naNe EnllY solved It.


WAsHlNCToN Dec % Secretary Olney
has held a long conference by appointment
With Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador. relative TO the statns Of the
Venezuelan settlement and the general
treaty of arbitration between the United
States and Great Britain Mr.. Olney's
cali followed the arrival Of Minister An.
,lrade Of Venezuela ana Mr. James j.
Storrow, counael in the Venezuela case.
The results OF the conference were guard
ed with che usual secrecy which prevails
at meetings between the secretary and the
ambassador, but therc Is good reason to
believe it was the occasion for going over
several new phases of tho Venezuelan
question which have developed with the
return OF the officials from Caracas.
The officials themselves are extremely
reticent and viii say only Ia 81 neral terms
that the prospect Of an acceptance Of the
settlement by Venezuela is good.
It Is understood, however, that there
are important limitations 70 this accept
anee, which appear to make the case less
hopeful OF an immediate and satisfactory
conclusion than has been expected. The
plan Of an extra session of the Venezuelan
congress has been practically abandoned.
When the settlement was made In WASH
lngton two months ago, little doubt exist
cd that an extra session would be immedi-
atoly called By President Crcspo. Messrs.
Andrade ana Storrow left for Caracas to
urge President Crespo and the government
authorities to secure an immediate accept
ance On arriving at Caracas Mr., An
drade cnhled Secretary Olney that Pres
ident Crespo would cnll an extra session.
This was received with satisfaction at the
state department. as an evidence that Nen-
ezuela would act promptly Since then,
however no call for an extra session has
been issued. 1t has developed also that a
strong sentiment existed against an extra
session coming only n short time before
the regular session of Feb. 90. As 80 days
must elapse after the notice OF an extra
[ session the congress could not possibly
convene before Feb / or thercahout. Tn
der these circumstances It is practically
settled that there Will be no extra session,
but that the regular session will be AL
yanced 90 days under custom prevailing
in Venezuela. The congress meets for two
months, according 20 law, but usually 20
has been extended 90 days beyond the two
months. 1t Is felt that this extension
might be added 10 the beginning OF the
session with the same propriety as 30 the
end OF the session. For this reason the
present outlook Is that tho Venezuelan an.
thorities viii convene congress on Feb 1,
or 20 days ahead of the usual time. This
will give a regular session without the ok
ira expense and confusion of an extraor-
dinary session.

wAsHlNGT, Y, Dec. 29.-No information
has been received at either the treasury dc
partment or the department Of justice re-
specting the suspected 1libuster Three
Friends, except the announcement of her
seizure nor have any special instructions
been given to the local officials as to the
legal course to be pursued. There is no
doubt that the officials are not entirely sat
isfied with the way the business of pre-
venting hlibustering expeditions from
leaving our ports has been conducted, and.
it IS believed that Assistant Secretary
Nike, who Is now in Florida, will mako
1t his business TO investigate the whole
matter
1t is known that tho Spanish minister
here has made repeated complaints at the
state department that some of the govern
mont officers in Florida have money inter

violating the neutrality laws Is carrying
expeditions to Cuba. These complaints
have toen forwarded 70 the chief customs
officers in Florida, and while the reports

OMAHA, Dec. 29.-Senator Thurston
talked ON war last night before a large
crowd. members of the Chautauqua circle.
He created considerable enthusiasm. In
beginning lie announced his intention TO
vote for the recognition of Cuban indie
pendence He declared he did not want
war, but there were worse things. He
said "War Is Gods thunder in a
storm which clears the atmosphere All
through history war had been the most
powerful factor in bringing about prog
ress. A war that had for its purpose lib
erty and justice was God war and work
ed out God purpose in the destinies Of
mankind. Senator Thurston said he would
cast his vote for the recognition of Cuban
independence with the full knowledge
that such action was fraught with grave
danger to our national peace. He serious
ly apprehended that when this country
places itself on record for Cuban recogni-
ton the Spanish ministry would declare
war on the United States regardless Of the
consequences.

