‘"THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1896. WEVLER'S RETURN T0 HAVANA CITY Flowers Are Strewn in the Path of the Butcher General. Dr. Maximo Zertucha, an Insur- gent Who Surrendered, De- clares Maceo Is Dead. Says 'He Saw the Daring Le:ader Morta'ly Wounded, but the Body Is Not Found. HAVANA, Cuss, Dec. 11L—General Weyler arrived here at 5:30 o’clock this afternoon. He rode into fhe city on horseback, accompanied by two squad- rons of cavalry. His coming had been made known to the public, and large crowds gathered to welcome him. He was given a popular ovation from the time be reached the city limits until he arrived at {he palace. At some vlaces along his route girls strewed flowersin his pathway, and he was in other ways treated as a popular hero. Calle Obispo, Calle O'Reilly and the other streets in the vicunity of the palace and the Plaza de Armas were jammed with people, who enthusiastically c: eered the captain-general as he rode along. When be arrived near the palace the en- thusiastic crowd surrounded him, despite the military, and he was compelled to stop his horse in order not to ride down his admirers, who greeted him with all menner of loyal cries. A pasrageway was finally opened and General Weyler pro- ceeded to the palace. Stortly after he had entred the building he appeared upon a baltony and was greeted with the most tumiituous cheering. The scene was rembiscent of when Martinez Campos arrived in Havana years ago after pacify- ing the island. ‘Wha General Weyler called upon his atdieme to cheer for the King, for Spain and fo the army a roar went up that could le heard scross the bay in Morro Castleind the fortress of Cabanas. Whei silence had been restored General Weylefnade an address, from the tenor of whicl it would be supposed that the resion of the rebellion was an accom- plished iwct. He said, among other things, that eveything that had been done had been acomplished by the army, which had beetintrusted with the pacification of the iland and the maintenance of Spain’s svereignty. He wWs continually interrupted by cheeringwhich was continued after he | had left te balcony. Later €neral Weyier gave a reception that was ttended by the members of the | municipalcorporation, delegations from various soeties and prominent residents of the cit, The citys-night presents a most ani- | mated aspe, refiecting the joy felt by the Spaniards kause of Maceo’s desth and “General Wder's triumph over the in- surgents in e western provinece. Casa Blan, the little village under the walls of theabanas Fortress, and Regla, on the sowern side of the bay, held litfle demastrations of their own in honor of th victorious return of General Weyler. Part of ‘e cheering that was every- where hearto-night was for Major Ciru- jeda, m theagagement with whose com- mand Macelost his life.

On the | next day, hoer, it was announced that he would zufiraler around the end of | the trocha andeet an insurgent force on | the Havana si§f of the line.

C., Dzc. 11.—C. P. Huntington will be here to-morrow to begin a personal conduct of his refunding bill campaign. The head clerk at the Normandie Hotel said tothe Cary correspondent that the magnate would arrive to-morrow. It is probable that the bill will not come up in either House until after the holidays, though it is possible the Senate may consider it earlier. It will be brought up in the House on'January 5, debate to continue four days, the last day to be devoted to speeches under the *“five-minute rule.” ' 2 Hubbara, Kyle, Bell, Harrison and Sulzer of the Pacific Roads Committee will oppose the Powers bill. Bell will oppose Government ownership, but favors an extension bill, under certain conditions, mentioned in the following abstract of his minority report, filed to-day: “The undersigned does not desire to enter into a discussion of the merits of the proposition that the Government should bacome the owner of the railroads, and so far as this report is concerned that sugzgestion will not meet with any further consiaeration. pleted. 