A Spanish Senator Cannot Understand the
 Formers Change of Views.

Formers Change of Views.
 Madrid, Nov. 3.-Senator Salvani has written a letter to the newspapers here in reply to the article on the Cuban question, published in an American magazine, of which MT. Hannis Tay- Tor, the former United States minister to Spain, is the author. The senator says:
 T am astounded at MT. Taylor's ar ticle in an important American re- view"
 Continuing, the senator then proceeds to tell the following story: T met MT. Taylor last April in a street of Madrid and though out of prudence, I asked him nothing; he said: Spain must not suppress the Cuban insurrection by force of arms alone. She must carry out reforms
 He did not mention a word about autonomy, but he added, Peace will then follow immediately I recognized the importance of the declaration, and I hastened to communicate with my friend Canovas 0he former premier), who warmly thanked me in letter which I have retained.
 Shortly afterward the reforms of Canovas began to be talked about, and I was commanded to explain them to MT Taylor and to tell him that they would be published within a. fortnight, as actually occurred. MT. Taylor en- braced me, saying:
 "'You and I will bring about peace in Cuba and thus powerfully contribute to the good of humanity and uphold the great interests of civilization by ending the war, the prototype of crime and return to barbarism.'
 T again hastened to communicate these words in the proper quarter.
 Just prior to these events Mir Fay Tor, at lunch in my house, and in con- pany with Castelar, and others, toasted peace, warmly protesting his admira- tion and love for Spain and expressing the desire to see us succeed in the work of pacification.
 Shortly after the election of Presi- dent Mckinley, when it was predicted that MT. Sherman would be made sec retary of state, I asked MT. Taylor if Spain would not have reason to fear a man who, in a speech In the senate, had displayed such hatred of Spain. Mir, Taylor replied: Don't notice that, for Sherman, as a responsible minister, will change his opinions. Spain has nothing to fear in this respect
 In conclusion, Senator Salvani re- marks: These ideas and sentiments differ greatly from those attributed to him now"

Died Shortly Before Midnight--Visited
 Enjoying the Bost of Health-Head of
 the Franciscan Monastery in Winsted-
 Was GA Years of Age.
 Winsted, Nov. 4-Rev. Father Leo De Saraceno, pastor of St. Joseph's Ro- man Catholic church, and head of the Franciscan monastery in this city, died suddenly at the monastery shortly be- fore midnight last night, aged sixty four years. Apoplexy was the cause.
 Fr. Leo visited Hartford yesterday morning and returned early in the af- ternoon apparently In his usual health. Last night he took supper in the mon- astery as usual, but shortly after ad- journing to the recreation room he complained of not feeling we'll and he asked Rev. Father Ryan to officiate at the special services in the church at which Fr. Leo was intending to take part.
 Shortly before o'clock Joseph Pipe no, an attache of the place, rushed into the church and informed Father Ryan that Father Leo had died. The ser vices were abruptly terminated and when Father Ryan arrived in the room he found Father Leo sitting in his chair in an unconscious condition.
 Drs. E. H. Welch and E. l.. Pratt were summoned, but they were unable to render any assistance and the dis tinguished prelate passed away with out regaining consciousness. The affair created great excitement, and his death will occasion sincere regret, not only among the citizens of Winsted, but throughout the state. The deceased was a most particular friend of the late Judge Fenn, and the death of these two prominent citizens of this place will oc- casion much sorrow.
 Father Leo came to this city in 1S65 Previous to his coming here he was president of the St. Bonaventue, Ale gany N. Y.
 He was a chaplain of the Ninth regi- ment, Connecticut Volunteers, and also spiritual adviser of the State Catholic Temperance union. Bishop Tierney and Rev. Joseph Butler, provincial of the monastery of New York, were notified of his death.

 mits Suicide.

