SPANS CONDITION.

An American diplomat who has just
arrived here from Madrid says the con-
dition of Spain is even worse than the
correspondents depict. Whoever is sent
to Cuba, he adds, will attempt to buy
off the insurgent leaders
The diplomat further says that the
Spanish government is 50 hard pressed
for money that it is attempting to sell
all the public lands and buildings that
can possibly be spared Not only have
the soldiers been unpaid since last
March. but the pension lists are in ar
rearS.
An social intercourse between the
American minister at Madrid and the
Spanish officials and the diplomatic
corps had been suspended for more
than year. This was partly due to
the fact that Hannis Taylor, the for
mer United States minister to Spain,
was persona non grata to most of the
members of the diplomatic corps.
For Is months Mr.. Taylor has not
been on speaking terms with the
French and Austrian ambassadors and
with the papal nuncio. The rupture
with the French ambassador was be-
cause Mr. Taylor protested against be-
ing omitted from the list of guests at a
reception given by the ambassadors.

Case of Grace Darrell, Who Is Alleged
to BE Under Hypnotic Influence.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June 3.-Another
phase of the famous Grace Darrell case
developed to-day. The case has attracted
a great deal of attention from the fact that
a hypnotic influence is said to possess the
girl. The case started in Sumter county
two years ago, where the Armstrong fam
lily who now reside in Jacksonville, then
lived Grace Darrell claimed to have been
kidnapped, taken to the woods, stripped of
part of her clothing, and tied to tree
where she was found the next morning
-Four young men were charged with the
crime, arrested and convicted but new
trial was granted. The young men were
afterward arrested and tried here in the
United States Court, charged with sending
obscene letters to Miss Darrell. Numerous
letters were submitted in evidence and the
case was sensational in the extreme. The
prisoners were convicted, but again the
court set aside the decision. Recently Miss
Darrell made a sworn confession to Major
st. Clair Abrams counsel for the defense
saying that her testimony was false and
that the letters were written by James
Armstrong her guardian, and others
for the purpose of convicting the
young men. When the fact that she had
made this confession became known she
was taken to the newspaper offices by
Armstrong and there denied ever having
made it, To-day she was brought into
court and again denied having made the
confession, despite the fact that it was wit
messed by four prominent and reliable a S eiti,
Zens. Armstrong was present when these
denals were made. Tonight Miss Darrell
escaped from the Armstrong residence and
declared that the confessions were abso-
lutey true. She says that Armstrong has
a. Syengali-like influence over her and that
she is poweress to do otherwise than as
he tells her to do She is at present in
the care of Major ST Clair Abrams, and
will be kept away from the influence of
Armstrong. Further developments of
sensational nature are promised. Arm

The Valencin Case.

WASHINGTON, June Enquiry at the
State Department as to the firing on the

of the harbor of Guantanamo, Cuba, is met
by the statement that the matter is now I'M
der investigation. The United States vice
consul at Cienfuegos filed a protest against
the conduct of the Spanish officers on the
cruiser, and the Havana officials imme-
diately sent a naval officer to Cienfuegos
to make the investigation. on the results
of which our State Department is wait
ing. 1t is said, in behalf of the Spanish
side of the case, that more than a year
ago the attention of the Ward Line Steam
ship Company was called TO the fact that
the commanders of some of their vessels
running into Cuban ports failed to fly the
United States colorS and thus made it diff
fcult for the Spanish navy to establish
their identity. Since that time there has
been less complaint on that score. The
Valencia, however, was new TO this particu-
lar line, and the Spanish naval officers
patrolling the coast did not know her from
her appearance. In such cases it is custo-
mary to call for an exhibition of the ships
colors, first by firing a blank. and, if this

LOGANSPORT, Ind, June 3.-The people
Of Logansport are very much elated over
the recovery from the State National Bank
failure. Depositors will lose nothing from
it, borrowers will not be embarrassed and
business will go on as usual. Bank Exam
iner Caldwell expressed himself as highly
pleased with the manner in which the cit

the heavy blow of the failure of the State
National Bank and especially with the
manner in which they have taken hold of
the work OF reorganization IN all his eX-
perience he stated, this has been the most
remarkable of which he had ever heard.
Since the 10Th OF May one of the most stu
pendouS bank frauds ever known in town
of this size has been unearthed, involving
the suspension of business in the way of
credits of nearly a million dollars. the per-
petrator of the frauds has been landed in
the penitentiary and the work of reOrgan-

citizens are concerned has been completed.
Every one has worked together harmont-
ously and the best of feeling has prevailed,
even through the first few days of a tinan-

have created a panic that would have car
ried down with it many of the leading bust
ness firms of the city, while here only one

TO CORNER WHISKY.
Alleged Scheme That VIII Require
Nearly $5O,OOO ZOO Capital.

NEW YORK, June 3-The Journal and
Advertiser tomorrow will say: For two
hours yesterday afternoon five telegraph
instruments ticked off a private message of
over ten thousand words from Louisville
ing one of the most gigantic schemes ever
devised. Great financial interests here are
deep in cOgitation over d proposition to
corner twO-thirds of the whisky in the
United States. They are contemplating
the formation of a pool to buy up 50, 900 900
gallons Of whisky now in bond in the State
of Kentucky. The plan necessarily i'm
plies advancing the price of whisky.
Among the other reasons urged is the
statement that the banks which have
loaned money on the liquor held in bond
are afraid of a decline in price which will
affect the money they have already loaned.
All efforts to ascertain the financial in
tereStS here which were considering the
proposition were fruitless yesterday The
plan is said to have originated with
Samuel L. Rice, president of the American
Spirits Manufacturing Company, which
succeeded the old Whisky Trust. Jules S.
Bache, of the banking house of j. S. Bache
d. Co., and vice president of the American
Spirits Manufacturing Company, admitted
yesterday that such a message had been
received in this city, but refused to divuge
it's contents, nor would he enter into the
details of the plan or name the money in
terests which the Western distillerS were
seeking to interest.
The plan outlined was learned from an
other source. The price which the syndi-
cate would have to pay would range from
SO cents to $3.50 per gallon. The average
cost is believed to be about 60 cents. At this
rate the amount of money required to carry
this stock of whisky would be nearly
$50, 600, 000.
