THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1896. ANTONID MACEQ 1§ YET ALIVE At Least the Cubans Deny the Report of the Spanish. faid to Be fae in Pinar del Rio and Worrying General Wey'ler. Advices That Escape Censorship Show Clearly That the Insurgents Gain Ground Daily. DALLAS, Tex., Dec. 10.—The head of the local Cu mmittee to-day received dispatches from Key West, Fla., contain- ing an absolute denial of the Spanish re- port from Havana of the alleged death of Antonio Muceo. The dispatch states that at 10 o’clock last night Maceo was safe in Pinar del Rio Province, and his army was ng successful operations against »tain-General Weyler; that by the turn- of Weyler’'s left flank, on December 1, Maceo had captured more than 12,000 stands of arms and an immense quantity of smmunition, medicines and commissary plies. The dispatch also states that within the next three days the Cubans are likely to n Weyler's other flank and win a de- cisive victory. Franeisco Gomez has not been with Maceo in any of his recent movements and is safe in Matanzas province. The head of the local commit- tee said: **‘We know positively that the most sen- sational and glorious news for the patriots will come from Cuba on or about Decem- ber 15. Texas is doing more to help the patriots than any other Stste just now and is favorably located for eifective aid. Gal- veston will be in closer connection with Key West than any otber city in the East for some time to come.” Colonel J. C. Tezeveant, president of the Texas Stats Fair and Dallas Exposition, 1a & Confederate officer of prominerce, consented to preside over a meeting in aid of the Cubans to be held next Sunday. An effort will be mads to have a number of ex-Confederate and ex-Union soldiers at the meeting. The object of the meet- ng is to give a moral support to Senator | in pressing his Cuban bill in Con- | the | M Luis Per the head of < Cuban Junta, and other prominent ban leaders in Texas have been invited e present.

HAVANA, Cusa, Dec. 10.—Up to the t me of sending this dispatch this evening notbing has been heard of the where- abouts of Maceo’s body, and nothing fur- ther has transpired i o confirm the reports of his death. La Lucha, the Government organ, is the first paper here to speak editorially of President Cleveland’s message. It pub- lishes a long leader, in which it examines all the points of the Cuban paragraph of the message and makes severe criticisms of the whole. The papsr makes a vigor- ous protest against the aggressive parts of the message. It says amongother things: “The message is no more nor no less than a series of hypotheses. It cannot please Spain, but it does not wrong her.”” It adds that Spaniards cannot admit intervention in the crown affairs. They bave spirit enough to repulse impositions and will accept nothing degrading to con- duct their own affairs, When their honor is concerned they are of the same ranks as the people of the most poweriful and colossal nation. La Union Constitucional says the lec- ture is unpleasant to Spain, but admits that Mr. Cleveland’s lacguage lacks haughtiness when compared witn that which he bas used toward other powers. It adds that it expects that the message will result more favorably to 8pain. The tone of the article throughoat is rather mild. The Diario de la Marina, La Pais and El Comercio make no editorial comment on the message. SEVENTY-EIGHT PERSONS PERISH. Loss of the North German Lloyd Steamer Sa’iere During a Gale Off Villa Gracia. BREMEN, GerMANY, Dec. 10.—A dis- patch from Corunna, coast of Epain, says: The North German Lloyd steamer Saliere m Bremen for Buenos Ayres is reported dered off Villa Gracia. The fate of e on board is not known. LOXDON, Exc., Dec. 11.—Lloyd's agent at Vigo telegraphs that the Saliere has been totally lost on the Coronas Corrubeda shoals. Not a single person on board tbe steamer was saved. It is believed in Lon- don that the disaster occurred on Tues- day. when a terrible gale along tke I-;u- ropean Atlantic coasts did extensive damage to shipping. VIGO, tpars, Dec. 10.—It is reported here that the Saliere carried a crew num bering seventy-eight peruons. * BERLIN, GermMANY, Dec. 10.—Persistent reports reach here from Madrid that more than 200 emierants took passage on the galier at Corunna and that all of them were lost.

MUSIC MAY REPLACE MEDICINE. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 10.—Preparations are under way in this city for en important sxperlme:lt in medical treatment by sound vibrations. The power of music to heal has been scientifically determined. Several years lgo.the 8t. Cecilia Society was organized in London for a practical test of the effect of music upon certain forms of nervous diseases. Its membership was made up of prominent physicians and skilled musicians—the former to direct and the latter to exe- Gradually the idea has been developed among medical men here that a similar aid to the treatment of ?ervou troubles was possible. Several prominent physicians have taken the matter up, and plans are under discussion which promise the speedy organization of an American St. Cecilia Society. Recent remarkably;successful experiments by Profeuo'r: Tarcha- noff of St. Petersburg, Masso of Turin and Tere of Paris have rekindled interest in sound vibrations asa medical agent, and a practical application of the science as now proposed has met with cordial approval here. Activg among the scienti- fic men interested in this movement is Dr. Fredenck Peterson, a neurologist, who explained the principles of the new said he, “‘but thers Dr. George W. Jacoby, & well-known alienist, and Orton Bradley, a pianist, expressed themselves much in favor of the jdea. Several years ago two or three physicians tested the medical eficacy of music by experiments among the insane patients on Randalls Isiand. Four hundred women were congregated in the main hall of the asylum and subjected to a single strain of piano music for balf an hour. The general effect was to raise the pulse and create restlessness.

