ACCEPTS OUR OFFICES.
Spain Asks the United States to Act
as Mediator.

Washington, Dec 30.-It has been
learned from an authentic source that
Secretary Olney and Senior Dupuy de
LONE have practically terminated the
negotiations of the Cuban question,
which are to be submitted to congress
when it convenes, January 5. The
terms of the agreement are based on
recent official communications from
Premier Canoyas addressed to the Sec
rotary of state.
The premier states clearly the terms
which Spain will accord to the insur-
gents, and practically asks the United
States to propose these conditions to
her rebellious subjects. In return Tor
our good offices, Spain assures this gov
eminent she sincerely deplores the great
commercial loss which we have sus-
tanned on account of the Cuban dis
turbances. She assures US she Is even
now considering reciprocity treaty
which will deal mainly with Cuban
products, and which will be framed
in such advantageous terms toward this
government that our losses, both in
commerce and in the destruction OF
American property in Cuba, will be
most generously compensated.
Premier CanOvas says Spain cannot,
as a self-respecting and respected ma
ton, stand before the world as having
been coerced into measures by the
United States. She has freely granted
all she now offers, and that in the face
of a rebellion. But she accepts the
good offices of the United States to act
as mediator, and to guarantee to the
insurgents amnesty and the enforce
ment of the new reform law which she
is about to proclaim in Cuba.
The form of government offered is,
the Spanish statesman declares, the
limit of independence which can be
granted to a province by any nation
without absolutely severing the bonds
of union with the mother country.
Autonomy as enjoyed by the Canadians
can never be granted in Cuba. What
Spain is willing to grant the insur-
gents, if they lay down their arms,
and what she asks the United States to
guarantee, is an act which provides
for council of administration which
shall control all matters pertaining to
the commerce of the West Indies and
all estimates upon the general taxation
and expenditures of the island, as we'll
as its general home government.

ESCAPED LYNCHiNG.
A Murderer Owes His Safety to Gov
ernor Stone.

ernor Stone.
jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 29.-The
presence of Governor Stone at the coun-
ty Jail tonight probably saved lobe
Lanahan, colored, from being lynched.
At $3.50 o'clock, mob of fully 1000,
whites and blacks, surrounded the Jail,
threatening to avenge the most revolt
ing murder ever committed in Jeffer-
son City Early this morning the
body of 14-year-old negro girl, Mile
Gaines, was found in yard back of
Joseph Stampfli's furniture store. The
child had been outraged, her skull
crushed and her body mutilated in a
horrible manner. Suspicion pointed
to lobe Lanahan, and he was arrested.
In the basement of the furniture store
discriminating evidence was found.
The news spread over the city, and
by night there was great excitement.
When a lynching was finally threat
ened, Governor Stone, accompanied by
Mayor Silver and Assistant Attorney
General Jordan, went to the Jail and
Governor Stone spoke to the mob. He
appealed to them to leave the punish
ment of the crime to the state. AS
citizens of the capital of the state, he
implored them not to permit, in the
very shadow of the capital. such a
crime as was contemplated. When the
enraged men were finally induced to
withdraw, the prisoner was removed
to the state penitentiary. Armed
guards from the state armory assisted
in the transfer of the prisoner.

economy Of the organization the rules
by which the members have agreed to be
governed constitute the charter of their
rights and courts will decline to take
cognizance Of any matter arising under
these rules.
THE duly chosen and authorized rep
resentatives Of the members alone"
says the court, "are vested with the
power of determining whether a change
is demanded and with their discretion
the courts cannot interfere. Were it
otherwise. courts would control all
benevolent associations all corporations
and all fraternities. 1t is only when
there is an abuse OF discretion and a
clear, unreasonable and. arbitrary in
vasion of private rights that courts will
assume jurisdiction over such societies
or corporations. With questions of
policy, doctrine or discipline courts will
not interfere. Courts will compel ad-
herence to the charter and to the pur
pose for which the society was organ

shown by the complaint to have been
taken in strict accordance with the rules

On the 25th of last June Baxter swore
out warrant before Justice c. F. Cooke
and Hoffman was arrested and charged
with having stolen apricots, valued at
$40 from BaXter's orchard. The defend
ant had to give $50 bail for appearance
on July 9th for trial, and on the latter
date he was acquitted of the charge.
BY reason of the injury done to his good
name and reputation Hoffman now de-
mands the sum stated as damages.
