« oanty Prisoner
Sheriff Overton, of Greer county,
was in the city today to get a requlai-
tiou on the governor of Texas for a
man named Thomas, wanted in Greer
county for murder. About three years
ago Thomas killed a man in Greer
county in cold blood, was captured
aud taken to Mangum lo jail. The
county was greatly excited over the
murder and threats of lynching were
made frequently. Thomas was taken
to Texas for safe keepiug, where he is
now confined. When Ins case come
up for trial the Texas officers refused
to give the prisoner up, claiming that
Greer county was then under jurisdic-
of that state. Hills, however, for

Washington, July 18.—"There are
no negotiations of any sort pending
between the United States and Spain
in regard to Cuba," said a member of
the president's otticial family yester-
day. "and nothing will be attempted
until the arrival of Minister Woodford
at Madrid. It is expected that Mr.
Woodford will sail for his post the lat-
ter part of this month, and meanwhile
all diplomatic negotiations are to be
held in abeyance. When the Span-
ish authorities at the court of
Madrid come in contact with
the new American minister they
will tind him not only thoroughly
posted in regard to the pending con-
troversy, but fortified with all the
that the administration can
possibly grant him. Not a point has
been overlooked and the president,
Secretary Sherman and Judge Day
have, in turn, communicated their
ideas and made suggestions to Minis-
ter Woodford as to the attitude of this
ountry toward Spain. It is to be an
American policy throughout, and
bluffs made by the Spaniard:
promptly called."
There Is absolutely nothing known
at the state department up to this time
in regard to any combination between
Japan and Spain directed against the
United States. There is a possibility
however, that the alliance which has
been referred to in recent dispatches
from abroad is merely an effort to per-
petuate the combination between Eu-
ropean nations and Japan. If there is
anything at all in the current story re-
garding a Japanese-Spanish alliance it
is merely a piece of coquettlshnesa on
the part of Japan, with a view to
eventually getting control of the Phil-
ippine islands. These islands
have been regarded with envious
eyes by Japan for many
and any movement toward an amicable
understanding between Japan and
Spain must be taken with considerable
grains of allowance. It is more than
likely that Spain will even go to the
xtreme limit in receiving the Japanei
nvoy who has been sent to Madrid,
but nothing will come out of this meet-
ing that will be at all dangerous to the
peace andcomfortof the I nited States.
Japan has no idea of antagonizing the
United States in regard to Hawaii, aud
bluffs made in that direction should
! regarded at their true value.

b.OOO tons of coal in southeast Kansas
a few days ago. It has no lines of its
own in that territory and had been
purchasing its coal in Illinois, where
the strike has been on for two weeks.

afraid to haul it lest there should be a
strike of railroad employes
