he has only had a preliminary chat
with the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs. The general is quoted as hav-

Tetuan to be most amiable and able
man and that no ultimatum to Spain
was delivered as that country would
not put up with it and because the in

to offer its good Offices in the most

the Cuban question by November at

Important Testimony Given the
Witness Stand Monday.
Chicago, Sept. 29.-William Charles
testimony in the trial of Adolph l..
Luetgert yesterday was we!l-nigh a
fatal blow to the theory of the state
that Mrs. Luetgert was boiled in crude
potash in the vat in the basement of
her husbands factory. Mr.. Charles
swore he and Luetgert dumped three
barrels of soap grease and bones into
the vat the morning of the day Mrs.
Luetgert disappeared. He was the
business partner of Luetgert in the
manufacture of sausage at the big fac
tory
According to his own testimony Mr.
Charles was the innocent cause of the
theory of the police and the states at
torneys, for he said he was the one
who suggested to Luetgert that soft
soap be made in the vat and on that
suggestion Luetgert acted.

Omcial Report,
Washington, Sept. 29.-The admins
tration has had under consideration
for some time the propriety of making
public the text of the letter presented
to the duke of Tetuan, the Spanish
minister for foreign affairs, by Min
lister Woodford, in which was outlined
this governments view with reference
to the Cuban situation. 1t was pur-
posed to do this because of the incor-
rect and sensational reports that had
been circulated concerning Minister
Woodford's representations to the
Spanish authorities; but. however, it
has been deemed advisable by the
president to withhold the letter from
the public for the present. 1t is sup
posed that Mr.. Mckinley may have
been animated in this decision by the
wishes Of the Spanish government.
