Washington, oct. 27.--So far as can be
learned from the best sources of infor-
nation the rumors put in circulation on
Wall street to-day as TO the probability
of warlike message from the President
on Cuban affairs and possible extra ses-
sion OF congress have no foundation in
fact, and were set anoat for stock tobbing
purposes only. There have been anticipa-
lions that Spain. falling to negotiate the
loan she is trying to place on the European
market for the further prosecution of the
war in Cuba might seek to provoke some
antagonism short of actual war with the
United States in order to allay excitement
at home, and TO give plausible reason for.
the failure 10 suppress the Cuban rebellion.
This possibility. IL is understood was dis
cussed in a cabinet meeting ten days ago.

opments since, and none are expected

BIsMARcK's SECRET TREATY.
Won Caprivi Rejected Russian Over
lures For Its Renewal.

Vienna, Oct. H.-The Neue Erie Presse,
in an article commenting on the Ham
burger Nachrichtens article. showing
that Prince Bismarck from 1884 to 1890
had, without the knowledge of his part
ners in the dreibund, an en- tente with
Russia which detached that power from
France in the event of the latter attack
ing Germany, and also detached Germany
from Austria in the event of Austria
is now certain that Austria knew nothing
of the usso-German treaty of 1884 until
after Prince Bismarcks fall. After the
retirement of Prince Bismarck Russia de-
sired to prolong the agreement, but Count
Won Caprivi, Prince Bismarcks successor,
informed Count Scouvaloff, who was then
Russian ambassador to Germany, thar
Germany must confine herself strictly to
the dreibund."
Berlin, Oct. N.-The Reichsanzeiger. the
official journal, declares that the govern
ment has no intention to clear up the
so-called revelations of the Hamburger
| Nachrichten, Prince Bismarck's personal
organ, which allege that Germany from
with Russia at variance with the terms
of the dreibund. Germany's sincerity and
fidelity to her treaties, the Reichsanzei-
ger says, lis too firmly established to be
shaken by such revelations"

Mr.. Williams has been Consul Gene
raj In Havana since 1871, and no Ameri-
can on the island Is more familiar than
he with the customs of that people. and
at this time his presence is sorely need
ed there.
The gentleman may have reasons for
his action which to himself are good and
sufficient but 1t appears that at this
time there are higher considerations than
his individual comfort which lie should
not forget, Mr. Williams presence is
more necessary at this time than at any
other during his consulate term, and
the country will be sorry to see him
leave.
