THE LAST MANS CLUB.
Novel Society Composed of MeI
Whose Bravery Was Tested in War.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
STILLWATER, Mimi, Oct. 23.-One of the
most curious military clubs in the country
is that called the Last Mans Club, of this
city. 1t is composed exclusively of survi-
vors of Company b, of the famous First
Minnesota, all of whom, at the time of their
election, were residents of Saltwater or
Lakeland. The club meets every year at the
Sawyer House on the evening of July II to
celebrate the anniversary of the battle of
Bull Run with banquet. The membership,
which has never exceeded twenty-six, is
steadily decreasing, and when it is reduced
to one the last man will sit alone at a table
spread for twenty-six and break bottle of
wine presented to the club at its beginning.
The club was organized in the fall of 1885
and remained unbroken till 1858, when one
of its members met his death in Alaska. UP
to 1897 several men had fallen off but the
club is just now congratulating itself that
no deaths have occurred during the present
year. Thirteen was the unlucky number
that footed up the clubs first muster roll,
but the members, nevertheless, held rousing
meetings during the first winter of 1856 in
the rooms of Sheriff Marty, the clubs secre-
tary, at the courthouse. On the anniversary
OF Bull Run of this year the first banquet
was given IN great state at the Sawyer
House. and the bottle of native wine in
which the last man is to toast his departed
comrades was presented by Louis Hospes.
1t is now carefully preserved in the vaults
of a local bank. The label round the bottle
bears the names of all the members. and as
often as one dies the date of his death is
registered opposite his name, his history is
read at the next banquet and his chair
draped in black and turned with its back TO
the board. Curiously enough the man who
suggested this CHASTITY idea was the one who
went 10 Alaska-the nrst to have his chair
draped and turned to the wall
As soldiers of the First Minnesota the
members of the club took part in some of
the most splendid battles of the war Many
We're at Bull Run, Balls BLUM and the siege
of Yorktown; others took part in the bat
ties of West Point, Fair Oaks, Peach Or
chard, Savage Station, Malvern Hill and
Vienna Cross Roads; still others fought at
Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville and
not few took part in the famous tornado
charge at Gettysburg.
The last man is usually spoken OF by the
clubs as the happy survivor" but when he
stands up alone at the final banquet sur
rounded by twenty-five chairs draped in
black, he is likely to have little courage for
his toast and less appetite for his wine.

EVIDENCE IN THE LUETGERT CASE
MAY BE REHEARSED SOON.
States Attorney Deneen Says the
Trial VIII Begin This Week-In-
spector SchaacIx's Scalp Demanded.

CHICAGO, Oct 2S.-State's Attorney Den
cen has decided to put Luetgert on trial for
the second time some day next week A con-
tinuance is not asked for by the defendant.
New evidence has been discovered. This it
is said, relates to the rebuttal and impugns
the testimony of three witnesses for the de-
fense. The discovery of this new evidence
was made too late to get it in at the first
trial.
w. A Vincent and 4. A. Goodrich, Luet-
gert's attorneys, called on Mayor Harrison
to-day and made a formal demand that Po-
lice Inspector Schaak be removed Judge
Goodrich called the mayors attention to
published interviews in which Inspector
Schaak is quoted as giving intimation that
Juror Harley was Influenced by Goodrich in
holding out for a disagreement in the Luet-
CERT case. In the interview Inspector Schaak
is reported to have said that Juror Harley
was business partner of Thomas Gahan,
the Democratic politician, and that Vincent
and Goodrich were attorneys for the firm.
Harley's son, it Is said, was seen frequently
before the trial in company with Judge
Goodrich, and Inspector Schaak is quoted
as having called attention to this. Judge
Vincent Informed the mayor that every
statement made in the interview was false.
Unless Schaak could prove the truth of
what he said, Judge Goodrich, it is said,
asked to have Inspector Schaak removed.
Judge Vincent called the mayors attention
to what he termed the ''rascally'' methods
OF Schaak in prosecuting the Luetgert case,
and 1t is sad made formal demand that
the police official be retired The mayor de-
cilned to say what he intended to do in the
matter. The mayor denied that Luetgerts
attorneys had called to demand Schaaks
removal. He said they simply wanted the
North-slde police Inspector to retract sew
eral statements attributed to him in regard
to Juror Harley and Judge Goodrich.

Having Done Everything Possible to
End the Cuban War, She VIII Not
Tolerate Intervention.
ANSWER MAKES 1000 WORDS
AND ITS TEXT HAS BEEN CABLED IN
CIPHER TO WASHINGTON.
New Servian Cabinet FOrmed-Tw0
Reasons for the Resignation of
the Former Ministers.

