SECRECY At WASHINGTON
Regarding the Cipher Telegram From
Minister WoodfOrd.
Department OF State Officials De-
clined Information, and Even the
President Was Appealed to IN
Vain = The Due de ARGOS, De
Lome's Probable Successor, at
the Capital.

Washington, February 13.-The
three hundred word cipher dispatch
received from Minister Woodford Sat
urday night, was translated at the
State Department to-day, but no in
timation of its import could be Sc
cured from official sources. Assistant
Secretary Of State Day, who has been
entrusted with the whole correspond
ence by the President, refused to dis
cuss the message. He said merely
that there was no development in the
case which properly could be made puo-
lie at this time. In one instance he
supplanted this statement by the re-
mark that the mere fact of informa-
ton being withheld was not to be
taken as
A SERIOUS INDICATION.
Secretary Day dined at the White
House, Mrs. Day being out of town.
Every effort to supplement Secre-
tary Days statement with some in
formation from the White House
failed To urgent appeals for some
thing definite, the President replied
through Secretary Porter that the
whole matter was in Secretary DAYS
hands, and that the President relied
on him to arrange the information
for the press.
1t was stated at the White House,
however, that there was no truth in
the rumor of a censure upon Minister
Woodford for allowing Dupuy de Lone
to forestall him in presenting the ap-
plication for the minister's recall
Minister Woodford's course it was
stated, had been entirely satisfactory
and any criticism at this time was
UNFOUNDED AND UNFAIR.
1t could not be ascertained positive
ly whether or not an answer to Min
lister Woodford's last dispatch had
been sent. 1t is almost certain, how
ever, that reply has been drafted and
that it was put in cipher at the State
Department this evening. Mr.. Sidney
T. Smith. chief of the diplomatic
bureau, was at the department until
after nine o'clock. Special orders had
also been issued to allow no one in the
building without pass.
The Duke d'Arcos, mentioned in
Madrid dispatches as a possible sue
cessor to Dupuy de LONE, has been
the guest of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Mackey-
Smith, of this city, during the past
week. With him is the Duchess
d'Arcos, formerly Miss Virginia Low
cry, of Washington. The Duke was
Ambassador to Mexico and is stop
ping in Washington en- route to Spain.
During the week he has been enter
tanned by the British ambassador ana
Lady Pauncefote at luncheon. and by
the late Spanish minister and Nine
Dupuy de LONE, who gave a dinner n
his honor Thursday evening.

A special from Clarksburg says:
Thomas R. Hornor, editor of the
News here, threatens to challenge
Virgil Highland, the Republican
County Clerk, to fight duel within
the next few days. The trouble grew
out of alleged slanderous publications
by Hornor, accusing Highland OF mall
feasance in office. Saturday last
Highland walked into Horrors office
in his absence, and cursing every
thing insight, threatened to clean out
the office soul and body. Horror be-
came enraged when he heard of it,
and now goes around town with blood
in his eye, declaring that nothing but
the life-blood Of one or other will sat
isfy him. Hornor was a student here
last winter and is very aggressive
and independent fellow.

Flying-Damage done is slight.
Fire in the court room of the court
house raised considerable excite
ment Tuesday evening just about
dark. The insulation of the electric
light wires entering the big chande-
lier at the center of the ceiling had
worn off and the metal had formed
short circuit. This caused sparks
and flame to shoot out in great pro-
fusion and greatly alarmed several
who saw the fire. John Wallace was
in an adjoining room and saw it. He
gave the alarm to the electric light
plant and John Hare came at once.
Ladders were procured and the
wires were removed. No damage to
speak of was caused as the fire was
on metal and not on wood. Had it
been wood against the wire the cir
cult would not have been formed
and no fire would have resulted
To-day the chandeliers were taken
down and the wires replaced with
new ones on which there was plenty
of insulation.
