GIVES SATISFACTION.
United States Action in the Ber-
muda Case.

O<tHEs
NEW YORK. Feb. 2S-The United
States authorities have taken step
in the Burmuda case that gives great
satisfaction to the Cubans. Hereto
fore there has been no legal process in
connection with the seizure of the
steamship and the lighter James T.
Stranahan and the lighters cargo of
arms and ammunition. They were de-
tanned under executive orders, the
president of the United States having
power to act in such cases, but no
court authority had been brought into
TeQuisitior, except in the case of the
men for whom warrants had been is
sued.
James ]. Macklin. attorney for Nc
Caldin Brothers, who own the Strana-
han. made demand on the United
States marshal Wednesday for the re-
lease Of the lighter. He was asked to
wait until the district attorney could
look into the matter, and readily ac-
coded. District Attorney McFarlane
last night filed libel and information
on behalf of the government against
The cargo of the Stranahan, described
as containing three hundred packages
of gunpowder and dynamite cartridges
ana other substances of like character
The action is brought under section
4475 and 4476 Of the United States re-
vised statutes, which provide for the
packing of explosives for shipment.
and penalty Of fine not exceeding
$1,000 or Imprisonment not exceeding
eighteen months, or both for violation
of the requirements which are that
they shall be securely packed and
put UP separately from each other and
the package, box, cask or other YES
sci containing the same shall be dis
tinctly marked on the outside with the
name or description Of the article con-
tanned therein"
The cases of the Stranaflan contain
ing explosives are alleged 10 have not
thus been marked The libel notified
all concerned 10 appear March Is be-
fore Judge Brown, in the United
States district court, to show cause
why the packages described should not
be seized and forfeited.
Speaking Of the case. Horatfo 6
RUbens, of general counsel for the
Cubans, said:
The action of the district attorney
shows that he has abandoned the idea
OF acting on the ground of infraction
Of the neutrality laws. He thus in
PRODUCES a novelty in such cases.
There was no warrant for the govern
Hnents action on the neutrality basis.
because in all the cases that have
gone before based on the neutrality
laws the government has failed"

Misss overman,s story.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 28-Miss
Overman continued her story today and
told how, after meeting DR.. Brown
accidentally, he had revealed to her
Mrs. Davidson's blackmailing scheme.
Miss Overman said she was very in
dignant and demanded that Dr.. Brown
expose Mrs. Davidson, or she would do
it herself The arrest of Mrs. David
son followed. Mrs. Tunnel, the wo-
man who is so badly wanted as wit
ness, Miss Overman said. had been adj
vised to keep out of the way at a
conference held at DR.. Browns house.
Miss Overman, seeing the serious pre-
dicament of DR.. Brown, told him the
whole story of the plot and her share
in it.
Miss Overman was too tired to be
cross examined and the council ad-
journed until next Tuesday.

THE TIMES

on the same subject says:
1.-THE resolution is very embarrassing
for Spain, who, while she cannot but
regard the recognition as an unfriend-
ly act, is in no position to resent it,
She could gain nothing by declaring
war against the United States, who
in addition can make out a case which
is at least plausible, that it is merely
a tardy and reluctant recognition Of
pdlpable facts.
"The supplementary resolution was
avowedly added in Difference to those
who would gladly provoke a war with
Spain. The proposals of the indepen-
dence Of Cuba, presented as they
probably will be with a 'directness of
speech. in which American politicians
often indulge, could not fail to prove
in the highest degree offensive to a
proud and sensitive people. Whatever
course the president may decide to
take upon this resolution and the in
fiammatory language in which it was
discussed. demand the most serious
consideration by Spain. Her position
is one of such difficulty and delicacy
that she may we'll command the SYM
patty even of those disappearing the
recent history of Cuba. Distasteful as
almost any course, save an obstinate
continuance of the struggle, must be

best solution.

for the second year it will exceed f15,-

1.-THE seriousness of the situation

cannot be well overestimated It is
inconceiveable that Spain should agree
to give independence to Cuba. 1t is
equally difficult to see what effective

CHICAGO. Feb. 2S.-The Posts
Washington special says:
Beyond question the United States
is nearer war than it has been for
many years. The temper of congress
is strongly in favor Of active interven-
ton for the independence of Cuba, and
without a doubt is prepared to COM
init this government to extreme meas
ures in support Of that position. Mem
bers of the senate and house of rep
resentatives have been overwhelmed
with expressions of sympathy from
every kind of organization and from
hundreds of thousands Of individuals,
all indicative of eagerness for the lib
GRAFTON of Cuba, and not a man on the
floor of either chamber has the slight
est fear of OFFENDING his constituents
in going to the extreme in this direc
ton.
THE AMERICAN SPIRIT
has been so thoroughly aroused that
It is only a question of few hours
when there viii be an open declaration
10 the effect that Spain must either
terminate the .hostilities on the island
or admit the independence of the in
surgents.
The first impulse was to put politics
ahead of national patriotism and con-
fine the glory of the resolutions to con-
gress. But the tremendous enthusiasm
with which the movement has been re
ceived by the country at large has
very much broadened the views of the
leaders of both branches of congress,
and there is a manifest willingness to
make the resolutions joint in form SO
as to permit the president to partici-
pate in their formation.

London Comment.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The action of the
United States senate on the Cuban
question has aroused the comment Of
the press of the city. An editorial in
the Standard says:
1.-The senate has placed President
Cleveland in highly embarrassing po-
sition. 1t is unlikely that the proud
Spanish nation would yield if America
threatened war on behalf of Cuba. 1t
is much to be hoped that President
Cleveland will act prudently."

Mr. Sherman went on to speak of the
bad faith of Spain in putting down the
former rebellion when reforms were
promised and never executed. The rule
of Spain had always been one of OPP
preston and atrocities. The senator

is probably an idealist. Born in San

plate active Intervention It extended
our good offices to Spain with a view
of securing the ultimate independence
of Cuba. Spain contemplated the an
initiation of all able-bodied men in
Cuba in order to crush this uprising.
Spain owed Cuba as much as Turkey
owes to Armenia. or as the United
States owes to Venezuela the duty of
protection, and if this protection be
not given them the point has been
reached when the United States
should move for severance of Cuba
from Spain.
