PACIFY Reversal of the Old Policy to Begin With the Recall of Weyler. MANY REFORMS ARE NOW PROMISED. Liberals Anxlous to Check the Abuses In the Administration of the Colonles. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 3.—A World’s cable from Madrid says: A World cor- respondent called on Premier Bagasta, who said, in response to queries: “You ask if the Liveral party would sssent to mediation by the United States with a view hastening the pacification of Cuba and inducing the rebels in arms and exiles to accept autonomy. Why should we need mediation when our in- tentions, long ana often expressed by the Libera! party, aim at realizing all that America could suggest? No Spanish pariy, certainly not the Liberal, could assent to foreign interference in our do- mestic affairs or with our colonies. No government could hope to induce & na- tion to accept such interference. “If America, as we firmly believe and hope, is disposed to be sincerety friendly with us, let her enforce the rules of inter- national law and stop the flow of moral and material aid, withont which the in- surre: n could not last six months. **We shall reverse completely the policy of the last two years in Cuba, beginning, naturaliy, with the recall of Weyler. “l informed the Queen yesterdav that the Liberal party would accept the re- sporsibilities of office most willingly #f her Majesty honored the party with her con , and that the Liberal party had plans for all vending questions of the day in Spain and certainly would grant Cnba autonomy along the iines traced in the procramme of the Cuban autonomists themselves. 1 said so in my manifesto in June and have repeated the same promise during ihe government hoiidays. The Liberal party is prepared to ziant Cuba 21l possibie self-government, a broad tariff and every concession compatible with the inflexible detense of Svanish rule and sov- ereignty in the West Indies. We believe this will satisiy the majority of the Cubans and we will act thus spontaneously. The new Prime Minister spoke with much warmth and an unusual fow of words, thouzh the statesman is generally reserved. It is understood that the Lib- eral party will take in hand the vigorous reform of abuses in the ad ministration in Spain, in the Philippines,jand in Cuba especially, anc initiate extensive reforms in taxation and finance. All this will meet the aesires of the Queen Regent. 1 am able to state that the Queen coafides in Senor Sagasta’s mission in forming a Liberal Cabineton an understanding that, with her full assent, he shall reverse the colonial policy of the last two years and recall Weyler immediately, and that at ber request he also undertake to reform every branch of the administration in Spain and the colonies. 1 have learned that the Queen very resclutely took the initiative throughout this crisis, and its solution is quite in harmony with public sentiment. The Liberal party will have to dissolve Parliament, the majorities in the two chambers being Cons rvative. Sl BOODFORD S INS KUCTIONS HOLD Mintaterial Chanses in Spain Will Not flct Them. MADRID, Erary, Oct. 3.—The minis- terial changes will not affect the instruc- tions which United States Minister Wood- ford originally received from President McKinley. Both General Woodford and Senor Sagasta, the Premier, maintain ab- solute reserve on the question of American relations to Spain. Leading Liverals, however, declare that Spain can never officially accept Ameri- tan mediation in Cuban affairs, Senor Sagasta had a conference with the GQueen Regent to-day, and it is expected tiat the new Liberal Cabinet will be com- plated to-morrow. General Correa bas accepted the port- fol.o of Minister o* War. — SENTIMENT OF CUBANS, to Pay Spain a Reasonable Aniount for Freedom. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 3—The Her- ald to-morrow will print a number of in. terviews with leading Cubans here on the situation in the island. Estrada Palma, representative of the Cuban provisional governmen., said: *“The Cubans are now more fully deter. mined taun ever to push the fight untii the absolute independence of Cuba is acknowledged. 1 believe the Cubans are willing to.pay a r asonable indemnity to Spain provided she withdraws her troops from Cuba before the 1sland is completely ruined.” Enrique J. Devarona said: *The only practical soluiion of the Cuban problem is absolute independence.’’ Colonel F. Lopez de Quesada, formerly of the United States army and a veteran of the ten years’ war in Cuba, said: “To avoid further shedding of blood of inno- cent people I would, though painfully, sign and give my consent to a compen: tion to Spain for the sake of getiing ria of the Spanisb.” E. Trujillo, editor of El Porvenir, said: Hitling — ““Cubans are fighting for absolute inde- pendence and will accept no other solu- tion.” Brigadier Sanchez Agramonte, surgeon- general of the Cuban army, said: ‘“‘Cuban< are firmly determined to tight until abso- lute independence is accomplished.” Regarding the plan for the purchase of Cuba from the Spanish Government Gen- eral Emilio Nunez, who has been in con- suitation with the Junta leaders in New York, said: “I cannot see how the plans for the freedom of Cuba on the basis of a guarantee by the United States of an in- demnity of $200,000,000 in cash can be dis- pleasing to any of the parties, except that the amount is generally in excess of the true value of the relics 1eft by Weyler. The United States could afford to back up the proposition, because it would have the revenue of Cuba to guaraniee reimburse- ment, and would gain immediate im- provements of its trade relations.”” — CONMULTED 1HE LEADERS. Firm Stand of the Queen Kegent That Forced the Crisis. LONDON, ExG., Oct. 4—The Madrid correspondent to the Standard says: “The Queen Regent took a strong initiative during the crisis and profoundly sur- prised General Azcarraga by leaving him no alternative butresignation. She frankly expresssd her disapproval of the Con- servative adminisiration, especially its treatment of the anarchistic prisoners imprisoned at Fort Montjuio. “‘She said she had allowed Senor Cano- vas to remain in office in the hope that he would modify the rigor of his repressive policy in Cuba and that she had repeai- edly called the attention of Ministers to administrative scandals and abuses. Moreover, her Majesty said she waited patiently for two months after the death of Senor Canovas, in the hope that the ! new Government would correct these evils. On his failure to do so she took it upon herself to consult General Campos, Senor Silvela and others as to the best means of pacifying Cuba by an endeavor to satisfy the autonomists and thus vi tually steal a march on American diplo- | macy. “‘All the statesmen whom she consulted | appear to have advised a Liberal Cabinet | as the best means of attaining the Queen’s wishes. Thereupon her Mnjesty thanked General Azcarraga for his splendid ser- | vices as a Minister of War and intimated her intention to appoint Senor Sa- gasta as president of the council. The latter, in offering the portiolios, expressed his intention to give the largest possible measure of Cuban home rule, to reverse the Conservative policy in Cuba and the Philippines, to recall General Weyler if he did not resign and to vrepare for a dis- solution of the Cortes and to select able representatives to go to Washingion and European capitals, as well as to the colonies ot Spain to prove to America and Europe that Spain is at last going to do spontaneously and sincerely what the United Siates has suggested could be ac- complished more quickly and better by mediation or interference, which the Spanisb would not brook and to which no Spanish Government could conseat. ‘“‘Senor Sagasta met with a hearty | response on the part of all liveral states. | men and all the Spanish stocks and se- curities have steadily risen on the strength of this settlement of the crisis.” The Daily News says editorially this morning: *'1f Generai Woodford has not presented an ultimatum at Madrid it seems clear that he has made representa- tions carrying similar effects and practically resulting in the downfall of | the Cabinet. Tbe change of ministry | seems 10 tend toward an accommodation | with America’s known desire.”” e i, CORKUPT 10 IHE CLOSE. i General Weyler Continues His 10 the Very Last. