MADRID, SPAIN, Oct. 18.-The impartial
says that Spain should demand from the
United States an explanation OF the dis
patch from Washington published by the
New York Herald to the effect that unless
Spain ends the war in Cuba before jan
uary / President Cleveland will recognize
the independence of the insurgents.
The impartial adds that the neutrality
observed at the ports of the United States
is an odious fiction, and lat there is q
continual conniving at flibusteTing. 1t
says the United States Consul General at
Havana protected Spanish deserter at
Havana, and concludes:
"If Spain should remain alone in a con-
fiict with the United States Spaniards by
their own efforts will know how to mark
the difference between the noble defenders
of their own pl loperty and the vile traffick-
ers at Washington"

while Captain General Weyler's attention
is centered in Maceo's movements in the
west, Gomez's advance columns under
Mayia Rodriguez, Ra bi, Quintin Bandera
and Pancho Carrlllo, are laug ching at the
central trocha, have swept across Santa
Clara Province without meeting serious
opposition, and invaded Matanzas with
from 5000 to 1000 fresh recruits from the
ORIENT.
Rodriguez is now encamped north of
Alfonso XII. near the line of Havana
province. Aguirre is reported to be
marching with a strong force from Janice

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. Oct. 1s.-
Prince Michael Hilkoff, Imperial Minister
of Ways aud Commerce of Russia accom-
panied by his suite, arrived here at Z
O'clock tonight on special train over the
New York Central from New York, and
after an inspection of the Niagara Power

then go to Buffalo and later to Depew,
where the New York Central shops will

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Oct. 19-Horace
Rublee, editor-in-chief of the Milwaukee
Sentinel, died this (Monday) morning at
his home at 2:40 O'Clock after a long and
painful illness. Horace Rublee was born
in Berkshire, Franklin County, VI,
August 49, 1929. His family moved to
Wisconsin, then Territory, in 1910, and
settled at Sheboygan. Mr.. Rublee first
engaged in journalism in 1852 and 1853 as
a reporter of legislative proceedings for

ROBBERS RAID CARNEY
Daring Desperadoes Swoop Down
Upon a Town in
Ok ahoma.
I" Dynamite Dick and His Crowd
Comm Bold Outrage and Gather
In Some Cash.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Oct. 18-Two posses
of United States Marshals are in hot pur-
suit of the bold desperadoes who held up
the little town of Carney, thirty miles east
of here, last night. Two men supposed to
be members of the gang stopped at a
farmhouse this morning and demanded
food.
Their horses looked as though they had
been ridden long way. Several deputies
Immediately pursued them.
The story OF the hold up at Carney reads
like the robberies of the early DAYS in
Oklahoma. 1t was 10 o'clock when the
town was attacked by the six bandits, all
heavily armed, masked and well mounted.
The robbers entered with q urish of
arms and oaths, and at once attacked the
fstore of ]. E. Foutz, the largest merchant
in the city. Before entering the town the
bandits cut the telephone wires between
Carney and Chandler, in order to prevent
interference with their apparently pre-
arranged plans.
Carney Is town of 300 people. Only
Foutz and his son were In the store when
tie robbers rushed in and drew their guns
on them.
Foutz to open his safe. He quickly COM
piled and handed over $500 in cash to the
bandits. Two of the robbers then bound
and gagged Foutz and his son and carried
them two miles out OF town. Meanwhile
the other robbers attacked the hotel and
Postoffice, but got nothing in the latter
place. In the hotel three drummers and
two citizens were robbed in all of $500 in
money, watches and jewelry.
At the United States Marshaps Office
the opinion prevails that the gang is
headed by Dynamite Dick" pal of the
late Dalton anu Dooin. He was SAID to
be in Missouri near Sedaia last week. The
robbers had their plans well laid, which
accounts for their liberty thus far.

The tower is 1s0 feet high and the

there were no people passing in or out.
At few minutes after o. clock the SER

the church that the tower was falling
The first crash was followed by second

big weight had fallen through the three
floors and into the entry.
1t had happened so quickly that the
congregation could barely gasp for breath
after the first floor gave way under the
weight, when it was over, and the.people
began to pour in disorder from the church.
Women screamed and men turned pale
with fright.
The priests, realizing the danger, called
on the people to preserve order and to
leave the church quietly. They were soon
assured by those near the door that danger
was past. They quieted down ard the
