MAKE CAPITAL 00T OF SHGAST'S STAND Carlists Say That Even Lib- erals Regard the Regency as Doomed. The Premler Unexpsctedly Echoes the Sentiment Against Au- tonomy for Cuba Special Dispatgh to THE CaLL LONDON, Dec. 10.—The Madrid corre- spondent of the Daily Mail says: The Carlist orgens throughout Spain are making capital of a pronunciamento de- livered by Senor Sagasta against the au- tonomy scheme. The Carlist minority in the Cortes having issued a protest in which it drew a clear distinction between political and administrative autono- my, Senor Sagasta unexpectedly echoed | the sentiments of the protest in a speech | declaring that the nation was “‘animated by the feeling first expressed by the Carl- ist minority.” He affirmed that the country had not poured its blood and treasure into Cuba as a vain sacrifice, but in order to retain the colony as an integral portion of har | dominion, and that the Government’s ac- tion in granting political autonomy to Cubans “was in opposition to the feeling of the country and to the solidarity of | the nation.” The Carlists hail this, coupled with Gener al Weyler’s attitude, as a sign that even the Liberals regard the Government of the regency as doomed, and aie al- ready preparing to leave a sinking ship. The Carlist organs daily attack the re. gency, and reier tothe Duke of Madrid (Dou Carlos) openly as “El Rey.” It may be noted that no steps are taken against these journals, —-—— MRS.

The amount of money taken by the rob- ber was $2000, $1200 of which belonged to the McCormick Saelizer Company, and | the rest to McCarthy & Gillespie, besides | a small sum belonging to Miss Braynard,a | school-ieacher. Manager Coughlin took from this city to-day to Keswick $800 with | which to cash checks of the Mountain | Copper Company, to-morrow being pay- | day at the smelters.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Charles Zanoli, a barber, 46 years old, was arrested th afternoon, charged with grand larceny and forgery in having collected a death policy issued by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, and with having signed the necessary papers as the brother-in-law of tne dead man, when in reality he was no relative, The prisoner later admitted the truth of the charges against him, and also aaid that he had been married four times since A LONE ROBBER G A ASK L OOTS A STORE Devotedly and Patiently the President of the He Holds Up Two Men and a Woman at United States Continues the Loving Watch at the Bedside of His Dying Mother. ; the Point of a Pistol While He Goes Through the Safe, Then Locks Them In. collected insurance on the lives of each of them, and also insurance on the life of tie mother of his first wife, on the life of his daughter by his first wife, and on the life of a man named William Schmidt. The police regard the deaths of all these per-ons within so short a time, taken 1n connection with the fact that Zanoli col- lected the life insurance in each case, as suspicicus, and while no charge is made that Zanoliisin any way responsible for their taking off, yet the police are investi- gating each case for the purpose of ascer- taining whether death was regular. When the detectives placed the man under arrest ana searched him they found a loaded pistol in his pocket. The prisoner declared he regretted that he had not had an opportunity to shoot himself before be- ing disarmed. MRS, LUETGERT POSSIBLY ALIVE Wife of the Sausage- Maker Said to Have Been Seen in Boston. Declared to Have Lived at the Hub Last July Under the Name of Millie Barker. Special Dispatch 10 THE CALL. BOSTON, Dec. 9.—Tue Globe says: Mrs. Luetgert, ihe suppo-ed victim of the sausa e manufacturer murderer, so-called | in Chicago, 1salive and well. Mrs. Luetgert was seen in this city dur- ing the month of July, acknowledged her identity, besides giving more or less ex- planation of the reasons which caused her to leave her husband, who is again to be tried for his life. Such was the startling declaration made by John Schofiela of St. Louis to a Globe man. Mr. Schofield supplemented this state- ment further with the positive assurance that Mrs. Luetgert was at the house 7 Bulitineh place, for a period of three or four days during the middle of July last. He said he based this assur- ance upon the fuct that Mrs, Luetgert, while in Boston, acknowledged her full identity, with the assertion that she leit her husband, the Chicago sausage-maker, because of his actions with other women, as well as for reasons she thought would help him in his financial embarrassment in business. He further asserted that he beiieved Mrs. Luetgert was still in Boston and that she would yet be found. The Globe has interviewed Mrs. Moss of 7 Bullfinch place,who says that the woman supposed to be Mrs. Luetgert went by tue name of Millie Barker. One day the woman seemed distre d after reading an account of the ti of Luetgert and when questioned by Mrs. Moss said: “You would be surprised 1i I told you who Iam CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Four new jurors were secured in the Luetgert case to-day.

