Mr.. Mason built the engines of the H.
fated battleship Maine. work he re-
garded as his best achievement. All the
skill he had at his command after nearly
fifty years experience IN engine build
ing, he put into what ne regarded as the
greatest work Of his life.
The news of the destruction Of the Maine
Mortified Mr.. Mason. 1t preyed upon his
mind and finally sent him to sick bed,
from which he never rose.
The rumors prevalent for few days fol-
lowing the blowing up Of the Maine, that
the disaster had been caused by defective
boilers, served to Increase the already dan
gerous condition of the engine builder. His
family believe this to be the direct cause
leading TO his death. He was stricken with
apoplexy and paralysis. For time he
could neither speak nor move. When he
was at one time thought to be at the point
Of death he recovered the partial use Of
his vocal organs, but only raved about the
Maine. He would speak Of the vessel and
It's engines as II they were living things.
He cried aloud over the fate Of what he
called "his ship"

constitution for confederacy to consists
of the states of Salvador, Honduras and
Nicaragua has agreed upon forty-two Of
the 149 articles.
1t has been agreed that the name Of the
confederacy shall be the United States OF
Central America.
The decisions arrived at are as to what
the people and the states shall not do, not
what the people have conceded to the gov
eminent of the United States Of Central
America. They declare that there shall be
no death penalty enforced by any state and
that no state shall cede any Of Its terri
tory. They bride the liberty Of the press
and of public declarations OF opinions ad-
verse to the government. The work Will
not be completed until about Nov LIST.
The diet Of the Greater Republic Of Cen

Nicaragua for all the documents In Its
archives relating to the construction OF an
linteroceanic canal across Nicaragua for
the purpose, as e. Liberal. government

America appears to have decided to con-
struct the canal"
The NicaraguaU government recently

plated doing. 100 per cent on the present

VACATION CUT SHORT
Public Business Urgently Requires the
Presidents Attention

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 3O.-While Pres
ident Mckinley very much desired to pay
more than brief visit to his old home In
Canton, he finds that the duties Of his Of
flee are such that he will be obliged to cut
his visit there to mere call.
The President will spend a couple of days
in camp at Montauk Point and Camp WI
koff, so as to correctly inform himself as
to the condition of affairs and the truth
Of the reports that have been circulated
from personal observation and contact with
the men. The Presidential party will be at
Col. Myron T. Herrick's residence in this
city until Thursday morning, when they
leave for Canton.
Big preparations have been made to re-
ceive the President and Mrs. Mckinley by
their old friends and neighbors and the
people of Canton in general 1t was the
intention to make the occasion a civic Jul
biee. All this, however, will now be re-
duced In a measure from the fact that
President Mckinley and party will only be
In Canton for two or three hours and will
then take train for New York.
Upon returning from the morning drive
the president took a nap and after lunch
received Postmaster Gordon Of Chicago.
Mr.. Gordon presented the invitation Of chi
cago to attend the big peace jubilee In that
city, Mr.. Mckinley deferred any definite
answer.
Justice White and Secretary Of State Day
arrived In the house about o'clock in the
evening, undoubtedly to consult with the
president over the formers decision as to
acting secretary of the peace commission.
Mrs. Mckinley was ndisposed by a slight
cold and remained within doors during the
day.
A conference of great importance was held
at Col. Herrick's home tonight. Presiden,
| Mckinley, Secretary Day and Justice
White were the conferees and they were
| closeted together after dinner until late
hour. 1t was admitted that the converse.
ton had to do with the appointment on the
peace commission offered by the presiden
! to Justice White, but ct a late hour It wat
announced that no definite conclusion hat
been reached, although hope was expressed
that Justice White would see his way cleal
to accept the appointment.

General Vara del Rey Was Killed at
Ell Caney.
ESCORTED BY AMERICAN TROOPS
Cubans Astonished at This Courtesy
to Dead Foe.
5 PAN "A RDS PLEASE

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, November p
Word was received here late last night
that after hard days search the body OF
Gen. Nara del Rey had been discovered
near Ell Cancy. in spite of the efforts OF the
cub9ns to prevent its discovery The re-
mains of the general have been ilentiHei
not only by his long white beard but slso
by the decorations which were on the
breast of the corpse. Notwithstanding the
TACT that the local pawnshops here have
sold very many medals and otkor dccora-
uons which were supposed to have been
taken from the breast OF Vara del Rey
after he killed.
AT daylight this morning a procession
escorting the body commenced the tourney
toward Santiago and arrived at the out
skirts OF this city shortly after s o'c'ock.
where it was met by four companies Of the
5th United States Infantry and band OF
music
These troops then escorted the body
through the main streets of Santiago. the
band playing the dead march from saul"
TO the intense astcrishment Of the Cubans,
who are unable. to undo rstand why honors
should be paid TO q dead foe, many OF
them saying that the Americans are now
favoring the Sparlards
Taken 10 Undertakers.
The remains were taken to an undertake
ing establishment. and when the body OF
Gen. Santicildes. who was killed by the In
surgents at Bayamo, at the outbreak of the
insurrection, is recovered. the two bodies
will be taken on board mail steamer
be und for Havana. -a-
One of Gen. galdarame's sids-de-c4mp
sen of Saaticiides, says the Spanish officers
are exceedingly pleased at the treatment
they have received. one OF them renarking
that 1t is very different from that accorded
TO Gems. Torai and Lihares, who they
calm, were permitted TO depart without any
salute from the forts. The Spaniards re-
gard this as a lack of the courtesy due to
the conquered generals under the circum-
stances.
Gen. Leonard Wood. accompanied by Gen.
Brooke, has returned a call made upon hun
by Gen. Valdarame. The latter expressed
himself as being greatly Obliged by the
courtesies extended to the Spanish officers
ana he was also anxious to obtain the name
and rank OF Lieut.. Hanna, on account OF
the valuable assistance the lieutenant has
rendered TO the Spaniards In recovering the
body of Gen. Vara del Rey.
General Naldarame is desirous OF recon-
mending to the Spanish government that
some honor be bestowed upon Lieutenant
Hanna In recognition of his courtesy and
kindness.
Gen. Wood an Ideal Soldier.
The Spanish general informed some
friends after the visit that he regarded
General Wood as the ideal type of a SOL
der.
The Cuban papers express themselves
very bitterly against allowing the body to
be removed ostensibly basing their pro-
tests on sanitary reasons, but this scarce
ly applies TO the case, as the bodies of
Americans are shipped home by every
transport leaving here.
