SPAIN COMES UP TO THE RACK.
The Mora Claim Paid at Noon

Washington, Sept. 14.?Senor do
Lome, too Spanish minister, at noon to
day delivered to Mr. Adee,Acting' Secre?
tary of State, a draft for the equivalent
of 81,449,000 drawn on the Spanish
financial agont in London In settlement
of tho Mora claim.
Thero was no corennny about tho
prosoodlnga at the Slate Department
to-day. They marked tho close of an
international question that ha* dnggod
alomj f jr twonoy~six year*, giving rise
to !!? ry dcbin.a in the SpiniHh courts
and protracted couimHi'?? inquires In
both t rancids of our own Congrem.
Tho Spanish minister cine t) tte
State D >partment alone, aud his inter?
view with Acting S crotary lasted only
about ton minutes. Tho method of col?
lecting the drvft hai not been deter?
mined yet, and Mr. A inn will awiit ln
ssructlons from SoaroUry Olney. Hav?
ing bottled the lntt<rnatlonal feature of
the rase tho State Department is now
lik< ly to encounter nome dilliculty at
homo in disbursing tho money. Much
litigation is ihr. atened by the taking
out of an injunction by one of the as
B'.gnt cs yesterday ;o restrain the State
Department from paying over all of tho
money to tbe eouip alnant, Mora.
During the years of pendency of this
groat claim Mr. Mora has bei n obliged
to make assignments of part6 of it, tho
larger items being on uccountot legal
expenses. Somn of these as-ignmcntH
have been recorded in the State De?
partment, but their number and aggr< -
gate amount cannot bo learned at pres?
ent. Of these the Department must
take notico in settling tho claim, and
it is possible others are outstanding of
which tbe Department has not? been in?
formed. To insure a proper distribu?
tion tho Department, will givo ofllcial
notico by the usual channels so that
proper claims may bo presented, and
this will necc&Bitlly consume somj

explanation of bis position in rogard to
the cup races. H. Maltland Kersey said
this morning that he and Lord Dunraven
workod from yesterday morning till late

TIIK FINANCIAL SITUATION,
The Excitement of Friday Succeeded by
a Calm.
New York, Sepi. 14?Yesterday's os
cltement over tho financial situation
engendered by tbo impression that the
bond syndicate had withdrawn its pro?
tection of the Government gold resorvo
was succeeded by a calm to-day. Thore
were no developments and consequently
i tbe feeling tended toward reassurance.
When bankers' hour closed at noon
there had been no deposits in tho sub
treasury, and there bad been no with?
drawals for sbipatent, as no steamers
sail on Sunday. It was reported that
the National City Rank bad given the
syndioato 81.000,000 la gold in -vchsnve
for greenbacks.
Representatives of Plttsburtf and
Rochester banks have mrxb in if. r to
deposit 81,000,000 in goid in 'be sub*
treasury here to help ket p the gold
reserve intact, the offer being *ccem
panied by tho proviso that the G >vern
ment pay tbe express charges on the !
gold. The Treasury's offt>r to ship cur?
rency taken in exchange for gold ?<
Government ratos would, it is ?b;:w
pated, result in deposits of gold next
week. There is absolutely no confirma?
tion to bo had in tbe best informed
circles of the rumors of an impending
bond issue._

