He Believes Oar Cotcrriiufn!; Will Right the Wron I Him. Cleveland, Oct. 14. Charles T. Max well, a colored, medical student in this city, has received a letter from ex-Consul John L. Waller. The letter is dated "Maison Centrale, du Clairvaux, France, Sept. 8." After thanking Mr. Maxwell for expressions of sympathy contained in a letter he had written to the imprisoned man, Mr. Waller says : "It gives me great pleasure to know that I have the sympathy and support of the American people, who are using every hon orable means and endeavor to secure me my liberty. I am a victim of circum stances, and-whethor I shall finally receive justice at th9 hands of the French people or perish in a foreign prison by virtue of a hasty conviction rendered by a court mar tial in the heat of excitement under these circumstances rests with God and the American people, in whose action and righteous judgment I have the most im plicit confidence. , "That it is the desire or intention of the Frepch as a government to do me an in justice I do not for a moment believe. I am also consoled in the knowledge of the fact that the American people, true now as always to their long established creed and numerous precedents touching the protection of American citizens abroad, will not permit an injustice to be inflicted upon one of their citizens by a foreign nation, no matter how humble be that cit izen." WILD SPANISH THREATS. ; - i They Will "Recapture Florida and De mand Millions of Indemnity." Havana, Oct. 14. The excitement and bad feeling of the Spanish against the American government and psople increases- One frequently hears talk like this: "After we put down the Cuban insurrec tion we will invade Florida - with 100,000 men, reconquer it and oblige the Ameri cans to pay us $500,000,000 for allowing fili bustering expeditions to be fitted out against a peaceful and friendly nation like Spain." In case of rioting in this city, which is not considered far off, the Americans would be first attacked. The bull fighting people are fearful in their frenzy. Silence is preserved as regards the latest fighting in Las "Vilas. The people of the interior are afraid to write truthful accounts of the war, as the mails are not respected by the government. Persons to whom such correspondence is addressed are promptly imprisoned and all 'steps are taken to trace the writers.

" Terrific Plunge of an Electric Street Oar at Pittsburg. -'.-. '' THREE KILLED A1TD MANY IN JTJEED Of a Party of Six Who Attempted to Cross tlyj Patapsco River, in Maryland, Four Were Drowned by the Upsetting of Their Boat. Pittsburg, Oct. 14. By an accident last night on the Carnegie branch of the West End Traction road three people were killed and twelve or fourteen people badly injured. The killed are: George Roth man, furnitr "v dealer at Carnegie; Jacob Heisel, glass dealer at Carnegie; Mrs. Elizabeth Bishop, Pittsburg. Injured MicliJiel Folet and wife, Pitts burg, badly cut about head and body, both dangerously hurt; Professor Alexander Phillips, Pittsburg, head and neck cut, serious; O. JV Baldin, YoungsvUle, Pa., skull fractured; Miss Emma Laughlin, Pittsburg, scalp wound and both leg? crushed; Mins Pearl Hoon, Beaver Falls, scalp wound; unknown boy, bruised; Robert "Willey, 10 years, badly bruised; George Waddles, motorman, leg crushed and head cut; Frank Mcluire, conductor, badly bruised; Mrs. Lcetz and 6-year-old son, both badly crushes 1, condition serious. The names of others injured are not known, as they left the scene without being recognized. ( The accident happened to car No. 56 on the lomr hill coining into tiiETvrost end on its way to' Pittsburg Just 'as- the car started down the heavy grade the brake broke, and it was soon beyond th'3 control of the motorman. -The speed became ter rific, and when a sharp curve near the foot of. the hill was reached the' car made a wonderful le;'p, landing trucks uppermost in McCarthy's run, six or eight feet below the track grade. The accident occurred at a lonely spot, and it was quite a while before assistance reached the sufferers, who were wedged tightly in the wreck, which was most com plete. When the conductor saw that the car was beyond control he laid down on the floor and advised the others to follow his example. The killed were found wedged under the roof of the, car, which,had been smashed in upon them. The escape of any of those on the car was miraculous. DROWNED IN PATAPSCO KIVER. Four of a Party of Six Meet a Watery Grave. BALTIMORE, Oct. 14. Four men were drowned yesterday afternoon by the cap sizing of a pleasure boat in the middle branch of the Patapsco river. They were: Harry Stiner, ferryman; Fred Yalkman, bartender; Walliam A. Reynolds, baker, and James Huston, occupation unknown. All the men were residents of this city, and, together with two companions, at tempted to cross the river from Ferry Bar to Meter's Pavillion, in Anne Arundel county. A strong east wind made the water very rough, and when about half way across the boat began to fill. The men became frightened, and in a moment the frail craft went over, leaving the pleasure seekers struggling in the water. A num ber of rowboats went to the rescue, but be fore they reached the capsized boat tne men named had gone down for the last time. Their companions were rescued with difficulty, and taken to their homes. None of the bodies have been recovered. Opponents or a Third Term. "Washington, Oct. 14. The Post prints replies received from over a hundred mem bers of congress to the inquiry as to whether they would favor or oppose a resolution should one be offered in the next house stating that in the opinion of the house" a presidential third term is proper. Such a resolution was presented by Representative William H. Springer, of Illinois, upon Dec. 15, 1875, and adopted. Seventeen congressmen announc for various reasons that they wouldj vote against a resolution similar to the one presented by Mr. Springer. There is a very decided sentiment in favor of a term of six years, with the president ineligible to re-election. Quite a number of con ressmen would, limit a president to a single term of four years. Korea's King a Prisoner. Paris, Oct. 14.- The Herald's, Sepul dis patch reports that the Japanese troops were at the gates of the palace during the butchery incident upon the uprising of the anti-foreigners, headed by Tai Ron Kin, father of the king of Korea.

