 tons She
had valuation Of C6a ho1
been engaged in the salt trade be-
tween Ludington and Manistee and
Chicago for Joy, Morton & Co. all the
season.
CREW WAS DRUNK.
This evening Frank Delach, the only
survivor of the wreck, made affidavit
to the effect that there were seven
men aboard the Waukesha, Capt. Dun
can Corbett, the mate, four seamen and
colored cook. When they arrived off
Muskegon Delaeh said the captain,
mate and some Of the sailors were very
drunk. They signaled for a tug, but
showed no distress signals, and no tug
under these circumstances started out
IN the heavy sea. The captain an
chored mile south of Muskegon har-
bor. The, craft began leaking badly,
but the captain refused to light the
torch to make known their condition
to the life-saving crew. The crew
donned life preservers, their yawl boat
having been washed away. They let
go the large anchor cable and the
schooner drlfted towards shore some
what with the small anchor dragging
gradually, all hands taking to the for
ward rigging.
The craft, however, began sinking
rapidly and sudden lurch threw some
OF the men from the foremast. AS
part of them clung to the rigging, the
main topmast broke off and fell upon
them, striking some Of them and sweep
ing all into the lake. Delach said he
contrived to get together a raft from
the wreckage, to which five of the men
hung for a time. They dragged the
captain with them. but he was too
helplessly drunk to hold on and they
had to drop him. Delach and one other
sailor stood it till o'clock in the morn
ing, but finally the other man gave
up and sank and Delach was shortly
afterward taken off by the life saving
crew
