CHILE CANNOT DO 1T.
Cannot Assume the Guardianship of
Bolivia

New York, Nov. 2O.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso, Chile,
says. International affairs are still in
such shape that war is a possibility.
This statement is made on the author
ity Of a person who knows the exact
situation.
La Larde, an Independent paper of
Santiago, in a leading editorial, de-
clares that under no circumstances can
Chile assume the guardianship of Bo-
livia. Even if the plebiscite should
favor Chile, giving to this government
permanent possession of the old Peru
Wan province of Tacna and africa,
Chile could not transfer these PROVING
es TO Bolivia, as that government de-
sires, without great danger of a war
with Peru. 1t is believed that if such
a transfer was made Peru would seize
the provinces, which she could easily
do, as her arny's strength is much

scene of the great confiagration near

that The losses will neccessitate the in

st. Louis. No., Nov. 20.-A motion
for new trial in the case against ex-
Letter Carrier Lawrence, is being ar
gued before Judge Elmer B. Adams, in
the United States District
court. o. Neils's attorney bases
his motion chiefly upon the
contention that the three decoy
letters which caused O'Neirs convic-
tion were never intended for delivery
to the persons to whom they were ad-
dressed and hence their theft, on num-
erous Supreme court decisions, consti-
tuted no violation of the Federal statu-

PALMA ON AUTONOMY.
Does Not Believe Mckinley Will Give
Such Aid to Spain.

Such Aid to Spain.
New York, Nov. 2O.-Discussing a
dispatch from Washington stating that
President McKinley's policy would
be to urge Cuba to accept autonomy
Tomas Estrada Palma, of the junta,
said:
1T Is moral impossibility that the
president of a great nation like this,
should in any way uphold the hands
of Spain and help to crush US in our
struggle for liberty. The idea is rid
iculous. 1t cannot be. The Cubans
in Cuban and the Cubans in America
have the utmost faith in the admins
tration in Washington"
Eidel G. Pierra, said:
1.-The story cannot he true. The
president, secretary OF state and the
adopt any anti-Cuban policy. Such
talk is proftless.
But, whatever happens, we are go
ing to keep on fighting. We did not
begin this war with closed eyes. We
counted the cost and prepared for any
obstacle. They cannot prevent Gu
ban independence. They may delay
it; that is all.
I'VE do not reckon so much on Gu
ba's strength as on SPANS helpless
ness. AS the searchlfght is turned on
Spain, people all over the world are
coming more and more to realize what
sort of a country Spain is. The in

Spain does not intend to give auton-
omy today any more than she did
three years ago. The cabinet meet
ing at which the so-called autonomy
program was finally decided on was
set for last Monday. That morning
Senior Moret became suddenly and
mysteriously i'll, the meeting was in

Him Be Good.
Constantinople, Nov. 20.-officials of
the Russian embassy yesterday sent a
second note to the Turkish minister
pointing out that in the times of diff
Guilty Russia had abstained from urg-
ing payment of the war debt due her
by Turkey; but now that the govern
ment of Turkey had decided upon fresh
ornaments, which were not warranted
by the present situation, Russia de-
mands a portion of the arrears on the
same grounds that Austria argued the
payments of the claims due to the
Oriental railroad, an Austrian corpora
ton, which transported Turkish
troops during the recent war with
Greece. In consequence of this COM
munication the Porte Informed the
Russian charge d'affairs that nothing
had been decided upon concerning the
ornaments, at the same time bestow-
ing upon the official the grand Gordon
of the Osmali order. 1t is believed
that the Turkish government will now
drop its plan for the reorganization
of the navy, although officials of the
German embassy are instructed to sup
port the offers of German firms to re-
construct the fleet and supply the
Turkish government. with the neces-
sary arms, ammunition and uniforms.

Since the Intelligencer enlightened the

for fe%rtilizers-at a considerable saving
to the city as compared with the pres

people has been started, in opposition to
the Philadelphians.
For some time the Wheeling Tallow

ing the matter of making a proposition
to the city on the line OF that made by
the Philadelphia concern, and It is
probable that when council considers
the proposition OF the outside parties, a
counter proposition will be introduced
for the Wheeling Talolw & Hide Asso-
citation, although the association has
not fully determined to take this step.
Members OF the association believe that
they can make a proposition that will
