succeed TO the vacancy created by the re-
tirement of Commissary General Sullivan.
Col. Bell has very strong backing in Ben

Interesting Medical Case Closed at 81
Paul, Minn.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, November 12.-Miss
Matilda Anderson. young woman who
has been kept alive at the hospital for six
weeks by artificial respiration, died late
last night of congestion of the lungs. For
forty-two days the nurses and house physi-
clans of the hospital have been filling Miss
Anderson's lungs with air by artificial
means, at first by raising and lowering the
arms, and when tn became painful by op-
Grating on the chest By this method how
ever. the lungs were but partially filed at
best, and had the nurses stopped even for
five minutes Miss Anderson would have
strangled and died 1he young woman had
become so used to the manipulation that
she ate and slept almost naturally and
could carry on a conversation. The young
girl was victim of d form of paralysis
when received at the hospital, and when
that disease was complicated with conges-
tion of the lungs it was impossible to save
her. The case has attracted the attention
of many eminent physicians.

Spain Unable to Raise Funds to In

FAILURE 10 GET AID OUTSIDE
Probable Motive for Change in At

AT END OF FINANCIAL STRING

LONDON, November 12.-Striking evil
dence of Spain IS financial straits Is furnish
ed in the dispatch of the Madrid cores
pondent of the Daily Mail, cabled to the
Associated Press last night, saying the
Spanish government. finding it impossible
to raise the sum of f3,OOO.OOO by loan
or taxation, to carry out its original
naval plans, has decided to build two new
cruisers only, of 1000 tons each. The dis
patch added that it is intended to summon
, the cortes as soon as possible to vote cred
Its for the building of more men-of-wa and
the placing of more pkverful guns on
board the existing vessels.
Battle Ships Were Ordered First.
1t is now pointed out that the cruisers
mentioned by the Daily Mail correspondent
were to have been battle Ships for whose
construction the government of Spain nego-
fated with the Armstrong; months ago
The contracts were eventually signed and
the keels of the new battle ships were laid; /;
but the Armstrong; refused to proceed
without assurances of payment. Now it is
doubtful If Spain will even be able to pay
for the small and comparatively ineffective
cruisers which are intended to replace the
projected battle ships. Yet, in spite of this
according to the correspondent Of the Daily
Mail, the Spanish naval officers claim to
regard the Spanish navy as being already
superior to the navy Of the United States,
utterances Of the Spanish press.
Appeal to Other Nations.
In connection with Spain's hunt for war
ships American diplomats have learned
that Spain recently endeavored to make an
arrangement with Japan whereby, in the
event of war with the United States, the
thirty or so warships now building in vari-
Gus shipyards for Japan would be trans
ferred to Spain, and it is supposed that,
upon the failure of these negotiations the
Spanish government entered upon a deal
with Chile for the transfer to the Spanish
flag of several vessels about completed for
the Chilean republic
The diplomats referred to express the
opinion that, from the standpoint of inter-
national law. the completion of such a deal
might be regarded an unfriendly act to-
ward the United States
In Desperate Financial Straits.
Besides the Rothschilds, other prominent
financiers of London and Paris have entire
ly cut off the monetary supplies which
Spain has hitherto succeeded i'll obtaining.

Special Dispatch to the Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to the Evening Star
CLEV ELAND, Ohio. November IA
great wave of indignation at the anti-Han-
movement in Ohio has swept over the
state There is a widespread opinion that
the election of republican majority in the
general assembly meant the reelection of
Senator Hanna to the Senate of the United
States without a question.
1t is also the prevailing opinion that the
violation Of the pleoge given at the Toledo
convention indorsing Mr.. Hanna would be
treachery. In spite of this sentiment the
anti-Hanna movement goes on. Mr. Hanna
Is greatly annoyed and somewhat alarmed
at the situation as he finds it.
There have been many conferences held
here concerning the situation. The rumor
that the Forakerites are attempting to
form a combination with the democratic
legislators to elect Bushnell has caused a
good deal of annoyance to the friends of
Mr.. Hanna. One of the senator's friends
declares that a plan has been outlined
which viii check this alliance. 1t contem-
plates bringing into full operation the pow
er of the national administration and it
threatens that the barriers of civil service
reform which now protect the public serv-
ice will be torn down and every democrat
holding federal office in the state will be
told to walk the plank"
Hanna Wants a Conference.
There is no doubt Senator Hanna has
Indicated to the leaders of the Bushnell
faction in Columbus that he will ask for
a conference shortly. At this conference
he will ask that peace be declared and
that all thought of war be dropped. 1t
is hardly probable that his overtures will
be accepted.
The ants are looking everywhere for
a legislator with enough courage to lead
the fight against Mr.. Hanna Harry Ma
son of this city will do so. but his name
is so far down the alphabetical list that
it is feared he will find too few to fol-
lew him. Some man who is well up in the
list of letters is wanted. who will cast his
vote against Hanna on joint ballot.
The Foraker men are perfectly satisfied
that Mr.. Mason will stand to his guns but
they want man to break the ice before
Mr. Mason is called on to vote If they
can start a stampede further up the line
a protracted deadlock seems likely.
Hopes of the Antis.
The antis now claim that there are
enough republican members of the legisla-
ture who do not like Mr.. Hanna and who
will vote against him to deadlock the legis-
lature from the start. After few ballots
it is thought that the ranks of the anti
Hanna men will be strengthened by desert
ers from the other side. The longer the
deadlock the better grow the chances of
the anti-Hanna men. In the end 1t is be-
Eeved that enough of the republican MEM
bers who vote for Hanna to satisfy their
constituents, but who are not friendly to
MIR. Hanna personally, will bolt his ranks
to elect Governor Bushnell with the help of
a few democratic votes.

