SPAIN is ASLEEP.
Has Not Yet Realized the Complete
ness of Her Defeat.

According to reports from Paris, the
American and Spanish peace commission
ers are dangerously far apart on the ques-
tions at issue. Some French diplomats
who have conversed with both the Spanish
and American members even assert that
unless one side or the other backs down
on material points the war is evidently not
over. The Americans may yet have to
sustain their demands with a naval dem
onstra ton.
The position taken by Spain Is believed
to account for a desire to keep Blanco in
Cuba as long as possible. With his large
army he could seriously embarrass the
United States should negotiations be de-
clared off. French influence, however,
which is very potent in Madrid, is that
Spaniards shall accept the inevitable and
be reasonable.
Frenchmen are indignant at their Span
sh friends for having learned so little
from their defeat. 1t has been repeatedly
suggested to the Spanish commissioners
during the last few days that frank con-
fession of helplessness and an appeal to
the magnanimity of the victors would Sc
cure for Spain the most liberal possible
terms. But the Spanish leaders rejected
the suggestions as absurd.
The Spanish demands are stated to be
substantially as follows: Nothing beyond
port and coaling station in the Philip
pines to be ceded to the United States.

for Spanish textiles. The power whose
sovereignty prevails at Manila to bear the
entire Philippine debt and part of the ISL

may be sold to any other power. The en-

J. NJ. Edmondson, prominent attorney
of San Antonio, Texas, formerly of Dal-
las, has sued the Pullman Palace Car
Company in the United States Circuit
Court at Ell Paso, Texas. for $4,000 al

for the suit are somewhat novel. He
claimed that while journeying in Pull
man car from San Antonio to Denver he
was drenched with rain water through
hole in the roof while asleep in his berth.
From the effects of the wetting. he says,
he contracted severe cold, which result
ed in consumption.

NEGROES DRIVEN OUT,
White Miners at Washington, Ind, I,
Drive Out Blacks.

Drive Out Blacks.
Dispatches from Washington, Ind, state
that 150 miners from Pana arrived there
and routed the negro miners, who were
compelled to leave the city at the point of
revolvers. One negro who refused to go
was fired upon, and ii Is said was killed
Masks were worn by the miners, and the
police of Washington were unable to ar
rest any of them, although a fire alarm
vas sent in and a number of citizens were
sworn in as deputy sheriffs.
The strikers visited every house in the
city occupied by the negroes, who were
brought from Kentucky a year ago, and
the blacks were lined up, and then COM
menced a march west on the Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern tracks. Upon
reaching White River, Winchesters were
pointed at the negroes and they were Civ
en- orders never to return 10 Washington;
that if they did they would meet with
more severe treatment the next time. A
crowd of armed strikers visited the Cabel
Company mines with the intention of cap
turing the negroes who dwell in a shack
near the mines, but the negroes had evil
IDENTIFY been notified of their coming and
made their escape. The strikers fired sew
eral shots into the air. and this led to the
report that battle was in progress.
A consignment of 200 guns and 100 re-
volvers has been received by the miners
organization and hidden away. The pro-
vost guard is still on duty patrolling the
streets. Reports that $50 more Ala
oama negroes were on their way there
caused more bad feeling among the min
ers, and many threats were made.

RESIDENCE OF CHIEF BOG-AHMA GIlsTIG AT BEAR LAKE.
FEAR AN UPRISING.
Minnesota Farmers Greatly Dis
turbed by Hostile Actioa of Indians.

tui oCu oy iOStic ACttOH VI
Excitement prevails along the line of
the Northern Pacific from st. Paul to
Brainerd. The people, although quite out
side the region of danger, appear to think
q general Indian uprising is at hand and
to feel that in any such event they ought
to be at the front. Farmers In blue over
alls, hickory shirts and slouch hats
troop to the trains and ask questions of
the conductor and the passengers as to
how go the fortunes of war at Leech lake.
As rule none of the questions is answer
ed at all satisfactory to them, but still
the country people come and stand about
the platforms, patiently waiting for news.
At st. Paul. the Fourteenth Minnesota
volunteer infantry is holding itself in
readiness TO go to Leech lake. The citi-
zens of st. Paul are much agitated over
the situation and wired the authorities at
Washington to send at least 1000 soldiers
to Bear Island in order that further
slaughter of brave men may be averted.
If there is nervousness among the peo-
pie between Brainerd and st. Paul it is
as nothing compared with the state of
mind Of those further on in the direction
Of the seat Of trouble. These farmers and
villagers feel they have a very personal
and immediate interest in developments,
and this interest leads them to stay awake
Of nights within arms length of their
rifles.
Reports from the region of Cass lake
tell Of increasing alarm there. Whether
it be justified or not men are coming in
from their farms, bringing their wives
and children and such effects as they can
carry, and with their dogs trailing at their
heels. They wish to ally themselves with
their white brothers Of the villages for de-
fense against the bellgerent Chippewas,