1f the Government property would bring the amount of the Government’s debt, as well as of that which is secured by the prior lie, this would be a simple and by far the most satisfactory settlemsnt that could be effected; but it is generally thought that the properties would not bring anything like the amount necessary to pay off botn the Government’s debt and the debt secured by the prior lien. The question then recurs on the funding proposition. The maladministration of the properties began with the building of the roads and has continued ever since they were com- The companies are in no condition to ask for favors. ©It is manifest n this Powers extension bill the Government will be extending to the Union Pacific a favor which has never been equaled by any granted to a corporation before, in’ getting the use of the Government’s money at 2 per cent per annum, when they will be able to negotiate loans at 4 per cent to the amount secured by the first mortgaga. If the company was compelled to borrow money in the money market it would bave to pay 5 per cent. What is true of the Union Pacific may be said of the Central Pacific, that is to say: If the @overnment takes a second mortgage to secure its debt, it virtually becomes the guarantor of the debt secured by the first mortgzage. ] therefore recommend that the bill reported by the committee be amended so as to provide that the debts due by the roads should be extended at 3 instead of 2 per cent interest per annum, and that this extension be granted ouly on condi- tion that the companies arrange to secure the Government debt by a first mortgage on the property upon wiich it is pro- posed in the bill reported by the committee that it shall have a second mortgage. I also recommend that a provision be Inserted in the bill requiring the law ofticers of the Government to institute proceedings looking to the foreclosure of its lien and the sale of the property in the event that the terms of settlement which we recommend are not accepted within a stated time by the respective companies.” determined to call mass-meetings of citi- zeus, at which Senor Arango of Cleveland will make an address. The local society will form branches in the cities of the State, all persons being eligible to mem- | bership who will contribute to the fund for aid of the insurgents. Correspondence has been opened with the New York junta, which has approved the Jowa organization, and a jetter from Senor Paima was read. The officers electea by the Des Moines or- ganization are: W. D. Cooney, president, and E. D. Hemlin, secretary and treasurer. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 11.—Semi- official advices from Madrid to-day state that Government circies as weil as the conservative clement generally are en- tirely satisfied with the feature of the President's message which related to Cuba. The first impression formed by the meager reports cabled to Spain was not satisfactory and produced some irritation. When the full text of the Cuban chapter appeared in the leading papers of the kingdom there was, it is reported, a com- plete revolution of sentiment, and the President’s courteous and considerate treatment of the subject received general approval. The President’s utterances are | taken, on tke whole, to indicate a better understanding between the two countries. These adyices contain the further infor- mation that asitis the intention of the Spanish Government when certain of the provinces are pacifiad to give home ruleto Cuba or the lines indicated in the Presi- dent’s message little fear of intervention is now felt. JACKSONVILLE, F1a., Dec.11.—The | steamer Dauntless, already under bond in two cases for violating the neutrality and navigation laws, was seized just before daylight this morning by the revenue cut- ter Boutwell. The seizure was made upon information given by the Spanish Consui, Pedro Solis, who allogel that the vessel | | was starting on a filibustering expedition. The officers refused to make an affidavit that they would not violate the neutrality or maritime laws. . LONDON, ExG., Dec. 11.—The Daily from Romea stating that it is reported there that Spain has ssked the Pope to ascertain through the Papal nuncios at the various capitals whether any of the powers would support her in the event of war with the Uunited States, or interfere in Spain’s behalf at the right moment. The dispatch adds that Signor de Felice Giuffrida, the well-known socialist mem- ber of the Chamber of Deputies, has made an offer to the Central Cuban Committee to take several hundred of his friends to Cuba to join the insurgents, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 1L—An afternoon paper to-day publishes a long story to the effect that a regiment of 1500 men to fight in Cuba was being raiset in the cities of Baltimore, New York, Bos- ton, Washingzton and Philadelphia, and that another regiment has already been nessee. Philadelphii’s quota toward the regiment being raised in the Eastern cities is given at 300 men, and about eighty-five men have already been en- listed here. The men are to receive $25 month pay, and must be American citi- zens of good reputation. Captain Wil- liam R. Hanley -is said to be enlisting the Philadelphia battalion. Captain Hanley is said to have served eighteen years in the United States army and was dis- charged from the service in 1825.

