-4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1896. MARK HANNA AT THE WHITE HOUSE Pleasant Meeting Between the Republican Leader and the President. Amusing Incidents of the Late Campaign Related by the Visitors. Obj ct of the Trip to Washington Is to Make F.nal Arrang'ments for the Inaugural. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 5.—Mark Hanna's presence in Washington to-day did not give rise to a flood of Cabinet speculation that had been anticipated, for the very satisfactory reason that he an- nouncea early tnis morning that he was here to periect arrangements for Mr. Mc- Kinley’s inauguration and not to cousult with any one with respect to their Cabinet preference. Neither would Mr. Hanna throw any light on the report that he| himself would be a member of Mr. Mc- McKinley’s official household. There 1s a well defined opinion among those who have an intelligent understand- ing of the situation that while Mr. Hanna could have any appointment under the President-elect that he desires, he wishes toremain 1n private life and that will be his ultimate decision, The Secretaryship of the Treasury, to which popular report has assigned him, will, it 1s thought, be given to Congressman Dingley of Maine. The only objection to his appointment is the difficulty of finding a suitable suc- cessor for him in the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee. Mr. Di bas had solongand va- ried an experience in the House, and he is so thoroughly familiar with the intrica- cies of the tariff that it is feared the party would be a distinct loser by removing him from the arena in which be has been so long a conspicuous fizure. It is this consideration and this only that militates against his chances. There are many, however, who assert thatthe | Treasury portfolio will be given to him notwithstanding these objections, al-| though it is confidently stated thatupto | the present time no tender of a Cabinet place has been made tc any one. The gossip which connects Senator Sherman’s name with the State Depart- ment is thought to rest upon a reasonable basis of probability, but it is denied that | M:. Hanna's presence in Washington is to confer with him respecting the matter. It is r rded as more likely that Mr. Hanna is more interested in learning the views of public men upon questions of policy than in selecting members of the Cabiret. Mc. Hanna to-day met President Cleve- fand for the first time. He was intro- duced by General Horace Parter of New York, the other gentlemen in the party being Senator Proctor of Vermont, Repre- sentative Babcock of Wisconsin and Henry C. Payne, the National Committee- | man from that State. Their stay did not exceed fifteen minutes. The time was consumed in an informal chat, in which the President and his vis- itors related several amusing incidents of the late campaign, but beyond this poli- ties were not discussed. The President was in an agreeable frame of mind and Mr. Hanna remarked, after leaving the White House, upon the courtesy and affa- i bility with which Mr. Cleveland had greeted them. e McKINLEY'S PRIVATESECRETARY. Perry 8. Heath Will Probably Be Se- tected for the Place. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 5—It is gossiped here among the friends of Perry 8. Heath that he aspires to be private secretary to President-elect McKinley. Mr. Heath’s home is at Muncie, Ind. For fourteen years ne was a Washington cor- respondent, and acquired a wide acquaint- ancs with public men. Mr. Heath was for eight or nine years Washington corre- spondent of the Indianapolis Journal. He might have been made private sec- retary to President Harrison, but did notv press his claims for that position, so Eiijah Halford, his former managing ed- itor, received the appointment. Mr. Heath was an intimate friend of Major McKinley ‘when the latter wasa member of Ton- gress, and when Heath became editor and proprietor of the Cincinnati Commerciai Gazette he immediately commenced to boom his friend the major for the Presi- dency. Heath was at the 8t. Louis Convention in charge of the literary bureau at the Southern Hotel, and he did his work so well that after McKinley’s nomination he was made chief of the bureau of literature at the Chicago Republican campaign headquarters. Itis believed that McKin- ley has decided upon Mr. Heath for pri- vate secretary. This pleases the old-time friends of the ex-Washington correspondent, and all along newsrpaner row is expressed the hope that Mr. Heath may be highly hon- ored by ‘the incoming administration. Mr. Heath iz now en route to Mexico, and will return to Indiana by Christmas. E: Rl HONORED BY THE VETERANMS. Grand Army Men lirjoice in the Eleva- tion of Comrade McKinley. CANTON, Onro, Dec. 5.