Council Bluffs, Jan. 27.-I. L. Stat
zell, of Extra, Iowa, lies at the point
of death at the Grand Hotel in Coun-
Gil Bluffs, the victim of an overdose of
laudanum taken with suicidal intent.
He will die before morning. Mr..
Statzell registered at the Granda week
ago, and has been engaged in business
in Council Bluffs and Omaha in the
interval, but there is nothing among
his effects to show what his Vocation
was. About 10 O'clock today he sent a
telegram to his wife, saying his return
home would be delayed a day and
from that hour until this evening,
when q bell boy climbed through the
transom and found him an uncon-
scious condition on the bed, nothing
was seen of him.

i. Il. Statzell, of this city, one of the
foremost lawyers of this county, has
been in Council Bluffs on business the
past week. His relatives and friends
and all Extra were shocked this, Fri
day, morning by kilograms announce
ing his death at the Grand hotel, in
Council Bluffs. AS we are not in pos
session of the real facts at this time we
publish the dispatches below, but can
not understand that Mr.. Statzell's con-
dieion is due to suicidal intent. His
lame arm causes him considerable
pain and we think in taking dose of
laudunum for relief he took an over
amount:
Died, at the Grnad Hotel, in Council
Bluffs, on Friday morning, at clock,
of an over dose of laudanum, evidently
taken with suicidal intent, Mr.. I. l..
Statzell, an attorney, of Extra. He
had been a guest at the hotel for six
days, and had telegraphed to his wife
at 10 o'clock, on Thursday, that he
would not be home that evening. Mr..
Statzell had been, to Omaha and pur-
chased brace for his arm and, return
in to the hotel at Council Bluffs, he
went up to his room. At o'clock, on
Thursday, he had not come down, and
falling to appear at supper time bell
boy was sent to his room to call him
but the door was locked and he could
not gain admittance. When these
facts were, made known the hotel clerk,
who had slight acquaintance with
Statzell, went upstairs to Investigate
and, /" boosting" the bell boy through
the transom over the door to his room
he unlocked it and they found Statzell
lying on the bed, dressed in his night
clothes, with an empty two-ounce bot
tie on the stand beside the bed marked
laudanum. Statzell was evidently in
great distress, as lie was breathing
heavily. DR.. Jennings was called and
worked with the patient from dark
until two o'clock Friday morning
when he died. x ::
In his grip I" was found change of
linen and two pairs of children's rub
Der boots. Judge Walter I. Smith had
asked StatZell to go home to dinner
with him but he had refused, giving
some trivial excuse. Other papers
went to show that Statzell was engag-
ed to try several law cases in the Dis
trict Court, at Atlantic, this week.

CUBAN BONDS.

Very much is heard about Cuban
bonds and the part they are playing in
the present controversy between the
United States and Spain. The London
Economist, in its issue of March %,
has an analysis of the Cuban debt, and
from the high authority of the Econo-
mist, it is presumably correct. 1t
terms the debt Stock and it consists
of three classes, and the floating debt
The oldest Cuban bonds were issued
in 1856, and amounted to $124.O00.000,
with interest at per cent. These bonds
were guaranteed, first by a lien on the
revenues of the Cuban customs; sec
ond, by the guarantee of ali the rev.
enues of the island; third, by the sub
sidiary guarantee of the Spanish treas
ury. February there was still out
standing Sill, 970, 900 of these bonds. In
1890 there was issued by authority of
the imperial cortes $175. 200, goo of per
cent Cuban stock, with exactly the
same security as that of the first loan
the subsidiary guarantee of the Span
ish treasury in addition to the lien on
Cuban revenues. On February 1 there
were outstanding $171. 10000 of this
issue. Of the ownership of these bonds
the Economist says: Both stocks are
chiefly held by Spanish investors, and
a very small number of the 1886 issue
are in foreign hands"
The third and last issue of Cuban
stock" amounts to 60,OO0,OO0, and
was floated in Spain to raise funds
for carrying on the Cubar war. Addi-
tional security had to be given, and
there was no attempt to pledge Cuban
revenues. The loan was guaranteed by
the imperial treasury, with a lien on
all the Spanish customs in addition to
extraordinary duties on alcohol, alco-
holic drinks, sugar, etc.
These are the bonds that some con-
tend the United States would have to
guarantee in the event of the annex
alton of Cuba or the securing of the
independence of the island by the aid
of this government. No doubt, the
holders of these bonds would be very
glad to have this government guaran-
tee them. for it would Immediately
send them way above par; but the
guarantee will not be given. The hold
ers of the bonds bought them as a
speculation and they will have to make
the best of their bargain, which seems
to have been very bad.

THE CUBAN RESOLUTION
PASSED.

The senate and house have passed the
senats resolution, the-only modification
being the omission of the clause .recog-
ilizing the republic of Cuba. It can
scarcely be doubted that the president
viii sign the resolution. And what will
Spain do? VIII she submit to the in
evitable without struggle, or win she
only submit when she can no longer
struggle to retain possession of her
dearly cherished island? 1t seems i'm
possible that she should relinquish her
sovereignty over the island without a
struggle, even though that sovereignty
is no longer real, scarcely. nominal. VIII
Senior Polo demand his passports, or
will he wait for further developments?
II Spain quietly withdraws from Cuba
there will be no war; if she refuses to,
there will be war. The moment she re-
fuses to comply with our demands,
there should be no hesitation to begin
active operations to enforce them. The
war begun in earnest. it should be
made as short and sharp as possible,
that it may not spread. If war is now
averted, it will be nothing less than a
miracle.

THE SPIRIT OF THE NAVY.

In these times when a war cloud
hangs over all the land people natur-
ally wonder what the spirit of the navy
is. if it is still like that of 1872 and 1s61-5
What the spirit of the navy is today is
we'll illustrated by an incident that oc-
Cured in New York the other day. the
account of which we take from the
Evening Post.
One of the men of the battleship Tex
as, in full uniform, burdened with
small bundles of merchandise which
he had bought preparatory to going to
Key West to join his ship, was walking
through Oliver street last evening to-
ward the navy yard ferry, when he
overheard two Spaniards saying i'll
things of our president, our navy, and
our man-o'-war's men. He had served
in the West Indies and knew Spanish,
and when he heard the Spaniards de-
clare that our fighting ships were mere
tubs, he cleared for action, so to say,
by dropping his packages, and engaged
with the offending civilians.
In the Center Street police court this
morning he described these circum-
stances in explanation of his arrest for
disorderly conduct, adding that he, Gus
Cassowan by name, was the sailmak-
er's smith of the Texas, that he was
sick in hospital when she steamed
away, and was now about to join her.
The patrolman who arrested Cassowan
corroborated his prisoners story suf-
ficiently, and supplemented it with the
information that the two Spaniards
ran away too fast for him to catch
them also. At that Magistrate Ohm
