AN ENGLISH OPINION.

London, Oct. IA leading London diplomat, discussing the crisis in Spanish affairs, said to 9 representa- tive of the Associated Press today: s4I believe the change in the Spanish cabinet will result in the recall of Captain-General Weyler from Cuba and the substitution of Marshal Blanco for him, for Sagasta, the new premier, personally dislikes Weyler. Sagasta has been informed ai,thoritativeiy that the Cubans will accept autonomy on the withdrawal of the Spanish troops, although they have protested that they will not do so, but I doubt if Spain will consent to these meas ures.''

CONJECIORES AS TO CUBA
Probable Early Release of
 American Prisoners.
And An Amelioration of the Condi- tiens of Cuban Prisoners An Englishman's Guess at the Policy Of the New Ministry.

Madrid, Oct. 4-The new ministry of Spain is constituted as follows: Senor Sagasta, president of the council of ministers; Senor Cullen, minister for foreign affairs; Senor Grozard minister of justice; General Correa minister of marine; Senor Puigcervot minister of finance; Senor Capedepon, minister of the interior; Count Xigus- na, minister of public works; Senor Morel, minister for the colonies
 The ministers, after an informal meeting, proceeded to the palace and took the oath of office.
 HOPE FOR PRISONERS. Washington, Oct. 4-One result of the formation of the Sagasta cabinet in Spain, it is believed, will be the granting of amnesty to most, if not all, the American prisoners held iG Cuba, and the pardon of many Cubans ccn1 demned to life Imprisonment on the Island of Cueta. Pending the forma- ] tion of the Sagasta cabinet there has been no official fntimation that such action would be taken, but it is said to be a natural and necessary part of the new Spanish policy involving the withdrawal of General Weyler and the l adopting of more conciliatory plans.
 The Competitor prisoners, it Is ex- pected, will be released early and Miss l Cisneros also.
 Concerning pending claims, such as l that in the case of De Ruiz, it is said i that commission will probably be l proposed to deal with all claims aris- i ing during the rebellion, and there are
 indimatiOns that steps towards the i creation of such commission are
 now under way. Although there is continued reticence at the state de-
 partment concerning Spanish Cuban
 affairs, it is understood that the gov

 Spain will offer autonomy to Cuhn

A Revolving Crime.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 27.-Pas-
quelle Dadario was hanged in the
county prison this morning for the MUIR
der of Modestino MOTTO. The drop fell
at 1905. The crime for which Dadario
suffered the penalty occurred on Janu-
airy 25, 1887. On that morning the
body of Modestino MOTTO, aged three
years, was found frozen stiff in an alley.
The little body was identified by Mr..
MOTTO as that of his child, who had
been missing for two days. Dadario
had taken the child out for walk, un.
der the pretense of buying it candy.
The brute led the little fellow into an
unoccupied house and there committed
a fendish assault upon him. Then az.
ter strangling the child to death he
threw the body from the roof of the
house into the alley where it was sub
sequently found.
The condemned man walked from
his cell through the Jail corridor to the
scaffold with an Italian priest at each
side. His dull intellect seemed not to
grasp the situation. He walked unsup-
ported up the steps TO the scatfold, and,
without word being spoken, the black
cap was placed over his head, the rope
was adjusted about his neck, the trap
was dropped from under him, aud with
two and half minutes from the time
the murderer left bis cell, his body was
dangling in the air and all was over.

A SHARP TURN IN WHEAT
Through an unexpectedly sharp ad-
vance at Liverpool yesterday morning
the New York wheat market became
very active aud strong, stimulated ad-
ditionally by large foreign buying or
ders and talk OF good cash purchases
west for export. The first upward
swing of prices carried September up to
10; cents, or Ii cents higher than it had
closed on Saturday. This in turn was
followed during the morning by slow
reaction to 794 cents, due to realizing
efforts, and an increase of 707 900 BUSH
els in the domestic visible supply, in
stead of the small decrease expected.
During the early rise "shorts" were
eager buyers, and tranactions ran up
into large figures, helped by the activity
of foreign demands.

EXPLOSION IN A CHURCH.-An ex
plosion of gas in the Paschalville
Methodist Episcopal Church, at Seven.
teth street aud Woodland avenue,
Philadelphia, last evening wrecked
several handsome memorial windows
and damaged the interior of the church
to the probable extent OF $1,000. Sexton
John Schotield noticed strong odor OF
gas when he went to open the building
for the regular Monday evening meet
ing. AS he entered he lighted match
with the idea of locating the leak, tut
he was scarcely inside the door when
there was a terrific explosion. There
was roar like that of a battery of ar
tillery and in an instant the front ana
side windows were blown out with o
crash and part of the front door wa
hurled into the street. Schofield rushed
out amid the flying wreckage, but as if
by miracle he escaped injury. When
the neghbors reached the scene it was
found that the pulpit and organ loft
were ablaze. The flames were quickly
extiuguished, however, by firemen from
the engine house at Sixty-frst street
and Woodland avenue.
The church, known as the Sloan OF
Paschalvile, was newly fitted up few
months ago at cost of several thousand
dollars. The wrecked windows were
handsome and expensive stained glass
affairs, all being memorials erected by
member of the congregation.
1t is suppose that glass jet had been
carelessly turned off Sunday night and
as the church was tightly closed con-
siderable amount of gas had accumu-
lated. The damage will be repaired at
once.
