RUSSIA AND ENGLAND,
The Cars Policy in the East 'Ex-
planned by q Russian Statesman.

The Cars Policy in the East Ex-
planned by Russian Statesman.
The Paris Soleil prints an interview
between it's St. Petersburg correspond
ent and a prominent Russian states
man which may be interesting just
now. Among other things the cars
man said: 49, n
.'We are not the enemies of England.
We willingly recognize the great role
that she plays in the world. We sin
cerely wish her success in her projects
of Anglo-Saxon and colonial federation.
But we are suspected of cherishing
desire to capture Hindoostan. What
nonsense! What absurdity! England,
however, refuses our offers of friend
ship. Everywhere we find her in the
front ranks of our enemies. She will
compel us at last to take sides against
her. And for all that she ought to
understand that her danger does not
come from our side. Some day she will
bitterly regret the Franco-Russian al
lance, but then it will be too late"
Speaking of the eastern question, this
diplomat made the following bold state
ment:
Turkey will yield every point be-
yond doubt. Thessaly will be COM
pletely evacuated. The rectifcation Of
the frontier will not give Turkey more
than: single verst. No town in Thes-
sally will be given over to the sultan.
AS to the internal reforms, rest assured
that we shall insist that they must be
complete and final" .--.-
The correspondent expressed some
doubt in regard to the docile resigna-
ton of the porte, and asked for some
further explanations.
I'VE are not now as we were at the
immediate close of the Crimean war;"
said the Russian statesman. .'To-day
we are strong, and the Russian govern
ment can speak like master. More
over, we are in full accord with the
ideas of Austria. The resistance of
Turkey would bring about a military
Intervention in which we would play
the first part. Turkey does not want
to commit suicide. She knows that her
life and her death are in our hands,"
But" said the correspondent, s'Tur-
key will not last forever, and time
must come when the Ottoman empire,
poorly sustained by Europe, will crum-
BILE to dust under it's own weight"
agreed" said the statesman, ''but
when that day comes we will be in q
position to defy all our enemies united.
We will take Constantinople and CAL
lipolis, and we will fight to the last
soldier and to the last rouble to keep
them. The question will be: Constan-
tinople for the sultan or for the car?
That will be the dilemma. It will be
for Europe to make the choice"-N. Y.

Hunting Whales with Electricity.
A Canadian sea captain has invented
an apparatus with which he thinks
whales can be killed by electric shock,
says the New York Post. "A harpoon is
fixed at the end of a long metallic cable,
properly insulated, and which serves in
place of the usual rope. Through this
cable electric current Of II, 900 volts is to
be sent by means of a dynamo carried
in the whaleboat.- Philadelphia Press.

GULDENsUPPE'S BODY.
VIII Receive a Decent Burial
Now That ThOrn's Trial
is Over.

New York, Dec. Now that
there is no mystery concerning
the death of VIM. Guldensuppe,
for the killing of whom Martin
Thorn will be tomorrow be sen
fenced to execution, the horrible
fragments of the bath rubber may
be buried. The trunk, legs and
arms of the unfortunate man,
which were found wrapped in
three parcels have been kept in
the morgue, in readiness to be
produced in court, if needed, dur
ing the trial of Mrs. Mack and
Thorn.
The confessions of the prisoners
made the Identification of the
CHASTITY remains unnecessary.
Guldensuppe was a member of a
German benevolent society, and it
is said that this organization has
requested that the remains of
their late brother be turned over
to them for interment. The cor
Oner will defer the request of the
district attorney of Queens coun.
ty, who will probably arrange
that it be granted as Mrs. Mack
has confessed and her trial will
be only a matter of formality.
so the headless body of VIM. Gull
densuppe, sections of which were
picked up in the East river and in
a thicket in West Chester county,
will have a funeral and a decent
burial. The head, incased in
plaster paris is at the bottom of
the East river, and will probably
never be found.

OFFICERS TOO SMIFT.

