WASHINGTON NOT WORRIED.
Hasn't Been Notified of Break in
Peace Negotiations.

Washington. d. c.. Nov. $50 far as
the state department knows there has
been no break In the peace negotiations
in Paris and if any difficulty has arisen
officials say 1t would certainly have been
reported promptly to the department. 1t
is assumed, therefore. that there must
be some purely internal reason for the
postponement-perhap the convenience of
the commissioners.
The adviccs that have come to hand so
far are said to be rather encouraging
than the reverse and there is Il DISPOSE
ton here to agree to the statement rath
er curiously made by the Spanish cab
met yesterday, that there will be three
or four more meetings of the joint com
mission. This is taken as an indication
that the SpanlardS themselves are not
looking for a break in the negotiations.
but that rather they expect Il peaceful
conclusion in Il short time.
The foreign bondhoders have at last
moved formally to protect their interests
in Cuba and Porto Rico. The initial
steps have been taken through the agency
OF the French embassy. which in this
case acts no longer as the representative
of the Spanish government. but for
French subjects.
Through the embassy a most formidable
statement has been presented to the state
department. being an account of the yari-
Gus Spanish bonds owned by French citi-
zens chargeable against the territories
either seized or set free by the act of
the United States government. The sum
total of these bonds runs up far into
the millions just what it is expected
shall be done with them is not made
clear.
The United States government of
course. will not pay them. but it may be
that the French government looks to it to
cause the government of Cuba to assume
liability for redemption of the bonds
charged against that island when that gov
ernment shall have been duly installed by
the act of the United States government
1t is probable that other holders OF like
bonds. German and British. will take sim
liar steps to have their claims brought
through their diplomatic representatives TO
the attention of the United Safes govern
ment, and it may even be that the holders
of such bonds in Spain. though Spanish
citizens, will take like course. which
would present a novel claim upon the gen
erosity of the United States government.

Manitowoc, Wis, Nov. Tt Special. !
Ernest Messmer was seen In the county
jail this morning by Wisconsin re
porter, and denied all knowledge of the
murder with which he is charged. He
said that he was not at the BahlS house

He said it was not true that Rahls of

but where that money had been hidden he
could not tell Messmer had only Il littl
change on his person.
Messmer has spent few days III jail Oh

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. S.-The Ger
man oil-tank steamer Standard, which has
arrived here, brings Andrew Anderson, a
sailor who was rescued at sea on October
10 from the Norwegian bark Sigrid. The
rescue by q boats crew from the Stand

was accomplished after one boat had been
dashed to pieces against the side of the
steamer and a number of daring attempts
had been made TO reach the wrecked bark.
Finally Anderson was thrown a rope
which he fastened about him and then
jumped into the sea. He was dragged
into the boat in an unconscious condition.
Anderson says the remainder of the crew
had been taken off the bark by an un-
known vessel. He had evidently been for
gotten, for the crew failed to come back
