MKENNA TO Be
ASSOCIATE JUSTICE
appointment Formally Decided Upon
by the President,
WITH CABINETS APPROVAL
Judge wsymirs Of California Is Likely to
Succeed to the Attorney
Generalship.

Chicago. Nov. 1s--A special to the Tri-
bdne from Washington says:
Attorney-Gen McKenna's appoint
ment as associate justice Of the supreme
court, to succeed Justice Field. has been
formally decided upon by the president
and heartily approved by the cabinet. The
succession II the department Of justice
is still open. The presidents private
flies contain letters from all over the
country suggesting names including those
Of many men who have hitherto not been
mentioned publicly. Judge waymire. OF
California, appears to be in the lead thus
far. A large number of letters from New
York suggested John ]. McCooI1. It is
stated that were 1t not for geographical
considerations. John s. Runnells. OF chi
cago. would have been favorably consid-
cred. It was deemed impossible. how
ever, to have two cabinet officers from
Illinois This same attention to political
surveying has prevented the active con-
sideration OF Judge Nathan Goff. OF West
Virginia. who Is too near Maryland to
receive consideration. 1t IS believed the
president Will not see his way clear to
leaving the Pacific Slope out of the cab
met, and in that event Judge waymire
is likely to be the man.
The state department has officially no.
tilted Charles Page Bryan Of his appoint
ment as minister to China and be is ex-
pected to come on Immediately and quail
ify. Foreign ministers file new bonds
and hence a recess appointment is ample.
They receive no commissions and formal
instructions on being confirmed by the
senate. and not being bonded are not
forced to wait for confirmation.

THERE is NO HOPE
FOR AUTONOMY
TEXT OF STAINS FRONISED REFORMS
STILL LACKING.
General BlaueO handieapped-SpaaiSh Of
ficers Throw Obstacles in
His Nay

New York. Nov. lS.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
There is no sign of the full text of
the promised reforms and in consequence
the hopes Of the most optimistic autono-
mists are dwindllng. The fault lies not
with General Btanco. There is every
reason to believe that his promises on
arrival were made in good faith. He
is evidently deeply incensed at the false
position in which he is placed. He cabled
day or two ago to Madrid saying Gen
eral Weyler had deceived him as TO the
condition of the army and the govern
ment had misled him regarding their
sincerity in promising autonomy, and
broadly hinted that he felt inclined to
ask to be relieved.
In addition to spain's delay Spanish
officers here throw obstacles in the way
of autonomy by procrastination in car
rying out instructions to adopt less harsh
methods of warfare and endeavOr to
destroy the suspicious of the rebels.
The Herald correspondent has just re-
turned from two-days' trip through
Havana to Artemisia. Every military
commander of a town who was met said
he had not yet received any orders re-
garding the extension of the zones OF
cultivation.
The condition Of the reconcentrados is
unaltered. Their sufTerings are appalling.
To put any one sugar estate into con-
dition to grind would cost considerable
sum, which neither planters nor the
Spanish government can at present af-
ford. These delays, 1t is believed, have
killed the chances Of autonomy.
The Herald's correspondent with the
Cuban army writes:
'Unless General Blancc speedily makes
more headway than he has done yet
autonomy viii be dead letter in tbs
Cuban issue"
GeneraI Pedro Betancourt, chief of thu
Matanzas province and an intimat'
friend Of General Gomez, writes from tn
field under date Of November II.
Notwithstanding this, you may res
assured that all patriotic men in cub
are determined and in condition never I
surrender to the Spanish flag. Such Il
the resolution of the iberatirg arm!
known already to all nations Throughout
the world, and you may therefore Civ
this expression the utmost publicity"

married to Mrs. Wallace. We came home
together that afternoon. over ter
strangers have stopped at the housC
and Ketcham and Mrs. Wallace havt
been living together for nearly
year, but the mail was always addressed
to Mrs. Wallace. About the first of Oc
tober Ketcham came to me and told m
he had made his will and asked me t
sign it. I did so in the presence o
himself and Mrs. Wallace. Mrs. Tony
a friend of Mrs. Ketcham, was the onl,
other person present"
When seen by reporter after leavin

The stay and staff of sound health is

nervous dyspepsia or headache may be
sure that every reservoir of nerve
force has been tapped and exhausted
by work, worry, too little sleep, or
faulty nourishment because of poor
digestion and assimilation. AS soon as
such signs of nervous exhaustion are
noticed. shaky hands, broken sleep,
poor appetite, wasting diseases, neu-

the remarkable restorative and regu-

Nervous disorders increase in q sort

HEROES. EVERY ONE OF THEM.
Brave Defence Of Wounded Comrades by
Lieut.. Mcintyre and IL Men.

Smla, Nov. 12.-Dispatches received
from the British camp in the Maiden
valley say that a man who has just
come in there brought some details OF
the killing of Lieut.. Mcintyre and the
u men belonging to the Northampton
shire regiment, who met death while
endeavoring to save the wounded or
the regiment during the retreat from
the Saran-Sar mountain.
This survivor says that when the
lieutenant found himself isolated he
dispatched him for aid, as the small
party was hampered by the wounded
and would not desert them.
The rest of the sad tale will never
be known. But as shown in earlier
dispatches, Lieutenant Mcintyre and
his handful of men sacrificed their
lives for their wounded comrades, the
positions in which the bodies were
found showing that they died bravely
fighting to the last.
The enemy was afraid to rush upon
the little band. the dispatches also say
but shot at them from points of van
tage until every man of the British de-
tachment died from rifle bullet
wounds.
A full representation of the Orakzai
tribes met Gen. Lockhart, the British
commander, today, and heard the
terms which he insists upon for their
submission. namely, the restriction of

break. their disarmament by another
