HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Chinese Laundryman Waylaid on
Park Avenue.

Coon Wah, proprietor of a Chinese
laundry on Park avenue, was knocked
down by five men Sunday morning
about l o'clock, on Park avenue, near
the corner of Parker street, and robbed
of SO.
About an hour after the robbery oc-
Cured Edward Blake, 20 years old, was
arrested by Officers Reardon and Cham
berlain and booked at station l for
highway robbery. Coon was unable
to give a very accurate description of
the men who robbed him, but the police
think they can very easily locate the
men, and feel certain that Blake was
one of them, although he does not ad-
NIT it.
Coon had been in Boston all day Sat
urday, and arrived in this city on the
1929 train from Boston. AS no cars
were running and not caring to pur-
chase hack ride, Coon started to walk
home. Near the corner of Parker
street and Park avenue, he was held
up by the men, who demanded his
money.
He refused to give the money and one
of them struck him in the head, knock
ing him down. He says they kicked
him when he was lying on the ground,
and then went through his pockets and
took all the money he had.
Shortly afterwards, officer Reardon,
who was going to ring in his duty call,
found Coon, and heard the story of the
robbery. When searched at station 1,
Blake did not have any money on his
| person.

TREATY WITH SPAIN.
Commercial Agreement Be-
tween Two Countries
Soon to Come.

Washington, Oct. 29.-An under
standing has been reached by which il
is expected that negotiations will be
opened soon at Madrid for a new treaty
between the United States and Spain.
This will be the last step towards com
pletely restoring the friendly relations
between the two countries.
The war with Spain swept the old
treaty out of existence and the only
international agreement now in exist
ence, the peace treaty, which Is con-
fined to the events growing out of the
war, has no reference to commerce,
navigation, extradition and other mani
fold relations between nations in times
of peace. The coming negotiations will
be for the purpose of forming such a
treaty Of commerce, amity and friend
ship. Both sides expect that the new
treaty will be g. great Improvement on
the old one, which dated back to 1895,
with many Of it's provisions devoted to
the boundary between Florida, then a
possession of Spain, and the United
States.
Save for the Gushing protocol 1t had
been impossible to frame new treaty
satisfactory to both sides, and it re-
manned for the war to dispose of it and
thus open the way for modern treaty.
1t had been thought that the Duke d.
ARGOS would conduct these negotiations
with the state department here, but
the minister is relieved at the under
standing that the work will be carried
on at Madrid.

DUE TO THE NAVY.
Spanish Officers Say They
Could Have Held San
tiago Otherwise.

Washington, Oct. 29.--The bureau Of
naval intelligence has made public a
very interesting document published at
Madrid and containing the sentence Of
the supreme court in the proceedings
instituted because of the capitulation Of
Santiago in the summer of 1895 The
defendants named in the proceedings
are Jose Toral Velasequez, general Of
division and the successor of Gen. Lii
mares in command of the Fourth army
corps of Cuba; Gen. Mesa, chief of
brigade of Guanjamos; Lieut.. Col. Ra-
fael Alegri, commander of Sagua de
Tanamo; Capt. Arturo Hidalgo, COM
mander of Alto Songo; Capt. Jose Car
cha, commander of San Luis;
| Captain Romualdo Martinez, COM
mander of Palam Soriano, and Capt.
Clemento Peyro, commander at Ell
Cristo. The defendants named, be-
sides Gen. Toral, are the commanders
of the outlying military posts which
were included in the capitulation OF
Santiago.
! The most interesting feature of the
report is the fact that the court lays
great stress upon the Importance of
the American naval forces, and declares
that without their cooperation it
would have been impossible for the
American forces TO nave compelled Lue
surrender of Santiago The sentence of
the court concludes by vindicating Gen.
Toral from any censure for the sur
render of the city, stating that he had
USED every means of defense required
by the laws of honor and duty
as attested by the brilliant battles sus-
tanned from June % to the day of ca
pitulation and the many casualties In
generals, commanders, officers and pri-
Yates during said battles"

DEPEW'S DENIAL.

A New York dispatch Saturday Gre
dited Chauncey M. Depew with deny
ing that President Clark of the New
Haven would be reelected, and with
stating that before the year had elaps-
ed the New Haven road would be a
portion of the New York Central.
1t is almost needless to deny that Mr..
Depew made such a statement. What
he denied was the statement publish
ed quoting an official of the New Haven
road as stating that President Clark
would be reelected president of the
road in November The official also
stated that within year the road
would be part of the New York Cen
trail, but Mr.. Depew did not make the
statement.
Mr.. Depew says: Mr. Clark has re.
fused a reelection, and as for the alb
sorption of the New Haven by the New
York Central, there has never been any
such intention. The New Haven is toe
rich road, and besides, the price we
would have to pay would be too great. .