JEALOUS WOMAN MURDERS,
Mrs. Mckin1ey's Brother Is Shot to
Death at Canton, Ohio,

Death at SantOny OnIO.
Canton, Ohio, is in a state of great ex-
citement over the murder of George d.
Saxton, the brother of Mrs. Mckinley, the
Presidents wife. Mrs. Anna c.. George
was arrested on suspicion of being the
murderess Saxton was shot down short
ly after dark by woman in front Of the
house of Mrs. Eva 3. Althouse, a friend
of Saxton, and widow. who not long ago
instituted peace proceedings against Mrs.
George, alleging that she had threatened
her with violence and death. Saxton's S
lifeless body was found prostrate on the
ground, with three bullet wounds in it.
Neighbors' descriptions of the woman
who shot Saxton tailed with that of Mrs.
George. She is tall, graceful woman,
more than ordinarily good looking, and
not yet middle aged.
SaXton was one of the successful busi-
ness men OF Canton, and was possessed of
considerable property. He was so years
old. The murder is supposed TO be the
outcome of trouble of long standing be
tween Saxton and the George family,
growing out Of the formers relations with
Mrs. George.
SaXton lived in the upper stories of his
business block, and when Mrs. George
came to Canton six years ago from Co.
lumbana County, leaving her husband be
hind, she opened a dressmaking establish
ment in the Saxton block. Some months
ago Sample G. George, the husband of the
woman, sued Saxton for 100000, alleging
the alienation Of his wife's affections.
The case was settled by Saxton paying
the husband $1,S25. In a number Of 9th
er cases Mrs. George was plaintiff against
Saxton, and she several times created
scenes in the Saxton block, in which Off
GERS were obliged to interfere. Last fall
the Federal grand jury indicted her,
charging improper use of the mails in
sending threatening letters to Saxton.

full force.
There was groaning from the timbers,
the ground trembled as the thousands of

platform on which stood the little woman

which swept over the vast throng like

gracefully foated out into the stream

out for the Illinois as the officious little

It will receive the finishing touches.
The Illinois, with the Kearsarge and
Kentucky, now nearing completion at
Newport News; the Alabama, being con-
structed at Philadelphia, and the Wiscon-
| sin, under construction at San Francisco,
are to constitute the nucleus of the new
navy" which is TO stand comparison with
the best in size and fighting qualities. She
Is trihe less than 373 feet over all, and
her width is somewhat greater in proper
ton TO her length than that of the other
battleships. Ten thousand-horse power lie
to be developed by the engines which will
be used to propel the big ship.
Considering the size of the vessel, rapid
progress has been made in its construc-
ton. 1t is built under an act of Congress
passed June 10, 1896, providing $685. 900
for the hull and machinery. The contract
for the building was signed Sept. 20, 1897,
and three years were allowed to complete
the vessel. 1t is calculated that the Ell
tire cost will exceed S3.0OO,000. The crew
will comprise 500 officers and men, in
Guiding about one hundred marines.

SOUTH ATLANTIC CYCLONE
Repetition of the Great Hurricane
and Tidal Wave of 1893

and Tidal Wave of 1893.
Reports of the damage caused by the
! hurricane and floods which swept the At
lantic coast Sunday say the property dam
age will reach into the millions, while
the loss Of life cannot be estimated, al
though it is known to be great. 1t was
the worst flood since the sea islands were
swept over, covering an area of seventy
miles. 1t is now estimated that 1000
houses and stores have been swept away.
1t Is feared that the city of Darien has
been swept out of existence. Daren was
a city of about 1000 inhabitants, being
situated on one of the smaller islands. The
land is low and marshy, being utilized e1-
clusively for rice growing. 1t is the stop
ping place for all boats running between
Savannah and Brunswick, but has no tel
egraphic communication. 1t was in the
direct line of the flood, and is thought to
be completely inundated.
Reports brought to Macon, Ca, by the
Southern Pacific train state that the dam
age done by the food is enormous, and
that hundreds of lives were lost, being
swept into the ocean, beyond any chance
Of even being saved. Whole families per-
ished, their homes being entirely submerg-
ed in water. and the inhabitants being un-
accounted for.
In Jacksonville. Fla, the rainfall dur
ing twenty-four hours was 3.51 inches,
and was sufficient to swell the st. Johns
river to such an extent that many houses
within seventy-ive feet from shore were
flooded. The camps presented a deplora-
BILE picture. Tents were fiat on the ground,
while every man within camp radius was
wet through and through. The Third di-
vision hopsital was blown down and the
sick were drenched.
The loss caused by the food at Fernan-
dina, Fla, is estimated at $500,00O. As
yet only three people are reported dead,
but further search will undoubtedly
swell the list. Almost every dock on the
water front has been washed away, with
oil that was piled on them.
Advices from different parts in South
Carolina shows that the rice crops have
been injured from 35 to so per cent by the
floods. Breaks in the banks occurred on
the Pou-Pou, Ashpoo and Combahee riv-
ers, and these sections have suffered Sc
yerely.
