MINOR BILLS PASSED.
Busy Three Hour Session Held by
the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The house
held three hour session today, and
passed a dozen bills of minor impor-
tance. Among them were the follow
ing: To extend for five years the time
in which the university of Utah shall
occupy lands granted tC it; to authorize
the use of the abandoned Fort Bid
well military reservation in California
for a school for Indians; to confirm
certain cash entries for public funds
in Arkansas made under the gradu-
alton act of 1854; to provide for the 10
cation and purchase of public lands

John Y. Williams, formerly agent Of
the Fort Hall Indian reservation; to
authorize Flagstaff. Ariz.. to issue
bonds for the construction of Ieser-
vcir: pensioning the widow of Capt
John Hough to $50 per month.
The house also agreed to the senate
amendment approving certain acts of
the legislature of New Mexico, for the
issue of bonds so as to validate $172, 300
of bonds of Santa Fe county. The
Shafroth bill for the protection forests
from fire was defeated. The purpose
of the bill authorizing any member of

DENIED BY CUBANs.
They Do Not Believe That Maceo
Is Dead


WASHINGTON Dec. 9.-Senor LIE
LONE, the Spanish minister, has re-
ceiyed cable dispatch from Havana
which seems to bear out the press re-
port OF the death of Antonio Maceo and
young Gomez. He has also received of.
feial confirmation from Madrid.
At the Cuban headquarters here no
alarm is felt at the reported death of
the insurgent general Second Secre-
tary Dlaz Albertini, who is the only
member of the junta now in the city.
epressed himself in most positive terms
that the story had no basis of truth.
and was sent for the sole purpose of
influencing. and, if possible, deferring
action by the congress of the United
States.
You will notice said the secretary,
that the story contains very many
details of the finding of the body, the
marked linen and letters from the eld-
er to the younger Gomez. 1t is really
amusing to learn that Maceo wore
silk socks containing his initials
worked in red silk, and that his linen
and that of the younger Gomez, whose
body is said to have been found near
that of his chief, was also marked with
bis initials. Any one who knows ell
ther of these men knows that they
have not seen, much less worn, liner
shirts and silk socks for many day
This part of the story is quite ridicu-
lous, and bears unmistakable evidences
Of Spanish origin, and then the letter
to young Gomez. A Cuban father in
writing to his child, never signs his
name as this letter was signed-''M.
Gomez" That is a cold fornaality that
Cuban never employs. He would
have signed Your Father
The whole story is a feeble and
transparent attempt to delay action by
congress, and nothing else. The Unit
ed States and the Spaniards. too. will
soon learn that Maceo is very much
alive"

I WASHINGTON Dec. 9.-When4 4Harri-
sons administration began Henry G.
Payne was anxious to be postmaster
general, but John Wannamaker was
the recipient of that distinction Payne
has ever since desired the position. Last
spring he was regarded as an ALI
son man, because of his close relations
with Clarkson. But Payre never OPEN
ed his mouth until the Republican ma
tional committee convened in ST Louis
last June. On that occasion it was he
who made the motion that Hanna be
made chairman. After some discus
sion of pressing matters, it was Payne
who moved that full power be given
Hanna to manage the campaign. When
the headquarters were established in
Chicago, it was Payne who became
Hanna's alter ego. He now travels
with Hanna, and is undoubtedly on the.
inside of the national Republican or
ganization. He seems to have the call
on the postmaster generAlship
They who place Henry. Clay Evans,
of Tennessee, in the postoffice possibil-
tiles and name Payne for the interior
department port folio, forget that
lawyer must be at the head of the inte-
rior department; and Payne is no law
yer. He is slated for the management
of the postoffice department.. and Evans
must look for something else at the pie
counter
An Iowa man of rank, who is a long
time personal friend Of your CORE seond-
ent, says: Allison will undoubtedly
look at the position Of secretary of
state, as he looked at the treasury port
folio when it was offered him by Gar
field, Arthur and Harrison. Allison
gave no reason for declining the cabi-
net position to Garfield or Arthur but
he said to Harrison: If i were assured
that l would be secretary of the treas
ury, without any possibility of being
overruled by the president in any mat
ter, 1 might consider the proposition
favorably, and administers that depart
ment. But, every president wants to
be secretary of the treasury, too, and
the average secretary is only clerk.
I could only accept with safe assur-
ance that would have absolute charge
of the department without any inter-
ference whatever Allison will look at
the state department in the same man
ner, and will, of course decline the
proffered honor

