The ministry whose resignation has just, been announced was constituted as follows: Prime minister and minister for war. General Mercelo de Azcarraga; minister for foreign affairs, the duke fo Tetuan; minister of marine. Rear Admiral Dpn Jose M.

Owing to the cabinet crisis the Cuban pourparlers have been post poned. .'--.-.. -I Midnight It is 'said that Senor Sa gasta is In t&vpr of superceding Cap tain uenerai vveyler and of granting autonomy to Cuba immediately. Senor Gamazo will probably be min ister of foreign affairs in the new cab inet. . i I . On August 27th last it was announced that Senor Sagasta, the liberal leader, had made a fresh declaration on the political situation. jHe said affairs were daily growing worse in Cuba and con tinued serious In the Phillipine islands. He added that a liberal ministry would be ready to apply; autonomy to Cuba. Again, on September .14th Senor Sa gasta, referring to the Cuban insurrec tion, said the uprising, instead of dying out, was spreading considerably. He asserted that the Carlists propaganda in Spain could not be viewed with in difference and he expressed the belief, that a reconciliation between the polit ical parties in Spain was impossible so ' long as the conservatives were in pow er. Senor Sagasta; in conclusion re marked: "In my opinion the cortes will not meet, but if they do meet their ex istence is ephemeral." Regarding the1 relations between the United States and Spain, the liberal leader- refused to express himself J Washington, September i 29. The news of the Spanish cabinet crisis -was first brought to thej attention of the of ficials of the state department and dip lomatic officials through the Associated Press bulletin from Madrid, and up to a late hour tonight from no other source was information on the subject forthcoming. It isS surmised that Min ister Woodford's' failure to cable the department was attributable-i to the fact that it was after nightfall in Mad rid before the news became . known.. It cannot be said that the event caus ed surprise among: the officials of the state department, Jor among the mem bers of the diplomatic corps in Wash ington. A careful inspection j of the cable news for the; past few weeks had -left the general impression that the cabinet erected in ( haste after the as sassination of Premier Canovas coud not be expected to survive long. There were several reasons for this expecta tion, but perhaps the principal one was the belief that -the dissensions amoig the supporters ojf . the government, caused by the personal encounter be tween the duke of Tetauti, the minister for foreign affairsriand one of the lead ers of the dissident conservatives ,had not been healed, but, had only been 'bridged over temporarily. The dissident conservatives at the. time insisted upon the resignation of j the duke as a con dition of their further support of , the government. As the government de pended, not upon a homogeneous party, hut rather unon a Union of various ele ments generally j opposed to. liberal ideas for' its existence, that -was a threatening condition and a crisis was averted only through strenuous efforts of conservative leaders. . - '. -t a " As to what is to; follow the, resign tion of the cabinet, officials here, are completely in the dark. Secretary Sher man does not believe-that it will mate rlally affect the delations of Spain either to the United States or to Cuba, which seems to indicate an expectation "on his part that when the cabinet is re organized it will be" found to be still -of a conservative tendencyr On the other iiand, high officials; in the administr;a- HOME MADE FURNITURE TWO CARJIiOAD S PURCHASED FOR THE STATE MUSEUM The Battle Begun Between Kxperts as to the Nature of the Bones Found In the Luetgert Vat A Witness for the Defense Swears It Is the Femur of aHog Chicago, September 29. Hog ) or hu man. That is the issue in the Luetgert case at present, and according to the view of the case adopted by the jury is the fate of the defendant likely to be. If hog, he will in all probability go free, if human, there is ;no telling what will happen to him, or rather what may not happen to him. The defense proved that the bone which Dr. Dorsey, the osteologist .of the Columbian museum, declared was the member of a human being, of. a woman I and of a woman of delicate physical structure, as was Mrs. Luetgert, is nothing but the bone of a hog. It came' from a hog of delicate organization, so said the expert for the defense,' but he was nothing but a hog for all that. The witness who declared all this for; the defense was Dr. ;W. H. Allport, professor 'of descriptive and comparative anatomy Jn the Western university, j He declared . in the most positive manner that ,the femur was that of a hog, and j that there was no chance for his being mistaken in the matter, f Dr. Dorsey, who proved for the state that the femur was; that of a woman, was in the ' court room when Dr. All port was on the stand and his face flushed when the expert for the defense declared that the bone was from a hog. He will take the stand when-the time comes for the state to offer its evidence in rebuttal and prove to the jury that the femur is not that of a hog but of a human being, of ai woman and a wo man of delicate physical organization. The declaration of; Dr. Allport clear ly defines an issue between- himself ahd Professor Dorsey. They are the re spective leading experts of the defense and the prosecution.) Both prided them selves upon their reputations 'and a battle royal will be the result. Dr. Allport drew pictures of what he said represented a human femur and a hog's femur, and explained to the jury the difference between them. The differ ence was principally in the socket of the hip joint, according to the witness. Tomorrow Dr. Allport will foe cross ex amined after he has testified further concerning metacarpal, sesamoid and temporal bones.' .!".' ' . - - Previous to Dr. Allport's testimony, Professor J. A. Weisner gave, evidence J in support of Dr. Ttiese's" testimony in. connection with the! experiments with human bodies made in the vats in the Luetgert factory early in the - present month. His testimony was of a corrob orative character. . "j State's Attorney Deneen smilingly de clared tonight that iProfessor . Dorsey would settle" the question as to the identity of the bones; beyond a question when next he appeared upon the wit ness stand. ;' f " Luetgert and .his lawyers were well satisfied - with . the showing .mad and ex"-Judge Vincent said he could, Wot see the necessity of Luetgert going oh the witness stand.