Of the passengers on board the Elbe, all were lost except twenty-two, most of whom were members of the crew. Dot CLAINS OF VENEZUELA. Senor Thomas Declares That "the South- ern Republic Is Not Fairly Treated in the New Treaty. NEW YORK, Y., Dec. 10.—A special | cable to the Herald from Caracas, Vene- | zuela, says: Senor Andrade, Minister to the United States, and Mr. Storrow, coun- | gol for tie Government in the boundary will remhin here for the controversy, present. The official reason for this change of | programme is that the documents relat- ing to the question, including the memo- | randa upon which a treaty between this country and Great Britain will be based, are in an incomplete state. This reason, however, is regarded by the public asex- ing only half the situation. t 15 said that the Minister tothe United States and the Venezuelan Consul are to await papers of a very important char- acter. : There is, in fact, a strong feeling 1n the popular mind against excluding Vene- zuela from direct representation on the | arb:tration tribunal which will be formed to adjust the boundary between Venezuela and British Guiana. This sentiment has been mentioned ina letter to Senor Tholmas, formerly Minis- ter to Great Britain. The words of Senor | Tholmas have created a sensation. He says the solution of the Anglo-Venezuelan o proposed by the United States madequate to meet the main points at issue and does not fulfill the promises originally made to the Govern- ment of Venezuela. | Senor Tholmas says further that the heads of the proposed treaty show ex- clusively that it is constructed wholly upon a combination of Anglo-American interests. In not recogn'zing Venezuela as a sovercign state, Senor Tho!mas de- clares, the United Statesand Great Britain insult the southern republic, and he con- cludes with the statement thatit would be far better for Venczuela to loseall forcibly than to agree to the present terms of the protocol. —- FRANTIC ITALIAN DEPUTIES. Wild Scenes in the Chamber Nearly Lead to @ Battle. ROME, Itary, Dec. 10.—There was a violent scene in the Chamber of Deputies | growing out of an attack made upon Gen- eral Mocenna, ex-Minister of War, in the conferring of decorations upon officers and | others who took part in the recent disas- trous Abyssinian campaign. General Mocenna attempted to defend | his action, but his voice was drowned ina | flood of yells and hoots and epithets. The | Socialist members were particularly vio- lent against the ex-Minister of War. The President of the Chamber, assisted by the other officials, had the greatest difficully | in preventing an exhibition of fisticuffs. The uproar became so great that the President concluded <hat the only way to restore order was to suspend the sitting, which he accordingly did. LONDON, Exa., Dec. 10.—The Rome | correspondent of the Telecraph explains to-day’s proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies. He says the anger aroused by the un- earthing, by a special committee, of grave finan abuses in several of the bureaus during the Crispi regime still smolders, | and requires littie to fan it into a flame. He adds that even the funds that were subscribed for the benefit of the earth- | quake sufferers in Calabria were largely | fiiverlcd from the use to which the sub- scribers intended it should be putand | used for political purnoses. | An instance of crooked accounts is given | in the Ministry of Commerce, which | passed items of 5000 lire for pins and | 10,000 lire for carpets. It seems to be the | policy of Prime Minister di Rudini to temporarily suppress the scandals while legisiative business is forwarded. | HAWAIIAN ISLAND AFFA1RS., United Mtates Minister Willis 1s Suffer- ing From Malarial Fever, HONOLULU, Hawar, Dec. 4.—United States Minister Willis is in a very pros- trated condition, the result of malarial fever for several weeks. . His present symptoms are more favorable. About 480 half-pound tins of opium were captured by the' Custom-house antborities on December 1. They were found con- cealed 1n tins of soda crackers in a ship- ment of 174 cases per Mount Lebanon by the Portland Cracker Company to the Washington Feed Company. Morris & Lowden of the latter company are under arrest. They probably did not know they were contraband goods. The ex-Queen is charged by Bob Wilcox with having caused his failure to be elected president of the Hui Aloha Aina, or patri- otic association of natives. Wilcox has organized a rival society and is publishing a paper. Interest in annexation is being actively revived. —_——— Zulus on the Rampage.

