2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1896. there was a hitch when it came to the matter of giving a guarantee that Spain would carry out ber promise. Senor Palma said to-day that the Cubans are still ready to treat with Spain and pay a reasonable sum if the campaign of de- vastation in Cuba is ended. He also said it was true that Senor Armas went to Paris last summer and that the senor had a private understanding with him before he left. He said he was not at liberty just now to say what that proposition was. When asked if it was proposed to pay Spain $100,000,000 for Cuba’s independence, Senor Palma repiied: “I do not care 1o talk about money or definite sums. It is no matter about that now, anyhow. But I will say thig, that the Cubans are still willing to pay a reasonable indemn:ty to Spain. It must be guaranteed absolute independence, however, before they will lay down their arms. Cubais free now. ‘We are no lénger a Spanish colony. “We have arms in our hands that will make our independence assured, and we shall never lay them down until the free- dom of Cubais recognized by Spain and by the world. At a word from President Cleveland we are ready to disarm upon a guarantee of independence. We are ready to negotiate with Spain as to the amount to be paid. “It would be improper for me to speak for the Cubans now or to say how much they are willing 10 concede, out if the United States will guarantee Spain’s ac- knowledgement of our independence we will give the best banker’s guarantee that we will pay a reasonable indemnity.” T e NOT PLEASED WITH LEE, But the Consul-Genesral Will Return All the Same. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 27.—A Herald special from Washington s A repor: has been current here for several days to the effect that Consul-General Lee wou!d not return to Havana. Rumors have also been carrent to the effect that the Spanish Government was displeased with General Lee’s putspoken sympathy for the insur- gents and that in comsequence of the supposed report in favor of interven- tion he would be considered persona non grata if he should return to Havana to resume his duties. General Lee was asked about these rumorsyesterday. Heemphatically stated that it was his present purpose to return to Havana -in the near future. He inti- mated that he had changed his plans about taking Mrs. Lee to Havana with him, and in explanation stated that affairs there were too unsettled to make any plans for her stay in that city. He would not discuss the question of Spain’s feeling toward him. Mr. Lee does not believe there will be any immediate change in t! e policy of the administration, and it is believed he is rather disappointed. He is convinced that intervention by the United States will come sooner or later and, although he will not admit it, there are reasons for believing that he was anxious to have the President announce an intervention pol- jcy in bis forthcoming message. There are as:urances from several official sources that the President will do nothing of the kind. If developments in Cuba or Spain necessitate a cnange of po.icy it will be announced in a special message, A Cabinet officer said yesterday that the President fully realized the inability of Spain to end the war during the present winter and that the United States could bardly be expected to keep its hands off much longer. At the same time the President was reluctant to adopt a more aggressive policy than he bad followed in the past for the reason that he does not ‘want to do anything that will disturb the business interests of the country, TS TS IN HUSPITAL AND JAIL, Bpaniards Very Busy Caring for the Sick and Prisoners.

Non-Union Laborers Who Wanted to Re- piace Hamburg Strikers Lriven From London Docks. LONDON, Exg., Nov. 27.—A large party of laborers who had pledged themselves to go to Hamburg to fill the places of strikers usserrbled at the Asbert docks under the auspices of the Free Labor Association for the purpose of embarking for Hamburg. The union laborers about the docks were informed of the intention of tbe non-union men and became indignant that they sbould lend their a'd to defeat the Ham- burg strikers. The union men armed themselves with billets of wood and made an attack, The non-union men defended themselves vigorously and a serious fight resuited. In the end the non-union men, who were greatly outnumbered, were worsted and compelled to retreat. They left the docks and tooka train for Tull- bury, from which place they will sail for Hamburg to-morrow. The Hamburg correspondent of the Times telegraphed that well-informed sympathizers consider that the movement |- is hopeless, especially in view of the cold weather that bas set in. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. ‘28.—Delegate McHugh, of the International Riverside and Dock Laborers’ Union of London, said to-day that he had nothing to do with the dock strike in Hamburg, and the longshoremen here woula not be called upon to aid the strikers in any manner. He himself was opposed to strikes and never encouraged them. He was going around to all the docks, speaking to the men at work there, inter- ested only in perfecting the orgapization of trades unions. Mr. McHugh spoke to- day at two longshoremen’s meetings, one in Irving Hall in Brooklyn and anotherat the foot of West Twenty-fourth street, New York. The last was an open-air meeting and when he began speaking there were okly a few present, bat soon he bad a large crowd of longshoremen. He advised the men to spend less money in saloons and to organiz —_—— BRING ALL YOUR TROUBLES TO M Lady Scott Wrote Rather Affectionate Letters to Her Son-in-Law, Earl Russell. LONDON, ExG., Nov. 27.—The trial of Lady Scott and the male defendants, Cockerton, Aylott and Kast, for having criminally libelea Earl Russell, was con- tinued to-day, with Earl Russell still in the witness-box. 8Sir Frank Lockwood, for the prosecution, resumed his re-exam- ination of the plaintiff, who referred to his relations with a certain girl prior to his marriage to Lady Scott’s daught-r. ‘Witness said that he had told Lady Scott all about this affair befors the wedding took place, and had also told her about the charge that was made aeainst him which had resulted in his expulsion from Oxford. . Counsel read a Jetter written by Lady Scott to Earl Russell in which she told him she loved him dearly and urged him to bring all his troubles to her. Earl Russell said that this letter was sent to him by Lady Scott after he had commnni- cated to her the incidents of his past lif-. St. George Lane, a cousin of Earl Rus- sell, was called to the stand. He testi- fied that he had objected tc Earl Russell’s marriage to Lady Scott’s daughter and warned him against association with Lady Scott on account of ber notoriously bad character. Witness said he was on board Earl Russell’s vacht at the same time that Ion Thynne was’a guest on board and it was not true, as alleged, that he had ever seen anything wrong there. If Aylott stated he had seen him threaten to strike Earl Russell, with a coat hammer, Aylott lied. Afier evidence had been given in regard to the respousibility of Lady Scott for printing and circulating the libels against Earl Russell upon which the charges against the defendant are based, the court adjourned until Monday. ———— OLDEST 40ivk ON EARTH. 27..

