The Luetgert Trial.

CHICAGO, October l3-The entire day
in the Luetgert trial was taken up by
Attorney Phalan, who spoke for the
defense. He made an impassioned plea
for his client, accused the police of in
timidating the witnesses for the defense,
and denounced many of those who ap.
peared for the defense as perjurers. He
declared that the chain of circumstan-
tial evidence on which the States at
torney had dwelt at so great length
during his address to the jury was not
a chain of circumstantal evidence at
all, but fragr rentary collection of dis
tOrted facts.
Luetgerl is ,reaking down. This was
the universal Verdict of those who have
known and watched the man during
the two months of his trial. The strain

A Railway Meeting Called

CHICAGO, October "a call was
issued today for meeting of the south
eastern lines to be held in Cincinnati,
October I4th, for the purpose of con-
sidering winter tourist rates and the
points to which they shall be applied.
There is little likelihood that the roads
running east from Chicago will follow
the action of the northern roads, and
raise the rates on eastbound grain and
flour. They are of the opinion that too
much of this traffic has been going east
by the northern routes, and they are
not willing to take action that might
result in the loss of any greater of it to
them. 1t is likely that meeting of
the traffi officials of the eastern roads
will be held in the near future to con-
slider the action of the northern roads,
and to decide upon the best line OF
action for the roads out of Chicago to
pursue.

Gen. Ramon B!anco.

Madrid, October ll.-Gen. Ramon
Blanco, the new Captain General of
Cuba, announces that he will act with
great energy against the insurgents and
will employ all political means to re-
store equality of treatment in various
sections of the community. The Cap
tain General adds that he has the great
est desire to end the horrors of war and
to establish peace by the system which
he adopted in 1879.
The new Captain General OF Cuba
had long conference with the Queen
Regent to-day
The Spanish party of Cuba, the com
mercial associations of Havana and the
independent party OF Porto Rico have
cabled to the government, assuring it
Of their support.
A ca0le message has been received
from Gen Weyler saying that he en-
barks for Spain on the 20th of October,
the first steamer sailing on that date.
A dispatch received here from Ha-
vana says that Gen. Weyler, the retir-
ing Captain General, has issued an
amnesty decree which includes all the
deported Cubans, who will thus be able
to return to their homes

A rIode! Government for Cuba.

MADRID, October e.--The cabinet to.
day held four hours session during
which the decision previously arrived
at regarding the recall from Cuba of
Captain General Weyler was con-
hrmed.
Ell Heraldo makes the announcement
that the captain general Of Porto Rico
will be appointed acting governor of
Cuba pending the arrival of Marshal
Blanco.
In replying to a number of Cuban
senators who had offered their support
to the government, Premier Sagasta
said that tie government would devote
itself before all else to the pacification
of Cuba, and would then introduce in
the island a model administration.
The government, the premier added /,
considered that the pacihcation OF
Cuba would facilitate the restoration
of peace in the PHILIPPINE islands,
where the situation now is serious.
HAVANA, October 9-Following the
appointment of Marshal Blanco to sue
ceed Captain General Weyler, the
Marquis Palmerola, civil governor of
Havana, and the other provincial gov
ernors have rendered their resigna-

Bank Failed

AsHEvILLE, N. c., October 12-When
the First National bank failed on July
goth, many depositors in the Western
Carolina bank endeavored to draw out
their funds. The sixty day was en-
forced as soon as the demand became
large, and this morniug the bank did
uot open its doors. a statement on the
door says "This bank is closed for
liquidation 1t is understood that the
bank was overloaded with real estate,
especially country property, on which
realization will be slow. The number
of small depositors is large, and there
was some excitement when the doors
of the bank failed to open this morn

rIR. SHERMAN SURPRISED
At EngIands Action in the Seal Fist<ri,
Matter.

WASHINGTON, octobes12-secretary
Sherman has written reply to the
note of Lord Salisbury expressing
Great Britain g saeclination to take part
in a Behri, sea conference in which
Russia and Japan are to participate
Ir' - essential features of Mr.. Shermans
reply will be sent by cable to the Brit
ish government and the reply in full is
now on it's way to the British authori-
ties. Lord Salisbury's note of declina-
ton, it can now be stated, bore date of
October 9th, last Wednesday, so
that the response is made with prompt
ness
The answer states that the United
States government views with astonish
ment the determination of Great
Britain not to participate in a confer
ence including Russia and Japan, and
the statement is made that up to the
23rd of last month the United States
authorities had fully expected that the
conference would proceed with Russia
and Japan, as we'll as Great Britain,
present. 1t is pointed out, that aside
from the written correspondence, to
which Lord Salisbury had called atten
ton, there were verbal negotiations be-
tween Ambassador Hay and his lord.