—The President- elect had another active day. Congress- men were numerous and office-seekers who came to make ‘sccial calls” were more numerous. Representative Albert J. Hopkins of the Eighth Illinois District was an early caller and had a long talk with Major McKinley. Mr. Hopkins 1s chairman of the Ways and Means Sub-committee on Recipro- citv and it was of reciprocity legislation he came to talk. He carried away the impression that Major McKinley would glaaly support any suitable legislation de- sired to redeem the promisc of the Repub- lican National platform on the subject of reciprocity. Representative George E. Foss of 1llinois was also a caller at the McKinley resi- dence ‘to-day. He lunched with Major McKinley, and joined him and Charles G. Dawes in a short walk about the streets of Canton at noon. Mr. Foss is a member of the Commistee on Naval Affairs, and told the President-elect something of the work the eommittee had in hand. The local Grand Army post, of which Major McKinley is a member, has adopted these resolutions: ““Whereas, Our esteemed comrade Major Wiliiam McKinley has been honored and 1 triumphantly elected to the highest office in the gift of the people of the grandest and most powerful republic the world has ever seen; and, whereas, Lis election. has been accomplished by such an abso- lute majority of votes as to make it an epoch in the history _of our nation, adding to his triumph & die- tinction never before accorded to a Prest- dent-elect ana thereby reflecting honor and credit not only on him as a man and a citizen, but on us as his comrades, and on this post, in which he has always been an honored comrade; therefore, “Resolved, That we do most heartily congratulate Comrade McKinley, not only on the-unparalleled and brilliant cam- paign he conducted, but on his election to the most exalted office he has been called to fill. “Resolved, That this memorial be pre- served on the records of this postanda copy be sent to our distinguished com- rade.”” S Rl FOR REPUBLICAN ELECTORS. Attorney Wood Serks a Writ of Man- damus in South Dakota. PIERRE, 8. D., Dzc. 5—At 8 o’clock to-night Attorney Richard Wood, one of the Republican electors, appeared before the Supreme Court and asked for an al- ternative writ of mandamus ordering that certiticates of election be given to the Republican electors on the vote as now before the board, excluding the votes of Lawrence and Butte counties, which give the Populists about 700 majority and the leaving out of which would give the Re- publican electors a majority. The court refused to grant an alterna- tive writ, but granted an order to show cause why a peremptory writ should not issue ard set the answering of the same for December 12. No action was taken in regard to the count on Congress- men and it cannot be learned whether any action will be taken or not. R SR Contests in Idaho. POCATELLO, Ipano, Dec. 5.—Contests have been commenced against three Du- bois members of the Legislature in Bing- ham County, and the statement is made that the four Dubois members-elect will be contested in Bannock County and two in Fremont County. The Populists are behind the contests, the chief allegation being that the candidates were on two tickets. The seat of Frank A. Fenn, the only McKinley supporter elected to the Legislature, has also been contested. O Nevada and New Mexico Iteturns. CARSON, NEv., Dec. 5.—The Secretary of State received to-day the complete election returns from the State. Bryan and Sewall received 7782, Bryan and Wat- and McKinley and Hobart 1938. SANTA FE, N. Mex., Dec. 5.—Terri- torial Secretary Miller has canvassed the official vote of the Territory for Congres- sional delegate, resulting as fullow: Ferguson (D.) 13,947, Catron (R.) 17,017, scatlering 1. Ferguson’s plurality 1930, L A e Speaker Reed in Washington. WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. 5.—Speaker Reed reached Washington this evenin accompanied by Mrs, Reed and his daoghter. They have resumed their old apartments at the Shoreham. The Speaker declined to see any one this even- ing, aud retired early. LA Sound-Money Democrats Barred. ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky., Dec. 5.