CEBALL0S DENIES THE STORY.
He Has No Authority From Sagasta
to Treat for Peace With the
Cubans.


NEW YORK, March Al. M. Ce-
ballos, general manager of the Spanish
Trans Atlantic company, made the fol-
lowing statement today:
Il regret to see my name published
in the morning papers, in connection
with negotiations looking towards
peace to be established in the island Of
Cuba and stating that I was acting
with full knowledge Of the Sagasta
ministry, all Of which deny to be the
case.
whatever interest may take in this
matter is solely prompted by my desire
to prevent a conflict between Spain and
the United States and to establish, If
possible, basis that will give US peace
at am early date with honor for all con-
cerned."
Tomas Estrada Palma, one Of the
Cuban revolutionary party in this city,
said today that the proposition for Gu
ban pacification reported to have been
offered by Senor Ceballos was not salts
factory to the iunta.
1--WE will not consider any proposition
for settlement of the war; he said.
unless it be based upon the absolute
independence of Cuba. We are willing
to pay Spain an indemnity of not more
than $10O,00O,0 600. If this is not salts
factory to Spain, we will continue the
war"
WASHINGTON, March A.. The
Spanish minister today asked that an
emphatic denial be made In his name
to the reports that Senior Juan Ceballos
had been in Washington as a commits
sioner from the Spanish. government to
make overtures for terms of settlement
with the Cuban insurgents.
"Senor Ceballos is not a commission
er Of Spain," said the minister, NOR
has he any authority, directly or in
directly to speak for the Spanish gov
ernment. The only person qualified to
speak for Spain In the United States
is her accredited minister. I wish to
make the denial as broad and emphatic
as possible"

Caused a Sensation at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 1.-THE state
ment that the control of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railway system is about to pass out
of the hands of those who have for so
long a time been identified with it, and
the consequent inference that Baltimore
would probably cease to be the headquar-
ters of the company, caused profound SEN
sation here to-day, but nothing definite can
be learned as to the details and the prob
able effect upon the future of the road.
Neither of the receivers has as yet re-
turned from Chicago, and other officials of
the road are reticent. Messrs. Alexander
Shaw, Frank CHAMELEON and other men,
bers of the committe appointed by the Bal
timOre stockholders to undertake the reor-
ganiZation of the system, profess to know
nothing whatever concerning the reported
deal, and that aside from the Garrett holu-
ings. the transfer of which was reported
several weeks ago, it is not known that
any large blocks of stock have been parted

CHICAGO MONEY INVESTED
p. ID. ARMOUR AND OTHERS INTER-
ESTED IN THE BIG DEAL.
Denial that the Great System VIII Be
Combined with j. j. Hills North
western and Pacific Lines.

CHICAGO. Sept. 1.-THE Times-Herald
says: Phillip d. Armour, Marshall Field
and Norman B. Ream have secured con-
troll of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. They
have made James j. Hill, president of the
Great Northern Railway, the dominating
factor in the reorganization of the system,
and have gained for Chicago and the
Northwest what is practically a trunk line
from ocean to ocean, controlled by Chicago
capital. Mr. Ream engineered the deal by
which his wealth, that of Mr.. Hill and OF
Mcssrs. Armour and Field gained con-
trolling interest in the Baltimore & Ohio,
which, hereafter, is to be a Chicago enter
prise, fed and sustained in transcontinental
affairs by the immense mileage of the Great
Northern Railway If any road completes
the gap between the terminus of the Great
Northern Railway, in St. Paul. and the
terminus of the Baltimore & Ohio, in Chi
cago, it will be the Chicago Great Western
Railway, but that is a matter for the flu
ture. Mr.. Ream will become a member of
the executive committee of the reorganized
road and either Mr.. Field or Mr.. Armour
may become a director, although in all
probability the trio will be represented by
Mr. Ream. President Hills connection with
the transaction foreshadows the statement
that he will be the prime factor in the OPP
Grating department of the new Baltimore
e. Ohio road
while the price paid by the Chicago men
is not known, the details of the transfer CT
the properties of the road have been dis
cussed at confidence held in the Audi
torium Annex. At this conference President
Hill, Mr.. Ream, John K. Cowen. president
of the Baltimore & Ohio; .. G. Murray, re-
ceiver, and William Greene, general man
ager of the road, were present. Mr.. Ream
declined to be interviewed, but one of the
Baltimore & Ohio officials confirmed the
report current in Wall street on Thursday,
and in Chicago railroad circles, that, in
addition to the holdings of the road which
the Rockefeller interests are reported to
have secured last week for Western hackers
of tn road, Messrs. Field, Armour Ream
and Hill had secured sufficient reorganiza-
ton stock to make Chicago and the West
the dominant element in the future man
agement of the road. President Cowen was
not prepared to make full statement until
after he had consulted with Mr.. Ream.
President Hill was in jubilant frame of
mind and would not deny that Field, Ar
mour and Ream had assisted him in al
most realizing his dream of having road
from the Pacific to the Atlantic controlled
by Western men,"

President HIPS statement.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Sept.N17.-President J.
]. Hill, of the Great Northern Railway
returned from Chicago to-day and made
this statement regarding the Baltimore &
Ohio story: Amy connection which may
have with the Baltimore & Ohio is simply
for the purpose of putting that road on
its feet and making 1t what it was at
in the country Recently it has failed to
such an extent that it was an incubus.
Any intention which I may have with the
y. d Q. has no connection with the Great
Northern. Neither has the Great
Northern nor myself any connection with
any railroad between St Paul and Chicago.
and furthermore, neither do l expect to
have any such connection. Some one who is
responsible for the statement to the con-
trary has an imagination that is altogether
to vivid" Further than this Mr.. Hill had
nothing to say regarding the matter.

WABASH, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE Republican
campaign in the Eleventh district was
opened here this afternoon by Judge r. S.
Taylor, of Fort Wayne, with one of the
ablest and most scholarly addresses ever
delivered by political orator in this city.
1t had been the intention to hold the meet
ing at the city park, but the threatening
weather compelled the crowd to go to the
opera house. The audience, while not so
large as had been expected was extremely
enthusiastic Judge Taylor dismissed as
unworthy of serious consideration the eff
forts of the Democracy to make an issue of
the fictitious camp horrors in the South.
He declared that he had always believed
that q protective tariff was required, not
so much to advance and maintain wages as
to provide bread for the people. He said
labor-saving inventions had thrown thou
struggle is growing sharper. The capacity
for supplying home markets, built up by
protection, had outgrown the demand
and the country must look abroad for con-
sumers.
Without declaring positively for the an
nexation of the Philippines, he said that the
Fflipinos could in time be made profitable
customers, as the Egyptians and HinduS
had under British rule, and there was prob
ably a moral duty to rescue them from
their present condition of barbarity. Con
gress, however, Is i'll adapted to governing
distant colonies he said, land a new sys-
tenn will have to be devised to administer
our South sea affairs" On the money ques-
ton Judge Taylor said that the hope ex-
listing in 1896 that an international agree
ment for the coinage of silver or for the
adoption of bimetallic standard had been
abandoned and that the issue is squarey
joined between the single silver and single
gold standard He considered it of the
utmost Importance that a Congress which
will take the first steps to give a sound
currency shall be elected. The represent
atives and senators elected must go to
Washington commissioned directly from the
people to vote for an honest currency, and
the loss of the Senate in the present con-
dition of affairs would be calamity. Judge
Taylor spoke for two hours, and held the
closest attention.
