Spaninrds Are Said to Have Made An
other Proposition.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-The Paris correspon-.
dent of the Times says: AT to-days (Wed-.
nesday's) sitting the Spanish peace commits.
sioners presented a new counter memo
randum declaring their readiness, provi-
sionally, to accept an article of prelmin-
ary treaty stipulating that Spain shall re-
liquish all rights to sovereignty in Cuba
without formulating any other claim and
to leave in suspense all remaining ques-
tions, especially the Philippines. The Amer
leans asked until tomorrow (Thursday) to
reply to this new memorandum. This is re-
garded as a favorable sign, being a slight
relaxation Of the rigidity the Americans
have hitherto shown They are, perhaps,
aware that the Cubans and even the Span
ish bondholders are becoming alarmed at
the strange turn of the financial side of the
discussion in which Spain, the United States
and Cuba with extraordinary unanmity
and carelessness all repudiate the Cuban
debt. Nobody will be able to force Spain
to accept the debt, for, apart from bank
ruptcy, she could only meet the liabilities
at the expense of her foreign bondholders,
who, by a strange anomaly, would thus
have to pay for the independence Of Gu
ba. 1t is not likely that the United States,
any other power. can or will force Spain
to ruin herself by meeting the Cuban debt,
and it will then either be total loss for
Europe or be paid by the Spanish bond
holders. If, in these circumstances, an
agreement cannot be effected America will
indeed be wise to refer the question to the
arbitration of impartial men. entirely dis
interested in this delicate matter"

to-day on board the Messageres steamer
from that port. During the voyage the two
officers dined together and cordially con-
versed on the customs of the tribes and
peoples each had met. The British consul
here met General Kitchener on landing and
Captain Baratier received affectionate
greeting from his mother and brother GEN
eral Kitchener and Captain Baratier left
for Paris on the same train.
a depntation from the Geographical So
ciety of Marseilles, after congratulating
Captain Baratier, proceeded TO General
Kitchener's salon car. There the spekes-
man of the French party expressed admira-
ton of the generals remarkable campaign
ana work in behalf of civilization, and
thanked him for the courtesy he had ex-
tended to Major Marchand and his col
leagues. The general thanked his visitors
warmly and eulogized Major Marchand,
whose expedition, he said, had excited the
admiration of the whole world. The train
then departed amid shouts of "Vive Bara-

TESLA'S LATEST DREAM
SOMETHING WONDERFUL IN ELEC-
TRIO POWER TRANSMISSION.
The Inventor Proposes to Utilize the
Electricity Thousands of Miles.

NEW YORK, Oct 26-Nikola Tesla, the
electrician. describes in to-day's issue of the
Electrical Review, a possibility in electric
power transmission. His inventions for
transmitting electricity at high pressure
over long distances have been successfully
applied at many natural sources of power.
Probably the most important Of these plants
in the United States is at Niagara Falls,
costing over $6,OOO0OO to install, which sup
plies electricity to many large factories ami
supplies electric power for running the troll
ley lines of the city of Buffalo, twenty-six
miles distant. The announcement is now
made that by employing apparatus which
he had invented, capable of generating
electrical pressures vastly in excess of any
heretofore used, located at natural sources
of power, the current can be conducted to
a terminal maintained at an elevation where
the rarefed atmosphere is capable of con-
Quoting freely the particular current pro-
duced; then, at a distant point where the
energy is to be used commercially to main
tain second terminal at about the same
elevation to attract and receive the current
ard to convey it to the earth through spe-
cial means for transforming and utilizing
1t. With the article an Illustration is pre-
sented showing streams of electricity issu-
Ing from a single terminal, giving an esti-
mated electrical pressure of two and half
million volts.
The Electrical Review comments on Mr.
Tesla's novel and startling ideas as follows:
Tesla now proposes to transmit without
the use of any wires, through the natural
media-the earth and the air-great amounts
of power to distances of thousands of miles
This will appear a dream-a tale from the
Arabian Nights. But the extraordinary
discoveries Tesla has made during num-
ber of years of incessant labor, which are
authoritatively described in our present
issue, make it evident that his work in this
field has passed stage of laboratory ex-
pertinent and is ready for practical test
on an industrial scale. The success of his
efforts means that power from such sources
as Niagara will become available in any
part Of the world, regardless of distance"

He consulted with Major Petit to ascertain
whether the latter requires naval assistance.
Lieutenant Blue says the Infanta Maria

RUMORED ASSASSINATION.
President Faure Reported to
Have Been Slain. :
LONDON, OCT. GA rumor is current
here this morning that President
Faure, of France, has been assns-
II N tod

Francois Felix Faure, President of the
French republic, may be said to have been
cne of the four greatest men in France,
because he rose from the position of tam
ner to that of the President of the republic.
Like many American business men, he be-
gan life as a poor boy and grew rich and
got into politics. When the war broke out
between France and Germany Faure en-
listed as volunteer and made a good rec
ord. In the election of August, 1851, he pre-
sented himself as a candidate for the
Chamber of Deputies in the Third district
Of Havre, his birthplace, a Republican,
and defeated his opponent. M. lie Valiant
de Douet. When the great Gambetta
formed his Cabinet in November Of the
same year he made Faure his under-secre-
tary of state. In 1882 Faure went out of
office with the other members of the Min
istry, but Jules Ferry called him a year
later to his Cabinet. For two years the
tanner of Havre sat in the councils of
France, and then retired with his col
leagues in 1895. Felix Faure was elected
President of the French republic in 1885,
He was elected on the retirement of CAST
mir-Perrier by the Chamber. On the first
ballot NJ. Brisson was elected by an INSULT
cient majority, and then Waldeck-Rous-
seau, third candidate, retired in favor of
the present President.

Peace Commissioners About to Take
Up the Main Question.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-There are indi-
cations that the peace commissioners In
Paris are approaching the end of con-
sderation of the subject of Cuba and Porto
Rico, and officials here would not be sur
prised if to-days session of the commits
sion concluded those subjects, leaving the
commission free to take up the most i'm
rortant matter in the protocol. namely the
disposition of the Philippines. The Span
ish case has been presented with an
ability and adroitness that commands the
admiration of diplomats without regard to
nationality, and even our own officials have
been compelled to yield tribute of respect
to the arguments produced, but they have
been of no avail in effecting any substan-
tial change in the first attitude of the
American commissioners. who are holding
firmly to the line of procedure originally
outlined 1t is expected here that hence
forth, after the courteous intimation that
has been conveyed to the Spanish COM
missoners that it is time to regard the Gu
ban and Porto Rican matters as settled,
better progress will be made towards the
final conclusion of treaty Of peace
Some apprehension has been manifested
in certain quarters as to the possible ad-
verse effect upon the peace commission Of
an upheaval In France. 1t has been sug-
gested that the Spanish cause is in such
shape that the Spanish government has
nothing TO lose and everything to gain by
any change that can be brought about
However, il may be stated that in the opin-
ion of the State Department officials there
is little danger of the situation in Paris
becoming so acute as to justify an abandon
ment of the work of the commission on the
ground that the commissioners themselves
