Brazilian Protectionists Howling.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Ever since the
day when the new United States and Bra
lillian treaty was proclaimed simultane-
ously in both countries, Brazips minister
has been in constant Geographic communl-
cation with his government The cable
grams have not been lengthy, but they
have been emphatic. Some of these cable
grams indicated a very serious condition
OF affairs; how serious, may be determined
from this significant utterance of the min
lster made yesterday: ~ received to-day
continued the minister, IAN installment OF
Brazilian papers containing the decree pro-
Mitigating the treaty and also presenting
at length the views of officials and mer.
chants. One of these papers, the Journal
do Commerce., is filled with expressions
condemnatory of the treaty. The feeling
reached such degree that one congress-
man predicts all the merchants of Rio de
Janeiro will go into liquidation in few
months. This, of course, is absurd, but il
shows what is being asserted The opposi,
ton comes from two -four merchants. who
OF course are not affected by the treaty.

THE INSIDE HISTORY
Of the Now Celebrated Hiil-Wat.
tersOn Letter.
1t Was Submitted to Cleveland, Who Thought
1t Hl-Advised-lt Was Thrown Away
and Then Surreptiously Published

| Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DISPATCH.
| New YORK, March ia World special
| from keokuk, Iowa, says: From informa
ton which came into the possession of your
correspondent today, it is clear that the
inside history of the origin and disposition
| of the Watterson Hill letter has never been
given to the public. Early in January
Colonel Watterson came to Iowa on
a lecturing tour. He delivered
his celebrated lecture on "Money and
Morals" in the cities of Grinnell, Des
MONIES, Winterset and here in Keokuk. In
al these places he was cordially received.
Inc local democracy and prominent citizens
generally showed him many attentions in a
social way and under the meiiowine influ
ence OF this ttattering reception he talked
freely. WithDemocrsts he discussed politics.
and, in one instance, he referred with more
than usual interest to the next presiden-
tial contest. He gave it as his opinion that
| one OF the results of the late election would
be the nomination of Cleveland and he ex-
pressed a desire for Democratic harmony
IN the country at large, and especially in
! New York. With that object in view. he
said he had written letter to Governor
Hill, which he went on to describe mi
nutely, description which corresponded
SAdCtIy Will lli6 lCGIer winch appeared
soon after that in the columns Of the east
ern press and which Governor Hill denied
ever having received. Mr.. Watterson
further said, that after having written the
letter, doubts arose in his mind as to
whether it would most help or hurt mat
ters, and not being able to satisfy himself
on that point, he mailed the letter to
Mr.. Cleveland and asked his advice on
matter. MIR. Cleveland kept the letter two
| weeks and then returned it with the re-
mark that he doubted the advisability of
sending it. Mr. Watterson thereupon
threw it into the waste basket, from which
he no doubt supposed it would never be
resurrected. How the letter finally got
into print he probably does not know, but
that 1t was either fshed out OF the waste
paper receptacle of the Courier Journal
| office, or that copy of it was surrepti-
tlously made while it was in Mr. Cleve-
lands possession, there can be no doubt.
| 1t will be remem bered that in his reply to
Governor HIPS denial of the receipt of the
letter, Mr.. Watterson, nowhere says he sent
it. He declares that heswrote it,and beyond
that his denial is evasive.

BOISE CRY, Idaho, March 11.-TSpecial
telegram to The HERALD. "A movement
is on foot in eastern Idaho, consisting OF
Bear Lake and portion of Bingham coun-
ties, to detach them from Idaho and be-
come part OF Wyoming. The people of
Wyoming favor the move, and the Nor

In conversation with leading Nor
mon tonight we learned that the ad-
ministration is favorable to the change and
there can be no doubt but what the con-
gressional delegation will favor it, as this
would forever do away with the Mormon
question in Idaho, and the new election bill,
by DISTINGUISHING them for all time to
come, shows the Mormons are not wanted

Mrs; Greenbaum was brutally assaulted

When arralgned at Jamaica, the leader of

The Drought In Cnha.

HAVANA, March 11.-Drought still pre-
walls. Its effects are most severely felt in
the department of Santiago de Cuba. The
small rivers are dried up and heavy losses
in cattle sustained, owing to the fact that
it is impossible for the animals to get food
or water. The drought will naturally in
terfere with the sugar crop, the yield of
cane being much reduced through lack Of
rain. The loss of cattle, too, will affect the
crops, oxen for the labor in the fields being
very scarce.
Several large fires on plantations are re-
ported. In several instances they were the
work of incendiaries. AT Cienfuegos the
proprietors of large sugar plantation are
converting into sugar all molasses pro
duced on their estate. They use in this
conversion new process, which affords ad-
mirable results. No chemical agent enters
into the operation and the sugar is natur-
all obtained by mixing molasses from
centrifugals with cane ground in the first
mill
