New York, Nov. S.-James E. Ward
& Co. Of this city received a cable mes
sage from the agent Of the firm at Mas
sau Monday afternoon, saying that a
twO-funneled steamer, the name Of
which had not been learned, was in
ashore on Cat island, a few miles from
the point where the former Spanish
warship, Maria Teresa, is supposed to
have foundered during the storm. The
stranded steamer may be the warship
or one of the army transports.
Collier Leonidas Arrives.
Newport News, Nov. S.-The United
States steamer collier Leonidas ar
rived at Hampton roads Monday. She
started from Santiago with the Maria
Teresa, but lost track Of the cruiser
and the repair ship Vulcan and tug
Merritt the afternoon the warship went
down.
The transport Victor and collier
Pompey also arrived Monday. The
transport brought nearly 100 soldiers,
10 of whom were sick. The others
have either been discharged or are on
furlough. The soldiers were mostly
members of the I'd and 5th immunes
and 9Th regular infantry.

London, Nov. 5.-Despite the jubila-
ton OF the country over the favorable
announcement by Salisbury regarding
FaShoda at the Kitchener banquet last
night, there is serious uneasiness as to
the real object Of continued war prep
arations, which can hardly be justified
even by Salisbury's warning that there
are still matters in dispute with
France. A dispatch from Hong Kong
received last night again remarks upon
the unusual naval and military actiV-
ity there. The dispatch says Gen.
Black and staff have been inspecting
the old frontier of British Kau-Long
(Kow-Loon) and selecting points for
the erection Of defensive works. Field
and selge guns are being mounted and
the men-ofwar lying Off Hong Kong
are embarking large quantities of am
munition. The fleet has been sig
nailed to send no mails by the French
steamer leaving today. This order is
regarded as significant.
The editorials in the morning pa
pers express natural jubilation over
the settlement of the acute stage in
the Fashoda dispute. They insist it is
hopeless for France to expect that her
evacuation of Fashoda will give her
any better pretence to discuss or to at
tempt negotiations regarding any por-
ton Of the Nile valley.

GAME OF DIPLOMACY
NOW BEING CARRIED or BY
PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
SPANS NEW POSITION
VIII Say She Pledged Revenues of
Cuba and Philippines and Faith to
Her Creditors Requires That She
Retain Islands to Make Good Her
Obligations.

Paris, Nov. 4.-Last Monday the
United States and Spanish peace COM
missioners left the definite limitations
Of the protocol and entered upon the
wide field Of diplomacy, where the open
question is to be decided. Both COM
missioners realize that the area is am
pie enough for some manOeuYering,
though on the American side the ten
denCy as to eVoIutions is much more
compact thar that Oh the part OF the
Spaniards, Having last Monday
heard the American proposition, the
Spaniards might have Immediately
declined it, as they certainly will do
at today's session. Whether they will
accompany their refusal with a cOun-
ter proposition has not been definitely
ascertained, though at late hour last
night that course seemed improbable.
The result will be that the commits
sions will retire from the confronting
positions until one or the other
shah have reformed it's lines for the
next meeting, which will probably oc-
cur next week. Ii the Spanish com
missioners entertain the hope that af-
ter the elections the United States
commissioners will relax their demands
as to the Philippines they have not ut
tered it here for the public ear; nor
has anything been said or done by any
member of the United States commits
sion to warrant such hope.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press ascertains from Spanish sources,
beyond question authentic, that before
the Philippine question is settled the
Spanish commissioners will declare
that they are not here solely to save
or to gain all the money possible from
the United States. Montero Rios, pres
ident of the Spanish commission, and
his colleagues, waving for argument
classification of Spanish or colonial
debts, will point out that Srain has
borrowed on the collateral of her
colonial revenue. They will concede
that the national guarantee may have
been added, but that for all purposes
this contention is irrevelant. 1t will
then be frankly urged by her commits
SlOueIS LndL Spain mas pdWuGu Lu6 rev
enues of the Philippines and Of Cuba,
that she did so in good faith to her
creditors and, this being true, that she
has no moral right to give away Or re-
hypothecate the territory already
pledged. If the United States feels it
high duty to retain the Philippines
SPANS ENJOYS will declare that she
has an equally sacred duty in hold
ing them to pledge their revenues in
honorable Indebtedness; and that,
while possibly unable to make good the
Indebtedness in dollars, Spain can, if
only by a fruitless adherence to high
| purposes, save her name from the
brand of theft. This statement of the
Spanish contention comes from a
source which gives it all he weight
possible to any Spanish utterance, and
in the presence of those conditions, the
commission will meet again today.

