Turner, of Georgia, the ranking member of the minority, said that the committee did not have the power to formulate bill for the next congress He also sug- gested that if current rumors were to be credited, the chairman MT. Dingley, better wait until the next administration, he might, as secretary of the treasury, give advice and instruction on the sub ject to those who will be asked to legis- late upon it.

SENATOR R. M. CUNNINGHAM
Discusses His Convict Bill Before the Jefferson County Medical Society at
 the Meeting Last Night

The Jefferson County Medical society met in the Commercial club rooms last night. President R. M. Cunningham was in the chair. and there was a good attendance. The president precipitated an earnest discussion on a bill he has introduced in the general assembly, which provides for the separation of con victs who have infectious diseases, and especially tuberculosis. He said that the largest mortality among the convicts was due to tuberculosis, and that this disease could be cured under favorable circumstances. He said that it would cost something to have this separation made, but that he placed man above money. The great mortality among con- victs was due to the want of proper measures of precaution-we had good in- spectors and good contractors. Dr. Thos. D. Parke followed in an earnest talk, favoring the measure. He said 100 con- victs out of 1000 died every year. This was a fearful mortality. Alabama held human life too cheap. The people must be educated to a full realization of this enormity After further discussion 0 committed, consisting of Drs. Parke Bar clay, Robertson, Johnson, Sholl and Jer- nigan was appointed to get up the facts, present them to the state health officer and have him send out a circular to the county medical associations, requesting them to memoralize the legislature on the subject
 A resolution was passed making the sanitary officer elective by the health committee.

dina, Fla, bound, it is alleged, on fili- clustering expedition.
 Secretary Herbert was asked tonight about the reports that the Newark and Raleigh had left for Havana to prevent the execution of the crew of the Com petitor, which had recently been cap tured by the Spaniards. He said that the vessels had gone to sea so suddenly for the purpose of preventing the neu- trality laws of the United States from being violated He was quite emphatic about the Competitor rumor, and said: Tn the first place, know nothing about the expected execution of the crew of the Competitor, therefore have not ordered vessels to Havana to stay their eXecu- tion."
 In other naval quarters it was inti- mated if such was the intention of the government 1t would amount to virtual declaration of war to back up such a demand by the presence of war vessels, for if the demands were refused, the only of this government would be to endeavor to enforce the demand at the cannon's mouth.
 The hasty departure of the United States cruisers Newark and Raleigh caused much excitement and many ru- mors were circulated as to their destina- ton. One is that the Competitor prison CTS are to be executed tomorrow and that the cruisers have gone to Havana to pre- vent it. This rumor caused the widest excitement but could not be verified. The most probable rumor is that the vessels have been. ordered to intercept the Three Friends, which left Fernandina last night with an expedition for Cuba.

committee on military affairs, reported the army appropriation bill. He stated mat It carries an appropriation of $23,- 5,o44, which is about 900 less than the estimates of the secretary of war and SloS,OOO below the appropriation for the present year. No provision Is made for the army and navy hospital at Hot Springs, Ark, as the secretary of war recommends that 1t be transferred to the interior department to be rented
 The secretary explains that the num- per or patients at the hospital is so small that they are practically no more numer- ous than the attendants and that under the circumstances it would be cheaper TOT the government to board the patients at a good hotel.
 Bills were passed constituting A new division of the eastern judicial district of Texas and providing for holding terms of court at Beaumont, Tex; permitting the mayor and city council of Monroe, La, to bridge the Ouachita river opposite that city.
 A joint resolution recognizing the inde- pendence of Cuba was introduced by Mr. Howard, pop. Ala.). It recites the pro- round regret of the American people at the reported brutal assassination of the Cuban leader, Maceo." It declares that spain Is conducting a brutal and guerilla nke warfare against a patriotic people who who are struggling for indepen- dence. as did the founders of this repub- lie. It resolves, therefore, that the United States shall recognize Cuba as a. Tree and independent government, and shall accord to her people all such rights in the ports and within the Jurisdiction of the United States.

MEETINGS EVERYWHERE

For the Discussion of the Cuban Cues
 tion-Congress to Be Petitioned.
 New York; Dec. 1.-The Cuban junta in New street had more callers today than any one day since its establishment. Americans to the number of between 700 and 800 tramped up stairs and asked that they be enlisted in the army of Cuban fibre. Not one of them was accepted The laws of the United States prohibit the enlistment of men here for foreign armies. The men who want to fight for the cause for which Maceo died have been so numerous lately that the Cuban lead CTS here issue to applicants by letter printed form declining the services of the sympathizers.
 Delegate Palma received over a score of telegrams today from Jacksonville, Key West, Dallas, Tex; Paris, France, Hayti, and different points in Mexico stating that meetings were being held for the discussion of the Cuban question and asking for intelligence regarding Maceos alleged death.
 A petition urging congress to take some definite action in the conflict now being waged between the Cubans and Span iards and expressing sympathy for the former, is now being circulated in this city among merchants and business men and is receiving many signatures.