WATTERSON TALKS ABOUT MOBOCRACY Declares That the National Democrats Must Act Independently. Can Neither Join the Republicans Nor Swallow the Dectrine of Bryanism. | Predicts That Many Who Voted for the Nebraskan Will Return to the 0l1d Party. INDIANAPOLIS, , Dec. 10.—The National Executive Committee of the Na- tional Democratic party held its first meeting since the election at the Bates House in this city to.day and in the even- ing enjoyed a dinner, with Henry Wat- terson as the guest of bonor. The busi- ness of the afternoon was reading of the acconnts of the committee and discussing the question of organization during the next four years, The accounts were found correct, with a balance left in the treas-| ury—not a large one, but enough to send outa good deal of literature before the next Presidential campaign come on. Those present were: W. D. Bynum, chairman; John P. Frenzel, treasurer, and John R. Wilson of tnis city, the latter holding the proxy of L. C. Krauth of Kan- sas City; Henry Watterson, W. B. Halde- man and George M. Dauce, all of Louis- ville; Thomas H. Clark of Montgomery, Ala,, holding the proxy of J. M. Fanlk- ner; A. R. Spellman of New Orleans, G. Foster Peabody of Brooklyn, John P, Hopkins of Chicago, C. Vey Holman of | Rockland, Me.; F. W. McCutcheon of St. Paul and William B. Given of Columbia, Pa., holding the proxy of John C. Bullitt ot Philadelphia. It was decided to hold the organization intact and to make an effort to extend it into the States where it had no footing in the last campaign, as well as to make it | thorough in the States where it now exists. Resolutions were aoopted on the death of John R. Fe'lows of New York and C. A. Ewing of Illinois. At 8:30 P. M. the members of the com- mittee sat down toa dinnerin tke ordinary of the Bates House, which resolved itself into a discussion of the future of the National Democratic party. Chairman Bynum introduced the speech-making with a few congratulatory remarks. Mr. Watterson was received with applause upon arising, and said in part: Iam in entire sympathy with the movement which has brought you together here. Of course there are 1wo courses open to those of us who are in the movement inangurated here at Indianapolis. One is allying our- selves with the Republican party which elected the President—the other is to main- tain our own organization and use it to dis- band both of these party extremes on the one side and the other. Manifestly we cannot identify ourselves with the Republican party because the Republican party is committed to & policy the results of wiich we can have no faith in. Mr. McKinley himself, if he is an houest and sincere man, and I take it for granted he 1s, is also committed to that policy, In that event we can have nothing in common with him. Our movement in the beginning had for its aim the preservation of the Democratic party pure and undefiled. Incidentally the result of our action essisted in the election of Mr. McKinley and the dafeat ot Mr. Bryan. But in our recent position we are to follow one of two lines, either to act with the Republican party or 10 reorganize our own party. If we are to have a Democratic psrty it must be organized upon the lines laid down by you gentlemen at youdr convention in this city and upon no other. I believe if we adhere to thisorganization that in the nexteighteen months perhaps a million and a half or two million of men who voted™for Mr. Bryan will have no other place 10 go. I see no reason why in 1900 this organiza-| tion will not be able to dictate terms to the country. I sgree most heartily with this movement, because if the country 1s to go year in and year out between these two extremes of seesaw, first up and then down, it is only a question of time when this mobocracy will be in the saddle and get hold of the country. In thai case I see the peril which some of us prephesied during the last campaign. We cannot stand with the Republican party and protection, and without protection the Repub- lican party cannot stand with us. It hes no great leader who can combine two forces as Sir Robert Peel did in English Boli!icn fifty years ago, when the Liberal- nionists formed tneir coalition with the Con- servatives. Itisonly a question of time when defeat will overteke the Republican party. Paternalism is the father of protection. We cannot follow the Republinan party on those lines, and, therefore, I can see no way in which we can co-operate with the Republicans as the Liberal-Unionists dia with the Conservatives, anc I wholly agree with this organization whick we have met here to-day to perfect. It shouid be perfected. We should stand by our guns, We must work along these lines as long as we are the men we are. I believe our strength will in- crease from day to day. I have just Teturned from a long absence d have notyet arranged in my own mind any details of the work, but you gentlemen have aiready done 0. But Ishall throw my- self into this work warmly and as heartily as I ever did in eny fight in my life. After a-little more general talk, the committee went into execurive session and the sub-committees reported. FOR A PLACE 1IN 1HE CABINET, Judge XecKenna of the Cirouit Court After a Porifolio. CANTON, Onro, Dec. 10.