Alleged Message From Cuba in a Tobacco
 Bale Was n Fake.

Washington, July 30.-The state de- partment has received from a Philadel- phia tobacco firm the note found in a bale of tobacco from Cuba stating that three Americans were confined in Nor TO Castle and were unable to communi- cate with their friends outside. The note will be forwarded to Consul Gener- al Lee at Havana, but the officials do not attach much importance to the note from the internal evidence of it's bogus character.
 For instance, it Is said that there were no Cooks excursions last year to Cuba; that the American consul general knows all of the very few American prisoners in Moro, and lastly it is pointed out that while the men are de- scribed as young men, later on in the note they refer to their honorable dis charges from the United States army In 1865.

PEACE MAY SOON REIGN
IMPORTANT PROPOSITION EXPECT
ED FROM CUBAN INSURGENTS.
United States May BE Asked to Act as
Intermediary with Spain-Lee to
Use His Discretion.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says: Important
advices are expected from Consul General
Lee, in Havana. this week. By this time it
is thought some idea should be had as to
whether General Blanco's policy is caus-
ing improvement in the condition of the
starving reconcentrados. The prospects of
negotiations between the Spanish author
tiles and the insurgents may also be de-
termined by the presence of General Lee.
The insurgent leaders have already stated
Enthusiastically that they will not accept
autonomy. Little hope is felt in admins
tration circles that they will change their
minds. Nevertheless an intimation has been
thrown out that General Gomez and. his as
sociates in the field were waiting an oppor-
tunity to communicate with the represent
atives of the United States. Their position
is said to be that as this country has of
fered its good offices to Spain to end the
war it is competent to receive a sugges-
ton from the other parties to the war.
While the insurgents have not received
recognition as belligerents, they want to be
treated as such in making a proposition for
peace An mixing of their purpose has
been received This is to make known
have the United States act as Intermediary
with Spain in arranging the terms of peace,
but peace on the basis of independence.
This is meant as a counter-movement to
the proffer of autonomy. Spain has al
ready declared that Cuba cannot buy in
dependence, but the insurgents do not care
for that While strengthening themselves
in the field they intend to do some diplo-
matte fencing.
No special instructions were given Gen.
Lee as full confidence is felt in his discre-
ton. A proposition from the insurgents for
mediation by the United States on the basis
suggested might be transmitted to Wash
ington, but it would hardly go further. The
feeling, based on pretty accurate informa-
ton, is that before long both the Sagasta
Ministry and the insurgents will be awaiting
themselves of the good offices of this coun-
try though just how this will come about
is uncertain. Some sanguine officials pre-
dict peace within three months.

New york Horse Show.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE New York
horse show will open tomorrow, in Madi-
son-square Garden. This will be the thir-
teenth of the annual exhibitions held under
the auspices of the National Horse Show
Association. AS usual, it is expected to be
the chief society event of the season in the
metropolis. The standard of horse flesh ex-
hibited will be fully as good as in past
years. In fact, from a spectacular point of
view, the show promises to be the best ever
given, as the entries are not only stronger
in numbers, but are materially strengthened
all the way through by the quality Of the
exhibits and the closeness with which they
compare. AS usual, the thoroughbred class
es are light, but the trotting classes have
filed well. There are over 1900 entries this
year. Last year there were only 1900.
There is hardly a prominent horse owner
who will not be somewhere represented on
the catalogue

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Referee, which
is considered one of the highest sporting
authorities in England pays great COM
pliment to-day to Tod Sloane, the American
Jockey. 1t says: 'At the present moment
we do not think we have a more popular
parsonage on the turf than Little Sloane.
If the little American goes doing well
as he has been doing we shall probably have
a school of imitators spring up. His meth
cd is superior to the English, but only pro-
longed experience and comparison of the
two styles determine which pays bet
ter. At both meetings last week Sloane
distinguished himself, and he has become
such a fayorite with the racing constituency
that he now has a strong following in the
market, while his services are much sought
by owners and trainers. Whatever may be
the merits of his style, there is no gainsay-
ing that he possesses the art of jumping
horses off quickly and also of keeping them
going straight, which is more than many
can do 1t is said that he will lay himself
out next year. and go in for the best re-
turns in winning mounts. If so he starts
with a great pull, as he can ride boys
weight and can command a far greater
number of mounts than any of the top saw

sixty years Mr.. Pinkerton has been connect

were spent in New York, where he in turn
worked on the Tribune, Times, Herald and
Sun, being intimately associated with
Greeley, Jones, Raymond, Bennett, Dana,
Weed and others Of that period. Later he
drifted west and during the past forty years
has published papers in small towns. He is
credited with owning the largest newspaper

WILL HAVE NO EASY TASK.
''Tigers" SRealize They Must Play
Football to Beat Yale.

PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. H-Princeton
now realizes that the game with Yale next
Saturday will not be the ''snap" that was
anticipated one week ago, or one hour be-
fore the Yale-Harvard game on Saturday.
The wonderful defense of Yale has caused
much shaking of wise heads among the
football coaches, and visions of twenty or
more points have been rudely dispelled If
the Tigers roll up u points to against
the Yale team Princeton will be happy.
This weeks practice will round out the
work of the varsity eleven, and the coaches
will devote their time to perfecting the in
references and general team work. For
three days the practice will be severe, and
it is intended that no opportunity will be
lost to keep the men in splendid condition.
In all probability the Tigers will spring sew
eral tricks on Yale, but Princetons mode of
attack probably will be the heavy turtle
back formations and mass plays, while the
runs may also form prominent part

to have the college eleven stay in the field
and strive for football honors but in view
of the fact that every player on the team

can do so. Therefore, it has wisely but re-
luctantly decided to disband the football
team and has Cancelled all games that it

badly injured about the legs, shoulders and
face that they will have to wear splints
and use canes and clutches for several
weeks. The athletic department at the col
