EUGENE SERIOUSLY ILL
EX-EMPREss OF FRANCE AND WID-
OW OF LOUIS NAPOLEON.
Career of a Woman Who Was Once
Her Beauty and Dignity.
PARIS, Aug. 7--Ex-E Empress Eugene is
reported seriously i'll.

PARIS, Aug. 7.-Ex-Empress Eugene is
reported seriously i'll.
Eugene, ex-Empress of the French, and
widow of Louis Napoleon, is the daughter
of Dona Maria Kirkpatrick, of Closeburn
Dumfrieshire, Countess Dowager De Mont
ijos, whose father was English consul at
Malaga at the period of her marriage with
the Count De Montijos, an officer in the
Spanish army. On the death of the Count
De Montijos his widow was left with a for
tune adequate to the maintenance OF the
position of herself and two daughters, one
of whom married the Duke of Alba and
Berwick. For Eugene, the Countess Teba,
a higher destiny was reserved. In 1851. ac-
companied by her mother, she paid long
visit to Paris, where, at the various enter
tainments given at the Tuileries she was
distinguished by the dignity and elegance
of her demeanor and by great personal
beauty, of the aristocratc English rather
than the Spanish style. Her mental gifts
were not less attractive.
Shortly after the opposition of the higher
northern powers had put an end to the idea
of union between Emperor Napoleon III
and the Princess Garcia Wasa, of Sweden,
he apprised the council of ministers of his
Countess De Montijos. measure which eX-
cited some disapproval among them and
even led to their temporary withdrawal
from Office. During the short time that in
tervened between the public announcement
of the approaching event and its realization,
the Countess Teba and her mother took up
their abode in the palace of Elysee The
marriage was celebrated with much mag
nifeence on Jan. 20, 1853, at Notre Dame,
the Empress then being in her twenty
seventh year. On March 16, 1856. she be-
came the mother of an heir to the house of
Bonaparte.
Up to the outbreak of the war between
France and Germany her life was compara-
lively uneventful, being passed chiefly in
the ordinary routine of state etiquette.
When the war was declared and the EN-
peror Napoleon took the field the Empress
was appointed regent (July q, 1S70) I'm
mediatey after the revolution in Paris, on
Sept 4, she hastily left the Tuilleries and
escaped from France, landing five days
later at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, and
shortly afterward joining the Prince I'm
perial at Hastings Camden House at
Chiselhurst was subsequently selected as a
residence by the imperial exiles. In the
following year the Empress went to Spain
on a visit to her mother.
The Emperor Napoleon III died at Chisel-
hurst Jan. 9, 1873, and in 1879 the Prince I'm
perial, who had accompanied the English
army in the Zulu war. was killed. His
body was brought to England and buried
at Chiselhurst, and the following year, on
the anniversary of her sons death, the
Empress went to Zululand to visit the fatal
spot. In 1881 she removed from Camden
House to the Marlborough estate, in
Hampshire, close to the borders of the
county of Surrey

PROBLEM FOR AMERICANS.
A London View of Complications
Likely to FOLLOW Cuba's Surrender.

A London View of Complications
Likely to Follow Cuba's Surrender.
LONDON, Aug. THE Times says. edi-
torially, this morning: 1T is hard nut the
negotiators have to crack regarding Cuba.
The Americans cannot garrison the island,
and it would be rather absurd TO be COM
PEELED to ask the Spanish troops to remain
and keep order there There is such thing
as victory so complete and easy as to be
more embarrassing than a struggle upon
something like equal terms. Had the Span
ish army in Cuba been beaten in the field,
the situation would have been much less
complicated, as the administration of the
island would simply be taken over by the
victorious army. The American War Office
is the subject of severe criticism from
men of all parties, and Secretary Alger, as
our New York correspondent caustically
observed is regarded seriously as a candi-
date for retirement into private life. There
undoubtedly has been most serious mis-
management in connection with the SAINT
iago forces, and had not public opinion in
tervened upon the manifesto of the gel-
erals, it is not improbable that the War
Office would have gone on covering up it's
own mistakes until the Santiago force had
succumhed entirely to disease and privation
Now the troops are being deported from
the island as rapidly as possible, but with
them goes every trace of American power
to deal with a possession of which Spain is
to be deprived. No native government is
possible, and no American is ready or likely
to be ready for a long time to come. In the
meantime, the Spanishs army is starving
with the civil population. Events seem to
have moved so quickly as to leave the
American War Office absolutely unprepared
to deal with problems much greater than
the provisioning of the field force at SAINT
iago.'

BLOCKADE INCIDENTS.
Tug Hudson Sinks One Spanish SIOOp
and Captures Another.

