MONETARY CONFERENCE.

Resolution to Be Passed and Appolnt-
ments to BE Made by Mckinley.
, The determination of the republican eau
Gus committee to recommend the adoption
of a resolution providing for a
commission for an International mon
etary conference vas reached after
having a full understanding of tn
desires of Mr.. Mckinley in the matter If
possible the resolution will be adopted just
before the close of this session. An objec-
tion to this is that it would give Mr.. Cleve-
land the right to select the commission If
he desired to do SO. but this objection will
be removed by the understanding that Mr..
Cleveland will not exercise this right but
will In good faith leave 1t to his successor
The understanding with Mr.. Mckinley is
that the commission will be appointed as
soon as possible after his Inauguration, and
that an international conference will be i'm
mediateiy invited by him. The advocates of
this plan feel that they have assurances
that every possible effort will be made to
secure en international agreement, and
there are certain views which they believe
Mr.. Mckinley to hold which may make sue
cess possible.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.
Animated Discussion of the Subject
the Capitol.

Animated D1scuSS1On OF the Subject I
the Capitol.
The Cuban question is still fresh enough
TO engage the attention of members Of Con-
gress who meet at the Capitol these days
There was an animated discussion of the
subject today when Representatives Cooper
and Pendleton of Texas, Baker Of Kansas
and Kyle of Mississippi got together. Mr.
Kyle is opposed to the Cameron resolu-
Of their passage.
Mr.. Kyle asserts that the passage of the
resolutions means war with Spain, which
this country, he says. doesn't want He
says that the agitation over Spain and
Cuba is similar to that which President
Adams confronted In regard to France
The feeling then, he says, was in favor of
war with France. President Adams did not
desire this. The result was that everything,
was amicably arranged. Mr.. Kyle believes
this will be done in this instance
Mr. Pcndleton refers TO the fact that
Presidents Madison and Monroe granted
belligerent rights to every South American
republic struggling for freedom. In many
cases, he says, the belligerents were not as
much entitled to recognition as the Cubans
are now. He says there was no war then,
and would be none now in case the Cubans
are given the same recognition. Mr.. Pen
cleton also refers to the alleged attempt to
fntimidate this country by threats of Euro
pean interference in behalf of SPAIN
Speaking on the same subject to a Star
reporter Representative Cooper said: These
attempts to bulldoZe Congress will as init
mated in The Star yesterday, have a con-
trary effect. Americans are the last per
sons that intimidation can be practiced on
If the Cameron resolutions reach the House
and vote can be obtained, they will pass
with flash. l know that there is a good
deal Of opposition to the resolutions, but a
great majority of the members of this BODY
are IN favor of the resolutions
General Curtis expressed to a Star report
er the belief that the resolutions will not
pass the House. and he thinks the agitation
IL favor of their passage Is dying out.

REVOLT IN PERU QUELLED.
Uprising of the Indians Has Been Pur

SAN FRANCISCO, December 31.-South
American papers just received here say
that the Indian uprising in Peru has been
quelled. The government sent Colonel Par
ra, an experienced Indian fighter, against
the Indians, with a good force of infantry,
cavalry and one or TWO Gatling guns. In
small parties the soldiers penetrated into
the mountains in pursuit of the savages,
" hom they encountered I'm several camps.
Battle was given by the Indians with the
result that the Gatlings so depleted the
rebel ranks that old Jacobo, their chief
was hunted down with a few hundred
braves. Colonel PARA united his COM
mand in such a position as to rake the
camp. and thus practically the uprising
was extermnated. The situation in Uru-
gLay is critical. The government troops
have been worsted in their encounters with
the rebels, and there is a strong movement
In favor of removing President Berda and
establishing a triumvirate.
Reports from the state of Vera Cruz
Mex, state there is much bitterness be-
tween the Spanish residents and the ma
tives and Indians, the latter being parti-
sans of Cuba.
At Coatepec recently a priest raised
Mexican flag on his church and the Span
tards attempted to tear ii down. The re-
suit was free fight, in which many heads
were broken and one Spaniard nearly
killed. The flag was not moved.

THESUSPECTED FILIBUSTERS
No Clearance From the Spanish Consul fol
the Dauntless or Commodore.
His Refusal Based Upon the Law Pre-
venting the Landing of
Arms i'm Cuba.

If either of the suspected flibustering
craft. Dauntless or Commodore. sail away
from Jacksonville for Neuvitas or Santi-
ago, Cuba, they will do so without clear
ance from the Spanish consul. and there
fore will legally be debarred from entering
any Cuban port. Instruc tfonS have been
sent to Senior SOULS, the Spanish consul at
Jacksonville. who at first was disposed to
clear the boats upon application on the
theory that he was bound to do so, not to
Issue clearance papers to the boats and
also to withhold bills of health. The rea-
son for this action on the part of the
Spanish authorities is that under the Span
ish law TO arms, ammunition nor explo-
sives can be landed on Spanish soil with
out a special permit in each case, and as
the cargoes Of the Dauntless and Commo-
dore are alleged to be made up Of these
things, they are proposing to violate the
Spanish law, something that no Spanish
consul would be permitted to sanction by
the issue of clearance papers. This partic-
ular law is not a war measure, but one
that has its parallel in the French and
German law, and operates in time of peace.
as well as during insurrection and war.
In particular cases, as for instance where
explosives are required for mining pur-
poses, and where employees of the mines
seek to bring into Cuba firearms for sport
ing purposes, permits have been issued for
their landing. but otherwise no war stores
are admitted as merchandise. So If either
Of the vessels try to enter Cuban port
they will do SO under pain of forfeiture of
the cargo If not of the vessel also, while
on the other hand If they go out under a
United States clearance alone and fail to
land their cargoes at the ports named in
tfeir pepers. the parties responsible SUBJ
1ect themselves to severe punishment un-
der our laws for perjury If it 10 possible to
prove by any members of the crews that
the arms have been turned over to the in
sursents. This at least Is the contention

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Unexpected Delay in Amxing sigma
lures to the Document.

euEcS ~ tHe DOcument.
The new treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, by which all differences
between the two countries for the next five
years are to be referred to arbitration, will
not be signed at present. Secretary Olney
and Sir Julian Pauncefote closed the neso-
uatlons about seventeen days ago. and the
final draft of the treaty was made and for
warded to Lord Salisbury AS 1t embodied
all the features which had been agreed on
during the negotiations, no doubt was felt
that speedy approval would be given by
Lord Salisbury, and that the signatures to
the instrument would thereupon be affixed
at Washington. All preparations for the
signing had been made. Considering the
date when the draft was sent to London.
the expectation was that 1t would be signed
about the present time. being coincident
with the new year, and one of its most
memorable features. This expectation will
not be realized, however and the sigma
lures are not likely to be affixed before the
end of next month. The causes for the de-
lay cannot be stated, but they are sufficient
to defer the consummation of the project
In the meantime there is no reason to be-
lieve that the prospects of ultimate agree
ment are less favorable than they have
been. the delay doubtless being due to some
unessential question, as there is complete
understanding on all material questions

WRAPPED IN DENSE FOG.

Cleveland This Morning Was Almost

CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 31.-The
density of the heavy fog which has hung
over this section for several days was
greatly increased today. At II o'clock this
morning 1t was almost as dark as night in

tinctly more than a few feet away. The
fog proved disastrous to the telegraph
companies. which found 1t impossible to
use many Of their wires. and on others
communication was maintained with dis
tant points only with the greatest diflcul-
ty. The fog IL probably the heaviest ever
seen in this city.
