Our Treatment of Spanish Captivcs.
Never before in history was there a
case where a defeated and captive en-
envy received such generous treatment
as we gave the Spaniards. Equally
astonishing are the cures brought about
by Hostetters Stomach Bitters. Never
has there been so successful a medi-
cine for stomach and liver disorders like
dyspepsia, indigestion, bliousness and
consultation.

THE PARIS CRISIS.
After q Stormy Session of the
the Ministers Leave the Cham
Der and Later Resign.

Paris, Oct. 26.-After the chamber
Of deputies had resumed business at
five o'clock yesterday, NJ. Brisson an
nounced that the irregular resigna-
ton" of Gen. Chanoine had been ac-
cepted, and that his successor ad in
term would be appointed. The pre-
mier then proposed that the chamber
adjourn until Thursday next, and he
concluded his remarks with reaffirm-
ing the supremacy of the civil power.
After attempts upon the part of
various deputies to discuss the alleged
military plots, the insults to the army,
etc, their remarks being punctuated
with Interruptions and cheers, NJ. Ri
bot, on behalf of his friends, including
NJ. Melline, approved NJ. Brisson's state
ment, and added:
I'VE have every confidence in the
army and do not wish to see it at
tackled. All republicans are united on
this subject"
NJ. Demahy then proposed a resolu-
ton calling upon the government to
enc the campaign of insult against the
army, but NJ. Brisson refused to &C.
ccpt it.
NJ. Cavaignac, the former minister
Of war, then rushed to the tribune
and demanded an immediate discus
sion of the resolution. He was greeted
with hostile shouts, Neutrality-suspicious."
Forgery Razor" which caused a
great uproar. The shouting of the
word Razor" was an ~allusion to the
suicide of the late Col. Henry, who is
said to have cut his throat in his
prison cell at the fortress of Mont
Nalerien after confessing to having
forged one of the Dreyfus documents.
though it has since been claimed the
razor with which the deed was COM
mitted was not found in the cell OF the
deceased.
NJ. Brisson then accepted the order
of the day, proposed by NJ. Ribot, af-
firming the supremacy of the civil
over the military power. Several of
the deputies attempted to speak, but
their voices were drowned in the up
oar which filled the chamber. The
order of the day WIS adopted by a
vote of 259 ayes to ? noes
An amendment proposed by NJ. Ber-
ger, %censuring the government for
not causing the honor of the army to
be respected" was lost by PA to POI
votes. i
NJ. Demahy then proposed a resolu-
tion calling upon the government TO
lend the campaign of insult against
the army"
The president refused to accept the
motion, however, and a vote was
taken on it amid such confusion that
scrutiny was demanded. Later this
showed that the government was de-
feated by a vote of 296 to 243.
After the result of the scrutiny had
been announced NJ. Berteau moved q
vote of confidence in NJ. Brisson, which
rejected by ESQ votes to Pa.
When this vote was announced the
ministers left the chamber.

RACE WAR
Negroes and Whites Throughout North
Carolina Armed In Anticipation
of n Conflict.

Wilmington, n. C., Oct. 25.-Practi,
cGlly every man, white and black, in
this. whole state is armed, and only
the urgent counsel of the most con-
s%orvative white men has prevented &
race war of appalling proportions.
The trouble has been brewing fol
two years, eve since some negroes
were elected to office. The blacks
clothed with a little authority, grew.
insolent and offensive, white people
say. Those who Aad no office followed
suit. They became overbearing and
aggressive to such an extent that
white women and girls, in the cities
and towns especially, can no more
venture from their homes alone
through fear of certain insult or posi-
bic injury.
The appointment of many negroes to
federal and state offices has tended to
increase the friction between the races.
1t is impossible to convey in words the.
intensity of the excitement found
throughout the state. Politics cuts but
little figure in the situation.

