WANT TORFCOGNIZE CUBA
Bailey cf Texas. Took The Leah.
Resolutions,
Washington, Dae. 14.-The
Caucus of democratic members of
the house of representatives last
i ight resuited in the sddoption
of resolutions defining the party
policy on the questions of Cuba,
finance and bankruptcy. Out ol
125democratit members 101 were
present despite the stormy
weather. Representative Richard
son, of Tennessee, was in the
chair.
Representative Bailey, of Texas
took the initiative by presenting
the following series of resolutions.
“Resolved that it is the e sense
of this caucus that the democratic
nu mbers of the house of Repre
sent fives ought to resist all efforts
direct or indirect to retire the
greenbacks and tn usury notes.
Resolved, secend, That we are
opposed to and will resist all at
tempts to extend the priveleges of
national backs, or to reduce the
taxes which they now pay.
Resolved, third, that we favor
the early consideration and pass
ing of the senate resolution recog
nizing that a condition of war ex
ists in the island of Cuba between
the government of Spain and the
Cuban people.
“Resolved fourth, that we favor
the early enactment of ? just
and wise bankruptcy law.
The first three features of the
resolution*', on finance and Cuba
were considered separately, the
discussi.iii being vigorously and
unanimously favorable. Mr. Bai
ley made the main speech, urging
that the democratic members
should take tbuir positioners
promptly against those financial
movements n >w assuming formi
dable ditnenei ns owing to the rec
•nnendutions given to them by
the preidesen |and secretary of the
tre i«ury.
He also spoke for a clear-cut
position in favor the recognition
of Cuban beligereicy, as embodied
in the Morgan resolution which
passed the senate during the extra
gepgion. There was not a dissent
ing v-'ice to Mr Bailey s proposi
tions and the first three resolution
were carried by ur.amnions vote
the result being reciiVed with
hearty cheers.
The fourth sea ture of the reso
lutions declaring fora just and
wise bankruptcy law met with
some opposition but finally pre
vailed by a large majority.
On motiom of Mr Maddox of
Georgia arrangements were made
for the usual congressional com
mittee to conduct the congression
al campaign of 1898. The com
mittee is to consist of one mem
ber from each state, territory and
District of Columbia, and nine
senators to be chosen by the sen
ate democratic caucus.
The caucus adjourned a |9 o'clock
having been in session just an
hour, and having accomplished
its results with practical unanim

AN AGED WOMAN BRAINED
AND ROB ED
THE WORK OF A FIEND
Perpetrated in the City of .
Bile.
Mobile, Ata,, Dec. lb.--This
morning a little girl going to the
store of Mr?. Margaret Hogan,
corner jj Clay and Congress streets
to make a small purchase, found
the store open and the lamps burn
ing, but no one attending.
Going into tl e rear room, she
discovered Mrs. Hogan lying on
tne floor dead, with her hands tied
behind her back and a piece of
braid wrapped tightly around her
throat.
Giving the alaim, an investiga
tion followed which showed that
the place had been rebbed of mon
ey and some of the goods.
The robbers had probably forced
'tie woman, who was sixty-five
years cf age, to give up her small
hoard which she kept in her room
back of the store. Then they ttran.
gled her with the braid, but find
ing her slow in dytug, brained her
with some blunt instrument.
From the facts that the lamps
were still burning and the woman
fully dressed, it is thought that
th? murder occurred some time
last night, perhaps at an early
i Lour in the evening. No noise
wa« heard at any time and there is
i no clew to the identity of the mur
-1 derers.

BLUE FOR CUBA
PANDO PUSHING GOMEZ. IN
BURGENTFORCES ROUTED.
SANGUILLY HAS YIfLDED
The Insurgeant Leader Offers
His Services To The Spanish.
Havana, Dec. 15—The Spanish
forces under the command of
General Pando, in the province of
Puerto Prancipe, have been push
ing the insurgent leader General
Maximo «omez so closely that hr
was obliged with about 200 men of
his escort to seek refuge in the
woods and mountains of Lai
Delicias.
During the recentengagemeut at
Caiman, on the south coast the in
suiizeant leader Collazo was wound
vd. Today ten armed insurgents
surrendered there.
During a skirmish on the Rivei
Seco, near Guineas this province,
the wellknown insurgeant leader
Pitirre was killed, together with a
lieutenant and two privates. The
insurgent Colonel Antonio Lopez
Perez surrendered several days ago
in the province of Santa Clara.
It is announced semi-officiallj
that General Sanguilly, the insur
gent leader, has written to Mar
shal Blanco, offering him his ser
vices unconditionally.
Advices from Madrid indicate
that Deputy Amblard will be en
trusted with the task of making
efforts with the Cuban Junta when
he r a aches New York. He is said
to have the Spanish Ministers that
lie counted upon the adherence of
General Saguilly to the new order
of things, and if it is true that the
latter has offered his service to the
Captain General the influence of
Amblar at Madrid will be greatly
increased . lie is said to have al
ready received considerable sums
of money to meet his expenses
and, it is further stated, ihe Re
formists and Autonomist hero will
not definitely complete their union
until his returned to Havana.
The Autonom.c Cabin* t for
Cuba will not be formed until the
Reformist and Autonomists unite
in one party and it is said that
Amblard on his arrival in New
York will offer to Manuel Rafael
Angulo a member of the Cuban
Revolutionary Junta a portfolio
in the new Autonomis Cabinet io
order to induce him to return to
Cuba.
The commissioners sent by Gen
eral Pando t'> different parts of
the island with instrections to ne
gotiate with the insurgents for
ihoir acceptance of the autono
mous fonn of g ven.ment pro
posed by Spain have not returned
m a single case.
Gineral Arolas, according to a
dispatch from Manzanillo prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba, has
accidentally wounded himself
wi h a revolver but his condition
is not serious.
Some of the richest Spaniard s
of Cuba have he'd futher meet
ings here at Cienfnegos and Sagua
to consider the advisability of
sending a p 'tition to Pn sisent
McKinley asking for the estab
lishment cf a United Sta'es Pro
tectorate over Cuba if within six
months the Spanish Governm int’s
plans for the pacification of the
island give no results.
New York Dec. 13. —At the Cu
ban Junta headquarters and from
other sources here it was learned
that Sanguilly's loyalty to the
Cuban cause had been under sus
picion for some time and that
hie reported action in offering his
services to General Blanco wus.by
no means a surprise.
Delegate Thornes Estrada Palma
however said that he could hardly
believe that Sanguilly had capitu
lated but that he did not attach
much importance,to the report
even if true.
General Sanguilly was in New
York until about a week ago.