MADRID, Oct. 2S.-After the Cabinet
meeting here yesterday, at which the re-
ply of Spain to the note of the United
States presented by the United States min
ister General Woodford, soon after his ar
rival in this country. was unanimously ap-
proved, General Woodford, it is said, cabled
two thousand words in cipher to Washing
ton. which it IS supposed was the text Of
the Spanish reply to the United States.
In the special note the government de-
clares that Spain has done all in her power
to end the war in Cuba, and cites the many
sacrifices which have been made by the
nation, the number of troops sent to Cuba
and the reforms which are to be carried
out in the island, which are fully described.
The note ends with the statement that
Spain will not admit the right of any
foreign power to interfere In any of her
affairs" 1t is asserted that the note will
probably be modified again as result Of
long conference between Senior Gullon, min
lister of foreign affairs, and Senor Moret,
minister of the colonies. Senor Moret to-
day received a cabegram from Lieutenant
General Weyler announcing that he Will
leave Havana on the 29th inst.
The instructions given to Marshal Blanco,
the new governor general of Cuba, are un-
uSL tWO uSduS-illlitldIy dllu pOlllCdl. III
the first Senior Moret, minister OF the coll
onies, ayers that his course Of action rests
exclusively upon the judgment of the gov
ernor general, but recommends that he con-
duct the war so that the condition Of the
troops and colonsts be bettered, and that
property be made safer. The second directs
that in the introduction of autonomy in the
island an appeal be made to all parties, all
being equal in the eyes of the mother coun-
try, but warns Marshal Blanco nor to ntrust
the work Of autonomy to the revOlutionists.
as that would be an insult to the loyal coli
onists.
El Liberal thinks a rupture is possible as
result of the negotiations which are about
to open between Spain and the United
States, and adds: I'VE ought to avoid this
rupture so far as duty and honor permit;
but though the government should act In a
spirit of moderation, the nation will under
no circumstances authorize the renuncia-
ton of Spanish rights" In conclusion, El
Liberal asks for the publication of the note
which the United States minister delivered
to the Spanish government, and 1T also asks
for statement of the policy the govern
ment intends to pursue toward the United
States
Ell TEMPO publishes with reserve the an
nouncement that the reply of the Spanish
government to the note of the United States
presented by the American minister declares
that if the United States does not stop the
sailing of filibustering expeditions from
right to search vessels anchoring in Cuban
waters.

TWO MEN PERISH.
Engineer and Fireman Lose Their
Lives in a Burning Building.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Two men lost their
lives in a fire early to-day on Broadway
near Ninth street. When the bodies were
discovered one was found in a standing
position, the upper part of the body bending
over a beam. The other was found at a
front window, indicating that the man had
struggled to reach the air and escape the
flames. The fire was in three-story and
attic brick building owned by the Sailors

by the collar-and-cuff laundry of Gardner

Courteonr. but Firm.

NEW YORK, Oct. pa dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: Spain's reply to
the note of the United States limiting at
mediation in Cuba and requesting an answer
before the end Of this month was placed
to-day in the hands of the American minis
ter here, General Woodford The draft OF
the reply made by Foreign Minister Gullon
was unanimously approved yesterday by the
Cabinet. The communication is courteous
in tone, but very determined in rejecting
the purport OF the American note. Spain
resolutely asserts her determination to set
tie the Cuban question herself without
foreign assistance or interference OF any
kind. She declines to fix any date for the
pacification Of Cuba, which she proposes to
bring about as she sees fit by force of arms
and by political reforms, eliminating in
autonomy, combined. While regretting the
losses and damages the insurrection has In
flicted on foreigners, Spain argues that this
would not have happened If International
law had been observed by the United States
especially.
The press to-day unanimously approves
the attitude of the Sagasta Cabinet as be-
ing in harmony with national sentiment,
the people having become weary of his
predecessors policy of continuous conces-
Sions to American diplomacy.
The council of ministers decided yeSter-
day to postpone the drawing up of the COM
templated memorandum to the European
powers on the Cuban question, and on the
relations of Spain with the United States.
Future events will determine the time for
sending this circular. Since her recent
sounding of European governments Spain
has come to the conclusion that most OF
the powers are not disposed to go beyond
purely platonic demonstrations OF SYM
pathy for the Spanish cause in the West
Indies The SDanidrdS seem to be con-
scious that their relations with America
are approaching q grave and critical stage.
