WASHINGTON. April ll.-Ihe spanish
government, through it's minister at
Washington, Senior Polo y Bernabe,
delivered an important official doou.
ment to the state department stating
that the armistice which the queen re.
gent Of Spain had commanded General

had granted liberal institutions to the
island of Cuba which the coming Gu.

pressed by the queen regent and her
government on the disaster of the
Maine and the horror this disaster had
oocasioned in Spanish hearts, and ap-
pealing to the courtesy and sense Of
justice Of the United States government
to enlighten public opinion upon the
attitude of Spain. The note also re.
peats the offer Of the Spanish govern.
ment to
Submit the Maine Question to Exports
designated by the maritime powers Of
the world. This document was the
official notification Of the Spanish gov.
ernment to the United States Of grant
ing an armistioe and its essential terms.
Minister Woodford's dispatch had
briefly stated the fact that an armistioe
had been agreed upon, but it was not
communicated ~ coming from the
Spanish government. This latest com.
munication cleared up misrepresentation
on tho most vital point Of Spain's con-.
osssion, namely, that the armistice was
without conditions. The mote was re-
oe,ved BY tho state department after
the first cabinet meeting and was one
Of tho main subjects Of consideration
at tho second cabinet meeting. The
document goes into detail regarding
tho ':liberal concessions" made to Cuba
and declares they are tho same % those
enjoyed by Canada under British rule.
In addition Cuba is represented In the
parliament 1T Madrid.

Other members of the two regiments
of regulars stationed here who We're ex-
amined were Captain Warning of the
First, Lieutenant Lutz of the Second,
Quartermaster Sergeant Stahl of the
Second and Private Hounchell of the

was a difference in rations issued while
the troops were in the trenches in the
vicinity of Santiago, there was no real
suffering on the part of the men on
this account. They expressed them
selves as satisfied that they received as
good attention as they could have ex-
pected under the circumstances.

Previous to Lieutenant Hobson's de-
parture for Washington he was ques-
toned by a reporter as to the prospect
of raising the sunken Spanish war YES
sells off Santiago. He said he was now
engaged in the preliminary work on the
Cristobal Colon, and that it would take
at least three weeks more before every
thing would be ready. The Govern
ment had appropriated $500, 600 for the
raising of the vessel, but it will be
money well spent, he said, if the VEN
ture proves a success, as the ship is
worth 100000
The purpose of his visit TO this coun-
try, Mr. Hobson said was to see the
Secretary of the Navy regarding fur
Their work on the warships. He thought
the Vizcaya could be saved, but would
not affirm positively. She had settled
in the sand, which has formed a thick
bed around her, so that she is resting
in an easy position, but a dry dock
would have to be built around her be-
ton of 81 100000 would cover the work
of raising the Vizcaya, and would en-
able the Government to bring her north
and put her into good condition. She

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 24-The
"Picayune's" Forest, Miss, special
says: Eleven dead negroes and one
dead white man is the result at this
writing of the war being ragged between
the whites and blacks near Harpers-
vile. Several of the rioters have been
captured and lodged in Jail at Forest
to-day, but the others escaped into the
swamps. Large crowds of white men
are in close pursuit, however, and more
names are hourly expected to be added
to the death list.
Following is a partial list of the
killed: Black-Fish Burbe, j. E. Gate
wood, Henry Anderson, John Gatewood,
Hugh Anderson. Sim HARRISON, Ben
HARRISON. White-W. II. Sibley.
The wounded-Black-Ned Pace.
White-James Hamilton, NJ. Johnson,
James Armstrong.
1t is impossible to obtain full list
of the killed, for the reason that some
of the negroes were shot down in the
woods. and We're hurriedly buried by
the whites where they fell. A MEM
Der of the posse said that he helped
bury the negroes in trenches, but
neither himself or anyone in his crowd
knew their names, and they did not
care enough about them to inquire.
Governor McLaurin went to Har-
persville last night and appealed to the
whites not to modest the prisoners in
the custody of the Sheriff The Gov
ernor's talk had a good effect in the
majority of those in the crowd, but
some of the hot-headed members did
not relish the Governors interference,
but he finally persuaded the crowd to
permit the Sheriff to take the prisoners
to Jail. Sheriff Stevenson has placed
additional guards at the Forest Jail
20 prevent the lynching of the rioters
now in custody. Two negroes who are
under arrest have made full confess
sion.
The funeral of the murdered officer.
Sibley, occurred at Harpersville to-
day ano fvas attended by hundreds Of
people.
murdered mans brothers are on their
way from his home in YaZoo County
at the head of a large crowd, bound for
the scene of the race war. 1t is feared
that when they arrive a determined
and successful assault will be made on
the Forest Jail, and all of the rioters
confined therein lynched.
Later-Sheriff Stevenson considered
the situation so serious tonight that he
decided to take the prisoners to Meridv
ian for safe keeping. A large posse
was organized, and the negroes will be
placed on the 9 o'clock train.

