SPAIN'S REPLY IS AWAITED Situation on the Cuban Question Not Offi cially Explained. DENIAL OF ONE STORY Minister de Lome Has Made No Threats. Spain Docs Not Propose to Search American Vessels on tlio High Scas--A Despatch from Ilnvnnn Causes Stir in Political Circles nt Madrid--10,000 Soldiers on the Sick List. Washington, Oct. 25 Up to the close of oiilce hours today Spain's re ply on the Cuban question had not reached the president or state depnit ment. It vva-s stated also in otlieti quarters by these in a position to know what had occured at Madrid that the answer bid not been dellveied to Minister Woodford up to today. It has been approved by the cabinet, how ever, and Is to be communicated to Minister Woodford late today or to morrow . A e'enlil was made by an authoi na tive source that Minister Dupuy de Lome had intimated to the btnte de partment that Sialn would lesort to tho fccaich and scizuip of suspected American vessels on the high seas K llllbustetlng expeditions continued to leave this eountiv. The iepoit, It Is believed, grew out of v Islts made by the minister to the state depaitment last Mondny and Thursdn, At thep visits ho culled the attention of th ofl'clals to the clrcumstnnce of the departure of the alleged llllbustei Silver Heels, after the authorities were put in possession of explicit infomia tlon of the plans of the vcsspI. Regret was expiessed by the minister at this occtuance, as It was felt that it would create a bad Impression at Madrid at a time when the govoi nmrat was ma tuiing it3 policy. Beyond this, how ever, tho minister made no lefereneie to retaliation upon American vessels, or as to searches on vhe high seas. It is silel a pre requisite to such action would be an announcement by Spain of the blackade of all the polls of Cuba, and certainly no step alonfc; such i-adlcaal lines has l"n pioposed thus far. The diplomatic procedure la c onuc tlon with Spain's reply to the Wood foid note is that It will bo communi cated to him by the minister of foielgn aftaiis at Madrid. It will not be sent to Minister Dupuy de Lome, as It is distinctly a part of communications be tween Minister Woodfoid and the Mud ild officials, and la not an exchange of notes between the state department and th government of Spain. As Intimations- have been made that the In structions to Minister AVoodfoid would he i. arte- public at Mudild. the state ment was made bv ofllclals heie that iio publication of the Instiuctlons be fote the assembling of congress would be appioved by the United States and without this appioval it would be eon tiaiy to the usage of dlplomae v for the Madrid authorities to make public the coi re spondenc e.

BATES BRINGS SUIT AGAINST THE MORGANS Claims to Ilnvo Been Defrauded Out oi 2,000,0()0 Worth of General Electric Railway Stock. (Now York, Oct. 25. According to rt sum mons flld in the county clerk's olllce to day, Charles Austin Bates claims ho has been dofraudod of $2,000,000 worth of stock of tho General Electric Railway company, of Chicago, and ho names tho members of the firm of J. Pierpont Morgan, &. Co., as defendants In tho suit to recover 't; tho other defendants being Lucius Clark, A. Q. Wheeler and Ferry A. Hull, or Chi cago.

Soon arter purchasing tho stock, Bates says. Defendant Clark, who then held a conslderabls amount of stock In the com pany, camo to him and represented to him (Bates) nnd other stockholders tnat In order to successfully carry out the ob jects for which tho corporation was cre ated, and to securo tho passage of ordi nances allowing tho uso of certain stieels In Chicago, It was necessary to have a contiolllng intere-st In the stock of tho company placed temporarily In the hands of one person. Bates .say he turned over to Clark his 20,000 shales on Clark's promise to return them as soon as tho objects he represented were accomplished, but that he had re peatedly tried In vain to get Clark to re turn tho tock Bates savs he then dlcoveiecl that Clark transferred it to n man named St!non, who In turn transferred it either to ,1. Pierpont Morgan or to J. Pierpont Mor gan & Co., who. Bates savs, now have It in their possession. All the tiansfers, Bates declaics, were pretended and made without considera tion, and ho brings suit to recover tho stock and asks the court tor an Injunction re stialnlng the defendants from disposing of the stock, as he declares thero is dan ger of their selling tho utock to parties who ma) think they obtained tho stook In a bona fklo way Justice Truax In the Supreme court to day granted an older for the publication of the summons nrd complaint on De fendant Hull, who lives in Chicago, tho other defendants having been served here.