KEY WEST Fla, Aug. 1.-THE tug Hud-
son, which has been with the Uncas on the
north coast blockade, sank little Spanish
sloop a few nights ago and captured an
other one off Cardenas yesterday. The cap
tured sloop was the Christina and was load
ed with fish, quantity of which was served
up for breakfast by the Hudson's men, who
had been out for a month and had little left
in the way of provisions. Three Spaniards
who were on the Christina put off in their
tender when they saw the Hudson ap-
preaching and gained key, just off shore
The converted yacht Oneida also came
from the blockade to-day. She reports that
day before yesterday body of Spanish in
fantry fired about thirty rifle shots at her
from a point on the beach, several miles
east of MORO Castle. The gunboat did not
return the fire.

Mckinley turned a deaf ear to the sugges-
ton that Porto Rico might be left to Spain
and compensation sought elsewhere. Re-
garding the Philippines, the reply was not
altogether satisfactory but it was of such
nature that there was no longer any ne
cessity for postponing a decision on the
main question.

in reality playing the part of an old par

"As to the text of Spain's reply the
oracles differ. Some say it contains no con-
tentious matter-accepts simply in principle
the four demands of President McKinley's

hand, others affirm that 1t is prefaced by
an account of the origin of the war tend
ing to prove that, as Spain was in no sense
the aggressor, she ought not to be expected
to pay a war indemnity, either in money
or territory. Though the King, according
to the Constitution, has the right to declare
war and make peace, any cession of ma
tional territory requires the sanction of the
Cortes, and any minister consenting to such
cession without this sanction is liable, ac-
cording to the penal code, to Imprisonment
for life. 1t will be necessary, therefore, to
convoke the Cortes some time before the
treaty of peace is ratified, but the govern
ment has not yet decided at what stage of
the proceedings this necessary formality
will be observed. In some well-informed
quarters doubts are expressed as to whether
the Spanish note will be dispatched to

No word from the Cusaie.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Adjutant Gen.
Corbn said tonight that, while no definite
information had been received by the
War Department concerning the steamer
Gussie. reported lost off the southwest
coast of Cuba, he was reasonably sure the
vessel was safe. She was sent to Santiago
with supplies, and from there was to go to
Porto Rico with ordnance stores for the
army of invasion Dispatches about trans
ports from both General Shafter and Gen.
Miles were received to-day, and, as no ref
erence is made to the Gussie, il is taken
for granted that she is carrying out the
programme arranged for her.

LONDON, Aug S.-The Madrid corre-

Sunday says: THE answer of the Spanish
government declares that Spain cannot dis
cuss the American proposals, but only ac-
cepts them because they are imposed on
her by force. Only a few unessential
changes in the American demands were
asked for. and 1t is not expected that Pres
ident Mckinley will refuse them.
"A commission composed of Spaniards
ard Americans will decide the question of
the Cuban debt, the dates and manner of
evacuating Cuba and Porto Rico and the
protection of Spaniards and Spanish inter-
ests in these places. The commissioners
will also decide whether Spain is to be al
lowed TO withdraw her artillery and the
remainder of her arms and ammunition
from the colonies, while the question of
the future of the Philippines will be settled
by the same body. The treaty will be
signed subject to approval by the Cortes.

MADRID, Aug. THE Cabi.

MADRID, Aug. THE Cabi-
net council held this evening ter
minated after having completely
approved the reply to the United
States, which, it is said, accepts
the American peace conditions.
The reply was telegraphed to
Senor Leon y Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador to France, tonight, so
that III. Cambon, the French am
bassador at Washington, will re-
ceive it tomorrow. The govern
ment is fully convinced that the
note will be satisfactory to the
Washington government, and that
a suspension of hostilities will be
its immediate consequence.
Senior Sagasta, the premier, con-
ferred with the Queen Regent
early this afternoon. Her Majesty
approved the general lines of the
reply, which Senor Sagasta ex-
planned to her. AS the reply was
only submitted to the Queen Re-
gent to-day, all reports of her ap-
proval yesterday of the American
demands were necessarily without
foundation.
From a well-informed source it
is learned that, while the answer
does not discuss the four bases
which the United States makes an
essential preliminary to peace, and
which Spain accepts without reser-
vation, it points out that, in order
to avoid the de6nitive negotia-
tions being in any complicated by
incidents of the war, it is expedi-
ent to agree beforehand to a sus-
pension of hostilities.
According to another reliable
source of information the Spanish
note is couched in dignified lam
guage. 1t asserts that Spain
bows to the force of circumstances.
having done nothing to provoke
the war, into which she was un-
willingly led in the defense of her
rights and territory. 1t expresses
a Willingness to appoint delegates
to meet the American commission
to discuss regime for the Philip
pines. 1t is understood that both
Senior Sagasta and Duke Almodo-
var de Rio told the Queen Regent
that they felt deeply the painful
duty circumstances imposed upon
them.
1t is reported that Duke Almo-
dovar de Rio, the minister of for
eign affairs, and Monsignor Merry
del Val, Spanish ambassador to
the Vatican, will be selected to
represent Spain in. the negotia-
tions.
The newspapers make no COM
ments on the situation, owing to
the strictness of the censorship.
