Former Spanish MtBister's Mysterious
Movements in Canada.


When Senior Polo Y Bernabe, the
Spanish minister at Washing ION, took
his leave after the severance IF diplo-
matte relations between this country
and Spain, he proceeded just across the
border into Canada, where he seems to
have begun operations as a spy.
A special from Montreal to the New
York World says:
although Senior Polo y Bernabe, the
former minister from Spain at Washing
ton, states thai his only object of stay
ing here is to reorganize the consu' ar
service, it is evident from matters that
have transpired that the United States
has sufficient reason to view his pres
ence here with apprehension.
at IS very difficult to penetrate the
action of Senior Polo and his suite thor
oughly, but it is very clear to all here
that he is directing an elab lrate spy sys-
tenn. Some United States treasury Of
ticials have been here and have shad-
owed the party closely for DAYS and,
from what can be CLEANED of their
carefully yelled remarks, the work of
the Spaniards is of very dangerous
kind.
''It is known that they have kept up
constant communication with b TIL GOV.
Macias, of Porto Rico, and Gen. BlancO,
of Havana, but this alone would not ac-
count for the immense sums of money
that they have spent with the telegraph
com panies while here. For the space of
three days their bill for the Western
Union aUd Postal Telegraph amounted
% nearly 81 900.
after much investigation it was found
that large amount of this expenditure
was caused by cablegrams to the United
States. When they found out that they
we've unable to get messages to or from
the United States direct they cabled to
and from there by way of London.
"They have also been in communica.
ton constantly with strangers, who at
terward have been seen going into the
states, and the secret service agents
seem to have positive proof that at least
one woman in this city has been ap-
preached by them for spy purposes "

No Cause for Alarm.

From the Thomasvile Enterprise.
Serious charges are BEL circulated
against Alien Gambler, Tbs, ! say that he
cusses and cbews tobacco, that he REFER
ed to the fact that the common people"
of Georgia were for him, and that just
after the war, when he was, with many
other ex-confederate soldiers, struggling
to get on his feet again, he owed SO 70
in taxes, for which an execution was
issued. These are grave charges. The
common people," the 'wool hat boys"
will be at the ballot box ON the 9th of
June, and they will vote for honest Allen
Gambler.

The price of wheat has advanced
chiefly because of a shortage of crops
in other countries, aided by the
"plunglng" of young Chicago specu-

to do with it, and it in no way iustifes
the enormous advance made by the ba-
