A special cable dispatch from Madrid to
the New York World says:
Senor CASTELAR,, the liberal leader, made
this statement to me today:
president Mcknley's inaugural address
caused me such satisfaction and SO fully
answered my opinion and expectations Of
him that l would fain have wired him,
From the depth of my heart, God bless
you.
Indeed, not only Spain, but the whole
world must applaud and approve such a
frank, sincere and statesmanlike exposition
of the ideal policy for the greatest OF de-
mocracies.
Such noble aspirations for peace and ar
duration, such admirable care for demo-
cratic American interests, coupled with
straightforward assertion of respect for
other nations and the splendid refutatlon
of aggressive and warlike designs!
Il repeat, Mr.. Mckinley has done what
was to be expected from his own and the
better feelings and true instincts of the
great American people. intend to publish
shortly in the Madrid press at length my
opinion on this new departure in American
politics, and the promising prospects of its
influence the relations of the United
States with Spain and the rest of the
world.

BETzLER DISCHARGED.
The Examination I'm the University
Robbery Cnse.

CHAELOTTESVILLE, VA. December
22.-(Speclal STACY Betzler, the medical
student who was charged with cholo-
forming and robbing John NJ. Campbell
caterer for the students mess at the
University Of Virginia. on the 18th in
slant. was this afternoon before Justices
Brown and Terrell. The courthouse was
crowded with students and others, ana
when the prisoner pleaded Not guilty
to the charge there was some applause.
Afterwards the crowd was quiet and at
tentive to everything the low-voiced wit
nesses had to say.
PURELY CIRCUMSTANTIAL.
The evidence was purely circumstantial,
and not very strong. The witnesses told
about the same story as has been pup
lished in the Dispatch, so far as the
methods used in choloroforming are con-
cerned. The only evidence which raised
suspicion against Betzler was that Oh
w. H. Hill, n student who rooms on the
lawn. He had gone to supper at the
mess at 6l5 o'clock, but as II was not
ready he knocked at the doors of seVe-
raj of the students rooms. He found
Mr. Templeman in. and conversed with
him awhile. Templeman then went to
Betzler's room, but it was unoccupied'
Mr. Hill went toward the dining man,
and passed Mr.. Betzler coming from the
back of Carr's Hill
SEEMED EXCITED.
He was in his shirt sleeves, walking
briskly. and seemed excited. a few min
utes later witness saw him at the mess
table. All this occurred a little after .
o'clock. The assault upon Mr.. Campbell
was made about $40 O'Clock, and he was
living i'm his room and unconscious when
witness was at supper from the inhala-
ton of chloroform. The hour OF the
assault was fixed by the fact that MT.
Campbell heard the $40 train pass whhe
he was struggling with his assailant.
Mr.. Haze, a law student. testified that
he and Mr. Betzler left the University
at about $50 o'clock on their way u
the city They arrived at the Nam,
street crossing of the Chesapeake anu
Ohio railway just as the $40 tram passed.
Betzler testified to the same facts' OK
cent that he did not remember seeing the
train. They returned from the city IN
company TO Betzler's room. where they
remained until the supper-bell rang
which was only a few minutes after they
arrived. After brief deliberation the
justices dismissed the case.