A new cabinet has been constituted of Japanese elements. The queen's officials have fled. The Jap anese, Soshi, has been arrested for the murder of the queen. Remarkable Gunning: Accident.

S01IE MISLEADI1IG STATEMENTS Corrected by the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Whose Editor Was Close to Gen eral Harrison During the L.atter'a Ad ministration. Cincinnati, Oct. 14. The Commercial Gazette, a strong McKinley paper, edited by Perry S. Heath, who was close to Mr. Harrison during his administration, says in today's issue: A great deal has recently appeared re specting the attitude of President Harri son toward the McKinley tariff at the time of its adoption. It is contended that inthf capacity of president General Harrison op posed the adoption of schedules as high as those in the McKinley bill, and that he entered, a protest against them to those who had the measure in charge. - One prominent Republican newspaper has stated recently that the McKinley tar iff defeated Harrison's re-election and that this fact is the cause of "Harrison's feel ing toward McKinley." Another influen tial Republican newspaper in the west an nounced that during the consideration of the McKinley bill President Harrison summoned its author and Speaker Reed, and possibly other party leaders, ar warned them against the adoption of such' high figures. , . . The Commercial Gazette is in a position to say that all such statements are untrue and, misleading. -Ex-President Hr.r-ison deserves neither censure nor praiso oa 'ac count of the McKinley tariff law. He took no part in drafting or thy consideration of the measure. No feature of the law, so far as those who compiled it are aware, represented his particular views or met with his specific disapproval. Repeatedly President Harrison, when asked by those drafting the bill, what he thought of it, slated that the details should be left to those in charge of the measure; that they were responsible to the people, and were most familiar with : the subjects in hand. He offered no advice. W'netf? e bill went to the White House ;rlor sigilature th& resident did not. so far. I as is known, show any displeasure or offer. "v .1:1 t v. . x, . wuiviom. iKur uiu lie Buusequeuti express displeasure with the law. If the law was ever held responsible for the defeat of 1892, President Harrison should stand blame less. South Carolina Constable Assassinated. Columbia, S. C, Oct. 14. At Green wood, S. C, J. J: Mosely, a liquor con stable, was :-hot in the back of the head yesterday and instantly killed. Mosely had j list seized some liquor' coming in on a late train. He was accompanied by a trial justice's constabJe and had a' warrant.' "While storing the whiskey in the depot a negro seized a jug and ran. Mosely fired two shots at him, and just then was shot dead from behind. Four negroes have been arrested, and are guarded in the guardhouse. It is believed that there was a conspiracy to assassinate the constable, but so far there is no substantial evidence against any one. Famonn Trick Horse Killed In a Wreck. Waterbtjry, Conn., Oct. 14.
