SPAIN'S NEW MINISTER.
Duke d'Arcos May Be Sent to the
United States.

New York, Feb. S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Pri-
Vate information has been received in
Washington that Duke d'ArcOs, former
ly Spanish minister to Mexico, is likely
to be designated by the Madrid govern
mert as its minister to Washington to
exchange the notifications of the treaty
of peace.
Duke d ARGOS would be thoroughly ac-
ceQtable to the administration, not
alone. because. of his personal ability
but on account of his alliance with an
American family-the Lowerys of Con-
necticut. Duchess d'Arcos. who is a
daughter of Archibald Loweu.y Of Con-
necticut, was a society belle in Wash
lngton before her marriage.
1t is recalled that Immediately after
the departure of De LONE Duke d'Arcos
and has wife were visiting Washington,
and the duke was afraid that he would
be designated as minister, post he did
not care to accept, because of the i'm
pending war. His friends here say that
he would now be willing to return. He
was secretary of the Spanish lega ton
here before being transferred to Mon
tevideo several years ago.

SHORTAGE OF SMALL ARMS.
Capacity of the Government Plants
to Be Increased.

Washington, Feb. S.-Provision for
increasing the supply of small arms to
two thousand stands day undoubtedly
Will be adopted in the army appropria-
ton bill. The matter was considered
today by the military committee of the
house, which is framing the bill, and
Major Shaler of the ordnance DEPART
ment explained the proposed increase
of facilities. At present,the armory at
Springfield, even on double apDropria-
ton and double time, cannot supply
small arms as fast as the army re-
quires. The war department, therefore,
recommended an appropriation of $780,
900 for the equipment of a small arms
plant at the Rock Island armory. The
buildings and power are already there,
and with the machinery and fixtures,
the government output of small arms
can be brought uD to 1900 stands a
day, and the demands of the service
net. Although final action was not
taken, there is little doubt the plan will
be approved. Surgeon General Stern
berg andw General Greedy also were
heard today on their respective
branches.

CONTEST OVER 4 BIG ESTATE.
Steps Taken in Kansas
City in Waddingham Case.

KANSAS CITY, No, September 9.-The
foundation has been laid for long contest
of the S4,0OO.00O estate left by the late Will
son Waddingham, who died in New York
about three months ago. Mr. Waddingham
formerly lived in Kansas City and his
property included vast tracts of land in the
west and southwest His will, which was
filed here a few weeks ago, named David r.
Beals and c. II. T. Lewis, Kansas City
bankers, as executors. This will was exc
cuted in 1892, and provided for the pay
ment of $1,000 annually to his widow and
literally remembered many relatives. E'nese
executors We're greatly surprised Yesterday
when local attorneys filed a revocation of
the will and asked for the appointment CT
Cassius NJ. Gilbert. who has been in charge
of the Waddingham interests here, as exc
cutor. The revocation was dated in 1886,
and had been intrusted to a Philadelphia
attorney. The revocation makes no proyi-
sion whatever for the distribution of the
vast estate. 1t simply revokes The will.
One of Mr.. Waddingham's sons in law is
chief justice of the supreme court in New
Mexico and it is believed he will be called
into the csse by the heirs. Mr.. Wadding
ham had been married twice, and there
are many claimants.
In letter the Philadelphia attorney
quotes the aged millionaire as having said
of his relatives: ''They will get the money,
anyhow, and If the courts decide the mat
ter there will be none to bear me ill-will
1t will be a better way to settle the matter
than l can select"

DEMANGE CLOSES HIS. ARGUMENT.
Madame Dreyfus Awaits the Verdict
in Evident AgOny.

CHICAGO, September "a Chicago Tri-
bune special cable from Rennes says:
Madame Dreyfus awaited the sentence in
agony and deep emotion. In the Lycee
entrance the journalists were compelled to
participate in an extraordinary scene. Each
one was searched from head to foot and
their names and addresses were taken by
the ofhciouS sendarmes
AS soon the court had been formally
opened Maitre Demange commenced the
second part of his appeal taking I'D the
study OF the bordereau on all points.
His voice vibrated with emotion.
AS Demange proceeded with his appeal
he argued that the bordereau was clearly
the work of Esterhazy. He said Esterhazy
had debts and difficulties which rendered
making extra money necessary. He de-
CARED the bordereau's writing more closely
resembled that of Esterhazy than that OF
Dreyfus and pointed out that Esterhazy
had repeatedly declared that the bordereau
was his own work
Whether the verdict Is rendered before
noon depends upon whether Labor re-
nounces his right to speak.
The officers everywhere seem to be in
good humor. The city is a nest of troops.
Some take 1t that the comparatively
small number OF gendarmes in the hall in
dictates a verdict of acquittal. On the other
hand, during the deliberations of the
judges the hall viii be cleared and upon its
return the audience may find the place
bristling with troops.
Dreyfus Is holding up admirably.
