AND GROUNDS —_—_+—____ Cubans Rejoice Over Their Deplora- ble and Hopeless Condition. QUESADA DESCRIBES THE SITUATION The Cause of the Revolution, He Declares, Will Be Successful. pe GENERAL AMERICAN FEELING “We arc receiving information every day from Cuba,” said Senor Gonzalo de Ques- ada to a Star reporter this morning, “show- ing most gratifying progress toward suc- cess on the part of the revolutionists, and a correspor ding retrogression on the “part of the Spaniards. The latter are becom- ing more and more discouraged and dis- heartened and almost open mutiny exists in many parts of the army in the island. From private letters I have received the distrust of the Spanish on account of the effects of their policy regarding the issue of paper currency is extending even to the classes who have hitherto from selfish mo- tives pretended to have sympathy with the cause of Spain. The paper currency is now at 4 per cent discount, and even at that figure no one Is willing to take it. All the business payments and exchanges in Cuba have to be paid in gold, and con- sequently a depreciated currency, such as I have described, affects the business class- es to a greater extent than any othe: “The news from Madrid,” continued Quesada, “as to the financial situation of Spain shows that she is on the verge of bankruptcy. The Spanish official gazette contains a decree of the minister of the colontes crdering the sale of 4,6) bonds of 500 francs each, a total of 2,300,000 francs. These are the last of the colonial bonds remaining at Spain’s disposal. The bonds will probably bring in round num- bers about 2,000,000) francs. On the same date that they are to be sold Spain has to pay 15,000,000 francs interest on the loans to which those bonds belong. Other Immense Obligations. “Furthermore, on the 15th of April, May, June and July, respectively, there are due and Spain must take up the promissory notes which she issued last year on simi- lar dates, amounting in the aggregate to 50,000,000 frances. On the Ist of July she also has to pay another 15,00),000, franes quarterly interest on colonial bonds. In round numbers, Spain within the next five months will be compelled to pay nearly 90,000,000 francs, and, besides this, she has to keep up her ‘army, her navy and meet the expenses of the budget, which will un- doubtedly require another — 150,000,000 francs. Counting all her resources at her own figures, Spain will have a deficit of 150,000,000 francs, which will be added to a deficit already of 70,000,000 francs and her 457,000,000 francs of floating debt. Naturally, Cubans regard this condition with hopeful satisfaction,” said Senor Quesada. “Spain has a costly war in the Phillippines on her han: to which she will! have to send 20,000 additional men. Her ferces in Cuba are disorganized and di- minishing, every steamer returning to Spain taking 400 or 500 sick and invalid soldiers. The hospitals on the island are filled, and the rainy season is again ap- preaching. American Sentiment Must Prevail. “The sentiment of the American people in favor of the independence of Cuba is be- coming more and more pronounced and cannot long be denied appropriate action on the part of the government in my opin- jon,” he continued. “State legislatures are speaking out in no uncertain terms. The other day it was Michigan and today we received an official notification of the action of the North Dakota legisiature.” Hereupon Senor Quesada handed The Star reporter a copy of the resolution given below, attested by E. A. Williams, speaker, and H. E. Lavayea, chief clerk of the North Dakota house, and J. M. Devine, president, and J. O. Smith, secretary of the senate: It reads as follows: “Be it resolved by the house of repre- sentatives, the senate concurring, That we watch with deep and abiding interest the heroic battle of the Cuban patriots against cruelty and eppression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their de- termined contest for liberty. The govern- ment of Spain having lost control of Cuba, anc being unable to protect the property and lives of resident American citizens, or to comply with its treaty obligations, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use its Influence and its good offices to restore peace and to give incependence to the island.” The legislature also passed a concurrent resolution Gees that a copy of the fore- going should be sent to Senor Quesada for transmission to the president of the Cuban rerublic. After reading and copying the resolution asked The Star reporter Senor Qu whether there was 3 ow. ada a definite of filibustering expeditions: The rge daffaires smiled broadly at this direct question, and_re- ferred the reporter to “the ever vigilant Dupuy ce Lome. ees to Pay Alimony. W. Henry Wilson, a colored barber, who is being sued for divorce, and who was ordered some time ago to pay his wife, Helen Wilscn, $15 a month alimony, © brought before Judge Cox today upon the complaint of Mrs. Wilson's attorney, Mr. Thos. L. Jones, who charged that the man has failed to obey the court’s order. Judge Cox gave him forty-eight hours in w to pay $20 of the amount in arreai son claims the distinction of having shaved President McKinley while the President was in Congress, and hopes to perform like services during the next four yea ———es Farther Investigation. The case of Charles Parker, who alleged that he killed Wesley Halli, the old colored shoemaker, who was murdered a year ago, was set for a hearing today before Judge Miller, but was continued by Assistant District Attorney Mullowney to enable him to fhake further investigation relative to the matter. Wil- SS Route of Herdics. An interesting question has arisen con- cerning the power of the Cemmissionaers to regulate the running of herdics. Recently a patron living along the line of the her- dics complained to the Commissioners that the road had curtailed its route and he with others were inconvenienced thereby. It appears, however, that_the Commission- ers have no authority to establish the ter- mini of the company, and consequently cannot dictate to it which route it snall follow. —— ns Death of Rev. James Ward. Rev. James Ward, D. D., president of Westminster Theological Seminary and cx- president of Western Maryland Colleze, died at his home, Westminster, Md., at 7 o'clock Friday evening. Dr. Ward formerly lived in this city, and for a number of years was prominent in theological work. He made many friends, who will all be sorry to learn of his death. Funeral services will be held at Westmin- ster Methodist Protestant Church on Mon- day, March 8, at noon. —— Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: White—Wm. B. Cryer and Mary L. Johnson; William H. Vail and Margaret Boyle, both of Philadelphia, Pa.; Wm. E. Michener and Minnie A. Elliott; Frank G. Mattingly and Marion Proctor; Gustave Eichberg and Sarah Alexander; ‘Wm. C. Morris and Rosalond M, Scott. Colored—Frank A. Wilson and Bettie A. Lucas; Richd. B.

