On the Whole 1t Is Better Than the
Old One.
Havana, via Key West, Fla, Oct c.
El Diario de la Marina, the organ of the
reform party, commenting on the new
Spanish cabinet in its leading editorial
to-day says THE fall of the headless
and disconnected conservative party means
a transition from a dark night to sunny
day; it means a radical transformation
of method. Public opinion had received
the tidings with great satisfaction, as in
dicating the re-estab ablishment of peace
The list of the ministers is a clear indi-
cation that the platform of the new cab
met is pure and logical autonomy for
Cuba. We have absolute confidence in
a prompt re-estabishment of peace. The
rise in Spanish securities show that the
public in Spain and abroad has great con-
fldence in Senor Sagastas cabinet"
The Union Constitutional, the organ of
the conservative party says: 'The change
in the Spanish cabinet is of minor i'm
portance, as all true Spaniards must have
the same patriotism i'm defending the high
ideals of the nation
FL Pals, the organ of the autonomist
party, says it>sympathizes with the new
cabinet for having declared in favor of
autonomy and hopes Senior Sagasta will
make good in power the promises he gave
while In the opposition.
La Lucha says: This is the last
chance in a game OF the gravest import
ance for the future, and for the history
of Spain, and her colonies. Friends Of the
insurgent cause. while not disgusted with
the new cabinet, say they are not salts

The burned structure was of wood, three
stories high, and was but recently compile
ted. The origin of the fire is unknown.
The watchman saw the flames bursting
from the upper windows while he was in
a building some distance away. There
was no fire fighting apparatus at the
school, and the buildings being over
miles from town, no aid could be rendered.
In a short time the entire annex was
enveloped in flames and in less than twen-
ty minutes from the time the fire was
seen the building was destroyed. Nothing
whatever was saved. There were about
twenty-five other persons in the school
who escaped in their night clothes with
the greatest difficulty.
Search for the bodies was commenced as
soon as possible, and late this afternoon
all had been recovered and were imme-
diateIy buried. Each was burned beyond
recognition.
The loss on the building is $25,0O0.

A Well Horror,

Geo. B. Dean, who visited at Derby
Sunday, tells Of the finding OF the
bodies Of man and woman 10 a well
three miles east of that place Sunday
morning. The man died from inhal-
ing damp and the woman met death
IN the same manner while trying to
rescue him.
Saturday afternoon Frank Moon
was engaged in cleaning out a well on
his farm. He was working at the
bottom of the well, which had been
culbed only a few feet above the
water. A covering rested on the
curbing and Moon was standing on
this. He lifted the pump pipe out of
the covered portion Of the well,
which caused the damp to rise. Moon
felt the foul air instantly and at
tempted to climb out Of the well by
means of a ladder. He had gotten
about ten feet up the ladder when
the damp Overcame him and he fell
backwards. His feet caught in the
rounds Of the ladder and his BODY
hung head dOwnNards. Moons house
keeper. a widow named Bell, heard
his frightened cries as he began as
cending the ladder, and she ran to bis
assistance. She found him hanging
on the ladder and Immediately went
down to assist him out. The damp
by that time had taken entire posses
sion Of the well and as she descended
into it she was overcome and fell to
the bottom, distance of twenty or
thirty feet, breaking her neck.
The two bodies remained in the
well until the following morning,
when one of the neighborS went to
the place and inquired of Mrs. Bells
boy, child three years OF age, where
Moon was. The child replied that
Mr.. Moon and his mother had gone
down into the well and had not re-
turned yet. An investigation fol-
lowed and the two bodies were found
as described.
Mrs. Bell was a widowed woman
who occupied the farm with her hus-
band until the atter's death. Bell
died short while ago and Moon, who
owned the farm, moved onto the place
and retained Mrs. Bell as his house
keeper. Moon was unmarried. Mrs.
Bell leaves only the 3-year.Old boy.
When the neighbOr arrivel at the
place Sunday morning he found
the boy trying to devise some means
of getting fodder to the stock on the
farm. The boy was unconscious of
the fate of his mother and Mr.. Noon
until their bodies had been recovered, !
He spent the night in the house alone
without thinking anything serious
was the matter.
