HAVANA, Jan. s.-The escape from in
slant death of Harry Delgado, the New

was little short of marvellous, He has uns
dergone an operation In the San Am
brosio hospital, and it will'be determined
at the end of nine days whether he is
likely to live or die Delgado's vitality
was much reduced by, his experiences. He
lay for ten weeks in a matched hut with@
out medical attention. When his hiding
place was discovered he was so weak
that he could scarcely move. The COM
mander Of the squad was about to dis
patch him with machete, after asking
him his name. One of the Spanish SOL
ders remembered that there was "a reward
of 300, 900 pesetas for the capture of Ri
cardo Delgado or Perlco Delgado, and
they believed Henry Delgado to be one of
the two. Thoy took him to Havana,
where they expected to see him shot after
having received the blood money.

Utterly Barren Of Results.
LONDON, Jan. s-The Blmetallic league
has eabled to one Of Its members, Mr..
Forbes, who Is now in Boston, requesting
him to send wreath and to attend the
funeral of General Francis A. Walker
An editorial in The Times on the death
of General Walker, says: 'His death will
be regretted In Great Britain almost as
much as in America. He was one Of the
fairest and liberal of adversaries'' After
eulogizing' the deceased economists at
tainments and writings at considerable
length The Times continues:
with all respect, 1t Is improbable that
had he lived, he could have done much to
further the avowed object Of Senator
Wolcott' visit. Senator Woloott will be
welcomed here. For several reasons Mr..
Mckinley could not have chosen more
acceptable envoy. But public opinion In
England Is more hostile thaH before to BIZ
metallism. Nothing can be hoped from
the visit except as "A political move and a
salye to the silvsrites. The failure of his
mission is certain. No public man, what
ever his theoretical views, would think
the present an opportune time to moot
the question, and this opinion will ex-
sist, at all events, as long as bimetallism
appears to be dropped or revived accord
ing to the exigencies of American domes-
tic politics."