Referee Austin Decided That the Buffalo Boy Mad: the Most Telling Points. NEW YORK, N, Y., Nov. 27.—Frank Erne, the clever feather-weight from But- falo, went up several'rungs in the ladder of pugilistic fame by outpointing Gecrge Dixon, the famous colored champion, in their twenty-round encounter at the Broadway Athletic Club to-night. The decision was received with ap- plause, but there were many who thought the result shouid have been a draw. Referee Sam C. Austin, however, con- sidered that Erne had outpointed his op- ponent, with a good deal to spare. It was a fast and splendid battle from start to finish. Dixon began hostilities with his usual whirlwind rushes, but in Erne he founa his match. Erne stopped the col- ored cyclone with straight left jabs in the face, and pretty soon Dixon’s left eye was badly cut and almost closed, while before the finish his other optic was also swollen. Dixon did neariy all the leading, but, with the exception of a serieson the body, Erne succeedet in countering, and, in addition, when he took a hand in the leading he smashed the colured boy with- out ceremony. There is no doubt but that in Erne Dixon has found his match. Erne demonstrated his cleverness. Beyond the red and raw spots on his eye, the Buffalo boy seemed none the worse for his en- counter at the finish, and was, if any- thing, a trifle fresher than Dixon. There were about 2500 people in the house when Dixon made his appearance at 9:45. The colored champion looked as if he was trained a bit too fine and his face appeared drawn and worried. There was a few minutes’ delay before Erne appeared. He seemed to be trained to the hourand looked in fine condition. Erne’s seconds were Charlie White, Mike Leonard and Frank Zimper. Dixon’s aids were Tom O'Rourke, Joe Eims, Jimmy de Forest and Tommy West. Bo h were weiglied in at 112 pounds and started on their twenty - round journey at 10 o'clock. Sam C. Austin was referee and Fred Fieck timekeeper. Round 1—Erne towered above his dusky op- ponent. They sparred for an opening. Dixon iandea a leit on the body. Ekrne putaleit on the neck.

Just before the end Dixon put in two lefts on the body und followed np with & right on the Buffalo boy’s ribs. Rouund 3—Dixon rushed, but Erne met him with & light left on the face. Dixon soaked a left on the body and Erne jabbed him twice on the face, stopping his rushes. Erne put a straight left on the moutb. The Buffalo lad was stopping the colored bay’s rushes weil.

Football Men, Sore but Jubilant, Fight the Great Thanksgiving Game Over Again, STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Nov. 27.—In spite of the fact that a special train Wwas run last evening to take the students back to Palo Alto after the Thanksgiving day football game, but few took advantage of the opportunity. A larger crowd came down on the morning train to-day. All had husky voices sult of cortinual cheering; all were smiling and jubilant. The football game was again fought over in the cars, and will probably be discussed for many days to come. Attention was called to a statement made at the recent football rally, iflrhich Clemens '94, Stan- foru’s star halfvack, said: “With such material, you ought to de- feat Berkeley worse than you have ever done before. You ought to win by a score of atleast 20t00 " This was the score Stanford made. The news of the vh:tor{ was received last evening with great eathu iasm by the citizens of Palo Alto. The score is dis- plaved in several of the show-windows and has been posted on all the balletin. boards at the university. On all sides ‘THE CALL was praised for its complete, accurate and unbiased revort of the game. The supply of CarLs at both newsstands was soon exhausted this morning. A fresh supply was obtained from neigh- boring towns, but it, too, was soon con- sumed. Most of Stanford’s piayers feel the effect of their bard game of yesterday.