MAJOR GENERAL MERRITT.
Welded Yesterday to Miss Laura
Williams of Chicago

LONDON, Oct. 24.-GeneraI Merritt
and Miss Laura Williams of Chicago
were married at o'clock this even
ing in the brides apartments at the
Savoy Hotel.
1t had been planned to have the cere-
mony take place in St. Andrews
Church, Westminster, but an illness
which Miss Williams contracted during
the voyage necessitated the simplest
possible ceremony and the avoidance
of exertion and excitement. Conse
quently only a few most intimate
friends We're present. They We're Mrs.
Norman Williams, the brides mother;
Norman Williams, Jr., brother of the
bride; Lord and Lady Arthur Butler
and Henry White, United States Charge
d'Affaires, and Marshal Dodge.
A less ostentatious wedding could not
be imagined. The General strolled from
the Metropole to the Savoy unattended,
wearing a beaver hat, frock coat and
white tie. The party gathered in the
drawing groom, which had been beauti-
fed by few flowers. The Rev. John
Heathcote rector of ST Andrews, Off
ciated. The bride entered on the arm
of her brother, who gave her away. She
was dlIlreu IN WnlIe Sdtln, ana wore
the usual veil and orange blossoms.
Though looking i'll, the bride stood
throughout the ceremony and pro-
nounced the responses in a strong
voice.
After the ceremony Mr.. White pro-
posed the health of the bride, which
was drunk with enthusiasm, and the
members of General Merritt's staff en-
tered and congratulated the newly
married couple. The guests afterward
departed, and Mr.. and Mrs. Merritt
dined alone.
The brides illness, which for a time
it was feared would develop into ty-
phoid fever, was the cause of the
abandonment of the ceremony which
was to have taken place in st. An
drew's Church. In fact, yesterday it
was thought the wedding would have
to be postponed indefinitely, but Miss
Williams was so improved this morning
that it was decided at noon not to de-
lay the wedding, but abandon the pro-
posed ceremony in the church
The illness of the bride has not prov
en- as serious as expected, and General
and Mrs. Merritt will be able to carry
out their plan Of going to Paris at, the
end OF the week. They will proceed
to the Philippine Islands after the ad-
journment of the Peace Commission.

GEN. WOODS NARROW ESCAPE.
Game Near Meeting With a Very
Serious Disaster.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct 24.-Gen-
eral Wood, the acting military COM
mander here, and Major Brooke had a
narrow escape last evening from a SER
ious disaster. They had started down
the bay on the way to MORO Castle on
board a steam launch, which, seeming
iy, had hundred pounds of steam reg
istered. But she lost fifty pounds in
the first two minutes, and a green engi-
neer who was in charge of her, discov-
ering that there was little or no water
in the boiler, was about to fill it while
it was almost red hot. Major Brooks
saw the danger, stopped the launch,
had the fire drawn, and the launch was
towed back to port.

So far the American Commissioners,
while preserving firm attitude, have
treated the SpaniardS with the utmost
courtesy and consideration, allowing
frequent postponements of the work of
the Joint commission to accommodate
the Spaniards, but now, at to-day's
meeting, probably. without departing
from their courteous treatment of the
Spaniards, the American Commission

and Cuban sovereignty as passed and
beyond recall.
EVACUATION OF CUBA.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The Presi-
dent has had an exceedingly busy fore
noon to-day. Attorney General Griggs
and Secretaries Long, Hay and Alger
called about 10 o'clock, and the Pres
ident discussed with them several
matters which he found waiting his at
tention on his arrival from the West.
A telegram from General Wade at
Havana was read recommending that
the limit of time allowed the Spaniards
to vacate Cuba be extended from De-
cember LIST to January 1st He said
that it would be physically imp ssible
for the $4,000 Spanish troops now on
the island to leave before the first of
the year, and he regarded the extern
sion of time as reasonable and just.
AfteC the matter had been discussed
at some length, an agreement was
reached, and General Wade was tel
egraphed that his recommendation was
approved. Meanwhile, however, the
United States troops in Cuba and 9TH
ers to be dispatched will take possess
ion of the territory as fast as the Span
iards vacate it, probably leaving Ha-
vana till the last
In regard to the reported purpose Of
the Spaniards to dismount and remove
to Spain the heavy ordnance of the
forts and arSenals about Havana, 1t
was stated in positive terms that moth
ing of the kind would be permitted, and
if this movement had already begun, it
would be stopped at once. The in
structions given our Evacuation Com
missioners at Havana covered all of
these questions, and explicitly proved
that only the arms in the hands of the
troops and what is generally under
stood as impedimenta would be per-
mitted to be taken away.
Nothing Of special Importance has
been received recently from our Peace
Commissioners at Paris. 1t was again
reiterated to-day that under no cir
cumstances would the United States
assume any part of the Cuban debt or
the debt charged against the Philip
pine Islands. 1t might be possible
that the United States would assume
or guarantee the municipal obligations
of Havana or other Cuban cities or at
least would not permit them to be re-
pudiated. The same might be true of
Manila, but as to the national debt,
which Spain had seen fit to charge
against Cuba or the Philippines, neith-
er would be in any sense guaranteed.
This policy, it was declared, our Com
missioners well understood, and it
would not be receded from in the
slightest degree.
