Contradictory Reports Regarding Conflicts in Cuba. Two hundred refugees arrived at Tampa, Fla., from Cuba Sunday night. They say no passports will be issued to Spanish sub- Jects after Gen. Weyler arrives. Maceo has broken through the Spanish cordon and is in Havana province, eluding Gen. Marin In Vuelta Abajo. An American planter is on his way to New York to see his associate regarding the paying to the insurgents of a tax to grind cane. All plantations where grinding is permitted pay a tax of 25 cents per sack of 300 pounds to the insurgents. On one plantation an insurgent agent remains con- tinually to collect. It is learned from Mr. E. D. Doamer of St. Louis, who has received a letter from his brother in Cuba, that Capt. T. Rosser Roemer, late of the celebrated Busch zou- aves of that city, is in command of a regi- ment of insurgents attached to Gomez's army. Doamer’s brother, who was also a member of the zouave company, went to Cuba before Roemer did. In the letter he says that he is captain of the artillery. A special to the St. Louis Republic from Key West, Fla., says: Gen. Gomez engaged the Spanish army under Gen. Marin near Quivican, in Havana province. The bat- tle, which lasted several hours, was stub- bornly contested. The insurgents event- ually withdrew to escape an ambuscade. Both sides claim the victory, but as the official report does not state the Spanish lusses the insurgent claim is accepted as nominally correct. This is to the effect that Marin lost about 200 men, 500 Mauser rifles and a considerable quantity of am- munition. Gomez, the report says, handled his forces with rare skill and escaped with a@ loss of less than a dozen men. soe TO FIND THE SOUTH POLE. The Norwegian Explorer Gives Ac- count of His Plans. Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink, the Nor- wegian explorer, is visiting this country. In talking of his proposed expedition to antarctic regions he said: “Our future expedition will sail from London December 1,-this year. In the party will be myself and eleven other ex- plorers. I have not decided upon the party as yet. There are so many things to be taken into consideration. First and most important is the fact that the men must be sturdy, and above al! of good nature and disposition. So much depends upon that. The trials ure such that no grum- bler can be allowed to go along. We have a@ concession from the British company which will send aiong two vessels equipped as sealers. One is to be of about four hundred tons burden, and the other is to be a little ship of about seventy-five tons. In addition to these we will take a steam or naphtha launch. I will be in com- mend, and our objective point will be Cape Adair. Our party will be landed there with sledges, snowshoes, dogs and all equip- ment. Then the vessels will leave us and ‘art~upon their cruise for whales and seals. We shall at once build our winter quarters and prepare for the trip to the southern pole. The ships will return for us in December, 1897. By that time we hope to have reached the pole. That is the plan so far outlined. We have not de- cided upon the vessels as yet or any of the additional details. =——___os——_—__ SLIPPED OUT OF NORFOLK. Mysterious Disappearance of the Steamer I. N. Veazey. It is known that the Spanish government has several special agents at Norfolk watching for possible filibustering steamers. Despite these precautions and notwith- standing the presence of a quartet of Unit- ed States vessels in Hampton Roads, it de- velops that Sunday night the steamer I. N. Veazey slipped out of Norfolk with no pre- scribed destination. ‘The Veazey was sold last week by Deputy United States Marshal Cross under a libel for wages due. The purchaser was a well- dressed stranger, who said he bought the boat for a New York Fulton market firm,to be useil in the fish trade. * One night she lay at a big freight dock, and a few hours before she was coaled and steamed up an unusually large number of men were seen to board her. No clearance papers have been obtained for a vessel of that name, yet incoming ships report pass- ing a boat of her description outward bound near the capes. ————_o+___ Princeton Alumni Dinner. Tne twenty-fifth annual dinner of the Princeton Alumni Association of the Dis- trict of Columbia will take place tomorrow evening at the Hotel Page. It promises to be the handsomest affair of the sort this association has ever given, and from the returns received ‘by the secretary, Mr. Henry C. Stewart, jr., it is certain that it will draw together the largest number of Princeton graduates that has ever attended a banquet in this city. Among the guests of honor who have accepted invitations to be present are Dr. Francis L, Patton, the president of Princeton; Prof. Andrew West of the faculty and Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court, who has been invited by Mr. Joseph K. McCammon, the president of the association, to represent the Yale Alumni Association. The number of Prince- ton men in the Senate and House is un- usually large, and almost all of them have signified their intention to be present. eee The Norwegian storthing was open2d yesterday. King Oscar said he hoped that the meeting of the commission on the con- dition of the union of Notwny and Sweden would lead to an agreement tending to the happiness of both nations.