Portland, Ore, Dee. I'm the
United States District court JUS
tice Bellinger decided the case of
the United States involving fifty
cases of whiskey seized by the
customs officers here and held for
future for an attempted unlawful
importation into the territory of
Alaska. He sustained the excep-
tons to the libel and made an or
der, directing the United States
marshal to turn the liquor over
to the claimant, William Slater.
The whiskey was packed in cases
marked Cumberland home made

Judge Gellnger said: THE
false destination is evidence of an
intention to violate the president
tial regulation against the impOr-
tation of spirits into Alaska but
the intent is not the act, nor an
attempt to commit it. The frau
dulent device of the labels so
contemplated crime against the
United States, but this does not
warrant the court in doing vio-
lence TO the statute in order to
punish those who are preparing
to violate il. Those nacka0es of
spirits were not in transit from
Portland and the labels show
they were on the wharf in Port

OR A COMPROMISE ON NEWS
SENDING HAS BEEN
EFFECTED,
As The Paragraphs Take A Turn
About In Clarifying First The
Spanish And Then The Gu
bans In The Report Of
The Cuban Struggle.

New York, Dec. "A dispatch
to the Herald from Havana says:
a report that Gen. Pando, who
was placed in charge of military
operations in Cuba by General
BlancO, has been killed in an en-
gagement with insurgents in San
ia Clara province, has just reach
ed Havana.
This report has caused the most
intense excitement in the palace
and official circles, and every eff
fort is being made by them to get
news from Gen. Pando's force
and to find out the truth or falls
ity of the startling statement.
No details of the killing of the
Spanish commander have been
received beyond the statement
that he was shot III a battle with
a force of insurgents while on the
march from Sagua La Grande, on
the northern coast of Santa Clara
to Trinidad, on the southern coast
of the same province, where he
was to take a ship and 60 ii
Manzanilla, in the eastern pro
vince of Santiago de Cuba.
Officials at the palace declare
that the story must be thorough
ly confirmed before they will be-
lieve it. They say the last re-
ports from Gen. Pando were that
he would be in or on his way to
ManzanillO by this time.
General PandO's plan was to
march right through the heart of
the territory which General Go
mez's force is declared to have
controlled. Communication with
the forces in the field has not yet
been regular, and until further di-
rect news from Gen. Pando's ar
my is received the Havana au-
thOrities will be in great anxiety.
simultaneously with this,
comes news of a battle with the
which the Spanish forces were
routed and driven from the field.
This engagement was bitterly
fought, and it is asserted that the
loss of the Spanish was very
heavy.
The official report of the Cuban
delegate at Artemisa, to the Hay-
ana junta, telling of the alleged
capture of Capt. Nunezs' camp at
Ell Ingles, says the camp contain
ed only Nunez' parents, wife and
children and two Cuban soldiers.
Old Nunez defended the camp and
was killed. The two Cuban sol
liers ran away. Mrs. Nunez and
he two girls were wounded. The
Spanish soldiers carefully carried
he wounded females to a hOspit-
II at Candenaria.

Bradley stirred up hornets nest
when he announced Sunday that
he would appoint his daughter
Miss Christine, sponsor for the
new battleship Kentucky, and
that she would break a bottle
over its Prov when it is launched
next January. About year ago
a commotiOn was created in the
w. c. 7. U by the publication of
a story stating that Miss Hattie
Bainbridge Richardson would
break a bottle of Kentucky Wits
key over the prov of the Ken
lucky when it is launched. Pc
titions poured into secretary Her
bert, praying that he would not
allow whiskey to be used for
christening the vessel Now the
whole matter is brought up again
by Gov. Bradley declaring his in
tentiOn of choosing his daughter
TO christen the ship. Miss Rich
ardsOn is angry over the declared
intention of Gov. Bradley and to-
night gave the following signed
statement.
"TO the public:

They VIII Submit Their Differences to
Arbitration.
The Japanese government hRsaccepted
the offer made by Hawaii to arbitrate
the dispute between the two countries,
The State Department has been in
formed Of the offer and the acceptance.
The subject OF arbitration will include
not only the difficulty over the landing
Of the Japanese immigrants, but also
will include other disagreements between
the two countries, the most important Of
which is the Sake tax imposed upon
Japanese liquor largely imported and
consumed by the Japanese in Hawaii.
The acceptance of the offer Of arbi-
tration, a brief synopsis Of which has

prepared to enter upon the terms for
a settlement Of pending disputes, The
formal letter Of acceptance has been sent
to Hawaii and the conditions Of arbi-
tration will be contained therein. Those
conditions are not known here. Pend
