tration had received advices from Gen.

Americans in Cuba would be In grave
peril II the message preceded their dc.
parturs. The second reason, and Per.
haps equally potent with the other,
slowly drifted into public oomprehen.
sion late in the day. Extreme reticence
WAS maintained On the subject by the
few in Warrington who knew the
facts, and even cabinet officials were
unadvised on the subject. This impor.
tant news was that the Spanish govern.
mont. after what plainly had been most
exciting times in inner Spanish circles
at Madrid, had
Decided to Reopen the Case,
closed 90 far 40 this government was
concerned, by the refusal of Spain ia
make satisfactory response to the rep.
resentations made by the United States
last week, and in order to avert i'm.
pending war had decided to make con.
cessions heretofore refused. What will
be tho final outcome it is too early to
say, but the aspect Of affairs certainly
'is considerably more pacific and suffi.
cient to renew the hope Of the presi.
dent in . solution of the Cuban ques.
tion satisfactory to the American peo'
pie and achieved without bloodshed.
The details remain to be worked out,
but It is expected that between now
and Monday clearer light will be
thrown on the future by action at Mad,
rid, Of which one important feature i.
the declaration Of an armistice by. the
queen regent Of Spain. This armistice
it is expected, will lead to ultimate
independence of Cuba from Spanish
rule. but by what intermediate steps
perhaps even the governing powers d.
not at this time know. Much, it i!
supposed, will depend upon the Cubar
insurgents and the peoples of the two
countries, the United States and Spain

DANGEROUS PRACTICE FOR BOYS

"Oh. God, can't something be done to
stop that?s exclaimed an old man, dressed
as a laborer who stood at the Grove
street crossing of the Erie Railroad, last
evening. He pointed towards train of
empty freight cars that had evidently
deposited a consignment Of ice, going
slowly westward. Men on the cars We're
throwing pieces of ice to a gang of small
boys who were clamoring about the NOV
ing train.
No less than thirty small boys were
about the sides of this train of moving
freight cars. fighting for foothold or
handhold positions. They pushed and
jostled each other and It was simply
miraculous that some did not fall between
the heavy iron wheels to be mangled or
crushed fn death.
