EXCITED OVER TIE MESSAGE.

MADRID, Dec. 9, 1Ss6.-The Madrid
newspapers are greatly excited over the
references to Cuba and Spain contained
in President Cleveland's message to the
United States Congress and declare the
Intervention of the United States in
Cuba would be unbearably humiliating to
Spain.
'.El Correspondence Militar'' says that
Spain has forces more than sufficient to
punish any interference on the part of
the United States in the affairs of Spain.
The Heraldo' says that the Cabinet
will hold a meeting today for the pur-
pose of considering President Cleveland s
message to Congress-
Ex-Premier Sagasta declares that the
message is of SO much Importance that
he Will await the receipt of the full
text of the document before discussing
Some of the Spanish newspapers de-
clare that the message provokes
Europe, not Spain alone
The general opinion here is that the re-
ferences TO Cuba and Spain contained in
President Cleveland's message to Con-
gresS show that it is the intention of the
United States to conform more and more
to the Monroe Doctrine every time a case
arises to which that principle is applica-
BILE.
The Cabinet, after debating the text of
mite judgment, which. it is believed, will
result in a modification of the relations of
Spain with the United States.
The 'Herafdo' says the Presidents mes
sage foreshadows the Intervention of the
United States in Cuba in March next, but
adds that Spain will repel the arrogance
of the American Government.

ABSENT PLAINTIFFS VICTORY.
Dull Day in the Courts on the Hill
Missing Eit5@ants.


AS usual at the opening of teNn of
court there was very little business done
this morning in any of the courts. Sew
eral cases had been set down for trial,
but because the lawyers were not ready,
or for some other reason, only three were
disposed Of In the Supreme Court jury
was empaneled to try the suit of Yetta
Jackson against Sarah Rosenthal to re-
cover s732 80 on promissory notes The
notes were made in February, 1893, by
Sarah Rosenthal and given to S. Gordon,
who has since died. The plaintiff is the
Administrative of the Gordon estate. Ex-
Judge Puster, who appeared for the de-
fendant, said that he had notified his
client several times to appear, but she
paid no attention. At the request of
rected the jury to find a verdict for the
full amount. There was no other case
ready and the court adjourned.
Four cases were on the calendar in the
Circuit Court but only one was disposed
of. That was suit of Jane O'Donnell
against Michael r. Cronin on contract.
The plaintiff failed to appear and judg-
ment was given for the defendant by de-
fault.
In the Common Pleas Court the case
of Morris Cohen against Albert Sachs was
set down for trial on appeal Max
Salinger, who appeared for the plaintiff in
error said that he had been unable to
find his client. Cohen disappeared six
months ago and Mr. Salinger has not
been able to find any trace Of him, al
though he has written all over the
United States and Canada. He didn't
want judgment to go by Gefalt, however,
and he insisted upon the case being tried.

FITz SUES eHARKEY.
The Pusflsst Wants the $4,000, Out
Of which re Saws He Was SxEindied

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9, 1S96-Col.
H. 1. Kowlisiki the legal representative
of Bob Fitzsimmons, brought suit yes
terday directly against Tom Sharzey to
recover $4,000 which the defendant is
alleged, to be withholding from the
rightful owner.
This action explained Col Kowlis-
XII can settle the whole controversy
in short order. If Sharkey, carp, Lynch
and that clique are in the right, they
can get in and prove it. If they are i'll
the wrong they will bring up some
technicality and cause delay.
1--WE will appear before Judge Sander
son and produce our witnesses. We
viii show that there was a conspiracy
by which Fitzsimmons was robbed of
$4,000 and the evidence which we have
III our possession is overwhelming The
reason We desire to put our case before
the court is that witnesses In affairs of
this kind are of a migratory character.
Their business calls them away
While they are here we want to hear
their testimony instead of having to de-
lay matters by having to send out of
the State for depositions. II the Lynch
Sharkey side wish to act in good faith
and hopes to present clear case, it can
produce its evidence either today or
tomorrow. There is no reason for de-
lay in the matter. Either Fitzsimmons
is right and Sharkey wrong, or vice
versa -

WILD WAR RUMORs.
The National Guard in This City Have
Not Been Invited TO flight spain.

Dame Rumor has it that the clouds of
war are gathering over Jersey City, that
they will soon roll down and burst over
the heads of Weyier and his apathetic CO.
hortS In Cuba In other words it Is said
that representatives of the Cuban Junta
have been endeayoring to enlist the SER
vices of officers of the National Guard
and Naval Reserve.
Investigation and interviews however.
have failed to substantiate these rurnors.
Major Brensnger when seen this morn
Ing expressed great surprise, and said: -
There is nothing in it as far as / know.
and being an old war horse fiatter my
self that would have been among those
first approached. | know many of the
young bloods would like to demonstrate
their valor, but SO far have heard moth
ing that would indicate that they have
received any invitation to do so.''
First Lieutenant Adam Step of Com
pany E said that he knew nothing of any
of the boys" being asked to go to Cuba,
and was of the opinion that they would
not get in each others way in their anx-
iety to go.
Lieutenant Pringle, commander of the
gun squad of the Fourth Regiment did
not take any stock in the story, and had
an idea that any of the National Guard
who wished to face Spanish bullets would
have done so long ago, and not have watt
ed to be invited.

CANADIAN INDIANS APPEAL
~ Cabtc to the United Press.

LONDON, Dec. 9. 1S96.-The Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council today
dismissed both of the Canadian appeal
cases which they have had under con-
sideration since November II. The cases
were the appeal OF the Dominion of
Canada against the Province of ontario
and that of the Province of Quebec
against the Province of Ontario, Involving
the liability of the provinces to the pay
ment of certain annuities to Indians for
lands which the latter ceded to the former
Province of Upper Canada prior to the for
nation of the Dominion
The Judicial Committee said 1t was
clear that under the terms of the treaties
the Indians had not obtained the right
to annuities beyond the promise, which
was merely a personal obligation of the
Governor, representing the old province,
to pay the annuities when they should
become due. The Indians, the committee
held. had not obtained the right giving
them an interest in the territory they sur
rendered and the province was not obliged
to apply the revenue derived from the
surrendered lands to the payment Of an
nuitieS.
