SPAIN REPLIES.
(ConcInded fram Firat PngeN

peror Francis Joseph nor any of his ad-
visers ever had the remotest intention OF
attempting to exert influence upon the nego-
tiations between Washington and Madrid.
On the contrary, the AuStro-IIungarian gov
eminent remained perfectly neutral through
out and would probably even be content to
see the inefficient Spanish administration in
the Philippines superseded. 1t is not even
certain that Germany would prove irrecon-
cilable to American annexation of the
archipelago, but, looking to the suspicious
German conduct has aroused, it is quite
time for Germany officially to declare her
policy
The Madrid correspondent of the Stand
ard says: There is considerable disap-
pointment in high quarters at the failure Of
the Spanish peace commissioners to obtain
any important concessions, at least financial
ones, from the United States. Seniors Mon
tero Rios, Garnica and Abarzuza are re-
preached with conducting the negotiations
too much like lawyers and without suf1i-
ciently attending to the more conciliatOry
suggestions of their colleagues on the COM
mission. In the same strain it is argued
that Senior Montero Rios would undoubtedly
earn popularity by declining to sign peace
treaty on such harsh conditions and by
periodically throwing up his mission But
all sensible people share Senior Sagasta's
opinion that it would be better to secure
peace on any terms, while protesting against
ungenerous treatment. There is a wide
spread feeling in Spain that it would be bet
ter to get rid of the ungrateful colonies and
Of everything calculated to lead to fresh
American aggressions. The bitterness of the
feeling against the United States is now
greater than ever among all classes. Ger
tainly the governments principal preoccupa-
ton is the question of Carlist rising but
it is believed that any attempt could be
speedily suppressed"
ThSParis correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph says: II understand that Senior
Sagasta desires to protract the Paris nego-
tiations to the utmost, because he fears,
first, that the signature of a peace treaty
will be the end of his public life, and, in the
second place, because he desires to stave off
if possible the fall of the dynasty"

HAVANA, Nov. 16-The joint session of

about two hours. 1t is believed that an I'M
Outstanding was reached regarding the date
of evacuation The ultimatum sent to the
Spanish commissioners a fortnight ago pro-

that the Spaniards have agreed to that
date and are making an effort to secure
temporary residence here after it, as it may
not be possible to embark all their troops
until some time later. This aspect of the
question is believed to have been considered
to-day, but the question of fixed and NOV

ROCKVILLE. Ind, Nov. 16.-John c.
Leonard, representing the Singer Sewing
Machine Company in Rockville, has been
mysteriously missing since last Saturday.
He left that day for Roseville, Mecca and
Montezuma to make collections. He was
seen in Mecca in the afternoon, and about
dark turned up at the Brockway Clubhouse,
near Armiesburg, the banks of the
Wabash. He hitched his horse, took his
small satchel from the buggy, casually re-
marking it was too valuable to lose" and
carried it in the house. While eating sup
per man by the name of Lindsey, from
Clinton, came in and wanted company to
go with him to Montezuma, one and a
quarter miles up the river. Leonard offered
his services, telling friend to take good
care of his horse and Satchel. as he would
be- back soon. 1t was after dark when the
two men got in small boat, which was
considered unsafe, and n AIDE the hard pull
against the swift current to Montezuma.
They We're seen in Montezuma, and, with
others, were drinking. About 1920 D. m
Leonard with his new friend went to the
river. His friend refused to go back in the
Same boat. Leonard said he would risk it
and go by himself. The boat containing
Leonard was pushed out into the river and
Lindsey returned in another boat with two
men. This was the last seen of Leonard
alive. Half mile from where he started,
on the same side of the river, his boat was
found to-day. In 1t was his hat and letter
from ]. p. Staub, of Terre Haute, stating
he would be in Rockville Tuesday, Nov. 10,
to check up the Singer accounts. The oars
were in their respective locks, and no other
trace was found OF the man. He possibly
fell out of the boat and was drowned or
may have been murdered. Some allege he is
alive and gone. His books and accounts are
being examined On election day he did
good work for the Republican party, help
ing the young men elect Congressman
Faris and the local ticket He is married
and was about thirty-eight years old.

LOGANSPORT, Ind, Nov. ia lively
contest over the possession Of the office
Of township trustee in Logansport is on.
At the recent election the Democrats of
this township nominated Silas B. Moon for
the office of township trustee. The Repub-
licans made no nomination, claiming that
no election could be held this year for
trustee under the law passed by the last
Legislature extending the term of town
ship trustees. The Democrats based their
action on the fact that the present in
cumbent of the Office is an appointee to
I'LL out an unexpired term. Some few
weeks prior to the election the trustee of
Eel township Robert +. Johnson. a Repub-
lican, died, and the county commissioners
not being in session. County Auditor Pow
ell appointed Charles Ringleben, another
Republican, to fill the unexpired term
The Democrats claim that by. reason of
this death the vacancy should be filled
at the next regular election which was
last week. Having no opponent Mr.. Moon
the Democratic nominee of course received
a majority and claims the office. YeSter-
day he presented his bond to the auditor
who refused TO approve it. Mr. Moon then
made a formal demand on Mr. Ringleben
for the office of trustee and was refused.
He has now retained attorneys and will
apply to the Circuit Court to compel Mr..
Ringleben to surrender.