Miss Pai pany have joined her at Hotel Metropole. | THE SPEECHES MADE After The Star’s report of proceedings of the House of Representatives on the Dis- trict appropriation bill closed yesterday afternoon, Mr. Grout said that, in case a question should arise in one of the char- itable institutions for which Congress was asked to make an appropriation, yon some point of moral or religious instruction in jome time of great public excitement, which the institution did not want looked into,they would have a right to close their doors in the face of the superintendent of charities and of every other comer, and say to them: “Gentlemen, betake yourselves into the street.” “That would be their legal right,” ‘con- tinued Mr. Grout. “There is no question whatever about it. Mark you, I am speak- ing only of their legal right, for, as a matter of fact, they permit inspection now. The Question of Accounting. “Then there is also the question of ac- counting. In this appropriation, which is for ‘maintenance,’ it would undoubtedly be some account submitted which would show -that the money here appropriated was ex- pended for maintenance. The gentleman told us that he had vouchers here and forms on which the reports of these institutions were made. I have gone through the list, and the only one I find containing any items, all the others being blank pieces of paper, is the one that I hold in my hand, and the items are: ‘Rent, salaries, all other items of maintenance, including repairs,’ ‘Perma- nent improvements, including purchase of real estate, interest, principal of debt.’ These are all the items. Now, what do we learn from this report about the expendi- ture of the money which we appropriate here? “These reports do not disclose how much of this money goes for the purchase of Tes- taments in Latin, or Greek, or Hebrew, or how much may, perchance, go for the pur- chase of beads and crucifixes—because those are articles used in these institutions—not, perhaps, in the one we are now speaking of particularly, St. John’s Orphanage, but cer- tainly in those belonging to the Roman Church. These reports, I say, give us no information as to how this money is ex- pended in detail.” Mr. Grout’s Amendment. Mr. Grout continued to say that the man- ner of making theSe appropriations was not businesslike. Mr. Grout offered the follow- ing as a concluding paragraph to the bill: “That no part of any money appropriated by this act for charities or charitable in- stitutions shall be paid to any institution named in this act until the charter or arti- cles of incorporation thereof shall be so amended as to accord to the Commissioners of the Distric® of Columbia, or to their designated agents, authority to visit and in- spect such institutions, and to control and supervise the expenditure therein of all pub- lic funds paid out of appropriations made by Congress. Secrets of the Committee. Mr. Robertson of Lovisiana said: “I hope I may not be guilty of divulging any of the secrets of the committee when I state that the fight upon this appropriation only be- gan at a late hour on the night before this bill was reported. We had been con- sidering this bill for several weeks. Fin- ally, on the very night before we were to report It to the House, when we were con- sidering it for the last time, there appear- ed before that committee an organization known, I believe, as the A. P. A., which be- gan an attack upon these appropriations, for the reason, as they conceived, that they were made to sectarian institutions. Up to that time I believe there were no dissensions in the committee, but at that point these gentlemen saw fit to begin an attack.” Mr. Robertson said he was willing to vote for an amendment which will require these institutions to make a report of their financial disbursements to an officer of the government. Mr. Morse favored continuing appropria- tions to the Temporary Home for ex-Union Soldiers and Sailors and the Hope and Help Mission for Fallen Women. Mr. Wheeler of Alabama said that if the District of Columbia were to pay all the expense of maintaining the children in St. John’s Orphanage it would cost the govern- ment $15,000 instead of $1,800. Mr. Bowers’ Position. Mr. Bowers of Colorado was opposed to appropriations of money for sectarian in- stitutions. “Now, I want to caution the members right here,” said Mr. Bowers, “that there is no proposition to reduce this appropriation. I understand the proposi- tion of those who are opposing this plan is that this money shall be disbursed by an officer appointed by Congress, the body which rules this District. You have no more right to appropriate this money for the various sectarian institutions here than you have to appropriate it for St. John’s Guild ‘in the town in which I live, which maintains an orphanage and home for poor people. The question is, whether you shall appropriate money to sectarian pur- poses over which we have no control,where you do not know where the money goes or what to be done with it, but if we do make any appropriations they ought to be under the control of our own officers. A Dangerous Line of Business. “It Is dangerous to enter upon that line of business. It is forbidden by the Con- stitution; it only leads to trouble; it is only the beginning, the entering wedge of trouble. We must keep church and state apart. The churches have their privileges, all of them, to go on and do as they see fit, but let them keep their hands off the government. We are here simply to legis- late for the people, not to appropriate mcn- ey to sectarian institutions. When you do that you open a Pandora’s box, and no man can tell the evils that will come out of that box when you do open it. All of us are willing to appropriate money for our own people here. The poor of this