NOOD{ORD STILL HOPEFUL.
The American Minister at Madrid Be-
lieves War May be AVerted.
Saws He Was Sent From Mckinley
With a Message of Peace, and
That He Has Devoted His Time
Solely to Securing Conditions
That Shall Make Peace Lasting
Will Not Give Up Till the Guns
Begin Firing.

MADRID, April j. e p. m.)--fn answer
to a request from The Associated Press,
General Stewart l.. Woodford, the United
States minister. has made the following
statement:
1.-THE obligations of my diplomatic posi-
ton absolutely forbid my granting an in
teryiew or giving the slightest intima-
ton as to the present condition Of the
diplomatic negotiations entrusted to my
care [ came to Spain under instruc-
lions from President Mckinley TO secure
between the United States and Spain. a
peace that should be built upon bed rock
conditions; conditions of justice to Cuba,
with assured protection to the great
American interests in that island.
Il have labored steadily to obtain this
result. / have never lost my faith, and,
doubtful as conditions may seem to-day,
/ still believe these great and good pur-
poses of my President may yet be Sc
cured. shall not desist from my labors
for a just and honorable peace until the
guns actually open fire; and my faith is
still strong that war, with all its horrors,
can be averted
Enough blood has been shed in Cuba
already, and I cannot believe that the
closing hours OF the nineteenth century
will be redeemed by a conflict between
Spain and the United States. My country
asks for peace. based upon conditions
that shall make peace permanent and
beneficient. and I have faith that Spain
will yet do what II is necessary to assure
justice to Cuba. And with justice, peace
is certain

Washington, April 3.-The Spanish
minister has received dispatch from
Havana stating that the autonomist
cabinet there has addressed an appeal
to the insurgents asking to arrange an
armistice for the purpose of arriving
at terms of peace. The full text of the
message could not be secured tonight,
as its translation was not made at the
legation. The insurgents are appealed
to on the grounds that they are all Gu
bans and should unite for peace and
liberty which all want The appeal
also states that Spain is willing to en-
large the present scope of autonomy,
and will suggest such a plan to the
Cortes, which is soon to meet.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, April 3.-The
body found on a sand bar in the New
river, at Thurmond, in Fayette coun-
ty, last Thursday, and buried here, was
disinterred yesterday and a post-mor-
tenn examination was made by physi-
clans.
The body was identified to reason
able certainty as that of Charles Tru-
gian, of Montgomery, mysteriously
missing from Thurmond, where he
was last seen in company with a col
ored man the night of the day on
which Albert Voires was hung
The place where the body was found
was again carefully examined and the
search was rewarded by the finding
of some papers belonging to Charles
Trugian.
His skull was found to be crushed in.
The closer examination of the place
where the body was found revealed
ing beeen washed there, it had been
buried there.
That Charles Trugian was robbed,
murdered and buried where he was
found cannot be doubted. He was
known to have some $500 when last
seen, and was on his way to purchase
some real estate near Loup creek.
Only $685. was found on the corpse.
The negro and white man, both Of
whom have disappeared, were the last
persons seen with the murdered man.
The verdict of the coroner's jury is
considered remarkable.
Great excitement prevails and the
people will not be satisfied until the
perpetrators of the foul crime are run
down and brought to justice
The remains will be taken to Mont
gomery for final interment.

firmed.
The levee was built by the govern

hence the people had taken no precau-
ton against a possible flood

Shanghai, April 3.-It is announced
that person Of the highest rank has
memorialized the Emperor in the most
vigorous language, accusing the whole
Tsung-Li-Yamen Chinese Foreign
Ofice) of being in the pay of Russia.
He asserts that Russia expended TO-
000000 taels in bribery during the re-
cent negotiations regarding the cession
of Port Arthur and Ta-Lien- Wan, etc,
and claims that Li-Hung-Chang
share was 1880, 0G0 taels. Thereupon
the parsonage referred to demands
full investigation and asks that Lii
Hung-Chang ne beheaded if the accu-
sations are proven, the memorializer
Offering TO be executed himself if his
charges are not sustained.
The Chinese complain bitterly of the
fact that they do not possess war
port for the five warships which are
being built for them abroad, and which
are due to arrive in Chinese waters
this summer. Unless Wei-Hai-Wei, oc-
cupied by the Japanese. is evacuated,
which is doubtful, the Chinese have
no place in which to receive their new
warships.
The Russians have permitted two
British gunboats to enter and leave

Chicago, April AT 1890 tonight
the operator in the long distance tele-
phone company's Office at Mt. Vernon,
Ind. informed the Associated Press
that the estimate on the loss of life at
ShawneetOwn was at that hour 200.
Nj Vernon is but thirty miles from
Shawneetown, and the information on
which the estimate is based is believed
to be reliable. The operator stated
that the company's wires to the
stricken city failed soon after o'clock
this afternoon. At that hour it was
known that the dam was giving way,
but it was not thought it would go to
pieces quickly enough to cause loss of
life. BY S o'clock it was known in Mt
Vernon that many people had been
drowned, the estimate then being one
hundred A relief boat. bearing food,
blankets and surgeons. was started
down the river and was expected to
reach Shawneetown before morning
Gradually the reports of loss of life
increased the estimates, stories COM
ing from various points near the
scene of the flood showing clearly that
the disaster was far more serious than
at first believed People from Mt. Ver-
non and the surrounding country be-
slesed the telephone and telegraph Of
nee, frantic for tidings from relatives
ana friends in the flooded town. No
attempt at an accurate list of the lost
was possible, however, and the crowds
stood all night before the bulletin
boards on which were posted the
Meagre reports being received.

feared that the hotel has been washed

it is 1,200 feet wide at this point. A

BULLETIN:
81 Louis, Mo-, April ga special to
the Republic from Girard, Ills, says:
A telephone message has been re-
ceiyed here from Shanweetown, Ills,
saving that at 4:30 o'clock this after
noon the levee above the city broke
and the city is inundated The water
has backed up for five miles and rush
ed down upon the city like tidal
wave.
After the message was received tele-
phone and telegraph communication
with Shawneetown was suddenly cut
off, which tends to confirm the report.
Nothing more has been learned. 1t is
,rumored that over two hundred lives
we're lost, although it is believed this
estimate is too large.
