ARGUING FOR STATEHOOD.
silver Question Comes Up to Bar the
Territories.

Washington, April 7.-Today's meet
tories was devoted to discussion of the
Arizona and New Mexico statehood
bills, No vote was taken. Delegates
Murphy and Catron asserted that oppo-
nents of statehood were doing talking
merely as hlibustering move, Conse-
quently the meeting was rather a warm
one. The two delegates exerted their
endeavors to induce the committee to
vote, anil refused to be drawn into de-
bate, although the opponents of state
hood asked them many questions. To
prevent consumption of time the dele
gates declined to answer most questions,
taking the ground that the matter had
been thoroughly discussed already.
The only test vote was that upon con
sideration of the bills, which carried,
to s Those voting for consideration
were Perkins REP. Ia.), Lefevre (Rep,
N. ", Avery rep, Mich.) Harris
REP, o., Turner, Dem, Val, Cooper
Dem, Texas.) Against Knox rep.
Mass J, Taft (RepA o., Lowe rep, n
", Harrison dem La, Owens Dem.
Ky,).
Mr., Taft, during the discussion, de
clared that congress could not blind it
eyes to the fact that the admission o
the two territories would add four vote
for free silver to the senate. He argue,
it was not fair to the existing status tina
their functions should be changed in tn
midst Of a great controversy like tn
financial question; the question shoul
be settled by the Union as it now stands
and the sound money men should nc
be handicapped by new silver state
He also charged that IS per cent of tn
inhabitants of Arizona and 50 per Ger
of New Mexico are illiterate
Mr. Owens said the territories, who's
area was greater than that of New En-,
llnd and thei- population less than tn
required for a congressional distris
were unfit for statehood He also :
tackled the system of representation pr
posed for the constitutional conventic
in Arizona as partisan one, devised
further republican Interests
Mr.. Avery held that the only gu,
lions to be considered were the quail
cations of the territories for statehot
il Mr.. Harris argued that the sill,
: question should not be brought into I
controversy.

To further appreciate the conditions
of this country will relate what |
heard in the city of Trinidad while there
a few days ago. The Rev. Father Cuervo
Y. Canonigo said:
~ believe that all the Cubans posi-
BILE should be killed off, and clear the
country, and in that manner make room
for families which can be brought over
from Spain to Cuba. The negroes
and mulattoes should all be killed off
silently and without making any com.
ment, and their property confiscated
Therefore, when we would bring fami-
lies over from Spain and coonize the
island, we could give them this confis-
Gated property and they could make
good start in life. The Cubans who
send their children to the United States
to be educated should be taken hold of
by the police and quietly placed where
they could do the least harm, because
those Americans have republican ideas,
which are the real cause of the present
desire of the Cubans to revolt The
Yankees are the people who sympathize
with the Cubans and the are response

insurgent camp commanded by one of
their leaders, believe, by one La Crete

tiers of a great many of the insurgents
were with them. These women are not
camp women, but some of them were

were orderly, we'll established and dis