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 3 —The Sun’s | Havana special says: A report is current here that General Weyler will sail for "Spain on the Spanish transpor: trans-A:- lantic steamer leaving this port on Octo- ber 10. The captain-general is making many efiorts to create the gravest difficulties for the new government,and especially for his successor. He reiterates with incredible pertinacity the statement that the western | part of Cuba is pacitied, ana his departure fizhting is repeate anzas, Havana and Pinar del Rio the fault will rest with the coming captain-general. He refuses to permit his officers to state the true condition cf affairs. Weyler has also made another state- ment. He says the Spanish army in Cuba is composed now of only 80,000 men. He asserts that 25,000 men were sent back to Spain, and that about 200,000 have died in Cuba or are now sick in the hospitals, He gravely comments that such 2 great sacri- fice as this has the pacification of Cuba cost Spain. The situation in the Spanish army is really awful. Yellow fever is increasing daily among the troops. In Havana hos. pitals alone 16,000 soldiers are sick from this disease. The conditior of the sick soldiers in hospitals is also appalling. The Government has lost all credit food and medicines can only be obtained for soldiers by paying cash.’ Meanwhiie Weyler is securing large profits during his last days in power. His stubborn resistance to permitiing the im- vortation of cattle irom the United States induced some rich cattlemen in Havana to decide at a priva e meeting to bribe him. The sum of $100,000 was offered to Weyler and $5000 io the Marquis of Abumada if they would permit large ship- ments of catde from other parts of the island to relieve tise famine. The ex- ample of Weyler 1s being followed by sub- orcinate Spanish officials. FPolicy DESERFVES GENK SYMPATHY Spain’s Cause Championed by the Ber- liner Poxt. BERLIN, GerMaxy, Oct. 3.—The Ber- liner Post, in an ariicle on the Spanish crisis, rebukes the German democratic papers which advocated the separation of Cuba from Spain. The writer of the arti- cle foresees tiat the attitude of the United States is “llkely to prove a stumbling block to any Spanish M nistry, however liberally Cuba may be treated,” He aads: “Althou h Germany has no direct interest in these complications 1t is wrong and politically unwise for German papers o adont a haughty tone toward Spain, asshe deserves all the sympathby of Germany.” Will Worw jor Henry George.

RAPID GROWTH OF RAMPART Miners Flocking to the Diggings on Minook Creek. Rich Claims That Will Worked During the Winter., Be Corroboration of the Estimates of Vast Wealth to Be Taken From the Kionalke Reglon. TACOMA, Wasa., Oct. 3.—W. E. Lang- don, who returned from the Yukon or the North Fork, made more of an investiga- tion of the mining operations on Minook Creek than anybody eise wh- hascome back from that section. He s1ys the Mi- nook is located just about 1000 miles above the Yukon’s mouth. When the steamer Hamilton ascended the Yukon here pas- sengers found there sixtecen miners, one loz house and a supply store. These miners had laid outa townsite, platted ti e city, enacted miners’ laws and called the place Rampart City. They stampedea about sifty or sixty from the steamer, in- cluding passengers and ome of the crew. Wuen the Hamilton returned all the rest of her passengers, excepting eighteen, stopped at Rampart, and the town had increased from sixteen people on August 0 250 on September6. The Hamilton met with ten or fifteen boatloads of people floating down the Yukon from Circle City and Dawson to Rampart, which will be the supply center for the entire Minook Creek County. The diggings are from twenty-four to thirty miles back from Rampart. They consist of both creck bottom and bench claims, though in places the creek valley is quite narrow. They are winter diggings like tue Klondike, and it will take this winter’s work todetermine extent of the gold de- posit there. Shafis have been sunk six and eight feet, but bedrock had not been reached because of the trouble with water. The Indians claim there is gold there. Pay dirt was taken from nearly all the holes sunk thi< summer, and it was claimed at R mpart that 150 ounces of gold had been taken from one shaft. Water then flowed in and stopped work until winter. Regarding Rampart, Mr. Langdon says: *“There is plenty of timber and good wa- ter, brook trout in the streams, and it is the best place on the river to winter. Boats will leave plenty ol prov.sions there. I would not be a bit surprised if 500 to 1000 people wintered at Rampart City. Rampart gets its name from the fact thut palisades rise along both banks of the river there, giving the place the ap- pearance of possessing frowning battle- mects, while the Yukon narrows and be- comes a deep, swift stream.’’ SR R ESTIMATES OF WEALTH. During the Winter the Klondike Will Produce From Ten to Twenty Millions. SEATTLE, Wasi, Oct. 5.—The esti- mates made as to tbe gold production of the Klondike during this winter running from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 seem to be corroborated by letters received recentiy from mining men in Dawson who have representatives here. Wiliiam Stanley, the ex-Seattle newsdealer, wno brought $100,000 from the Klondike, receivea a le:- ter yesterday from bis son, George Stan- ley, at Dawson, stating that he estimated that they would take $500,000 from their claim on El Dorado Creek this winter. The firm of Stanley & Warder own 2750 feet of the richest ground on El Dorado Creek. George Stanley has employed twenty- five men all summer getting out fire wood ana making other preparations for tue winter work on their claims. These wages, and George states positively that | the firm will clean up at least a half mil- im. | The same firm owns 1000 feet on Bear Creek, a tributary to Huunker Creek, on which very rich claims were located as late as Just April. The Stanleye secured their Bear Creek claims, beiore the stam- pede. Georze states that their assessment work lLizs been done this summer, and the results have been surprisingly rich. He predicis that Bear Creek will prove an- other Bonanza. They went to bedrock in several places, and pansaveraged through- out $5 ea This 1s big money when fig- ured by the cubic yard. The Dominion authoritics are charging miners 25 cen's & cord as royalty on fire- wood and logs for cadin-building. - RICH QUARTZ VEINS. They Prom se to Piay an Important | Partin Gold-Producing Oper- 1 ations on the Yukon. TACOMA. Wash., Oct. 3.—On Klondike River and Bonanza Creck quartz veins have been found which within a year or two quartz mining will become an important pari of the golad- producing operations on the Yukon. Across the river from Dawson some mam- moth ledges are being ovened by men em- ployed by the Cudahys ol Chicago and the North American Transportation and Trading Company. Powder has been taken up the river on steamers, and with this extensive biast- ing operztions ure in progress. The Juneau Mining Record publishes a letter from Henry Kaufmsn atDawson which says that the opening of these quartz ledges is so expensive that the ore will have to be very rich to justify develop- ment, nevertheless quartz running high in free milling gold bas been found, and the work already done shows the exist- ence of large bedies of the ore. It is announced at Dawson that the North American Trausportation and Trad- ing Company will have a stamp mill on the ground next'summer, and, if it pro- duces the results expected, other mills will be taken up. People at Dawson are very much interested in the outcome of this quartz mining, because, if successful, it will pave the way for prospecting and devzlopment on a larger scale than would be possible for placer mining only. The quartz found on Bonanza Creek was lo- cated las: summer by William Oler of Baltimore, who will return in the spring to work it. It contains free gold, but the extent of the deposit is undetermined. 8Y THE ALL-LAND ROUTE. An Expedition Will Go From Los Ange'es to the Gold Flelds on Hunker Creek. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Oct. 3.—An ex- | pedition will start from this city ‘next I'uesday for the Klondike country by the all-land route through the Northwest Ter- ritory. It will be headed by George Fu- gard, a Randsburg miner, who has made a winter trip over the route to be tras- | versed and is confident of the practica- bility of a trip at this <eason. With a dozen horses and a sufficient number of wagons to carry a year's supply of pro- visions the party willleave Edmonton and travel 600 miles due north.. For over 300 miles thereissaid to be a good wagon read. I'he objective point of the travelers is j} Hunker Creek. which is one of the head- | waters of the Yukon, and thirty-five days’ time is counted on for reaching it. At Hunker Creek, according to advices re- ceived by Fugard from a friend, gold is | being taken oyt atthe rate of three to twenty ounces & day to each man. The four men who will go from Los An- geles are: George Fugari, Ed Smith, Julian B. Smith and D. B. Morrison. These four will be chums, but the others will go along wi'h the expedition. | SHOT ¥LON H1s WAGON, White Dyiving to Market a Farmer Is Attacked by Fowur Men. WATONGA, O. T., Oct. 3.—H. F.

