WASHINGTON, Oct. The event Of

the receipt Of the long.expected cable

answer of tie Spanish government to
his representations in the interest Of
peace in Cuba. This message began to
come in installments ut in the morn.

was all in hand at the state department.
1t was not the length of the message
that occupied the wires all of that time,

cabling the whole of the Spanish
answer to his note, had contented him.
self with reducing the matter to brief
outline. The first copy was taken at
once to the president, not being en-.
trusted to messenger, but being de.

portunity had been allowed the presi.
dent to read the message an application
was made for a statement of its con.

Secretary Porter and it was said that
under no circumstances would the cor.

From unofficial information that has
reached cer.ain administration officials
in advance Of this message of Mr..

neither language nor subject matter is
the communication likely to be taken
as offensive by our government. It

Woodford in his note, but officials of
the state department say that in view

government will certainly rest, at least
until congress assemblies, and afford the

SETH LOWS COMMENT.

No Soldier Ever Died For country More
Evidently Than George For His City.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-Mr. Low, can.
didate for mayor Of Greater New York
on the Citizens ticket, regarding Henry
Georges death, said: 1.-The sudden
death of Mr.. George, under the stress
of the campaign, is a great tragedy.
No soldier on the battlefield ever gave
his life for his country more evidently
than Mr.. George has laid down his life
in behalf of the city Of New York.
Pure in motive, high minded. alb
solutely devoted to the services of
his fellow men as he thought they
could best be served, he has fallen
in the thick of the battle against the
tyranny and corruption Of one man
power whi1h controls the political ma.
chine and thus deprives the people at
once. of their rights as free men. and Of
control of the government Of the city in
the public interests.
II wonld like to avail myself of this
opp ,tlunity to express to the family Of
NJ. George my sincere sympathy in
their irreparable loss.
During the campaign Mr.. George re-
peatedly recognised that fundamentally
this is . fight against bossism and all
that this implies in political deg;eda.
ton and corruption. In view Of Mr..
Georges death wish, therefore, to say
to the people Of the city that shall

Speculation Takes the Place Of

Contest.
Not Believed That Henry George,
Jr., Can Hold the Vote Of His
Father.
General Opinion Appears to Give
Van Wyck the Major
Portion.

NEW YORK, Nov. l.-speculation o.
TO who Of the mayoralty candidates will
fall heir to the votes that would have
gone to Henry George had he not died,
!. superseding discussion Of the issues
Of the Greater New York municipal
campaign. Comparatively few regard
1t as likely that the younger George can
poll moro than fraction Of the votes
that would have gone to his father, the
general opinion being that the selection
81 the son to carry the banner let fall
from the fathers dying hands, while
appropriate and touching in the abstract,
is uniting in the praeticabilities Of
politics. So far as the public 10 aware,
young George does not represent in any
essential degree the philosophy Of his
father. For the most part, it is pointed
out. the younger man has been
but 70 worker in the journalistic
ranks, uhdistinguishable by any
mark Of special ability beyond that
which is possessed by thousands Of 9th.
ers and that he has never appeared be-
fore the public as the advocate Of any
distinctive political system or economic
theory. This latter is test which, in
the case Of at least one of the other
nominees, no one has thought Of apply.
ing. In this latter instance. however,
It is fair to concede to Judge Van Wyck
the point that he has been put forward
as the personality representing polit-
ical organization; aud this issue, parti-
san responsibility as against candi-
date representing more or less transi.
tory movement, is one which enters
very largely into the canvass.
There 10 q disposition in both Repub-
lican and Democratic camps to dispute
the claim put forward by Mr.. Low that
George, had he clearly foreseen his
demise, would have advised his follow.
ers to go into the battle on Tuesday
next under the colors of the Citizens
Union. There is also much said
about the alleged improperly in
Mr.. Low putting forth what his OF.
ponents term a bid for the George vote,
while the corpse Of the dead leader was
yet uncofaned. These criticisms are
expected to have much effect with the
enthusiastic adherentts. of Mr.. George,
whose following. it has been argued,
was largely personal. Whatever force
there may be in all this, it is the fact
that in the betting Van Wyck has
gained mere than Low by the newer
conditions. The latest quotations. are
