Washington, Oct. 25.--In view Of
the widespread comment that the
Anglo-G German alliance campaign in
China was open TO the possible con-

menace or threat against some other
power interested in the Chinese ques.
ton, the attention Of Count de Quadt,

called to this point. Count de Quadt
said that he was able to give cate

on the highest authority, that the
agreement involved no menace what
ever to any power concerned in China.
He said this applied to all the parties
which had taken a hand in Chinese
affairs. Count de Quadt stated vito
equal positiyeness that there was no
founda ton for reports of further or
additional features to the agreement
beyond those transmitted to the var

q dispatch from Peking says: "a
preliminary convention between China
and the combined powers has been
proposed by Prince Ching and Ii
Hung Chang. It is as follows:
Article /. L ying siege to the le.
cations of foreign ministers is high
offense against international law. No
country can possibly tolerate such a
thing. China acknowledges her great
fault in this respect and promises
that it will never occur again.
cart. 2. China admits her liability
to pay an indemnity for the various
losses sustained on this occasion, and
the powers will each appoint Off
Gals to examine and present all
claims for a final consultation and
settlement.
art. 8. As to future trade and
general international relations each
power should designate how the mat.
tiers are to be dealt with, whether the
old treaties should continue or new
conventions should be made, slightly
modifying the old treaties, or cancel
ing the old treaties and negotiating
new ones. Either of these plans may
be adopted and when China has ap
proved them further special regula
tons can be made in each case as
required.
"Art. A.. This convention will be
made with China with the combined
powers to cover the general princi.
pies, which apply alike to all. This
settlement reached, the foreign minis
ters will remove the seals they caus.
ed to be placed in various parts OF
the tsung-li-yamen and attend to bust.
ness as usual. And further, each
power should arrange it's own special
affairs with China, so that separate
treaties may be settled i'll due order.
When the various items of indemnity
are all arranged properly, or an un.
derstanding has been reached about
them, the powers will successfully
withdraw their troops.
cart. S. The troops sent to China
by the powers are for the protection
of the ministers and no other pur.
pose, SO when the negotiations begin
for treaties of peace each power
should first declare M armistice."

SPAIN CONFRONTED ny CRISIS.

Elevation of Butcher" Weyler Follow
ed by tho Resignation Of the Cabinet.
Madrid, Oct. 23.-Spain is facing
:risis again. General Weyler is the
causevof it. The cabinet resigned en-
masseE as a protest against the APP
pointment of the butcher as cap
tain general of Madrid. To make the
affair all the more serious, the queen
regent later received Don Azcarraga
and requested him to become respon-
sible for the formation of a new
ministry. Azcarraga is known to be
u strong supporter of Weyler, and
throughout all the latter's bloody ca
reer in Cuba was one of his Sstanch-
est supporters. The fact that the
| queen regent has invited one of Wey-
ler's closest friends to form cabi-
net which is to take the place of the
one which has shown it's disapproyal
OF Weyler in so marked manner is
especially significant. 1t is thor
cughly understood throughout Spain
that Weyler has cost the nation her
colonies and her pride. To him alone
Dpain looks when placing the respon-
ibility for the loss of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines Weyler, by
his inhuman and atrocious treat
ment of the Cubans, is the man who
is held up to scorn throughout the
country whenever the war with the
United States and it's disastrous end
ing is recalled. Consequently, when
1T was announced that he had been
l'.ppointed to the very high post Of
taptain general of Madrid there was
!. tremendous amount of feeling
thown everywhere. At first people
ieemed surprised at such mark Of
distinction being shown to the former
governor general of Cuba. Then an
Ger came, and tonight there is no
sign that it will subside. The queen
regent has famed the flame by so
promptly accepting the resignation
Of the Silvela ministry and then at
once asking man who is thoroughly
committed to Weylerism to organize
a new cabinet.

Sioux City, Oct. 23.-An epidemic OF
smallpox is threatened in northwest
ern Iowa. About twenty cases have
made their appearance in various
places and such little attention has
been paid to the state quarantine reg
ulations that a wide spreading of the
disease is expected. At Moorhead,
Iowa, there are now eight suspicious
cases and at George, Iowa, there are
two or three; at Decatur, Neb., there
are half dozen well developed cases.
Most of the Iowa eases can be traced
to Decatur, Neb., where there has
been almost no restriction. Steps
have been taken to establish vigorous
quarantine in the Iowa towns, but it
is feared that many people have al
ready been exposed. Sioux City is
preparing to protect itself.
