Maceo Is Again in the Land of the
Living.
ST. LOUIS. Dec. 10.-A special to the
Republic from Dallas, Tex, says:
The head of the local Cuban commit
tee today received a dispatch from Key
West making absolute denial of the
Spanish reports from Havana of the al
legged killing of Antonio Maceo.
The dispatch states that at 8 O'Clock
last night Maceo was again in Pinar del
Rio province, and that his army was
making successful operations against
Weyler; that since the turning of Wey-
ler's flank, December L, Maceo had cap
tured more than 1900 stands of arms
and immense quantities of ammunition,
medicines and commissary supplies.

illicit relations with Guy B. Barham,
nephew of Congressman Barham,
who resigned his place as police
commissioner of Los Angeles just
before the Seaborg divorce was granted.
Plaintiff alleges that the woman has
transferred some part of the property to
Barham for the purpose of conceallng it,
and he also sues Barham for damages
for breaking up his "happy home" and
asks damages OF $4,000.

sn;cide Is hereditary.

An extraordinary instance of heredi-
tary tendency to suicide was told by
Prof. Brouardel in Paris lately. y
farmer near Etampes hanged himself
without apparent cause, leaving a fam
lily of seven sons and four daughters.
Ten of the eleven subsequently fol-
lowed the fathers example, but not un-
til they had married and begotten chill
dren, all of whom likewise hanged
themselves. The only survivor is a son,
who is now 6s years of age, and has
passed safely beyond the family hang

1t Is Time, He Says, to Ter
inmate Spanish Control.
he OFFERS A BOLD RESOLUTION
Defending the Termination of Spain 8
Control of the Gateway of the
Gulf of Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Public inter-
est in the Cuban question was shown
today by full attendance in the gal
leries of the senate to hear the speech of
Senator Cullom, of which he had given
notice. Before he was recognized for a
speech, petitions for the recognition of
the independence of Cuba were pre-
sented.
Cullom began by saying that while he
was not disposed to criticise President
Cleveland, he had hoped for more pos
tive expression of the true American
continental policy for him. Cullom
spoke of the record of Spain for cruelty
and oppression, both in the treatment
of her own people at home up to the
present century and in her policy tow
ard the provinces on this continent.
Spain continued to be, he said, what
she had always been, robber nation.
The time lad come, he declared, for this
nation to announce the speedy temina
tion OF Spanish control of the island at
the gateway of the Mexican gull, neces-
sary alike to the welfare of these Islands
and the people of the United States.
The Cubans could never be conquered
and the war of determination most stop.
Cuba is already lost to Spain, Cullom
claimed. The American people were
coming to consider the Cuban situation
as great political continental question.
It was the duty of the United States to
use its power to declare that no ''char-
nel-house of ruin" shall be continued in
West Indian waters.
''We shall not claim Cuba as reward
for saving her from the slaughter" said
Cul1om, ''but free Cuba is the reward.
Means must be found 10 settle the
Cuban question speedily, and if other
means fail we may consider properly the
fair purchase of Cuba"
The senator received close attention
throughout. He offered resolution de-
claring that the Extinction of Spanish
title and the termination of Spanish con-
troll of the islands at the gateway of the
Gulf of Mexico are necessary"

ROLLING MILLS woKKmEN STRIKE
A. Proposal to Cut Wages Is the
Cause.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 10.-A cut in
the wages of skilled workmen in the Pa
cifc rolling mills at the Potrero has
caused strike which has practically
suspended all operations IN the big iron
mandatory. About fifty men walked
out and their action cut off the means of
employment of about fifty others. 1t is
believed that some time today COM
promise will be effected, and the wheels
of industry set in motion again.
The most important factor in the
strike is that the men were informed
that they had been working for over a
week under new schedule of rates of
which they were ignorant. There are
no indications of any trouble of a violent
nature. In the first place, there are no
iron workers of this class on the coast,
and the places of the strikers could only
be filled by an importation from the
East. This is not likely to take place,
as the Eastern workmen receive as good
wages as the men here did before the cut.
The strikers are looking forward to an
early settlement, because they under
staLd that the rolling mill has con-
tract to get out large quantity of extra
large street-car rails for a company in

The Wealthy Gamer Sues His Former
Wife.

