IntpHry Concerning the Killing of
„„ American in Cuba.
Washington. Feb. :s.—ln the Senate to-
Mr. Pettus, Dem., of Alabama,
, red and secured ihe passage of a res
, ion requesting the President, if not
i, .mpatible with the public interest, to
n ortn the Senate what action had been
, . n in reference to the killing of Se
ll i do N. Lopez, a citizen of the United
- teSi On April 11, 1596, in Ihe Santiago
il, | Valla, Maguerrilla, Cuba, by armed
fu.dlers of Spain, commanded by Col. Es
truch.
The resolution introduced yesterday by
>; Harris, Pop., of Kansas, directing
i: attorney general to furnish the Senate
i, ;.imation as to the agreement reached
I. the government with the reorganiza
tion committee of the Union Pacific Rail
nay concerning the Kansas Pacific
branch, was laid before the Senate.
Mr. Chandler. Rep., of New Hamp
shire, said he liad no objection to the res
olution. but did not approve of the pream
ble which included press dispatch.
Mr, Harris replied that he might not in
e-t upon the preamble. The Union Pa
cific, he said, for a long time had attempt
ed to influence Congress and officials of
the administration to scale down the debt
of that company to the government about
6ft per cent. Until a year ago last Jan
uary the company had been unsuccess
ful. At that time they made an arrange
ment with Mr. Cleveland's administration
by which that road was to lie disposed of
v. h a loss to the government of about
$-116,000,000,
Mr. Harris then outlined the reasons
why that arrangement had not been car
ried into effect.^' - Public sentiment was
aroused from Maine to California, the de
mand of the people, being that
tin y should not be swindled out of the
enormous sum mentioned. When this ad
ministration came into power this ques
tion was grappled with and the govern
n nt finally obtained every cent due from
tin I'nion Pacific on the main line.
'We were all very glad,” said Mr. Har
ris, "(hat the government received its
just due, and nobody has more cordially
t,'iigratulated the present administration
than 1 upon the successful negotiation of
that transaction.”
It was also hoped, Mr. Harris said,
that the government would get the full
value of the debt due from the Kansas
Pacific branch. In case the reorganiza
tion committee should decline to pay the
full amount due, about $13,000,000, it was
the understanding that the government
would redeem the first mortgage bonds
and have the road operated by a receiver.
A competent receiver would show the
value of the property, which, Mr. Har
ris believed, was quite $30,000,000. The re
organization committee, said Mr. Harris,
had evidently succeeded in obtaining from
t■Attorney General such concessions as
had been outlined in the Associated Press
dispatches, and the government is to
siand and see the enormous sum of $6,-
TOo.COO of interest sacrificed. The value of
the property, Mr. Harris thought, was an
important consideration. By the reorgan
ization committee and by the Union Pa
cific officials an effort had been made to
minimize the value of the road. "It is
particularly significant,” said Mr. Harris,
"that the statements of the reorganiza
tion committee and the officials of the
Inion Pacific regarding the value of the
main lines have been proved by subse
quent events to be untrue.”
As was said once by the senator from Mis
souri (Mr. Vest), ‘When they speak they
Is ; and when they are silent they steal.’
Mr. Harris then discussed the value of
li" Kansas Pacific road and said that hav
ing been a civil engineer on the line, he
was somewhat of an expert. He said that
<1 iring the eleven years the line had earn
'd an amount equal to 4 per cent, on $30,-
0 ; '.OOO. He further said that the Attorney
to ral had agreed to redeem the first
mortgage bonds and have the road oiier
a''d by a receiver. This arrangement, Mr.
Harris said, was perfectly satisfactory to
those for whom we speak, but the inten
ts n of the Attorney General to let the
iv cl go with a loss of $7,000,000 to the gov
et iment was not only a surprise to him
and others, but absolutely unsatisfactory.
Mr. Harris maintained that the Kansas
Pacific road was worth the last cent of the
government’s claim, and it ought to be de
ni aided by fhe Attorney General.
Mr. Morgan, referring to the effort to
pars a bill in ihe Senate to give power to
the administration to become a bidder
'd the Union Pacific Railway, said he
• bought the Senate ought to take that
in- asure up and pass it. It would be