o1ner and pe 1ome,s NerotlatIona.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2a.-The Post this
morning says that it has been learned
from an authoritative source that Secre-
tary Olney and Senor Dupuy dc Lone, the
Spanish minister, have practically termi
mated the negotiations on the Cuban ques-
tion, which are TO be submitted to con-
gress when it conyenes on Jan. 8. The
terms of the agreement are based on the
recent official communication from Pre-
lnier Canovas addressed to the secretary
Of state.
The premier states clearly the terms
which Spain will accord to the insurgents
and practically asks the United States to
propose these conditions to her rebellious
subjects. In return for our good offices
spain assures this government that she
sincerely deplores the great commercial
loss which we have sustained on account
of the Cuban disturbance. She assures us
that she is even now consideringa recipro-
city treaty which will deal mainly with
Cuban products and which will be framed
in such advantageous terms toward this
government that our losses both in com.
nerce and in the destruction of American
property in Cuba will be most generously
compensated.
Premier Canovas says that Spain can
not, of course, as a self respecting and re-
specting nation, stand before the world as
having been coerced into measures bv the
United States. She has freely granted all
that she now offers, ard that in the face
of a rebellion. But she accepts the good
Offices Of the United States to act as medi-
ator and to guarantee to the insurgents
amnesty and the enforcement of the new
reform law which she is about to proclaim
in Cuba.
The form of government offered Is, the
Spanish statesman declares, the limit Of
independence which can be granted TO n
province by any nation without absolute
" severing the bonds Of union with the
mother country Autonomy, as enjoyed
by the Canadians, can never be granted in
Cuba.
What Spain is willing to grant the in
surgents if they lay down their arms and
what she asks the United States to guar
itee is an act which provides tor a coun
ell Of administration which shall control
all matters pertaining to the commerce Of
the Indies and all estimates upon the gen.
eral taxation and expenditures of the is
land as well as its general home govern

HE WOULDN'T SING.
sienor Pacini Refused 70 Respond to
Bravas and WAS Imprisoned.


Bravas and WAS Imprisoned.
CARACAS, Venezuela, Dec. 20.--One Of
the most extraordinary scenes ever witness
ed in place of amusement was enactod
here at the Opera House.
An actor was put in jail because he re-
fused to respond to the enthusiastic
bravas" which followed particularly
fetching solo sung by him ia a particular
ly popular production.
"lernani" was tho opera, and that
member of the cast who most appealed TO
the brilliant assemblage, which always
bows to the sway Of music here, was ST.
gnor Pacini. lie was the baritone star, and
he received such an ovation as even DO
Reszke might have been proud of.
He sang, and the audience applaudod--
applauded with hands, feet and all its
lung power
Pacini was tired, or something was the
matter with him, and no declined yigor-
ously to sing agnin. This, Of course, was
agreeable TO tho management. but the
storm of desire still sounded from tho
body Of the theater 1t kept up and in
creased, and the whole building rang with
a vOciferously expressed South American
inclination 20 hear another baritone solo.
Still Paoini declined and still the man
agement insisted, and compromise was
effected.
VERY we'll " said pacini to the man
agement. If you as we'll as the audience
insist upon my going on the stage again
as an encore, why, will so. Raise the
curtain.
The curtain went up, and before the au-
dience, suddenly stilled by force of antici-
patton, appeared its idol. Pacini. But he
did not sing. He stood silent a moment
in the middle of the stage Then, walking
rapidly up to the footlights, he said
brusquely:
81 have sung. What more do you want.
Then he disappeared In the wings, and
the people yelled. They screamed and
shrieked and screamed again, and all the
fervid admiration for Pacini that they
had expressed before was turned into a
vooally expressed desire TO have his blood.
The uproar became so terrific at last
that the police interfered. They told paci-
nj that unless he appeased the audience
by singing again they would arrest him.
Pacini, in choicest Imlo-E Espanol, refused,
and they, exasperated beyond all patience,
seized him and carried him off 30 jail.

Up to this time these statements have
been allowed to pass as satisfactory an-

It could only be in the nature Of proceed

ers "But, said he, If we are to proceed
against these people as pirates and ma

oeed also against those Spaniards who
have fitted out the same kind of expedi-

and those who were born in Spain. They

the United States in Cuba. He says:
"Thc Austrian court and government
have long been uneasy over the attitude Of
American jingoism toward Spain, and
suth uneasiness has long been the subject
Of diplomatic talks. The queen regent of
Spain is one Of the most beloved princess

respect she has won from the Spaniards
have strengthened the affections reserved
for her In her own family, and there will

The Chronicle suggests that NJ. de
Biowitz's unfounded statements of Satur-
dav. that the German government had
made concentrations To Washington pro-
testing against intervention In Cuba, may
have originated in one of the periodical
nerturbations Of the German emperor con-
ceruing the affairs Of the world which, "
saws The Chronicle, failing a better gov
ornment he takes under his care. We be-
lieve that the French foreign office has
been sounded in regard TO Cuba in an
anti American sense, but anything like
concerted action on such subject is out
Of the question.

the following particulars regarding the

That it was very popular in London is
proved by the fact that Braham made it
