MENEL|K TRIES STRATEGY,
Peace 0vertures of Abyssinia's
King Are Regarded With
Suspicion.
His Purpose Believed to Be to Gain
Time in Which TO Prepare for
Attack.

ROME, ITALY, Jan. ia dispatch re-
ceived from Massowah to-day states that
the situation at Makalle. the position
which the Abyssinians Aave been trying
for some time to capture, is unchanged.
1t is reported that Menelik, King of the
A Abyssinians has offered to treat for peace,
but on what conditions is not positively
known. 1t is alleged that he offers that
the Italians will not be harmed if they
abandon the fortress at Makalle and re-
treat.
1t is believed the negotiations on the
part of the Abyssinians are only for the
purpose of gaining time, in which to make
preparations for another attack on the
Italians. The Abyssinian force numbers
5000 men, most of whom are armed with
Remington rifles. Ten thousand of them
are armed with lances.
A majority of the troops, who were at
Adigrat, have advanced to Adamus under
the command of General Baratieri.

sentatives fer help. This is not the fault
of the State Department, however but of
our Congress, which has failed to provide
as literally for our diplomatic and con-
sular agents as other countries have done.
"The Presidents recommendation IN his
annual message that our consular service
be improved meets with my approval
The Post to-day roasts Mr.. Olney thus:
I'VE think it mistake to ask....for British
Intervention on behalf of those American
citizens who are now prisoners in the
hands of the Transvaal authorities. The
Americans in question are held by Presi-
dent Kruger for an alleged offense against
the peace and safety of the Transvaal, and
1T is to him that the State Department
should have applied. Great Britain, as we
know, while acknowledging the inde-
pendence of the republic, claims sort of
control over its foreign relations, but then,
as we also know, Great Britain claims
everything when the victim of her pre-
tensions happens to be remote and feeble.
Certainly there is no occasion why the
United States should have recognized
these pretensions, especially since there
could be no effectual way of imperiing
the prisoners, as to whose well-being we
are supposed to be anxious.
"No intelligent observer of the episode
of which the Jameson invasion was the cul-
mination harDors the very least doubt that
the conspiracy was of long and careful
preparation; that it had the entire SYM
pathy of the British authorities in South
Africa, and was fully known to and un-
deTstood by the members of the Govern
ment at London. To what good end,
therefore, could be an appeal to England
in the matter OF our imprisoned citizens,
if, indeed, we had in view their welfare
1t seems to Us that unless we wished
merely to make an affectionate and defer
ential overture to Great Britain, the ap-
peal in question should have been made
directly to President Kruger. To us the
measure bears every appearance OF blum
der"

Re.enforcements to Be Sent From

Leader.

MADRID, SPAIN, Jan. 19.-It is officially
stated here to-day that the Government
has appointed General Weyler to succeed
General Campos in Cuba. He will sail
from Barcelona for Havana on January 25
General Suarez Valdez has been appointed
second in command under General Weyler.
General Weyler is very popular. He is
an energetic soldier, and it is expected
that he will adopt severer measures than
did General Campos toward the insurgents
and their direct and indirect aiders.
The Government will give General Wey-
ler twenty battalions of infantry, twenty
five squadrons of cavalry and several
mountain batteries. Fresh REINFORCE
ments will be sent to Cuba in February.
All the money required to push operations
decisively before the rains of May set in
will be furnished to the new commander.

GATHER AT ST. LOUIS.
The COnUentfon Committee to Arrange
Plans for the Meeting.

The COnvemtfon Committee to arrange
Plans for the Meeting.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 19.-The Republican
National Committee subcommittee on
convention is to meet at Southern Hotel
here tomorrow. Three of the gentlemen
are now in the city. and others will arrive
tonight R. G. Kerens has been at home
here for some time. John NJ. Ewing, who
holds the proxy of Henry c. Payne of
Wisconsin, arrived last night, as did John
r. Tanner of Illinois, with the proxy of
Committeeman Campbell from that State.
Tanner, as well as Campbell, is a memb Der
of the National committee.
One of the things to be done by the SUBJ
committee is the election OF sergeant-at-
arms for the convention. Mr.. Ewing has
brought candidate with him in the per-
son of George NJ. Wisnell of Milwaukee.
Drawn out upon the matter OF Presiden-
tial preferences Ewing says that Wiscon-
sins choice in the convention for Presi-
dent will be Mckinley, if the rank and
file have their say; but the other candi-
dates have each an army of friends in
Wisconsin, except Harrison, he says, and
there Is no telling who the delegates Will
be or how they will vote.

