A NARROW ESCAPE.
Gen. Wood onI Maj. Brooks Came Near
Being Victims tO Engi-
neer's Carelessness.

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 24.-Gen.
Wood, the acting military commander
here, and Maj. Brooks, had a narrow
escape, Sunday evening, from a Sc
rious disaster. They had started
down the bay, on the way to Morro
castle, on board a steam launch which.
seemingly, had 100 pounds of steam
registered. But she lost 80 pounds in
the first two minutes, and a green en-
gineer was in charge of her, discov-
ering that there was little or no wa
ter in the boiler, was about to fill it
while it was almost red hot. Mai.
Brooks saw the danger, stopped the
launch, had the fire withdrawn, and
the launch was towed back to her
starting place. The engineer was dis
charged.
Maj. Starr and Maj. Brooks re-
turned, Sunday from a trip to Bara-
Goa, Sagua and other places. They
report that there is no destitution
among the Cubans at the places Wis
tied, and they add that the distribu-
tion of free rations is having a demor-
alizing effect upon the people, who DO
not want to go to work, though the
sugar estates, in common with other
Industries, are badly in need of la
borers.

Evacuation of Porto Rico Complete.
AS A NAVAL STATION.
San Juan, Porto Rico, VIII De One Ol
Our Most Important Naval Stations
In the Future.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Secretary
Long has taken the initial steps to
make San Juan, Porto Rico, the first
naval station of the United States in
West Indian waters. Congress will be
asked to appropriate money enough
to make it one of the best equipped
naval stations the United States has.
Speaking of this Secretary Long says:
"a station at San Juan will be of
the utmost importance to the govern
ment, and to the navy. San Juan is
an excellent place for a good many of
our ships in the winter time. 1t is
an invaluable possession from every
point of view
a naval officer said: Congress will
be asked to appropriate a large sum
of money for the improvement of San
Juan harbor and the coast defenses.
1t is probable that the historic forts
will be retained as far as possible.
1t is not unlikely that a navy yard
will be established"

WILL HEAR PLAIN TALK.
Spain VIII be Told that RrOcrastination
Must Cease and the M-lh
Issue Discussed.

Washington, Oct. 24.-It was expect
peace commission in Paris the Amer
lean commissioner would deliver to
their adversaries something very
clearly approaching an ultinlatum.
The president is satisfied at last that
the Spanish commissioners are pur-
posely delaying the negotiations. This
is the belief of the American commits
sioners. The time has now come to
cut off all false pleas and come direct
ly to the main issue left open by the
protocol, namely, the disposition of
Philippines. Up to this point the en-
tire time of the commissioners has
been consumed in repeated efforts on
the part of the Spanish commissioners
to force the Cuban debt question upon
the attention of the joint commission
against the firm opposition of the
American commissioners. The latter
have stated as positively as they could
that under no circumstances will they
assume sovereignty over Cuba, involy-
ing an assumption of the Cuban debt,
and the time has now come when, in
the opinion of the American commits
sioners, the Spaniards must be made
to understand that this answer is final
and conclusive. So far the American
commissioners, while preserving
firm attitude, have treated the Span
iards with the utmost courtesy and
consideration, allowing frequent post
ponements of the work of the joint
commission to accommodate the Span
iards, but now, without departing
from their courteous treatment of the
Spaniards, the American commission
ers will find it incumbent upon them
to speak very plainly as to the deter
mination of the United States govern
ment to regard this matter of the Gu
ban debt and sovereignty as passed
over and beyond recall.

THE TABLES TURNED.
Ted Sloan Attacked by the London Press
Because He Complained of I'm
fair Treatment.

London, Oct. 24.-The newspapers
which have hitherto been almost unan-
imous in their praise of Tod Sloan, the
American jockey, denounce his impu-
tstion of unfairness on the part of the
Sandown Park judges. The Sun says:
"The best thing that can be wished for
Sloan is that he will promptly carry
out his expressed intention to betake
himself, with his followers, out of the
country. He has already received more
grace than would have been extended
to other Jockeys"
Continuing, the Sun recommends the
withdrawal of his license and calls
Lord William Beresford's attention to
the fact that, in its opinion, Sloan is
unworthy to ride the prince of Wales
horse in the race for the Cambridge
shire stakes.

THE APPLE CROP FAILURE.
Tho Crop of Apples In the United States
tho Smallest Since Statistics
Have Been Compiled.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-The Orange Judd
Farmer says:
The apple crop of the United States
is smaller than it has been since re-
liable statistics have been collected.
The total supply from the 1898 crop
of the United States is 27,700,000 bar
rels, compared with something over
10000, 900 last year, and 7O,000,0OO in
the record breaking crop of 1896. The
failure is widespread, reaching from
the Pacific coast to Maine, and in none
of the states does the output of fruit
approach an average. In the great
apple states of the west, the crop is
almost an absolute failure, although
the situation in Michigan is better
than elsewhere, having about two
thirds of the bumper crop of '95. New
York has only one-fifth of full crop
The failure is attributed to the fact
that during the blooming season
there was excessive rainfall, which
washed out the pollen and prevented
proper fertilization by insects, while
a cold wave added to the injury, and
subsequent moist, humid weather was
very favorable to the development of
funEous disease. The Ontario crop is
decidedly short. The crop of Europe
is reported below the normal.

cause the government of Great Brit

The general tone of the French
press comments is reflected by the
Eclair, which remarks: San agreement
regarding Fashoda can be arrived at
provided Great Britain does not per-
sist in asking for the immediate recall
of Mai Marchand. But as to an out
let on the Nile, we have an absolute
right thereto, and will brook no re-
fusal."
These See Things In Another Light.
The Steele, after urging peace, says:
"France would hardly come off better
in war with England than did Spain
in the war with the United States.
France would be better employed in
developing her colonies than in thwart-
ing England"
The Autocrite declares that France
ought never to have gone to Fashoda.
adding: at was a stupid mistake, and
now England calls on US to get out.
Well, it is no use talking, we shall
have to get out, otherwise there will
be war, which would be madness"

Lord Salisbury Called Upon for an Ex-

London, Oct. 24-The afternoon
newspapers here discuss the report of
| the French ambassador, Baron De
Courcel on the subject of the CONVEX
sation he had with the marquis of
Salisbury, regarding the proposed
French outlet of she Nile, as being the
leading feature of the yellow book on

Gazette, and the Globe suggests that
the ambassador misunderstood the
premier, and call on the latter to make
some explanation.
