FOR FREE CUBA Mr, Hitt Presents the Senate Reso- lutions for Adoption. DIFFERENCE FROM THE HOUSE FORM A Precedent for the Language in the Second Stated. EXECUTIV# ACTION After explaining the parliamentary status and pointing out the difference between the Senate and House Cuban resolutions, Mr. Hitt saii in the House today: Mr. Speaker, the two resolutions which your conference committee have agreed to and now report propose, first, that we should accord to the people of Cuba bellig- erent rights, and, second, tender friendly offices to the Spanish government for the Tecognition of Cuban independence. These resolutions passed the Senate on the 2Sth of February by 2 majority of 58 votes. On the 2d of March the House adopted in Place of them, by 245 majority, three reso- lutions, the first of which proposed the rec- cognition of belligerent rights; the second, the use of our geod offices and friendly in- fluence in the establishment of a govern- ment by the choice of the people of Cuba, and, third, that we should be prepared to protect the interests of American citizens in Cuba by intervention, if necessary. It will be seen that each of the first resolu- tions proposes a recognition of belliger- ency. The second resolution, as we adopted It, was in more cautious form than the Sen- ate resolution, and Spain could not, unless persistently seeking a quarrel, have re- sented such a proposition, while the reso- lution of the Senate proposing indepen- dence was more exposed to captious ob- jection. A Precedent. A proposition by cne nation to another in ordinary, peaceful times to recognize the independence of a part of its territory would be offensive; for example, a proposi- tren by Great Britain to our government to recognize the independence of New Eng- land or California. But when a war be- tween a parent government and a depend- ency has been going on for a considerable time, and when separation is the best solu- tion of the war, the mediation or friendly counsel of anotker nation to solve an exist- ing struggle by recognizing independence may be a truly friendly act. In cases al- most precisely parallel, where Spain was at war with her dependencies on this conti- rent, in the early part of this century, cur government did, in fact, take the very step proposed in this second resolution. During the presidency of Madison Spain was at war with her American colonies. The col- onies refused to open any negotiations un- less the acknowledgment of their inde- pendence was mace their basis, and a litile later President Monroe said: “To promote that result (independence) by friendly coun- sels with other powers, including Spain her- self, has been the uniform policy of this government.” In his message of 1821 he repeats this language a second timc—al- most the language of this second resolu- tion. Again, during the ten years’ struggle the prices are right with the rightness that gives durability ‘with style, and both with economy. FRED GATCHEL.

FIRE AT BRUNSWICK, GA. Loss by the Flames Estimated at $500,000. Several years ago Brunswick, Ga., was visited by a conflagration which de- Mreyed it. and yesterday the disas- ter was aimost repeated. A fire start- td about 1:30 o'clock p.m. which swept away many of the most prosperous business enterprises of Brunswick, and for 2 time it was feared the whole town would be in ashes. The total loss is conserva- tively estimated at about £400,000, and the insurance 1s placed at $40,000. The flames started on th2 Brunswick and Western railroad wharves, and with- la an hour the wharves, two large ware- houses, a number of cars, including the freight contained therein, were consumed, entailing a loss to the company of $20,000, partially insured. The extensive property of the Downing Company, dealers in raval stores, became ignited, and the structure, with its valuable stock, was consumed. Their Icss Is estimated at $200,- 0, almost covered by insurance. The flames then swept up Day street, and 2 large portion of the business sec- ion of the town was in danger. As it was, some thirteen stores, including the stock, were destroyed, the loss on these being about $100,000; insurance, $70,000. The fire spread to the Ocean Hotel block, but did not make much headway there, the loss to the hotel being about $20,000. ————-+e+-—___ ‘Washington Lodge of Elks. Articles of reincorporating Washington Lodge, No. 15, of the Benevolent and Pro- tective Order of Elks, have been filed by Edwin B. Hay, Joseph E. Bishop, Jacob Heid, C. Burnwell Robinson, Thomas C. Cadwallader, Thomas J. King and Mitchell Dyrenforth. The three first named are trustees for the first year, the term of in- corporation being 100 years. i between Spain and the people of Cuba, from 18%8 to 1878, Gen. Grant, thfough our minister at Madrid, offered the good offices of the United States to bring that war to a close on the bas:s of Cuban independence, Spain to be paid an indemnity which the United States should guarantee. Recognition of Belligerency. The recognition of the belligerency of the struggling Cuban people right now is a far more important and immediately prac- tical question. That is the point covered by the first resolution both of the Senate and of the House, and transcends every- thing else. It is to the question of recog- nizing their belligerency that our people have given their earnest attention every- where throughout the United States. They have sent this House petitions and memo- rials beyond number, coming from legisla- iures, chambers of commerce, boards of trade, churches, societies and individual citizens by tens of thousands. On the other side