Bell of Texas Submits a Minority Report of the Pacific Roads Committee. Increased Interest and a First Mortgage or a Forzc osure Are the Terms Demanded. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 11.—Unless the Pacific refunding bill now before the House is amended to meet the objection arged against it by the minority of the | Pacific Railroad Committee, the bill will ,‘be opposed bitterly. The minority, in a { report submitted by Bell of Texas to-day, | recommends that the bill be amended so as to provide that the debts due by the | roads be extended at 3 per cent instead of 2 per cent per annum, and that the exten- | sion be granted oniy on condition that the | companies arrange to secure the Govern- ment’s debt by a first mortgage on the property upon which itis proposed in the bill it shall have a second mortgage. It 1s also recommended that a provision be inserted requiring the law officers of the Government to institute proceedings looking to a foreclosure of its lien and the sale ol the property in the event that the terms of settlement are not accepted by the respective companies. Among the objections stated to the bill in its present form are applications pro- vided for of the funds in thesinking fund; the requirement that the $2 409,818 which stands credited to the Central Pacific Com- pany for services on non-aided lines should be applied to the payment of the Central Pacific’s debts to the Governnient, to the default provision of the bill and the prohibition against the payment of dividends upon the stock unless actually earned and unless the companies shall have paid all interest due on their bonded debt and all matured installments of the interests. ? In reaching these conclusions the mi- nority report rccites the history of the legislation authorizing the building of the Pacific roads. The Union Pacific road { and the Kansas Pacific are treated as one, and, the report states, have been consoli- dated and to them have been issued $33- 539,512 of the subsidy bonds. Tt was when the bonds loaned these companies were issued that one - half of the compensation due by the Govern- ment for services rendered it by the com- panies, and that 5 per cent of the net earn- ings, which was to be applied to the pay- mert of the bonds and interest, would pay the interest and leave something over for the gradual extinction of the debt. This has proved delusive, the companies hav- ing ‘defaulted interest and suit having been entered for same. The Supreme Court has decided that the amount paid by the Government was not due until’ the bonds maturea. There is now held in the treasury, the report says, available for the purpose of paying off the mortgage debts of the Central Pacific Company $6,493,127, and of the Union Pacific Company, $15,325,985. *'It is proposed by the bill,” the report says, ‘‘to apply the amounts in the re- spective sinking funds to the extingnish- ment pro tanto of the Government's debt, and to this suggestion there can be no ob- jection.” The report makes the indebtedness of the Union Pacific to the Government, after deducting the amount which would be realized from the securities in the sink- ing fund, $53,716,418, and of the Central Pacific $57,681,514. The report treats at length of the sufficiency of the settlement proposed by the Pacific railroads, and finds that that property is appraised at much more than its cash value, which is stated by the railroads at $35,600,000 of un- subsidized property. The report states that when the first mortgaze lien of $33,532,000 is considered, if the roads are sold at auction they will not bring sufficient to satisfy that lien and the Government’s debt. The settlement proposed of extending the Government loan for forty years at 2 per cent while the road is paying 4 per cent on its first morigage loan would be unjust to the Government. If the Government extends the second mortgzage now 1t would in effect gunaran- tee the payment of the first mortgage bonds. What has been said of the Union Pacific applies equally to the .Central Pa- cifie; which owes the Government $52,801,- 000, that is, if the Government exiends the second mortgaze. ‘I'he report recognizes that “‘without any fault of ours conditions prevail which ren- der it necessary for the Government to either lose an enormous snm of money or to adopt a refunding scheme, but before we can agree to any refunding scheme it aught to be clearly aemonstrated that the Government woild be placed in much bet- ter position than it now 1s. Believing the Government’s position would not be ma- terially improved if the terms of the pro- prsed bill were carried out we cannot as- sent to its provisions.” L e Prays 4gainst Kum Trafic. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 11.—In the prayer at to-day’s session of the House Chaplain Couden referred directly to the bill passed yesterday forbidding the sale of liguor in the Capitol and d that the bill might speedily become a law to be never repealed. The resolution extending to the end of the session the investigation by the joint committee of the use of alcohol in the arts wis agreed to. This being private pension day, nine bills were presented and two passed. At 5 o'clock 1he House took a recess until 8 o’clock, the evening session to be devoted to the consideration of private pension bilis, and at the expiration of that session the House adjourned until Mon- day next.