—The silver Democratic committee of the Tenth Judicial District this morning adopted a resolution barring sound-money Demo- crats from taking part in next spring's primaries. PANIC AMONG PASSENGERS. Frantc Attempts of a Demented Woman to Commit Suicide in a Crowded Railroad Car. CHICAGO, Irn., Dec. 5—Mrs. Annie Weinstein, a demented woman, who had been an inmate of the poorhouse at Dun- ning and had left that institution after a quarrel with employes, frightened a car- load of passengers into a panic this morn- ing on a St. Paul line train which was coming into the city from Dunning. She rushed across the aisle of the car, grabbed a knife violently from the hand of a man who was using it to peel an apple and running to &n end of the car made a frantic attempt to kill herself. sShe waved the weapon In the air, uttering piercing screams at some imaginary object and tried several times to run the kuife into her heart. Men were afraid to go near her and women scramblea out of the car. Two passengers finally overpowered her. Being more composed when the train reached Chicago the woman was allowed to go her own way. aE . o TEa ONLY ONE MURVIFOR. ZLoss of the Schooner Noyes Off the North Carolina Coast. SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 5.—The British steamship Straithnairn, Captain Nuning, which arrived at this port to-day from Delaware breakwater, brougnt Erick Stocklasse, a Swedish sailor, who was picked up Friday, clinging to a smali hatch floating in the Guif Stream off the coast of North Carolina. Stocklasse was the only survivor of the schooner Frank M. Noyes, Captain Asquini, bound from San Andreas Island for Baltimore with a cargo of fruit, The vessel capsized ‘Wednesday morning at 1 o’clock and all on board were drowned except Stock- lasse and Arthur Crosse of Springfield, Mass., who clung to one of the vessel's hatches. Crosse became exhausted, after being in the water until Thursday night, and bidding his shipmates farewell sank into the sea. The number of men in the crew is unknown. Confession of a Murder. RICHMOND, Mo., Dec. 5.—Six weeks azo this place was startled by the discoy- ery of the dead bodies of Mrs, Jessie Win- ner and her two little children in their cabin on the outskirts of the town. Sus- picion attached to the husband as the mur- derer and he was arrested. To-day Mag- gie Catron, a woman with whom Winner was intimate, made the followin- state- ment: ‘‘On the night of the murder Jes- sie Winner, Con Lackey and Jim Nelson toox a buggy belonging to Mr. Hubbell and drove to the Winner home. Lackey hela the horse while Winner killed his wife and Nelson killea the children.” The feeling is very strong against Winner and he may be lynched. s DN A A Fire in a Grocery-Store, NEW ORLEANS, LA, Dec. 5.—Fire broke out this morning in the wholesale grocery-store of B. H. Flasholler & Son, on Tchoupitoulas street, near Natchez, and totally destroyed the stock and build- ing, The loss is $80,000, fully insured. The fire spread to the building occunied by the J. C. Morris Company, dealers in wooden and willow ware, and destroyed it, together with a stock of $75,000, covered by insurance. The buildings occupied by H. & 8. Blum and Jacob Maas were also destroyed. The stock was partially de- wolished. The cause of the fire is un- known. e : Overcome by Sewer Gans. BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 5.—Last night three persons’ were aspbyxiated on Newcome street, Roxbury, and four persons were overcome in an adjoining house by sewer gas. Allthose affected were colored people. TURN MASSACRES INTO *VICTORIES" Treacherous Surprise of a Cuban Hospital by Spaniards, Forty - Five Helpless Inmates Slaughtered by the Lying Butchers: ! Captain.General Weyvler Takes the Field Becauss Ordered to Do So by Superiors. KEY WEST, Fra.,, Dec. 5.—Passengers who arrived to-night from Havana give interesting information as to the condition of affairs in Cuba. Feverish excitement prevails 1n Havana since the rumor spread that Weyler intended to return, announcing, as reported, that he had pacified the province of Pinar del Rio, when it is a known fact that Maceo re- mains, bidding defiance to all forces sent to crush him. The Spanish are bitter against Weyler’s unsuccessful effort, and say his return will mean defeat. The official statement of pacification is ridiculed in the face of the number of rebels in the province and the activity displayed recently. Weyler has established headquarters at Los Palmicos and sends cclumns to sweep the country, Jeaving trails of fire and blood. All pris- oners captured are killed on the spot. All who surrender are also killed. The Span- jards are horrified at such slaughter and destruction. Melunizo’s reported victory was simply o treacherous surprise of a Cuban hospital. Forty-five helpless inmates were slaugh- tered. Meanwhile the rebels are display- ing activity all around. 