Undergraduates Extend Char

PRINCETON, n. j., Oct. 2S.-A son
was born to the household of Grover
cleveland, the former president of the
United States, at noon today. 1t is said
that the newcomer resembles his pa
rents in point of good health, but neith-
or Mr.. Cleveland nor the three family
nhvsicians will say anything in regard
to the newcomer other than that he is
getting along nicely and is fine boy.
All afternoon Mr.. Cleveland has re-
ceived at his home the many callers
who wished to pay their respects to him
in honor of the occasion. Some have
congratulated the ex-president person
ally, but many preferred to leave their
cards with congratulations and best
wishes for mother and son. A great
many kilograms of congratulation were
received. Among the first to proffer
congratulations by wire were Joseph
Jefferson, E. c.. Benedict, former Secre-
tary Thurber and former Secretary
Carlisle. Princeton undergraduates
have taken great interest in the new
Princetonian. The fact that Cleve-
land heir was born was announced dur
ing the varsity practice this afternoon.
There was large gathering of under
graduates on the field watching the
varsity and scrub teams practice. When

Seniors Sagasta and Moret before they

demands of the Cuban autonomists.
Spain expects, she says, that the we'll
| known American spirit Of justice and
| fair play, together with the friendly
disposition of the Washington govern
ment, will give the new policy the time
required to test it's sincerity and eff
cheney. Spain therefore can fix no date
| for the close of the war, but the United
States can nobly and powerfully assist
Spain, the note continues, and prove the
sincerity of their offer of cooperation
by henceforth causing filibustering ex-
petitions, whose moral and material as
sistance hitherto has contributed more
| than anything else to the development
and maintenance of the rebellion in
Cuba, and has caused the damage of
which the United States complains.
The most carefully worded, the long
est and most elaborate part of the note
is that in which is set forth the Spanish
case against filibustering expeditions.
The Spanish note explains that Spain
only recognized the belligerency of the
Confederate States after several other
European governments had done so,
while she constantly showed marked at
tention to the North, in return
ing Immediately prisoners captured at
sea and landed in Spanish port by a
Confederate war vessel
1t is said that in the diplomatic and
political circles Of Madrid the Spanish
note is considered a very clever move
to gain time. to ward off the action fore
shadowed in the American note and to
secure the sympathy of the European
governments.
The Spanish reply will be laid before
the cabinet at the regular meeting to-
morrow. The administration regards
the note, SO far as its tenor is revealed
| by the abstract cabled by Minister
Woodford, as being conciliatory and as
not calculated to breed an issue.
CARLIsT INTRIGUING
| NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Count Henry
de Penaloza, one of the leaders in Paris
of the Carlist movement, was a passen-

which arrived from Liverpool today
| Count Penaloza is one of the most en-
thusiastic supporters of the pretensions
of Don Carlos to the throne of Spain
While he would. not admit it in words
the count gave decided impression
that his visit here has some connection
with an attempt to be made in Don
Carlos interest. The count said that he
would visit different cities in the United
States for a month and then would &c
to Chile. Being asked whether there
was any immediate prospect of Car
los uprising, he said he did. not think
there would be for several months yet.

p. SEEMINGLY PLEASANT
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-A special to
the Herald from Madrid says: In spite
of all the sensational reports to the con-
trary, the relations between the Span
ish government and the United States
continue to be quite friendly. There
does not appear to be the slightest foun-
dation for the statement that Secretary
Sherman cabled Minister Woodford re-
scinding his previous instructions TO al
low the Sagasta Cabinet more time to
reply to the note.
SPAIN'S REPLY
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-A special to
the World from Madrid says: Here are
the principal features Of Spain's reply
to Americas s note: 1t is understood that
the Spanish government does not in
tend to make either communication pub
lie unless the government at Washing
ton sets the example. The Spanish an
swer begins with a warm profession of
friendly feeling toward the United
States, declaration of a desire to pre-
serve cordial relations between the two
governments and hearty acknowledge
ments of the friendly spirit shown by
the United States in volunteering in the
note of September 23d to assist Spain in
bringing the Cuban war to a speedy end.
1t is remarked in this connection that
if the American government will explain
how it is proper to cooperate in the
pacification of Cuba, the suggestion will
receive due attention in Spain, provided
Spanish rights of sovereignty are re-
spected and Spain's rights to settle do
mestic disputes with her colony when
and how she deems fit, is also recog-
nized.

TROUBLE AHEAD
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: Gen.
Weyler has been ordered by his govern
ment in Madrid to remain in Havana
until Gen. Blanco arrives. This may
mean that Weyler is to be sent home
under arrest for refusing to obey the
order to give command to Gen. Castel-
lanos
That the Spanish government antic-
mates a disturbance is evidenced by the
fact that they have telegraphed to Gen.
Weyler to disband the volunteer forces.
This morning the Captain-General
called to the palace the Colonies OF the
volunteers and read them telegram
from Minister of the Colonies Moret,
stating that the services of the volun-
teers would no longer be required and
that they were to be disbanded After

stating that they would not be RESPONSE

tillo was not killed in open fight; he

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-In reliable
quarters it is stated that the conference
between Russia. Japan and the United
States, now pending here in reference
to sealing in the Bering sea and the
North Pacific, has advanced to an inn
portant stage and that a proposition
has been reduced to writing which, il
accepted, will bring about a complete
change in the sealing question. Tho
proposition is said to be acceptable to
the United States and Russia and Japan
will probably indorse it too.
The greatest secrecy.is observed in
all official circles as to the nature of the
proposition, and it is not officially adj
mitted that any proposition has been
made. From reliable sources it is un-
derstood that the proposition has far
reaching scope and provides for the
material limitation or the entire sus-
pension of pelagic sealing, or sealing on
the high sea. Such decisive step, IL
agreed on by Russia, Japan and the Uni
ted States would, it is understood, not in
volve any concerted move to menace the
the right of pelagic sealing on the high
SEAS but would rather be proposition
expressive of the conclusions of ~
three most interested powers, that in the
interests of humanity and the preserva-
tion of the seal herds of their respective
governments, all nations, including
Great Britain and her colony. Canada,
should unite with Russia, the United
n of
vention of pelagic sealing on the high
seas as will put an end to it and thereby
secure the preservation of the seals.
The last act of the parliament carried
the modus up to December 81 next. 1t is
clearly the desire of the Russian dele
gates to secure the largest possible pro-
lection for her fur seals. and this es-
tablished, throughout the deliberations,
close corporation between the United
States and Russia AS to Japan, it was
so clear that her interests were for fu-
ture restrictions on pelagic sealing. On
the contrary one of the Japanese dele
gates made it clear that Japan had more
interest in catching seals than in pre-
serving them.
The conferees being agreed it only re-
manned to hear from the respective gov
ernments they represented. An adj
journment was taken until next Mon
day, by which time it is not doubted the
governments at st. Petersburg and
Toxic will have taken final action on the
proposition.
Throughout the deliberations there
was no evidence of a desire to make an
issue with Great Britain or to take any
action offensive in character or likely to
abridge her rights. 1t was recognized
by the conferees that as the high seas
We're governed by the well established
rules Of international law, no step
should be taken in limiting pelagic seal
ing on the high seas without endeavor-
ing to secure the cooperation of all
parties concerned, particularly Great
Britain.