Dis- trict are under the care of Congress, be- cause we are the guardians and the gov- ernors of this District, but the money we appropriate should be distributed by officers appointed or authorized by Congress.” Mr. Washington of Tennessee said he was a firm believer that there should be no union between church and state. He theught the appropriations should be con- tinued until Congress should erect suitable institutions and asylums for the care of orphan children. He was willing to sup- port Mr. Grout’s amendment, which clear- ly announces that no money will be given for absolutely sectarian institutions. Mr. Willis thought that the present sys- tem of charities should be continued until something better could be put in its place. Mr. Bartholdt said: “All the wealthy peo- ple of this District will stop contributing for the care of the insane, the sick, the orphans of the District as socn as you put these institutions under public control. The German Orphan Asylum of this city is for all practical purposes a public institution; it is not private. It is public in its charac- ter, and it is non-sectarian. It receives the children of Catholics, Protestants, Jews —adherents of every denomination. For that reason I say it is non-sectarian and public in its character.” - The German Orphan Asylum. Mr. Hainer replied that the gentleman from Missouri was mistaken in supposing the purpose of his amendment was to place the German Orphan Asylum under public cortrol. ‘ “No such purpose as that,” said Mr. Hainer, “is contemplated by my motion, which is simply to strike out the appro- priations for this institution, and instead of appropriating money to the, institution directly to place all the duty of the accounting officers to have- proved” or “artificial” Carlsbad Salt, which consist only of ordinary Scid- litz Powder and Glauber Salt, sand are sold by unscrupulous dealers upon the reputation of the genuine, Be sure to obtain the genuine im- ported Carisbad Sprudel Salt with the seal of the city of Carlsbad, and the signature of “EISNER & ME DELSON CO., Agents, New York,” on every bottle. —— = for doing so for a definite time, making fair payment therefor. “I appreher.d the fact that this institu- tion is thus patronized by the board of children’s guardians will not cause the philanthropic German-Americans all over the country to withhold the hand of char- ity. Is it possible that any man will with- hold one dollar from a charitable institu- tion because the government no longer ap= priates.to it directly?” Mr. Bartholdt thought they would. Home for Destitute Colored Women, When the appropriation of $9,900 for the National Association for the Relief of Des- titute Colored Women and Children was reached Mr. Hainer moved to strike it out. While it was not sectarian, he said, it was a private institution. Mr. Northway of Ohio thought that the above institution could not be benefited by the money appropriated for the board of children’s guardians, but Mr, Hainer — they would be benefited by that ‘und. Mr. Pitney said that but $153 had been received by the Home for Colored Women and Children from miscellaneous sources, and if the appropriation was stricken out the home would have to be closed Mr. Pitney was supported in his appeal for the home by Mr. Grout. Mr. Skinner's Plain Language. Mr. Skinner said he thought the appro- Priation should stand. “You come here,” he said, the House, “representing your constituen- cies; you spend your money, you leave behind you orphans; you leave behind you inmates of asylums. In other words, by. your presence in this national capital you increase the charge of the local churches which ask to have aid extended to them in the field of charity, and the church hero stands upon the same high plane that a pri- vate individual in the District of Columbia does, and asks the general government to assist in bearing the burden which you help to bring upon them.” The House then adjourned until today, —————2_____ SIX DAYS WITHO WATER. addressing Experiences of the Survivors of # Wreck. The ship Louis Walsh, from Callao, has brought to Port Townsend, Wash., two of the crew, Steward Chase and Cook Mitchell, from the ship Parthia, which was burned at sea several weeks ago, 30) miles south- west of Juan Fernandez Island. The Par- thia was coal laden, from Liverpool to San Francisco. The first intimation that the* ship was afire was when a dense volume of smoke burst through the main hatch. Knowing the coal was full of gas, and ap- prehensive lest an explosion should occur, three boats in charge of Capt. Carter and his first and second mates, respectively, were launched and well provisioned. The same afternoon, when the boats were three miles distant, the ship blew up and sank. Spontaneous combustion was the origin of the fire. Four days the three boats remained to- gether, when a storm came on and the second mate's boat was lost sight of. The water filled the boats, and all the crew could do was to keep them bailed out. Then it was necessary to throw overboard all the men’s clothes and nearly all the provisione. The captain and first officer’s boats reach- ed Juan Fernandez Island, and from there they were taken to Valparaiso by a Chil- ean man-of-war. The second mate's boi had @ severe time, and was fourteen day reaching Valparaiso. For six days they. were without water and food. David Jones, an American actor, who was @ passenger, became insane and was tied down for two days, when he died and was buried at sea. The other occupants almost despaired of reaching shore, and were con- sidering the advisability of resorting to ex- treme measures, when a wind sprang up and quickly carried the boat to Valparaiso, where the crew were taken ashore uncon= scious and nearly dead. 2+ —_____ BURIED AMID FLOWERS.