1t is said that under cover of the attack a body of 400 insurgents crossed the linein- to Pinar del Rio and last night again at- tacked the trocha at Zayas station. The losses are unknown. When the rebels entered Guanabacoa Tuesday, tbe night after burning twenty- six houses and looting several stores, they announced that they would soon return and carried out their threat, as last night the town was again attacked, several houses were burned and other stores sacked, despite the garrison had been re- enforced. Besides, at Guanabacoa the rebels lately attacked and burned many houses at Arrayo, Naranjo, El Cano, Santa Maria, all within a radius of fifteen miles of Havana. The glares of fires are nightly seen in ibe city. Itissaid that news has been re- ceived at the palace that Colonel Aldea had a serious encounter with Lacret at Purgatroio Hills in Matanzas. The Span- ish admit they suffered a loss of seventy- five, but claim the victory, saying they killed 300 rebels. It is reported as soon as Weyler returns a delegation of Spanish planters will peti-| tion to be allowed to start grinaing. In case of refusal they will cable to Madrid asking Weyler’s recall. Among Spaniards Weyler is considered doomed. It is considered siznificant that ne received a curt message from the Min- ister of War saying, “Salga operaciones,’” that 1s, *“Take the fiefd.” HAVANA, Cusa, Dec. 5.—Major Ciru- geda, with the San Quetine battalion, after & march entailing great hardships, has captured the rebel position in the Baracoa Hills, near Junta Brava, in the Havana province. The fight lasted two hours, at the ex- piration of which the rebels were dis- persed, leaving in their flight thirty-three of their dead on _the field and carrying away a great many more. The losses of the troops were oneé man killed and a cap- tain and ten privates wounded. Colonel Aldea, with 160 men, has had a battle in the Purgatorio Hills, near Saban- illa, in the Matanzas province, which re- sulted in his capturing the rebel position. The rebels, strong in numbers, made several rallies, but were repulsed by cavalry charges. The rebels were finally all driven from the field, from which they carried many of their dead. The Spanish losses were twenty-four privates killed and two lieutenants and forty-nine privates wounded. Colonel Aldea himself was badly bruised, The losses of the insurgents are esti- mated at 300 killed and wounded. Captain Cabello, with another fraction of the Spanish forces, had a fight at La- guna with a party of rebels under Juan Armada, killing the rebel leader and eight- een of his followers. The troops lost two killed and two wounded. et HAVANA 1y THREATENED, Gomez and His Followers Make Raids When They Please. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 5,.—Among the passengers on the steamship Vigilan- cia, which has just arrived from Havana, was 8 young American who has been en- gaged in business in Havana for several years. Just before the steamer sailed, he says, |- rumors were spread about the city to the effect that the insurgents were displaying unusual activity in the provinces of Matanzas, Pinar del Rio and Santa Clara. A body of daring horsemen dashed up to within six miles of Havana, burned a plantation and escaped before the squad- ron of cavalry sent out to meet them got to the scene. Such incidents as this, which a short time ago would have created a profound sensation, are alarmingly frequent now, the American said. They produce the double effect of demoralizing the Spanish soldiery and shaking the belief of resi- dents of the city in the ability of Weyler to keep the insurgents away from Havana. Outwardly the city is quiet, but under the surfacé there is much dizappointment at the manacement of the Spaniapds in both the military and civic departments. A third of the inhabitants are iriends of the revolution and many others sympa- thize with it. The rest are with the Span- ish. The Government cannot punish men now as it could formerly for treasonable utterances, as it is afraid of precipitating serious trouble. Gomez 1s now investing the town of Santa Clara. He cut off the garrison from allcommunication with the outside world, and unless relief comes soon the town will surely fall intg his hands. His cay- | alry has been particularly active in de- stroying property parties.” <y % The hopes of the patriots in Havana have been greatly heightened by these ex- ploits, They think it 13 only a question ‘ana cutting off foragiug. of time when Gomez will be under the walls of Havana itself. The Americans in Havana, pearlyall of whom are in sympathy withthe revolution, are not so sanguine, but they believe that if Gomez | and Maceo hold out until Presidert-elect McKinley is inaugurated and the new