WILD WAR RUMORS
GROWING OUT OF wooDFoRD'S
MISSION
European Assertions Of an Intended
Interference in Cuban Affairs
Excite Comment

BERLIN. Sept. 21-The feature Of the
Berlin and Frankfurt stock exchanges
today was the weakness of American
securities, due to the report of the
Temps, Of Paris, yesterday in dispatch
from San Sebastian, in which it was
stated the United States had practically
sent Spain an ultimatum threatening to
interfere if the insurrection in Cuba is
not suppressed by the end Of October
TAYLOR WON'T TALK
LONDON, Sept. 21.-Hannis Taylor,
formerly United States Minister to
Spain, arrived here last evening and
called at the United States embassy to-
day. In an interview Mr.. Taylor said:
THE grave negotiations pending be-
tween the United States and Spain as
to the war in Cuba are now entirely in
the hands of General Woodford, who
has had fruitful experience, both in
peace and war, and would be equal to the
occasion whatever 1t may be-"
Mr.. Taylor was questioned with regard
to the accuracy of the statements con-
tained in dispatch from San Sebastian
to LIE Temps Of Paris, purporting to give
the substance Of an interview which took
place Sunday between the United States
Minister and the Minister Of Foreign AZ
fairs, at which General Woodford is said
to have insisted courteously but firmly
upon the necessity of terminating the
war with Cuba and to have declared tha t

October the United States will feel justi-

dependence of Cuba. In reply to a ques-
tion the former minister said: my lips
are sealed until after my arrival in
Washington" While Mr.. Taylor refused
to discuss the matter his manner tended
to confirm the story told by the corre-
spondent of the Paris Temps.

1T was with feelings Of the most pro-

AN ANARCHISTS SALUTE
LONDON, Sept. 21.-A dispatch to the
Daily vail from Vienna says:
1t is reported that, as Emperor Will
liam and Emperor Francis Joseph were
leaving the station at Buda-Pesth a
sharp detonation was heard, which was
followed by thick cloud OF dust and
smoke. The crowd took fright, broke
through the military Gordon and
swarmed around the imperial carriages.
Emperor Francis Joseph was greatly
agitated and shouted to the police to
keep the people back Some arrests are
reported, but owing to the silence main
tained by the officials, it is difficult to
ascertain details of the affair. The
newspaper Werner Journal was con-
hscated for publishing kilograms as to
the occurrence.
The enthusiasm Of the people visibly
pleased the monarchs, and Emperor
William showed signs of the greatest
satisfaction.
Emperor Francis Joseph met the Ger
man Emperor at the door of the salon
carriage, and after cordial greetings had
been exchanged, the two Emperors
passed in front of the guard of honor.
Emperor William greeted the Austrian
Archdukes when this ceremony was con-
cluded and also shook hands with the
state dignitaries. Then the monarchs
were heartily cheered by the crowd. en-

An Effort Being Made to
Partially Restore 1t
BUILT IN A FAULTY MANNER
NEEDS A ROOF GREATLY-CoL-
UMNS ARE STILL SOUND
Ruinous Veins Of Schist Are Only Too
Apparent Among the Majority
OF the Marble Blocks

ATHENS, Sept 4.-(special Corre-
spondsnce to The Herald.) The Par
thenon is doomed. I do not mean that
it will fall tomorrow or next week, but
it's decay is as sure and certain as any,
thing can be in the world. To-day the
effort to repair the famous structure
seems as puny as the mimic thunder Of
the stage sounds when likened to the
tremendous sound blast of Jove. 1t is
doomed too, because the early builders
thereof, like the modern contractor of
this era's civiliza ton, builded rather for
appearance than stability.
The outside marble blocks of the Par
thenon are sound enough, but it is as II
some giant worm had eaten out the
heart of the remainder and only the
shell was left. 1t Is, think, the saddest
the most dispiriting sight that one who
is familiar with the ancient greatness
of Greece, the fame of her temples, and
the glories of the Parthenon in the days
when it really was what it was built for,
can possibly see. The whole western
facade is dsf1gured by an immense scaf-
folding, built in the strongest possible
way from enormous beams that were
brought all the way from America to
serve Athens. This mighty scaffolding
subserves a twofold purpose; primarily.
1t enables the architects to replace GER
tain rotten and broken architrave blocks
with fresh blocks; but its important Sec
ondary purpose is to serve as prop to
the entire entablature, and prevent the
collapse of the building in case of an
earthquake.

ntablature are rotten throughout. In
many cases these rotten stones were
broken by the recent earthquakes into
many pieces, though by the veriest mi
racle these pieces still cling together.
AS is well known, the epistyle consists
of three huge blocks that stand on their
narrow edges side by side and span the
ntercolumniations. OF these three
blocks the outside ones alone are COM
paratively sound, while the interior and
inside blocks are in most ruinous con-
dition. All of these inside blocks are
to be replaced by new ones that are now
lying on the ground below ready to be
hoisted into position as soon as the
mighty derrick that is to lift them on
high shall have arrived.
The thought of new epistyle blocks in
the Parthenon is shocking to most souls,
and yet it is a choice between that and
immediate ruin The new blocks will be
colored with oil ard wax in order to rob
them of their glaring whiteness and
newness. But even more sorrowful Is
the fact that, though this ruin may be
stayed for one or two centuries yet to
come, still in the end the Parthenon
must collapse unless virtually the whole
entablature be replaced by new and
sourd stones.
Am l asked for the reason for this
ruinous condition of the Parthenon?
There are several reasons, several caus-

operation for many years. though all un-

who employed only the best of material
in it's construction. 1t occasions shock
to discover that, though this is true in
general, yet it is true with certain limit
ing qualifications, because OF which the
building is now threatened with ruin.
In point of fact, the builders of the Par
thenon employed first-class marble
only on the outside of the building, only
where the eye could see 1t.
In the Pentelic marble there are veins
Of schist that disfgure and ruin many a
fair block. Visitors will remember the
many unfluted drums of columns that
lie here and there around the temple.

Indeed, one of the new epistyle blocks
