TELEGRAMS NOT SATISFACTORY
TO SPANIARDS “HELD UP.”
CHANGE CREATES A SENSATION.
Madrid Vtpuh DlasutiMflcd With tho
“Throttling** Procedure and tJnwar*
ranted Action of AuthorttloB*
A dispatch of Monday to the New
York would from Madrid says: In
structions have been given since Fri
day night to tho press censor to stop
all foreign and domestic press tele
grams—and even telephone messages
—containing news unpalatable to the
government. Unauthorized details of
naval and military preparations, of
the movements of war vessels, particu
larly of tho flying squadron, of tho
purchase of vessels of war and stores
abroad are especially interdicted.
Hitherto no stop had been taken to
prevent the Madrid press from pub
lishing frequent abundant informa
tion.
The same press censor will also stop
telegrams sent from Madrid to news
papers in America, England and
Franco when llicy contain news which
is deemed likely to create alarm.
Therefore the people now are at the
mercy of rumors propagated by word
of mouth or the post, which is much
worse.
The Liberal says that on Saturday
several hundred telegraph and tele
phone messages were stopped by the
press censor in Madrid.
The government's uction has caused
a profound sensation, not only in Ma
drid, but throughout the provinces.
Even the ministerial newspaper, Tho
Liberal, sides with the majority of the
press in censuring vigorously a ineas
uro which it says is calculated to in
crease the national anxiety, becauso
most people surmise that the relations
between Spain and the United States
have got into a very critical stage in
deed when a liberal cabinet decides tg
be more rigorous with the press than
was Canovas, and worse than tho reac
tionary cabinets of 1884 and 1885.
1IELIEF BILL PASSES.
Money for 1 hr Maine Sufferers Voted For (
In (ho IIou**o. il’r
house Stoinlay uuanimortsiy
passed the bill for the relief of the sur
vivors and victims of the Maine dis
aster.
Bat before tho bill was fairly before
the house Mr. King, of Utah, secured
the floor and introduced the following
joint resolution recognizing the inde
pendence of Cuba: and house
“Resolved by the senate
of representatives, That the republic
of Cuba having established and main
tained an independent government ca
pable of performing those duties, for
eign and domestic, which appertain to
independent governments, and it ap
pearing that there is no longer any
reasonable prospect of the successful
prosecution of the war by Spain
against said state, it is expedient and
proper and in conformity with the
laws of nations and the practice of
this government iu like cases that the
independent political existence, of said
state be acknowledged by tbe govern
ment of the United States.’’
The Maine relief bill reimburses the
surviving officers and men for the losses
they sustained to an amount not to ex
ceed a year’s seft pay and directs the
payment of a sum equal to a year’s pay
to the legal heirs of those who peri.sh
ed.
NOW THE “NEW ORLEANS.”
Newly Purchased Rrazlllan Battleship
Is Ke-Christened.
Secretary Long issued an order
Monday that the Amazonas, the battle
ship recently purchased from tho Bra
zilian government, shall bear the name
of “New Orleans,” iu honor of the
principal city of Louisiana.
Telegraphic instructions were sent
to the naval officer in command of the
vessel, who will take immediate steps
to carry them into effect.
“New Orleans” was chosen as tho
name of the warship acquired from the
sister republic, of South America for
the reason that Louisiana is one of tho
very few states of tho Union not rep
resented in the navy at this time.
WASHINGTON WELL PROTECTED.
Defenses of The Nut tonal Capital Aro
Practically Complete.
The preparations for the defense of
Washington have been practically
completed, so far as the approaek by
water is concerned.
The battery at Sheridan’s Point, on
the Potomac just above Mount Vernon,
is now completely manned and will
prove a powerful auxiliary to the main
battery at Fort Washington, on the
opposite shore of the river, near the
city. A garrison was established at
Fort Washington sevoral months ago.
It consists of a detachment of the
Fourth artillery barracks under com
mand of Captain Howe.
FRANCE DEEPLY INTERESTED.
She Might Tako a Haml If a Conflict
Should He Precipitated.
The St. James Gazette (London) in
its issue of Monday afternoon, com
menting upon the mobilizing of the
French fleet, suggests it may be con
nected with the Spanish question, and
says: “If trouble between Spain and
the United States should become acute
it would precipitate issues of great
moment for France."

