rudeiy awakened late in the night by n
pistol shot and n burning pain in his
foot. His foot panied him very much
during the night, but he thought it was
caused by him having struck it against
the bed post, so did not make an exami.

1T bleeding and very much swollen. A
further examination revealed bullet
securely lodged in his foot just below the
ankle. This recalled the report of the
pistol shot, and an examination of the
room led to the discovery of bullet
hole in the window. The shot came from
the direction Of Woodland Park, and is

At SEA ON 4 COALBARGB
Terrible Danger Of Five Men
on the Stormy Seas Off
Cape Cod.

Captain Pierce, of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Railroad tug San
ford, reported at Hoboken this morning
that the barge Canisteo, laden with LOCO
tons of coal, had been lost off Cape Cod
in a heavy snow storm on Christmas
night.
The Sanford left the D., L. & W. coal
docks at Hoboken on Thursday on Thurs
day last for Boston with the barges
Nayaug and Canisteo in tow. Each was
loaded with 1000 tons of coal. About
twenty miles off Cape Cod, on Christmas
night, in the midst of binding snow
storm, a schooner the name of which is
snapped the hawser connecting the Can
isteo to the tug. The Canisteo being thus
cast adrift in few minutes was out of
sight. The schooner also disappeared.
Captain Pierce stopped the Sanford and
cruised about for several hours in search
of the missing barge, but no trace of her
could be found. The supply of water on
the tug was getting low and Captain
Pierce was obliged to put in to Boston
Light with the Nayaug.
After the Sanford had been stored with
a fresh supply of water and coal, the

where the accident occurred for -four

return to port.

DIPLOMATIC LETTERS.

correspondence With Spain Anent
Cuba Likely To BE Sent to Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 1S97.-The Off
cials here are somewhat surprised at the
exhibition of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note of Minister Woodford delivered
to the Spanish foreign office the day be-
fore Christmas. While the note itself
will not be made at present, it is said
that there is no reason whatever why it
should be withheld save the fact that the
preceding steps in the negotiations have
not yet seen light in the newspapers and
it is desirable when publication is made
to preserve the complete chain of events
in natural order. Possibly the correspon-
dence will be shortly called for by Con-
gress, in which case it is not likely to be
Withheld on the grounds of public policy.
The last note presented by Minister
Woodford was in answer to the Spanish
note called forth by Mr.. Woodford's very
hrSt note after his arrival at Madrid In
the initial note, the U. S. Minister pointed
out the interest of his country in an early
termination of the present struggle in
cuba and asked when such conclusion
could be expected. The Spanish Govern
ment in its reply acknowledged our in
terest in the matter, but suggested, after
stating what it intended to do to anchor
ate conditions in Cuba, that the United
States should exercise its good offices by
To this Mr.. Woodford responded with
his note of last week. 1t is said to be a
purely argumentative statement of the
position taken by the United States and
the facts set out are substantially those
so strongly drawn in the President S
message to Congress, of which it was
supposed the Spanish public had been
fully advised through the newspapers.
The most forcible statement in the note
is based upon the facts collected and
published recently by the United States
Treasury Department, exhibiting the
great expense to which the United
States had been put by reason
of it's effort to patrol an en-
ormous coast line in the pursuit of
few filibusters, and the remarkable sue
cess of the government officials in stop
ping thesae exhibitions, as contrasted
with the feeble efforts of the Spanish
authorities to maintain a patrol around
the Island of Cuba.
All of these facts were included in Mr.
Woodfords note and while he put them
in his own language in presenting them
to the Spanish foreign office, it is said
that the statements concern only events
that have already been touched upon.
