Ida- Wells Barnett made a very clear and able presentation of the case and the President wag much impressed by what she said. After listening to the remarks of different members of the delegation the President said that steps would be taken to stop such outrages lu future If possible.

The full power of the federal government had been and would be used day and night. Time and money weuld not be spared to hunt -down the perpetrators of this horrible crime and bring them to the bar of justice. He denounced the crime of lynching in the most emphatic tones, and told of when he was Governor of Ohio how he had always tried to prevent the commission of such crimes. and referred to one instance where he had saved an offender from an infuriated mob, not, however, without bloodshed and loss of life on the part of the lawless populace. Members of the delegation who talked after the conference were well pleased with the outspoken way in which the President bandied the lynching question, and are confident that he will use the whole law department of the federal government to punish the people who show such contempt for United States officials and mails.

Orders have been given to hurry preparations on the battleships relay, Marseilles, Charles Havre, Numancla, Victoria, and Carthagena, to enable them to join Admiral Cervera's squadron in the evolutions at Carthagena. His fleet already includes the first-class cruiser Maria Theresa, the second-class cruiser Alfonso two third-class cruisers, and the new first-class cruiser Varese, of 7,000 tons, bought from Italy.

Another flying squadron will be formed at Cadiz, with three torpedo vessels built by Spain and two destroyers recently handed over by English firms, and the torpedo boat Dona Maria Molina. whose trial trip was made at Ferrol this week. For the present this second flying squadron and the fleet of Admiral Cervera will remain on the coasts of Spain. Some of the ocean ports of the peninsula have called the attention of the government to the expediency of promptly concerting land and sea and submarine defenses, offering to contribute part of the expense. No marine reserves have yet been called out, as two battalions of marines are returning from Manila.

The crews of the coastguard vessels, depots, and arsenals at Ferrol, Cadiz, and Carthagens, had enough available men for the new war vessels. The Minister of Marine, Admiral Dermei, has repeatedly statedslately that he declines to divulge his preparations. He desires the country to understand only that he intends to meet any emergencies on the purely defensive and pacific line of conduct all along proclaimed by the present government. The papers say nothing of the military preparations. WHERE SPAIN GETS THE MONEY.

London, March 21.The Countess of Warwick formerly Lady Brooke. has given birth to a son. The birth of a son to Lady Warwick, better known in this country as Lady Brooke, after treatment by trained assistants of Di. Schenk, the great Vienna specialist who believes that he has discovered the secret of sex selections will, of course, strengthen the belief of those who already believed in his claim; but equally of course it cannot be entirely convincing. The newcomer might have been a boy anyway.

Of the three children which had formerly come to the House of Warwick two were boys. But the fact remains that Lady Warwick was a patient of Dr. Schenk; that in obedience to his mandate she gave up all of that brilliant life at court which she held so dear, denied herself the pleasures of the hunt, the ballroom. the card table, all exhausting social dissipation. and settled herself down to the strict regime and perfect regularity of life demanded by the treatment of Dr.

Schenk, and that the result was the birth of a son. according to the promise of the distinguished savant. It is the strongest argument yet brought forward by Dr. Schenk and until Ire makes a conspicuous failure it will tend to establish his claim In the minds of medical men. Few women in England have been more talked about than Lady Brooke" Babbling Brooke," they call her In England.

tehe Is one of the high priestesses of that inner circle known as the Marlborough House set," which revels in the smiles of the Prince of Wales. The only time that she suffered a partial eclipse of the royal favor was when her indiscreet tongue gave publicity to the baccarat scandal at Tranby Croft. But the Prince outlived the bad eminence to which she raised him and the outlived his anger. In 1882 a son was born to the Countess. He is now a delicate Eton lad.

and in all probability he will never marry. second and apparently more robust son was born In 1885, but he died in babyhood. The daughter is a strong and healthy girl. The Earl and Countess, viewing the future with alarm, decided they must have another male heir. It would not do to let Warwick Castle pass out of the hands of the Grevilles.

When Dr. Shenk's discovery was first announced they took great interest in it, and at once entered into correspondence with him, the result of which was the pledging of Lady Warwick to obey his most minute directions and the sending by him of two trained assistants to give her treat- ment. Dr. Schenk's assistants had received from their master the fullest directions as to what was to be done. They had beep instructed primarily as to diet, which is the avowed has-4 of the savant method.

The Countess was subjected to the strictest regime. Every ounce of food of which she partook was prescribed and weighed. The system was made even more elaborate for the noblewoman because Dr. Schenk knew the eyes of Europe were upon him. Tests were made of all articles of food prepared for the Countess to determine the exact proportions of the elements contained.

Although the regime was far more strict than had been thought either by the Earl or the Countess, she subjected herself to it with cheerful resignation. At first daily, and afterward almost hourly, bulletins were sent to Dr. Schenk, and replies were received ordering changes here and there as the treatment progressed.

Not the least remarkable feature of the fire was the readiness with which the railroad officers adapted themselves to the situation. Wlth their ticket offices and ordinary means of entrance and exit to and from the trains reduced to ashes, not a single train was delayed a minute in starting, and the only Inconvenience to which passengers were put was that of walking a short distance in the storm and of going through In which the clouds of smoke still hung thickly.

Madrid, March 21.Copyright, 1898, by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The mystery as to the source of the funds which the Spanish government has recently acquired has been ascertained. It turns out that It is the Queen Regent who has placed at the disposal of the Treasury here a sum In ready money of 40,000,000 pesetas or about $8,000,000. True she has received in return Treasury bonds, but these, in view 4) the deplorable financial situation here. are a very risky collateral at the very best. Some time ago a decree was issued authorizing the issue of 200,000,000 pesetas, or 440,000,000, in Treasury bonds.

In consequence, however, of the unpropitious state of the money market here, and the apprehensions of the foreign money markets with regard to Spanish finances. the bonds in question remained unsold, the foreign shipbuilders and manufacturers of war supplies manifesting an invincible objection to accepting them in lieu of cash. It was then the Queen Regent came to the rescue of her adopted country in the patriotic manner Indicated, and thus enabled the government to pay in ready money for Its purchases abroad. It may be remembered that the source of this sudden acquisition of funds by the Treasury was ascribed first to the Rothschilds, then to French financiers, and finally to the Emperor of Austria. The last guess was nearest the truth, font is from the fortune which she enjoys not as the Queen of Spain but as an Austrian Archduchess that she has tendered assistance to this government.

The Queen Regent is very rich in her own right, having inherited a large share of the colossal fortune of her uncle. the old Archduke Albert, Generalissimo of the Austrian army. who. at the time of his death three years ago was justly reputed the most wealthy man In all Europe. Despite all this there is a -decided peace party.

It is led by Moret, the Minister of Colonies, who still implicitly believes autonomy will restore peace in Cuba. He and his followers admit that the 'United has a legitimate Interest In Cuban a right which has been acknowlpedged by numerous concessions to the United States. and they claim that Weyier, De and Robledo are entirely discredited in Spain.
