Havana. Aug. 1o.-The official nn- Ronneement of the assassination of Se- nor canovas, the Spanish premier, was published today in the Official Gazatte and the other local newspapers. As mark of respses to the deceased s.ates- man, the stores are closed and the Stock Exchange and Produce Exchange have suspended business. The leading &hor- oughfares are being hung with black drapery and other signs of mourning are displayed about the city. The crime of Golll is being earnestly denounced on all sides.

 As soon as the governors attention was called to thel above he wrote Mir. Waller, asking if by those high in authority he referred to him. Today the governor re- ceived reply from MT. Waller. who says:
 'I never had any conversation with yolI. or communication from you, in reference to the back tax law. or the appointment of the commissioners there under"
 This is as plain and emphatic as lam gnage can make it. and now people who take an interest in politics around the capital have their curiosity aroused as to whom MT Waller did refer. MT. Waller says it was not the governor. As the law was not passed and approved until Feb ruary 3, and as the state tax commits sioner was not appointed until after the law passed, it could not have been Judge Wood, who did not have even an intimation of his appointment until lit was made.

A VERY GRAVE ERROR.
The Schooner Blanche Morgan Released From
 Custody By Government Orders.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The government will order the release of the schooner Blanche Morgan, now detained at Bridge port, Conn.,. as a suspected fibusterer. Capt Verry, representing the government at the Bridgeport ammunition works. was at the department today and stated that the ammunition found on the Nor gan belonged to the government and was being shipped to New York. It may be that the government will be called upon to pay bill for demurrage growing out of the comedy of errors involving the de- tention of the Morgan.
 It is said at the war department that the Morgan is powder boat belonging to the Dupont Powder company, and that for many years she has been engaged in the sole business of carrying powder from the Dupont mills in Delaware to the am munition factories in Bridgeport, Corn. The powd.T boat is surrounded by regu- lations and marks that show her readily among other water crafts. On her return the Morgan had been accommodating the Dupont customers by taking their fixed ammunition away from their factories and delivering it to the government ar senals or outgoing steamers at New York. It is thought at the department that such a boat would be we'll known at Br.dg- port.
 The American Ordnance company, through Vice-President Verry. has besn actively at work to secure the rslC se of the Morgan. Upon the representations ot MT. Verry the war department, last tJ.it Sent a couple of decidedly p3sdt.y.e -c-' grams to the treasury officials at r. ss--8 port requesting the prompt release q h , schooner. This was ordered this sf er-- noon.

THE FUNERAL TRAIN MOVES.
Sonora Canoyas Finds Relief in Tears-Stari-
 ling Declaration.

Madrid Aug. 10.--A special funeral train awaited the arrival of the cortege at Sumarlagus. Almost at the very mo- ment of the transfer of the coffin from the funeral cart to the train foreigner was arrested at the telegraph office. He is suspected of being an accomplice of the assassin.
 Sonora Canovas watched by lh- body of her husband for two nights, one night with Senor Castellar and the other with Senor Casteliano. She absolutely re- fused to take either food or rest, but di- rected all details of the funeral and only broke down today on the road to slmaf- ragua, when a severe nervous fit was happily relieved by flood of teas.
 The Marquis de Justo. the court physi- elan, embalmed the body. The post nor tenn examination showed that the de- ceased was in an extremely healthy state and that the brain was unusually large. It showed also that any of the three wounds would alone have proved fatal. At the special request of senora cano- vas, the remains will lie in state at the private instead of the official residence of the deceased.

baggage and freight are now waiting at the entrance to White Pass in Alaska to the Yukon river. and that many more are preparing to join them, deem it proper to call the attention of all who contemplate making the trip to the ex- posture. hardships, suffering and danger incident thereto at this advanced period of the season, even should they succeed in crossing the mountains. To reach Dawson City. when over the pass, TOO miles of difficult navigation on the Yukon river without adequate means of trans-s portation will still be before them. and it is doubtful If the journey can be com p1eted before the river is closed by ice. I am moved to draw public notice to these conditions by the gravity of the condi- tion of persons confined in the noun tainous regions during four or five months of Arctic winter where no help can reach them. no matter how great the need.

icH HALTED FOR A TIME

Asheville. s. C.. Aug lO.-On Sunday Bob Bracket. on his way to Ivy town ship from Asheville, met pretty Kitty Henderson, daughter of a well to do and respectable farmer living near Weaver vile, eight miles north of Asheville. He choted her into insensibility, outraged her person and left her unconscious.
 In q few hours bands of men were look ing for negro answering the meagre description Miss Henderson was able to give in moments of consciousness, but it was not until today that he was found. thirty miles away, at the hons of a negro preacher, in bed. He made no re- sstance and confessed that he was the man wanted. He was at once taken to the home of his victim and the young lady re-affirmed positively that he was the man. The crowd outside had by this time learned of the negros identification and loud cries were raised against him. Deputy Mcdonald stated to the crowd that the negro would be taken to Ashe- vile.
 T will pledge myself that the com-  missioners will call on the first of next week for his trial" said the officer and with his captured negro stepped out of the house.
 As the negro stepped from the door. and exclaimed: q prayed in my helpless ness that God would spare my life, and send friends to avenge me, and now hang him or burn him. and she fell back into her mothers arms half un- conscious.
 CITES dTOSe- I1dliB Oulll
 Deputy Williams broke into the din with the remark: Men, if you hang him you are all known anFwill be tried for murder"
 ""That's all right" replied the mad dened crowd, we'll take care of that"
 But there was waver of hesitation when Walter Van Diver, a prominent citizen of Weaverville, rose in his stir rups and with a few ringing words to the men to save the fair name of the county from what would be crime, caused the crowd to become quiet. In the hesitation of the moment the negro was thrown on a horse, back of a deputy, and the three hundred men of the neigh- borhood falling behind the officers and prisoners came into Asheville where. he was taken to the county jail. On the way in, the negro confessed that he was Miss Hendersons assailant.
 Court will be convened probably to- morrow to try Brachett.

Montgomery. Aug. 1O-(special)-Th enemies of the state administration have been highly elated over the speech on the tax commissions law credited to Hon. Chas. E. Waller by the Eutaw Mirror. The language attributed to MT Waller, who was a member of the legislature that passed the bill was as follows:
 He, MT Waller. was opposed to the law and intended voting against it, untl he was approached by those high in au- thority who assured him that the law wa s not intended for general enforcement at all, but only for the cities and mining cen- ters where large amounts of money. bcrpds and solvent creditors were he d by capitalists and wholesale deaIers--that it was not intended to, and would mot be, enforced in Greene anld Hale counties. nor in any part of the black~or agricultural
