THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MAY 4, 1896. WHAT WILL THe PRESIDENT D02 He Confers With General Lee on the Cuban : -Situation. VARIOUS SPECULATIONS. Believed That Lee Will to Havana in a Dual Capacity. Go THE QUEEN OF SPAIN’S SPEECH It Is Expected to Definitely Outline the Government’s Policy Toward the Island. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 3.—Since the passage by both houses of Congress on ‘April 6 last of the Senate concurrent reso- lutions declaring that a state of war existed in Cuba and that, in the opinion of Con- gress, the President should recognize the belligerency of the Cubans and tender his good offices to Spain to bring about a recog- nition of the independence of the Cuban republic; no dvert action has been taken oy the United States, so far as is known, nn- less the appointment of so prominent a personage as ex-Governor Fitzhugh Lee as Consul-General to Havana can be so re- garded. There is & widely prevailing impression that General Lee will go to his post of | duty in the’ -double capacity of Consul- General .and special commissioner, em- powered to report directly to the President as to. the exact condition of affairs in Cuba.” This impression has been deep- ened by the protracted conferences which General Lee held with Secretary Olney and Mr. Cleveland yesteraay. Meanwhile considerable interest is felt as to the prob- able outcome of the matter. The Queen of Spain’s speech, to be de- livered at the opening of the Spanish ©Cortes on Monday, May 11, is expected to outline definitely the Cuban policy of the Government. It is awaited with consid- erable interest here, especially as informal assurances are believed to have been given to the administration that Cuba is to be tendered almost as great a degree of au- tonomy in purely domestic affairs as the Dominion of Canada now enjoys in its re- lations with Great Britain. The reform measures for the civil gov- ernment. of Cuba promulgated by the royal décree of March 15, 1895, which were net promptly put into operation because, as it is claimed, the present revolution prevented-the necessary local elections be- ing held to provide the officials named in the “decree, are expected to be enforced without much further delay, now that elections for the Cortes have ostensiply been held throughout Cubs during the past month. Supplementary to these laws liberal legislation by the new Cortes is also anticipated by those well informed as to the Spanish programme. In this conriection the statutory progress of Cuba toward liberal government since the close of the 10-years’ war is to be shown by-an official compilation of the colonial laws which is now 1in course of publication. . This compilation discloses the fact thatin the treaty of EI Zanjonn, which terminated that war in 1878, the in- surgents stipulated only for the freedom of those slaves who had served in their ranks. 2 The law of- February 13, 1880, put an end to slavery in the island, declaring all with- out distinction to be free—minors, how- ever, to remain under “patronage” until 1888, when even that feature was to be abolished. Two years before that time ex- pired the negroes were set at liberty by the decree of. October 7. 1886, and the last vestige of slavery was obliterated. The Sparnish constitution of 1876 was promulgated in the island April 7, 1881 All public liberties and the rights of citi- zenship then enjoyed in Spain were thereby granted to Cuba, involving the radical change in its political regime that laws were thenceforth enacted for it by the representatives of the nation, whereas the island had previously been governed by --direct orders from the crown. Since that time Cuba nas been represented in the Na- tional Cortes by its Senators and Repre- sentatives. Provision for the enforcement in Cuba of the penal code of the peninsula was made by royal decree on Hay 23, 1879; of the civil code, by decree of July 31, 1889; of the law concerning civil prosecution, by decree of September 25, 1885; and by de- cree of October 19, 1888, the law of crimi- nal prosecution was amended so as to re- ‘quire prosecutions to be conducted orally and in public instead of by written exami- nations in private—an important measure of reform which had only just been estab- lished in Spain herself. The Spanish code of commerce was ex- tended to Cuba January 28, 1886, and in addition fo numerous laws of minor im- portancé extended to the island the special banking law was made operative August 16, 1878, and that of landed property May 16, 1879, and as amended July 14, 1893, Most important, probably, has been the developmentof the principal poitical laws following upon increased liberty guaran- teed by the coustitution of 1876. The law of June 15, 1880, regulating the right of meeting as proclaimed in article 13 of the constitution was made to em- brace the island of Cuba by the royal de- cree of November 1, 1881. This authorized peaceful meetings to be held exactly as in Spain, and provided that twenty - four hours’ notice be given to the Governor of the province concerning the place, pure pose and time of meeting. This provision differs little from the laws and regulations prevailing in the United