DELAY is CERTAIN.

President Mckinley Will Not Take Action
to Cuban Affairs Until u New Minister
to Madrid Is Installed.
Washington, June 16.-It can be
stated as the result of Tuesdays cabi-
net meeting that no important action
relating to Cuba will be taken by the
administration until the new minister
to Madrid has been chosen and is at
his post ready for the duties of the
mission. This fact is significant, in
that it means that some weeks must
elapse before the president will take
any action whatever vital to the rela-
tions of this government and Cuba
The question was discussed briefly
yesterday, but the situation so far as
Cuban action is concerned is just the
same as it has been for weeks The
difficulty of finding a man satisfactory
to the president to fill the post at
Madrid delays action and Mr.. McKin-
ley is no nearer a selection for the post
than he was at the beginning of the
administration. The delay is some
what vexatious to the administration,
which is anxious to begin negotiations
with Spain looking to the amelioration
of the condition of affairs in Cuba as
speedily as possible.

spooner's Proposal Not Endorsed.

Washington, June 16.-The republi-
can caucus Monday night determined
not to incorporate in the tariff bill the
amendment proposed by Senator
Spooner to postpone for six months
the time when certain features of the
sugar schedule should go into effect.
with the intention of compelling tn
trust to dispose of the surplus sugar
that has been imported pending the
consideration of the tariff bill at a
rate which would not allow it a great
profit. The position taken by the SEN
ators was that it would be impractica-
BILE to have various portions of the bill
go into effect at different times.

HOW IT WAS DONE.
Details of tho Suicide of barney Barnatost
the Diamond King.


Funchal, Madeira, June 16.-The
following details have been obtainedl
of the suicide of Barney Barnato while!
on the passage here from Cape Town.
Barnato, who had been in i'll health
for some time past, seemed to improve
after leaving Cape Town, but he was
never left alone and some one was
continually detailed to watch him
Monday, between and o'clock in the,
afternoon, he seemed to be in very
good spirits and was walking up and.
down the deck on passengers arm.
Suddenly Barnato asked his companion
to tell him the time. Before he re-,
ceived a reply he wrenched his arm
away and jumped overheard.
The fourth officer jumped overheard
after him, but failed to save the life of
the South African speculator, as heavy
seas were running aud the vessel was
steaming at the rate of II knots an
hour. So soon as possible the steamer
was stopped and life boat pulled to
the spot where the two men were last
seen. The fourth officer was rescued
in an exhausted condition and later
the body of Barnato was recovered,
floating head downwards. His remains
have been embalmed and will be taken
to England on board the Scot. Mrs.
Barnato and her children were also on
| board the Scot.

1RIEp TO Kill EAuRE.
Failure of nm Attempt to AHsnssinnte
President of France.

Paris, June 14.-An attempt was
made Sunday to assassinate Felix
kaure, president of the French repub-
lie, while he was en- route to Long
Champs to witness the Grand Prix.
While M. Faure's carriage was passing
a thicket near la Cascade restaurant, in
the Bois de Bologne, bomb, which sub
sequently proved to be piece of tubing
about six inches long and two inches
in diameter, with thickness of half an
inch, charged with powder and swan
shot, exploded. No one was injured by
the explosion. A man in the crowd sus-
pected as the prime mover was ar
rested. He gave his name as Gallet and
made only the briefest replies to ques1
tions put to him by the police. Gallet
said that he had no occupation, but re-
sided at Levalers-Perret. The police
are making thorough search of his
| lodgings. He is believed to be insane,
for he shouted as the carriage passed
along so loudly as to attract general
attention in the crowd.
The news of the attempt spread like
wild-fire through the city, and when NJ.
Faure returned to theElysee the streets
along the route where it was known he
would drive were crowded with people
who cheered him vociferously.
The bomb was a clumsilymade affair,
to which piece of fuse was attached,
and the fuse was probably lighted by
u paper fixed in the end of stick as
soon as the head of the procession came
into view. The presumption is that at
the moment the fuse was lighted the
culprit fed, and in any case the bomb
could not have done much harm. In
the thicket where the police found the
remnants of the bomb, they found a
pistol on which were engraved the
words: Mort A Felix Faure," and

New York, June 16.-On the steamer
Alene, which arrived Tuesday from
Costa Rica, there came safe guarded
by two United States secret service
detectives. 1t contained nearly $780,
600 in Costa Rica counterfeit money.
Chief Hazen was informed early in
May that the Costa Rica authorities
had arrested two men who were con

provisional government and had found
upon them thousands of counterfeit
notes These, it was learned, were
made in great quantities in this city

are willing to become farmers, as our

are bad and fit only for grazing and

tried to plant, but the sun in July and
August scorches everything. There is
not enough water for agricultural life
There are only few places where even
the cattle can get living in summer
time.

to come and shake your hand and beg
you to help my people. J want the
good white men in congress to let us

let our little remnant live in peace?
The white men who came among Us

PERSONALLY, my own belief is that
there is God, a Supreme God, and,

urge my people to attend churches and
become church members. AS people
we have permanent convictions. We
believe in Supreme God, and we have
way of approaching Him. The sun
dance was one way. Personally, be-
lieved in the sun dance in the old days,
and have been prominent in it. We
have sort of rude cross-whether it
means cross or Motive have somehow
got the idea to put medicine and some
other things on the top of tree in a
sort of cross shape. 1t resembles some
thing like the cross of the Christian
people, but we do not know how we
got the idea. Anyway, we got the idea
of putting something on the tree when
we worship God, and believe we prac-
tice the religion more strictly than
white people do; that is, we do what
us or not, we do it,"