HUNTERS ISLAND IS OURS.
HeatwoIe Receives a Map Which
ConcIusively Proves the Fact.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-Representa-
tive Heatwole today received a map of
the Rainy Lake region of Minnesota
showing the true northern boundary
of the United States at Hunters island
and all the water coursed in that vicin-
ity. According to this map, the only
continuous water course around Hunt
er's island is at the northern side.
Around the opposite side there are two
portages. The treaty between the
United States and Great Britain pro-
vides that the boundary between this
country and Canada shall be along
continuous water courses, and this map
shows conclusively that Hunters ISL
and the ownership Of which has long
been in dispute. belongs to the Unit
ed States. In this connection, it may
be said that Representative Towne's
bill appropriating $S0.00e for the ap-
Iointment of a commission to deter
mine this boundary has been reported
favorably to the house, and may be
passed at this session.

MONEY FOR cHIPPEwAs.
Provided for in Bill offered BY
Senator Davis.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, d. c. Dee. 9.-Sen-
ator Davis today introduced q bill pro-
viding for the fulfilling of the treaty
obligations with the Chippewas of Min
nesota and the Mississippi. 1t directs
the secretary Of the treasury to set
aside 1901 1923 for the payment of their
obligations and also directs that Off
cial to ascertain and set aside sum
equal to the difference between the coin
and currency value of the payments
made to the Indians between 1843 and
1S4S, with per cent interest additional.
The secretary Of the interior is to dis
burse the money. Senator Davis also
presented to the senate a memorial
from Rev. E. Y. Campbell and other
citizens of ST, Cloud, praying for the
recognition of the Deity in the consti-
tuition.

DUBOIS AS A DEMOCRAT.
His Chances for Recollection Are
Coed.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9--Although
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, announces to
all inquiries that he does not expect
to be reelected, his chances are pretty
good He has been honored during
his entire lifetime by the Republican
party, but he now expects to be elected
by the legislature of Idaho as a DEM
ocrat AS matter of fact, it is quite
likely that he will go before the Dem
ocratic legislative caucus as Demo,
crat, and receive the caucus nomina
tion. In that even. he.swin be elected
to succeed himself. and thus be enabled
to continue his course in. opposition to
all national legislation until silver shall
be taken care of by congressional fat.

Bond Investigation Committee May
Force Him to Talk

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--The sub-commit-
tee OF the senate committee on finance, which
was appointed prior 10 the adjournment of
the last session of congress to investigate the
bond issues made by the present administra-
ton, held brief session today, but adjourned
without taking any action, because of the alb
sence Of some of the members. When the
committee adjourned after its last meeting
in New York last summer, the question pend
ing before it was, What should be done in
view of the refusal of ]. Pierpont Morgan
to how much they had realized upon the
bond transactions? and that question is still
pending. 1t is presumed that this state Of
affairs will be reported to the full committee
and it is possible that the report will be ac-
companied by recommendation for prosecu-
ton.

the reports from the Spanish office at
Havana of the deaths of Gen. Mareo

ports from Havana are meager, yet
enough has been received to prove that
the friends of the insurgents in the
Spanish capital do not believe the re-
ports of Maceos death. The palace of

report by any further details, which
leads the Cuhans to think that this is
only a canard intended to influence the

to induce them to believe that Maceo
has been killed.
