Great ERset on spanish PolitlcA
WAsnINsToN, Aug. secretary of
State sherman expressed deep inter-
est in the details He said This
deplorable event will have some eff
feet, of course, on the political affairs
of Spain, but to what extent cannot
say. The death of one man is not nee
essarily going to change the sentiment
of the whole country. Spain is very
tenacious country. Her money is gone
Her resources have been exhausted.
But she means, evidently, to hold on
to Cuba Just how she can do it, un
der these circumstances, cannot see.
Yet, she is opposed to yielding a
point. Premier CanoVas was a strong
partisan. He was the chief exponent
of the element which was determined
TO keep the island at all hazards.
Seemingly Spain is almost a unit on
this CanoVas was strong factor in
the movement of Spain, but it is not
impossible that another will be found
to replace him in that important Office,
having similar views and the same
pronounced IDEAS How it may be in
this case | am unable to say, but the
effects, politically, of such an event
are not essentially far reaching and
have not always produced radical de-
velopments. As to the consequences
of the conflict in Cuba l do not care to
talk. have no official information of
the assassination and must refrain
from venturing guesses as to what it
may effect in the future.
Asked as TO how long he now thought
the Cuban instruction might last, he
replied that that was problematical,
and he did not care to discuss it. lie
added he had heard various names of
prominent leaders in Spain mentioned
but he was not well informed as to
them, and there was nothing on which
he could base prediction as to Cano-
vas proha lie successor.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, mem
Der of the foreign affairs committee of
the Senate and the champion of Cuba
in that body, predicted in an inter-
view that the assassination might be
the forerunner of complete change
Of government, a republic replacing
The monarchy.
This, he thought, was the present
and yesterdays event he re-
yarded as an evidence of the disinte-
grafton of the Spanish government.
He aG Ted:
IL believe the Cuban conflict will be
ended at the close of the present rainy
season. This have frequently con-
tended and am now confident of it.
The termination of the affair would
thus be brought about in October"

william b. Feltz did not make his
jump from Pixies Peak yesterday, but
that was not his fault With the con-

beena blindfolded leap to certain des-
truction.
Feltz went up to the summit of the
peake Yesterday morning carrying his
immense aeroplanes with him. Two
hours were required in adjusting the
big wings, but heavy clouds gathered
and slight snow falling at the time
convinced him that a leap from the
peak would have been suicidal.
The leap was postponed, but Feltz
is still on the peak, and it is said he
will stay there until the conditions
are favorable, when he will sail down
into Colorado Springs, twelve miles
distant.
Great crowds went up the peak to
witness the leap of the daring aero
naut, and field glasses and telescopes
were in great demand. The crowds
were greatly disappointed on account
of the postponement.

PITrsBURa, Pa, Aug o. -Although
yesterday was considered a day OF
rest among the strikers, probably the
most effective work among the Plum
Creek miners was performed, and as a
result the strikers have been assured
that considerably less than 200 men
will be at work to-day at the mine.
A large mass meeting was held at
Camp Isolation, at Plum Creek, which,
in addition to about 1000 others, was
attended by about 200 women, tho
wives and daughters of the miners
who are still at work in the Plum
Creek mine.
Because Of the many restrictions put
on the strikers, they have hitherto
been unable to get a chance to argue
their cause with the Plum creek work.
men, and the occasion given them was
taken advantage of to the fullest ex-
tent The unusual opportunity was
the result of the missionary work of
the wives of the strikers from McDon-
aid, Finleyville and Carnegie. These
women have been working assiduously
during the past week, and secured the
promise of the wives of the working
miners to attend the meeting and
bring their husbands
The result of the meeting was the
assurance from nearly hundred men
that they would join the strikers to-
day The plan is for the men to work
until they receive their twenty days
pay, which will be given them to- day,
end then they are to desert the pit,
leaving only eight days wages back,
which, Judging by the action of the
company in the case of the Sandy
Creek strikers, will be refused them.
If this plan does not miscarry, the
strikers think it will be only ques.
ton of very short time until the De-
Armit mines are tied up completely.
The meeting to-day was inaugurated
by religious services conducted by
Rev. Lincoln Lash, assisted by choir
of twenty colored jubilee singers,
after which Mrs. Mary Jones, the
Chicago agitator, spoke for about an
hour, putting the case very plainly to
the women auditors. She placed the
responsibility for the success or failure
of the strike on the wives and made q
decidedly favorable impression.
