Applications. #5.
In TWenty-four Hours Eight
Hundred Personal Offers
We're Made. &#G..
Laws Prohibit Enlistment,
However, and All We're
Refused.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The offices of
the Cuban junta were besieged all day
by applicants for enlistment in the
Cuban army. Even before any OF the
officials connected with the legation
had arrived a crowd of sturdy young
men stood at the entrance to the head
quarters, waiting for the doors to open,
and before o'clock the Cuban cause
could have had 80 able bodied recruits.
All were dismissed with the informa-
ton that no men were wanted. The
Cuban officials say that they have been
quite overwhelmed with applications,
and that during the last "a hours nearly
500 men had applied for enlistment, all
of whom were refused, owing to the
law prohibiting enlistment here for
service in foreign armies. Many more
applications have also been received by
mail from near by cities.

MADRID, Dec. 16.-According to sur

Ter will soon be relieved of his COM

tions in the province of Pinar del Rio.
1t is currently reported that the
government is disposed to replace Wey-
Ter by General Marin, now governor of
Porto Rico
General Marin has seen considerable
military service in the cause of Spain,
participating in the last Cuban war. At
that time he had for adversaries on the
insurgent side some of the men who
figure prominently in that service to-
day. General Marin came to Cuba
permanently with Martinez Campos
when the latter was appointed captain
general of the island. He acted as
captain general when Campos was in
the field against the insurgents, and
when Campos was recalled as the result
of the dissatisfaction of the Spanish
government with his campaign, Marin
took his place during the interregnum
between the departure of Campos and
the arrival of Weyler. With the lat.
ter's advent Marin was appointed gov
ernor of Porto Rico. General Marin is
about 30 years Of age.

AGAINST NEUTRALITY LAWS.
Attention of Officials Called to the Re-
cruiting for Cuba.

Attention OF officials CARED Co the he-
cruiting for Cuba. e.,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The atten-
ton Of officials here has been attracted
by the stories coming from all portions
of the country indicating that enlist
ments are going on OF parties of men to
20 to Cuba to join the insurgents in
their struggle against the Spaniards.
These enlistments are in direct violation
of the neutrality laws and are prohib-
tied under severe penalties. For &C.
cepting commission to serve against
Spain, a country with which the United
States is now at peace, the penalty pre-
scribed by Sec 52S1, Revised Statutes, is
S. 900 fine and three years imprison.
ment, while for enlistment to serve
against Spain or hiring anyone to en-
list, the penalty is almost as heavy.
being maximum Of $1,000 fine and
three years. imprisonment. The en-
forcement Of these laws naturally falls
within the functions Of the United
States official to whose knowledge the
attempt at infringement is brought,
but if the movements continue Oh as
large a scale as reported, it is probable
that the department of justice will send
instructions of special character to all
of it's agents calling their attention to-
the proclamation issued by the presi-
dent last spring and enjoining upon!
| them strict enforcement of the neu.
trality laws.

Radical Cuban Resolution From the ILL.,
nOis Congressman.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-Representa-
tive Woodman of Illinois has introduced
a joint resolution directing the presi-
dent TO intervene in Cuban affairs. The
resolution, after reciting General Ma
coos assassination and Spanish cruelties
in Cuba, says that the president has
failed to carry out the wishes Of the
people; that the honor Of the United
States is at stake, and that history
gives no precedent on which to base q
hope that Spanish operators will change
to compliance with civilized warfare.
The president is directed to express Sc
we're condemnation Of the Spanish
methods Of warfare, especially the MUIR
der of Maceo; to recognize the indie.
pendence of Cuba, and to demand Of
Spain the Withdrawal Of all troops
from Cuban soil. He is also directed
to take proper steps to see that this de.
mand is carried out.

NEW YORK, Dec. l6.-A dispatch
from Caracas, Venezuela, to The
World says: President Crespo declines,
for state reasons, to answer any ques-
tons concerning the Venezuelan gov
ernment's attitude towards the arbitra-
ton treaty entered into between the
British and United States governments.
The situation here is misunderstood in
the United States, as is evident from
the false impressions which have been
cabled. The best men of Venezuela,
who understand the matter, favor the
acceptance of the treaty arranged be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. President Crespo will not ask
any modification of it's terms. Minister
Andrade will sail next Sunday for his
return to the United States, and this
looks us though matters stood well.

Alabama Senator Advocates a
Decisive Policy in Handling
Cuban Matters.
Spoke Freely of the POSSIBLE
tiles Of War, Welcoming it
If Necessary.
Senate Adopts His Resolution
Requesting Information
From Olney.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator Nor
gan of Alabama held the attention of
the senate and we'll filled galleries for
an hour by his earnest advocacy Of a
strong and decisive policy in dealing
with the Cuban question. The promi.
nence of Mr.. Morgan in tho Cuban de-
bate of last session, when he had
charge of the Cuban resolutions re-
ported from the committee on foreign
relations, gave special interest to his
speech. He spoke in dispassionate
style, although his words had direct.
ness and severity in picturing the hor-
rors existing in Cuba such as is seldom
heard in the senate. Mr.. Morgan
spoke freely of the possibilities of. war,
welcoming it if necessary, to guaran-
tee the
Protection of American Citizens.
He asserted that Spain's bankruptcy
would prevent the collection of any i'll
demnity for wrongs. The senator
questioned the wisdom Of the presi-
dents position that granting of bellig.
erent rights would be ''untimely. :"
Mr.. Morgan's views on the line Of &C.
ton which should be adopted was
summed up in the following:
ALTHOUGH I believe that belligerent
rights should be accorded the Cubans,
inasmuch as the president prefers u
more coercive policy and warns Spain
that the time is near ut hand for de-
cisive action, I will support him i'll any
movement that will save our people on
that island from further outrage. l
will not obstruct his course
with Questions of Propriety,
but will follow the colors when planted
by the president on the advanced
ground that the concession Of belliger-
ent rights has become 'untimely' and
that our duty now demands active in
tervention. If that crumbles away,
will again fall back to the position thut
just care for our own people requires
us to declare an armed neutrality ready
to assail either belligerent that inflicts
wrongs Oh our own people. II the
president should say, The time has
arrived, the hour has struck would
any American be SO base as not to hold
up his hands while the battle is rag.
ing"
, ADOPTED His Revolution.
At the close of Mr.. Morgan's speech
his resolution was adopted requesting
the secretary of state for papers and
information relative to the Competitor
prisoners and other American citizens
held in Cuba by the Spanish authori.
ties.
The question of passing the bill
granting Nancy Allabach u pension,

ing, occasioned considerable debate,
but was finally passed over the veto

election