States, where license and permits have to be taken out from municipal authorities for many pub- lic gatherings. The Spanish law of June 30, 1887, con- cerning liberty to form partnerships was made applicable to Cuba by decree of June 12, 1888, and that of January 7, 1879, for the freedom of the press, was extended to the isiand April 7, 1881. When that law was amended on more liberal lines in Bpain, June 26, 1883, its additional liber- ties were given to Cuba Nevember 11, 1886. This statute maintained that the pro- yisions of the common law were sufficient to punish offenses of the press and gave the ordinary courts full jurisdiction. The laws of civil marriages, providing for the religious toleration guaranteed by the eleventh article of the constitution, was proclaimed November 13, 1886. The provincial and municipal organization of colonies were made to conform with those of the peninsula June 21, 1878. Reforms in the right of suffrage have been difficult of accomplishment wherever the negro race is in the majority, but the law concerning voters in elections for Cu- ban Representatives in the Cortes, promul- gated December 27, 1892, provides that every citizen 25 years of age who pays the sum of §5 to the State shall have the right to vote, and this richtis enjoyed by ne- groes as well as white persons in Cuba. In this law are likewise provisions which se- cure the representation of the minority. The laws relative to education are also important. As long ago as 1880 autonomy was granted to the University of Havana, and such ample provisions were granted to it that but one university in the penin- sula (that of Madrid) enjoys privileges equally great. High schools throughout the island were organized in 1883, and finally in 1887 freedom of education was proclaimed to the same extentand man- ner as in Spain. ’ The Cuban budget, it is shown, has been reduced from $46,500,000 for the fiscal year 1878-79—the closing of the last war—to a little more than $23,000,000 for 1893. The system of taxation in Cuba and Spain, it is claimed, could not be made ex- actly alike because direct taxes are repug- nant to Cubans, especially the tax on land, which is the basis of the Spanish budget. The direct tax on rural property in Cuba is 2 per cent, while in Spain it is from 17 to 20 per cent. As revenue had to be raised in Cuba the income was sought from cus- toms duties. Notwithstanding this ia years when the greatest financial distress prevailed the Spanish Government did not hesitate to sacrifice that income in order | to meet the special need of Cuba’s princi- pal agricultural product when the reci- procity treaty was put into effect. Many | Spanish industries had to be sacrificed in | order that Cuban sugar could continue to find its chief market in the United States. On the principle of ‘hearing the other side” this statement of Spanish reform legislation in regard to Cuba is submitted | for consideration. S CUBAN BONDS IN DEMAND. | One Bidder Takes AUl That Are Offered | Jor Sale. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 3.—Cubans at | the Junta headquarters in New street are pleased at the information that has leaked out that all the Cuban bonds lately put on the market by the revolutionary party have been asked for by one bidder, who offers 60 per cent in cach. A favor- able confirmation of the news came from Benjamin J. Guerra, the treasurer of the Cuban delegation and also treasurer of the bond committee. Mr. Guerra yesterday said: ““We have an offer from a single bidder for all the bonds we have on the market, | and his offer is under consideration. We | printed bonds worth $10,000,090, but de- | cided to offer only $2,000,000.

CLEVELAND, Onto, May 3.—The battle for women will be fought to a finish in the Methoaist Episcopal General Conference to-morrow at 10 o’clock, the matter being the special order for that hour. The oppo- | sition to the eligibility of women will be led by Dr. Buckley of New York, editor of the Christian Advocate. The other mat- ters of the morning session will be the usual routine business of the conference. | In the afternoon there will be no session, | but the various standing committees will meet for organization. The committees on Judiciary, Consti- tution and the other special committees will choose their own time and places for organization. The evening will be de- voted to a reception to the fraternal dele- gates from the Methodist Episcopal church south, and the Methodist Protest- antchurch. The question of appointing negro Bishops promises to be one of the most interesting of the conference. There appears to be a desire on the part of the white delegates to evade the question, but the negro delegates state that they are de- termined on obtaining a definite decision, e ON THE DIAMOND. Winners of the Sunday Baseball Games in the East, CHICAGO, Inn, May 3.—The locals made it three straight from St. Louis in another one-sided game to-day. The crowd was so large that play was almost impossible at times. The turnstile count was 17,231, but at least 3000 more were present, as the crowd broke down the gate to the 50 cent seats after it had been closed and a great number rushed throngh before the police came to the rescue.

