REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE

Mr.. Andrew Gleeson expresses considerable
satisfaction with the republican situation in
the District. why shouldn't / be satisfied,
said Mr.. Gleeson TO STAR reporter. Every
fair-minded man and honest republican who
knows the facts will be satisfied. am sure.
Poor Davis set dead fall for us and then
walked into it himself. and he is now squealins
like pig under the fence
when he asserts that We are boilers and
that our central committee Is not regularly and
legally constituted. he asserts what H. not true
ne seems 70 forget that the national committee
repuuiated both him ald his defunct old conn
mlttee They refused to grant the old COM
mittee any power or authority whatever and
treated the subject just as II thsre was no conn
mittee IN existence IN the District. Iheir pur-
pose was TO provide foi a new central commit
Tee. lney provided Ter the issuance of "A call
to be signed by Carson and Davis for the elec
uon oil the new committee and left the matter
OF organization TO tho members of tie new
committee themselves, without interference
from anybody.
III Davis had kept lis hands of there rould
nave been no trouble, but. knowing that both
he and Chase would be defeated in their own
districts they resoried TO a trick TO accomplish
what they could not do by fair means. III the

tor new committee is il reasonable
to suppose that they will approve
his attempt to scrutIni<e credentials and pack
the new committee and control it's orpaniza-
ton by unfair means; When Davis signed the
call with Carson for the election his authority
ceased and both he and his old committee
were defunct Ills call for the new committee
to meet on the 18th was totally unauthorized
as Carson stated forcibly in ms letter TO Davis
ana wall not be recognized by the national
committee. The meeting and organization of
the committee on the 9th was not only accord
ing TO custom. but it was regular and legal and
the committee n composed of a very large
majority (oyer two-thirds) OF the legally elected
members from the respective districts. and
whatever action that committee takes in choos-
ing delegates TO the national convention will be
confirmed by the national committee. DAVIS
and his old committee has been dead, politi-
cally, for four years, and the national commit
tee refused to restore or recognize them and it
is all nonsense and rot 20 contend otherwise
The delegates to the national convention will
be elected next Tuesday and / have no fear

THAT TROUBLESOME CARA.
Why There is Objection to Letting Me,
can Troops Cross the Rio Grande.

Why There is Objection to Letting Mexi-
can Troops Cross the Rio Grandc.
Senior Romero, the Mexican minister, re-
turned from Boston last night, and this morn
ing he was at the State Department 1t is
understood that he called in reference to the
request OF his government for permission to
send troops into the territory of the
United States in pursuit Of the rebel CARA. as
printed in last evenings STAR. Secretary
Blaine, however, had not appeared at the de-
partmeat, but Was conducting his business at
his house.
Mr.. ROMERO NoN-coMMITTAL-
When asked about the truth of the publica-
tions the minister said that he could not talk
on the subject. Should lie so DESIRE he added,
he might make some interesting statements,
but his duty to his country forbade He would
neither affirm nor deny the rUmors, but his
manner left little doubt Of their accuracy.
WHY Mr.. BLAINE OBJECTS.
1t is understood that Secretary Blaine is OPP
posed to granting the request on the ground
that 1t will be an innovation in view Of the in
transitional custom regarding political refugees,
and that it will afford n serious prece-
dent for the future. 1.-THE proximity OF
Mexico" said an official. would scarcely be
accepted by a European power as q valid rea-
son for discriminating in favor of our southern
neighbor should We refuse to grant to the
former a similar privilege"
The fact that Cara is q fugitive from the
laws of the United States is, of course a strong
element in the case, but it is not thought that
he Is any the less to be regarded as u refugee,
entitled to protection. Indeed it is the gem
eral opinion that the United States considers
that it has paramount claim on the person of
Senior CARA as an outlaw and rioter.
Senior Romero called on Secretary Elkins
later in the morning.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY.
Authorities Have No Fear of an Indian Out
break There.

According to a dispatch from Pittsburg First
Lieut.. Rorke second cavalry, U.SA, told re.
porter at that city Yesterday as be was on his
way to this city from Pine Ridge agency that
trouble is brewing among the Indians at that
agency and that it was his firm belief they will
soon start another crusade against the whites.
An inquiry was made today at the Indian
Office by STAR reporter. who was informed
that they had no information leading them to
believe that Lieut. Rorkc's prediction. if he
was correctly reported was at all likely to
come true. The army officer who is the acting
Indian agent at Pine Ridge reports to the
Office that while the Indians have not entirely
recovered from the effects of their outbreak
last year, yet great progress has been made to-
ward attaining contentod and peaceful frame
OF mind. The Indian office does not take any
stock in this alarming report.
