TAYLoR's LIPS SEALED.

Ex-NIinister to Spain Refuses to Discuss
the Situation.
LONDON, Sept. 22.-Hannis Taylor, the
former United States minister to Spain.
has arrived here. In an interview, Mr.
Taylor said:
'.The grave negotiations pending be-
tween the United States and Spain as
to the war in Cuba are now entirely in
the hands of General Woodford, who
has had fruitful experience, both in
peace and war, and will be equal to the
occasion, whatever it may be-"
Mr.. Taylor was questioned in regard
to the accuracy of the statements con-
tanned in the dispatch from San Sebas-
tian to The Temps of Paris, purporting
to give the substance of the interview
which took place on Sunday last be-
tween General Stewart L. Woodford,
the United States minister to Spain,
and the Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish
minister for foreign affairs, when Gen.
eral Woodford is said to have insisted
courteously but firmly upon the neces-
sity of terminating the war in Cuba,
and to have declared that it it is not
terminated by the end of October, the
United States will feel justified in TAX
ing measures to secure the Independence
of Cuba. In reply, the former minister
said:
"My lips are sealed until after my ar
rival at Washington.
While Mr.. Taylor refused to discuss
this matter, his manner tended to con-
firm the story told by the correspondent
of the Paris Temps.
Regarding the general feeling in
Spain, Mr.. Taylor remarked:
81 must in justice say that l have
never received any personal discourtesy
from any one; but for the past year my
residence was guarded by soldiers.

How He Became a cxnic.

Some lovable traits of character in
Prosper Merimee, the famous French
novelist, who has left to posterity the
reputation Of misanthrope and acynic,
are revealed in the pages of Augustus
Filon's "Merimee and His Friends. -
M Filon tells us how this celebrated
author devoted 100 louis of his salary
as senator toward pensioning an old
project Of Louis Philippe who had been
ruined by the revolution of 1S48, and
how for 20 years he assisted and pro-
tected humble sculptor in whom he
had become Interested
M. Filon relates an incident of Meri-
mee's childhood that shows how sus-
ceptible his nature was to strong i'm
pressions, and how responsible older
people, and particularly parents, are
for the development of certain traits in
children.
When the future novelist was years
of age, he was once punished by his
mother for some naughtiness of which
he was guilty. Mme Merimee, who
was an artist, and who was at the time
engaged at her easel, put the culprit
out Of the room and closed the door
upon him.
The little Prosper, already penitent,
anxiously besought forgiveness through
the closed door, expressing great con-
triton and promising good behavior,
but the door remained inexorably shut.
Finally, after much effort, he opened it
and dragged himself upon his knees to-
ward his mother. His niteous supplica-
tions and his pathetic attitude SO
amused Nine. Merimee that.she began
to laugh.
Instantly rising from his lowly pos
ture he exclaimed Indignantly, "Since
you mock me will never ask pardon
again. " He kept his word. Thus was
sown the seed Of certain cynical phil
osophy that tainted bis after life.

GREEKS VERY INDIGNANT.
Believed the Chamber Will Refuse to Ac-

Believed the Chamber Will Refuse to Ac-
cept the Treaty of Peace.
LONDON, Sept. 22.-The correspondent
of The Daily News at Athens says:
''The public feeling over the peace
terms has changed from stupefaction to
active Indignation. Here and in the
provinces mass meetings are being ar
ranged to protest, and there is reason to
believe that the chamber-will refuse to
accept the treaty. M. Delyannis even
declares the question so grave that only
the national assembly is competent to
swear away the sovereign rights of
the state The king also is said
to be very bitter over the terms.
The people object not to foreign
control, but to control by tankers and
bondholders committees, whose terms
must be accepted ere Thessaly will be
evacuated.

Report of Special Master Atkinson.
How tho Assets DwIndled.

Report OF Special Master Atkinson
How the Assets Dwlndled.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. 3d.
Special Master Howard Atkinson has
filed his report with the clerk Of the
United States court in the case of Al
fred G. sturgiss VS.. Henry s, White.
The report is an extensive one and
shows that while the receiver received,
as assets, over $4,000, there is only
about SSSS6544 of the estate left for the
creditors. Mr.. White. who was United
States marshal under the Harrison ad-
minlstratlon, put a great amount OF
money ito expensive timber property
in M!ngo and Logan counties The
prostration of the lumber business that
was brought about by the Wilson bill
together with the hard times that fol-
lowed the last Democratic administra-
tlon. forced him into the hands Of re-
celver.
The report shows that probably the
estate would have paid the creditors In
full had not over $4,000 of the assets, in
thcshape OF a box shook factory and Two
planning mills, been destroyed by fire.
The flood of '0G carried away an Inn
mense amount of lumber, all OF which
tended 10 destroy the assets and remove
the possibility Of Mr.. Whites making
the estate pay the liabilities against IT.
The report OF Mr.. Atkinson shows that
the receiver, Hon. i. l.. Mclghen. of
Moundsvillc, has made every effort TO
preserve the assets OF The estate, but the
mlsfortunes that befell him prevented
any possibility OF the property paying
the creditors in full, and Judge Jackson
of the United States circuit court, APP
pointed Mr.. Atkinson MS special master
TO close up the estate.