The wealthy Canner sues Ills FORMER
Wife.
Los ANGELES, Dec. 10.-The Times
this morning says that B. A, Seaborg, a
rich Gamer of Ilwaco, now seeks to re-
cover some of the wealth he lavished
upon his ex-wife, from whom he has
just been divorced, and brings an action
against Eta Owens Seaborg and Guy B.
Barham to recover certain money, stock
and real estate.
The complaint recites that at the time
of the marriage plaintiff transferred to
his wife a certificate of stock of the
Aberdeen Packing Company, of thevaiue
of $4,000; on September 80, 1896, plain
tiff gave her house and lot at 1406

which to furnish the house; that defend
ant did not buy the furniture, but SHIELD
out'' the $4,000 for her own use; that
plaintiff is worth 500, 900 and defendant
was worth nothing when he married her.
It is also alleged that defendant mar

the intention of becoming true or hon.

regard of affection for him, but solely be-
cause of defendants regard and affection

Southwestern Traffic
Association Meets
IN REGULAR QUARTERLY SESSION
AT NEW ORLEANS.
IMPORTANT MEETING.
ABOUT EIGHTY TOPICS HAVE BEEN
LISTED TO COME UP ron
DISCUSSION.
Members VIII Contend That Cotton
Rates Should Not he Considered
Until July Meeting.
IMPORTANT MEETING.

The Southwestern Traffic association
convened In New orleans yesterday in
regular quarterly session for the consid-
GRAFTON or such business as may come
before 1t. The outhwestern Traffic as
ISOLATION Is composed OF the Atchison.
Topeka and Santa Fe; Chicago. Rock
Island and Pacific; Missouri Pacific;
Missouri. Kansas and Texas; St. Louis
and San Francisco; st. Louis South
western; Southern Pacific; Texas and
Pacific. and Kansas City, Fort Scott
and Memphis.
The objects OF the association are
the maintenance of rates through a
general agreement, and such other
agreed rules and regulations as Will
enable the traffic Of the Southwest to
be handled to the best interest OF all
the lines concerned.
1t will be noticed that Texas lines
proper do not figure in the associa<s m,
and this Is doubtless owing to the TACT
that there Is an anti trust law In this
state, which IL inimical to such organ
lzations fiourishing In Texas Still this
does not prevent representatives OF Tex
as lines from attending the meetings
OF the association, as Is evidenced by
the attendance at New Orleans.
1t Is understood that about eighty
subjects are docketed " discussion at
the New Orleans meeting, covering a
wide scope of subjects, and which will
probably require several days to ad-
| Just satisfactorily TO all interests. The
matter of physical division of freight
| territory will doubtless be one of the
chief topics Of discussion. and from this
| IL is probable the natural trend VIII be
! toward the cotton rate situation in Tex
as, which is to come up again before
| the Texas railway commission on jan
uary 81
1t is known, however, that there are
| members of the association who VIII
contend that the consideration of cot
| ton rates properly belong to the July
meeting, and will vigorously oppose
any action in that direction at this
time. The idea of those members is
that Mt the first meeting Of the new
year the time of the association should
! be devoted to the shaping up of the
affairs of the body to the requirements
of the new year without any regard to
the anticipation OF matters that man
ifest a disposition to bob up out OF
| season.
No doubt repIs sentatives OF Calves
| toms interests will appear before the
| body and urge action calculated to give
Galveston the advantages she is SO
strenuously endeavoring TO obtain. but
any action In that direction is largely
problematical In view of the existing
| circumstances.
Advices from New Orleans Indicate a
full and representative meeting. and
from the multiplicity OF questions that
must come up for consideration ses-
