an attempt was made by walters and
visitors to lynch the assassin, who was
rescued. pale and trembling, by detec-
tive. Detectives had been present at
since Canovas went there, the Govern
ment being aware that at a meeting of
anarchists early IN July it was deter
mined that Canovas should be murdered
before August 15, and Sagasta before
August 80.
The Spanish EN- bassy in this city has
received a telegram from the Duke of
Tetuan, Spanish Minister of Foreign
Affairs which, translated, reads as fol-
lows:
THE Prime Minister, who was staying
at the sulphur baths of Santa Agueda,
has been the victim of an infamous crimi-
nal act. An individual, who appears to
be an Italian, who was also staying at the
establishment, fred several shots at
Canovas, inficting three wounds The
criminal was taken in the very act. He
protests that he had no accom- plices
Everything appears TO show the deed was
that of an anarchist, without any political
significance whatever. Perfect tranquility
reigns IN the whole of Spain, and there is
not the least symptom OF anysalteration
in the state of affairs"

SHERMAN'S VIEWS.

May Have Some Bearing
son the War in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. Sec
retary Sherman was informed of the
assassination of Canovas shortly after the
news was received at thu State Depart
ment. Being asked the political result he
said:
sThe death of one man seldom affects
the political party in power. 1t seems to
me in this case the effect, If any, would
be 10 strengthen Canovas' party. 1t will
create sympathy that will add strength"
''Will message of coincidence be sent

entirely with the President"
"WilI special instructions to Minister
Woodford be necessary if there should be
a complete change in the Spanish Min
isry?"
II don't think so. He has his instruc-
tions, and he is to deal with the Spanish
Government, not parties. He will use his
own judgment as to attending the funeral.

Ministry can affe CT Woodford's s instruc-

JOY OF THE CUBANS.
In the Death of Canovas
They See an End OF
the War on the
Island.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 8-The news
of the assassination was received by the
Cuban colony In this city with great Joy.
"Weyler's reign of terror is over, Cuba
free" they cried. At the Hotel Habana,
occupied principally by Cuban officers.
the news was loudly cheered. People ran
about the house shouting the report to
those who had retired, cheers for Cuba
libre being given. General Julio Sangully
said:
''The death Of Canovas brings the end
of the war in sight 1t is great deal to
our cause, and means as much as many
months of hard fighting. Canovas' death
means the downfall of his party. Sagasta
will at once come into power. This sud-
den change of parties may cause civil war
in Spain. Sagasta's first move will un-
dou btedly be to recall Weyler. In fact,
Weyler's reign of terror is at an end.
Campos will be sent back, and he will
carry full instructions to offer autonomy.
"Canovas has done more harm in Cuba
than Weyier When he could have
averted war by sending so-called reforms
TO Cuba he refused. Guns and bullets,
not reforms, is what the Cubans will get, ;

There's to be a mule express between
Dyea and faraway Dawson during the
coming winte and it will be the famous
old pony express of early California days
adapted to the awful winter just below
the Arctic circle.
Fifteen of the mules are here now, un-
suspicious Of their new job, and they will
go north on the smart passenger steamer
Farrallon tomorrow. Thirty more mules
will follow within two weeks, and when
winter closes in with its effort to place the
Klondike incom municado the mules Will
begin wad ing snow from post to post, car
rying letters and such light merchandise
as the hemmed-in people of the Yukon
will be willing to pay high rates for dur
ing the long winter.
At least this is the brilliant scheme
which c. H. Dewitt of Woodland and
John Roberts. master and part owner OF
the steamer Farrallon, are starting to
carry through. Mr.. Dewitt is a man of
means who owns large stock ranch in
Harney Valley, Or. A year ago he moved
to Woodland, CAL, to educate his chill
dren, and when the K!ondike fever struck
the Sacramento Valley he was one of its
victims Several Woodianders have
joined the rush, by The way, one of them
being Landlord TorFant of the Capital
Hotel there.
Dewitt is large. strong, m iddle-aged
man who has spent most of his life amid
cold and snowy winters in Idaho, Mon
tana and Colorado, and his experience
and his abundance of stock put the idea
into his head.
He arrived here the day before yester-
day with fifteen of his mules, and soon
hao not only msde arrangements for
transportation with Captain Roberts of
the Farrallon, but had acquired partner
in the enterprislng mariner, who will now
give his attention and his steamer to the
business of getting other people to the
gold fields. The presence of the mules is
evidence that the mule express is 10 be
started, whatever the fate of the enter
prise may be.
I'VE PROPOSE" said Mr.. Dewitt yester-
day, 40 at once establish stations fifteen
or twenty miles apart along the whole
route, having a man and sufficient sup
plies at each station. While the winters
are cold, the SHOWS are not very deep and
| have had years of experience where
SHOWS are deeper than they are up there
in winter. Fifteen to twenty miles will
be all q mule and rider will want to
make in day and there will be change
at each station.

DEMANDED HIS DEATH.
At the Time of the Assassina-
ton Anarchists at Paris
Were Protesting Against
Treatment in Spain.

PARIS, FRANCE Aug. Sat the moment
of the assassination OF Canovas the aDar-
chists of this city were assembled at the
Theatre de la Repubique 10 protest against
what they termed the unjustifable severity
with which they were treated in Spain. A
number of violent speeches were made.
One speaker, Spaniard named Marmol,
demanded the death of Canovas.
LONDON, Eng, Aug. 8.-A telegram
from Lyons says a newspaper, the Express,
printed last week an interview with an
Italian anarchist, who declared an an
archistic blow at Canovas had been long
prepared and the opportunity was only
awaited to deliver it.