double track from Elroy to Chi
cago is realization rapidly approach
ing the stage of naturalization on the
Chicago & Northwestern road. For
many months the tWo-track system
has been in operation between Madl-
son and Baraboo, even to a siding a
few miles north of that city; and very
recently it has been completed from
Madison to Chicago by the filling OF
few short gaps here and there between
those two points. The train service
from BaraboO the entire distance to
the western metropolis is now over the
double track, and the simplitication OF
operation is of course very great. A
faster time schedule is likewise pos
sible under the new conditions, trans
portation facilities are enormously
augmented, delays due to waiting for
the road to be cleared are an incon-
venience wholly avoided and the
record Of collisions and other casual
ties is certain to be tremendously re-
duced. The travelling public, which
chafes at delays and is timorOus about
accidents, is especially interested N
some of these advantages in which
the Northwestern people now glory.
The hiatus between Baraboo and
Elroy is being rapidly closed up, and
a double track to the latter place is as
sured by next July at the farthes+.
Work is humming all along the line
north of Baraboo. Grading is being
rushed, the right-of-Way Strengthened
and river-crossings and curves thus
avoided; culverts and bridges widened
to accommodate an additional track,
hog s-backs scraped down, depres-
sions raised and much else being done
not only in the interest of double
track but for the general Improvement
of the roadbed. By another indie
| pendence day trains will be humming
along on a double track all the way
south of Elroy. Then the Omaha peo-
pie to the north are also getting ready
| to meet the Northwestern, and the
| time is thus not far distant when the
entire distance from st. Paul to Chi
cago will be spanned by safety-giv-
| ing double track.

EXPRESS COMPANIES WIN.

New York, Nov 9-The test case
brought on behalf of the Merchants
association in an endeavor to fix the
responsibility for the payment of the
stamp tax, came up for argument be-
fore Judge Lacombe of the United
States circuit court, on the prelimi
nary motion for an Injunction against
the express companies. The case is
entitled William Crawford against
William L. Hubbell, as treasurer of
the Adams Express company. After
listening to the arguments of counsel,
Judge Lacombe stated that for the
purpose Of expediting the case in its
course to a higher court, he would de-
eide this preliminary motion at once
off hand. He said that he was in
clined to do this for the reason that

BULLET NOT LOCATED.
Doctors Can't FIND Missile That Dis
abled Adam Hammer.

Beaver Dam, Wis, Nov. DIR. Tai
bert, who IS attending Adam Hammer,
the man who, after shooting a dozen
people, was brought down by a bullet
from rifle aimed by Lieut.. Arthur
Tibbits, would not permit his patient
to be taken from his cell Friday, ow-
ing to the character of his wound, and
the preliminary examination will
therefore not be held until next week.
State Senator Burke who has been
retained by Mrs. Hammer to look af-
ter the interests of her husband, says
that he is ready to go ahead with his
case as he is confident that he can
show his client to have been temper
arrily insane when he did the shoot
ing.
The bullet from Lieut. Tibbits'
rife, which penetrated Hammers
shoulder, has not yet been located, the
physicians having probed for it with
out success. The wound is healing
slowly and it may be necessary to
have an X-ray photograph taken.
Hammer when asked why he did the
shooting, said: Il had to put a stop
to that continual tormenting and guy
ing some way, and I don't know but
what the plan 1 selected was about the
best way to settle everything. l am
sorry hurt any one, as it really
wasn't my intention to do that. I
haven't any recollection of my shots
hitting any one, and do not remember
about being shot. l am glad Tibbits
shot me, or 1 really might have killed
some one. This is all 1 know, and
that is just the way people tell it to
me, for l cannot remember having
hurt any one but as my friends say l
have, it must be so.'

rational again. He expresses no re-
gret at his deed. Some people think
mat Hammer was insane at the time
Of his deed, while others say that he
was perfectly sane and that his out
burst was nothing more than his ugli-
ness. Whether Or not the man was in
sane, it is the opinion of almost every
body that he should have been shot
long before he was, and City Marshal
Edward Powderly has been severely
criticised for not allowing some one to
wing him sooner.

BOYD'S OFFICIAL REPORT
Eau Claire's Commissioner Issues
Statement Showing That the
Badgers Were Without Sufficient
Food and That the Forced Marches
at Charleston Were Cruel.

st. Paul, Nov. 5.-The Pioneer Press
Eau Claire CWis.) special says: r.
K. Boyd, Eau CIaire's commissioner to
Porto Rico, returned with the Sd Wis
consin. He has just published his re-
port, of which copies go to Congress
man Griffin, Gov. Scofield and Secre-
tary Alger. Boyd's story is one of al
most continuous semi-starvation of the
soldiers Of the Sd from Chickamauga
to Porto Rico up to September Is,
when a round-robin by the captains
was followed by improved rations, He
describes the Charleston marches
anew and says that it would be
hard to find man in the
regiment who uoes not hold a bitter
feeling against Generals Wilson and
Ernst, believing as they do that these
marches were prompted by spirit Of
wanton cruelty and inhuman disregard
of the rights of the common soldier.
In conclusion he said: 1.-THE disci-
pline Of the Sd Wisconsin was usually
good and the sickness from which they
suffered was not chareeable to any
fault or neglect Of either the men or
their officers. From one day to an
other there was no sort Of joking or
pleasantly among the men, but all
seemed weak and discouraged. The
officers state that they do not think
there were many cases of pure home
sickness. The universal expression
OF the men was give us enough to eat
