HAVANA, CUBA, April 26.-Captain-
General Martinez de Campos arrived here
at $3.50 P. NJ. yesterday. Immediately after
his arrival became known Generals Arde-
RUS Baraquera, Squero and Molines, with
their aids-de-camp and number of Of
fcers of all grades delegates from the vari-
Gus political parties and friends of those
taking part in the reception, went on
BOARD the steamer Villaverde in order to
greet De Campos.
The news OF the arrival of the Captain
General spread rapidly, and immense
crowds soon filled the streets, and on the
principal thoroughfares the national colors
and patriotic emblems were everywhere
displayed.
After being taken ashore in a felucca the
captain-general went to the palace and i'm
mediately afterward began giving orders
concerning the conduct of the campaign
against the insurgents.
He says that the rainy season has re-
tarded the advance of the troops, but
nevertheless the military operations will
be pushed, as the rebellion must be SUBJ
dued promptly and effectively. He ex-
presses the belief that this will soon be
accomplished, adding that he relies upon
the patriotic support of all classes of peo-
pie.
From 9 o'clock until noon to-day the
aptain-general received visits from the
authorities. corporations and societies and
from all others DESTROYS of greeting him.
He will soon leave Havana for the front.

LONDON, ENG, April 26.-In well in
formed English quarters to-day it is de-
clared that the British ultimatum to
Nicaragua has not been modified; that
Admiral Stephenson has not been cabled
to extend the time granted Nicaragua
within which to pay the indemnity of
$75, 900 demanded by Great Britain, and in
the absence of definite news it is believed
that the admiral has already occupied
Corinto. The belief is also expressed here
that the Nicaraguan Government will not
yield to the demands of Great Britain
until compelled to do so in order to avoid
being forced to resign Office.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting on
the troubles between Great Britain and
Nicaragua, says that nothing could be
more courteously correct than the attitude
of the United States in the difficulty, ad-
ding: cit is a good omen for close
understanding upon the China Japan
question. Our action may be expected to
teach the Spanish-American States that
none of them are too insignificant to be.

THE RAPACITY CHECKED.
Mission of William G.. RalSton
to the National
Capital.
HE ENTERS A BIG PROTEST.
Califo rnians Have Cried Out In Vain
Against the IndisCrIminate
Grants Made.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 26.-The
work of protecting California miners
against the rapacity of the Southern Paci-
fic land-grabbing agents, begun by Repre-
sentative Caminetti, is being prosecuted
citation. They have a regular agent in
Washington for the purpose of looking
after the interests of the miners of the
State, and now he is REINFORCED by the
arrival of William c. Ralston of San Fran
cisco.
1t is alleged by the regular representa-
tive of miners in this city that it is next to
impossible for him to receive any satsfac-
ton at the Interior Department when he
goes there to protest against the granting
of mineral lands to railroads, and he
charges, furthermore, that the railroad s
land attorneys here are allowed unusual
privileges. By an order promulgated by
Secretary Hoke Smith, railroad land
agents in the West are constituted judges
OF the character of the land selected
whether mineral or non-mineraD, their
affidavits being sufficient.
In vain have California miners protested
against this unfair procedure. Represent
tive Hartman of Montana succeeded in
having a bill passed through Congress
suspending patents to railroads in his State
until the lands had been classified. Rep
resentative Caminetti tried to have the
same law made applicable to California,
but the Nevada and Oregon Senators de-
feated his purpose. He was only success
full in securing a resolution requesting the
Secretary of the Interior to suspend the
issuance of patents until March 4.
After the adjournment of Congress he
remained in Washington for several weeks,
in an attempt to get Secretary Smith TO
suspend them until the lanos were CLASH
fed. 1t was understood that this would be
done, but it seems the miners are yet dis
satisfied, so Mr.. Ralston, secretary of the
Miners Association, is here to look after
matters.
He had rather an interesting and breezy
interview with the Commissioner of the
General Land Office yesterday, and as a
preliminary to further action on the part
OF the miners he entered formal protest
against the issuance of these patents until
the Land Commission can be appointed to
properly classify these lands. If the de-
partment decides that it has no power to
appoint such a commission Mr. Ralston
will ask that patents be suspended until
Congress can create one.

EMOTIONS TO CONTINUE,
Agent Beck Will Proceed With
the Forcible Removal of
Settlers.
Enormous Profits of Land Com
pany In Subletting the Indian
Tracts.

