Santa Fe, n. NJ, Sept 6.-Esquil Cano,
the ex-convict who broke jail here a
few days ago and escaped, is believed to
have murdered three women within the
past five years, besides having COM
mitted numerous robberies and bur
glaries. He was last arrested for the mur-
der OF Lola Dewarn, who was dubbed
to death on a lonely path near this city.
The authorities have concluded that he
aIsJ murdered a Japanese woman at
Albuquerque in 1895, and one year later
killed another woman. For the killing
OF the japanese woman, Edgar w. Trout
of Albuquerque is serving a 40 years
term in the penitentiary. A sheriff
posse and bloodhounds have been on
Cano's tail, but he has eluded them
1t is believed he is heading for northern
Chihuahua, Mex.

In her desire to bother American
exporters Germany has outdone her
self. 1t was all right for her to con-
denim the American cattle and Amerl-
can canned goods, because the spite
of such condemnation was expended
upon herself. Nobody believed her
to be self-supplying in these com
modities. But trichina have been
discovered once too often. The
result is no less startling revela-
tion to the world than it must
be blow to innate Teutonic
pride. Trichinp, Berlin officials
say, have been discovered in an
American sausage. This is impor-
tant if true, for it shows that Germany
is not seIf-supplying even in saul
sages. The report Of the British Off
cials will probably be refuted from
high authority. They will be told
that there are no American sausages
in Germany; hence trichinm could not
have been found in them.

minister Of war NJ. Godefroy Cavaign-
ac. on the subject Of the political sit
uation in France. as il has been affected
by the recent developments in the Drey-
fus case are reprinted today in the Echo
de Paris.
NJ Brisson is reported to have said
that all the members of the ministry
are convinced Of the guilt OF Captain
Dreyfus, but that the government must
consider the change that has come over
public opinion since the suicide last
week of Lieutenant Colonel Henry. NJ.
BrisSOn expressed the view that il is the
duty of the government to end the ex-
citement which is paralyzing the busi-
ness interests Of Paris and Of the cOun.
try.
NJ Cavagnac. in the course of the
interview printed in the Echo de Paris,
said that ii would be a serious mistake
II not a supreme act of folly on the part
of the government to persist in its pres
ent course. and that he was not willing
to participate in such a policy. You
will see" said NJ. Cavaignac, in what
condition the country vii be after a
new trial"
The newspapers of Paris point out
that NJ Cavaignac's resignation OF the
war portfolio has produced painful
impression in political circles which,
while recognizing the fact that the inno-
cenCe of Captain Dreyfus has not yet
been disproved. take the ground a new
trial of the charges against the prisoner
of Devirs island has become necessary.
1t is said in some generally we'll in
formed quarters that the premier, NJ.
BrissUn, will assume the war portfolio
relinquishng that of the interior, which
h holds in addition to the presidency
OF the council, to NJ. Vallee. In other
equally well informed circles it Is said
that General Zurlinden. who was
member of the RibOt cabinet, has ac-
Cepted the ministry of war.
When the cabinet met today the minis
ter of justice. NJ. Ferdinand Sarrien. in
formed his colleagues of the receipt of
Madame Dreyfus' request for revision
of the verdict against her husband. Al.
Sarrien promised to give a statement Of
the result of his examination into the
matter a meeting of the cabinet to be
convened after the minister of war shall
have been appointed.
The premier, NJ Brisson, explained the
reasons actuating Generals Saussier and
Zurlinden in declining the office of min
lister of war, He was now awaiting the
said. the decision of other generals to
whom he had offered the portfolio.

Shoes made III the United States
and imported into Germany have
gained so much in favor in certain
parts of Germany that official attempts
have been made to create prejudice
against their purchase by German cit
liens. Consul General Mason, at
Frankfort, in recent communication
to the state department, sheds some
light on the character OF this opposi-
ton. He furnishes a translation Of
an article published in Leipsic pa
per, which reads in part as follows ::
"The Prussian minister of commerce
and industry has addressed to the
central committee of the Union of
German Shoemakers' Guilds a sum
mons to systematic resistance to
American competition in shoe prod
ucts. 1t is known, and the fact is here
emphasized by the minister, that re-
Gently American shoes of the So
called iob-lot or inferior grades
schleudersorten' which are quite in
ferior to the solid German made shoes,
which possess u certain attractive ele-
gance of form and fnish-have been
imported with growing success into
Germany. In order to etfectually OPP
pose this import the minister recon-
mends to manufacturers, shoemakers
unions and shareholders interested in
the shoe industry to obtain samples
of such goods, and by cutting and
separating the soles and uppers,
which are made of paper and joined
by long stitches of thread, expose and
show the base quality of workman
ship, and to bring these facts to the
notice of the press and the knowledge
of their customers" The consul
however, advises that there is an op
portunity to develop and carry on {
legitimate shoe export trade with Ger
many provided that it is conducted OF
straightforward, intelligent, com
mercial basis.

Kansas City, Sept 6.-Mondays Star
had the following from its special war
correspondent w. j. Whelpley, touch
ing on the Alger Miles controversy: The
statement made semi officially from
Washington that Major General Miles
was not in command of the Santiago
expedition up to the time it left Tampa
is not borne out by the official records
of the war department. These records
prove that Miles not only conducted the
preliminarieS with General Garcia, but
was then recognized by the war depart
ment as general commanding even of
General Skaters army.
The details of General Skaters actual
equipment and method of movement
were naturally left to Shafter, but a gen
eral plan was devised by General Miles
and directions were issued to General
Shafter by him which, after leaving
Tampa with the full knowledge that he
was subject to orders from General
Miles, and up to that time the war de-
partment recognized this state of affairs.

Havana, Sept. 6.-The civil governor

the mayors of the provincial towns in

takes, to correct the ignorance regard

government, unaided by any foreign

arms and ending the war has had a
good effect. The cultivation of fields
has been resumed in some quarters. On
several estates near Gunes, this prov
ince, work has been begun at a daily
wage of 20 cents. Reports from Baracoa
by way of Cienfuegos, say that absolute
peace and quiet reign there and in the
k.cinity. Considerable disease is re-
ported from Guines; and grip and in
fectious fever have become epidemic in
Havana, which is natural, as the poor
and middle classes, already weakened
by low diet during the blockade, fall
an easy prey.

Washington, Sept. 6-General Nunez
of the Cuban army has returned to
Washington, having been on an expedi-
tion which took supplies to the Cubans
He left this country before the war was
closed. and landed at several points and
delivered his supplies. General Nunez
reports a great deal of distress among
the Cubans, and says it will be still
greater on account of the inability of
the Cubans to forage and raid various
places where they formerly obtained
supplies. General NuneZ says that one
reason why the Spaniards are making
it difficult to supply food to the Cubans
is that they want to compel the latter to
take provisions by force, and thus create
disturbances and trouble and stir up
strife between the Americans and Gu
bans, which will tend to discredit them.
The Spaniards are willing food shall be
given to their immediate people. but do
not want it taken to the Cubans, says
the general.
