STOLE A HUNDRED THOUSAND.
Heavy REGULATIONS of the Former
Spanish Minister to Chile
Took the Whole Bakery.

New York, Oct. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, says
it is estimated that the amount of
money alleged TO have been embezzled
by the former Spanish minister, Sal
vador Lopez Y G~uijarro, is more than
100000. The money belonged to
Spanish subjects, who are very indig-
nant.
Lopez received the funds from the
Chilean government to pay damages
sustained by Spaniards during the rev.
olution of 1891. Having presented his
papers of retirement, the minister
disappeared without paying a cent TO
the claimants.

CEDAR LAKE HEAD MYSTERY.
The Theory BrOnched that 1t May he
the Missing Head of
Pearl bryan

Chicago. Oct. 3.-EXperts on bones
will he called upon to determine the
character of the skull found in Cedar
lake. A portion of the scalp and
some teeth were dragged from tie
lake, Monday. by a seaching party,
but no other portion of the body was
found. Sheriff Lawrence of Crown
Point. Ind, says:
although we are completely at sea
regarding the identity of the unfor-
tunate whose head wa found in Ce-
dar lake, yet we have two points
worked u which may enable us to
eventually clear up the mystery. The
head is that of a woman, and. she was
a resident of, or had visited a large
city. The mouth plate and the two
false teeth attached to it tell this
story. We have had several dentists
examine the plate. They all say it
is from the mouth of a medium-sized
woman-that it is too small to have
been from the mouth of a man."
Sheriff Lawrence has also evolved
a startling theory in the mysterious
find, that the head is none other
than that of Pearl Bryan, who was
murdered at Covington, KY, a few
years ago.
The head of Miss Bryan wal taken
away in a gunnysack like that which
inclosed the find in Cedar lake, and
she wore a plate in her month.
Acting on this theory, Sheriff Law.
m has instructed his deputy tc
write to the father of Pearl Bryan
giving a full account of the finding
of the head and a description of the
Elate.

Paris, Oct. 3.-An official of the
French foreign office has formally
confirmed the accuracy of the details
of Frances note to the powers on
the Chinese question, rs telegraphed
from Vienna Monday night,which are,
in substance. as follows:
Substance of the Note.
ers shall insist upon the punishment OF
the instigators of the outrages and
of the leaders of the Boxers. 1t advo-
Gates immediate negotiations with
the Chinese plenipotentiaries regard
ing the material compensation to be
demanded on account of the damage
inflicted upon the missions and the
commercial interests of individuals
who suffered through the connivance
or negligence of the Chinese govern
memt, these negotiations to include
also consideration of the indemnity
due to the powers themselves. Guar
antees are also to be demanded to
prevent the recurrence of the out
breaks.
Additional suggestions.
France, in this note, makes the adj
ditional suggestions that the Chinese
trade in arms and ammunition be pro-
hibited, the forts between Pekin and
guard established in each legation at
Pekin, with the idea that this latter
shall eventually become a composite
international guard.
Official Utterances.
a press representative questioned
the official referred to as to the
causes actuatinG the French minister
of foreign affairs in issuing the note.
The official said:
M. Delcasse has been contemplate
ing this action for 4 number of days.
France wants peace and desires it eX-
peditiously. The minister is there.
fore anxious to find a middle course
between Russia and Germany which
will meet with the approval of all.
There is n foundation for the state
ment that an effort is making to Sc
cure continental accord to the detri-
ment of England or the United States.
We are unable to understand exactly
the ours the United States intends
to pursue, whether she will act Ell
tirely separate under all conditions,
OF whether she will negotiate in cor
cert with the other powers in case
they reach an agreement satisfac-
tory to her.
As Germanys Note is Understood.
"Germany's note, as understood
here, presents two propositions,
other the peace proceedings. While
people interpret it as meaning
that the first is an absolute condition
to the second, we see no
why the powers should not
proceed with the treaty preliminaries
with those appointed emissaries of
China at Pekin, while the armies seek
out and punish Prince Tuan and his
guilty associates.
There is no incompatability which,
not permit the two factions from
occurring simultaneously. Our hope is
for an agreement to begin negotia-
tions, and the note expresses NJ. Del
ideas of how best that end
can be secured. We feel there is moth |
ing in it antagonistic to the interests
of the United States and trust we
receive her acquiescence."

THERE'S A BETTER PROSPECT.
4 Complete Agreement, Following the
American Lead. In igh MS
Regards China.

Washington. Oct. 3.-Favorable
news has reached Washington from
the European chancellories indicating
that a complete agreement as toChina
is within sight. The agreement will
be on the basis of the propositions
laid down by Secretary Hay in his
note of July 5. and the subsequent
notes treating on that subject.
The accord of Russia with the Unit
ed States is more complete than was
anticipated at first, and the reports
show that all of the european ma
tons, probably. are placing them
selves in position to take advantage
of the opening made by the United
States, and soon will be ready to be-
gin negotiations for Il settlement with
the Chinese government. TEc Rus-
slams already have given notice of
such purpose, and while the text o:
the French note on this subject re-
ferred to in yesterdays press dis
patches. has not reached the state
department, the officials are satisfied
that this is correctly reported and
that France, like Russia, is ready to
negotiate at once.
As for Germany, either the position
Of thai government has been misun-
derstood or it has sustained 4 change
of mind. Possibly the former is the
case, but, however that may be, it is
quite certain, from the advices which
lave reached Washington, that the
German government, pon careful in
spection of the plans for a settlement
projected by the United States, finds
therein nothing inconsistent with the
German aspirations. Therefore, it
may be expected hat Germany, too,
will be prepared soon to join in this
common movement toward a settle
ment. 1t may be stated that alto
gether the prospects of an adjust
ment of the Chinese difficulty without
resort TO formal war are very much
brighter than they were one week
ago.

Expectations TINT Men Would Go to
Work Not Realized.

Shamokin, Pa, Oct. although
superintendent of the numerous col
lieries in this portion of the Ninth
United Mine Workers district at
tempted to start up their mines, few,
if tiny, men went to work. \ few bust
ness people expected there would be
n stampede of employees of the Read
ing Coal and Iron Co., to go under
ground on account of the company
granting an increase of ten per cent.
but they were disappointed.
Less Than Usual Showed Up.
If anything, less men showed up at
the Reading company's working than
at other operations, owing to the
strikers and their leaders having can
vassed the workmen thoroughly af-
ter the posting of the company's no
tees informing the miners of the con-
cession. The c%anvassers pointed out
that nothing was said about a reason
able reduction of the cost of powder,
the adjustment of the sliding scale
or the granting of other important
concessions.
Long before daybreak all of the
Heading company's men had deter
mined not to go to work. 1t is gen
orally agreed by most, if not all Of
the strikers, that they will not go to
work until unoficially advised by