individual members have re- ceived letters from citizens deprecating any action whatever. These letters are almost always from those who call themselves business men—brokers and financial men— who are opposed to any agitation or dis- cussion of a foreign question and seem to care very little about either the Cubans or Spaniards, but chiefly about the market. The unmistakable voice of the people of the United States, as expressed in the enormous majority given in this House, 262 to 17. is in favor of recognizing the belligerency of the Cubans. It is against this that all the Spanish influences in this country are most strenuously exerted. It is to this hope of recognition of belligerency that all Cubans and friends of Cuba turn. The reason is plain. They know it would be of importance and inestimable assistance to the Cuban cause. It would give them a flag; it would them a status in the world. If they pro- cured a vessel and entered New York har- bor tomorrow with their loie star flag they would be Haple to be treated 1s pirates. The Spanish minister would im- mediately claim that this should be done. But with a recognized flag they could enter as the ships from all countries do. They could buy munitions cf war openly; they could buy supplies of every kind. Men could go 6penly, if not in armed expedi- tions, to join them. They could negotiate loans—negotiate them as openly as the Spaniards can do now. The Snanish gov- ernment buys munitions of war at Hart- ford and at Philadelphia, buys supplies, lcads ships—in fact, the United States is today the base of operations in a furious war to crush those who are struggling tor Hberty, and our government has been busied for a year in obeying the intima- tions of the Spanish minister. Is this fair- ness? Is this justice? Is this observing nevtrality in this struggle? Wither in spir- it or in fact, are we not efficient oppressors of the Cubans? Such has not been the pol- icy of our government in earlier days. In 1815 the Sparish minister, De Onis, when the colonists in southern America were struggling just as the Cubans are now, de- manded tFat our ports should be closed to the revolutionists under the flags of Buenos Ayres, Carthegena and the Mexican con- gress and other places, which have, he says, “revolted against the authority of the king, my mzster.”” He denounced them as pirates and bandits, and demanded that they could be co treated. President Madi- son disregarded his haughty demands «nd recognized the belligerency of the strug- gling colonists. Success of the Cubans Probable. The success of the Cubans is now prob- able. For a year they have bafiled the armies of Spain. In a recent statement by the Spanish minister, addressed to the peo- ple of the United States, he said that Spain —GIVEN AWAY— KNIVES and RAZORS IN EXCHLNGE FOR COUPONS WITH Mail Pouch ‘CHEWING AND SMOKING” (The only ANTI-NERVOUS, ANTI-DYSPEPTIC and NICOTINE-NEUTRALIZED) TOBACCO.

With this great army more than forty war vessels have been co-operating to shut the Cubans in and subdue them. Far from being sub- dued, they have fought on successfully for @ year, each month and each weck press- ing forward, bringing province after prov- ince under their power, until their author- ity has extended over 600 miles—from the eastern to the western end of the island— and the Spanish forces are today largely penned in the cities. It is sometimes objected that we ought not to encourage the Cubans to separate government, as they would simply enter upon anarchy and successive revolutions, as so often has happened wiih other Span- ish-American colonies. But, in fact, Cuba differs from all the others, except Chile, in that two-thirds of its population are of European origin. Chile and Cuba are the only two spots in Spanish-America where the Spanish race colonized in the fashion in which the Anglo-Saxons colonized, by transplanting their people and building up their own race. Chile has been for fifty years conspicuous in South America for ability and energy. Her securities were good in European markets forty years ugo. The other Spanish-American countries were, in fact, populations largely Indian in blood, ruled by a small proportion of peo- ple of the European race. ' ‘The million white people of Cuba once organized into an independent government will soon settle into stable conditions and enter upon a career of prosperity. It is our duty to treat them today with fairness, to observe @ neutrality that is real. Ameri- cans who are descendants of those who struggled through a contest against tyranny like that today in Cuba should not be false to the memory of their fathers nor to the traditions and spirit of their history. We are under no obligations to favor Spain end oppression, as against Cuba and freedom. Remember how Spain invaded and seized upon Santo Domingo when the United States was engaged in the war of the rebellion. It was disclosed in the debates in the Spanish cortes after- ward that that occupation of Santo Do- mingo was entercd upon expressly to thwart the influence of the United States and prevent our obtaining a station at Samana. It was in this spirit that Spain so early recognized the belligerency of the confederates, a month before blood was shed in battle. It was done in co-oper- ation with Louis Napoleon, who also, pur- suing the same scheme of oppression, took advantage of our troubles to overthrow the republic ef Mexico and set up an em- pire there. We have no debt of gratitude and should be influenced by no sentiments but those of justice and that enlightened self-interest which is the true guide in the} policy of nations.

