er the island has been ruined and the in
surgents have sacrificed many lives.
\ well known American. who has long
resided in the island, expresses the opin-
ion that real differences exist among the
resident Spaniards as to the desira bility
OF autonomy. He believes it Will not
prove satisfactory to the radical element
among the Spaniards in Cuba. After au-
tonomy has been granted and peace is pro-
claimed he believes the radical element
will probably try to promote another in
surrection. In that event the conservative
element and the producing body of the
Spanish population would at once de-
mand annexation to the United States.
This view is adhered to by many residents
Spaniards of prominence. The rumor that
Marshal Martinez Campos would probably
be Teappointed to command in Cuba gave
great satisfaction to the native islanders,
but the Spaniards openly expressed their
disapproval as they consider his weakness
was the original cause Of the revolt. They
hold Campos responsible for the extension
of the insurrection into Western Cuba.

A CHICAGO CONFEDERATION.
Fire in the Dexter Pavilion at the
stock Yards

chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 6.-Fanned by strong
wind from the west, fire which broke out
in the Dexter park pavilion at the Union
stock yards this afternoon, spread to the
district between Halstead street and
Union avenue and Forty-third and Forty
fifth streets, destroying business houses
and residences.
The worst sufferers among the residents
were those living on Halsted street, be-
tween Forty-third and Forty-fourth
streets. Business houses and residences
alike, all of them of frame structure fur
nished ready material for the flames
which ragged from o'clock until 5, and
then yielded to the vigorous work of the
= fire department.
A number of persons were injured dur
ing the fight with the flames, and one man.
according to an employe of the stock
yards was burned to death.
Dead-Unknown man, burned to death.
Injured-Patrick Casey, employe of
stock yards: not serious.
Maurice Maloney, fireman, overcome by
smoke and heat; will recover.
p. F. Shearn, broken leg.
Henry Walsh, employe of stock yards,
slightly burned.
William Donahue, fireman, injured by
falling timber: will recover
The Dexter park pavilion stands only
few yards southwest of the main horse
market, which is an immense frame affair,
covered by a huge dome. For the latter
meant the destruction of the greater por-
ton of the stock yards. The pavilion con-
tanned 500 horses, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that they were rescued.
AS it was, many were burned to death.
Patrick Casey an empioye of the stock
yards, discovered the fire. and after turn
ing in the alarm, ran with three compan-
ions into the pavilion to release the horses.
Many of them were in pens, and it was an
easy matter to turn them loose, but very
difficult thing to get them out of the build
ing. Casey and his companions narrowly
escaped being trampled to death by the
maddened brutes as they endeavored to
drive them through the doors. Casey was
knocked down once and badly bruised, and
Henry Walsh, who was also trying to re-
lease the horses, was injured in the same
manner. 1t was found impossible to get
a single horse to leave the pavilion until
the man by main strength dragged one
through the doorway, and then the others
followed rapidly. The flames spread so
rapidly that not all of them could be saw
ed but it is thought that many were de-
stroyed.
The chief loss resulting from the fire is
as follows; Dexter park pavilion, consist
ing of eight barns, $4,000; Armour & Co.'S
sheds near pavilion $500; feed in pavilion,
5000; freight cars belonging to the Union
Stock Yards and Transit Company and the
Chicago and Alton railroad, $1,000. Twen-
ty-eight residences and stores were dam
aged by the flames, the loss in each partic-
ular instance being small.

Of the United States of America have
always TO prevail in the end. And 1t
shows, in fine, and in no lesser a degree
than the Cuban problem, that oil at
tempts, no matter how much accompan-
led by noise and alleged popular support,
TO force upon the administration an un-
desired attitude or to dictate to it the
manner and the form in which it's duty
must be performed, is foolish TO the eX-
treme and dangerous even If It is sin
cere.
Had 1t not been for this giant, VINO is
called the American government; had it
happened for its executive and diplomatic
department to be entrusted to less faithful
hands or to persons Of less supreme man
liness and political honesty than President
Cleveland and his Secretary OF State, Mr..
Olney, the fate of SanEuily would have
been very different. Thanks TO the cour-
age of those two great Americans, to
their wonderful power of resistance to
improper pressure from whatever side ana
to their kindness toward the prisoner in
whom they saw only o felow-citizen, Ju-
lilo Sanguilly Is not still, lingering inside a
Spanish fortress, or serving a sentence as
cruel rs ignominous.
The Intervention of the Achilles Of the
Cuban war of lS6S-7S saved Sanguilly upon
the field of battle. The intervention Of
the Achilles of the American diplomacy
saved him now from his enemies, and per-
haps also from his friends"

