A DIPLOMAT TALKS.
Absolutely Denies Any Ultimatum
Has Been Sent to Spain.


New York. Sept. ga special to the
Herald from London says: In refer
ence to the sensational kilograms from
Madrid about the alleged ultimatum
ard tine inevitability of war between
the United States and Spain, the Her
aid espondent had a conversation
with a DISTINGUISHED American dfplo-
mat. who though rot personally con-
cerned in the Americans Spanish neg0-
tia'tions is liz a position to know the
exact state of affairs. but who for cb-
vious reasons would not allow mis- name
to be mentioned Ha said:
I cannot, of course, pledge in ad-
vance the government Of the United
States, but so far as the present is
concerned such a step is not in con-
temptation. The United States has
probably minated through Minister
Woodford that the present state of at
fairs is mCst deplordhle. and that If
ne could be CT any assistance in bring
ing such a condition of things to an
end, we should be glad to offer cur
services. But you may state absolutely
that 10 ultimatum has been sent to
Spain by the United States"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-09-24

Paris, Sept. ga dispatch to the
Temps from Madrid says:
The attitude of the United States has
caused a great sensation at Madrid
because opinion has been Iured on by
the optimist communications of the
Spanish minister at Washington upon
the character and duration of the cor
rect attitude of the government. and
that, too, despite several warnings from
Mr.. Olney and Mr.. Cleyeland's mes
sage.
The official bulletins of Captain Cen
eral Weyler have received too much
confidence, when the United States gov
eminent was every month receiving
from it's consuls and special ENJOYS to-
tally different news
The general impression at San Sc
bastiar and Madrid is that the Spanish
government will try to drag negotia-
tons along, unless it rejects purely and
simply the good offices of the United
States on the ground of public opinion
and upon the further ground that the
opposition would not permit it to tOler-
ate foreign Intervention, though ami
cable.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 23.-Tho first
annual celebration of Frontier day,
which was held here today, was big
success. A largescrowd of people from
Colorado. Wyoming and Nebraska at
tended upwards of 1890 persons com
ing from Denver alone. Among the Wis
itors were a large number of the first
settlers of Wyoming, who fought the
Indians and participated in the doings
of the vigilance committees.
The early days of the frontier were
reviewed With much realism, and the
people who attended the celebration
were given a good idea of the stirring
scenes enacted 80 years ago. Among
the events were cowboy races, bucking
broncho riding. running horse races,
hold-ups, hanging of old Bill Root by
the Vigilantes, maneuVreS and a sham
battle.
The broncho riding was fine and very
interesting to the thousands who had
never witnessed such sport. The COW
boy races and running horse races we're
also exciting. The military maneuvres
and sham battle were participated in
by the First battalion Of the Eighth in
fantry, stationed at Fort Russell, and
were commanded by Captain w. L.
fllCner, an Ola lnNian nSnter.
BILL ROOT LYNCHED.
The vigilantes performed their work
with neatness and dispatch. Ten men
dressed in typical frontier costumes
and wearing masks over their faces

Cotton Letter.

Brmingh ann, Ala, Sept. 3.-The market this morning has been more active, with firmer under.one.
 Liverpool advices were better than ex- pected, and this fact together with the receipt of moderate buying orders for Liverpool account, stimulated a covering demand from the short interest, which has imparted firmness to the market.
 Opening quotations were from 1 to 3 followed, but the demand exceeded the offerings, and as result prices have sub sequentfy improved and a.. 1 o'clock show a net gain of from 3 to points.
 The receipt of advices by several houses indicating damage in Alabama, Miss.s- sippi Georgia and Arkansas from worms, rust and shedding together with the re- port of existence of worms in Texas and heavy rains in the interior of that s.ate have caused a rather nervous feeling on the part of the short interest Ut is well enough understood by all that the situa- rion is such that should the sentiment regarding the production this season un- dergo any material damage, the result would be very active and much higher market The trade, however, is slow to accept damage reports, which was the case last season. We have maintained all along, however that so far as we were able to judge from our advices the apparent disposition of the trade was to overestimate crop conditions. Should this finally be demonstrated to the specu- 1ators of the cotton world. the effect