1 consequences of those robberies with
' a a strain; but the people will not ai
‘”w themselves to be juggled with whnt
' ■ r liolitlcal parties may do,” concluded
Mr. Morgan.
Mr. Poruker of Ohio discussed the sltu
ntion as it had been viewed by the Pres
‘ 1 id. The President had asked Congress
give him authority to enter the sale
' 'he Kansas Pacific as a bidder, but
' fificresa hod taken no action. The final
‘'l'. r made by the re-organization commit
tbe President had evidently regard
i I as reasonably satisfactory.
Senators might differ from the President
to the value of the property, but he
1 4 consulted many well informed persons
' ■ I felt that in receiving the full amount
' the Kansas Pacific debt, he was doing
' • ry well.
Mr. Gear moved that the resolution be
rred to the committee on Pueiflc rall
' 'ads. The motion was defeated by a vote
to 34, and the resolution was then
’pted without division.

of the attorney general on the Harris res

Griggs replied to-day to the Harris reso

Attorney General says: "Answering spe

olutions in the Senate, 1 would say that
I have not authorized any agreement

made was to discontinue the motion for

CALIXTO GARCIA’S DEFEAT.
His Camp Reported Destroyed ly
1,000 Spanish Troops.
Havana, Feb. 15.—Spanish reports suy
Gen. Ario, operating in the Contra Mestre
district with 1,000 Spanish troops during
the last five days, has destroyed the camp
ol the insurgent general Calixto Garcia.
The. insurgents are said to have left fif
teen men killed and to have retired with
additional loss.
The Spanish troops, it is added, had five
men killed and five officers and forty-four
soldiers wounded.
WON’T COMPLIMENT DE LOME.
Spain Hopes la This Way to Avoid
Making a Disavowal.
London, Feb. 16.—The Madrid corre
spondent of the Times says: “In the offi
cial acceptance of Senor Dupuy de Lome's
resignation, the usual complimentary
phrase appreciative of his services will be
omitted. In this manner Spain hopes to
satisfy the United States and to end the
question.”
WOODFORD SENDS NO WORD.
No Official Disavowal of the De Lome
Letter Net Made.
Washington, Feb. 15.—Up to a late hour
to-night the state department had no ad
ditional word from Minister Woodford.
While there had been an impresson all
day that a dispatch might be received
at any hour, the absence of a message
was not looked upon as an indication of
any change in the status of the De Lome
letter incident, which is now considered
practically closed.
As matters stand the only further ac
tion to be expected from Spain is a dis
avowal of the sentiments expressed by
Dupuy de Lome concerning President
McKinley, but this, if made, will come
as a volunteer courtesy. A definite an
nouncement that this has or has not been
made is in the ordinary course of events
the next news expected from Madrid.
DE LOME’S AVORDS DISAVOWED.
Strong Condemnation From a Span
ish Cabinet Minister.
New York, Feb. 15.—1n conversation
with the Madrid correspondent of the
Herald last night, one of the cabinet min
isters said: "You may sa yopenly, as
coming from Senor Sagasta and from each
of us, that we firmly condemn, in the
most absolute manner, Senor De Lome's
letter. We are ashamed, grieved and
sorry thereat. The ministers feel more
aggrieved than President McKinley can
possibly be. We are honest men who
have been placed in a false position by a
fool.”

Galveston, Tex., Feb. 15.—The United

difficulty.