THE SITUATION IN CUBA.
The Condition of Affairs In the Island
Gone over for the Information
of MemhZrA

Washington, Oct. 26.-At the cab
met meeting yesterday the situation
in Cuba was gone over for the infor-
nation of those members who did not
see the president. 1t was explained
that the time limit for the evacuation
of the island had been extended from
December 1 to January 1, and that b
United States would assume control
of the government of the several cities.
and provinces as fast as they were
evacuated by the Spaniards, but no
faster. Havana probably will be the
last of the cities to surrender civil
control to the United States. This,
however, must be accomplished by the
1st of January.
What Relation Shall Porto Rico Bear to-
the United States.
The question of the relation Porto
Rico shall Zeal to the general govern
ment of the United States is receiving
the careful consideration of the presi-
dent and the members of the cabinet.
The question of a change in the u r
rency system of the island, the GUS
toms and internal revenue laws, suf-
frage and many other incidental but
highly important subjects, are now un-
der consideration. and they probably
will be treated upon at some length in
the presidents forthcoming message
TO congress.
Congress May be Asked to Pass Needed
General Legislation.
1t is not unlikely that congress will
be asked to pass some needed general
legislation respecting temporary gov
crnment of the island, with a recon-
mendation that a commission be APP
pointed to consider with more DELHI
Grafton than is possible in a short ses-
sion of congress-, all of the questions
involved, and make Il report at a fu-
ture time.
No DisquietIng News from Paris.
Nothing of a disquieting nature has
sion at Paris, the contention of the
Spaniards that the United States
should assume the Cuban debt or any
other Spanish obligation, beyond the
recognition as valid of the municipal
obligations of Havana and possibly
otEer Cuban cities, is received here
with perfect equanimity. Such a pro-
oedure is out of the question, as our
commissioners knew before they left
Washington.

A RATIONAL JUDGMENT.
Manuel SanGuilIy, an Earnest Cuban and
Friend OF the United States, Chosen
as a Representative.

Havana, Oct. 26.-Manuel Sanguilly,.
tue well-known author and orator, who
was Il distinguished soldier in the ten
years war, will represent the Second
Third and Fifth corps of the Cuban
army at the Cuban assembly convened
to consider the establishment of a per-
:anent Cuban government. His choice
by these troops, including the Hol-
gum, Tunas, Bayamo, Manzanillor
visions, is highly significant as indicat-
ing the sentiment of a large number of
the Cubans now under arms.
Sanguilly, who is a Cuban of the
Cubans, and an extreme radical, has
made several speeches of late that
have caused a profound sensation, in
which he has urged upon the Cubans
the imperative necessity of placing
full confidence in the United States
government, and has censured those
who have shown distrust of the Amer
icIns. He has advocated the disband-
ment of the Cuban troops and their
return to the arts of peace, dwelling
long and earnestly upon the impor-
lance to the Cubans of securing the
confidence of the United States. He
wen went SO far as to declare hat if
the Cuban revolutionary leaders
should assume a hostile attitude to-
ward the Americans. he would enter
the ranks of those opposed to such a
course. His selection at this juncture,
and in view of such sentiments. indi,

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
Young Woman Murdered.

The family of Charles Duffner, &C.
the victim of another mysterious muir
Ger, a young woman this time being
slain by some unknown. a month ago,
Charles Duffner, q wealthy German
farmer, had a desperate battle with
three masked robbers. DufIner, aided
by his wife and son, fought the mur
derous strangers and killed one of the
outlaws. While about to dispatch a
second member of the band. Charles
Duffner was shot and killed by the
third robber.
The other Miss Duffner, the daugh-
ter of the murdered farmer, was left
alone at home with a hired man by
the name of Powell. Mrs. Duffner
end her sol returned home in the af-
ternoon and found the young woman
had been murdered in the house. The
hired man said that, while he and the
girl were eating dinner, a shot was
fired by some outside of the
house, which killed the young woman
instantly. He did not see the assas-
sin. Powell was arrested at once on
suspicion, and is now in the Buffalo
Jail. One theory of the murder is that
the hired man had attempted to as
sault the girl and then killed her to
conceal the crime. Another opinion
attributes the assassination to the
same gang of outlaws that killed the
young woman's father.
