PLENARY COUNCIL.
How the Reports That One is to bs
Held Probably Originated.

Ae10 PROBABLY originated.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-It is said at
the residence of the Apostolic delegate
that the reports emanating in the West
that a plenary council of the Catholic
Church in America would be held two
years hence are doubtless the outgrowth
of the well known fact that these coun-
ellis are held about every twenty years,
and that two years hence will mark the
twenty years period from the time the
plenary council of Baltimore was held
in 1882
The question of "Americanism, .
which has excited much attention, has
been disposed Of finally by the letter
of the Pope, and it is said this is not
subject which could come before a
plenary council.
Thus far the American church auth
critics have been given no duties in
connection with the church in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines, the
affairs there being directed through
apostolic delegates reporting directly to
Rome.
Archbishop Keane has started from
Rome for this country, but he will pro-
ceed slowly, making frequent visits on
the Continent, and not reaching v ash

Of Attempt to Murder.
SANTA BARBARA July 8. = Yda
Adds Storke who was to be sentenced
in the Superior Court tomorrow for
criminal libel, must now answer Tor
the more serious charge of attempt
to murder. She is in jail and the
complaint stands against her, brought
by Attorney Grant Jackson, who was
to have been the victim of her wrath,
and whose escape was as miraculous
as it was sensational.
Mrs Storke stealthily entered his
bedroom some time during Saturday
night, cutting the screen from the WIN
dow of an adjoining room. She had
two pistols both 3S-caliber, one bull
dog, the latter loaded and the other
unloaded, but carried in bag with
a quantity of cartridges. She also had
a four-once bottle of chloroform and
bottle Of prussic acid.
Jackson, in telling the story. states
that he was sleeping when she entered
the room, and was first aware of her
presence when he felt something tick
ling his face He turned over. and
saw in the faint light dark figure
on the floor at his bedside, and he de-
tected the fumes of chloroform. he
asked:
who's there?" and a voice he rec
ognized as Mrs. Storke's replied:
"It is me; have you got gun?"
jackson replied, "Yes," and she
added:
Hand it to me. I have the drop
on you"
jackson gave her the gun, and by
this time, being sufficiently awakened
to realize his situation, he began to
plan for escape. AS the daylight in
creased he saw the woman sitting on
the floor with a loaded pistol pointed
at him. She told him not to stir, as
she would shoot him if he did. but
later she ordered him to go and take
the mutilated screen from the window,
as she feared some one might think
a burglary had been committed and
come in to Investigate. She followed
him with the pistol. but as he returned
he seized a favorable instant to over
throw her, and after a desperate struR-
gle bound her hands. Even after this
she reached one of the revolvers and
discharged it. but Jackson was quick
enough to catch her hands, and the
bullet went through the floor
Mrs Storke claims that 1t was not an
unusual thing for her to visit Jackson
room at all hours of the night, and
that she had frequently gone in by
this window She wanted to see him
to plead with him to give up evidence
that would clear her of the charge OF
libel, and thought that the quiet night
time, when there Vas no danger of
being disturbed, would be the most
opportune She had waited until ne
awoke, and was greatly surprised when
he .sprang upon her. The chlorofQrrn
she carried for heart trouble, and she
always had pistol with her when out

AFFAIRS IN CUBA.
Gen. Ludlow Gives a Brilliant Re.
ception and Ball at Havana.

HAVANA, July 9-The reception and
ball given last evening by General
Ludlow, military commander, outshone
every other social function in Havana
in recent years. Innumerable, red.
white and blue electric lights, thou
sands of roses, hundreds of flags. and
no end of sabers, bayonets and rifles
artistically grouped made the scene
within the palace memorable.
More than thousand guests attend
ed Music was furnished by two mill
tary bands. All the foreign ConsuIs
were in evidence, most of them wear
ing glittering orders, and many Of
the women wore handsome jewels.
General Ludlow gave the function in
honor of Independence Day, and rep
resentative Cubans and Spaniards Of
Havana were present
American officials here are surprised
at the large number of Cubans now
applying in the province of Santiago
for a share of the American gratuity.
The Cuban officers had assured them
that there was not a hundred men in
the province who would accept money
from the United States, basing the
assertion on kilograms which purport-
ed to come from Santiago. Even when
it became known that these dispatches
were inspired by Cuban malcontents
here, and concocted in the Inglaterra
Cafe, it was still felt that these op-
ponents of a rational solution of the
Cuban army question might be able to
prevent large number from applying
to the American Paymasters. Those
who knew the facts OF the case be-
lieved that the Santiago insurgents
were much underestimated on the pay
rolls. especially as the Cuban Generals
had always claimed that more than
60 per cent. Of the army was in Santi-
ago Province. It turns out that the
jealousy that existed in war times
between the Eastern and Western
troops still exists, and that those In
Santiago province are more likely to
reject than accept advice from Ha-
yana.

Transvaal Reform Proposals.
CAPE TOWN, July 9.-W. P. Schei-
ner, Prime Minister of the Colony of
the Cape of Good Hope, says the Cape
Government regards the Transvaal re-
form proposals as adequate and call
culated to insure a peaceful settlement
The Colonial Premier. however. repre-
sents the Afrikander element.
Sir John Gordon Sprigg, former Prime
Minister and Colonial Secretary, who is
an ardent imperialist, considers them
totally inadequate to meet the just
claims of the Uitlanders, and altogether
less than Sir Alfred Milner, Governor
of the Colony and British Commissions
er for South Africa, demanded of Pres.
ident Kruger at the Bloemfonteine con-
ference.
LONDON, July 9-According to the
johannesburg correspondent of the
Daily Mail" the Uitlanders regard the
Transvaal Government proposals as abb
surdly insufficient.
UITLANDERS DISAPPOINTED.
LONDON, July 10-The special dis
patches to the morning papers from
Cape Town and johannesburg concur
the Boer proposals, and declare that
the Uftlanders are profoundly disap-
pointed. In johannesburg it is be-
lieved that President Kreuger is only
dallying to gain time until the weather
| makes campaigning difficult for the
Britishers.
w. P. Scheiner, the Cape Premier,
has addressed letter to an Afrikander
paper published in Cape Town, de-
ciaring that there is no ground what
ever for the active interference of the
Imperial Government in the Transvaal,
as the Beers proposals are satisfac-
tory. This has aroused great indig-
nation in Cape Town, where it is re-
garded as ill-timed and calculated to
kencourage President Kreuger, and to
embarrass Sir Alfred Miner.

LONDON, July 9.-The report of the