It is BASE BALL, Baltimore and Boston Both, Take Their Games The Boston.Brooklyn Game a Most Exciting One. ' Boston 12, Brooklyn 4. 1 Brooklyn, September 29. The Bostons and Brooklyn began a series of three games at Eastern park this afternoon, on which much depends for both teams. Winning all the games will give the Bos tons the championship no matter what Baltimore does. A majority of the games for Brooklyn means a cinch on the only place still left in the first division sixth. The management had arranged to handle a large crowd, but the cranks failed to materialize, and when the game began, only about 3,600 persons were present. It was Kennedy against Lewis and for six innings it was nip and tuck, Lewis hav ing the better of the argument. In the seventh inning Kennedy took a ride in the "air ship" and before he came back to earth the Beaneaters had hit him for one three bagger, four singles and a sac rifice, which brought in four runs. This was more than Captain Griffith could stand, and' so he called on Payne in the eigth inning. He looked like Kennedy to the -Bostons and three more runs was the result, thus clinching the victory. After the third inning, Lewis had the home team completely at his mercy. The support given the youngster bordered on the phenomenal. Duffy took a ball off the left field fence, and was loudly eheered, for Itf was a grand piece of work. Stahl caught. Shoch's foul fly from off the top of the picket fence in the sixth. Long and Lowe seemed to be all the field. The Boston rooters had a section all , to themselves In the grandstand. There were not over seventy-five of them, but what they lacked in numbers they made up in enthusiasm.

Baltimore, September 29- Washington went down before the Champions today in a well played contest. .

London, September 29. There is a ru mor in Canadian circles that the gov ernment, of the United - States have made overtures to the goyerrmient of Denmark with the object of; acquiring Greenland from the latter country. The Evening News gives prominence. to the rumor and says: "Under ordi nary circumstances, even true, the report would excite; little interest, but. coupled with the news- of the hoisting of the Union Jack over Baffin's Land, it becomes , of ' great moment. It ap pears that Baffin's Land was never formally acquired by the English, al though it has been regarded as English fpr half a century. Hudson's strait is destined, to become part, in the future, of a .great grain - parrying route be tweeh Liverpool and Winnepeg, which will-foe' a powerful rival of the Ameri can land routes. .

The fact that the death rate has been small and that the cuances 01 an epidemic have been con stantly growing less have made tha n eral public somewhat careless and there has been lncreasinsr friction between the quarantined people and the . authorities imprisoned inmates of houses have been going over back fences and sneaking out 01 siae aoors -in order not to be con fined, and the result has been that more germs have been scattered ahd rapidly de veiupeu in mese warm days, in no other season have the authorities been tnrvre strict in auarantinlne hrmsea 1 isolating inmates who might be around the sick, and the result has been that every possible effort is beinsr mnrio. h ci elements ox tne community to Eet me ueiu ux is woarq. ine increased nuiuuei ui cases nere nas caused no gen eiai aiarm, Decause the inorease of deaths has not been in- proportion.
