TANNER MEANS IT.

Said Imported Negroes Could Not Land
in virden and They Go On.
VIRDEN, Ills, Oct. 14-The excite.
ment of Wednesday prior to the ar
rival Of the negro train was equaleo
last night when it became known that
a special train consisting Of one box
car, three apparently empty coaches
and caboose that had passed through
here at $50 o. clock bore two carloads
of negroes taken through here to
Springfield on the day Of the fight.
The train went south and by a clever
ruse succecded in passing through Vir-
den quietly and without interference.
A big crowd Of miners was at the sta
ton, but the militia held them in
check. When the train stopped at the
stockade. Captain FEWER, who was in
command, shouted:
Not Allowed to Disembark.
"Don't allow any one to disembark
from that train"
The gate was opened and q file of
soldiers rushed out on the double
QUICK with fixed bay oners ana 1lneu mp
alongside the train. General Manager
Lukens made formal request that the
employees be allowed to land and enter
the stockade. Captain FEWER declined
to grant this. Then Mr.. Lukens put 1t
the form OF demand, but the officer
replied that he was under orders from
Govsrnor Tanner to prevent the disem-
barkation Of any negro miners at the
works and he would have to carry ont
these instructions. General Manager
Lukens protested in vain and the train;
pulled out, headed south. n

BAYoNNE, France, Oct. 19-Advices
received here from Madrid point to eff

Members Of the military club openly
and severely criticize the government

suggest the establishment Of a military
dictatorship under the present dynasty.
The officials at Madrid deny the re-
port current on the continent that Cap

sovereignty over CUBA. Ihese two poluls
are definitely settled and are not open to
discussion. Besides, the Spaniards make
it point Of honor to scrupulously abide
BY their engagements towards their con-
querers. :.
THE question Of the Cuban debt re-
mains. Upon which power should the
onerous obligation Of guaranteeing the
debt rest 2 Here is where the two COM
missions differ in their views, and
neither is inclined to yield. The Span
agree on the following lines:
when power annexes territory, it
is implied that it assumes all the obliga-
tions previously Of such territory. It is
international law, sanctioned by usage
and which has always been complied
with. Thus, when France annexed Sa.
voy. she assumed all the debts contract.
ed by the latter while still an Italian
province.
Lastly they remind their opponents
that Cuba is virtually the key Of the
Gulf Of Mexico, strategic position oi
the first order to the United States and
an immense advantage, which calls fol
some sacrifice upon the part Of the
Americans.
Consents 20 Discuss the Matter.
TO this the latter replied at first, that
they could not listen to any discussion
Of the matter of the debt, being under
| formal instructions from their govern
ment But on the Spanish commission
insisting, and in the presence Of its very
firm attitude, the Americans have taken
more conciliatory attitude; not that
i they entertain the intention Of yielding
to Spain's injunctions, but they consent
to argue against the Spanish position.
These arguments may be briefly sum-
med up as follows:
s'The Americans insist upon the fact
that the money raised by the Cuban
loans was not applied to the require
ments or interests Of the island, but was
chiefly borrowed to the end of'improv-
ing the financial conditions Of Spain,
and to procure funds which she could no
longer raise in the peninsula, and that
the debt, therefore, is personal to Spain.
ION the other hand, the Americans
say that America has no intention Of
annexing Cuba and could not therefore
assume such obligations.
Finally, it is held that, owing to the
fabulous cost Of the late war, the Amer
lean people would not concede the right
to thus assume such obligations.

Mark the Extreme Limit of Span
ish Resistance to the In
evitable,
And That They Will Gradually
Retire From the Attack on
Our Position.
Purpose Believed to Be to In.
fluence the Government at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-lt is hoped,
though hardly expected, by the officials
here, that Mondays proceedings before
the peace commission at Paris marked
the high tide of Spanish opposition and
that from now on the Spanish commits
sioners will retire gradually from their
extreme position. It is recognized that
their attack upon the American position
was marked by the greatest cleverness
and adroitness. The opinion prevails
that the animating purpose Of the Span
iards is to work upon the sympathies Of
other European nations while appealing
to the interests not only Of the holders
Of Cuban bonds but also to the holders
Of purely Spanish securities which would
be affected by sympathy. The Spanish
argument, directed to showing that the
United states Must Assume Sovereignty
else the island will be left without legal
status, is interpreted as being distinct
bid for the Intervention of the foreign
bondholders. The latter, according to
the Spanish hope, might be expected to
call upon their own governments to aid
the Spanish cause by protesting to the
United States against the destruction Of
the large values represented by the Gu
ban bonds owned by their own citizens.
Considerations based upon equities like
those have, at times, had great weight
with international tribunals, but back
of it all is apparent, lin the eyes Of Of
6cials here, a pu1p pose to influence, notso
I much the American peace commission
ers as the government at Washington
directly.
No Question as to municipal Bonds.
There never has been any question
here as to the status Of municipal and
J. other local obligations based upon Cuban
assets. AS the proceeds of bonds issued
by the municipalities have presumably
gone to benefit the localities, it has
never been contended here for an instant
that these obligations should be repu-
dated. Whatever may be the outcome
of the negotiations at Paris relative to
the general debt Of Cuba, the bonds Of
the municipalities and such securities
will retain their validity.
The proposition alleged to have made
Monday by the Spanish commissioners
to surrender to the United States the
entire Philippine group rather than that
Spain should be held responsible for the
Cuban debt did not take the officials
here by surprise.
While it is realized in official circles
that the negotiations in Paris have
reached what robably will be the most
critical point to be passed over until the
commission is face to face with the
question as to what disposition shall be
made Of the Philippine islands, there is
an abiding confidence that the Spanish
commissioners will not oblige the Amer
leans to resort to extreme measures and
that the negotiations will proceed with
greater expedition from this point.

4 il
MARTTNsBURe, March g.. Judge |
Faulkner held a special term of the
Berkeley circuit court yesterday and en-
tered number of DEGREES and law orders.
D. @. Westenhayer, sitting as special
Judge, decided the case of the Bank of
the Valley to the use of Hamilton FAINT,
against William Lucas and others. A
case of long standing, involving interests
amounting to four or Eve thousand dol.
lars, which was removed here from JEFF
ferson county. The Bank of the Valley,
one of the old State banks of Virginia,
in April, 1869, obtained a Judgment in
Jefferson county against William Lucas,
Robert Lucas, John D. Loman aud Adam
CockrelI, and in December, 1872, scire
facias 10 revive the judgment was issued
and served on ali four Of the defendants.
From that time the case has been bitter
ly contested, the defendants contendiug
that the original Judgment. if valid, was
judgment only against two of the four,
and, therefore, the scire facias to revive
it should not be sustained. One by one
all the defendants died, but no suggestion
of such fact had ever been made on the
record. The attorneys conducted the
proceedings without notice being taken
of the death of their clients. At the
October term, 1897, a suggestion verified
by affidavit was made by the executor of
William Lucas that the defendants had
all died aud moved the court to arate the
action. The case on the motion and sug,
gestion was submitted to d c. Weston
haver as special judge He held that
where there are two or more joint de
PENDANTS and one dies the action should
abate as to time and could not be revived
against his personal representative, but
if right of action survives against his
estate the plaintiff should resort to the
original process to charge his estate. The
action was ordered abated to all except
the last survivor, Adam Cockrell, as to
whose estate leave was given to revive.