ARMS AND MEDICINE NEEDED.
Plenty of Men to Do the Fighting and
 No More Need Apply


 Plenty of Men to Do the Fighting and
 No More Need Apply.
 Washington, Dec. 14.-Senor Ganzalo De Quesada, in charge of the Cuban lega- tion in Washington, in an interview to- day said he had no direct news concern- ing Maceo's death, and did not care to speak on the subject in a critical sense until he had such direct news. Then he continued: Knowing Maceo as do, and having been conversant with his remark able shrewdness and the care he eXer- cised always in dealing with his merci- less enemies, cannot believe that he was killed in fair and open fight. But until I learn for a certainty the way he met his death, I will not follow Spanish ex- ample and resort to sensationalism to bolster up our cause.
 "We do not need it," exclaimed Senor Quesada. Every principle of right and justice and humanity is on our side, and every civilized man in the world knows 1t. Of its ultimate trump there is no doubt. wish you would announce again that no recruits are wanted for Cuba. We are being overwhelmed now, owing to the reported death of Gen. Maceo with want to devote themselves to service in our behalf, but we need no more men, nor leaders. What we need Is arms and am- intuition and medicine and stores for the sick and needy. There will be no difficult ty in sending such supplies to Cuba, whereas, the transportation of armed men would be in violation of the neu- trality laws, which the Cubans have not cared to infringe upon."

Over the Sudden Departure of Two War
 Vessels for the South.
 Washington, Dec. 1.-The feeling that has been aroused throughout the country by the reported assassination of Maceo, is causing the government officials here no little anxiety, and they are watching developments closely. Tho daily pub lished dispatches giving accounts of meetings throughout this country, in which not only resolutions sympathizing with Cuba are adopted, but measures taken to- send armed men and munitions of war to Cuba are receiving strict at tention in government circles here. Even if government officials did not so closely advise themselves they would not be al- lowed to remain in ignorance of passing events, as Senor De Lome, the Spanish minister, has agents at all the principal ports along the Atlantic seaboard and in the larger cities who report to him daily, and these reports or their contents are daily laid before the state depart ment. One thing that can be positively asserted is that the United States will exhaust every effort to preserve its neu- trality engagements, and thus estop any claim for damages by Spain on account of violation of neutrality laws. It is with this object in view that the war yes- seIs, Newark and Raleigh, left Key West today. They have gone to sea to intercept if possible, Three Friends, which Is reported to have left Fernan-

SHELLEY IN BIRMINGHAM
En Route to Washington-He Thinks Uncle Sam Should Hands of of
 Cuba for a While.

Gen. Shelley was in the city yesterday attending to some legal business. He Is en route to Washington, and will leave either this morning or this afternoon.
 He was seen at the Morris yesterday by State Herald reporter chatting free ly with his many friends.
 The General remarked that he had been away from his office now for about three months, and his business is very much in need of his attention.
 q have given three months hard la bor to the democratic party" remarked the General, land I might say without one cent of revenue in return. but the public would take that with a grain of salt, and it would be useless to say that"
 But the party and the people appre- ciate your services, General, and 1t may be as bread cast upon the waters."
 "I am satisfied with the appreciation, and know the democratic party recognize my services, but I have no disposition to again enter politics. desire now to give my entire attention to my law practice. I am not asking any public honors and don't know that will"
 Speaking of Cuba Gen. Shelley said he did not think America should take any part in the trouble just yet. That In case she does war with Spain will be the ulti- mate result, and there is no telling what countries in Europe will come to her assistance. France Is considerably in- terested, having loaned Spain large amount of money and would naturally be inclined to protect 1t. And other coun- tries may be interested in way that might involve America in very serious trouble. He sympathizes with Cuba and thinks 1t ought to be free, but America is peaceful country and not seeking con- quests. She has all the territory she needs or wants, is independent of the world and it is, therefore, unnecessary for her to create trouble as long as it can be avoided.
 Mrs. Shelley will spend the holidays with friends in Talladaga, while Miss Shelly will visit Selma friends.
 Gen. Shelley says he will return to Ala bama for short stay some time in Jam uary.