The Administration Fiat in His
Behalf Believed to Have
Gone Forth.
IS AN AVowED CANDIDATE.
Democratic Leaders Have Already
Shown an Inclination to Sup.
port the Secretary.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, Jan. 19.-The Trib-
une tomorrow will say: There now seems
to be no question that the Hon. J ohm G.
Carlisle is an avowed candidate for the
nomination for President, and in some
quarters it is believed that he has been
selected to perpetuate the Cleveland dy-
nasty.
In Washington last week it was def
nitely ascertained that Mr.. Cleveland was
not a candidate and would not accept
fourth nomination, even if it was ten
dered. A gentleman who is known to be
quite close to the President said to a
Tribune reporter in the Arlington Hotel,
last Thursday, that Mr.. Cleveland did not
believe in third terms, and felt that the
country's safety depended upon frequent
rotation in Office.
1t was very noticeable fact during the
three days that the local committee was in
Washington trying to get the National
Democratic Convention that many of the
delegates did not care to exhibit prefer
ence until they had consulted the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. His wish was theirs,
and at least five votes came to Cincinnati
by reason of fealty to Carlisle.
Governor Caleb West OF Utah made no
concealment of his position, and he plainly
said that he was for Carlisle for President,
and would vote for the city that Carlisle
wanted

Rear ADMIRAL Belsnap, Retired, Sound.
Warming Note.

Rear ADMIRAL Belicnap, Retired, Sounds
Warming Note.
BOSTON. MASS, Jan. 19.-Rear-Admira
Belknap, retired, believes that the British
flying squadron is coming to America, and
that it can only be construed as menace
to the United States if it does. He said
to-day:
"If the British squadron is coming over
10 American waters it is no surprise to
me. Three days ago I wrote to Admiral
Bunce at Hampton Roads that it woulc
not surprise me in the least if the flying
squadron was first heard of at La Guayra.
From the moment it was announced
that the squadron was to be commissioned
made up my mind that its destination was
America. l came to that conclusion from
the fact that matters had quieted down In
the Transvaal, and that attention with re-
gard to Emperor Williams telegram to
President Kruger had passed.
The reported activity at St. Lucia and
Halifax and at the British dockyard at
Esquimalt. at the entrance of the Straits
of juan de Fuca on the Pacific, emphati-
cally confirm such conclusions.
while some of our people are arguing
over the meaning and intent of the Monroe
doctrine, and apologizing for everything
that England does on any part of the
globe, the British Government, in my
judgment, is quietly but determinedly
preparing to take what she claims belongs
to her in Venezuela.
I'm my opinion If the flying squadron
does appear in American waters under
existing conditions it can only be construed
as menace to The United States.n

HOLDS DELAGoA BAY.
Portugal Would Not Sell the Harbor to
Great Britain.

Portugal Would Not Sell the Harbor to
Great Britain.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 19.-A special
cable dispatch to the Herald from Paris
says:
A Herald correspondent called to-day
on Senior Souza Roza, the Portuguese
Minister in Paris, in order to ascertain
what truth there was in the sensational
report that Portugal would sell Delagoa
Bay and the adjacent territories to Great
Britain. or to an English syndicate, for
800, 900, 900 francs. The following CONVEX
sation ensued:
SIS there any foundation for the rumor
that Portugal is to sell Delagoa Bay to
England?"
None whatever" was the reply. SIN
the first place, the Portuguese Govern
ment will never sell Delagoa Bay nor any
other portion of Portuguese territory.
Moreover, the British Government. know
ing this to be fact could never have
made to Portugal any proposal"

cUBANs TO BE RECOGNIZED.
President Cleveland Has Decided to
Issue The Proclamation.