DENIED BY THE JAPANESE.
That Nicaragua Canal Concession
Had Been offered Them.


Had Been offered Them.
The Japanese legation today denied the
story that negotiations were pending look
ing to the offering of the Niearaguan canal
to Japan by the Greater Republic of Central
America. 1t was stated positively that no
such negotiations have ever been pending
or contemplated.
1t was said that Japan has no minister in
the greater republic, nor has the latter gov
ernmert a representative in Japan 1t is
probable, therefore, that If negotiations
were contemplated, they would be conduct
ed through the legations at Washington
and there is no knowledge Of such inten-
ton.
Further than that, however. the Japan
csc legation In THIS city was authorized by
the home government to deny rumor sim
liar to this one which was current some
time ago. The denial was not made for the
reason that the story was old when the In
structions were Received. but the legation
has no hesitancy In denying the report
now.

Count Cnssini His Successor.

1t is learned at the State Department
that Mr.. Kotzebue has not only resigned
from the Washington mission, but that
his resignation has been accepted by the
Russian foreign office and his successor
has been appointed, in the person Of Count
Cassini. the present Russian minister at
Pelking.
Mr.. Kotzebue was induced to relinquish
his Office mainly on account Of the ill-health
of his wife, who was in such a state of
health as to be unable to endure the ocean
passage to the United States. While he has
not yet been placed in the diplomatic serv-
ice, it is expected by his friends here that
he will be given an appointment in the
Russian council.

NOT YET ACCEPTED.
Proposition In OleOmargarine Cases
Still Under Confederation.

Still Under Consideration.
Commissioner Forman of the internal
revenue bureau said to Star reporter to-
day that his office has not yet officially
accepted the amount rendered by Wilkins
& Co. and Wilkins and Butler in COM
promise of the oleomargarine cases here
and in Philadelphia. The matter has been
under consideration by the. Secretary Of
the Treasury. Mr.. Forman did not deny
that his inclinations may be in the direc-
ton of accepting on the part Of the gcv
ernment the $1,000 rendered to compromise
the cases. but he stated emphatically shat
he has not, so far, advised the district at
torney in Philadelphia or in this city to
recommend the acceptance.
Not line has passed from this Office
to District Attorney Beck or District At
torney Davis advising their recommenda-
ton of accepting a compromise" said Mr..
Forman. Here are the letters that pass
ed, and you will see from them that the
usual course in offers of compromise has
been followed by this Office. On October
26 / wrote to both of the officials named.
stating that the amount offered for COM
pr omise had been increased to $1,000. and
asking their recommendation. On the same
day wrote to District Attorney Beck nam
ing the witnesses who would be ready to
appear at the trial, showing that 1t was
not then the intention of this office to sug-
gest compromise. On the other hand, we
went right ahead preparing for the trials.
In all offers of compromise which reach
this Office we direct the formal letters you
have seen and request the opinion of the
officers having charge of the case.
''It has, however, been the policy o. the
office for years to accept offers OF COM
promise when 1t was deemed proper to do
so. We compromise many cases every
year, and will. continue to do SO. When
man is punished by heavy monetary con-
sideration we feel that We have accom-
plished good deal. It frequently results
in driving him out Of the business he ls
engaged in and is a warning to Others"
