TRAITOR ON THE COMMODORE.
HE TELLS ALL ABOUT HER TRIP
To CUBA.

The TuFncOat a Fireman. Who is
Angry Because the Omcers of the
Steamer Refused to Pay Him More
MOney-He Swears the Men and
Arms We're Landed in the Prov
ince of Santa Anna.
Charleston, S. c.. March 26.-Edward
Owens, late "a fireman on the filibustering
steamer Commodore, went before the
Spanish consul here to-day and made a
statement regarding the much-talxed of
trip OF the Commodore.
He was mad because the officers of the
boat would not pay him more money. and
he had been drinking besides. He admitted
that he always knew where the boat really
was going. but he claimed to have been
"shangaied,' that is, shipped to go to one
port and then made to go TO another. He
swears he viii prosecute the officers of
the Commodore. He told the consul to-day
that the Commodore went straight to Gu
ba when she left here on the 18th. She
tried to land at night. and failing at that
she came boldly up TO the Cuban coast and
put her men and arms ashore. There were
% men, he said, among whom were Gen.
De Soto, and six boat loads of rifles ma
chetes and ammunition. He said the land
ing was made just around a cape which
was, he thought, in the province of Santa
Anna. The men aboard were mostly Amer
leans of Cuban extraction, Gen. De Soto
being the only man of note among them.
They did not drill while on board the
Commodore, but when they landed they
all put on caps with Cuban flags on them
The Spanish consul said that he could
take no part in the matter until official rec
ognition of owens statement had been
taken. If Owens wished to prosecute the
officers or libel the boat the Spanish gov
eminent would help all it could after the
case had been made, and if the United
States district attorney would start pro-
ceedings, Spain would help to push the
matter by getting witnesses, etc.

CRISP TO MEET DU BIGNoN IN MAY
Secretary smith Not Looked Upon as
"a Candidate.

Washington, March 26.-Hon Fleming
G. duBignon Of Savannah. the av6wed
sound money candidate in Georgia for the
United States Senate. arrived here to-day
for the purpose of consulting Secretary
Hoke Smith and Judge Crisp. and arrang-
ing a joint debate on the financial ques-
tion. Mr.. duBignon met Messrs. Smith
and Crisp during the day and talked over
the situation with them, but no dates
does not believe Secretary Hoke Smith
viii be candidate for the senatorship,
although an impression to the contrary
prevails TO very general extent through
out the state.
There is no occasion for Mr.. duBignon
and Secretary Smith TO engage in joint
debate, because they are on the same
side or the money question. It is with
Judge Crisp that Mr. duBignon Is anx-
ious to break a. lance upon the stump. The
eX-speaker's April dates are pretty well
filled, but he will probably arrange with
Mr. duBignon for several meetings dur
ing the month OF May.
Mr.. duBignon says Mr.. Crisp Is under
the impression that the choice for sena-
tor Will be declared at the June primaries
i'm the variOEs counties, AMI In that
event, there will be no occasion for fur
ther debate If, as he Crisp anticipates,
the nomination viii fan into his lap. MIR,
duBignon prefers that the selection should

national democratic convention in June.
II the chicago convention snOulu uQopA
a free silver platform, Mr.. duBignon says
he Will not be n candidate for the Senate.
IT, on the other hand, the convention
adopts a sound money platform. he Will
contest every inch of ground In the state
with Mr. Crisp, regardless OF the action
of the primaries The consultation be-
tween Mr.. Crisp and Mr. duBignon was
conducted upon the most amicable terms
possible, and they will both enter the
canvass free from all personal feeling.
While at the capitol Mr.. duBignon also
called upon Congressman Turner and 9TH
er members of the Georgia delegation.
1t appears that Mr.. Turner is not happy
at the prospect of a three-cornered joint
debate between Messrs. Hoke Smith, Crisp
and duBignon. He contends that no good
can come to the party from these Joint
debates and he claims that II would be
more profitable for the gentlemen who
are to engage In them to unite in lighting
the common enemy, the republicans, and
nefrain from party sLrife.

AN END To WARS HORRORS.
New York Lawyers Working for In
ternatiOnaI Arbitration.

New York. March "a plan providing
for permanent international court of
arbitration for the settlement of disputes
by civilized nations in general and be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain in particular, was considered to-day
by the committee on international arbi-
tration OF the New York state bar asso-
citation.
The plan was not given out for publica-
tlon, because 1t is not yet considered ma
ture in all its details 1t is the object
or the committee to obtain the concur
renee and cooperation in the final fOrma-
uon OF this plan Of all the bar associa-
ions Of this country as well as Great
Britain. Canada and Australia.
Inc meeting was held at the Office of
Edward G. Whitaker, No. % Broadway.
president of the association. Correspond
ence had already been opened with the
various associations of the country and
favorable replies were read to-day from
those Of Maine, West Virginia, Wisconsin,
New Mexico, Georgia, New Hampshire,
Missouri, District of Colorado, Iowa, Nir-
glnia and Michigan. The meetings went
IN executive session and the plan so far
as 1t has at present progressed was pre-
seuted to the committee by the sub-com-
mlttee appointed some time ago to con-
slider the matter.
Before the formal adoption of the plan
It will be submitted to President Cleve-
land in a memorial from the association,
but this Will not be until the arbitration
committees Of all the state bar associa-
y
President Whitaker when asked what
were the general features of the plan pro-
posed said: 1T provides for the naming
by the United States government and
Great Britain of some of the highest ju-
dicial officers who shall constitute a court
for the adjudication of all diplomatic diff
ferences that shall arise between the two
nations. This court is to be always in
session in a legal sense. That is. il will
always be ready to meet whenever called
upon by the joint action of the two govern
ments.
'"The American members of the court
are to be taken from the federal judiciary.
The English, will of course, make their
chancellor a member. 1t is possible that
we may recommend that Germany and
France shall be represented. That will de-
pend to some extent on the attitude of
those countries and also of Great Britain.
The object will be primarily to settle
the disputes between the two countries,
but we anticipate that the advantages of
the court will become so obvious to other
nations that they will also seek its bene-
fits and submit their disputes to its de-
cisiOn, rather than resort to war"