In addition to this his muscles are quite sore. Owing to the style of play adopted by Stanford her backs feel the effects of the game the most. The elbows of the men were bruised in falling after “bucking the line.’”’ Fisher has both of his elbows in bad condition. Both Searigiit and Cotton are suffering from the same kind of injuries. One of the arms of the latter is nearly twice its normal size. All of the football men will have re- turned to the university by the end oi the week. e UNIVERSITY +THLETES. Kepresentatives of Boards of Control Are in Conference. CHICAGO, Iun, Nov. 27.—Representa- tives of the athletic boards of control of the universities of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Chicago, Northwestern Illinois, Lake Forest and Purdue (Ind.) assembled this morning in special conference at the Chi- cago Beach Hotel for the purpose of con- sidering a number of questions of vital importance to college athletics. Among these 1s the matter of the six- month ruie and the four-year rule. Michigan objected to the six-month rule when it was suggested at the meeting 1n this city last year, and has steadily re- fused to adoptit. Minnesota is the only “Western colleze to absoiutely out it in force, and the attitude of Michigan has been made the basis of charges of prof s- sionalism. Tne Ann Arborites are about tired of defending themseives, and have instructed Professor Knowlton, their rep- reseniative at to-day’s conference, to an- nounce their adhe-ion hereafier to the six-month rule. The conference will be asked to make a strong stand for purity in Wesiern intercollegiate athletics. It is probable tnat rules will be adopted which will place the West upon the same footing as the East concerning requirements and regulation of athlet —_— Chicagos Claim the Championship. CHICAGO, IrL., Nov. 27.- The Chicago University eleven has decided not to ac- cept the challenge of the Northwestern University football team for a third game. Manager Haller of the Evanston team had a conference with Professor Stagg to-day endeavoring to arrange a game for next week. to take place in the Coliseum. Pro- fessor Stagg positively refused to make any such arrangement, and intimated that the recent defeat of the Northwestern by tne Maroons put them out of the cham- vionship race, notwithstanding the fact that they played a draw game with Wis. consin vesterday. The Chicaso eleven stopped training vesterday, and it is improbable that they will play again this season.

THE GREAT BEARS' CAVE, One of the Greatest Natural Curiosities in Pennsylvania. One mile from the hamlet of Hillside, on the Pennsylvania Railroad halfway up the Chestnut Ridge, is the famous Bears’ Cave, one of the greatest natural curiosi- ties in Pennsylvania.

They watched the heay- enly stranger over half an hour. Tuey first saw it through a north window in their room, but afier a while could see it through a window several feet further south without having changed their posi- tions. This proves that the airship trav- eled a long distance during the time they were watching it. Mr. St. Jobn eays that vari-colored lights were shot forth in all directions. Tuey were emitted from each end and both sides. Sométimes the light at one end or one side would be cat off. Some of the lights were white, others red, blue and green. Tuese four shades were distinctly visible. When all the lights were shining the aerial monster seemed incased in a brilliant glow, having the appearance of a powerful electric searchlight. The size then seemed to be that of an are light. It flashed often, sending the various colored rays shooting out from the center in every direction like spokes in the hub of a wheel. BSometimes it had a wavering motion and swayed baex and forth in 1its course through the heavens like a vessel at sea in a storm, but the unduaiing motion was its chief course, being varied by frequent dartings. The moonlight was not strong enough to permit a distinct view of Mount Ta- coma, but the airship was seen to ap- proach the neighborkood of the mountain at what seemed to be its exact height, and dart hither and thither as if an explora- tion was in progress, The supposed airship was still in sight when Mr. and Mrs. St. John became tired of watching it and went to sleep. They spoke of the strange occurrence to many friends next day, but what they had wit- nessed was not made public until to-day. They have eagerly read accounts of the California airship, and declare that what they sew must have been the same or an exactiy similar contrivance. Hundreds of people are on the lookout here for another appearance of the airship. Seeking a Reoriver.

Erisa to city people, and, in fact, too few now of the near existence of such a wonder as the cave. The entrance is far more picturesque than that of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, Immense ledges of rock and great bowl- ders shadow the mouth of the cave, from which in the summier is constantly relling out a volume of air with a temperature of about 60 degrees. I made my first explora- tion of Greal Bears' Cave in the summer of 1861. I made a second exploration in 1866 anc a third last week. Among the Pittsburg gentlemen still living who were in the party o 1866 are William 8. Miller, Ed _P. Long. Dr. Thomas D. Davis and Major Hugh Logan of Logan’s Ferry. We were well provided with balls of ‘twine, lanterns, candies and matches, and plored the cave at least one mile. 'The are large rooms and small, abrupt d. scents, a gurcling stream, ‘“fat man’s misery,’” small lakes, sf mites and sta- lactites, in brief, all the attractionsof a well-regulated cave. Over the mouth of it might be built a botel which would havesa decided cool temperature all through the heated season.
