Senator White of California took similar grounds. Mr. White stoutly defended the Itata, similarly charged at the time of the | Chileun troubles, and he cites as abundant | authority the declaration in Mr. Cleve- land’s message of December 8, 1885, with | relation to the alleged Colombian pirates. | The President at that time declined to | consider such expeditions as piratical.

Last Saturday Lee says he was invited it the town of San Jose de Las Lajas, some fifteen miles southeast of Havana, in order to see the cotntry. He went there that day and remained until to-day. He remained in the town during his en- tire stay and saw no rebels. The Marquis de Palmerola, secretary to the Governor-Genera!, the civil'Governor of the province of Havana, Chief of Police Barriera and Inspector of Police Perrez, made a visit yesterday to the town of nabacoa, a suburb of Havana, which place was recently attacked by rebels. The object of their visit was to inspect the town course of construction there. They were received by the members of the Town Council, who escorted them on their tour of inspection.

He was lured into ambush and assassinated.” On the subject of the Madrid repoit that General Gomez was about to treat for a compromise Dr, de Yayas said: “There has of late been agood deal of talk of com- promise. On that point I would like to | say this: All propositions of compromise are out of the quesiion, Cuba is fighting for absolute and unconditional inde- pendence. It is ‘liberty or extermina- tion.”” SRR DELGADO'S SAp PLIGHT. Will Die Unless a Surgical Operation Is Performea, WASHINGTON, D.