RECOGNITION OF THE CUBANS.
THE CONFEREES ACCEPT THE
SENATE RESOLUTIONS.

They Provide for According to Both
spanish and Cubnns All the Rights
OF DelIigerents in the Ports and
Territory of the United states.
They Also say the Friendly Onices
of This Government should BE OF
fered to Obtain Recognition of
Cubn's independence.
Washington. March 26.-The conferees
on the Cuban resolutions. after a short
session this afternoon. agreed to the res
olutions as they originally passed the Sem
ate. This result was practically reached
yesterday. II shuts out all further de-
bate i'm the Senate. where there was evil
dence Of a spirit of antagonlsm that the
committee believed would be exercised
to the ultimate defeat of any
and all resolutions. The House.
it IS believed. will agree to
the report without delay. In the form
as thus agreed to the resolutions are as
follows.
Resolved. by the Senate Cthe House Of
Representatives concurring therein)
that, in the opinion of con-
gress. condition Of public
war exists between the government Of
Spain and the government proclaimed
and for some time maintained by force
of arms by the people of cuba; and that
the United States of America
should maintain a strict neu-
trality between tho contending pow
ers. according to each all the rights Of
belligerents in the ports and territory
of the United States.
Resolved, further. That the friendly Of
fees Of the United States should be offered
by the President to the Spanish govern
ment for the recognition of the inde-
pendence of Cuba.
The action Of the five conferees was
unanimous. Senator Lodge Of Massachu-
setts the sixth member Of the committee
the first that the House Conferees would
agree to the Senate resolutions, since II
was known that the systematic course OF
ilibuStcring, which has already been pur-
sued in the Senate, would be continued
there, if the effort to pass the House res
OlutiOns were maintained. At the meeting
to-day the Senate conferees reaftrmed the
statements to this effect that were made
by them yesterday, although asserting
that could the House resolutions be
brought to a vote It would be found that
two-thirds of the Senate would favor their
adoption. The House conferees who have
held out strongly for their own resolutions,
saw the futility Of further argument and
by consenting TO accept the Senate reso-
lutions brought the three days conference
to an end.
Mr. Hit, the chairman Of the House
foreign affairs committee, will at the first
opportunity call up the conference report,
and ask it's consideration. 1t will probably
be followed by some debate, but II Is not
doubted that il will be adopted.

Request That She BE Christened
with Water Not to BE Acceded To.
Philadelphia, March 26.-Charles H.
Cramp, president of the William Cramp &
Sons Ship and Engine Building Company,
the builders of the battleship Iowa, stated
to-day that he thought wine would be
used in christening the vessel when she
shall be launched on Saturday. Mr..
Cramps remarks were brought out by the
acton of the residents of Moulton, Ia, in
adopting resolutions, in which they re-
quest Gov. Drake to cause his daughter
Mary, who will christen the ship, to use
water, instead of wine. Mr.. Cramp fur
ther said: I'VE furnish the bottle, and
the person invited to do the christening
usually accepts it and breaks it,, as di-
rected. We have frequently been petit
toned by representatives of the temper
ance organizations to use bottle of water
instead of wine but the custom has been
to use wine and we have discovered no
good reason to change it. AS a matter
of fact however, there is usually more
disgust over the spillng of the wine used
at the launching of a ship among people
who are not total abstainers than among
those who are. The former think it is
a useless waste of wine, when water
would answer the purpose as we'll"

A TRAIN DERAILED AT EASTMAN.
The southern's sOuth-BOund Vesti-
buIe wrecked.

Eastman. Ca, March 26,-Southbound
vestibule train No. IA of the Southern
railway was derailed here at 4 o'clock this
morning.
The accident was caused by a mail
pouch thrown from the train striking
and breaking a switch stand, causing the
switch to open and the train to take sid
ing, except the engine and mail car,
which stuck to the main line.
This train is run on a fast schedule,
making no stop between Macon and
Jesup and had a down grade of nearly
a mile before reaching the switch
All the cars except the last Pullman
were deraied.
The first-class opach turned partially
over and the smoking car completely over.
Conductor Edison was the most Sc
riousy injured person in the wreck.
Pullman Conductor Wells was shaken.
Mrs John Roy of Chattanooga, Tenn,
had a hand bruised.
Miss Edith Miller Of Warren, o., had
an elbow bruised.
Two freight cars standing on the sid
ing were turned over and the trucks
knocked from under them, breaking down
a telegraph pole and grounding the wires.
A pair of wheels from under one OF these
cars rolled up the street $50 feet, lodging
against a store.
Most of the wrecked cars were at the
crossing of Fourth and Railroad avenues,
blocking the former most OF the day.
How so many passengers escaped un-
hurt Is remarkable.
