BLANCO'S RESIGNATION
ACCEPTED AT MADRID
Captain General Spared the Duty of
Surrendering Cuba to the
United States

MADRID, Nov. 23-After the meeting
of the Council of Ministers last night it
was said nothing definite had been de-
eided in relation to the subject of the
peace negotiations.
The Official Gazette publishes a decree
accepting the resignation Of General Blan-
co as Governor General of Cuba
WASHINGTON, Nov 2s-No surprise
is expressed in Government circles at the
news of General Blancos resignation. It
is known that some time ago the general
sought to resign the office of Captain Gen
eral of Cuba, and he was induced to re-
tain that post only by appeals to his pa.
triotism. 1t is supposed that his pur-
pose is to avoid what he may regard as
the dishonor of surrendering the Gem of
the Antilles to the United States The
Captain General of the Philippines took
the same course General Arolas, the Sec
ond in command, is likely to have the UNI
pleasant duty of surrendering. Spanish
Sovereignty over Cuba. 1t Is believed that
Blanco's action will not in any way af-
feet the evacuation, save in the POSSIBLE
ity it contains of melting trouble among
the Spanish troops.

CLAIMS OF AMERICANS
CERTAIN OF PAYMENT
Those Against Spain for Damage
Done in Cuba Assumed by
the United States.

NEW YORK, Nov. pa Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Ameri-
can citizens having claims against the
Spanish Government are much graft
fed to learn that under the terms of
the ultimatum submitted by the Ameri-
can Peace Commissioners the Govern
ment of the United States is to assume
responsibility for their payment. 1t is
impossible to give an accurate estimate
of the total amount of claims of Ameri-
cans against Spain, but Senate report
Of April II shows that there were then
pending in the State Department claims
amounting to $24000,0 900 for the destruc-
ton of property of American citizens in
Cuba. Since that time many more
claims have been filed. Manv of these
claims, of course, will be disallowed or
scaled down before they are paid, but
whatever the total amount of claims
finally allowed may be, 1t must be
added to the $4,000 900 offered for the
Philippines in estimating the real in
demnity given by the United States for
those islands.

TWO LAKE SUPERIOR
STEAMSHIPS ASHORE

DULUTH. Mimi, Nov. %. - The
steamers Tampa and Arthur Orr are
wrecked on the north shore of Lake Su-
perior. The two vessels represent
about s450,0O0 with their cargoes, and
they lie within nine miles Of each other.
The Tampa, Duluth-bound, with coal
from Buffalo, is complete wreck on
the rocks at Beaver Bay, sixty miles
east of Duluth. She went ashore about
3 O'Clock Tuesday morning in the fear
full gale that swept Lake superior all
of Monday and Tuesday. Her crew is
safe at Beaver Bay. The Tampa was
owned by David Whitney of Detroit.
She is a total loss and was insured for
800. OO0 Her cargo was insured for
$4,000
The tug w. P. Castle returned to-
night from the scene and brought news
of the wreck of the Arthur Orr at Bap-
tism River, nine miles east Of the
Tampa. She went on at about the
same time the Tampa was wrecked. She
is not in as bad shape as the Tampa,
although she is broken in two. The
Orr left Duluth on Monday morning

Jim, many think you yourself were

Never in my life have I been ac-
cused of utter ignorance. People gen
orally, I believe, have given me some
credit for possessing some intelligence
Now, with a spark of intelligence in
my brain, do you think I would have

McVey appeared so palpable is evil

of it."
DO you think McVey sold you out?'
81 cannot believe that he did. We
have been too close in our relations.
If there had been any funny business
on his part 1 would certainly have seen
some change in him while we were

ROBBERS RAID A
MISSOURI BANK
A Night Waterman Bound and
Gagged and May Die From
EyDoSI1re.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-At Elsberry,
Mo. sixty-eight miles north of here, on
the ST. Louis, Keokuk and Northwest
ern Railroad, robbers made a desperate
attempt to rob the Lincoln County
Bank. 1t is not known how much. If
anything, they obtained. AS result OF
rough treatment received from the rob-
bers, John Wiseman Waters, the night
watchrnan Of the town, who is 60 years
of age, may die. He was found at an
early hour to-day, bound and gagged,
living in the open air, where he had
been left by the robbers. He was badly
frozen.
When President T. II. Harvey arrived
at the bank this morning he found the
vault doors wide open. The safe inside,
containing $4,000, was closed and he
was unable TO open it. An expert safe
opener was sent from here at the re-
quest of the bank officials. The st.
Louis expert worked all afternoon on
the safe, but could not open it. He Is
emphatic in the statement that the rob-
bers failed to open the safe. Another
expert was taken from st. Louis to-
night and is now at work on the safe.
Waterman Waters is still In a pre-
carious condition, but may recover. The
bank was obliged to close for the day,
but will reopen Friday.
