Loxpox, Sept. 23, 1875. ‘The Times to-day has a letter from Madrid giving the following interesting news trom Spain;— THR NEW CAMINET, Tho new Ministry belong to what is called the union of the liberal party, formed by O'Donnell from the best elements of the then conservative party and the liberal party. They come into the Cabinet with clean hhands and a reputation for talent and integrity. THE LATE MINISTRY. . The correspondent ascribes the change in the Min- istry not only to dissensions on the question of suf- frage, but to the distribution of some highly lucrative posts in Cuba and the Philippine Islands, which were sought by all parties, not only with avidity but acri- mony, and, it is said, personal coarseness, THE “MODERADOS.”” The moderado party, furious at their defeat, have been very bitter in the expression of their opinion since being ousted. Their behavior will have the effect of disgusting both the King and the country with their prejudice and want of liberality. HOPEFUL PROSPECT, The tide of feeling is setting iu the right direction, and all things point to the union of the liberal party as the one most likely to form wisely a just aaministra- tion, THE REPUBLICANS. Seiior Castellar of late has moderated many of his advanced ideas, and, in all probability, his adherents, if not himself, will offer themselves for seats in the Spanish Cortes and become powerful supporters of the liberal monarchy. ‘THR ARMY, ‘The majority of the officers of the army support the Present régime and desire to put an end to the war, THE PROVINCES WEARY, As to the state of feeling in the provinces it is simply ‘ono of utter weariness ani indifference, There is very little national, though plenty of provincial, feeling left in the country.

Lospow, Sept. 23, 1875, The Times, in a leading article this morning, com- menting on the detailed report of the Special Com+ mittee of the House on Foreign Loans, says:— If these allegations cannot be refuted, Don Gutierrez, tho Minister of Honduras, must be held guilty of having yconspired with Mr. Lefevre and others to defraud the British public, There cannot be any question that the igovernment is bound to refuse him any furtnoryecog- |nition, His historical account furnishes no satisfactory ‘answer to these charges, The time has arrived when be must be more explicit, THE PRINCE OF WALES.

NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1875—TRIPLE SHEET. BURIED ALIVE. A Newly Made Well Caves In at Springfield, Mass. SYKES, THE WELL-BORER, ENTOMBED. He Converses with His Reseners at Intervals During Forty-eight Hours, Marvellous Stupidity of the Workers. Sykes Reached at Midnight and | Supposed To Be Dead. Sprinavieny, Mass., Sept, 23, 1875, For two days and two nights has the quiet town of West Springfield been thrown into a fever of excite- ment and this staid old provincial city not a little stirred by one of the most terrible accidents which has happened in this vicinity for many a day—namely, the burying alive, in a newly dug well, thirty-seven feet below the surface, for nearly thirty-six hours, and yet unrescued, of Lester Sykes, a plumbor by trade and a bachelor, living at the corner of shad lane and the Cold Spring road, The facts of this shocking accident, as gathered by a Herat representative, are as follow: It seems that Daniel Colden, living on the Amostown road, about half a mile beyond the new West Spring- field reservoir, and some three miles and a half from this city, had dug a well | beside his.~-house thirty-seven feet. =~ down | without finding the water to fill it, He then employed Mr. Sykes, a professional well-borer, and the unfor- | unate victim of this terrible accident, Soon after | | dinner, Mr. Colden himself fixed the ladders, and yes- | terday afternoon Mr. Sykes descended with his tools, The bottom of the well was of quicksand, a curbing of plank backed by straw extending nearly to the bot- tom and to within twenty-one feet of the top, the rest of the upper part being gravel and requiring no curbing. THE TREACHEROUS BUBBLE. Mr, Sykes had bored about eight feet down with a small pipe when he struck a vein of water which im- mediately bubbled to the surface, As quickly asa flash | the treacherous quicksand began to move. The | doomed man saw his peril and sprang for the | ladder, but so quick was the rush of the | down-coming sand that before he had ascended a half dozen rounds the walls of the well had entirely closed Singularly enough, in falling, the planking at whe top | had so lodged as to protect and leave Sykes’ head en- | tirely free, while the rest of his body, his arms and legs were pinioned fast by the sand and planking, and | yet without a bono being broken and but fow bruises, CRYING POR HELP, The earth had not packed so ciose above but that he could make himself heard, and loudly did he call on | Colden for help; but the latter, transfixed with terror, stood mute and helpless. ‘The imprisoned man then directed Colden to summon help, and he speedily encountered the Rey. Mr. Pomeroy, who descended into the well at considerable risk. After learning from Sykes how he was situated, and that ho was not suffering much from pain, he assured him that he would soon bring help, to which Sykes replied, ‘Do, and God biess you.” ‘THE PICK AND SHOVEL RESCUERS. Help soon came, for the news of the accident, once started, spread like wildfire, and speedily a score of men were ready with pick and shovel to assist in releasing the doomed man, The sun was yet three hours bigh in the heavens, and it did seem as though persistent hard work might dig him out-in safety before dark, but, alas! the strong brawny arms of the countrymen were as ignorant of the best method as they were willing to work, and for sheer lack of skilful direction two days ‘and two nights of almost continuous digging have failed