CADIZ SPAIN, Oct. lift Spain
has not put down the instruction in
| Cuba by the first of next March it is
| the intention of the Government to
give up the struggle and let the island
co. The significance of this state
ment coming directly from an official
| of rank in the Spanish army within
this week, certainly will be regarded as
of no little Importance. 1t implies the
admission of the election of Mckinley,
as the informant goes on to say that
| only action adverse to Spain is expect
ed from the new Administration. This
view of the situation outlines clearly
the policy of the Spanish Government
and tends to. show that it is massing
troops in Cuba with the determination
of making one desperate effort to crush
completely the Cuban forces.
My information also implies the adj
mission on the part of the Spanish
Government that if it is unable to de-
feat the rebels during the coming dry
season with the great force at it's COM
mand in Cuba at present, with the Ad
ministration in the United States
continue the contest successfully after
McKinley's inauguration on March 4,
1897.
| cannot give the name of the Span
ish officer or that of my informant, /
am pledged on behalf of the. Herald
not to do so, but can vouch absolutely
for the fact that the statement referred
to comes from the source claimed.
Still further, am creditably inform
ed that the above determination is an
open secret among those who are close
to the Government, and that policy
is being adopted of exaggerating the
magnitude of the trouble in the Phil
lipines, with view to preparing the
people for the ultimate design of let
ting Cuba go.
BY way of further confederation of
this estimate of the situation it may
be remarked that while Spain is send
ing more than 100000 troops to Cuba,
who in the main are very young and
undisciplined, she is carefully keeping
80 900 well disciplined, efficient soldiers
who may be available in case of an
outbreak at home. She is also keeping
in Spanish waters twelve war ships
which are ready for sea, which could
be of great service in Cuban waters in
aiding the United States in police work
which she now calmly asks that coun-
try to do for her.
If my informant here is not mistak-
en-, Spain is not alone watching the
outcome of the election on November
3d. The Cuban leaders, too are wait
ing the turn of events. If Mckinley is
elected, as they believe, they will play
a waiting game and avoid serious con-
fiicts as far as possible until Mckinley
takes his seat in the Presidential chair
on March 4th next. Their ability to
break through the trocha is denied by
we1l-informed Spanish officers, but that
NAV be proved later

lutely certain, but when Watson tele-
graphed message saying that he was
willing TO accept second place on the
ticket with Bryan, the middle of the
road" men. believing the Democratic
managers would support an arrang-
ment IN good faith, withdrew their OPP
position to Bryan.
Watson's letter is principally devot-
ed TO demonstration along the line
that the Populist candidate for Vice
President deserves the support OF all
who favor Bryan's election.
Watson received the following letter
today in the noon mail:
LOS ANGELES, Sept. %, 1S96.-Mr.
Watson: We see by the morning pa
pers that you have received our warn
ing, and we repeat that If you do not
resign the nomination by the 18th OF
October two of us will be selected to
start on your trail and will take the
first opportunity to remove your car
cass from the face of the earth. Our
matchless statesman, Bryan, can win
hands down with you out of the way.
But we have read extracts from some
of your vile speeches in Congress
against him and would rather vote for
Palmer than give such disreputable
men as you are a chance to become
President of our glorious country.
This will be your last warning.
BY order of committee of local Demo-
Gratis. When you get off stay in the
middle of the road and keep away from

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 1.-THE Nor
thern Pacific steamer Tacoma brought
the following Oriental advices The
Osaka City Council has decided to de-
fray from the city funds the cost of
repairs rendered necessary by the ty-
phoons in July and August but the
cost of repairing the ravages by the
recent floods, estimated at 100000 yen,
is to be raised by issuing city bonds to
that amount. Other cities will issue
bonds for the same purpose.
The Emperor and Empress of Japan
have made contributions amounting
to sc, 900 yen to relieve the sufferers by
the recent floods in sight districts.
The dredging of Yokohama harbor,
which has been started, will occupy
four years. The area to be dredged is
one square mile, and it is to be deep
ened to from "a to 30 feet depth at low
water.
There are 1896 houses still submerg-
ed in Toxic, in addition to the flooding
of HOMO, a suburb. Communication
with those parts is being carried on by
boat The neighborhood presents the
appearance of an immense lake, the
height of water being five feet.
Among the passengers by the stea-

PART I.

