A POLICY OF DELAY.

Orna Milton is still in Spanish
prison, and is being treated with every
barbarity He was captured unarmed,
and was not a combatant, but merely
newspaper correspondent. The Govern
ment of the United States interfered to
prevent his summary execution, and Sc
cured for him the right of trial by the
civil courts, but months have elapsed,
and Milton is still in prison. There has
been plenty of time for full investiga-
ton Of the case, and yet nothing has been
done Spain seems determined to pun
ish Milton by imprisonment, whether he
is guilty or innocent. A few weeks ago
the State Department manifested an in
tention of taking up this case with
view of securing it's speedy settlement,
but there the matter rests. 1t seems that
nothing has been done.
And the State Department u few weeks
ago showed disposition to take up the
case of Gown, who was hacked to pieces
by detachment of Spanish soldiers. 1t
was stated that this matter would be
promptly Investigated, but it also seems
to have ended in talk.
OF course the State Department is not
expected to unhosom itself to the public
every time it communicates with or re-
ceives communication from the Spanish
government, but certainly it should not
be inactive. Nothing seems to be pass
ing on the subject. If there are any nego-
titions the people do not know it. 1t
looks very much as if the outrages will
go UNPUBLISHED and without apology.
At one time the present administration
showed great vigor in it's foreign .rela-
tions. That time seems to have passed,
and the old policy of submitting to. all
insults and all outrages seems to be the
rule now. Such n policy is not in keep
ing with justice, or with the temper of
the American people. 1t is calculated
to bring contempt on our nation, and it
invites outrages on Americans in foreign
lands.
If the Government is acting at all in
regard to the imprisonment of Milton and
the murder of Gown, it is acting too
slowly. All the facts bearing on the case
could long ago have been brought to
light, and if the Government had acted
with proper vigor atonement would
already have been made, as far as atone
ment is possible. Florida Times Union.

ly not the wish OF any one that Watson
should withdraw at this stage Of the cam

Still, the little Georgian is, they think,
very uncertain, and there is no knowing
what he may do in moment of pique.
He has already said something about Mr..
Sewall not calculated to make the gentle
man from Maine feel very amiable to-
wards him, and in his moments OF irrita-

would have been much better left unsaid-
On the whole, for man who has reached

WILL WATSON WITHDRAW?

The Presidential campaign has now
progressed to that stage that so far as the
success of Mr.. Bryan is concerned the
withdrawal of neither Watson nor
Sewall is necessary. This, at least, is the
view expressed by his friends at Wash
ington. They say that earlier in the cam
paign the withdrawal of both of them
would have been received with ioy: but
they now regard it as too late to make
any move for the adjustment of the Vice
Presidential candidacy
The Democrats and Populists have per-
fected fusion in all the States where thew
confess that fusion is desirable, except in
West Virginia, and that has been practi-

A RAGING FURNACE.
The Coal Mines of Spring Hills Burn.
ing, Cutting OF the source of Live
lihOOd Of Many Families.

Halifax, N. s., Dec. 26. - About S
O'Clock Tuesday evening the coal mines
of Spring Hills were discovered on fire.
The fire originated in the pipe-way of
the east slope at the 8O0-foot level. 1t
soon ate into the 1,3OO-foot level and de-
veloped into raging furnace.
When Government Inspector Gilpin ar
rived the Ere was issuing from every
opening in the mine.
Two cupolas were burned down and
the bank had been torn away. The
miners worked hard to save their source
of livelihood. They tried to prevent air
from going into the mine by stopping up
every air way. Gilpin had to call the
| men from this work as it was attended
with great risk should an explosion oc-
cur.
Flames shot 100 feet into the air, the
reflection being visible at Amherst. The
loss of the east slope is believed to be
complete. At p. m. Friday the west
slope was regarded all right but the men
will have hard work to save it. Five
years ago 100 lives were lost by an ex-
plosion in these mines.
It is likely that the most serious dam
age will be confined to the east slope, in
which the fire started. The fire seems to
be burning itself out.
The loss will be enormous. The fire
will cause great destitution among the
| miners as, even if the fire does not spread
| through the entire mine, it is considered
doubtful if work can be resumed during
the winter.

NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Doubt of the Authenticity of the Sig.
natures Of National Bank of llli-
nOis' Letters to Comptroller
Eckels.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The committee
of directors of the collapsed National
Bank of Illinois, Chicago, called on
Comptroller Eckels to-day for personal
conference regarding the banks affairs.
! The directors thought a better under
standing of their own position by the
com ptroller would be obtained by per-
sonal interview than by correspondence.
They also desired to see the originals of
certain letters which passed between the
mptroller and the directors, some ques-
tion Of the authenticity of the signatures
having arisen.
Comptroller Eckels told the directors
that he was confident the management of
the bank had been very negligent. The
directors explained that the bank di-
rectors, since the receipt of the Eckles
letter, repeatedly had tried to close ne
gotiatious for the sale of the Calumet
Electric railway with view of realizing
upon it, but the business conditions of
the country, the long political campaign
and trouble with the Diamond Match 90.
had caused the failure of these negotia-
tions. Eckles impressed upon them that
he would expect them to make every
possible effort to realize from the Calu-
met road at the best figure possible.
The delegation said the directors had
hoped the affairs of the bank would be
completely settled within year and every
obligation be met and assets probably be
sufficient to leave the real estate clear.

Christmas Eve Killing.

Trinidad, Colo, Dec. 25.-About II
O'Clock last night Manuel Gallegos shot
and killed Mexican woman at Sopris.
Deputy Sheriff Lynch, of Hastings, who
happened to be at the camp, caught the
murderer just as he was leaving town.
Gallegos had formerly lived with the
woman aud yesterday came down from
the Apishapa and commenced drinking.
During the day he had quarrel with the
woman, and later was heard making in
quiries as to her whereabouts. 1t seems
she had endeavored to keep out of the
mans way, probably expecting him to
make trouble Gallegos appeared at a
dance last evening, but shortly before l
left and went to this woman's house. He
was still drinking and it is thought he re-
newed his proposition to the woman to
live with him, and upon her refusal be-
came enraged and deliberately placed his
pistol to the woman's head and blew her
brains out.
GallAgos has heretofore borne a good
reputation and his rash act is surprise
to his friends, who attribute the deed to

Cerrillos, Dec. 26.-Edward Langston
brakeman on the Waldo branch, brother
of Conductor Jack Langston, was shot
and killed this morning about O'Clock
at the bridge crossing the Galesteo river,
by Mexican named Felix Salinas, a
Madrid miner. Harry Lang, also rail
road employe, was with Langston at the
time, and received flesh wound in the
left shoulder.
Langston had been drinking some. and
became involved in row with party oi
five Mexicans, three men and two women
The evidence goes to show that the first
shot was fired by Salinas, woundlng Lang
who appeared to be acting as peace
maker. LangsLon fred one shot without
effect, and Salinas empted his pistol, one
ball striking Langston above the right
eye, killing him instantly.
The whole party gave themselves up
this morning, but only Salinas was held
and he will be taken to Santa Fe this
afternoon to await the action of the dis
trict court.
