CUBA LOST TO SPAIN.
Newspapers Declare That the Island
 Cannot Be Reconquered.

London, Sept. 16.-The morning pa pers comment upon the increasing diff faculties of the position of Spain. The Daily Chronicle says:
 It is plain that Cuba cannot be re- conquered. If the Madrid cabinet is unwilling to face the facts and to confess that Cuba is lost there will be a worse humiliation for Spain. President Mckinley will be less than an American and more than mortal if he abstains from throwing an ulti- matum into the scales.
 The cooperation of the American squadron will give the insurgents command of the island and shut up Captain-General Weyler and his rab- ble in Havana without hope of help by land or sea. It is possible that Cuba will enter the American Union, but the Cubans have fouga 1t su fzsrt for Independence that they are unlike ly to be disposed to part with 1t even to so powerful and caressing a neigh bor.
 The Daily Mail publishes an Inter view with the Earl of Ashburnham. the English representative of Don Carlos, in which the earl confirms the report that the Carlists intend to do nothing hastily, but believe that a far greater opportunity for their cause is ripening than has ever opened up before for them.

Fort Hall Reservation to Be Cut

Pocatello, Ida, Sept 15.-The Poca- tello Tribune this evening says: ''This afternoon Jim Ballard, Pocatello Tom, Pat Large and eleven or twelve other chiefs of the Shoshones and Ban hooks of the Fort Hall reservation signed treaty for the sale of about 150,000 acres of the southern end of the reservation for s4 per acre, or. in round figures, for $500 coo. The cut off line will be north of Pocatello and will open up the southern end of the reservation to public settlement
 'aThis is the best deal we have ever heard of any one making with the United States government. The price S4 per acre, is an unheard of price for public lands, and we do not believe congress would ever approve any such deal if it were not that the money was to go to the Indians.

twenty-two years ago. She then moved up into Idaho with her four or five children, offspring of this un- happy marriage. She brooded over her troubles until her mind became unbalanced and she was placed in the insane asylum at Blackfoot, where she was kept until cure was effected, after which she married again. By this marriage she had two children. She was left widow, her second hus- band dying some nine years ago.
 Now, MT. Kendall's part of the story. He lived here at Springyille with his second wife until nine years ago, when she left him and he moved up to hall. During the last nine years of his lonely life his thoughts longingly turned toward his first love and wife, until he, knowing that she was again free to accept his love, determined to go up to her home at Oxford and again see her. So some six weeks ago he packed up his grip and hied himself away to Oxford, where he laid siege to his first wife's heart with such ardor that she yielded and the result was that they were married for the second time here in Springville this week.
 Now the reunited pair expect to pass happily together the remaining span of life, which will necessarily be short, as the groom is 75 and the bride 60 years of age.

The men purported to be from Provo. and stated that they were on their way to Arizona. The following morn ing they started on their way, and were gone about four days and re- turned. On their return MT. Wagstaff inquired of one of them the reason thereof. He answered that he was afraid to travel with his partner for fear that he would kill him. The fol- lowing morning the two started northwaFd and were gone day and a half, and again returned. This time they left the team and rig in care of Wagstaff. and started for Circleville on foot, as they said, in search of em- ployment. From that date till last spring nothing further was heard from them, when letter was received from one of them, whose name, ad- dress or time of writing cannot at this Writing be ascertained, and asked for a suit of clothes left at Wagstaff's to be sent to him.
