Various reports i-hunglng thai time
have gone through Auburn today and
tonight. One rumor places the time at

The firm purpose of Superintendent

to him:
"Will Avoid Sensationalism.
"Doctor, I have planned lo make this
tX'cutlon an example of mystery that
will forestall any a 1 1. nipt at sensa

Dr. .MuUonuliI i.pllul: "I would like

Madrid, Oct. 27,--Dlt ring- yeslei day's
silting of the Spanish chamber of depu
ties, which proved sensational, Seller
Piomero ltobb-do cleverly led Ihe min
ister of war, Oeneral Weyler, to define
ills altitude ami Intentions, (leueral
Weyler declined that while Ihe war In
Cuba lasted his views xvere totally dis
tinct fioin those of the Liberal party,
but that when the war was at an end
the motive for separation disappeared
and he saw nothing; to prevent him attaching-
himself to a Liberal govern
ment. "I have always faithfully ob
served discipline," he eoiilluurd, "ami
he who talks of ilii-latorslilp Is the en
emy of discipline. Our leeenl imilieon
vers have proved that good feeling ex
Ists between the people and the army.
As for dictatorship, no one thinks of
such a thing-. Dictators ate Ihe off
spring of clrt-iimslances.
"For myself. 1 may say tills, 1 have
never thought of being- one, nor do I
now. Xux'erlheless, if my aid were
asked at a moment of gravity. I do ntiL
know how I should decide between my
political anil military duties: but I
should always incline towaid the lat
ter." J.oml and pinlongetl uproar Inter
rupted the minister of war. and sev
eral of bis ministerial colleagues xveie
unable to restrain expiessions of sur
prise at his words.
"I am a politician and a Liberal." he
resumed, "but before all. I am a sol
dier; and, if II should become neces
sary. I will defend out- institutions- and
parliament."
Senor lioniPto rejoined: "I lake note
of Ihe declarations of the minister of
war on the subject of a tliclalnrshlp."

X'ietorla, II, t, Oct. 'JT. -The steainei?
Olvmnla. svhleb irached port today
t r oui the Orient, bring advices of tin
return of the (Jlilmve court toward
i eliin. The court left lisimi-l'u on
Oil. it. The emperor set out In tlm
foienoon audi was followed In the. af
ternoon by the empress dowager, the
prince Imperial mid the ministers of
stat-. The Imperial parly is traveling:
iu meat stale and large sums of mon
ey are being spent. The- journey is
b"!iig- muflt to appear more like il tri
umphal re-entry into the capital than
otherwise, and edicts are distributed
to lead the Chinese lo believe that In
stead of being t oniiuerors the Allien
have been eoiutured ami are being
driven from the middle kingdom.
Coincident -with the return of tho
court arrangements are being- made by
Ihe empress dowager and the leactlou-mies-
among- her advisers to ascertain
China's war fooling-, for ssbat reason
reniuliis to be seen. A Nankin dis
patih, which Ihe Xorlh China Daily
.News publishes on svhat II calls good
authority, says thai seeiet orders Avero
recently received by the military au
thorities of tht." city fiom the grand
council through the board of xvar. In
which the military authorities in all
the provinces of the empire are com
manded to send to the court -with all
speed a detailed report of the exact
number of battalions under them, the
troops belonging' to each, the number
of modern firearms of the latest pat
terns, Held and siege artillery, guns
of position, ipiick firing or otherwise,
and machine guns attached to each
corps available tor tailing the field nt.
ten or, at the most, fifteen days' notice.
Detailed li.sts are called for from the
coiumissioners iu charge of ordnance
liliiemis of the provinces concerned,
itiitiniaiulliuf them to give- "the true
and exact" numb.'r of guns mid am
mimlllou. modern or otherwise, at
present held in reserve iu tile ord
nanc go-downs.
"Truth, and nothing- but the truth,"
Is lids time slrlclly retillred in the re
ports asked for. "for upon the accur
acy of such report will depend success
win-it- the least mistake may mean the
iiiln of a grand enterprise."
Wli.n lids eulerprlse" Is must lie
left to conjecture. In obedience lo
these instructions from the court thero
has been considerable activity among
military authorilies. although tho
work Is being' done secretly. Late ac
counts from various souiveri, says the;
Shanghai paper, tell of discoveries of
delicits of huge Humilities of arms and
ammunition, especially tin latter, In
the ordnance jjii downs, and a strict
luvesligatloti will be made.