DETROIT, Mich., sMay 8.—Motor-car 75 of the Detroit Railway jumped the track in rounding the curve at the corner of Marquette avenue and Hastings street at an early hour this morning, injuring the motorman and conductor and three pas- sengers, more or less seriously. The motorman was unfamiliar with the route, and the car was running at a rapid rate of speed when it struck the curve. 1t jumped free of the tracks, ran forty feet over the pavement, jumped the curb- stone and crashed into an iron trolley po le, badly wrecking the body of the car. Motorman John Hart and Miss Martha Winkler, a passenger, were the most seri- ously hurt. They were removed to Harper Hospital, and both will recover. James Miller and Samuel Sanderson received severe bruises and Conductor Brown had one of his hands badly eut. The other occupants of the car escaped with 4 severe shaking up. —_— .

Hundreds of Men Compelled to Await the Melting of the Snow. MANY VESSELS ARE OVERDUE. California Expeditions That May Have Been Lost—Excelsior Party’s New Town. SEATTLE, WasH., May 3.—The steamer Lakme, four weeks out, reached Seattle at 1 o’clock this morning from Cooks Inlet, after a fine passage both ways. On board was Will A, Steel, secretary of the Wash- ington Press Association, who reports his observations as follows: “The rush this spring to the gold dis- trict of Turnagain Bay, Cooks Inlet, was unprecedented. Although comparatively unexplored, numerous creeks on the bay have given up gold dust and nuggets of such value as to encourage the hopes of prospectors, numbering into thousands, that wealth may be rapidly amassed there. During the past six weeks a score of ves- sels have headed for far Alaskan shores; but they all started too early this vear, for an unexceptionally severe winter has left its impress in huge cakes of ice that have not yet been blown out to sea and snow that still remains on the ground to a depth of several feet. A fleet of vessels is lying off Coal Point, in Kachekinak Bay, awaiting a favorable opportunity to go 100 miles farther up the inlet. “I spent two weeks cruising on the inlet and from a careful examination of the ex- isting conditions and authenticated re- ports of developments and finds along numerous creeks, am firmly of the opinion that the proper kind of men hazard no chance in casting their lines into the golden waters that flow into the inlet. Every creek and river shows traces of fine gold, which increases in coarseness as the streams are ascended, while pieces of gold-bearing quartz are frequently found in placers, demonstrating that farther back toward the mountains are mother ledges. Auriferous deposits cover a terri- tory of aimost unknown extent, while prospecting thus far has been compara- tively slight. *‘It was late in the summer of 1894 that the first discovery of coarse gold diggings was made in Resurrection und Six-mile creeks. In early spring, 1895, a couple of hundred men were on the ground, with the idea that they had but to reach out and gather in a golden harvest. Many of these men wandered around from creek to creek, without concentrating their efforts at any particular place. As a consequence their findings were meager, and by the middle of the summer possibly 100 had taken their departure. But there were many old-time, practical placer miners who soon realized that they were in a country of rich promise. They went up the creeks and back into the hills and gulcbes prospecting, with remunerative returns. They found that Six-mile, Canyon, Ressurrection and other creeks contained bars bearing coarse gold. “Before the summer was oyer 150 pros- pectors took up claims, many working them as late as November 1, realizing from $10 to $20 per day, and in exceptional cases, as high as $50 per day. The claims are 600 by 1500 feet in size, comprising twenty acres, one claim allowed on each creek, and the only cost being $2 for recording. “At Bitka, Fort Kenai, Kussilof, Coal Point and other plsces on the inlet I met and talked with prospectors who have claims on the creeks and worked them late last year. Several had but recently come down on snowshoes and were awaiting an opportunity to get back by boat. All were positive in the belief that a gold field was about to be opened up that would bring forth untold wealth, and in a few years give the persevering prospector a com- petency for life. *Probably 1000 men are now on the inlet waiting to get to the creeks. Several hun- dred more went from Sitka to Prince Wil- liam Sound, there to cross a portage twenty-five miles, half of which is a glacier, when the head of Turnagain Bay can be reached. Boats will then take them down stream fifteen miles to Six- Mile Creek, or twenty-five miles to Resur- rection, twelve miles beyond being the mouth of the bay. A large number of stores will be opened at different settle- ments. “Representatives of the Boston-Alaska Company, numbering sixty, who left San Francisco on the steamer Excelsior, have taken possession of Coal Point, astrip five miles long, laid out streets and called the town Homer. Major Homer Pennock is chief of the expedition and A. E. Guil- bault superintendent. Both are from Oakland, Cal., as are also most of the other prominent men. “A fine quality of lignite coal is found in inexhaustible quantitiesin the surrounding hills. The company will build a railroad and bunkers from which coal will be shipped to San Francisco. They have already built a big floater, 72 by 24 feet, to hold 140 tons of freight. The steamer General Canby has been chartered and will bring supplies and sixteen men from Beattle. The manager says most of the party are going to Turnagain Bay to mine gold, but many think that their hydraalic machinery is to work gold deposits near Coal Point. A petition fora postoffice at Homer has been sent to Washington. “The steamer Lakme carried over 200 passengers and 175 tons of freight. Leay- ing Seattle on April5, it reached Cooks