An Assault Upon His Wife Followed by Her Death From Grief. Missing Chapters in the Career of | a Couple Who Disappeared From Bridgeport. NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct3.. —A World special from Bridgeport, Conn., says: | Colonel A. R. Logie, once a prominent citizen of Bridgeport, who disappeared with his wile in 1895, has at last been | heard from. Mrs. Logie is dead. Her | handsome husband is a raving maniac. The wife died afier a savage attack upon | ner by Colone! Logie. The tragedy in the lives of this couple, who once gathered at | their beautiful home in Bridgeport the wealth and aristocracy of the place, came in Charlotie, N. C., Mrs. Lozie dying on September 12 last, and her tusband going to an asylum a few days bafore that aate. Mr. and Mrs. Logie came to Bridgeport from Omaha in 1883. Colonel Logie be- came a partner in the firm of W. B. Hall & Co., one of the largest dry-goods con- cerns here, and of which he eventually ac- quired the sole ownership. He made friends readily and amon: all classes, and | was the idol of workingmen and the poor. He was a deacon in St. John’s Church, and was at the head of the Knights of Pythias. A fire burned Colonel Logie's store, and soon after there was a financial crasb. It did not come until Colonel Logie and his wife were gone. Tkey left quietly, and the city woke up to a sensa- tion. It was found tbat Colonel Logie owned thousands of dollars and was in- soivent. i1t is not known where they had been living all the time since they left Bridgeport, but fora ti they havehada | bhome 1n Charlotte. The Colonel had pleuty of money while there. He lived in fine style. He and wife were well re- ceived, but the husbaind fell into evil ways. Thedoctors believe that seeas of insanity had long been in his brain and mind and dissipation did the rest. Mre. Logie tecame much afraid of him and locked herself in a room when he was in his drunken moods. He barst into the house one day in a fit of drunken rage and at once sought his wife’s room. Mrs, Logie would not open her door until her husband had threatened to break it 1n, and then she aliowed him to enter. Soon afterwards her servants heard screams and a struggle in the roem. They ran out and got assistance. Colonel Logie was found strangling his wife. Colonel Logie fought like a tiger when an effori was made to rescue his wife. He was finally subdued anl put in a strait-jacket and locked up. Mrs. Logie never recovered from the shock. The doctors, however, found that death was due to a constitu- tional trouble. But every one else in Charlotte said that Mrs. Logie died from a broken heart. The experts dacided that Colonel Logie was incurably insane. He was then formally adjudged insane and taken to the State asylum at Morgantown where he now is. He cannot live long. UNKNOGWN SHIP FOUNDERS. Was Seen to Lisappear in a Fierce Hurricane, Leaving Floating 4 Wreckage. HALIFAX, N. 8, Oct. 3—The British barkentine Si. Peter arrived here to-aay partially dismasted. She was struck by a burricane on the night of September 8 and compelled to put about for Halifax in order to repair the damage. Captain ,Skaling brings the startling eport that the storm through which his vessel passed was the cause of sending to the bottom a four-masted iron sailing ship which must have carried a crew of at least forty-five or fifty men. The St. Peter and the other vessel had been sailing within sight of each other a!l'day on the 8th, but never came within hailing distance. The name of one could not be distin- guished from the deck of the other. When evening closed the big ship could be vlainly seen from the deck of the St. Peter. Then ihe - hurricane swept the ocean and the crew of the St. Peter had all they could do to keep their vessel afioat. s When the 8t. Peter righted herself on the 9th nothine was to be seen of the four- masted ship sighted the day before, but | shortly afier the barkentine vassed the floating wreck of a ship’s desk and deck- house, which the ecrew identified as be- longing to their sailing companion of the previous day. T he condition of the Si. Peter rendered | it impossible for the crew to make an ex- | amination of the wreckage in order to iearn the name of the ship, but Captain Skaling is satisfied that the other vessel went down with every soul on board. No sma!'l boats could Lave lived in the water in such a hurricane. TORTURED BY THIBETANS. Terrible Erperience of Kenry Savage Landor, the Well-Known £rtist and Writer. BOMBAY, Ixnia, Oct. 3.