Hopes M'Kin1ey Won't TaII< Har-hIy.

LONDON, May 1.-THE correspondent of
the Standard at Madrid. says: Il under
stand that Senior De Lone, the Spanish
minister at Washington. telegraphed to the
governemtn that he still has hopes that
President McKinley's message on the relief
of distressed Americans in Cuba will be
so worded as not to change the cordial re-
lations between the two governments, be-
cause Spain has already stated her readi-
ness to make all concessions compatible
with her dignity and is disposed to allow
the United States to relieve distressed
American citizens now on the island under
the SUPERVISION of the colonial authorities. :"

A TO ENTER JAIL
BROKER CHAPMAN WILL sURREN-
DER HIMSELF THIS AFTERNOON.
Havemeyer and SearIes, Two More
RecaIcitrant Su~gar-Trust Wit
nesses, in Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Elverton r.
Chapman, of New York. the recalcitrant
Sugar Trust investigation witness, arrived
in the city tonight. Tomorrow afternoon
Mr.. Chapman will surrender himself to
Marshal Wilson, of this district, under
whose direction he will be taken to Jail to
serve out his sentence. The actual amount
of time he will be compelled to remain in
Jail will be twenty-five days, as the law
provides for a remission of five days in the
case of good behavior. In an interview Mr..
Chapman expressed himself as follows:
There is nothing more to be said about
the case than has already been made pub
lie. Believing that We were right, we took
the case to the highest court, and now that
we are beaten, l am disposed to accept the
situation in a philosophic way. 1 expect to
serve out the twenty-five days of my sem
tence." Mr.. Chapman added that, so far
as he knew, there had been no special ar
rangements made for furnishing the cell he
is to occupy nor the meals he is to eat.
These matters will be attended to to-mor-
row.
Messrs. Henry o. Havemeyer, the presi-
dent, and j. E. Searles, the secretary, re-
spectively, of the Sugar Trust, also reached
here tonight. The trials of their cases is
set for tomorrow. With them was Mr..
John e. Parsons. Mr.. Havemeyer's attor-
ney. and ex-senator Edmunds. There was
a consultation during the evening of the
attorneys, which included Nathaniel Will
son, the Washington attorney of the trust,
and Judge Dittenhoeiter. The probability
is that an attempt will be made when the
cases are called tomorrow to secure a
p~ostponement for a time, on the ground
that counsel are not ready to proceed. Dis
trict Attorney Davis is anxious, however,
to push the trial, and considerable doubt is
felt whether he will consent TO delay, eX-
cept for a few days. There was a rumor
tonight that Messrs. Havemeyer and
Searles had decided to plead guilty to the
charge of refusing to answer questions pro-
pounded by the Senate committee, but
would raise the issue that the questions
were such as the committee had no right
to ask. 1t was impossible to obtain any in
formation on the subject, however, as the
attorneys in the case decline to discuss the
matter.

TWO VESSELS WRECKED.
Crews and Passengers of Both Saved
with Great D~iNicuItX.

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, May 1.-THE
French brigantine Croisiene, from Bayonne
for st. Pierre, with d valuable general
cargo went ashore yesterday morning near
LaTnaline, Newfoundland A heavy sea was
running and the crew succeeded only with
the greatest difficulty in launching the
boats, which were almost swamped among
the breaker They rowed all day and all
last night, but were unable to find the land.
They had no provisions, so hurried was
their start from the vessel and they suf-
fered greatly from the cold and drenching
sea. About noon to-day they heard the fog
horn at the entrance of the
harbor of st. Pierre and, max
ing their way towards the port, were
picked up by a pilot BOAT. The crew num-
bers -twenty-seven. Most of them are great
ly exhausted from hunger and rowing.
The German steamer Arcadia, loaded
with grain and bound from Montreal for
Liverpool, went ashore this morning near
Cape Ray, on the southern side of the Gulf
of st. Lawrence, in a dense fog. Her pas
sengers, numbering twenty-five, and the
crew of fifty-four, had a desperate expert
ence in trying to reach land. Three men
attempted to swim through the surf with
the life line, but failed. The fourth, how
ever. succeeded and attached the hawser
to the rocks in a favorable position so that
all were safely landed after a hard strug7
gle. Neither passengers nor crew saved
anything. The vessel is likely to become
a total wreck, as she lies on Jagged rocks
with a big hole in her bottom. A steamer
will be sent for the passengers.
One of S%evaII's Ships Missing.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-The Amer
lean ship Dirigo, owned by Arthur Sewall,
of Maine, and commanded by Captain
Goodwin, is thirty-five days overdue on her
voyage around the Horn. 1t sailed from
New York 40 days ago, carrying a crew
of forty men. On Jan. % the Dirigo was
spoken off Cape Horn by the British ship
Howth. Signals were exchanged and the
captain of the Howth determined to beat
the American ship into San Francisco if
possible. Two days later heavy gales
sprang up lasting three days. The How'll
arrived in port on April 10, but nothing has
been heard of the Dirigo, The Dirigo is the
first four-masted steel ship built in the
United States. She is of 1855 tons and was
launched in 1894. There is some anxiety
about the vessel and in Liverpool yester-
day insurance at 20 per cent. was quoted.
1T is possible that the ship changed her
course or that she put into Port Stanley
for repairs.

C~iviI-service Orders to Be Modified.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-H. Clay Evans,
commissioner of pensions, told your CORE
spondent tonight that he had
a modification of the Cleveland order in
Guiding pension boards in the civil-service
where fees amount to more than $500 per
annum, and that he believed the President
would act faVorably on his recommends
ton. The President has under contempia-
ton several changes and notifications in
the orders formulated by his predecessors
and may embody everything in an omnibus
order. How soon executive action will be
taken is purely a matter of speculation.
Considerable confusion has arisen from pre-
mature publication of several changes in
prospect, notably that with regard to PEN
sion boards. They will be made, however,
in good time.

Beet-sugar Seed Distributed.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The beet-sugar
seed which the Agricultural Department
has been distributing is practically ex-
hausted, about 10000 pounds having been
sent out to farmers in about four-ffths of
the States. The seed has been distributed
in packages of from an ounce to half a
pound, purely for experimental purposes.
The beetS grown from the seed will be
analyzed and the saccharine matter deter
mined to ascertain where beets can be prof
ltably grown for the production of sugar.
These experiments, it is believed, will be of
immense value, as the beet undoubtedly
can be produced with profit in many of the

surplus vegetable seed in the possession of
the Agricultural Department is being dis

ment agency, to the people in the flooded
