GOVERNOR CULBERSON SIGNS
THE CONFEDERATE MONU-
MENT RESOLUTION.
COMPTROLLER FINLEY CALLS AT
TENTION TO A NEW LAW.

Charters Filed-Notes.

Governor Culberson yesterday signed
the joint resolution granting permission
to the John B. Hood Camp of Confed-
crate Veterans to erect monument in
the capitol grounds. The generosity(D
of the legislature of the Lone Star state
will be appreciated by all the boys who
wore the gray and made the state famous
the world over. Of course, they do not
expect poor old Texas to follow 1.-THE
example of little Rhode Island, granite
ribbed Vermont, bleak Maine and other
great and rich and prosperous states and
erect monument to the memory of her
glorious heroes. Certainly not. The
boys, poor fellows. who still live can posi-
bly, scrape together a little money and
erect q monument. 1t will not be as
imposing and costly as some erected in
the states named, for the boys as a rule
are poor, but every stone in it will be
made hallowed by clustering memories of
days that tried mems souls, and by that
sacred love that never dies. That monu-
ment will not 60 up as token of the
states gratitude, but as an everlasting
memorial from the veterans of the Lost
Cause. Somewhere on it the old soldiers
may have inscribed Erected on this
spot by the gracious permission of the
legislature"

DIRECT FROM CUBA.

Philadelphia, March 19.-The Earn
line steamship Earnwood, Capt. Rogers,
arrived at Richmond today from st. Jogo
de Cuba, the scene of the Cuban hostili-
ties, laden with full cargo of iron ore,
but the ship, which flies the British flag,
was in no way molested. While on the
outbound passage, when eight miles out
of Guantanmo, on March 10, she was
hailed by the Spanish torpedo catcher,
Neuva Espana, but hove to, saluted and
passed on about her business. A number
of troops from Spain were expected to
arrive at st. Jajo shortly after the Earn
wood left and the general belief in that
place is that the instruction will be pro-
ionged for some time and will be crowned
with success. The authorities, when
Cautain Rogers left, were much alarmed
and were keeping sharp lookout for
two leaders who were said to be en- route
from San Domingo. They would try to
land somewhere on the coast, possibly
to the westward of st. Jajo and the coast
was being patrolled by gunboats.
"Just before we left said Rogers,
Spanish troops captured boat contain
ing two Germans who are held on sus-
picion of having been leaders of the in
surrection on Cuban shores. st. Jajo is
now under martial law, the civil authori-
ties having handed over the reins to the
military government

CUBAN AFFAIRS DISCUSSED.

Madrid, March 16-Questions relating
to Cuban affairs were today debated in
the chamber of deputies General lopez
Dominguez, minister of war, censured the
press for recent comments upon the stu
alton, AT this all reporters quilted the
chamber. This was intended as n pro-
test by the minister of war on the officers
who last night attacked the offices of the
Madrid newspapers. The attacks on the
newspaper offices were provoked, it is
claimed, by the publication of an article
charging that the officers in the service
of Spain have been SO reluctant to vol
unteer for the Cuban service that the
government has been compelled to draw
lots to determine who shall be ordered to
the front. Great excitement prevails
here. The military governor of Madrid
has resigned.
The directors of the leading newspapers
held meeting this evening and agreed
unless the government would guarantee
the liberty of the press they would sus-
pend all issues.

TRIBULATIONS.

The society man went off with the leg
islative party and the pious man has
been handling his matter. Last night he
thought the proper thing to do was to go
for supper where the society duck takes
his meals. Thither he hied himself and
at the door leading to the spacious dining
room he was met with great eclat and
a colored waiter with a big paper of
chrysanthemums on the lapel of his coat.
All the tables were crowded and the
pious man noticed that most of the
guests, young ladies and men, had a
truly wonderful and to the pious man an
inexplicable way of twisting their hands
while handling their knives and forks.
rs it tough meat that causes the
young folks here to twist their hands?"
he asked of colored Irishman who wore
green in his button hole.
mo, sar dey does dat to show dey
dimun rings"
Alas, too true vanity of vanities.
"kinkillen" in big red letters figured
on the bill of fare and the pious man.
remembering it was st. Patrick's Day,
ordered the waiter to bring bucket of
it.
The aforesaid waiter looked tired and
he was completely overcome when the
upios man in loud, happy voice ex-
claimed, Pass that molasses Jug"
Dat amt 'lasses; OATS wine," huskily
whispered the waiter. de 'lassses am
in pewter cans"
The pious man managed to worry
through dinner and hastily left, to the
evident relief of the colored waiter.
By the way, society item was left out
Sunday, owing to the impossibility of
supplying a few words, no doubt mad
yertently left out by the writer. 1t was
describing dance and was treating of
the light fantastic toe" "rhapsodies"
and such things when there was an
omission at critical period when a lady
was supposed to be doing something out
of the usual order and the pious man,
not being up on society slang and ways,
could not supply the proper words.
The Associated Press man suggested
the words, "she broke the circuit"
would be eminently correct and make
the sentence read smooth.
The railroad man declared most vehem-
emily that the Associated Press had
grounded his wire" and was clean off,
and he suggested the words "she tagged
him down."
The ons man in the outset had sub
stitutid til, worl congregation" for
Attendance" but both the Associated
Press and railroad man declared it would
never do, congregations" never attend

the society man on his return and he
will readily supply the omission and the
article will doubtless appear next Sun
lay.

IN THE REICHSTAG.