The troops THE PHILIPPINE REVOLT. Making Such Headway That Spain Is Practically Powerless, NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 4.—A Herald special from Washington says: The prov- ince of Cavite is now the principal strong- hold of the rebels, and - the mail reports{ which have reached here show that they are strongly intrenched tn the village of Imus, which is nearly impregnable. The province of Cavite contains about 300,000 souls, and nineteen out of twenty-two villages are held by the rebels. Cubans in th's city, who have bcen closely watch- ing the Philippine trouble, say that Spain will not be abie 10 put down the rebetlion in the east without the most extensive ex- penditure, supplied with the latest imple- ments of wariare. The report that the Japanese are secretly supplying the insurgents with arms and ammunition is pronounced by the Japa- nese legation in Washington to be with- out foundation in fact. In the first vlace, except by end for the Government itseif, which is certainly not supplying any of its output for the purposes mentioned. No treffic in firearms is being carried on by individuals for the use of the people of the Philippines. The presence of a Japanese warship in the vicinity of the Philippines is of no significance. The ship that is now re- ported to be in those waters is an old wooden steam frigate, inadequately armed, which has been used as a training-ship for many years and is at present on a practice cruise. The Mikado is particularly desirous of establishing friendly relations with the Spanish Government, and Mr. Kurino, formerly Minister to the United States, is now in Madrid endeavoring to negotiate a treaty of amity, commerce and navigation similar to those already ratified by the United States and the European powers, except Spain and Portugal, and several South American countries. He reports, however, that his mission is meeting with little success, and his presence at the Spanish court is regarded as a blind to the real attitude and intentions of ihe Japa- nese, who are understood by the Spanish to be piaying the cards for the acquisition of the port of Lacon. While the disposition of the Japanese is unqualifiedly to preserve neutrality and amicable relations, it is stated that in case of continued outrages or the part of the Spanish orin the event of increased anarchy in the, Phuippines, or a call on them for aid from the insurgents of the islands, the Mikado is not likely to exer- cise the forberarance that the United States is now preserving in the Cuban difficulty. Arms and men might be fur- nished openly, and should the struggle develop unfavorably to Spain and the partition vf the Philippine colonies be imminent, the Japanese would doubtless be on the lookout for their share. For the present, however, every effort will be made to preserve neutrality and to pre- vent aid being given against Spain, either directly or indirectly, by Japanese sub- jects. il Another Improbasle Slory. BERLIN, GErRMANY, Jan, 4.—The Tage- blatt asser:s that Krance and Russia have agreed to intervene at Washington to pre- vent a breach between the United States and Spain. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 4.—Offi- cials here discredit the story sent from Berlin that France and Russia will inter- vene to prevent war between Spain and the United States. They say Berlin is a queer place to get correct news from as to what France and Russia intend to do. e Convinced That Maceo Lives. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan, 4—Thomas Lovelace, second lieutenant of the Texas Soledad, which was wrecked last October, is spending a few aays here with his mother. Lovelace spent three days at Havana, and has just returned from Cuba. He says that heis convinced that Maceo is not dead, but is recovering from his wounds. He says that within three days in Havana he saw sixty-eight insur- gents shot down. FOR A PLACE IN THE CABINET. California’s Congressional Delegation Has Another Conference—Judge McKenna May Be Selected. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 4—The Re- publican members of the California dele- gation 1 Congress met this morning in the committee-rooms of Representative Loud, at the request of Senator Perkins. These statesmen again discussed the de- sirability of uniting in a memorial to President-elect McKinley asking that Horace Davis of San Francisco be ap- pointed a member of the Cabinet. This meeting, like former ones, was secret. Newspaper representatives were exclud- ed on motion of Grove Johnson, where- upon Representative Loud said he must refuse to take part in the caucus. He said he believed it wise to admit newsraper correspondents so that they might obtain accurate reports of the meeting, rather than have to depend upon hearsay testi- mony of the representatives. He said that it has been demonstrated in the past that it was far better to admit press men than have inaccurate reports telegraphed. Mr. Loud, therefore, positively refused to participate in the meeting. At the conclusion of the conference the following statement was made by the chairman, Senator Perkins: “The delegzation met and after a confer- ence came to the conclusion that they saw no reason to recede from their former posi- tion, but out of deference to the views of prominent Republicans of California with whom they are at present in communica- tion they concluded to take no further action at the present time.” The Californians wrangled for an hour or more before they decided not to recede from their recommendation of Horace Davis. All of those present, however, including Senator Perkins and Repre- sentatives Johnson, - Hilborn, Bowers, Barham and McLachlan, finally decided to stand pat on Davis. The memorial will not, however, be sent to Major McKinley immediately, but, “in deference to the views of promi nent California Republicans,” will be held up for the time being. This means that Judge Waymire’s friends are making a biz racket, and for yrudential reasons it is deemed best by the statesmen not to take any real action in the matter until the Legislature has elected a United States Senator. It matters very little, however, what the Californians may recommend. THE CaALL correspondent at a late hour to-night secured what is believed to be a positive assurance that President-elect McKinley will ask United States Circuit Judge Mc- Kenna to become a member of his Cabi- net. He will probably offer him the Attorney-Generalship. This news was wired exclusively to Tug Carsten days ago, and recent develop- ments have confirmed its correctness. Indeed, it was agreed in the conference of the Californians tc-day that if any Californian was honored with a Cabinet position that man would be McKenna. This seemed to be satisfactory ail around the table, although they s:ubbornly re- fused 1o “back down from their former recommendation of Davis. One of the members said: “We felt chagrined that our former dis- interested action in meeting to recom- mend a Cabinet officer for California should have been criticized by Republi- cans, but we will stand by our recom- mendation of Mr, Davis.” It is now the unanimous opinion of Californians here that Judge McKerna will be offered the Attorney-Generalship, and he will accept it with the under- standing that he will be appointed to the United States Supreme bench to succeed Justice Field if there should be a vacancy on that bench during President McKinley’s administra- tion. Justice Field 1s very feeble. A Californian who visited him on Saturday said to Tue CALL correspondent to-day that he would not be surprised at any time to hear of life beirg snuffed out like a candle. R h RGOS, SUICIDE OF A BANK CASHIER. Deliberately Drowns Himself After a Short- age of $60,000 Is Discovered in His Accounts. BALTIMORE, Mbp., Jan. 4 —Richard D. Cornelius, one of the oldest and best- known ‘bank cashiers of this city, com- mitted suicide to-day. His body was found in the duck pond in Draid Hill Park just a few hours after the shortage of $60,000 had been discovered in his accounts at the National Farmers’ and Planters’ Bank. Last Saturday Bank Examiner Marshall Winchester drew the attention of the officers of the bank to some irregularities in the accounts of an out-bf-town institu- tion. ‘This morning Mr. Cornelius was asked to explain the irregularities. He did not attempt todo so, but abruptly walked oif. A closer examination of his accounts dis- closed an apparent shortage of $60,000. When the officers of the bank learned that the cashier had left the building they telephoned to Smith, Weston and Lyon, the detectives, to hunt him up. Mr. Weston traced the defaulter t¢ Druia Hiil Park and thence to the duck pond. There they found his body floating in three feet of water. The man had evidentiy held himself to the bottom of the pond by the weeds that grew there. Cornelius was about 58 years of age and had been connected with the National Farmers' and Planters’ Bank for over forty-two years. 'He was a close friend of the late. Enoch Pratt, who was president of the bank for almost filty years. The matter caused more excitement in the banking district than anv other event in years. For many years Mr. Cornelius had been very prominent in Methodism, and at the time of his death was ; a local preacher of the Balti- more Conference, president of the City Missionary and Church Extension Society, president of the Emery Grove Association; one of the trustees of the Baltimore annual conference, and a mem- ber of the official board of Madison Church. He attended divine worship twice yesterday. The National Farmers' and Planters’ Bank is one of the oldest and one of the strongest in the city. S EDITUR MeCULL ‘GH'S ESTATE. Owned Worthless Mining Stoor Face Value of $1,000,000. ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 4.—Public Ad- ministrator Richardson and a few legal heirs of the late J. B. McCullagh made a partial inventory of the effects of the de- ceased to-day. In a safety deposit box $3000 in money and mininy stock of the face vaiue of $1,000,000 was found. This stock is worth but $30. The tnirty shares of Globe-Democrat stock, worth $60,000. were not found. His desk in his oftice in the Globe-Democrat building is fuil of per- sonal papers, and there the Administrator hopes to find a clew to the secnrities and money he was believed to ho!d when he died. By agreement of the Administraio: and beirs, there will be no public sale of the property found. Mr: McCuliagh was one of aine brothers, most of whose fami- lies live in Ireland, and if no will is found they will share in the property. —_— Japanese Not Assisting the Kebels.