Baltimore, Md, Nov 3-Thomas B. Schall, president of the Schall Packing company, Atlantic wharf, East Pratt, committed suicide by shooting himself in the left temple in his office this af- ternoon. MT. Schall had been affected by melancholia for some time. His health for the past year had been un- usually poor and he suffered much. His pain forced him to activity and he was constantly on the move. At no time, however, had he been heard to even suggest suicide as means of al- leviating his sufferings. This morning he seemed no worse than usual and was at his office early.
 MT Schall was one of the leading pineapple importers of the United States and probably did more to build up that trade with Baltimore than any other man in tine business. He estab- lished canneries at Nassau in the Ba- hama Islands and maintained large fleet of vessels between the Bahamas and Baltimore during the season. He was universally esteemed as business man and promoter of the interests oa the port,

MODERN NOTELISTS.
Second Lecture in theN. H. University Ex-
 tension Center Course for ,97-S.

The second lecture in the New Haven University Extension course was given last evening by Professor William Lyon Phelps, subject, "Bjornson." It was an admirable lecture and delighted the large and appreciative audience present. The lecturer began by speak ing of the Nansen lecture of the night before at the Hyperion and how fitting it was that it should be followed by a lecture on Bjornsou, @ countryman of the explorer and bright light in the literary Armament. The lecturer then briefly sketched Bjornson's early his- tory and his religious surroundings, in- fiuences and tendencies and then spoke of the tone and character of Bjornson's early novels, of their freshness and originality of thought, brilliancy and hopefulness. Later on Bjornson's literary work there came a change. He had studied Herbert Spencer's work and had become an agnostic and ag- nOStlclSm was apparent III ms WrlClHSS and sentiments. The difference be- tween his earlier and later works was in this respect extremely marked. In the earlier period, his literary work was bright, sparkling, vital with life and hope In the latter 1t was far more didactic and reminded one of James Russell Lowelrs remark concerning some famous men who had come to feel that the world rested upon their shoulders for reformation. So with Bjornsons later work; 1t seemed im- bued with far too heavy and weighty sense of moral responsibility. The lec- turer then entered into a comparison of the work of famous ancient writers of prose and poetry with the insipidity and fiatness of most of the literary products of recent days, adding that Bjornson's works were a revelation and far superior to most of the modern times yield. The lecturer while in this view of thought gave sharp criticism of Thomas Hardy "Tess ofthe DUrber- villes," which was open to the charac terization of being a Strong" work largely through its revelling with the unchaste.
 The next lecture in the course will be on "Suderman," November 10.

THE BANDA ROSS.i,
Its Appearance at the Hyperion Pro-
 nounced Artistic Success,

nounced Artistic Success,
 The appearance of the Banda Rossa di San Severo at the Hyperion yester- day afternoon and evening was a mus ical event of particular interest. It is fortunate for New Haven that the diff faculties between leader and manager were settled in time to permit them to play here. The Red Band is one of the crack Italian bands and it participates in official capacity at state and royal functions. Their stay in this country is limited and yet it is hoped that it
 will suffice to accomplish Useful mis- sion in opening the eyes of the Ameri-
 can public to the possibilities of mili- tary bands. At present Sousa and Vic- tor Herbert's organizations represent
 the best we have in that line and the artistic disparity between either of
 these bands and the Banda Rossa is obviously great
 The excellence of the Banda Rossa in ensemble effects seems to be the result of unusual technical skill on the part of the individual players. The vrtuosity displayed in solo passages was truly re- markable, notably in the case of the clarinet, bombardino, and horn players. Such agility and dexterity come only as the result of hard technical training and the promptness, precision and al- | most mechanical accuracy in attack and rythmic effects would only be the re- suit in unusual technical ability on the part of the various chors. The after | noon programme was perhaps better chosen to exhibit the best merits of the band. The Tell" overture and Fanta- sia on airs from Arrigo Boito's Me | phistofele" were the most remarkable performances the band seemed to have to offer. The shading and nuance were extraordinary and the cimateric effects were overwhelming, too much so, in fact, for the size of the auditorium. Such an avalanche of tone is unpleas-
 antly impressive.
 Sorrentino seems a ma aynetic person.
 ality and appears to have his forces
 under perfect control The men made
 a most attractive appearance in their brilliant red jackets and the color
 seemed to be imparted to the music. The concerts were unusual and most enjoyable.

RECEPTION TO LEADER SORENTINO
Given at the Home of His Old Friend, Diego Nicolari, Leader of the Italian Band.