Madrid, Feb. 15.—The government has

DR, WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDI
CINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy
for Dyspepsia. Indigestion and
Stomach Troubles.
Dr. Wurth, in commenting on recent dis
coveries in medicine said: There is none
which is certain to be so valuable and far
reaching in benefits Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets, the new dWrnach remedy; I say
far reaching, because people little realize
how important a sound stomach and vigo
rous digestion is to every man, woman and
child.
Indigestion is the starting paint of con
sumption, itearl disease. Bright's disease,
diabetes, nervous prostration, liver ttou
blis; why is this so'.’ Simply because
every nerve, muscle and tissue in our
tiodies is created and nourished from the
food we eat. If that food is. by reason
ot a weak stomach, compelled to lie for
hours, a sour, fermenting mass of naif
digested food, it poisons the blood and
nervous system, creates gas which ci3-
tends the stomach and bowels, causing
pressure on the heart, lungs and other
organs and seriously impeding their ac-
He says further, the point to direct at
tention is not the nerves, nor heart, nor
lungs nor kidneys, but the stomach, the
first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic, but
a remedy which will digest the food, in
crease the flow of gastric Juice, absorb the
gases, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will accomplish exactly this result in any
case of stomach trouble, because these
tablets are composed of the digestive
acids, aseptic pepsin. Golden Seal and Bis
muth, pleasant to taste, and not being a
patent medicine, can be used by anyone
with perfect safety. I believe Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any form of
indigestion and stomach trouble except
cancer of stomach. ,
Full size package* of Stuart'* Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents.
A book on stomach diseases together with
thousands of testimonials will be sent by
addressing Stuart Cos., Marshall, Mioh.