The first official action of General Alger as Secretary of War was.the issuance of an order, reading substantially as follows: “By direction of the President, Captain Theodore A.

Wilson, gineers, fcr assignmen: to duty in of public buildings and grounds in th trict of Columbia, relieving First John A. Sewell, Corps of Engincers, porarity in charge.” ‘This order was prepared Saturday after- noon as the result of a conference General Wilson and the President and Se retary Alger, but was not issued until t0- lay. Captain Bingham, chief of en- charge n who su delicate and responsibie dut eds to heretofor performed so efficientiy by General Wilson, has a good reputation in his corps and will undoubtedly make a popular cflicial. He is a native of Connecticut and was eppointed a cadet-at-large to the Military Sos from which jbe,Wwas_ graduated % in the class of 1879. For two years ine a- was also of the Mississippi river. Subsequently he served five years abroad as military attache of the United States legations at Berlin and Rome—three years at the former place and two years at the Itaitan capital. In 18M he was recalled to the United States and placed in charge of the improvements of the Tennessee rive! with station at Chattanooga, and remaine there until the summer of 1895, when he transferred to duty at Willetts Point, N.

At the close ef the sion of Cong pending legislation which has not been act- ed upon fails, In the case of the treat however, it remains as it came to the ate from the President, but ali rg amendments offered in the Senate or a- posed by the committee failed and ha to be_reoffered. 3 ‘The resolution led to considerabie dizcus- sion. As soon as Senator Davis had offered his motion to refer the treaty back to the com- mittee, Senator Morgan raised int that this could not be done. considerable discussion as to n: tury status of the treaty, had heon explained, the reso was adopted without divisic ng of the foreign relations com- mittee has been called for Wednesda ck, at which time the treaty will considered. At present there are two va- cencies on the committee and beth on the tion of be republican side, but it is not believed that it will make any difference in regard to tne “strength of the treaty in conimitiee. Senator Sherman voted for and Senator Cameron against reporting the treaty: so the vote will be relatively the same if the matter again comes to a test. Opponents of the treaty in the Senate s that there wil] be a great deal of discuss before the treaty can pass, no matter if the committee again amends it, as befure.

Later the quarter- master general reduced the amount allowed by the board of officers to $15,204, and still later, when Colonel Blunt reported that the occupation of Herr’s Island by the army had the effect of protecting the prop- erty, the claim was reduced to 5,SS8. es Full of Information.