Given at the Home of His Old Friend, Diego
 Nicolari, Leader of the Italian Band.
 One of the pleasant recollections which Eugene Sorentino, the leader of Banda Rossa, will take away with him from the City of Films will be the de- lightful reception rendered him at the home of Diego Nicolari, lader of the Italian band, at TIT Columbus avenue. The reception was given at the close of the concert of the Banda Rossa at the Hyperion.
 A fact which rendered the occasion an especially enjoyable and interesting ing one is that MT. Nicolari and MT. Sorentino were students together at the Conserva tory of Music in Naples thirty years ago.
 MT. Nicolari went to New York to welcome Mir. Sorentino on his arrival in this country three weeks ago.
 The reception was planned by P, G. Nicolari, MT. Nicolari's son.
 Among the well known residents of the city present to meet the famous musician were tn following: Dr. Ger mano, P. L. Baccell, editor of La Stella D Italia Giovanni Lombardi manager of the Italian Puck; MT. Paul Russo. proprietor of La Stella D. Italia. Miss Mary Nicoari, Miss Julia Nicolari and Miss Georgia Allen were the ladies prss- ent.
 Mir Sorentino was escorted back.- to the Hotel Majestic from the reception by MT. Paul Russo.
 Refreshments were served, contrbu- ting much to the enjoyment of the oc- casion. Mir. Sorentino leaves this morn ing at 7:55 for New London, where his band gives a concert.

CONFUSION IN KANSAS.
Returns Not Sufficiently Definite to Esti.
 mate the Result.


 Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 3.-Estimates on Kansas in county and district judge ship elections remain practically the same as last night, both fusionists and republican managers claiming a ajor- ity of the offices. Of the counties heard from eleven are placed in the republi- can and nine in the fusionist column, while two are so close as to make an official ballot necessary to determine the result.
 Shawnee and Wyandotte counties, two of the most important,in the state, elected majority of the republican nominees by 200 to 400 majorities. In some other points districts heretofore republican have been carried by the fusionists, but the results so far re- ceived are not definite enough to make estimate on the general result. In the Atchison district, ex-governor Click, fusionist, has been defeated for state senator by Andrews, rep.

 The two last towns heard from were Peru and Windsor in Berkshire county, which, owing to their being remote from telegraphic facilities, have usually been a day behind. It now appears that William B. Mahoney, dem, has been elected over Dwight Ives, rep, the present incumbent.
 The house remains unchanged, 182 republicans, 51 democrats, six independ- ents and one prohibitionist. The vote for the balance of the state ticket runs very close to that of the governor

HARTARD s4; WESLEYAN o.
The Methodists Were No Match for the
 Sturdy Crimson Players.

Cambride, Mass, Nov. 3.-Harvard made easy work of Wesleyan on Sol- diers' Field to-day, scoring five. touch- downs in the first half of twenty min- utes and two more in the second half of eight minutes. which, with three goals kicked, made the final score S4 to 0. The Crimson was aided by the wind in the first half, when Haughton's bunting so tired out the Methodists that their line went to pieces on Bouve's heavy plunges.
 Only once did Wesleyan make her distance on rushes, and on the defen- sive, her line yielded almost invariably. The Young twins did the best work for the visitors, while for Harvard, Dib- blee and Bouve put up a strong game. The linemen had such an easy time that their playing was hard to judge- Cochrane made poor work at quarter, his judgment being often poor and his passes slow. Haughton punted we'll, but lost his head nearly every time that he ran with the ball.

IEPUBLICAN PLURALITY CUT.
Iowa is Safely Republican, but the PIu-
 rality of Last Year is Decreased.


 Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 3.-The returns by counties are nearly all in. Chair man Milan has figured a plurality for Shaw, rep, of about 31, ,7S2. He thinks that these figures will vary but little from the corrected returns when the estimated counties are reported. The plurality may be set down as above 31,- 900 and below 32,000.
 Chairman Walsh of the democratic committee has given out no figures to- night. He thinks that errors in the returns may reduce the plurality of Shaw to 10000.
 The republican plurality was 65, ,522 according to republican estimates. It is, therefore, just about cut in two. Two years ago it was 59,000.