The presentation to-day by Senator Hoar of the petition against the annexa- tion of Hawaii was witnessed by the na- tive Hawaiians comprising the delegation now here to oppose the plot, who made their first visit to the Capitol to-day. They told those with whom they con- versed that their people were unalterably opposed 1o annexation. The fact that the petition was presented by Hoar is significant of his attitude. When the announcement was made in the Senate to-day that the remonstrance was signed by more than 21.000 of the na- tives the effect was noticeable. The Sen- ators who had been lea to believe the natives were indifferent about annexation were convinced that they had been falsely informed. An evening paper, rampant for annexation, tries to distort the fact by stating that the petition was signed by over 200 natives. This was not a misprint, but a williul attempt to deceive the people. Senator Davis of Minnesota, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, is re- ported to-night as saying that theattempt to ratify the treaty will be abandoned and the bill will be taken up. He said further- more thai President McKinley would ask an explanation of the Republican Sena- tors who are going to oppose the adminis- tration and the Republican national plat- form concerning annexation, and that he would use the power of patronage to bring them into line, or the denial of it to punish them. This is mere gossip, and it is not believed the President has expressed any such intention. The Foreign Affairs Committee of the House has a number of bills before it. The annexation of the Hawaiian Islands is proposed 1n several bills now pending be- fore that commiitee. Mr. Sulzer has a bill making Hawaii a Territory, assuming the Hawaiian debt up to $4,000,000 and providing for five commissioners to re- commend a plan of government for the islands. Mr. King of Utah has a bill on the same lines. Mr. Spalding of Michi- zan proposes the creation of Hawaiias a State of the Union, wilh one representa- tive in Congress for the present. The tide against annexation is seiting stronger daily in Congress. Polls of the l Sen ate, carefully made by experienced men, agree in giving the treaty only fifty assured votes. It would be necessary to change five votes from the anti-annexa- tion to the annexation side to obtain the necessary two-thirds majority. There is nothing left to cut a figure with in Con- gress except the plainest facts and sta- tisties, with which it is hard to juggle un- discovered. Tue plea so commoniy made that for commercial and naval purposea the United States needs Hawaii because that country lies at the intersectirg point of all the great tracks of commerce in the Pacific Ocean is denied by men who have carefully studied the question. “Hawail lies 500 miles out of the track,” was the comment of Rapresentative Shaf- roth of Colorado when faced with this time-worn geographical argument. Another significant fact is that among the Senators who can speak against an- nexation from personal observations are ANNEXATION IS DEAD.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Sen- ator Hoar to-day presented a monster protest in the Senate from native Hawaiians against the annexstion of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States. The protest filled 700 pages of foolscap paper and was forwarded by Enoch Johnson and Lilia Aholo, secretaries, respectively, of the Hawaiian Yatriotic League and the Hawaiian Woman’s Pa- triotic League, who made certifi- cates that the signatures were all genuine. Of the 21,269 signers, 10,300 were women and 160 were foreigners. The petition was printed in the English and Ha- waiian languages, and was very brief, merely “protesting agains; annexation to the United States in any shape or form.” PRV T T T T P R TE R PR R R ER TR PR * %% men like Mr. Pettigrew (S. R.) of South Dakota, who would under ordinary con- ditions and on general principles be counted among the men favoring any change in the existing status, particulariy a revolutionary policy. Mr. Pettigrew went to Hawaii to spy out the land and returned absolutely settled in his belief that annexation would be a great biun- der. His fellow-Senator, who also made the voyage—Morgan (D.) of Alabama—is a warm annexationist as ever, but the Ha- waiians did not deck Mr. Pettigrew's head and neck with garlands of flowers and march him in procession, which possibly accounts for the difference. Senator Bacon (D.) of Georgia, who was one of the Sen- ators invited to go to Hawaii and have all his expenses paid by the local annex- ationists, is now congratulating himself heartily that he did not accept. The form in which the invitation came to him and others was practically an offer of so much { junket in exchange for so much support in the Senate. Mr. Bacon’s answer was | that his objection to annexation was | fundamental and that nothing his enter- tainers could show him on the islands would change it. Speaking of the maiter to a visitor he said: **When I announced last summer that I should notsupport the annexation project I did so with some hesitancy because I supposed I should have little companionshio in my opposi- tion. To my astonishment I find my party practically solid on the same side. Iam opposed to annexation becauso the islands are too remote irom the rest of the Union.” A prominent member of the House, speaking to-day of the trend of feeling in the House on the Hawaiian question, said that, although he could not speak by the card, he was inciined to think that if a vote were taken to-day the House would give a majority in favor of some such ane nexation measure as Morgan’s. *‘I'his,” said he, ‘‘is due not to any con- sideration of the quesiion, but to a sort of madness for national aggrandizement, which seizes Congress from time to time. The more the question is soberly debated, however, the smaller will grow the vote.”” “Do you consider,”” he was asked, “that the failure of the Senate to muster a two- thirds vote for the treaty, or to consider the treaty at all, wouid have any i fluence upon the House in shaping its course?”’ “Ido not think that wouid weigh nearly so much with the House as a thorougn discussion of the Morgan bill. Whatever discussion might be given to the treaty in the Senate, you know, would be in secret session, and the House wauld not get the benefit ot it. Debate on an annexation | bilt, however, would be publie, and those members of the House whe had not had a fair chance to inform themselves on the subject would be able to read the pros and consn the record. The opportunity for thorough debate in the House is iess, be- cause there has to be some restrictions on | time consumed whers 80 many men would | like a hearing. “The Senate will undoubtedly give the whole question 2 good sifting, and upon the strength of the arguments oifered by | the opponents of annexation may depend
