Diplomatic and Is, Apparently, Satisfae-
tOry-The Mailed Hand Used to Crush
the Cubans Is Enceased in the Softest
Velvet When Dealing With an AcknOWI-
edged Power.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is stated on
good authority that Premier Sagasta's
reply to Minister Woodford's note, the
full text of which was read at Tues
days cabinet meeting, is eminently
satisfactory to this government In it
the Spanish ministry pledges itself to
correct the abuses of power in Cuba
which was the subject of SO much COM
plant during the Weyler administra-
ton, and gives assurance of its friendly
feeling toward the American people.
1t accepts our good offices in its efforts
to restore peace in Cuba, and in per-
fectly respectful and friendly spirit
asks this government, so far as pos
sibie, to restrain the insurgent SYM
pathizers in the United States from Civ
ing material aid to the enemies of
Spain in Cuba The reply intimates
that but for the assistance that
has been given them by fill
clustering from the United States
peace would have been restored long
ago. The reply, it is stated, does not
contain a sentence that could give Of
Tense, or be construed into an express
sion of an unfriendly purpose or feel
ing against the government of the
United States. On the contrary, the
note is stated to be distinctly concilia-
tory in tone, although insisting upon
the right and duty of Spain to put
down an armed insurrection within its
own territory.
1t is evident that the reply has made
favorable impression upon President
Mckinley and the members of the cab.

ILLNESS OF JUROR LARSEN.

An UnIoOi<cd-For Factor In the Thorn Muir
der Trial that will NecessItate the I'm
panneling OF a New Jury.
New YORK, Nov. lathe trial of
Martin Thorn for the murder of Will
liam Guldensuppe, which was begun
last Monday at Long Island City, was
suspended yesterday owing to the dan
gerous illness of Juror Magnus Larsen.
The jury will be discharged this morn
ing and a new trial ordered. Juror
Larsen was taken i'll Wednesday and
court adjourned on that account.
Physicians called found that he was
suffering from appendicitis.
At the opening of court yesterday
morning it was announced that Larsen
was unable to attend and an adjourn
ment was taken until this morning.
Late yesterday afternoon an opera
ton was successfully performed upon
the sick juror and it is expected that
he will be able to leave his bed in two
weeks.
District Attorney Youngs last even
ing notified the other II jurors to be
present in court to-day and receive
their discharge, and he will then ask
the court to call another jury. All
evidence for the prosecution, whose
case was nearly completed, will have
to be introduced again, and Mrs. Mack
will be required to go on the stand and
tell her horrible story anew.

DURRANT STILL LIVES.
The Hastily-Pronounced Death
Sentence Overruled.
The Supreme Court of California, Unanim.
ousIy Granted q Writ of Probable Cause
and Instructed Warden Hale Not
to Garry Out the Execution.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.-William
Henry Durrant was not hanged at
San Quentin to-day, after all, the SUI
preme court of this state having granted
him another respite at the eleventh
hour.
Up to four o'clock yesterday after
noon when the news flashed over the
! wires from Sacramento that the court,
at its session there, had granted a
writ of probable cause and instructed
Warden Hale not to carry out the execu-
ton of Durrant until further orders,
there was apparently no further hope
for the condemned murderer of Blanche
Lamont and Minnie Williams, as his at
torneys, Messrs. Dickinson and Board
man, had made futile effort 10 secure
another writ of habeas corpus in the
United States court and had not even
been granted permission to appeal
from that decision to the supreme court
of the United States.
Meanwhile, however, Attorney De-
puy FASTENED to Sacramento and ap.
piled to the state supreme court for a
writ of probable cause for the, purpose
of staying the proceedings against his
client upon the grounds that no official
knowledge of the action of the
supreme court of the United States
in the matter of Durrants ap-
pealing from the decision of the
federal court had yet been received;
that the superior court had acted too
hastily in sentencing Durrant to be
hanged to-day, as the lawrequired that
he be given at least 60 days'.grace; and,
thirdly, that the tendency of an ap-
peal in the supreme court affecting the
condemned was of itself sufficient
cause for stay of execution.
The matter was partially argued in
chambers and later argued before the
full court and taken under advisement.
Shortly afterwards the court an
nounced it's decision, granting the writ
applied for, in which all the justices
concurred.

Secretary Sherman and Sir WIIfrid Laur.
Ter Confer international Matters.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Secretary
Sherman and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the
premier of Canada, yesterday afternoon
began the first of a formal series of
conferences for the purpose of bring
ing about an agreement by which us
many as possible of the questions now
causing friction between the United
States and the Dominion of Canada
may be amicably adjusted by treaty or
otherwise.
These conferences will be indepen-
dent of the Behring sea seal fisheries
conference, which was the immediate
occasion for the Canadian premier's
present visit to Washington. Among
the causes of friction between the two
countries is the question of the rights
of citizens of either to pursue business
callings in the territory of the other
and the tariff questions.
The conference yesterday afternoon
was brought about by note which
Secretary Sherman sent in the morn
ing to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, asking him
if it would be convenient to the latter
to meet the secretary in the afternoon,
the Canadian premier responding in
the affirmative. The conference ac-
cordingly began at 1:30 p. N. in the
state department.

GREEK TORPEDO SCANDAL.
Prince George of Greece Deeply Affected
by Criticisms of the Royal Family.

Prince George of Greece Deeply Affected
by Criticisms of the Royal Family.
BRINDIsI, Nov. 12.-Letters received
here Yesterday from Athens say that
the torpedo scandal continues to be
The basis of the scandal was the dis
covery of the fact that all the car
tridges fitted to the torpedoes during
the war with Turkey were unprO-
vided with percussion caps, and that
therefore, they would have been use
less in case they had been needed. The
committee of investigation, appointed
TO inquire into the matter, decided
that two officers, Captains RastOpoulo
and Anastal, must be tried by court
martial on the charge of culpable neg
ligence. Capt. Rastopoulo, who is now
being tried, has asked that Prince
George of Greece, who commanded the
torpedo fotilla during the war, and
who was, previous to the war, a great
favorite with the masses, be called as
a witness.
The court has refused to do this, and
the Greek newspapers are publishing
vigorous articles on the subject, the
anti-dynastic Hestia going so far as 20
demand that Prince George be tried by
court-martial.
The prince is known to be deeply "f-
fected by the scandal and by the at
tacks made upon him and upon the
royal family generally in consequence
of this fresh example of the UMPIRE
paredness of Greece for an outbreak OF
hostilitIes.

& ST. Louis road which left ST. Louis
Wednesday evening, and which was
due in this city at 1880 a. M. was de-
rallied and entirely consumed by fire at
a. m. near Lewisport, 80 miles from
Louisville. No lives were lost and, SO
far as is known, no one was seriously
injured.
The accident is attributed to freak
of the high wind of Wednesday, which
overturned a box-car standing on the
Lewisport siding. The car fell directly
across the main track and near a sharp
curve. It was not seen by the engi-
peer of the passenger train until
it was too late to stop his
engine. and the train crashed through
the obstruction, overturning the en-
CINE and tender and com binatio car.
The stove in the combination car set
fire to infammable matter in the car,
and before the trainmen could remove
the car the other coaches, a sleeper
and day coach, were totally destroyed,
in addition to combination
car in which were the smoker and
baggage. The passengers had plenty
OF time to escape, and Traffic Manager
Hill, who was on the ill-fated train,
wires that aside from few bruises no
one was injured. The loss will be
