Halls FROM GALVESTON.
A Stranded Ship OF the Virginia
Coast in Great Danger.

Cape Henry. Va, Oct. 27.-The large
steamer which stranded in front of the
weather bureau Office here last night
was this morning discovered to be the
Georman steamer Polaria, Capt. STANCE,
which sailed from Galveston on Octo-
Der IS for Norfolk to finish loading for
Hamburg.
She lies about 700 yards out from
shore. None of her crew or passengers
have been landed, but the ship is rest
ing easy and in no immediate danger
of breaking up. The life saving crew
have been strenuously endeavoring
throughout the day to get a line to the
stranded ship. They have fred the Lyle
gun nine time, but each time the shot
carrying the line fell short of the ship.
The heavy surf which is being piled up
by the northeast gale has prevented
their launching a boat.
Wrecking tugs were sent from this
city early in the day. and the Merritt
Wrecking company got line to the
ship from the tug Jones, which was
pulled on her unsuccessfully. She is now
lying alongside ready to render aid in
case the steamer shows signs of break
ing up.

SPANS REPLY HAS ARRIVED
1T IS SAID THERE IS NOTHING IN

BE TAKEN.
CONFIDENCE IN SAGASTA CABINET
state Department officials Inclined
to Give the Ministry Plenty of
Time to Set Things Right-PrO-
posed Plan of Autonomy.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The event of the
day at the state department was the re-
ceipt of the long expected cablcgram
from United States Minister Woodford,
transmitting the answer of the Spanish
government to his representations in the
peace negotiations.
There were little less than 1000 words
in the message from. Mr.. Woodford, for
instead of cabling the whole Spanish an
swer to his note, he contented himself
with reducing the matter to brief out
line. A copy was taken at once to the
president, and after due opportunity had
been allowed him to read the message,
an application was made for a statement
of its contents or nature.
This was declined by Secretary Porter,
and it was said that under no circum-
stances would the correspondence be made
public before the cabinet had consider
ed it.
From unofficial information that reach
ed certain officials in advance of the
message of Mr.. WoOdford as to the
nature of the Spanish reply, it is evident
that in neither language nor subject mat
ter is the communication likely to he
taken as offensive by our government. 1t
may be, II is true, regarded as insufficient
10 meet the issue presented by Mr.. Wood
ford in his note, but officials of the state
department state that in view of what
has already been accomplished by the
new Spanish cabinet in reforming abuses
in Cuba, in removing Wcyler and in pro-
jecting what appears to be a liberal
measure of autonomy. our government
will surely rest. ut least until congress
assemblies, and afford to the new Spanish
government Il reasonable time TO carry
out its plan.

ture on the HogansvilIe POST
mastership.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 26.-In the legisla-
ture this afternoon Mr.. George of Cowa-
la introduced a resolution on the shoot
ing of the Hogansville postmaster, in
part as follows:
"Whereas, In the town of Hogansville,
Ga, the president of the United States
has seen proper to appoint to the Office of
postmaster man whose appointment
was opposed by 80 per cent of the prop.
erty owners and responsible citizens of
that county, and 80 per cent in other sec
tons of the United States when the pres
ident makes or permits to be made an
appointment of like character-on the
Pacific slope the president would not dare
appoint as postmaster of any town a
Chnaman over the protest of 80 per cent
of its property owners and responsible
citizens, nor would he dare in any town
in the north or east to appoint to local
office one who was opposed by 80 per cent
of the best people of the locality;
Resolved, by the house of representa-
tives of the general assembly of the state
of Georgia, That if said attempt to shoot
said appointee be true, which we disbe-
lieve, then we condemn in unmeasured
terms the lawless conduct of the
would-be assassins.
Resolved, That we deplore this and
similar appointments as exhibitions OF
petty spite and narrow sectional hate,
unworthy of the high Office of chief mag
istrate of this great nation"