to rescue tho tmprisoned man, who almost unharmed, in tht full possession of his faculties, able to converse with and even in a meas- ure direct the efforts of his would-be rescuers, has literally died by inches through thirty-six and more hours of suffocation and starvation. At first Sykes thought the sawing off of a plank would relieve him sufficiently to enable him to free himself. It was an unfortunate move, for no sooner was it cut than it let the earth in upon him in larger quantities and necessi- tated the foreing of a gas pipe down to the open space about his head to give him air to breathe. This was successfully done, and then the workers began to dig down on the outside a sufficient distance, to throw the dirt back from the side where the caving in was the greatest, 80 as to relieve the pressure of the boards, ALL NIGHT WORK, Night coming on a huge bonfire was kindled close by the weil to furnish light for the toilers, and all night till three o'clock this morning the work was continued, A BLUSH. At this time Sykes, either from exhaustion or sleep, ceased to reply to the shouts above, and the toilers—l blush to record it of a Western Massachusetts town, in this nineteenth century—discouraged and thinking him dead, ceased to work and left him to his fate. Soon after daylight this morning, however, it was discovered that the unfortunate and deserted man was still alive. His breathing, as though in slumber, could be plainly heard through tho gas pipe. Then the work of digging him out was renewed, and as the day wore on hundreds collected around the spot to see and assist during tho forenoon. SYKES CONSCIOUS, Mr. Sykes recovered consciousness, and, at twelve minutes before noon, replied to a question that he had his senses and was tolerably comtortable, and had occa- sional glimpses of light through the apertures about the ladder, which reached some feet above the fallen debris, At five minutes past twelve he spoke again, and asked the men to be careful to protect him and get him out and give him some water, He was assured that every possible thing was being done for his succor. None but eye witnesses of the place and circum. stances can conceive of the caution which it was neces- sary to exercise. A false stroke or a wrong plan would not only inevitably fill the well and bury the poor man beyond all hope of recovery, but also greatly endanger tho lives of several of the pioneer workers. ‘Careful, carefull’? was the cry from the picked few who worked about the mouth of the well, for an occasional clod fell, and, as it rattled on the planking, sounded like the knell of sods on a coffin, At one P. M. a large land slide occurred and the treach- erous sides of the well threatened to annihilate the trio of brave men in the unfinished curbing, but a new curb- ing was soon got in and the men again fell to work with awill. At twenty-five minutes past one Sykes feebly an- swered “Yes” to the question, “Are you alive yet?” and the crowd, which by this time numbered fully one thousand persons and over two hundred teams, gave a rousing cheer, while well dressed mon from this city plied spade and pick till perspiration trickled from their faces, None stopped for dinner. Huge baskets of crackers and cheese were passed, but few had cither the time or the desire to eat, The earth was bard and gravelly, and digging was discouraging work. During all these twenty-four hours not a mouthful of food or drink had tho doomed man received; for, although his head was comparatively frec, he could not move hands or mouth to the iron pipe which furnished him with air, It was a sadly solemn scene; an impressive stillness hung over the place, broken hy murmuring voices discussing some new plan or’ th probability of success, Tho sudden death by railroad crash or roaring flood would have produced less shock than this slow torturing death ofa single man, separated from twice a thousand willing, hefping hands by only a few feet of treacherous earth, SYKES DORS NOT RESPOND, About three o’clock Sykes again ceased to respond to tho calls, nor could his breathing be hear’ through the pipe, and the general impression was that he had at Inst succumbed to his fat Soon after, for some unac- countable reason, the saspipe was pulled ap, and the now quiet victim was 1+% no means of obtaining air, ex” cept as it found its war through the beams and sand over his head, Hardly /:ad the pipe been withdrawn, too, when City Marshal Pease, of this city, arrived with forty feet of rubber pipo, which no one proviously scomed to have thonght of, so bungligly has the whole plan of rescue bgen manaced, Bu, of Poriodicals or any $4 Maas! | SuvanGan FORA iio Putte 7 SERENE ane course, the pipe, which before might have conveyed bourishment and drink to poor Sykes, was now use- Jess. The diggers, bowever, reinforced by men from this city, continued their work on the second well, and by nightfall had reached a depth whero it was deemed sufe to start a tun- nel toward. the imprisoned man, On that they are now working with hardly a prospect of reach- ing him before morning, so slow and careful must be the work, owing to the dangerous character of the soil. SYKES REACHED AND PROBABLY DEAD, Poor Sykes was reached shortly after midnight, thirty six hours nearly from the tifie of his incarceration, by the men at work tunnelling toward him from the second well; but he gave no sign of life, and undoubt- edly is dead. It will be some hours yet before the time bers and sand piled around him can be cut away sufll- ciently to allow his body to be removed, A skureh OF SYKES, Sykes is about sixty years old and is well. known in this city, He once lived on the old Holmes place, on Stato street, and has worked in near; in the cit; Luther Sykes, Vice President of the Chicago.and North- western Railroad, No. 62 Wall street.