Berlin, March 19.-The reichstag today
adopted the colonial estimates after q
heated debate. DR.. Kayser, director of
the colonial office. defended Baron Won
Wissmans administration of German
East Africa, which Chancellor Won Ca
priv censured last year. Bebel, the
Socialist leader, attacked Won Schele, the
retiring governor of German East Africa,
and of the colonial officials, against whom
he made serious charges. DR.. Kayser
declared the charges to be utterly un,-
the members of his department. The lat
ter said that anonymous accusations
should be repealed until Bebel gave the
names of his informants. Bebel and
Richter continued to demand without
avail an inquiry into the charges that
they brought against the colonial de-
partment.

SAMPLES OF APOLOGIES

Washington, March 16.-In the event
of Spain apologizing for the Alliancia
question, the question has arisen as to
what form the apology will take. In
diplomatic usages an expression of re-
greet is often accompanied by an offer to
salute the flag of the country to which
an international discourtesy has been
given. This was the course of the United
States in salutnig the French flag in 1855
and saluting the Brazilian flag in 1866.
In the former case the French flag was
saluted as means of apologizing for an
indignity against the French consul at
San Francisco.
Mr.. Marcy, then secretary of state.
first offered to moke the apology by salut-
ing the French flag on French man-of-
war stopping at San Francisco. Count
De Sartisgris, the French minister at
Washington, asked. in addition, that
when the consular flag at San Francisco
was rehoisted it should receive a salute
This was declined by Mr.. Marcy. France
was not satisfied, but after some months
the French government agreed to accept
as sufficient satisfaction an expression of
regret by the government of the United
States, coupled with the provision that
"when a French ship of squadron shall
appear in the harbor of San Francisco
the United States authorities, the military
or naval. will salute the national flag
borne by such ship or squadron with a
national salute and the French ship or
squadron whose flag is thus saluted will
return the salute gun for gun"
The salute to the flag was thus given
and with such apology the incident closed.
In 1866 the United States sent man
of-war to Brazil for the express purpose
of offering an apology by firing salute
to the Brazilian flag. The United States
had seized the Confederate ship Florida
at Bahai. Brazil, thus violating the neu-
trality laws.
Mr.. Seward, then secretary of state,
announced purpose to make full apology,
including the dismissal of the United

States consul at Bahai, who advised the
attack; the court martial of the United
States naval commander, who committed
the offense. and salute to the Brazilian
flag. The last feature of the apology was
spot where Brazilian neutrality had been
invaded. .
In the Virginius case, the United States
demanded salute of our flag as part of
the apology from Spain, but the salute
was afterwards waived on its appearing
that the papers of the Virginius were
based on false affidavit. The official
salute of the United States to foreigners
is made up Of as many shots as there are
states in the union. The salute to the
president and his fleet is fixed number of
81 guns. Should Spain salute our flag it
would probably be by firing 81 guns.

THE CAPTAIN INDIGNANT.

New York, March 16.-Captain Cross.
man of the steamer Alliancia is indignant
at the intimation by Senior Maragua that
there were Cuban revolutionists on board
the vessel when, as reported by Captain
Crossman and his officers, it was chased
and fred upon by Spanish gun boat.
Said the captain: "Senor Nicaragua in
sinuates that the two passengers were
Cuban revolutionists and that one of the
did not have a mulatto on board, either
as passenger or employee. As to the revo-
lutionary part of his statement, it is the
rankest kind of balderdash.
'Of the four passengers on board the
vessel, one was French gentleman who
had become strapped" at Colon and whom
l trusted for his fare to this city. He is
in New York now and has called and paid
the amount of his fare. l think he can
be found by the state department.
Another of the passengers was a gen
tleman employed by the Aspinwall Fruit
company. He went out with us ON the
trip for his employers, but caught the
fever at Colon and had to come back.
"Of the other two passengers | know
nothing only that they were in the steer
age, but the purser can probably furnish
you their names. do know that neither
of them were Cubans. The purser of the
Alliancia is Mr. Charles Churchill"
Mr.. Churchill said: 1.-The gentlemen
who went out and returned with us was a
Mr.. Guggin, who is employed by the AS,
pinwall Fruit company. His home is Sui
Ivan, Maine. Both the steerage passen-
gers, / understand, came from San Fran
cisco. One was named Cardisa and the
other Craddock. Cardisa is a whaler and
a Portuguese. Craddock is miner and an
American citizen. Both men had been
from San Franciso, as near as
l can find out. They reached Colon by the
freight steamer Progresso of our own
line. My assistant obtained from both
their full history, where they were born,
where they came from and all that, which
the state department can have"

RELATIONS RE-
SUMED.

Rio de Janeiro, March 16.-The govern
ment today formally decided to resume
diplomatic relations with Portugal, which
relations were broken off at the close of
the rebellion, when a number of insurgents
were given refuge on board Portuguese
war vessels.
Washington, March 16.-The japanese
legation has received a cablegram con-
firming the press dispatches of the de-
parture of Ii Hung Chang from Tien
Tsin for Japan to arrange terms of peace
The peace negotiations will be conducted
at Simonoseki instead of Hiroshima, as
originally announced. The change was
made to accommodate Lii Hung Chang,
who is on a Chinese vessel, and if the
negotiations were held at Hiroshima he
would be compelled to transfer to Jap
anese ship.
1t is stated at the legation that asser-
tons that the peace negotiations have
been arranged already and that the whole
affair is cut and dried are erroneous and
all statements as to terms of peace are
guesses.

A CONGRESSMAN's OPINION.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 16.-Congress-
man Dockery of Missouri was in the city
today en- route from Washington to his
home Concerning the Alliancia affair he
said "Spain will have to make complete
and ample apology for the firing of one
of her men-of-war upon an American
ship. Although only one side of
the affair has been heard, yet there can
be no excuse for the deed" nothing that
the captain of the warship could offer
would place him in the light of being
justified in interfering with the commerce
of this nation.
