UNEXPECTED TURN TAKEN Leutgert's Attorneys Tire of Ex-
 pert Testimony AND TRY OTHER TACTICS Counsel Holds Consultation as to Whether the Sausage Maker Shall Go on
 the Witness Stand

Chicago, Oct. 4.-An unexpected turn of affairs occurred in the Luetgert trial during the afternoon session of court. The defense suddenly dropped its line of expert testimony and put on witnesses to impeach the evidence of witnesses for the state. It was apparent that ex-Judge Vincent chief counsel for the defense, has at last tired of the expart evidence. The testimony of each succeeding wit ness was practically a repetition of that of preceding witness. Nothing was being gainsd, while the record of the cas4 was being swelled by a volume of medical verbertia. It had tired the jury and eminent experts. had disputed about them. Tha continued testimony had be- come tir:some. The counsel for the de- fense observed this and stopped. Dr. Re.se may be called upon ito tell of the result of anothsr experiment, but the real story of the experts as to seasa- moids, femurs, mstacarpals, temporals and other bones have been told.
 This afternoon ex-Judge Vincent, At torney Phalen, Arnold Lustgert and others who are interested in the defense held a consultation relative to whether or not Luetgert should go on the wit ness stand. At th= close of the confer ence tonight, Mir. Vincent said he had not decided upon the matter. It was in timated that MT. Luetgert might be called to the witness stand tomorrow In fact, it is expected he will be. S'tates Attorney Deneen sought information up- on this point tonight, but learned only that counsel for the defense would an- nounce their decision tomorrow morning. It Is known that ex-Judge Vincent would lal.hsr Luetgert remained off the witness stand. Attorney Phalen, his associate, desires that the big sausage maker tell his story to the jury. Luetgert is anx- ious to explain matters, but the lead ing counsel for the defense seems to fear the prisoner will talk too much if he goes on the stand and thus injure his case.
 day permitted the counsel to get a line upon the probable length of time it will take to finish the trial.
 States Attorney Deneen said tonight that three weeks more ought ot se= the end of the case.

 She had begged aser husband to resign, but he had declined saying he preferred to remain and fight it out. Despite his attitude she urged that some other pro- vision be made f1r him for his own safo- ty. Loftin has not communicated with

Hotel Lafayette, on Lake Minnnetonka, the Largest Western Summer Resort, Com pletely Destroyed-Thirty val-

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct 4.-A special to tn Express from Wellsv.lle, N. T., says: The little numbering town of Austin, Potter county, Pennsylvania, was nearly wiped off the map by a disastrous fire this afternoon and evening. At about 3 o'clock a team drove into the livery barn of R. W. Phillips with load of straw. Tha straw struck against a lighted gas jet and in a moment the wholsi building was ablaze. The livery soon in ashes and the firs started for the business portion. It was found nec- essary to blow up the wooden building occupied by Georga Helmig, as. a drug store, with dynamite in order to keep the fire from the mills. A south wind was blowing and carried the fire to the Methodist church and parsonage, the Presbyterian church and the nsw opera house. The flames then started towards the long line of wooden dwellings most ly occupied by employees of the big Good year saw mills, and soon eighty houses had bean burned to the ground.
 The only fire protection of the town was the private system of the Good years, of Buffalo, who control all of the manufacturing interests here. This sys- tenn did great service in saving the bus iness blocks. hotels, mills and Buffalo and Susquehanna railroad property. All of the 400 employees of the mills were set to work fighting the fire. The big pumps which are supplied by a pond near the village and which are used only in case of fire, were found to be entirely use- less on account of the scarcity of water, the pond being at this season extremIe- ly low.
 A specal train was run from Sostello, a neighborTng village, which carried to Austin all the fire apparatus which could be procured in that town with several willing and sturdy fire fighters, who did excellent work in subdufng the flames. Turner is the sjtreeA dn wht1al1 all the dwelling houses were situated.
 Tonight 1t is a smouldertng mass of ruins. Only five dwelling houses are left dn Jown Fully 800 persons are home- less and are seeking refuge in the few business houses on Main street. Expert iklsurance men who are upon the scene of disaster place line loss at from $165,- 900 to $225, ,0O0.
 Tnight tihe town is Infested by a gang of coughs from outside places and 1t is feared thalt considerable of the prop eTty saved will fall iriJo their hands.

WARLlKE ATTITUDE 1
Assumed By the New Cabinet Before Getting
 Used to Their Places.

Loiridon, Oct. "A special dispatch from Madrid published here this af- temoon, gives lthe substance of an in- berview between "a newspaper corres- pondent and a1 unnamed member of the new Spalrish cablJndt. The laltter is quoted ats slayang uhat Senor SagaiM will carry out the Cuban reforms pro- posed by Marshal M;aninez de Campos, ten yeanis ago. These incude the grant, ing eff aultioncmy Iuo Cuba on lhe con- dftion thaIt sine shall i1al0e over the Cu- ban debt, includlng the war debt, alryd accept Spaln's sovereignlly. CorIllnafng the new minister is said to hayee de- clared that Premier Sagatgta would mot cortgent ito a cuEi,oms union between the UtEited States alnId Cuba, but if the former were not satisfied Spain was prepared ito fight as the Spanish navy was regarded equal i'm strength to the navy of the United StaI.es. Further, if necessary, Spain, according to the cabi- ndt n&riliter, would have recous,se to pidvateeering.
 In conclusion, the new minister is al- leged to have said it was improbable that Spain would consent to recognize the insurgent debt, but Premier Sagasta would not prevent the new Cuban gov- ernment dealing with it.

 The position to be taken by the opinion fs thalu thu tenure of office of a deputy collector or deputy marshal runs wath That of ltlle olladf who appointed him.

AS VIEWED AT WASHINGTON.
Cuba May be Offered a Government Similar
 to That of Canada.

Washington, Oct. 4.-One rs suit of the formation of a Sagasta cabinet in Spain, 1t Is believed, will be the granting of amnesty to most, if not all, of the American prisoners held in Cuba and the pardon of most of the Cubans con- demned to imprisonment in the Island of Ceuta. Pending the completion of the Sagasta cabinet, there has been no official intimation that such aotior would be taken, but it is said to be a natural and ecessary part of the new Spanish policy involving the withdrawal of General weyler and the adoption of more conciliatory plans. The Competi- tor prisoners, it is expected, will be re- leased early. and Miss cisneros also

 New Orleans, Oct 4.-For the twenty four hours ending at ntghtfaM there had not been a single death recorded with the beard of health.
 Yesterday there had been tl1Irty-one new cases reported and at o'clock to- night twsnty-two were reported since g o'clock last night. Yesterday there were nearly 200 premises urliar surveillance in whi h yellow fever had been declared to exist, and in some of the houses there wera four or five cases, yet not a single ona had proved fataA in twenty-four hours. The result was that tonight the death rate had fallen to a. trifiing excess over 101a per cent. and the prospects fer an early stamping out of the disease has been considerably bIigihtened. There is no indication that the sickness will as- sums an epidemic form. An fear of such has disappeared and men who have families at ether pcir.ls are beginning to make arrangements to bring them back. One case was reported in the Convent of Mercy. Two cases appeared in the Protestant Episcopal Home on Jackson avenue and Chippewa.
 Sister Barbara of the Morals Street hospital was among those stricken. Many patiertts were discharged today as recovered. Among them was Ed Roddy of the Illinois Central road, who had been sick but a week.
 At a special meeting of the board Of health this afternoon it was decided that the ship bringing the SiciIlan immi- grants shall be detained at quarantine et the mouth of the river until further or ders and noti,e to this effect was ssnt to Collector Wilkinson.