NO DICTATOR IN COSTA RIGA.
Senior CaIvo Declares the Report to
Re without Foundation.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Senor CaIvo the
Costa Rican representative here states
positively that the reports that President
Igleslas of Costa Rica has proclaimed
himself dictator are without foundation.
Mr.. Calvo received advicea from his gov
ernment to-day, which show conclusively
that no dictatorship exists. He has also
received a copy of the official decree which
doubtless gave rise to the reports of "a die
tatorship. The decree was issued by the
permanent commission of congress, and
not by the President, and is limited to a
suspension of the right of habeas corpus
for sixty days from Sept IS. This, the
decree states, is in accordance with sec
tion of the constitution. The decree
gives the president no unusual power. 1t
is signed by President Iglesias and is the
only decree Of an extraordinary character
ISSUED of late.
Mr.. Calvo states that the disorder which
had occurred at San Domingo was tempo
rary and wholly in the nature OF "A local
riot. 1t was this riot which gave occa-
sion, under the constitution, for the sus-
pension of the writ of habeas corpus Mr.
Calvo believes that the suspension win be
vacated even before the sixty days of its
existence expires, as the need for it has
passed away.

INCREASE IN NEW CASES.
YESTERDAY a RECORD BREAKER
AT NEW ORLEANS.

Rntc Small in Proportion to Num-
her of New Cases.
NV orleans, La, Oct. Given as ear
~ as o'clock this afternoon the day had
nroy.l a record breaker, both as to the
number of cases and as TO the number of
deatus that had been reported. The in
crease Of cases to-day was not unexpected.
The weather has been warm during the
afternoon especially, and the large terri
tory the board of health has to cover
makes perfect, scrutiny impossible. Germs
are hoiag distributed which, if the totality
Of cases was fewer, would easily be res
trained While the number of cases un-
der treatment to-day are in the neighbor-
hood Of 25O, there are many houses which
have not yet been disinfected, but in which
the patients have been declared well.
Less restraint than usual is imposed on
the inmates of such premises and the re-
suit has been that the number of foci has
been increased. But the total death rate is
still small in proportion to the number of
cases This is the record to-day:

SAUSAGE MANS TRIAL.
The Veracity OF Witnesses For De-
fense Attacked.

The Veracity of Witnesses For De-
fcnse Attacked.
Chicago, Oct. 6-The testimony in the
Luetgert trial to-day was more interesting
to the general public than it has been at
any time for the last two weeks. The dry
technical evidence of the experts gave way
to impeachment evidence offered by the
state against the witnesses for the de-
fense who had stated on the stand that
Mrs Luetgert had been seen in the vicini-
ty of Kenosha, Wis, within a few days
after the murder is said to have been COM
mitted. SeyRal of those who claimed to
have seen the woman around Kenosha far
ed badly at the hands of their neighbors,
and Witness Scholey, the principal wit
ness for the defense on the Kenosha story,
had his character torn to shreds. One of
his neighbors who testified against him,
said he did not know what was meant by
Scholey's 'veracity," but made himself
clear in the. next breath by adding: II
do know though, that Scholey is no good"
Evidence was introduced to show that
Luetgert had not put any grease or chip
ped bene into his watts for making soap on
the night of May !, as his business part
ner, William Charles, had testified, be-
cause it had all been carted away on the
morning before. IV was also shown that
Luetgert had no occasion to make any
soap, for when the factory was seized by
q deputy sheriff several days after the
murder is said to have been committed a
great many barrels of soap belonging TO
him were found in the basement of the
factory.

to Casselman, on account of the fire which
started In that vicinity yesterday, and
which ragged all night
The Nation river, small stream, passes
through Casselman and the wood work of
the iron. bridge over it has been buried
down. Details of the damage done are
still meager, but it Is known that three
villages, Casselman, South Indian and
Cheney, have all been swept away.
The people of Casselman, about 500, arc

anything to eat.
At South Indian, which has a popula-
tion of 400 or 5OO there are only three or
four houses standing. South Indian is
several miles from Casselman. Cheney,
another small village, was burned down.
The fire covered a distance of about
twenty-five miles. Casselman had seven
ty-nve or one hundred residences, lum-
Der mill, grist mill, furniture factory and
several other business places of impor-
tance.
Assistance is being forwarded to the
homeless from Ottawa, and fund has

fires They are those of Mrs. Levele
Miss STILES, her sister, and Mrs. Levlle's s
two children, one an infant and the other
u years old. The women rushed from
their house to escape TO the clearing, but
the smoke surrounding them, they lost
their way and ran into the flames. Had
they remained In their dwelling a t South
Indian they would have been safe, as 1t

main Of Casseman. Sixty of the most des-
ttute were brought here this afternoon
