PENNELL'S DEBT
Friend and Legal Adviser Of PennelI in
His Lifetime Tells Of the Interview
With Dead Mans Brother.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 7.-Wallace
'rhayer, who was Arthur r. PenneiPs
friend and legal adviser in his lifetime
was seen today relative to the pub
|lished statement, quoting him as saying
there is no doubt that the story OF
misrepresentation was true and that
Pennell's brother J. Frederick Pennell,
had pleaded with him to destroy the
trust papers, repudiated much that was
attributed to him and made a brief
statement, which embodied, he said, all
that he cared to state at the present
time. Thayer said:
~. Frederick Pennell, brother to A.
r. Pennell, came to me last Friday
and told me Arthur had left large debts
to friends in the east. These debts,
he said, were large enough to PRACTICAL
ly consume all insurance and he ad-
vanced that as a reason why should
turn over to him the $25,O00 in in
surance which Arthur left in trust with
me- He said: Unless you do this, there
will be practically nothing left for
me- drew the inference from his
statements that his brother must have
made misappropriations of money.
There's a vast amount of debts against
the estate, some two hundred thous-
and dollars, and / can show he could
not have went into debt to this amount,
unless he spent money belonging to

Fisher said the syndicate, whose a.

The whole difficulty arose from vendor

PALMA's MESSAGE.
Says Relations With tho United States
Are Cordial.

Says Relations with tho united states
Are Cordial.
Havana, April 7.-Congress reassem-
bled yesterday A message from Presi-
dent Palma was ready. The message
declares that the relations between
Cuba and the United States are ex-
tremely satisfactory.
President Palma says:
"Our relations with the United States
continue to be close and cordial. Much
more gratifying is the noble and reso-
lutely favorable attitude of the presi-
dent of that great republic. 1t is enough
to remember the obstacles which his
stubborn will shall haze overcome in
negotiating the reciprocity treaty and
obtaining the ratification thereof, and
his firm purpose to summon a special
session of congress to definitely ap-
prove it.
Besides the sympathy and respect
which we inspire among the American
people by our exemplary conduct as an
independent people, who realize the du-
ties and responsibilities of citiznship,
these circumstances powerfully con-
tribute in solidifying the good UNDER
standing between both nations.
at is In our interest worthily to cul-
tiyate these sentiments and we can not
do so better than by carrying out our
obligations to the Washington govern
ment, expeditiously, frankly and cor
rectly, whether it be By grant of what
we ought to grant or refusing what we
consider ourselves justified in refusing.
1t is unnecessary to recall the fact that
in the naval station agreement which
is in the hands of the senate. the United
States has obtained sites at Guantana-
mo and Bahia Honda, after asking also
for Nipe and Cienfuegos
'1t being impossible to elude carrying
out our duty in accordance with the
Platt amendment the executive believes
that the convention has been made the
most favorabl possible and recommends
speedy appreciation SO that 1t may be
possible to negotiate an additional
agreement to establish the Drice of the
leases and other conditions and details
regulating the possession of the stipu-
lated areas of land and water.
"The government is at present occu-
lied with the Isle of Pines matter, and
il has reason to hope that the settle
ment thereof Will be satisfactory to
Cnha"

ing the Objectionable laws passed
hereunder by the retiring councillors
of state, dissolving the skUpshtana, and
-enacting the laws as they existed
previous to the constitution of 1901. The
second proclamation restores this con-
stitution to it's former validity.
In the first proclamation the king
says the senate and skupshtina created
under the constitution granted by him
in 1891 passed laws which proved im-
tuition, by tending to fan political pas
sions, prejudiced interests Of the ia
therland and hindered its development
as state and nation.
Affairs in the Balkans. the king adds,
are very serious and SSrvia needs or
der, unity and peace. She should offsr
Ia bright example of peace-loving
state and at the same time always be
ready to defend her own true interests
should this become necessary for the
purpose of testing the unity, strength
and order of the country. The king
then suspends of constitution of 1901
and declares the mandates Of the sena-
tors to be null and void, and the procla-
nation goes on to announce that the
councillors of state are retired and the
skupshtina is dissolved. Several Of the
laws, including the press law. commu-
nal law and the act governing the cleo
toral system, are annulled and replaced
by the laws previously existing.
Immediately after this proclamation

tors and councillors of state We're is
sued and the king issued a second proc
lamation in which the constitution of
April %, 1901. was restored to its full
