SECRETARY SHERMAN.
Doubts If Canovas' Death Will Have
Great Effect Spanish Politics.

Great Effect on Spanish Politics.
WASHINGTON, Aug. lo.-Secretary of
State Sherman expressed deep inter-
est in the details He said: This
deplora BILE event will have some ef-
feet. of course, on the political affairs
of Spain, but to what extent | cannot
say. The death of one man is not nee
essarily going to change the sentiment
of the whole country. Spain is very
tenacious country. Her money is gone
Her resources have been exhaus ted.
But she means, evidently, to hold on
to Cuba Just how she can do it, un
der these circumstances, | cannot see.
Yet, she is opposed to yielding a
point. Premier Canovas was a strong
partisan. He was the chief exponent
of the element which was determined
to keep the island at all hazards.
Seemingly Spain is almost a unit on
this. Canovas was strong factor in
the movement Of Spain, but it is not
impossible that another will be found
to replace him in that important office,
having similar views and the same
pronounced ideas. How it may be in
this case | am unable to say, but the
effects, politically, Of such an event
are not essentially far reaching and
have not always produced radical de-
velopments. AS to the consequences
Of the conflict in Cuba | do not care to

THE EFFECT ON CUBA
Gubans Say Canovas' Death Will Hasten
Independence.

monte, president of the Jose Marti
Revolutionary club, and the Marti
Charity organization, of this city,
heard the news Of the killing of Pre-
mier Canovas at his home and ex-
claimed: This is truly hard to be-
lieve.'
Then he said: "Sagasta, who is at
the head of the Liberals, will surely
succeed Conovas, and l feel certain
he will follow the same general policy
in regard to Cuba as Canovas made
every effort to do. 1t will doubtless
be his idea to bring about a relation
ship between Spain and Cuba such as
exists between England and Canada.
But sucn a relationship Cuba will
never accept She must have com
plete and absolute independence.
still, it is my belief that the killing
the cause of Cuba 1t may even lead
to independence. independence, that
is the only thing for Cuba.
Eyes, Sagasta will succeed Canovas.
Canovas was directly responsible for
the relations which existed between
the United States and Spain as regards
Cuba, because his instructions were so
carefully carried out by Spain's rep
resentatives in Washington that Pres
| ident Cleveland would not act friendly
to Cuba. The death of Canovas can
not but help the cause of Cuba
The news of the assassination of
Senior Canovas was received at the
Hispanio- q mericanO hotel, where the
guests are both Cuban aud Spanish,
without much apparent surprise. Few
of the guests cared to discuss the mat
ter. c. Ricardo Aleman, lawyer
from Cuba on a visit here, who is a
Spaniard and a Loyalist, said he did
not thi2k the killing of the premier
would have any influence on Cuban
affairs, or was brought about by the
Cuban trouble. 1t was planned an d
carried out, he said. by anarchists,
and meant no more than an assassina-
ton of the same character in any
other country.
t was the work of anarchists, he
believed, seeking to remove another
influential head of = government

Perjury by James Mcneil.

Waupaca, Wis, Oct. 19.-George
Hoxie, formerly the law partner of
Benjamin Goldberg at New London,
was arrested Monday on charge of
perjury sworn out by James Mcneil,
who has been prominent throughout
the prosecution Of the disbarrment
proceedings of Benjamin Goldberg.
The warrant for Hoxie was sworn
out last Saturday, but was not served
until Monday. Mr.. Goldberg learned
that his old partner was also charged
with the crime which he himself has
been accused of, and informed HoXie
of the fact Sunday. Mr.. Hoxie came
to Waupaca and surrendered himself
to Justice w. J. Chamberlain, who
adjourned the case until 10 o'clock in
the morning of Oct. 25. Bail was
fixed at $500 and was furnished by R,
N. Roberts of the National bank OF

chance that Mr.. Goldberg met his
former partner and informed him OF

saving him from being brought in by

for the east and education when Erie

eldest son of Richard Dana, progen-
itor of those who bear the name in
the United States. Vermont offered
poor living for the family, which
broke up fast. The eldest son went
to Buffalo and opened a store, and
ar other in Sardinia. Charles was
twelve years old when he left home
to join his brother in Buffalo. Dana
cared nothing for female society and
Stunned social gatherings, preferring
to spend his evenings at home, read

presidents. He admired Andrew Jack
son greatly, and was ever sounding
the praises of the great Tennesseean.

from WaupaCa, where he was taken
by a deputy sheriff of the county,
having been himself arrested on the
charge of perjury. AS he was return
ing to Milwaukee he met the younger
man on the train on his way to visit
his mother, who is lying very sick at
her home After receiving the infor-
nation from Goldberg Mr.. HoXie i'm
mediately decided to return to Wau-
paca and surrender himself before the
deputy sheriffs had an opportunity Of
arresting him. The action is based
upon the testimony given by Hoxie
during the Goldberg disbarrment
trial The evidence which, accord
ing to Mr. Mcneil, who had the war
rant sworn out, was false, was given
in connection with count No. of the

known as the Jonas charge. The facts
as established by the evidence show

died Sunday afternoon of cirrhosis of

which was to end his life and made
it advisable to give UP his active di-

tis beautiful home on Dosoris island.
Once there, it became evident to his

in which his life could be prolonged
was to give him absolute rest. He
had gradually grown weaker and the
end came peacefully with his family

CONSUL DEUSTER'S REPORT.
Milwaukeean Tells Of Discrimination
Against United States.

Washington, Oct. 16.-United States
Consul Deuster at Crefeld, Germany,
reports to the state department two
instances where the German authori-
ties have taken action which tends
to discourage the importation of
American goods. In one case nearly
three times the ordinary duty was
assessed against an invoice of stoves
because they had what would be
called common castings in this coun-
try, but which the German importers
said were ornamental castings and
subject to the highest duties. An
other case was where nearly a third
Of a large shipment of Chicago sau-
sages was condemned by the official
inspectors. This action indicated
that the American inspection was de-
fectiye. Mr.. Deuster says that the
American carriage and wagon is being
introduced in Germany.