—A new name has swung inlo prominence bhere to-day as a Cabiner possibility from California, and for the moment is more eagerly dis- cussed than were the names of Judges De Haven and Waymire in their turn, The man of the people’s choice, according to the unofficial makers of the Cabinet, is Judge Joseph McKenna, who was ap- pointed to the United States Circuit bench by President Harrison. Judge Mc- Kenna was an industrious and aple mem- ber of Congress and served during a por- tion of Major McKinley’s term in the Na. tional Legislature. He isiwell known by the President-alect. Mrs. McKinley left to-night for Chicago for a visit with her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Latayette McWilliams of that city, who have been guests at the McKinley resi- dence for a few days past. The party was composed of Mrs. McKinley and maid. Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams and Mr. anc Mrs. Morse of S8an_ Francisco, who have been guests of the McKinleys. Mrs. Mc- Kinley will probably be away for a week, and while she goes to rest and get a chaunee of scene, the first time for several months, it is also understood that the matter of an inaugural wardrobe will also receive some attention. e NATIONAL CIVIL SERVICE. Carl Schturz, President of the League, Tells of Reforms in His Annual Address. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 10.—The annual meeting of the National Civil Ser- vice Reform League began here to-day in the Hotel Walton, and will conclude to- morrow night, when a banquet will be tendered the visiting delegates by the Pennsylvania Association. Prominent representatives from various parts of the country are present, The members of the executive commit- tee met in secret session and outliced the proceedings of the session. The session will be continued to-morrow, when vice- presidents will be elected and various re- ports be read. A public meeting was held at o'clock this afternoon. The papers read were: ° ‘‘ The Postcffices 'as Party Spoils,” by Richard Henry Dana of Boston ”’; Jivil Service Reform in Philadelphi by Charles Richardson, vice-president of the Municipal League of Philadelpkia; “The New System in New York,” Hon, Bilas W. Burt of New York; “The Self-organization Power of the American People,” by R. R. Bowker, Civil Service Commissioner of New York, and “Results of Reform in the New York Police Department.”” by Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, president of the New York Po- lice Commission: “The Poor Spoilsman; His Days Are Numbered in the Indian Service,” by Francis E. Lupp of Washing- ington, D. C. The general committee of the leagne at the executive meetingelected these officers | of the organization: Secretary, George E. McAney; treasurer, D. E. Frieset; execu- tive committee—Carl Schurz, chairman; Morefield Storey, Boston; Sherman D. | Rogers, Buffalo; Willam A. McKean, Norwich, Conn.; Edward M. Spard, Brooklyn, N. Y.; William G.

Swift, Indianapolis; Her- bert Welsh, Philadelphia; Charles Rich- ardeon, Philadelphia, and John W. Ela, Chicago. This evening Hon. Carl Schurz, presi- dent of the league, delivered his annual address at Music Hall to a large and in- terested audience. Mr. Schurz spoke as follows: The last year has been one of extraordinary rosperity to the cause of civil service reform n various ways. The recent election cam- paign served to exhibitin a singularly c.ear light some of the remarkable and beneficial changes which the merit system bas wrougnt in the American political life and to expose in their whole futility many of the fallacies, de- ceptions and superstitions which the reform movement had to overcome. Surelv the cus om-houses, postoffices, reve- nue offices, navy-yards and so on have thor- oughly ceased to be mere barracks for the housing and feeding of the janissaries of the ruling political party, who' are to be let loose on the community as the exigencies of party interest might require. This we owe alto- gether to the introduction of the merit sys- temn. In making these offices what they now are—business propositions and conducted on business principles aro the ruling motive power—it has not ouly given the people a more honest and more efficient service, but it has also made a vigorous beginning of moral reform 1n politicai life, which is iis ultimate and its most important objact. Itisa signiicant fact those whose zeal in the late campaign was most conspicuously unselfish put forih the most empuatic pro- nouncement in favor of eivil aervfi:e reform, w}nle the party whose cause was condemned by the American people was the oniy one which sought to inspire the efforts of 1ts ad- herents by opening to them the prospect of “I‘lllm“elplundcr. Spoils politics suffered a dol"‘nblol:hm" in the eflecuo e hope expressed & year ago that - dent’ Clovaland would, s 1o the ‘extension of the classified service, so far as it could be effected by executive action alone, leave to his snccessors but little to do, has been fuliy Jjustified. The executive order promulgated by him on May 6,1896, marks one of the greatest and most important onward strides in the history of the Teform movement. The merit system is unequivocally recognized as the general rule. The establishment and maintenancs of the merit system in the vari- ous municipal and State governments is new in progress. One of the arguments against civil service reform has largely ceased. The dangers to civil rervice reform come no longer from on. n assault upon the merit system but fro.. 1n- sidious attempts to destroy its substance while preserving its form. There are some public men who will never propose anybody for office of whose worthiness they are not personally convinced, but, alas! they are in the minority. The competition principle is the very soul of eivil service reform. _— At the Great Wheel Race, NEW. YORK, N.
