SCHOOL HOUSE
Public Property Destroyed In a Shame
less Manner at Saguache.

Saguache, Colo, March 23.-This
morning it was discovered that some
time late on Friday night some one
broke into the school building in this
place and committed acts of vandal-
ism which have aroused Indignation in
this community. In the high school
room, grammar and Intermediate de-
partments they ritled the desks, broke
nearly all the states. destroyed books
by tearing them, stufiug them into the
stoves and %dulnpina lem by the arm
full into the closet vault. Ink was
spattered over the room and the beau
tiful school flag was daubed with black
ink. The loss of the books is a heavy
burden on many OF our people, as the
district last fall adopted new works,
which caused heavy expenditures in
this line. Officers are working on the
case, and If the guilty parties are
caught 1t will go-hard with them.

he VIII o to recommit the Cuban
resolutions to the conference commit
tee. He said the object was to secure
such a modification of them as will sat
isfy the scruples of some Of the senator,
who are opposing the resolutions and
to secure a vote at an early day
Senator Mills of Texas introduced
the following joint resolution:
Be it resolved by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled. That the president of the United
States is hereby directed to request the
government of the Spain to authorize
ereignty of Spain, to institute such lo-
cal government as they may wish. and
TO invest it with such powers as they
may think necessary to secur to the
people OF Cuba the right of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
Section >. In case Spain shall re-
fuse to grant to the inhabitants of Gu
ba the rightful power of self govern,
ment, then the president Of the United
States is hereby directed to take pos,
session of the island Of Cuba. with the
military and naval forces of the United
States, and EJid the same until the
people of Cuba can organize a govern
ment deriving its just powers from the
consent Of the governed, and arm and
equip such military forces as may be
necessary to protect them from invas-
ion.
AT 3 O'Clock the motion of Senator
Sherman to refer the Cuban resolution
TO the conference committee was
adopted without division.
The senate at once turned to other
business, and while the galleries did
not realize for some time that the Gu.

PACIFIC ROADS CONFERENCE.
House Committee Now Awaiting the
Action of the Senate.

Washington. March 23.-Whenever
the Pacific railroad bill is presented to
the house it will probably be a Joint
production of the house and senate
committee. A sub committee of five.
appointed by Chairman Powers. is
waiting for the senate committee to Sc
lect a similar body to meet it before il
begins work and it is expected tina,
Joint conferences will be held in a
week. 1t is understood that Speaker
Reed will not select a successor to Mr..
Boatner Of Louisiana on the commit
tee for several reasons. Mr.. Boatner.
who was unseated last week, confident
ly predicts that he will be reelected at
a special election to be held within a
month and will again take his seat in
the house and resume his committee
work. A member who has not given
particular attention to the question
would be at a disadvantage at this
time. In the last congress Mr.. Boatner
led the opposition to the funding bill
and his views are unchanged and the
California delegation which was work.
ing for a foreclosure is anxious for his
retention on the committee.
