Questions are being put and answers are forthcoming, but it is said that the negotiations are in such shape that it would be extremely injudicious and indiscreet to make each phase public if there really existed a desire to reach a satisfactory settlement. It is explained at the state department that the part of the United States government just now is that of good friend to all parties; that protoIt is not undertaking to draw-u- p cols or impose limitations upon the parties, but is confining its efforts to getting themjtogethor and keeping them so.

Mr. Jay, on returning home Friday afternoon, heard Wiedeman abusing or fighting his (Wiedemans) wife. He went to the cabin and ordered the negro to be quiet. Immediately afterward Mrs. Jay heard the report of a gun and saw the two negroes running away. Calling for her husband, she received no reply, and, on looking around the yard, found him dead in a pool of blood. The warning was quickly given and parties were soon scouring the country in pursuit of the negroes. They Were captured, and before the coroners jury, both acknowledged the said the deed. .

The meeting was not so long as the sessions usually are. No intimation is given of the conditions which may have been imposed by the European powers or by President Castro precedent to arbitration. It is known that Great Britain was willing to submit the subject to the arbitration of President Roosevelt practically without conditions, but the suggestion is made that one, and perhaps two, of the other powers involved proposed ' ijome conditions which might have proved embarrassing .to the president had he undertaken the responsibility of determining the question.

BEAUTIFUL By an explosion of gas or gasoline b the cellar of the Turf Exchange, a 5lub house and pool room In Hot Springs, Ark., the building was badly Wrecked, two people were killed and thirty Injured, sixteen of whom are in serious condition. When the explosion occurred, about 4 oclock in the afternoon, the pool room was crowded with more than 100 people. Just as a race at New Orleans was being called by the operator, the Boor of the building seemed to rise and in an instant a report that shook the entire building rang out The upper floor and the hack walls of the building fell on the mass of struggling tnen, who were wildlv scrambling to escape to the street. The entire house looked as if a tornado had plowed through its center. The, front glass Windows were broken and both sides Df the structure were shattered by the concussion. The exact cause of the explosion has not yet been determined. It is said by some that gas which had escaped in the cellar of the building Was ignited in some manner, causing the terrible accident. Another report. Which is probably correct, says a driver of a gasoline wagon was filling a tank in the cellar when the explosion occurred. The police have made a full investigation, and have held Ben Murray, who is alleged to be responsible for the disaster In carelessly handling the hfgh combustible. The-- bank roll of the pool room, consisting of $55,-00was) blown away in the explosion, but the greater part of it has been re--' . covered. TOaa e . - SAD PLIGHT OF SARTS.