When this vote has been given, as it will be overwhelmingly by this House, con- curring with the Senate in expressing the; will of the people of the United States, we cannot doubt that the executive will act and obey the voice of the nation, and that we will speedily hear that the President has recognized the belligerency of the strug- gling Cubans The waning cause of Spain has been apparent from weck to week for two months past.

Benja- min F. Kirby was the man whom he ap- prehended, and on him the officer found a geruine policy book. He also had $5.75 in cash. Kirby had been drinking before he was arrested, and he said he had heen in the habit of collecting plays and taking them over the river on his own responsibil- ity.

Some of the politicians in Congress who profess to be impartial observers are’ ex- pressing the opinion that if the “poiitical bosses’’ succeed in defeating McKinley, it will result in the nomination of none of the men who are now prominent candidates. They say that while/men who have “gone gunning” for the nomination, as McKinley is, and have been not on the chase raonths before the time of the convention, have usually been defeated, it is equally true that the “bosses” have not been able to control the nomination. This class of reasoners do not concede that McKinley has a walkover, but they ore rather inclined to the opinion that he may be beaten down. They do not think, however, that those who may defeat him can make a combination that will nomi- nate. Out of this grows the talk of Harrison's being again brought into the field, though there are comparatively few who think that could be accomplished. The more cemmon opinion among those who are not wrapped up in the candidacy of some par- ticular man is that some one not now much thought of may:come in as a dark horse. The so-called “hosses” are credited with a determination, above all other considera- tions, to defeat McKinley, even at the sac- ritice of any or all the candidates of their choice. If they should succeed in bringing about a situation which would render Mc. Kinley’s nomination impossible, the friends of the Ohio candidate would prefer Harri- son to any of the present candidates. But idea that Quay and Platt would select Harrison in order to defeat McKinley {s not regarded as at all well founded. If con- nted with such an alternative they would prefer McKinley, and it is believed that most of the delegates they are sup- posed to control would make the same choice. Marcus Pollasky, the attorney of Scripps’ League, and a Chicago hustler, who. is working very actively for McKinley, pass- ed through Washington yesterday on his way to Philadelphia, talking McKinley all the way. He says that if Senator Cullom remains in the field McKinley will have 26 of the 48 delegates from Illinois on the first ballot, and all of them on the second; and that if Cullom drops out, as he thinks probable, the 48 votes will go to McKinley on the first ballot. He ‘says he is going to make the fight for elastion as delezate-at- large committed to the Ohio candidate. He said that during. the past few weeks he had been in Wissénsins Indiana, Chio, West Virginia, Pennéylvihia, New York and Michigan, and hia made it his oust- hess to talk with thejbestoinformed work- ing politicians. He figured. out that Me- Kinley would come wythin,J50 of the nomi- nation on the first illo, and would be nominated on the fecgnd. “Mr. McKinley.” he said, “has 5714 per cent of the delegates, now elected, and he will come very near kecpiig up that per- centage.” © Marringe Licenses.

FIGHT FOR THE CONTROL OF THE STATE Gold Democrats Making an Effort in Only Two Southern States. VICE PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER St The Crisp-Smith debate, in Georgia, Is at- tracting more than passing interest among the politicians at the Capitol. The debate is a forerunner of the contest to take place in that state between the two factions of the party. Secretary Smith has made a Ealf dozen speeches in the state within the last six months, and has aroused the “sound money” faction to action. That fac- tion will put up a strong fight to secure the delegation to the national convention, but at this time has no strong hope of winning. They claim to be increasing in strength every day, and are relying on Secretary Smith's speeches to turn the tide in their direction, On the other hand, Mr. Crisp’s speeches are expected to put new life into the silverites, and to put them into condi- tion which will defy defeat. What the Silver Men Say. The silver people of the state say that it is absolutely necessary for the safety of the party that they should have control of the state. With a gold standard candidate for President and the “sound money” men in the saddle over the silver men in state affairs, the election in November would be exceedingly doubtful. Throughout the state many prominent democrats have publicly declared that they will not support a gold standard nominee. Various newspapers have made the same declaration. All this is encouraging to the populists. Should both the national and state machinery be in the hands of the “sound money” peo- ple, there is grave doubt, it is said, of the ability of the democrats to hold the state. There have been defections of a few prom- inent white men to the republican party, and this adds to the uncertainty. The lead- ing silver paper of the state is accused by the opposition of inculcating populist doc- trines in its effort to carry the state for silver. Of course, the gold men see no reason for alarm. The silver