Another Man Who Maw Another Man Who
Says Something.
Sax Francisco, Sept. 14 ?A fow
months ago Captain of Detectives LeeB
said that if a witness could be found
who would supply the necessary proof
that any or all of Rlanche Lamont's
rings were in the possession of Theo?
dore Durant before they were returned
to Mrs. Noble in so mysterious a man?
ner, the last and strongest link in the
chain of evidence against the young
medical student would have been
forged.
This witness has been found, lie is a
business man, a man of unquestionable
integrity, and he comes forward with
bis statement at this late day because
ho felt it to bo bis duty to make known
the facts within his knowledge beforn it
is too late for them to have every one
in the trial know the progress. As far
as hia knowledgo goes, he Is poBltivo as
to his facts.
This witness, who has come to the
front so opportunely, and will provo
such an important factor for the pre?
sentation o? the c*so for the pooplo, is
W. J. Pnillips. His testimony will be
corroborativo of that of Adolph Oppen?
belm, tho nawn-broker, who testified at
the preliminary hearing that Durant
entered hit* place of business a few days
after tho murder of Blanche Lamonc
and tried to pawn one of hor rings
Phillips says ho was near tho pawn
shop at the time and saw Durant when
he entered the place.
THE KKCfcNT OUTFLOW OF GOLD.
AH Approhension Hubnlileil auil the Re?
turn to Normal Condition* Looked For.
Washington, Sept. 14 ?The feeling
of apprehension that resulted from yes?
terday's hoavy withdrawals of gold for
export has almost entirely disappeared
from tho Treasury Department this
morning, but it has given placo to one
of anxiety for tho future None of the
higher otlicials now in Washington, so
far as can be learned, is in Mr. Carlisle's
contldoncn to tho extent of knowing his
views of the situation or his purposes
for tho future, and honco no one is able
to speak with any degree of certainty as
to what would bo done in the event of
continued heavy withdrawals of gold.
Tho concensus of opinion, however,
is that there will bn no is.nie of bonds
in tho rear future in any event, and
and that an Issue before Congress has
htd an opportunity to act is extremely
improbable. Nor is it thought that the
urgency f'?r an Issue before that time
will bo extroojo. 11 is argued that the
i-urir.kage iu the shipments of cotton Is
very unusual '.ml far below that of any
recent year; that grain shipments surely
must soon begin and improve at stiff?
ened rates. A turn of thn tide, thero
fore. Is expected. The fact, too, that
the United S-ates has since January 1,
18114, exported mor-3 than S120,000,()03
in gold In excess of her imports, it lb
claimed, is a strong argument in favor
of a speedy return to normal conditions.

OllNING, SEPTEMBER
THE MAGICIANS' FAREWELL.

to a Close.
Lynchburg Taken Into Oitmp Twice?The

Made Hits When They Were Needed.
Tbe baseball season of 1805, aa tar as
the Virginia State league is oonoerned,
is but a memory, and to the Roanoke
lovers of tho game anything but a pleas?
ant one. It passed into history yester?
day in tho same manner as it had
opened, with a victory for tho Magi,
clans. The Tobacconists were our op?
ponents then as on yesterday and tho
only difference was that the season
clo::e:l with a double victory. The
opening and the ending were auspicious
and brilliant, but alas the intervening
time was just tho reverse. But we will
hope for better luck next season.
Tbe d ub'.e attraction of two games
for one prica and tbe close of the season
attracted a large crowd to Athlotic Park
yesti rday afternoon. Both giunns wore
easy victories f ?r Roanoke; In fact, the
home team played all'round tho visitors.
Id the first game Smith mado a numbtr
of brilliant catches In center Sold, but
In tho secu-id none of the Hill Climbers
did anyttiinrr tosptak c^.
Wi iiarcs and Fry both pltchod excel?
lent gam-s and managed to keep tbe
bits inude off them well scattered.
Willis pitched the first game for Lvnch
burg and .vis touohed up pretty lively.
Kagey started in to do tho twirling in
the second, but bad great d'fliculty in
locating the plate and was succeeded by
Mason in the f urth Inning, Ho was
just what Roanoke wan looking for and

Baseball Notes.
There is much speculation as to whore
Padden will play next season and va?
rious rumors bave bcon floating around
regarding hl? movements. Captain D.ck
Informed a Times reporter last night
that ho would probably play with tho
15, 1895. n
Philadelphia National league team He
has not rondo up his mind in regard ?o
this, howevo-, and be may yet deoldo to
wear a Raanoke uniform for another
season.
The Union Sisr baseball team de?
feated tho Croz^r furnaoo team yester?
day afternoon on the latter's ground by
the score of 19 to 2. The Stars would
like to hoar from all amateur teams in
tho city, the N & Ws preferred.
A majority of the Roanoke team will
leave for their homes this afternoon.
Sherer and Lloyd will probably spend