1t is rather interesting the way in which
the Indiana man has made himself ''numer-
Gus" in the Century Magazine. Roswell
Smith was, | believe. a native of New York;
but at the time of that memorable meeting
with DR.. John G. Holland. on a steamship,
that resulted in the founding of the first
Scribners magazine, afterwards the Cen
fury, he had just completed a long and sue
cessful business career at Lafayette, Ind.
About the time the magazine started
young man from the opposite quarter of the
on to New York in search of a business OPP
portunity, and at a mere venture applied
at the publishing house of the Scribners.
He made a favorable presentation of him
SELF and was given a place-not a very inn
portant one, but quite all he could have
hoped for at the beginning. This young man
was Mr.. Frank Scott, who, since Roswell
Smiths death. has been president of the
Century Company. From Indiana came also
Mr. elders present associate in the editor
ship Robert I. Johnson. He made his way
in, however, by Chicago where he was first
the representative of the Scribners in some
of their book interests One Of the editors
of St. Nicholas, Mr.. Clark, also is an In
diana man. He and Mr.. Scott and Mr..
Johnson are even from the same county;
but they graVitated to the Century estab-
lishment each by his own impulse and en-
ergy and quite Independently of one an
other. SO 1t must. when the whole company
of Century Hoosiers finally encountered
space and so far from their common native
home, have been as much of a surprise to
them as the story of it now is to other
DeODle.

DROP IN OIL PRICES.
Quotations Reduced While Output Is
Less than Demand.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Nov. 16-After
a continuous advance of the past three
months the first decline in crude petroleum
came yesterday, and was followed by an
other decline to-day. The change effected
both the Eastern and Western products,
and came in the nature of a surprise to the
producers, who claim that the runs are still
less than the shipments consequently they
fail to grasp the meaning of the situation.
Tuesday quotations dropped 2 cents on
Eastern and l cent on Western, and were
followed by another cent drop on the East
ern product to-day. The recent big strike
in the Rich valley field, near Peru, is at
tracing many producers in Indiana and
Ohio and there are indications that there
will be a revival of that abandoned field
The operators have been most active, and so
anxious are they to bring in good wells
while the product is at a good price they
are willing to take chances on almost any
kind of territory, and much 'wildcatting
has been the result. Among the prominent
leasers in the Rich valley are: William
Page. Montpelier, representing the Ohio Oil
Company; John A. Willard, of Portland; r.
L. Mitchell and Emerson Puddy, Lima O. :;
Curry Harris, of Lima, and l.. G. Boyd, of

Probably most of these who read the story
of the killing of the negroes in Greenwood
county yesterday will be made sick. We
hope so.
There was no question of maintaining
white supremacy or of defense of homes or
persons The laws in this State secure and
guarantee white supremacy, for the present,
at least. The men who were killed were I'M
armed and helpless prisoners. They were
shot, riddled and mutilated without a
chance for their lives. So far as ii known
or was known to those who killed them
they had not even committed an offenSe
against any law or any person.
Some negro killed Ethredge at Phoenix
treacherously and without provocation:
Other negroes shot Miller, Fleming and
Younger So long as negroes were in sight
with arms in their hands or even running
away in circumstances indicating that they
had been fighting might fight, the white
men had the right considering the circum-
stances and conditions to shoot them. But
when a man has surrendered, when he is
prisoner, disarmed and helpless, every rule
of civilized warfare and every instinct of
manhood demands that his condition be re-
Spected.
When the story came that the Spaniards
had mutilated our dead at Guantanamo a
CRY of horror and demand for vengeance
came from the whole civilized world. All

An Oil DriIIer's Trick Exposed.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
DECATUR, Ind, Nov. ia few weeks
ago drillers abandoned what was supposed
to be two salt water wells on the farm of
Michael Zehr. in the Adams county oil field,
south of this city. AS soon as he learned
of the fact Mr. Zehr secured an expert and
began working the abandoned wells In a
few days they were producing oil in paying
quantities, and in less than two weeks over
six tanks were filled with good oil. The
wells will be shot" in few days, and it
is believed they will be gushers. Just why
the wells were abandoned so soon is not
apparent, but is supposed to be trick of
the men who leased the land to secure a
bargain later on. Mr.. Zehr is now refus-
ing big money for leases on other parts of
his farm. This will no doubt start a new
boom in the Geneva oil fields.