BUSY WITH THE BANK BILLS.
HOUSE ALSO PAYS ATTENTION TO
THE MERCH ANT MARINE.
Resolution Calling for Ihe Str.tr
ment mill Accounting; of u Notion
al Hunk's Receiver Pigeon-Holed.
Mr. Pnyjie Calls Up the Hill to
Amend the Navigation Laws—Mr.
Terry Attacks the Present Policy
Toward the Merchant Marine.
Washington, Feb. 16.—1n the House to
day Mr. Cooney, Dem., oa Missouri, rising
to a question of privilege, called attention
to the fact that a resolution of inquiry
introduced by him Dec. 14, calling upon
the Secretary of the Treasury for the
statement and accounting of the receiver
of the First National Bank of Sedalia,
Mo., which was referred to the banking
and currency committee, had not been re
ported back. Under the rules a resolution
of inquiry not reported upon within seven
days is privileged.
After' an explanation by 'Mr. Johnson,
Rep., of Indiana, on behalf of the sub
committee of the banking and currency
committee, he said action upon the reso
lution had been delayed by peculiar cir
cumstances, and that he thought the sub
committee would report upon the resolu
tion to-morrow.
Mr. Cooney withdrew a motion he had
entered to discharge the committee.
Mr. Payne, Rep., of New York., chair
man of the committee on merchant ma
rine, called up the Senate bill to amend tbe
navigation laws of the United States. Mr.
Payae explained that the bill had been
prepared by the Treasury Department, and
was designed solely to protect our sea
coast trade along the Pacific coast with
Alaska.
Mr. Terry, Dem., of Arkap3as.
said the bill had a much broader scope
than appeared at first. It related to the
entire coastwise trade of the United
States. He believed lhat this trade be
longed to the United States. Oar ship
ping laws were all antiquated, but there
should be a general revision, not special
laws. Special taws, in his opinion, sim
ply fostered the shipping trust. As long
as American owners were unable to place
the American flag over a foreign built
vessel he was opposed to such bills as the
pending measure.
Mr. Dingley said the pending bill was
designed to carry out the traditional policy
of the government of restricting our coast
wise carrying trade to American vessels.
The bill was passed without division.
The committees were then called.
Mr. T’pdegraff, Rep., of lowa, from the
committee on judiciary, called up a bill to
amend the act of ISS7, relating to the fees
of United States officers so as to correct
some existing abusfs. and it was passed.
Mr. Cox, Dem., of Tennessee, from the
committee on banking and currency, call
ed up a bill to “better control and to pro
mote the safety of national banks.”
The bill provided that no national bank
shall make a loan to the president or any
other officer or employe of the bank until
such officer or employe has submitted the
proposition for the loan In writing to the
directors and it has been approved by a
majority of them, and in no case shall the
loan exceed the amount permitted by law.
The report of the controller, Mr. Cox said,
showed that 90 per cent, of the failures of
national hanks were due to the appropriat
ing or absorption of the bank's funds by
Us officers. A similar bill had twice pass
ed the House, and had once passed the
Henate with an amendment. The bill was
passed.
Constant discussion arose over a com r
mittee amendment striking out the word
"directors." The directors as well as the
officers, were subject to the restrictions
Of the measure in its original form, but
the committee recommended that direc
tors be stricken out.
Mr. Johnson, Itep., of Indiana, Mr.
Cox. Mr. Fitzgerald,. Dem.. of Mas
sachusetts, and others thought the direct
ors of a bank in regard to over-irafts
should be on the same footing with the
officers. Tho word 'Mireetors’.’ was retain
ed in the bill, and it was passed—Gs to 28.
Mr. Ball. Dem., of Texas, from
the committee on rivers and harbors, pre
sented a resolution calling upon the !?ec
retaiy of War for an estimate of the cost
of creating a channel 100 feet wide at the
mouth of Double Bayou, Galveston Bay,
and it was adopter).
A bill presented by the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries was pass-
ed amending the law relating to the li
censing of mates of ocean and river steam
ers.
Mr. Loud, R<p., of California, from the
committee on post offices and post roads,
called up the bill to make it lawful to
transmit through the mails private postal
cards with a one-cent stamp affixed. The
bill was passed.
Mr. Loud then stated that it was very
important that the House should act upon
the bill relating to a revision of the law
relating to second class matter as the
postoffice appropriation bill was being
held up pending the decision of the House
on that measure. He asked that March 1,
and 2 be devoted to its consideration.
Mr. Williams, Dem., of Mississippi* sug
gested that the debate be extended until
May 3. The suggestion was accepted and
the order was entered.
Mr. Loud then called up a bill reported
by his committee requiring prepayment of
postage on all first-class mail matter, but
after a brief debate it was recommitted,
A bill was passed giving the assent' of
the government to a compact between the
United States and the state of Arkansas
asked for by the legislature of the state
so as to permit the apporlionment of the
proceeds of the lands for common school
purposes.
At this point, Mr. Dalzeil, Rep., of Penn
sylvania. asked for a modification of the
order for tho consideration of the bank
ruptcy bill (which begins to-morrow) by
which the final vote should be taken on
Saturday Instead of Monday as originally
ordered, with the understanding that Mon
day should he private bill day. This was
agreed to.
A bill was passed empowering registers
and receivers .of general land offlcea to is
sue subpoenas and compel attendance.
A bill was passed repealing the statute
requiring affirmative proof of loyalty by
the holders of bounty or land warrants.
At 5 o’clock the House adjourned.
DE LOME’S DEPARTURE.
Tin- e.v-Mlnlxtcr Leaves Washington
for New York.
Washington, Feb. 15.—The late Spanish
minister, Dupuy De Lome, accompanied
by his iamily, left Washington this after
noon for New York, whence they will sail
to-morrow for Liverpool. A large delega
tion from the diplomatic corps gave
hearty au revoir at the station to their late
associate.
The entire staff of the Spanish legation,
headed by Senor Dubose, the charge
d’affaires, were present.
Senor Dupuy de Lome passed among his
former associates giving them a warm
farewell, and Mme. de Lome waved her
adieus to the men and embraced the la
dies.
Quite a number of outsiders were at
tracted by the gathering, but further than
that the minister’s departure was en
tirely quiet and unobtrusive.
FILIBUSTERS FROM FEHNAXRIXA.
Dauntless Aliened lo llnve Left Sun
day Night With ST Men.
Kernandlna, Fla., Feb. 15.—A very Im
portant expedition of men. arms anil am
munition sailed from this port Sunday
night for Cuba. The hews has Just be
come known around the cicy, and the cus
tom house officers and the Spanish consul
anil his spies had the wool so completely
pulled over their eyes that they are loth to
believe that an expedition sailed.
Stiii It is a fact, and the tug which took
it was the Dauntless. On Saturday night
thirty-five Cubans left Tampa, came
through and took the north bound train
for Savannah. They, however,’ were put
off at Everett City, where they staid until
Sunday night, when a special train with
the men and three cars of arms and am
munition arrived here about 11 o'clock.
The train, which was all In darkness, was
sidetracked Just In the city limits.
About 11:30 o’clock the tug Dauntless
steamed into the harbor and made fast at
the Florida Central and Peninsular Rail
road docks.
A few minutes 'later the special train
was shoved down and th contents of the
three cars were hurriedly loaded aboard
the Dauntless, and at 1 o’clock Monday
morning the steamer was off on her mis
sion.
Men were posted all around the dock,
and no onp was allowed to go on or off.
Everything was unpacked. The arms and
ammunition was taken out of boxes and
made In shape to be transported by sol
diers without any more work. The boxes
are all that is left to tell the tale. Gen.
Nunez Is the man in charge.
This expedition b* reported as having
'sailed from Sniilln river, but such is not
the case, u sailed from here Sunday
night.
TILLMAN BENT ON TALKING.
SENATOR HAS A HARD TIME IN