—Henry Savage Landor, a weil-known artist, traveler and writer, and the crandson of the celebrated Walter Savage Landor, has just returned to India after a terrible experience. He nad undertaken an exploring tour in Thivet, but he was abandoned by all the members of his company except two coo:- ies. Finally the Thibetans arrested him by an act of treachery, sentenced him to death and after torturing him with hot irons, actuaily carried him to the execu- tion ground. At almost the last minute the execution was stopped by the Grand Liama, who commuted the sentence iv torture by the “stretching log,” a species of rack which greatly injured Mr. Lan- dor's spine and limbs. After being chained for eight days he was released. Mr. Landor has no fewer than twenty-two wounds as the result of his torture. S HILL TRIB:S STILL RAIDING. Ameer of Afihanistan Forbids His Peo- ple Joising the Holy War. BOMBAY, Inpra, Oct. 3.—Advices re- ceived here from Guistan say the Orak- zais are acain gathering in force in the Kuhkani Valley, prepared to resist the advance of the British tronps, while bands of Mamozais bave arrived five miles west af Khangzarboor. In addition, the Airidis are moving on the Khyber Pass, and the telezraph wires from there to Hungu have once more been cut. The Chamkanis are also raiding. They attacked a cavairy patrol near Sadda, but decamped so soon as reinforcements ar- rived. A heavy fall of snow has made the Koh range safe. The Ameer of Afghanistan has issued a proclamation . forbidd: his subjects to leave A‘gharistan to join the hoiy war, under penalty of 5070 rupees, e ARROYO v LY 4 TOOL.

THEY AL WANTED THE INDIAN GIAL Interesting Letters From Patrons of Bain’s Mar= riage Bureau. ALL WANTED DUSKY POCAHONTASES. The Agent Says She Is at Her Father’s Wigwam Still. MANY IGNORANT INSISTENT WIFE-SEEKERS. Some Writers Were Educated, but Many Were Good Victims of " Sure~Thing” Games.« Since THE Carvr’s account of the unique matrimonial agency on Ellis street, con- ducted by ex-convict Bain, there has been considerable interest in the agency and its methods. The Federal authorities will thoroughly investigate the matter this week, the papers in the case now being in the hands of Assistant United Siates Attorney Knignt. Bain has lately assured several wife- hunters that he has a real Pocahontas up in Round Valley; that the dews of para- dise are in her eyes, and that from her midnignt tresses she flings the stars. Only this week the persistent agent said that the rich maiden whom he is nego- tiating for is piniag in her father’s wig- wam and wondering whether she will find a suitable white husband 2s a result of Bain‘s intercession. A visit to the agency is a revelation of the folly of the ubiquitous letter writer. The agency, 110 Ellis street, is a rooming- house, where one goes up stairs to be con- fronted by a card proffering the informa- tion that *‘all loud noises must be stopped at 12 o’clock.”” The agency has its head- quarters there, at the end of a dim hall, in a rccm with a bluek door, out of which the agent came in response to a knock and leaned upon the baaister in the hall. “I called on account of this advertise- ment,”” said a recent visitor. Bain read the Indian gir!’s ad and said: “They’s been locs of fellers wrote about her.”” At the same time handing back the paper. “You really have an Iadian girl as stated here then?' *Oh, yes; sure.” *Is she taken yet?” “Nope.” But no more information would the man give. Even an offer to marry his protege offhand would not induce him to divulge he r name and residence. He said the girl was one of a family of three daughters belonging to a “squaw man” in Round Valley. He intended to give the letters to the young lady and let her choose for herself. He said he knew ber well; had known the family some time; the old man was “‘well fixed.”” “Pretty? Well, kinder yaller, you know —oh, about like any half-breed would be. The claim of Bain's attorneys that the letters received by their client are from pecple of good education and standing and not of the class among which people could easily find dupes, is plainly refuted by the letiers themselves.