leaders, like Crisp, they say, are pledged to abide the will of the majority and of the party. These silver leaders will have to exert all their power and influence for the party if they are beaten. This fact prevents the gold men being scared. In Other Southern States. Alabama and Georgia are the only south- ern states in which the gold standard demo- crats are putting up a fight. In North Caro- lina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississipp|, Arkansas and Texas not much is being done against the silver majorities. There is a factional fight in South Carolina between the silver men over the question of bolting the nomination at Chicago. Florida and Louisiana haven't begun the battle on an extensive scale, but the gold men will make fights In those states. In Arkansas the gubernatorial fight is be- tween silver men. The fight shows how strong the feeling is against a gold stand- ard. Mr. Jones, who is not related to the Senator, announced on the stump, as a can- didate for governor, that he would not sup- port the nominee of the Chicago convention if he was not for free coinage. Mr. Harod, who ts also a silver man, announced that he would support the nominee of the conven- tion if he was the devil and if Rothschild dictated the platform. Jones’ platform has caught the fancy of the people, and Arkan- sas Congressmen say that he is sweeping the state. Several press dispatches have stated that Mr. Harod was winning, but this is contradicted here. This is alluded to as showing, the silver men eay, how strong the feeling is in the south for bolting. “Dick” Bland to the Front. The bolting feeling in Missourl is regarded as much stronger than in some other states. To keep the silver men of that state in line they are being told that the national con- vention will be for silver,®and that “Silver Dick” Bland stands a good chance of being nominated for Vice President on the ticket with some strong silver candidate for Presi- dent. Around the Capitol for a week the silver democrats have talked a great deal about Boies of Towa, and have coupled Bland’s name with that of the Iowaian. The name of Governor Stone of Missouri has also been mentioned for the vice presiden- tial nomination. Southern Man for Vice President. There will be no scarcity of vice presi- dential timber if the silver men are in con- trol at Chicago. This piace will almost sure- ly go to a southern man, in recognition of the south’s position in favor of silyer. Near- ly every southern state will put up a candi- date. Alabama has Morgan, Georgia has Walsh or some other man,’ Missouri has Vest, Bland or Stone; Mississippi has Money or Dinsmore; Texas has Ss yers, Bailey, Cul- berson_ and others; Tennessee has Harris, Bate, McMillin and Taylor; Arkansas has Jones and other good men; South has Tillman. en Caroling ————_- e-__ CUBAN EXPEDITION LANDS. Men and Arms From America Safe on the Island. Advices were received by De Soto Broth- ers, leaders of the Cuban colony in Wil- mington, Del. last right that another fili- bustering expedition from the United States had safely landed yesterday morning on the rcrthern shores of Cuba, ard that by today the arms and ammunition will be in the possession of the insurgents in the province of Pinar del Rio. This expedition, which will be the seventh that has safely reached the camp of the insurgent army in the past six weeks, started from New York on the night of Wednesday, March 25. It consisted of thirty-five men, three hundred thousand cartridges, two thousand rifles and a large quantity of powder. The name of the vessel that conveyed the expediiion cannot be learned, though it was hinted by Cubars that she was a large steamer belonging to a steamship company with headquarters in New York. In an interview last night Ralph De Soto, the Cuban leader who was tried last Sep- tember on the charge of aiding a filibus- tering expedition from Wilmington to Cuba, said: “I am heppy to say that another expedi- tion reacted my struggling countrymen today. It makes the second to arrive in Cuba within ten days, and the s2venth within the past six weeks. This expedition was carefully planned, and got away from New York last week without the slizhtest trouble and without exciting the slightest suspicion on the part of the government officials and Pinkertons.” Mr. De Soto denied emphatically the statement that the Bermuda had been de- tained at Honduras and her munitions of war seized by the Honduras government. “I have positive information,” sald he, “that Gen. Garcia is in Cuba,” and he pro- duced a ietter from one of the members of the Bermuda expedition, In which the safe arrival of the expedition was an- nounced. The apprehension thet prevailed several weeks ago as to the launching of a big mil- itary expedition from Delaware for Cuva has been revived, and Wilmington is again filled with Pinkerton detectives, who are keeping a close watch on Cuban resorts. The government officials are also on the alert, as it was stated that a big expedi- tion would start from a point on the Dela- ware below the city. —_——_+e+—___ DECLARED NOT A TRUST. Secret Conference of Prominent Steel Manufacturers. A nvmber of frominent stecl manufactur- ers of the United States met in secret ses- sion in New York yesterday. The object of the meeting was briefly outlined by one of the gentlemen ir attendance. It was not thelr intention, he said, to form a trust. They would, however, take measures to regulate the production and price of steel, and would put the price at a figure that would keep out the imported product.
