REPLY TO BISMARCK.

State Secrets Should BE Revealed Only by
Statesmen in Office.
BERLIN, Nov. 3.-The Reichsanzeiger
replies to Prince Bismarck's organ, the
Hamburger Nachrichten, on the latest
phase of the dispute concerning the dis
closures of the Russian German treaty
of l884-90, saying:
''The question of the period of time
required for secret diplomatic occur
rences to lose the character of state Sc
crets, can only be decided by the states
men in office, by virtue of their respon-
sibility and special knowledge of the
political situation Any deviation from
this principle would expose the coun-
try's foreign policy to surprises and
perturbation, and thereby endanger in
terests of state. If Germany gave an
unconditional promise to keep secret
the fact as well as the purport of the
negotiations with Russia before 1890,
the obligation is still binding upon all
cognizant of the matter, and this con-
sideration also precludes the possibility
of discussing the essential NESTS of the
negotiations

A SENSATIONAL REPORT.
The Town of Huelva, Spain, Not Swept by
Tidal Wave.

The Town of Huelva, Spain, Not Swept by
Tidal Wave.
MADRID, Nov 5.-The sensational re-
port circulated in the United States by
a news agency that the town of Huelva
has been swept by a tidal wave from
the Atlantic ocean, and that it is known
that the loss of life has been terrible, is
untrue.
1t is also false that the steamship
Cartagena has been overwhelmed by a
great wave, and that most of the per-
sons on board were drowned
The two sensations were probably
based upon the effects of the cyclone
which swept over Seville on Wednes-
day last which caused a number of fatal
wrecks
The bodies of the drowned are now
coming ashore at Huelva and at Carta-
gena, the Spanish seaport in the Med
iterranean. A sailing vessel has also
foundered and it is feared several per-
sons were drowned
This apparently was the basis upon
which the startling statement of the
Overwhelming" of the steamship Car
tagena and the ''drowning of most of
the persons on board her" were based

MIOWERA AWARD
A Decision by Judge Hanford in
a Somewhat Noted Sal
wage Case.
MiOWera Made a Mistake i'm
Abandoning the Strathnevis
After a First Effort.
Owners and Officers of the Mi
nOla ReWarded---All Parties
Satisfied.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 4.-Judge H.
G. Hanford has handed down his de.
cision in the famous salvage case of the
Canadian Australia steamship line,
owner of the Miowera, and the Pacific
Improvement line, owner of the steam
er Minola, versus the steamship Strath-
nevis, in which he decreed to the former
company $26, 300 and the latter $50, 800
for their efforts in saving the Strath-
nevis, which foundered in the Pacific
ocean several hundred miles off
Cape Flattery in the terrific storm
that prevailed in December, 1895.
The opinion is an exhaustive
one and fully covers the case, giving a
graphic description of the efforts of the
two steamers to tow the Strathnevis to
a place of safety. The court compli-
mented the Minola on her efforts and
in 6ecreeing the $20,5OO remembered
every member of the crew in amounts
varying from $1,000 to Captain Pitts
bury, to $50 TO the cabin boy. The
owners of the vessel get $4,000. In
the case of the Miowera, the court gave
to the owners $4,000 and to every
member of the crew from captain down,
amounts ranging from $500 to $50 1t
will be remembered that the Miowera
while towing her prize to Destruction
island parted the hawser and on the
following morning could not get sight
of the stranded steamer. Instead of
steaming 20 the Atoorah islands and
telegraphing the news that he had
towed the Strathnevis to the spot where
the hawser parted, Captain Scott con-
tinued on the way to China. For this
the court criticized the master, and
stated the salvage woul have been
double the size had he taken these pre-
cautions. In arriving at his decision,
Judge Hanford cites a number of au-
thorities touching on similar cases. The
decision is considered fair one in this
city and gives satisfaction to all parties

A CRAZY NEPHEW.
Hacks to Pieces the Heads OF His
Uncle and Aunt I'm New York.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Driven to frenzy
by brooding over wrongs he thought were
perpetrated on him, Patrick Mcmahon, son
of a rich ex-carpenter, committed horrible
act to-day. After much elaboration he
hacked the heads of his uncle and aunt
with an AK. He tried to justify his deed
by charging that they poisoned his mother
and separated him from his father. Nc
Mahon was committed without bail in
Yorkville Court by Magistrate Simms on
charge of felonious assault. Mrs. Sexton
was found unconscious on a pile of bedding
and she died this afternoon. The uncle
was able to identify the prisoner as his
too keenly from his injuries to go into de-
tails.
1t Is believed that Mcmahon is insane
The neighbors say that his talk of the
poisoning OF his mother who died two
years ago, by his aunt and uncle were only
the rawlings of a diseased brain.