OMAHA, NEBR., April ga special to
the Bee from Lincoln says: The Federal
court has refused to grant the injunction
requested by the Government to restrain
the Flournoy Land Company from issuing
more leases on the Winnebago Reservation
to settlers. This complicates the trouble.
Captain Beck now declares that he will at
once eject all the settlers now on the res
ervation.
The decision was rendered by Judges
Dundy and Riner, sitting together.
Several months ago an order was issued
restraining the land company from making
any more leases. This injunction was con-
tinued until such time as the case could be
heard on its merits. 1t is said tonight
that the ruling of the Federal court will
not deter Agent Beck from proceeding with
the eviction of the tenants who claim their
farms under the disputed leases.
Beck said tonight that he would at once
evict all settlers. A conflict of authority is
possible. In 1880 spectators began OPP
Grating in these lands under illegal leases
and have continued to do so ever since.
The Flournoy Company leased $1,000 acres
of land and sublet large portion. 1t Sc
cured the land from the Indians for about
20 cents an acre and sublet it from them
for 81 so to 81. All these original leases
from the Indians were clearly illegal and
for years Indian agents have attempted to
break up this system.
In the five injunction cases being
brought the same questions were raised
The attorneys for the Government asserted
that the Government preferred to proceed
by civil process instead of employing the
military force at its command. ALI the
Government wanted to do was to enforce
collection of fair lease and get rid of the
spectators. The Indians were to be per-
mitted to lease the lands in accordance
with the established rules of the depart
ment at Washington.
The courts action to-day in refusing to
order the land company and settlers to
vacate its disputed lands makes the trouble
more complicated than before.

WILL ANSWER MORTON,
Chicago Packers Await the
Completion of the SeCre-
tary's investigation.
All Ready to Prove That a Beef Com
bine Does Not and Cannot
Exist.

CHICAGO, Ill, April 26.-Chicago pack
ers will make a statement in relation to
the charges that the present condition of
the beef markets is due to the existence of
a combine Z. J. Martyr, confidential
manager of Armour & Co., who has the
whole subject in charge for that firm, said
the statement would not be made probably
until Secretary Morton had announced
the results of Investigations now being
made by his inspectors at various points.
Mr.. Martyr declined to comment on the
interview with Secretary Morton, in which
the Secretary adduces numerous things
which, he says, go a long way to justify
the claim that beef ring exists.
1--WE shall wait until the investigation is
concluded" said Mr.. Martyr, "end then
we will have something to say. The con-
di.ions existing in the market for cattle
and dressed beef are strictly natural con-
ditions, brought about by the laws of
supply and demand. There is absolutely
nothing artificial in prices. The supply of
cattle this spring is 10000 head short.
There are no indications of an increase in
the receipts until July, when cattle from
the Northwestern ranges will begin to
come in"
DR.. Melvin of the United States Bureau
of Animal Industry at the Union Stock
yards, who was ordered by Secretary Nor
ton to look into the charges made, said he
had forwarded various figures and data to
Washington, which, he admitted, practi-
cally completed his report. Inspector
Dubee has been at the yard several days
pursuing an investigation on his own ac-
count. DR.. Melvin, says Mr.. Dubee, is
making simply a regular examination.
The packers however, of whom Mr.. Dubee
has asked numerous questions, believe he
is gathering information on the subject of
a possible beef com bine.
The representative of a heavy packing
interest said the agitation against the
packers in the East has resulted in a sharp
falling off in shipments of meat to the
seaboard cities. Many people have either
quit buying beef or have greatly restricted
their purchases. Popular feeling is I'M
doubtedly excited. The action of the Leg
islatures of numerous States in enacting
laws that practically prohibit the sale of
butterine is an element in the present stu
alton. 1t is said by packers that a closed
market for butterine makes a difference of
over 81 in the value of a steer. That is to
say parts of the carcass which were worked
up into oleomargarine are now practically
OF no value.

STRANGLED THE INFANT,
Arrest of a Man Who Killed a
Babe to Hide a Daugh-
ter'S DiShOnOr.
His Son, Who Is Studying for the
Ministry, to Be Taken as an
Accomplish.

WHITE HALL, Wis, April 26.-Alvas
Andrus, farmer living near Osseco, this
county, was brought here to-day, charged
with numbering the infant babe of his
daughter, Mabel Andrus.
The story of the crime. as reported by
the daughter, who made the complaint, is
that on April %, 1892, when she was but II
years old, she gave birth to an illegitimate
child at her fathers home. and that after
its birth, it is alleged, he took the child
from its mothers side and strangied it to
death.
The body was buried near the barn, and
the father threatened the daughter that
she would be hanged if she ever told of the
affair.
Edward Andrus, the eldest son, is now a
student at Lawrence University, at Apple
ton, this State, where he is studying for
the ministry. The Sheriff has gone to ar
rest him as an accessory to his father
crime