Congress is in session, when American in- tervention is expected, they will win. The Americans do not lay much store by public sentiment in Havana, because the Cuban is as easily elated by victory as he is depressed by defeat. The American contingent is the only part of the foreign colony in Havana which leans toward the rebellion. This probably accounts for the intense hatred the Spaniards entertain to- ward Americans. ¥ The Germans, Frenchmen and English- men all incline toward the Spanish side, and have given Weyler numerous as- surances of their sympathy. An incident occurred the other day which painfully illustrates the discred:t into which American citizenship has fallen. An American bookseller of the name of Wilson with a place in one of the princi- pal streets had a sign out in front of his store which read ‘The American Book- store.” In one of the outbursts of Spanish wrath following the Newcastle (Del.) flag incident a crowd coliected about the store and threatened to loot it. Wiison became frightened and changed the sign to “The English Bookstore.”” There were no more threats made. RESTORATION OF TONNAGE DUES. German Newspapers Declare That Cleve- land Issued the Proclamation to In- crease His Own Popularity. BERLIN, GErRMANY, Dec. 5,—Comment- ing upon the proclamation of President Cleveland restoring tonnage dues upon German vessels, the National Zeitung says that the tornage dues at Hamburg, Bremen and other ports wil! surely be in- creased, but solely for the purpose of im- proving the harbors for the general bene- fit of shipping, and not for state purposes, as in America. “Foreigners having their own wharves in Germany,”’ the paper adds, ‘“‘German shippers must build their own wharves in América; Germany will now be deprived of the advantages she obtained in 1888, the sacrifice being imposed upon German ship-owners.” The Freissinnige Zeitung estimates that the North German Lloyd Steamship Com- pany alone will be subjected to an in- creased expenditare of 150,000 marks and the Hamburg-American line will suffer to almost as great an extent, The Cologne Gazette regards President Cleveland’s proclamation as an effort on | his part to retire from office in a blaze of glory. The President’s assertion that state tonnage dues are levied at German ports, however, is erroneous, as the dues imposed are solely for the use oi special port facilities. In conclusion the Gazette | expresses hope that in the enforcement of the proclamation ‘‘even in the case of Germans in America,” the American courts will see that toe principle of right and justice is upheld, and that meanwhile Germany may convince America that such an infringement of German rights cannot be accepted. EIGHTEEN THOUSAND WORDS, The President’s Message Will Be a Most Exhaustive Document. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 5—W. H. Crook, disbursing clerk of the White House, will leave this city to-morrow afternoon ¢harged with the duty of ais- tributing the President’s message to the press so that it can be published contem- poraneously with its delivery to Congress. The two official copies intended for formal presentation to the Senate and House will be in_writing according to un- failing custom. The preparation 6; these manuscript copies is no light task inas- much as the present message is under- stood to make nearly eighteen thousand words, The agent of the President will deliver the printed copies of the message to the postmasters of Baltimore, Puila- delphia and New York with directions to furnish copivs to the managers of the United Associated Presses to be re'eased when the message reaches Congress. SR Opposed to Concessions. WABHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 5. — The members of the joint Congressional Com- mittee appointed to investigate and re- port upon the matter o! internal revenue | regulations, with a view to permitting tie use of free alcotol in the arts, returned to- day from New York, where they have been investigaiing the matter. No con- clusion has been reached on the subject, but it is understood that a majority of the committee are opposed to any concession in the desired direction being made. ey Germany Enters a Profest. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 5. — The formal protest of the German Government against the proclamation of the President reimposing the tonnage tax on German vessels in American ports, has been re- ceived at the Department of State. The President’s reply to this protest and his reassertion of the grounds on which the United States’ action has been taken will probably be made before Congress in the message on Monday next.