PART T.
THE SECLUSION OF BERTRAM DYER.
I knew Bertram Dyer when he was living
on two boiled eggs in the morning. and an
occasional Invitation to dinner; but he was
constitutionally incapable Of becoming
either poor In flesh or shabby in dress,
and therefore few of his friends were aware
how meager was the reward Of his literary
1abors. 1t was pleasure, In those days, to
see him eat; and 1 enjoyed 1t as often as
could afford to do so. Now that his fame
is so great, can boast of having fed him;
and, moreover, 1 can advance the claim
that 1t was one Of my dinners which start
ed him on the road to fortune.
On the occasion in question / had asked
Bertram to meet me at a tobacconists on
42d street, near the hotel where We were
to dine. Urged by appetite. he came too
early; and / found him sitting on the ped
estal of wooden Indian in front of the
shop Aroused from deep meditation by
the sound of my voice, he arose and faced
the Image.
''Old fellow" he said, but which of Us he
was addressing I do not know, there's
money in a story about Indians"
And forthwith he wrote one which has
been the talk of three continents, II count
Australia. Though Dyer was under thirty
and had never seen a live Indian, he was
thought, in England, to be a general Of our

unaequainted. but I did not detect any

unacQuainted, but I did not detect any
leading spirit among them.
On the whole regarded Mrs. Dyer as
the best Of the lot, and the easiest to deal
solve the mystery. I resolved to have a
word with her before leaving the house,
and. therefore, I chung to the veranda
more tightly than the vines that encircled
its ancient pillars while Mrs Graves strove
to- lop me of with the cold edge Of in
hospitality.
Mrs. Dyer and "the DOCTOR seemed sur
prfsed that I had shown so much tenacity,
when they at last descended from the west
ern chamber where they had presumably
been busy with the sick man. I ventured
to inquire about my friends health, and
was assured by the young man that IA
Eorable termination of the case might be
looked for I'm few weeks" whereupon
MIS- Graves nodded her head at me as
much as to say: "I'I get rid of you long be-
: fore that, my boy"
Apparent acQuiescence seemed to be my
best course. and made my adieux with so
great semblance Of sincerity that the
hatchet-faced old woman was deceived.
She took 1.-The doctor into the house again.
cstensibly to offer him some refreshment
and thus l was left alone with Mrs. Dyer,
which was what I had wished for. Immedi-
ately 1 began to speak of her husband as
II mad no hope Of ever seeing him alive
again. 1 dilated upon his many amiable
qualities and upon the brilliancy Of his
genius. judging that II she had really been
LED into any plot against him, her affection
Tor him-the sincerity of which had never
doubted-would be stirred to such degree
that she would betray signs of remorse.
10 my great satisfaction, she began to cry
ana thus l knew that, though Bertram's
case might be desperate, there was one at
ieast, OF his prosecutors who had not en-
tered into the plot with her whole heart.
My mouth was open to begin a plea that
sne should trust me as a friend and tell
me all, when Mrs. Graves suddenly ap-
peared In the doorway. The glance which
sne !eveied at me was like one of the
tomahawks that flashed in Bertram's first
great story. and I fed for my life.
Of course, I had not abandoned the ad-
venture. 1t was a retreat in the nature of
1e1nt. designed to raise false hopes in the
neart OF the enemy. No sooner had 1 pass
ed out of Dyer's Farm by the GreenviIle
gate, than I wheeled to the westward, fol-
lowing road that passed close to the base
OF a steep, wooded hill that I had noticed
from the veranda. Its top was less than
nall q mile from the house, and 1 believed
that 1t would afford me an excellent point
OF observation
Concealing my bicycle among the trees,
l climbed the hill. and speedily found
spot from which l could look out upon my
friends abode without danger of being
seen: As l turned my eyes upon 1t, the

and as watched her, she bent down ar d
placed her offering carefully upon the low
mound at her feet. Then she knelt down
for moment. Instinctively 1 bowed my
head and when l raised my eyes again
she was just slipping away into the grove
on the other side of the clearing.
So great was my surprise at this en-
counter that. though it was just what
had wished for, failed to take advantage
Of it. She was gone before 1 could com
mand my voice and call to her.
Yet 1 had learned all that 1 could wish
to Know. A strong wave Of grief passed
over me. So genuine was my sorrow that
I took no note of the strange complica-
tons and contradictions that were in

the early morning ito lay flowers upon the
grave of Eliphalet c. 5Peters. who had
fiourished principally in the preceding CEN
fury? 1t was Uncomfortable. Her conduct
required a rational explanation, and was
susceptible Of it. 1 put on my hat and hur-
ried toward the house.
There seemed to lie no longer any need
of concealment, and so 1 approached the
front door boldly. Mrs. Dyer was on the
veranda with her mother and Grandfather
Graves. They all sprang up at sight of me,
ana 1 thought that the younger woman
was going to run away, but, sustained by
the presence Of the others, she remained.
I babe them all good morning as cour-
teously as could.
'Well?'' cried Mrs. Graves sharply,
"Out with it, What do you know"