Issue the Proclamation.
NEW YORK, N. Y. Jan. ia Re-
corder special from Washington says:
From source very close to the White
House word comes that the United States
ency of the Cuban insurgents.
This action would have been taken al
ready, had it not been for the supposed
American citizenship of Senor Palma, the
representative of the revolutionary party
in the United States. President Cleveland
has hesitated to take so important step
while the official head OF the revolution is
enjoying the protection of American citi-
zenship.
Secretary Olney has not felt so much
embarrassment from this cause. He has
been for some time in favor OF immediate
recognition, and has been urging the Pres
ident, but Mr.. Cleveland out of abundance
of caution, has reserved his decision until
now.
1t is understood that he is at last to issue
a proclamation recognizing the patent fact
that a state of war exists on the island.
This proclamation may be published at
any moment.
Secretary Olney last week requested
Senior Palma, who has headquarters in
Washington, to lay before the State De-
partment all the facts in relation to the
advance of the insurgents.
Objections had been made to according
bellgerent rights to the revolutionists on
the ground of their failure to capture and
control seaport and establish civil form
of government, and Senor Palma although
he has not been recognized in a dplo-
matte capacity, was asked to furnish the
department with any facts in his posses
sion that would help to meet these obiec-
tions. The response to the Cuban leader
was satisfactory to the Secretary of State.

SHAMOKIN, PA. Jan. 19.-According
to information received here to-day, quick
and retributive justice has overtaken an
escaped murderer from Shamokin.
Peter Priam and George Martin were
suitors for the hand of Miss Mary Marzzie
of Green Ridge, mining hamlet near
here. She accepted Martin and married
him about month ago. While the we'd
ding festivities were in progress Priam. in
drunken condition, forced his way into
the house and when ordered to leave by
Martin struck the latter down with club
and fed.
Martin died three days later and nothing
was heard of Priam until news was re-
ceived to-day that during drunken brawl
last week in the Clearfeld bituminous coal
regions he was killed by the man with
whom he was fighting.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Jan. 19.-It is
reported on what is asserted to be good au-
thoritY that the War Department at Wash
lngton has requested Governor Mitchell to
see that the Florida troops are kept in
readiness to take the field al a moments
notice. The report has caused great ex-
element
NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 19.-The Re-
corder prints the following under date of
Tallahassee. Fla: At the request of the
Federal War Department Governor Mitch
ell has ordered Adjutart- General Houston
to see that the Florida militia is in readi-
ness to take the field at a moments no.
tice. The statement is made on the au-
thority of Judge NJ. A. Dzialynski of jack
sonville. The Judge received his informa-
ton from an aid in Adjutant-General
Houston's Office.
Judge Dzialynski's informant said it
was understood similar requests had been
sent to the Governors of other Southern
States. The story has become generally
known there and is causing great excite
ment. Governor Mitchell and Adiutant-
General Houston were asked in regard to
it, but they refused to either affirm or
deny.
General Houston has been in his office
all day, and has sent kilograms to all
battalion commanders in the State. Major
Turner of Jacksonville. commanding the
First Florida Battalion, has received sew
eraI messages from the acknowledgement,
but refuses TO make known their contents
The battalion commanders at Pensacola
and Tampa also received messages from
General Houston to-day.
1t is stated as coming from the execu-
tive Office that the Washington authorities
have reason to believe that a deal is pend
ing between Spain and Great Britain for
the sale of Cuba to the latter and that the
United States is preparing to resist the
transfer of the island at all costs.
Cuban leaders here insist that Great
Britain is after the island and that the fy-
ing squadron is coming to American
waters to be ready for the war with the
United States that will inevitably follow
the attempted cession OF Cuba. Dispatches
indicate that the report about holding the
troops in readiness has spread all over
Florida and that the war fever is higher
now than the day after President Cleve-
lands Venezuelan message
