ONE OF MANY
The Great Ball Estate Is Simply a
MYTH

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.--The treas
Try department has had many inquiries
from time to time about the alleged es-
tate of one Joseph Ball of Philadelphia,
which Il supposed to be held in trust in
the TREASURY department. The letters
Ipeak of this trust and of an eighty four
year lease given by Mr.. Ball to certain
valuable property in Philadelphia. Some
time ago it was stated that ex-President
Harrison was interested as attorney in
the estate. Many hundreds of people
Ill over the country have been drawn
into the .truggle for the money which
they enormously imagine lies in the
treasury awaiting distribution. To all
Of these Inquiries replies are sent out
informing the "heirs" that there is no
such fund in the treasury and that the
pnly record in the treasury of Joseph
Ball of Philadelphia relates to a claim
OF $4,000 which he filed as an underwater
against the government in 1901 for car
goes seized by the French. The claim is
'ne of the ordinary French spoliation

MADRID, Oct. 10.--Captain General
Blanco will sail for Cuba on the 18th and
Captain General Weyler will return to
Spain Immediately, General Castellanos
assuming the direction of affairs in the
island until Blancos arrival.
The Marquis de Ahumade, who was
Captain General Weyler's second in
command, has resigned.
At a meeting of the cabinet yesterday
it was decided to send reinforcements to
the Philippine islands. Marshal Primo
Rivera, who succeeded General Blanco
as governor general of the Philippines,
will be recalled Immediately.
ENGLISH COMMENT
LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Times, COM
menting edtorially this morning on the
Cuban situation, says:
"If Senior Sagasta fails to adopt a
bold reform policy in Cuba likely to dis
arm American jingoism, it might turn
out to have been wiser to have left Gen
eral Weyler to finish the war after his
own fashion"
The Standard also asks why General
Weyler is recalled If it Is intended to
continue the campaign, and says: ut
seems only too plain that Senior Sagas-
ta's course hardly deserves the name of
policy. 1t is almost a device for parry
ing Americas importunate questions.
We suspect that General Woodford pre-