In- let on the 12th and remsained until the 25th. During that time three attempts were made to get through the ice up to Tunagain Bay without success. Captain Anderson exercised due precaution and refused to imperil the lives of his passen- gers and the safety of the steamer by listening to the reckless entreaties of many of the gold-bunters, who were anxious to reach their destination. They were lanaed at Coal Point, 86 tents pitched and Camp Andersonville established. ‘Arrangements were made whereby the steamer Utopia, which was also anchored off the point with 102 passengers, was to take the Lakme passengers to Six-mile Creek wken the ice was cleared. *‘Captain John A. O’Brien of the Utopia was seriously ill for ten days with stom- ach trouble, but Dr. Rogers of Oakland, who is on the vpoint, successfully per- formed an operation that relieved him. He is rapidly recuperating. Captain Ches- ter, who went as pilot, was given tempo- rary command of the Utopia. “The schooner Lincoln, which left Seat- tle with twenty-one passengers on March 7 for Cooks Inlet, bad not been sighted up to April 25. Grave fears are felt that she has been lost. The Hope, a small scuooner that plies between the villages on Cooks Inley, sailed from Kodiak on Aprll 14 for Coal Point with considerable mail for the Boston-Alaska Company. This distance is only 100 miles. For twelve days noth- ing was heard of her, and much anxiety exists in consequence. ““When the Lakme left Coal Point, on April 25, nothing had been seen of the steamer Hattie Gage, the bark Theobald, the barkentine Marion or the schooner Sutherland, which vessels left San Fran- cisco on April 1 to 5 for the inlet. Neither had the Lizzie B, Berry, Prescott or Canby from Seattle been sighted. The Seattle vessels anchored off the point are the Utopia and the schooners Bryant, Loyal, Stella Erland, Helen and Ellen Johnson. The ship Prussia, with cannery supplies, anchored off Kussilof on April 19. The steamer Jennie expected o have her un- loaded by May 1. “Joseph C. Lane, customs inspector at Kodiak Island, died at St. Pauls on April 15. He was ill with stomach troubles since last fall ana for five weeks before his death could eat nothing. He wasted away al- most to a skeleton. Lane formerly resided in Oregon.” MARE ISLAND GOSSIP, Flagship Philadelpbia Goes Into Dock to Be Scraped and Painted. Burial of Two Navy-Yard Employes Who Lost Their Lives While on Duty. VALLEJO, CAL, May 3.—The flagship Philadelphia will arrive at the navy-yard Tuesday, and the following day will be taken into dock for the customary scrap- ing and painting. The cruiser will prob- ably remain here several weeks, though but little work will be done on it. Ad miral Beardslee has been designated as president of the board to go out on the Oregon’s trial trip. It has not yet been settled whether the Monadnock will go to Santa Barbara Channei toact as one of the stakeboats or not. The monitor is ready for sea. A delight- ful party was held on board Saturday afternoon, which was largely attended by officers and their families from the station and ships. A number of army people came over from the barracks at Benicia. Masic was furnished by the band from the Independence. The ever-welcome Fish Commission steamer Albatross came up to the yard during the past week and is lying along- side the quay wall. About the middle of the coming week the Petrel and Concord will come to the island and after the vessel inspection is leld it s the intention to put each of the gunboats out of commission. Some of the men will be sent East, while others will be retained for the Oregon, Shonld money become available the two little gunboats wiil be placed in the hands of the mechanics for a general overhaul- ing, which they are reported to be badly in need of. The funeral of Nels Gabrielson, late boatswain’s mate on the McArthur, who was drowned off Sausalito Friday last, took place at the vard Feu!erdsy afternoon, and to-day the funeral of James Cluskey took place at the yard. Ciuskey fell down a bhatchway on the Independence, and was H ir;jured 80 badly that death ensued shortly after. Friends of Miss McCalla regret the in- jury sustained by her while at San Fran- cisco Fridai. In attempting to alight from a car she fell, breaking her ankle in two places. It is not intimated at the yard who the | probable successor of Commandant Howi- son, in command of the yard, will be. His three vears will expire in July coming. it MAY SUE FOR DAMAGES. Ex-Senator Campbell Angered by a Newspaper Comment. VALLEJO, CaL, May 3.—Ex-Senator George J. Campbell 1s about to sue City Trustee John A. Browne because the lat- ter charged him with having obtained money from the old Lake Chabot Water Company for services rendered them in the late city water fight. In an answer by Campbell in this morning’s News to the charge as published by Browne in the Chronicle a few days ago, he savs he will try to have Browne make that statement “not in a newspaper ariicle, but where he will be more careful of his words,”” leaving the reader to infer he will prosecute Browne on a charge of misrepresentation. Browne charges among other things that Campbell came from Ireland, to which this reply is made: The man of unpronounceable words wishes to remind the readers oi bis screed that we were born in Irel: We confess judgment without trial and say that we are rather proud of the fact. Better men than we have been born, raised and nurtured on the soil of that— to_us dear—but unfortunate island. We are glad that Mr. Erowne, in his allusion to the “howlof the Banshee of your native land,” tries to taunt us by caliing us Irish. We thank a kind providence that such ver- min as he were not spawned on the Green Isle where the Banshee doth ery for the coming loss of & gentle spirit. Before the controversy is over, as each of the contestants 1s hot-headed, there may be war and without words. LS gt e Pire Department Affairs.