THE GRAND COUNCIL DILATORY PROCEEDINGS ON THE PART OF TH INDIANS—DIFFERENCES AMONG THE CHIEFS AND PROBABLE FAILURE OF THE MISSION— THE BANDS APPROACHING IN BATTLE ARRAY, Winte River, Neb., Sept, 22, 1875. Via Fort Lanasiz, Wy. T., Sept, 23. The Commissioners had no talk with the Indians yesterday or to-day. Yesterday the latter attended on | the beet issue and counselled among themselves. All | the bands except the Cheyennes are supplied with cattle for ten days. Six hundred and forty head were issued and 200 more are required, The Cheyennes are angry because of the deficiency, and a small dis- turbance occurred among them yesterday. This morning a commission waited four hours here for the coming of Spotted Tail, Messengers went. back and forth between his camp and the Grand Tepee, No Flesh at length came at two o'clock with intelligence that Spotted Tail was holding acouneil with his people, telling them what he would say to the commission, and they had approved it, He would come to the councit ground as soon as he had finished the pow-wow with his people, Meanwhile the Qgallala Sioux had gathered, Rod Cloud, who said his heart was good, was here; also Red Dog. A LINK OF BATTLE. The Missouri River Indians approached’ in line of battle, singing and hallooing. The Indians crowded to- gether apart trom the whites and talked. Living Beary aCheyenne, made a speech exhorting to harmony in council, RED DOG RXALTED, Red Dog exalted himself, He said he could whip any other Indian here, Just at this time Living Bear and Little Wolf's band of Cheyennes approached from the north, their rifles gleaming in the sun. When near, they fired a volley in the air as a salutoy startling every- body. Two companies of cavalry were drawn up on two sides of the Tepeo and were made ready for action, ‘The mistake was instantly seen and quiet was restored. ‘The young men of the Cheyennes need watching. ANOTHER POSTPONEMENT. At half-past two, in deference to Spotted Tail, a post ponement took place, and the Commissioners and escort started back to the agency, Nothing was accomplished. Before they left the Arapahoes came up in line of battle, When the gathering was dispersing this morn- ing, some meddlesome white men spread the rumor through the Ogallala camp that the mission was go- ing to the Grand Tepee with bad nearts, THE INDIANS SUSPICIOUS. In the village all the ponies are tied up at the tepes. doors, ready for any emergency. The Indians are not to be trusted. THE PROSPECT of a conclusion of the treaty is very doubtful, Lone Horn, of the Minneconjous, says he don’t want to treat; that hot enough of his people are here. The patience of the commission is nearly exhausted, and they will abandon the negotiation if not successiul soon. The differences and jealousies among the chiefs seem irre- mediable. The Minneconjous do not want to cede the country. The Indians expected presents to propitiate them, and the disappointment makes their hearts bad. Generals Terry and Beavis think the omission of presents a mistake. ‘The responsibility of the failure to make a treaty will be thrown upon Congress, RUNOVER ACCIDENTS. Morris Sheltoon, a German, about fifty years of age, of No, 26 Fourth street, Brooklyn, while riding up West street, on the front platform of car No, 43 of the Tenth avenue line, was accidentally pushed off on the corner of Harrison stroet by a passenger whose name is unknown. Sheltoon fell under the car, the wheels of which passed over his leg, and he was removed by the police of the Fifth procinet to the New York Hos~ pital. ‘The leg will have to be ampu' John Cooney, fifty-five years of age, residing in Fighty-fifth streot, near Madison avenue, was run over. by a truck at Ninety-seventh street and Third avenue- last night, and sustained serious injuries. He was re- moved to the Ninety-ninth street Hospital. OBITUARY, JAMES H. O'DONNELL, A despatch from Philadelphia announces the death of* James H.