GARY'S FRIENDS CALL AT CAVTON Maryland Anxious toSecure a Representative in the Cabinet. Claims of the Southern Members of the Farty May Have Some Weight. M:jor McKinl:y Listens Patiently to the Visitors, but Dces Not Make Any Promises. CANTON, Onio, Dec, 11.—Following the example of the Michigan friends of. Gen- eral Alger, rep‘esentatives of the friends of Jamas A. Gary of Baltimore in the South to-day sent alarge delegation to Canton to formally ask the President- elect to consider him asa Cabinet possi- bility. It was the second delezation to callin the interests of a Cabinet possibility, and the custom may now be regarded as established. At the head of the delega- tion to-day was Senator-elect George L. Weilington of Maryland. Major McKinley received his visitors cordially and listeneil with marked atten- tion to what Senator Wellington, who spoke for the whoe committes, had to say. Ssnator Wellington said thathe and his associates cam» not to urge the ap- pointment of Mr. Gary, but to ask the President-elect to consider him as a pos- sible Cabinet officer, in case he decided to choose one of his advisors from the South. Mr. Gary, he stated, is a successful busi- ness man of high character and an ardent Republican with a great record for useful- ness. “The South is behind Mr. Gary,”’ con- tinued Senator Wellington. ‘His Btateis solid for him, and we think Maryland worthy of recognition if any State in the South is. A majority of the Southern States have representatives here to-day to say that Mr. Gary’s appointment would be highly acceptable to them. He is the one Southern man who practically has the Republicans of the whole South be- hind him.” Major McKinley said nothing that could be considered a promise. The feeling is that if a Southern man is appointed to the Cabinet he is likely to come from Maryland or West Virginia, though H. Clay Evans of Tennesseeis a good deal taiked of, and there is frequent mention of J. F. Hanson of Georgia. Nathan Goff of West Virginia is thought by many to be a strong possibility. Major McKinley had a great many call- ers to.day, but he found time to get out for a drive and a stroll in the bright sun- shine. Among those who calied were: William Whitman of Boston, who had a conference lasting an hour and a half; Congressman James McLachlin of Cali- fornia, Thomas More of Philadelphia and Wilham D. Windom of Washington, D. C., son of ex-Secretary of the Treasury Wiltiam Windom. The people of Canton are to have an opportunity of saying good-by to Major McKinley just before he leaves this city for Washington. Representatives of the Canton Business Men's Association called on the major to consult with him as to having him the guest of honor at the annual banquet of the association, which is usually held on or near the first Tuesday of January. After considering the matter, and con- versing on kindred topies, it was thought advisable to give all the people, without regard to business or political connections, an opportunity to extend farewell words to President-elect McKinley before he zoes to the National capital to be inaugurated. The reception is to be under the direction of the Canton Business Men’s Association, and will occur shortly before Major Mc- Kinley leaves for Washington., The place of ho!ding the reception is also undecided, but a hotel will probably be chosen; peo- ple in general are to be given a cordial in- vitation to take just such a part as they desired. LA HANNA AT PHILADELPHIA, Discusses Pennsylvania Politics With Prominent men. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 11.—Mark A. Hanna stopped over here on his way from Washington to Cleve!and and spent the night as the guest of Frank Thomson, vice-president of the Pennsylvania Rail- road Company. Mr. Hanna and Mr. Thomson were joined this evening by Thomas Dolan, the big manufacturer; Charles Emory Smith, ex-Minister to Russia; Clement A. Griscom, president of the International Navigation Company; Charles C. Harrison, the sugar-refiner, and A. Lowden, ex-Minister to Greece. It is supposed that these gentlemeu dis- cussed generally Pennsylvania politics with Mr. Hanna. Mr. Hanna will leave for home to-morrow. -— COXEY SCOEES BUTLER. With a Flourish the Commonwealer Lenves the People's Party. MASILLON, Oxro, Dec. 11.—J. 8. Coxey issued an open letter to-day to Senator Marion Butler, denouncing the “disgraced People’s party, sold out to an issue so insignificant as silver.” He adds: “I de- cline to help chase rainbows of election frauds in Ohio, but hereby announce my resignation as a member of the National committee. I once leit the Democratic rarty, and now find, in order to be out of it for sure, I must leave the once erand, but now disgraced People party. This is done in deep sorrow, and with the hope to join a rnny soon to which the hope of the epublic must look for succor frem finan- cial and inaustrial ills.”” 3 W QR An to Blackburn’s Successor. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dsc. 11— Great pressure is being brought to bear upon Governor Bradley to have him call an extra session of the Lepisiature to insure the election of a Republican successor to Senator Blackburn, In an interview at Washington to-night Senator Mitchell, chairman of the Senate Committee on Klecilons, said he would never vote to admit u Senator elected under ihe conditions proposed by Gover- nor Bradley. The City and County Re- publican Commitiee to-night adopted res- olutions calling on the Sovernor to convene the L-gislature in extra session for the purpose of naming a Senator. —_— Mre. McKinley in Chicago: CBICAGO, 1rr., Dec. 11.—Mrs. McKin- lev, wife of the President-elect, arrived in this city this morning from Canton, Ohio. With her were her cousin, Mrs, Lafayette MacWilliams and Mr. MacWilliams, whose guest she will be during her stay in Chicago, and Mr, and Mrs. Morse of San. EXTR Francisco. Mrs, McKinley said she had a most pleasant journey and does not suffer from hngye.

