SPAIN QUIETLY LAUGHS.
Knows Inside Of Intervention Story,
but Can't Tell IL.

London, Feb. ls.--What the Saturday
Review now terms Lord Cranborne's
''indiscretion would doubtless have
brought upon the government sevefe crit
icism had not the A1glo-Japanese treaty
diverted public attention, and had not the
alliance been generally regarded as a
great stroke Of diplomacy. As 1t is. the
dispute has served TO strain to really
serious point the relations between Great
Britain and Germany, which. were nonc
too harmonious prior to the first ques-
ton on the subject asked by Henry Nor
man in the House of Commons.
Among diplomats In London the CON
troversy Is generally regarded as Offset
ting the benefits Of "England's coup In
China" A member of the Spanish dlpic-
matte service. now here, said:
We View the sqGabble with consider
able amusement, but have no intention
Of putting in an oar. Should we say all
we know. our relations with several of
the European powers, which are now
quite satisfactory, might be seriously i'm
paired. Moreover. We are not In the hab-
Ii of breaking the Hard and fast laws OF
diplomatic secrecy. We are naturally
pleased, however. that the affair has
brought out the fact that we practically
gave in to all the conditions demanded
By the United States. and that our sub
mission, on which tho ambassadors de-
liberated April ii, lsSs, was suppressed.
This allegation Of the suppression of
SPANS submission is also discussed AT

explanation Is forthcoming. the incident

DIED A FREE MAN.
Patrick Foley Pardoned, Satur-
day, by Governor Crane.
Died in a Few Hours at Home Of a
Friend in Boston.
Was Serving Life Sentence at Charles
town for Murder.

Hosion, Feb. l6.-After serving seven
years Of life sentence in the state
prison at Charlestown, Patrick Foley
was, Yesterday. pardOned from there by
Gov. Crane only to die IA few hours
after at the home of n friend in this
city from consumption.
The crime for which Foley was serv-
ing his lifetime was the murder Of Du
Roy Foster. a constable of Burlington,
Mass. in September, 1894.
Foley with two companions. sullivan
and Maggie, We're out in Burlington on
"a foraginS expedition with n covered
marke wagon. Apparently they held
up Il man on the road, for late that
night this man went to the home OF
Constable Foster and reported being
stopped by highwaymen. Foster agreed
to go with the man to investigate. ii
was a moonlight night and as Foster
was driving up a hill leading from Bill
lerica into burlington the men with him
recognized a wagon ahead as the one
driven by the men who stopped him.
Foster then saw three men crossing a
cabbage field and headed for the COW
cred wagon in the road. He told the
thhil ~ Iolu lt1t W ME ne ran u
intercept the three men. \ minute later
thu men gained their wagon and opened
u fusilade with reyolvers and then
drove OH. The man in Fosters team
saw Foster fall and n minute later
found him dead. He drove back to Bill
ierica and secured several officers.
The shooting was witnessed by a
young woman in the house in front of
which the covered wagon had stopped,
for the men intended to take produce
from shed in the rear. The descrip-
ton Of the men and the wagon which
she gave proved important. A general
alarm was sent out to surrounding
towns. On Sept. IL, Sullivan was ar
rested at his home in Somerville, fol-
lowed few days afterwards by Foley
and Magic. The arrest was made by
Sergt. Kelly of the local police,
AT the February term of the superior
court in Cambridge in 1895 all three
were sent to state prison for the rest
Of their natural lives. Frequent efforts
have been made by friends of Magic to
nave him pardoned, on the ground that
ne was innocent of what the real OBJ
jeet Of the other two was in bringing
MIN to Burlington. but so far they have
been unsuccessful.
About year ago Foley's health be-
gan to fail. A petition was sent to
Gov. Crane asking for the pardon of
foiey, but it was only granted when
ne was assured that the latter's recoy-
cry was out of the question. 1t was
the wish of Foleys friends that he die
outside the state prison. Yesterday. the
Governor affixed his name to the par
don and Foley was only a few hours
out when he passed away,
