Spain and the United States.

MADRID, Nov. 2.-Marshal Blanco,
the new captain-general of Cuba, has
sent cable message to the Spanish
government saying he has formed a
favorable opinion regarding the pro-
spects for the pacification of Cuba. A
semi.official note was circulated to day
giving a more exact indication of the
Spanish note in reply to the communi'
cation of the United States. The first
part of the reply concludes with the as
surance that Spain is animated by 8
friendly feeling in behalf of the United
States. The second part goes into de-
tails concerning the various filibuster-
Jog expeditions which are said to have
left the United States for Cuba,
which details are based entire
ly upon the report of Calde.
ron Carlisle, former counsellor of
the Spanish legation at Washington.
Spain, in concluding that portion her
reply to the United States, expresses
the hope that the United States will
try to prevent further violations of in.
ternational law. Replying to the offer
of mediation made by the United States,
Spain says she hopes the United States
will act Loyalty and correctly IN help
ing Spain to pacify Cuba, especially in
view of the fact that an autonomist form
of government is about to be granted.
The general feeling is more hopeful of
q peaceful outcome of the situation.

Feat OF an E.ngrayer.

Boston, Nov. 2.-.Unless a person
saw with his own eyes through a
powerful magnifying glass the words o.!
the Lords Prayer engraved on the
head of an ordinary pin, he might be
inclined to regard with skcpticism any
statement that the thing could be done.
Yet it has been accomplished by q Bos.
ton engraver, Joseph D. Young. Three
years ago Mr.. Young amused hIm:elfby
engraving the Lords Prayer on plate
easily covered by the circumference Of
lead pencil. Two weeks ago he be.
gan to engrave the words OF the prayer
on pin head, and found it easy work.
The lettering starts on the edge rim Of
the pin head and circles around in
spiral until it finishes in tie centre.
Every word is distinct, and the letters
show surprising delicacy of touch. With
the naked eye the characters are merely
scratches.

BURGLARY IN AsHLAND.-Ths store.
house of Mr.. J. Marion Leake, at Ash
land was broken into Sunday night
by party of professional crooks, who
did good work in one sense and bad in
in another. They very effectually
cracked the safe, which was large
Herring, but found after the job was
done but little cash. Only S23 was Sc
cured. They evidently understood
their work, from the way they went at
it. The safe was securely wrapped
with blankets to deaden the sound of
the explosion. Powder was used for
the work. The door was completely
blown off, and in its flight cut large
portions out of the desk, which was
near by in the Office. The burglars left
town in a jumper, which was stolen
from Mr.. Robert Priddy, of Peaks. 1t
was standing outside of the residence
of Mr.. Howard Goode. The mare
which they drove was bay, with two
hind feet white and scar on her back.
The wagon was tracked in the direc-
ton of Richmond. The men secured
tools from Holidays wbeelwright shop
and Warden's blacksmith shop, all of
which were found in the store the next
morning when Mr.. r. s. Mills discov-
cred the broken1door.

SPAIN PREPARING FOR WAR.-A dis.
patch from London, says The Chroni-
Gle claims to have reliable authority
for stating that Spain, preparing for
eventualities with America, signed con.
tracts last week for the option of pur-
chasing certain completed or nearly
completed cruisers in British shipyards.
The financial question having been
raised during the negotiations, the Of
fetal representing the Spanish govern
ment spoke confidently of Spain's abili.
ty to raise large internal war loan.
He added that, in the event of an out.
break, the government would appeal
to popular enthusiasm, which would
not fail. The Chronicle admits the pos
sibility of the truth of the report, and
refers to the four wsrships that are
known to be building to SPANS order
in Great Britain.
A dispatch from London This evening says
the Chronicles statement, given above, lacks
confirmation, that is, so lar as as Spain con.
tracting for ships in Great Britain is con.
cerned.

TURNED STATES EvIDENCE.-The
celebrated Hall.Smith-C Cannon con-
spiracy case came up in Norfolk yester-
day on an appeal from the decision OF
Police Justice Tomlin, who fined the
defendants-E. Guy Hall, VIM. Smith
and Joseph Cannon-$500, and sem
fenced them to six months imprison-
ment. They were charged with con-
spring against the chastity of Mrs.
Lillian Bain-Cannon, wife of Joseph
Cannon, in order to manufacture evil
dence to be used in a divorce case. A
sensation almost as profound as that
at the time of the arrest of the men
was caused by the announcement of
Thomas r. Borland, attorney for Will.
liam Smith, that his client had decided
to turn States evidence, and tell all
he knew about the case. He was
placed on the stand after all the other
testimony was in, and told story of
plan TO deprive the child wife of the
good name, in order that her husband
might be free. He testified that her
bargain between Cannon and the other
two was that they were to receive 500
each for the evidence which would dis
solve the marriage, and that Hall>was
to receive 5000 if he succeeded in pro.
ducing it within specified time. He
told still further how the young wife
was taken away from home by Hall,
and he also testified to the payment OF
some money by Cannon to both Hall
and himself. The witness was still on
the stand at adjournment.