Minister de Lome Shj-h it Will he Surely
Crushed.
washington, Sept. 14 ?Sonor Dupuy
do homo, Spanish minister to the
Unitod .States, to-day exprossed tho
opluiun that tho rebellion in Cuba in
but*, to bo crushed. It is Impossible, ho
added, to say just when, because of the
conditions that, exist in the island. The
minuter characterizes the methods
employed by the rebellion as guerlalla
warfaro and declares that It will be im?
possible to havo a serious battle under
sue'., conditions. a great deal of misin?
formation, ho eala, baa baen sent out by
tho re bo's.
"It is easy to account for tho methods
now employed by the Spmish govern?
ment," said the minister. "The climatic
conditions of Cuba are very peculiar.
July, AuguBt and September are the
three groat generals lor the rebels.
These months include the rainy season
in Cuba and tho most unhealthy for the
Spanish troops. It is impossible to oarry
on successful warfare amidst piurlng
rains. Rut the Spanish government has
been preparing for an active campaign.
"The sec ;nd corps of 25.000 men have
boen landed In Cuba. It is probable that
active movements will not begin, how?
ever, until tbo first of October or somo
tlrao during that month, according to
tho conditions of tho weather, it is
sometimes asked why troops are now
landed in Culm when they aro not to be
called into active service for some time.
Tho answer Is plain.
From tho 20th of Soptombor until the
20th of November is tho cyclone season
In the West Indies, and thorn is great
ditlloulty In transporting troopB, as well
as great danger of loss of life. Before
tho 20th of September all the troops

Repressive Measures Against Socialist*'
I Copyrighted, 1D3, by the A. P.]
BBKLIN, Sept. 14?According to
military expels, the army manoeuvres
in the vicinity of Stettin this week have
been a groat success and have demon?
strated amply the excellent discipline
of tho aon, who, it is represented, are
shown to be ready for the initiative of
thoir oorrmanders. It has also been
shown, according to tbe same authori?
ties, that tho days of usefulness of
cavalry ar? by no- means past as bad
been asserted In some quarters. Both
German and foteign exports are loud in
their praises of the skill displayed by
Emperor William in handling the
troops in Thursday's action. A new
system ot fl -ld telegraphy which was
introduced In this engagement proved
most satisfactory.
Perhaps the only thing in connection
with tho army manoeuvres which has
left any ill-feeling is tbe fact that the
count o' Turin, second son <. f King Hum?
bert; of Italy, was treated with decided
coolness at Stettin. It Is alleged that
Emperor William was greatly annoyed
that tho count, instead of Crjwn Prince
Victor was delegated to represent Italy
among the royal guests at '.he mameu
vres. It Is understood that King Hum?
bert did not sand the orown-prince to
Germany for fear that by so doing he
would give offence to Kranze.
Since the emperor's denur.c'atlon of
socialists the sei.-.are of socialistic
papers and the arrest ot their editors
have been incidents of almost dally oo-<
currence. Among the papers subj-ectod
to this treatment are tho Magdeburg
Volkstimme, the Breslau Volles Wacht.
Hanover Volks Wille, tho Kieen Ar?
beiter Zeitung and the Kiel Volks Zel?
tung, whiles izures of presses at Lolp
sic, Furth, Nuremborg and Munich
provo that tho Sax on and Bavarian
povernmeuts are prepared to join in tbe
anti-socialistic campaign. Tho Vos?
sische Zeitung, of this city, warns tho
government against ill-auvised attacks
upon tho liberty of tho press.
Tho ministers are all taking their
holidays, and it is impossible thai any
decided ami socialist measure will bo
adopted at once. I isknown, however,
that C unit Von Pulonburg, who is
credited with having groat influence
with Emperor William, has been
strongly advising his soveroign toward
moro vigorous repressive enactments.
A Hamburg newspaper declares that
tbe imperial chancellor. Prince Hohen?
lohe, will resign his office if tho em?
peror should insist upon the introduc?
tion of any such moasure.
A caterpillar plague is destroying all
tbe groen crops In the vicinity of Berlin
and in Silesia. Tho tlrst Berlin elec?
tric street car railway was opened for
business on Tuesday last. A swindler
named Bra z has been arrested In Ham?
burg for obtaining goods under false
pretenses. He represontea himself as
an agent of Mr. W. EC Vandorbllt.
Julia Bulkley, of tho University of
Chicago, has obtained tho degreo of