SENATOR GALLINGER TELLS OE
HORRORS SUFFERED IN CUBA.
REPORTS CANNOT BE EXAGGERATED
Tho Deplorable Comlltloti ' fff Starving
lteconcentrncloH Calls Loudly For
Liberal American Charity.
Senator Gallinger, who bus just re
]~ ■ ‘ ‘com Cuba, has given to the
press the following:
There is not a man in the world with
an imagination sufficiently vivid to ex
aggerate tiie condition of the recon
centrados in Cuba. Thero life is a
living death. It is hell on earth.
Clara Barton told me that the mayor
of a coast town of 30,000 inhabitants
not far from Matarizas—I think the
name was Santa Cruz Del Norte—had
called on her for help and told her
that tho inhabitants of this town had
in their hunger and desperation eaten
every cat and dog in the town. This
mayor was a Spanish officer in the em
ploy of Spain. My observations show
that over 400,000 reconcentrados, non
combatants, have starved to death. I
learned from Spanish administration
sources that the number that had died
of hunger since Weyler’s order was
225,000, a figure much too conserva
tive, I think.
The people in Cuba, especially in
Matauzas, Hagna and Havana, are
without the smallest necessities of life.
What is most needed in the way of
food are light foods, soup, oatmeal,
jellies, canned goods, canned meats,
crackers, etc. Clothing is badly need
ed, especially for women and children.
The governor of Matauzas, who is a
Spaniard, told me that Tth-diis town,
which has a normal^opulatioB-of GO
000, 10.000 pecjmj'mtd died from No
vember to February.
The normal death rate in that climeTri
foj’ a town of that size, is 1,000, so we
Have in Matanzas a death rate 10 ti-ues
more than normal. He also stated to
me that the first day he arrived in
Matanzas 15 people had died of star
vat'on in the court yard of his palace.
Think of it; starved to death; the
most horrible death in the world. Of
course the deaths are decreasing and
will continue to decrease until there
aro no more people left, living to die.
The oiilv wny Hit 7 -t]n be saved is by
American charity, and I know of no
better way to end this statement than
by an appeal to the people of this
country to be generous, to stretch out
their arms and give their bounty to
these poor starving mortals whom even
food is in most cases unable to save,
and who are so far starved that only
tho most careful nursing can ever
bring them back to health and save
their lives. .
I am sure that the men, women and
children of this great and glorious
c nutry will not be appealed to in
vain. William E. Gal linger,
United States Senate Chamber.
FOR FAST MAILS.
The House Passes Postofflce Approi»rja
tiori Rill.
A Washington dispatch says: The
house Saturday passed the postoffice
appropriation bill, which has been
under consideration several days.
The main points of attack were the
appropriations of $30,000,000 for rail
way transportation of mails and $171,
000 for special facilities between New
York and New Orleans, and $25,000
for special facilities from Kansas City
to Newton, Kas. Theso items annually
attract more or less of a contest. This
year the appropriation seems to be less
intent,.
All efforts to reduce the appropria
tion for railroad transportaiion signal
ly failed and the vote on the southern
mail subsidy was 77—98 against strik
ing out.

TENTH WEEK OF STRIKE.
Mill Operatives at New Bedford Are Still
Holding Out.
A special from New Bedford, Mass.,
says: The decision of the manufac
turers announced Saturday leaves the
great cotton strike where it W’as before,
and at the beginning of the tenth
week the end can be predicted w r ith no
metre certainty than at the beginning
of the first week.
The sentiment of the more promi
nent unionists as now expressed is in
favor of continuing the fight.
YVilliam Cnnnane, secretary of the
strike fund, reported the total collec
tion for the past week as $1,947,
against $2,345 the week before.

Btu'k, 11 «• I .-it AJmy, Found at Sea Tamed
ISottcun Up.
A special from Sftil Francisco says:
Upon lbe arrival of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company’s steamer Hauls
Rosa from Sou Didgo Tuesday the
news was i eoeived of another horrible
accident, indirectly attributed to the
Alaskan gold excitement, which is be
lieved to haVti cost the lives of forty
passengers and sailors.
Captain Alexander, of the Hftntrt
Rosa, reported that during the early
morning while nine miles off Point
Bonita, at (lie mouth of the Golden
Onto, he sighted a derelict bottom Up.
Hilsjmi The ifou' tug Sea Witch pulin' was,immediately lfiiiK'atfenf and
J <j Ar
found the derelict to be tlio bark Holen
W. Almy, Captain Hogan, which sailed
hence for Copper river points with
twenty-seVen passengers and a crew of
tbivteon on Sunday last. her starboard
Tho bark lay upon
side with her stern low down in tho
water, her deck hamper badly wrecked
and several planks of her hull washed
loose by the seas which broke over
hor.
While there were no signs of boats
among tho wreckage, It is not believed
that tier passengers and crew escaped
by putting off from the vessel in them,
as there has been a very heavy sea for
several days past. Furthermore, no
word has been received from the sur
vivors, if any exist, although the dere
lict was sighted within ten miles of the
shore and fully forty-eight hours had
passed since the wreck occurred.
According to the tug boat men, there
was a pretty stiff breeze when the Al
my sailed out to Golden Gate on Sun
day last, and by noon it was blowing
a gale. She left her under top sail,
and when last seen was standing out
for an effing. There was a heavy sea
running anil it is supposed that some
time during the night she was struck
by a squall and turned bottom up.
The vessel was perfectly seaworthy
when she left on her trip. Sho was of
only 250 tons and was ballasted.
NAVAL AFPROrlUATION BILL.

A Washington dispatch says: The

REPORT SENT TO PRESIDENT.
Lieutenant Commander Mnrix Finally
Leaves Key West for AVasbington.
Lieutenant Commander Marix,judge
advocate of the United States naval
court of inquiry into the loss of the
Maine, left Key West Tuesday after
noon on his way to Washington by the
city of Key West, bound for Miami,
taking with him the report of the court
on the disaster.
All the officers of the Maine now at
Key West, except Paymaster’s Clerk
McCarthy, have received orders to
leave for their homes, there to await
orders, as in the case of other officers
who left last week. This is considered
to be evidence that the court did not
require the corroboration of technical
evidence, as thought a few days ago.
DISASTROUS MINK EXPLOSION.

INSURGENTS RESUME WAR.
They Declined All Offers of Spanish Dele

Adxices from Havana state that it is
now- known positively that the negoti

General Calixto Garcia and other
prominent insurgents, iu which the
radical autonomists made what are
said to be filial offers of practical in
dependence, have proved an absolute
failure.
No particulars have yet been receiv
ed of the meeting, but that the nego
tiations have failed is shown by the
resumption of hostilities.
