C?Two importantchanges in the diplomatic representation in Washington have been announced. The Hon. Michael H. Her bert succeeds Lord Pauncefote as Brit Ish Ambassador and Senor de OJ*>da succeeds the Ouke de Arcos as Spanish Minister. Tbe change in the Spanish Legation here came as a surprise to all but in ] timate friends of the Duke de Areos. It is understood that the change is at- { trihuted entirely to the retiring Min Ister's desire to secure the best imjssI- I hie treatment for his impaired vision, which has caused him much and grow-, ing concern. Therefore he has secured a transfer to the Spanish Legation at Brussels. There he will be as near as practicable to an eye specialist who I already has undertaken his rrcatuieut j at inconvenient intervals.

Died. \ San Joan. Porto Rico.?The four mar- \ derers, Bom a bo Acevedo. Jose Torre* Ramon Cadeno and Juan Torres, who were convicted of murder, robbery arid outrage committed four years ago in a suburb of Adjuntas. bare been garroted in the Ponce Jail. Only about i thirty official witnesses were present. A convict murderer acted as executioner, as no other person could be obtained to perform the duty. At the parroting of murderers last year this same convict acted as executioner, for wblcb service his term of Imprisonment waa commuted. He will now be set at liberty. and will receive $100 for his work. The trarrotinff of these murderers bad h??.n mat fnr Mnv .11. nn<l wnfl to have been carried out st-cretly. It bad to be postponed on account of the tremendous sentiment against capital punishment. No workman could be found who would build the platform, and no one would sell nails or timber to be used in Its construction. It was finally constructed by soldiers. The four condemned m^n occupied the corners of the rude platform. They were brought out separately and screens were arranged so that none of the murderers saw the garroting of th? others. In each ease death was practically Instantaneous. The men were pronounced dead as soon as the doctors examined them. Notwithstanding the fact that all the m-en admitted their guilt of a terrible bandit murder and assault on women. In the last moments prominent citizens appealed to the Governor and Supreme Court to suspend sentence. From 8 o'clock until 11 the court listened to argument* as to the unconstitutionality of punishing criminals without Indict*, ment by the Grand Jury. The point was finally overruled. Originally five men were convicted of these crimes. The Governor, however, commuted the sentence of one to Imprisonment for life. The men were first convicted In June. 1900. and the case was fought through all the courts. Then tbt? press of Porto Rico started a campaign to have the Governor pardon the men. He re f erred the cases to the Attorney-General. who affirmed the convictions. SICO.OOO FLOOD AT JOUET. rbfw LIth Leit and 100 PualllM Dm* titnte?Cloudburst Ciucd It. Joliet. III.?One hundred families destitute. three live* lost, property damaged aggregating close to $100,000 and almost complete suspension of business are the more important results of the flood which swept over Joliet. washing out miles of railroad track, inundating the principal street* of the city, and wrecking the homes of scores of millmen who resided in the lowlands in the south end of the town* i The flood was caused by a cloudburst which precipitated over four inches of rainfall wirhin two hours, caus- , ing Hickory Creek and Spring Creek to overflow their banks.
