the day to cable it at night Among the
different items were two lines that read
'On board the Fern. They are cleaning

The chief Of police in his joy over the
prospect of capturing the sixty rifles,

the police and they do not know yet of

the misfortune to go through similar ex-
penences. with the difference that I was
kept one year one month six days and
two hours locked in the Cabanas Fortress
before the Spaniards found they had no
case against me. ! must say to Blanco'
credit that in that respect he is quicker
than Weyler.
1t is true that Cubans are no longer
publicly executed. with brass bands play
ing lively Spanish airs. as in the days OF
Weyler. but prisoners Of war are all ex-
ecuted on the quiet.
Incommu1icado Procedure.
''The procedure of incommunicado is
still carried on as in the palmy days Of
Weyler, and the prisoners are subjected
10 the same tortures and indignities. as
Manuel Pardo can testify As long as
every Spaniard considers ever Cuban an
enemy. and as long as every Cuban has
only grievances from every Spaniard in
official place, how can there be peace in
Cuba?
''Of autonomy it is useless to say a
word il IS great farce and means only
that the Spaniards intend always to be
masters in every way Of the Cubans''
Senor Laine added that the Havana
chief OF police keeps a list of 500 Gu.
bans whom he viii imprison very soon.

AS for the attitude of Spain in all this
plan to save the two countries from the
horrors of war, much light is TO be found
in the fact that English financiers al

punishment for the lives of the sailors
that went down with the Maine and the

country and Spain, even as much so as
| Mr.. Hanna and some of our own business
! people are. Sir Julian Pauncefote's visit
unquestionably means that they have
| sent England's ambassador on their er-
/ rand.
The solution to this complication that
| the strongest business men in both coun-
tries find most acceptable is the purchase
| of Cuba by the Cubans from Spain, and
| the guarantee of the purchase money by
America.
And when this is translated into plain
English ii means that both Mr.. Hanna
and his American friends, and their col
leagues in London. are advocates of peace
at any price, and that they are working
in concert with that end in view, and that
they believe they will succeed even at
this late date. .
Senator Hanna and President Griscom,
| of the international Navigation Company,
were together much of the day yesterday.
President Griscom arrived in the city
Wednesday night, and is at the Arlington,
although he is not registered. Early yes
terday morning he had long conference
with Mr.. Hanna

This was, in a small way, an evasion
Mr.. Hanna and the millionaire ship
owner came on this business, but the ex-
act nature of their various conversations
was protest against war. President
Gerscom pointed out to the President
that the use of his vessels would ruin
the business of his line which is i'm
mense. and Immensely profitable. He also
talked along the line of peace at any
price as it applies to the shipping inter-
ests of this country and England. He
told Mr.. Mckinley that a war would al
most ruin these interests.
1t is not in the least impossible that
the gun equipments may be put on board
the ships of the International Line. This

are thought to be the best kind of pre-
yentives. 1t is even known that some

one testified that he looked towards the
train. The trainmen supposed that when
he waved his cane, it was to signify that
he was out of danger, but the next mo-
ment he was between the rails and
caught by the pilot cf the engine. The
train was moving unusually slow at the
time, MOTTO exceed six to eight miles an
hour, and was stopped when within q
trains length from the place of the acci.
dent. When caught by the engine
Quense was thrown into the air and
landed alongside the rail on the right
side. The engine then dragged him
probably sixty feet before it could be
stopped.
His body was terribly mangled. his
feet, arms and various other bones being
crushed. His head was also badly
bruised, and 1t was wonder he live as
long as he did. DR.. Strickler,, the com.
pany's surgeon, was summoned at once
and with the aid of DR.. Fritsche and
others, the body was removed to the
hospital. There he died at quarter ol
four.
The testimony of those who witnessed
the scene hardly points TO a suicide. His
whole action, they say, was that of un-
concern. He walked right onto the
track with the same step with which he
had approached, and waving his stick
as he was so wont to do, above his head
A revolver was found in his pocket al
the time, but he had been known to car
ry this for months.
Many time has he been seen walk
ing on the street, debating to himself
and apparently unconscious of what wa:
going on around him, and it is more
than probable that it was in similar
moment of deep thought or melancholy
that he met his death. -
The train crew were in no way respon-
sible. They exercised all due precau-
ton, and the testimony of disinterested
parties shows that they made every ef-
fort to slacken the speed Of the train
and avoid an accident. The grade at
that place made it next to impossible.
After all the testimony was in the
jury retired and returned verdict of
accidental death.
The jury consisted of John Henle,
Emil Wicherski, Anton Hartmuth, John
Dengler, John Forster and Herman
Poeppel.
Mr.. Quense was born in Hanover, Ger.