THE DIR. BROWN INQUIRY.
Mr., Mclean of California Testifes
Against the Accused.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-There was a large
audience of Congregational ministers and
laymen present at the second days ses-
sion of the inquiry into the charges
against the Rev. G. O. Brown, made by
the Bay district conference. MIR. Brown,
accompanied by his, wife and SON. came
early to the church and shook hands
with everybody, even his adversary Of
the Bay conference, greeting him with
the most stately courtesy. When the
moderator. DR.. Little of Boston, called
the meeting to ORDER each minister sunk
in his seat and the gathering instantly
became session of grave and earnest
pastors intent solely on the momentous
business of the day.
DR.. Little declared that the first thing
in order would be the Bay conference
presentation of its case.
Mr.. Mclean added a fourth charge to
the three already alleged against Or.
Brown-that of using threats against a
young woman of his congregation. Re-
ports of the California credential COM
mittee, which was given the findings OF
the trial council. and in turn passed the
findings on the bay conference. were then
read The conference, continued the
speaker, had acted without a trial simply
because the original council and the ere
dental committee had fully investigated
and recorded the four specific charges.
DIR. Brown, he said, had been given
every opportunity to defend himself and
had made elaborate speeches in his own
behalf. The vote in the Bay conference,
said the speaker, was AZ to ~ against
Dr. Brown. and the conference simply
confirmed the judgment already given by
the San Francisco council. DR.. Browns
delay in summoning the Bay conference
to mutual council was also commented
upon. Incidentally the speaker said that
Dr. Browns guilt or innocence in the
Overman scandal was not proved: but
that the charges arising out of DR..
Browns actions toward witnesses in that
case was so discreditable that full in
vestigation was necessary.
The council. he went on. had met with
hope of clearing DR.. Brown, but as
the investigation continued had been COM
PEELED to admit his guilt. BY his own
friends. claimed the speaker. DR.. Brown

None of the Guatemalan refugees now
here, including Col. Prospero Morales,
who was second in command of the rev.
dictionary forces, is disposed to talk
much regarding the cause which, by
best reports obtainable, is dead for the
present, but may mt any time be revived
as strong sentiment exists against Bar
rios throughout Guatemala. There is
great dread felt in Guatemala lest Bar
rios take vengeance on his enemies.
DR.. Caray of this city has performed
an operation declared by the best sur
geons to he without parallel, having
successfully operated on and saved the
life of a man who had received a knife
wound in the upper right hand side of
the neck, cutting into the carotid ar.

the aneurism contained a small quantity
of blood, removed the coagulated blood
and succeeded finally in stopping the
hemorrhagc. The patient in fifteen days
has been pronounced cured and is strong

THE ANGLo-FRENCH TROUBLE.
France Claims Her Treaties With
the Chief Take Precedence.

FRANCE SIH1mS heT IreuttSs WIN
the Chief Take Precedence.
Paris. Oct. FIT is understood that
the fundamental basis of the difficulty
between France and Great Britain in
West Africa is that France declines to
recognize the treaties concluded with
native rulers by officers of the British
Niger company until the text of such
treaties have been officially communi-
Gated to France by the British govern
ment. Thus the French government
claims that many of the treaties made
with African potentates in behalf of
France took precedence over the treaties
negotiated in behalf of the British Niger
company.
The colonial group in the chamber of
deputies n small but energetic party, en-
crcising great pressure upon the gov
eminent, met today and passed resolu-
tons calling upon NJ. Hanotaux, the
foreign minister, to uphold French
rights in north Dahomey, especially at
Nikki and Boussa, and to reoccupy Ba-
jouio on the Niger, which the French
abandoned two years ago because una
Bile to prove their title.
The Republique Franchise, in an trticle
which represents the general feel
ing of the French press, ascribed the
conciliatory attitude of Great Britain
to Lord Salisbury and blames Mr.. Cham
berain the British colonial secretary,
for the whole agitation. 1t also indi-
Gates that the preliminary discussion of
the grounds to be covered by the Anglo
French conference on West African in
terests is likely to be very protracted.
