WASHINGTON, Nov. l1.-Assurances nave
been received at the State Department that the
Competitor prisoners are to BIO released IRON

tell the source OF the information, but say they
are satisfied that II Ia absolutely correct. IL
probably came from the Spanish Minister. Tho
has not been confirmed BY the repre-
sentative OF the United States in Madrid or
Havana. When such confirmation comes it
will be made public. Til department also has
reason to believe that the postponement Of the
trial of the Competitor crew, which was set for
last Monday. was due to the intention to re-
lease the men without further formalities.
Much qualification is expressed by officials OF
the department over the manner In which the
Spanish Government has acted toward Cuba
since the installation OF the Liberal Ministry.
The revocation Of Weyler's concentration order
is considered n great victory for the United
States, as Gen. Woodford was instructed to i'm
press upon the Madrid authorities the earnest
desire of President Mckinley that tho order be
annullcd. Although disposed to be

gasta Ministry to put the promised reforms into

action of the Ministry concerning the concen-
tration order and the Competitor prisoners, to-
Gether with its display of regard for the wishes
Of this Government in recalling Weyler, shows
Il desire on the part of Spain TO continue in
friendly relations with the United States. Tho
tone of tho note sent to Minister Woodford in
answer TO his representations about Cuba is
much moro propitious for a continuation of
peace between the two nations than was sup.
posed from the cable message Of Gen. Woodford
containing a synopsis of the note. Altogether
the administration is very well satisfied with
tho way things arc going, but has not aban-
doncd its purpose to secure from Spain a recog-
milton of its good offices in settling the whole
Cuban question. 1t has been decided by the
President and the Cabinet that the best course
is to give Spain an opportunity Of redeeming its
promise TO give real reform to it's administra.
ton of Cuban affairs. If that promise is not
fulfilled within q reasonable time a new policy
will be adopted.

The village blacksmith was much impressed.
He paid the S. and went home to think. He
thought OF all the women that no knew. Some
of them had only one eye, some OF them had
only one hand. some of them had only one foot.
He dismissed all these. Then he considered the
others. There were many who had two eyes set
in their heads. two feet. two hands, u noso, two
cars. They wore dresses and had hair. 1t
might be any one of them-but no. this one. tho
clairvoyant had said. had journeyed over tho

his head. Then he started. 'Eurcka!" he
shouted. There was one Mrs. Rima, his house;

could be no mistake. Over the great water she
had journcyed. So the village blacksmith sat
him down and wrote a letter to Mrs. llima. He
told her that II she would give him back all of
the $40 she had not spent he would forgive her.
IL she didn't he would tell all the people
in the village that she was "a villain.
When Mrs. Rima got this letter she was
troubled. She went with it to Judge Tealo in
the Myrtle Avenue Police Court. She did not
know that a clairvoyant had put up the Job on
her. nor did the Justice, He said: Libel,
madam, libel She said she would pay the cost
of bringing the village blacksmith to terms.
The Justice issued n warrant for tho black
smith, and a court officer went up to Schuyler
county and got his man.
In the Myrtle Avenue Police Court, yesterday.
the village blacksmith, told the story OF the
clairyoyant; and said he guessed maybe the
had referred to. He wanted to take back what
he had said in the letter. Mrs. Rima said she
was indicated, and that that was all she
wanted. SO the village blacksmith was let go.
and he went with Mrs. Rima down to the canal
boat to take dinner with Mr.. Rima. When he
gets back TO Montaur Falls he's going to make
the clairvoyant tell what water she meant IL it
wasn't the canal.

HIS FATHER SAT ON THE JURY.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1l.-Dr. Horace E.
James. a leading physician in the lower part Of
the city and q candidate for Congressman Mt
tho last election. is undergoing q sentence OF
Imprisonment in Moyamenslng Prison for OBJ
tanning money under false prctcnces. More
than two years ago DIR. James, then
rapidly coming into prominence, negotiated
for the purchase of the house at 2023
South Broad street. He paid q small sum to the
owner, and for the remainder signed q mort.
gage. Then the doctor decided that the house
must DO renovated and %retitted, and for this
purpose no borrowed 5000 from Edgar A. Cas-
seday, on the plea that he owned the house.
Subsequently Casseday nscertained that this
was not the case. and had James arrested.
After many postponements the case came up
for trial on Oct. %. In that court James faced
Edgar Casseday and his own mother. There no
also faced his father, sitting in one of the jurors
chairs, who had sworn to weigh tho evidence
fairly, impartially, regardless of blood relation
ship. The fathers associates were ignorant Of
his relation to the defendant; they only knew
that there was some sort Of relationship, and
thought it remote. They did know. however.
that at first this man declared he would vote for
acquittal; that he held out for some time. At
last he weakened, and after much argument no
voted for conviction.
A day or so ago a ncighbor OF the father, DR..
Ben butcher, I'll South Tenth street, interested
himself in behalf of the son. He went to Judge
Audcnried and told him of the story. He also
went to w F. Johnston and to Edgar Casseday.
To all he told the story OF the father. Then, all
parties agreeing, the sentence was shortened
one month. But when the news was carried to
the father he said nothing.
