Statement Regarding the Meeting of Min
inter woodford and Duke Of Tetuan.
WASHINGTON, Sept 2l.-It can be
stated in reference to the Paris pub
lication purporting to give the sub
stance of General Woodford's COM
munication to the Duke of Tetuan that
there has been a misapprehension on
the part of The Temps correspondent
ON several important points, notably in
respect to an .ultimatum, and the set
ting of time limit for the conclusion
Of the war. Instead Of fixing the end
Of October next as the date for the ter
uination Of the war, that particular
date was mentioned as the time when
the Spanish court would return to
Madrid from San Sebastian, and when,
consequently, it might be in order
To Return au Answer
to the latest representations OF the
United States government through Mr..
Woodford. It is declared at the state
department that while Mr.. Woodford
did, according to the original idea oi
his instructions, set out the deep inter

VERSAILLES, Ind, Sept. IL. "A mob
of 400 infuriated men lynched Lyle
Levi, Bert Andrews, Clifford Gordon.
William Jenkins and Henry Schuler,
who had been arrested for burglary.
Frequent robberies had enraged the
citizens of the county, and the mob was
composed Of citizens from Milan, SUM-
man and other towns. The mob on
horseback entered the town an hour
after midnight, and called out Jailor
Keenan,, who, upon refusing to give up
the keys, was overpowered. The mob
soon pushed its way into the cell rooms,
and in their impatience, first fired on
the five prisoners and then dragged
them to tree a square from the Jail
door and hung them up.
None of the citizens seem to deplore
the action of the mob, but on the con-
trary, the hanging of three more
members of the gang is being talked OF.

THE STORY FROM PARIS.

timatum to Spain.
PARIS, Sept. 2l.-A dispatch from
San Sebastian to The Temps of this city
says that in his interview with the
Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish minister
for foreign affairs, the United States
minister to Spain, General Stewart L.
Woodford, did not present any claim
for indemnity, but confined the inter.
view to moderate phrase in the state.
ment of the great injuries commerce
and industry had suffered in the United
States through the prolongation of the
Cuban war.
General Woodford is said to have
added that Secretary Sherman had de.
sired him to declare to the Spanish gov.
ernment that it was evidently impossi.
BILE to end the rebellion in reasonable
time, and further, that if the war con.
tinued Cuba would be devastated and OF
no utility to Spain or to the Cubans. In
conclusion, the United States minister
is said to have insisted courteously but
firmly upon the necessity Of terminal.
ing the war, declaring that if it was not
terminated by the end of October the
United States would feel justified in
taking measures to secure the independ'
ence of Cuba.
The Duke Of Tetuan, still according
to the dispatch to The Temps, while
protesting against alleged American
"pretentions," said he would reply
officially to the United States ministe,

"The methods and aims Of many OF
these Exchanges and boards Of trade
are not altogether beneficial to the busi-
ness and commerce of the country. The
crying complaint Of today and the great
menace to the welfare OF the people is
the tendency of wealth to monopolize
and control by trusts and combines the
products and industries OF the country,
and it must be, confessed by every
thoughtful observer that many Of the
so-called stock and produce exchanges
are among the most potent instrument
talities for the accomplishment of these

DRY GOODS.

New York Nov. 19.-Dry goods are fol-
lowing the line of the weeks trade and
show no change There can be no radical
change in the way of more reasonable
prices. In woolens worsted goods the de-
mand is restricted to slight recorders. job
bers are conducting campaign of conces-
sions on various different lines of goods
and in this way are obtaining control of
vest number of orders at exceedingly ir-
regular prices; they neither mar or help
the situation to any appreciate extent.
Collections are very fair. In staple cottons.
the demand for both brown and bleached
goods is quite limited, and is without fea-
ture in any grade. In print cloths, the
trading of the week has been small Bids
of a 2Ac for extras are steadily refused
by manufacturers, and there is practically
no demand for these goods at present.