FOR iHE FREENCH NAVY. Proposals Submiited by Fx-Minister Lockroy 4ve Withdrawn. PARIS, Fraxce, Dec. 11.--The proposals submitted by M. Lockroy, formerly Min- ister of Marine, contemplating a vote of 200,000,000 francs for constructing new warships has been withdrawn, owing to the objection of Admiral Bosnard, the present marine Minister, who will himself submit a plan for the construction of new battleships when the navy council meets next Thursday. Admiral Besnard’s objection to M. Lock- roy’s scheme grew out of the latter’s con- demnation of the boilers and engines at present in use in the French navy and his advocacy for rebuilding of the exist- ing vessels. AR F Canal Laborers Landed. COLON, Coroysia, Dec. 11.—The 600 Af-ican laborers from the Congo Free State returned to augment the force of men at work on the Panama canai, who were detained on the steamer Castle Eden upon her arrival here on December 8, be- cause there was smallpox on board, will be landed to-morrow at the Pacific Mail pier. The sufferers from smallpox have been landed and are improving, though the weather is threatening. BT Olney Will Not Consent., LONDON, Ex6., Dec. 11.—The Chronicle | will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Washington saying that Mr. Storrow, counsel of the United States Government in the Venezuelan boundary dispute, who is now 1n Caracas, has asked Secretary of State Olney whether the protocol can be modified. The writer or the dispatch as- serts that Mr. Olney will not consent to any modification in the protocol and adads that :f Venezuela obstructs the settiement of the boundary question the United States will withdraw its support. i, wlgs e LIBERIA WILL GET INTO TROUBLE. While Preparing to Anchor at Ccpe Pal= mas a Gunboat Fires Upon a British Steamer. LIVERPOOL, Excuaxp, Dec. 11.—The steamer Erasmus, which arrived here to- day from the west coast of Africa, brings the further report of an outrage by the Liberians. When the steamer was pre- paring to anchor at Cape Palmas the Li- berian gunboat firea at her, the shot pass- ing between her masts. Aiter she had anchored the gunboat ran alongside, and her commander boarded tbe Erasmus and insisted that the passen- gers on the steamer, who were Kroo labor- ers, should be landed at Cape Palmas in- stead of Rocktown, whither they were bound. Captain Haynes of the Erasmus refused to land the men, and the Liberians eventually contented themselves by levy- ing customs duties on the Kroos. Captain Haynes made & formal protest to the Liberian Government at Monrovia and has informed the British Government of all the facts in the case. It was onlya short time ago that Liberia was forced to pay $1000 for outrages on British subjects, two warships going to Grand Bacse and enforcing the demand by threatening to seize the custom-house. G e Foundered in the Chanmel. LONDON, Exg., Dec. 11.—The German ship Rajah, Captain Bellmer, from Barry, Wales, for Hongkong, has foundered in Bristol Channel. Two of the crew have been picked up.