Sacramento Wheelmen the Fictims of a Miscreant’s Malice. SACRAMENTO, CAn, May 3.—The Capital City Wheelmen to-day took a run to J. G. Patterson’s place, twelve miles out, on the bank of the American River, where Mrs. Patterson hed prepared to give them a pi caic. The route was over the new wheel way, alongside the public road, which cost sey- eral thousand dollars to prepare. Last night some miscreant scatte. tacks at intervals along the wheelway ana nearly every rider bad his tires punctured.

Cock Still Leads in the Race for the Leadership of the Maskers. HEALDSBURG, Cav., May 3.—This city has presented a more enlivened appear- ance to-day than is usually seen here on Bunday. Decorators have worked from early morn preparing for the festival to begin next Wednesday. The threatening weather was not all that could be wished for; nevertheless th2 work goes on just as though the sun was shining brightly. The towers and arches are completed and the finishing touches are being put to the cupola of the city hall. The city will be reacy for visitors on the opening day, but visitors are even now making their appear- ance: The entries for the bicycle races closed last night. In the ten races 103 men have entered and the managers of the local cycling club are happy. The heavy rains of the past week have done no damage to the new track, which is being used to-day for training. Entries for the floral parade are also coming in rapidly. - One float will be brought down from Hopland, Mendocino County; two from Cloverdale; two from Geyserville; three from Littoris; two from Windsor; while Santa Rosa, Peta- luma, Sebastopol and Guerneville will make fine aisplays. Nineteen floats will be entered from Healdsburg, besides a large number of decorated equipages. The Veteran Fireman's Association of San® Francisco will not be the only fire laddies in the parade. Indeed, an entire division will be made up of the Fire Department of Petaluma, Sebastopol, Cloverdale, Ukiah and Healdsburg. Three military companies and five bands will be in line. The Calithumpians of Sonoma County are to be out in full force. A spirited con- test is now on to see who will be chosen king of these merry maskers. Above 400 votes went in the ballot-box yesterday, and F. E. Cook is still leading J. C. Keene by a small majority. The contest closes to- morrow night. Outriders for the Calithumpians were scurrying over the country to-day, gather- ing all the mules and donkeys to be had, for they will be needed for the parade of this organization on Thursday afternoon. The King will be crowned Wednesday afternoon on the plaza. Seats for the visitors are being put up all along the line of march, and thirteen restaurants have been licensed to do busi- ness during festival days. WATSONWILLES - GUESTS Grand Court of Foresters to be Given an Enthusiastic Greeting. Varied Entertainment Provided for Each Day of the Delegates’ Sojourn.

Cannerymen Yield to the Demand of the Fishermen. ASTORIA, Og., May 3.—'‘Salmon-fishing will begin on the Columbia River the present week for a certainty,” said the manager of the largest cannery in Astoria to-day. “The demands of the fishermen for 5 cents per pound will be granted. Up to the present time neither cannerymen nor fishermen have been losers by the delay, asthe weather has been uniayoraole and few fish in the river.” M. J. Kinney has for some weeks been been willing to pay the fishermen 5 cents per pound, bat other cannery men refused to release him from his compact. The Fishermen's Union, knowing the feelin, of Kinney, offered to furnish bim with boats for the season and stay by him throughout the season if he would pay 5 cents. He submitted the offer to the cannery men, stating that he would accept unless the combine made some progress in a set- tlement of the differences. The cannery men realized the effect of this ana agreed 50 be ready for all to go to work in a few ays. NEW TO-DAY.
