PRETTY STORY SPOILED
Governor Morton Is Not Trying to Get Nc
KInley and Cleveland Together.

New York, Dec. 14.-Governor Morton,
according to statement published In
the Evening World, sent telegram to
President Cleveland yesterday in relation
to the condition of Cuban affairs and
the assassination of General Maceo in
particular The message, the World
adds, contained the novel suggestion
that President Cleveland invite Presi-
dent-elect Mckinley TO Washington 10
discuss the most feasible plan to be fol-
lowed by the president concerning the
attitude Of the United States towards
Cuba during the remainder Of President
Cleveland's term of Office.
The governor pointed out in his tele-
gram the complications that might con-
front President-elect Mckinley in dea,-
ing with the Cuban question as result
of any precipitate, or ill-advised act on
the part of President Cleveland. and sug-
gested conference between the outgoing
and the incoming chief executives.
The World article continues: 1T Is
not probable that Governor Morton
would have proffered his suggestion un-
less he believed that it would be accepta-
BILE to President-elect Mckinley. Indeed,
it is said that the governor has had some
correspondence with the president-elect
on the subject"
New York, Dec. 14.-Governor Morton
denies explicitly that he has sent a mes
sage to President Cleveland suggesting
that he invite President-elect Mckinley
to Washington for the purpose Of con-
ferring on the Cuban situation.

BROTHER JOHNATHAN AROUSED
Eager to Advance Cuba's Cause In All Pos
sible Ways

New York, Dec 14-From all parts of
the United States from Mexico and from
Paris, kilograms were received by the
Cuban junta and by prominent Cubans
in New York in which the correspon-
dents expressed their sympathy for free
Cuba and offered financial assistance to
the men who are making a fight for
liberty. One of the most ardent writers
was Herbert w. Wolcott, chairman Of
the Cuban-American league, of Cleve-
land, and brother of United States Sena-
tor Woicott. In his communication to
Fidel G. Pierrera, Mr.. Wolcott said the
American-born citizens of Cleveland We're
intensely enthusiastic and reprobated the
murder of Maceo and his staff.
Money, Mr.. Wolcott said, was coming
in faster than at any time since the war
began, and If men were wanted there
would be no trouble in recruiting more
than one regiment. So fervant Is the
sympathy for Cuba that the junta would
not be asked to expend a dollar Of its
funds for equipment or transportation,
Mr.. Wolcott said.
He wrote that members Of the Grand
Army of the Republic in Cleveland who
were officers in the civil war had volun-
teered to go with the enlisted men and
assume command of them in Cuba.
In Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, and
other Gulf states, the feeling seems very
strong against Spain, as evidenced by
communications received here. 1t is stat
ed by prominent Cubans that If vessels
can be got out of this country II will only
be few days before many thousands
of arms and many chests of ammunition
will be landed within the insurgent lines.
w. B. Gaibraith, librarian of the Ohio
State library a. Columbus. communicat-
ed with Mr.. Pierrera asking information
as to the shipping of munitions. the
transportation of funds and the forward
ing Of men to Cuba. Mr.. Galbraith said
the people of that city were thoroughly
in earnest and that they could be count
ed upon for larger subscriptions than
ever before.
In this city funds have been pouring in
to aid the Cuban cause. and many inqui-
ries are being made Of the Cugan officials
as to the best way to transmit funds and
supplies to the men who are fighting.

Havana, Dec. 14.-The United States

MOUTHS OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
Rivers Which Can BE Traced to Human
Origin.


The scare that New Orleans has lately
been treated TO by the discovery that "a
crevasse" or break in the bank OF the
Mississippi in Pass Loutre, threaten
ming the stability of the jetties. has
caused a general investigation of the
lower river. and has brought out the
fact that there are half a dozen breaks
in it; but the engineers are unable to
say whether they are natural streams or
artificial. for in the soft soil of Loui-
siana a ditch can soon grow into a
river. The name given to one of the
new outlets of the Mississippi, Baptiste
Ccllet's canal, would indicate its human
origin. but the engineers can discover
nothing of its story, for tradition has
lost record of il. Whatever il was
originally, it is now river, or part Of
river. II is well known that Bayou
Plaquemine. formerly large navigable
stream. and the means of communica-
ton between New Orleans and
southwest louisiana. was origin
ally a plantation ditch, which
the flow Of water from the
Mississippi increased in time to bayou.
and finally into a river. II then became

ishes with overflow. that il was damned
up by the government 80 years ago.
Now the United States Is spending

immense locks at its juncture with the
Mississippi. so as TO admit the largest
steamers going via the Plaquemine. TO
the Atchafalays, Tech-. and other west