tlie Knot nnd Appeal* to the t'lialr
for Protection—Finally Gain* Her-
OKnitlan and Denies That the Ha
waiian l*lninl* Are of Strategic
Importance to the l nlted State*.
Washington, Feb. 15.—The executive
session of the Senate to-day was enlivened
by a vigorous effort of Senator Tillman of
South Carolina, to secure recognition to
make a point against the contention that
the Hawaiian Islands were of strai ?glc
importance to the United States.
Senator Qalllnger occupied the chair, end
yther senators were seeking to make te
ports upon nominations, several coming
in after Mr. Tillman had risen. His voice
was drowned by theirs, and it began to
look as if the Senate might adjourn with
out his being heard. Apparently realizing
the situation, the South Carolina senator
took his position in the middle aisle di
rectly in front of the chair and demanded
to be heard.
“I have stood here on my feet while
eight or ten men have been recognized,"
he said in stentorian tones, "and 1 want
to know if 1 am to be heard.”
"If the senator would speak a little loud
er,” said Senator Hoar facetiously, "he
might be.”
This remark did not apparently fall
agreeably upon Mr. Tillman's ear and he
replied by appealing for protection and
fair treatment. “I have been a member
of this body for three years," he said,
“and I have always tried to deport my
self as a gentleman, and I think I am en
titled to fair treatment."
At this point, Senator Gallinger, who
occupied the chair, rapped for order, lie
then explained that the failure to recog
nize Mr. Tillman was due entirely to an
inadvertence, and to the fact that his at
tention had been directed hi another way.
To this Mr. Tillman replied that this
explanation was entirely satisfactory and
he then proceeded to make his point, which
was that the strategic importance of the
Hawaiian Islands was overrated.
He argued that In case of war between
Japan and the United States, Japan could
hring coal for her warships over on tend
ers and thus render herself entirely in
dependent of the islands.
I)E I.OME NOT DISCUSSED.
Cabinet Meeting nt Washington
Sllinly Attended.
Washington, Feb. 13.—Contrary to ex
pectation the cabinet meeting to-day did
not discuss the De Lome letter in any us
pect. The attendance was small and there
was little busines stransacted.
Secretary Sherman, who is one of the
most regular attendants, was reported lo
be confined lo his home by a cold; Secre
tary Alger Is at Fort Monroe convalescing
from his severe illness; Secretary Bliss Is
in New York, and Secretary Gage is in
Chicago.
While there was no discussion of the re
lations with Spain, the members of the
cabinet, one and all. are officially satisfied
wilh the situation, and expect that advices
that are expected at almost any moment
from Madrid may hring news of the end
ing of the episode in a manner that will be
satisfactory to the United States and
Spain.
FILIBUSTER CASES IN COURT.
Decision In Favor of tlie Three

New Orleans, Feb. 15.—0n motion of
District Attorney Gurley in the United
States Court of Appeals, the proceedings
against the alleged Cuban filibuster
Dauntless were dismissed this morning.
Proceedings will be ccntlnued against the
Dauntless in the Florida circuit.
In the case of the United States versus
the steam vessel Three Friends, the fa

the United States Circuit Court of Appeals
to-day delivered an opinion overruling the
exceptions to.the libel, reversing the de
cree of the district court of the Southern
District of Florida, and commanding that
court now to proceed with the case ac
cording to law. The opinion says that the
serious questions presented on this ap
peal have been disposed of in the decision
of the Supreme Court on another libel
against the same vessel, and ordinarily
there would have been nothing to do in
this case but to reverse and remand.
