NEWS FROM CUBA.
A Report From the Consul General to
 Be Made Public.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-A day or two at least must elapse before the re- port which Consul General Lee is said to have forwarded Saturday can reach the state department AS there has been much speculation as to what has called forth this particular report from the consul general it can be stated that aside from some brief cablegrams an- nouncing his arrival and receipt of in structions, nothing has yet been heard officially from the new consul general, so that the report from him in the or dinary course of consular routine is fully due
 It cannot be learned that General Lee was under any instructions to make a report, but for information respecting the military situation as he could gather while pent up in Havana and at distance from the fighting line, the state department would be gratifed and it would carry weight in view of the military experience of the consul general.
 His report will be of value in exact accordance with the facts contained and it is hardly to be supposed that the consul general will go beyond such statement.

AL7GELD IS NOMINATED
He Heads the Illinois
 Democratic Ticket.
Named by Unanimous Rising
 Vote.
A ContestIng Texas Deleeation-in- diana for Silver and New
 York for Gold.

PEORIA, H., June 2S.-Never before in the history of Illinois politics has there been political convention as unique as that convened today.
 It was called to order without siA- gle candidate for the nomination for governor. Of course everybody says Governor Altgeld will be nominated.
 According to W. H. Henrichsen, chairman of the Democratic state ceH- tral committee, ninety-six per cent of the delegates to the convention here have been instructed for him and oth- CTS are solid for him. On the other hand Governor Altgeld says he is not candidate. Several months ago he even went so far as to say that he would not accept the nomination, but Democratic leaders declare they will force him to accept.
 Judge Samuel P. Mcconnell of Chi cago had long talk with the governor. Mcconnell said the governor had in tended to retire from politics as he had often publicly declared. Then his health was poor and he was tired of public life. He is in good health now and his friends have brought such pressure upon him it would seem al most like deserting the cause to quit now.
 When his name was presented to the convention he was nominated by a unanimous rising vote.

WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS.

MILWAUKEE, June 23.-The cau- GUS of the congressional district de}e- gations delayed the opening of the Democratic state convention. At 1:45 ex-Governor Peck, chairman of the state central committee, called the as- semblage to order. Thos. r. Frawley, the emporary chairman, delivered a speech in opposition to silver.
 At the conclusion of Frawley's speech the committees on permanent organization and resolutions were ap- pointed A fight between the gold and silver factions ensued over the motion that all resolutions must be referred to the committee. The silver men op- posed the motion, but were outvoted and the convention took recess until 2:30,

IS OUT FOR TELLER The Kansas City Times
 FaVOrS Him. It Is a Leading Democratic
 Newspaper.
Says That He Would Command the Confidence of the Business
 World.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 23.-The Kansas City Times, one of the leading Democratic newspapers of the Missouri valley, under the caption "A True American" has this to say of Senator Teller:
 "The one central figure of the Re- publican convention to really reflect ing minds is not the man who is ex- ercising more autocratic political pow CTS than were ever before concentrated in one mans grasp in supposedly popular assembly, the trust president, Mark Hanna, nor is it his political protege, Mckinley.
 "But the man who has lowered above all the rest at St. Louis, like another Saul, has been Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado.
 "For years a distinguished figure in American politics by virtue of his clear intellect and strong, although con- servative views on all public questions, it has remained for defeat to bring out the true greatness and moral worth of the man, like star that shines from 8 setting of midnight blackness. The sweet uses of diversity are as proverb- ial as the fact that flower sheds its sweetest perfume only when bruised or crushed. But there is generally more poetry than truth in the idea when its application is made to imperfect hu- manity.
 "A man of Senator Teller's earnest ness and sincerity of character, and strength and breadth of intellectual grasp, cannot long remain in obscur- ity, even if he voluntarily resigns his position as political leader. He is un- doubtedly one of the few really great leaders of the west, and his services are too valuable, and his type of man. hood in politics too rare to permit him to remain long in retirement.
 Senator Teller would command the confidence of the business classes and would sweep the country like a prairie fire if it were possible for the Demo- cratic party to do for him what the Liberals of England did for MT. Glad stone when he embraced their cause, that is, to offer him the post of lead

the water power produced at the thirty six foot drop to pump even greater amount of water into the Consolidated at points where the water is but ten feet below the surface. Electric mot ors coupled to centrifugal pumps will do the work at minimum of expense and a maximum of efficiency. The water thus secured will of course be devoted to the uses of the Consolidated, giving that canal in times of scarcity a magnificent flow that will render the lands below it of exceptional value, as crops can be guaranteed whatever be the stage of the river. Scarcely sum- mer goes by that the farmer under the present system does not affirm that he could make $10 an acre more had he plenty of water for every month of the year. This new system will se- cure the farmer absolutely and at the lowest cost and there can be no doubt as to the entire success of the propo- sition. Through it the wonderfully fertile townships that lie southeast of Mesa will be reclaimed and planted to age of the valley will be extended by QuuuT6US or IdTuS.
 The supply is made permanent by the fact that the Tempe canal at no time of scarcity of river water will ever be cut to below 5000 inches. It is one of the oldest canals in the valley and it's priority is solid and indis- putable. It has heretofore been SUD- piled through headgates only mile distant from the Chandler power house and will still maintain its heading at that point, for it has a maximum ap- propriation of about 15,000 miners inches, equivalent to 135, ,000 gallons of flow per minute. It will of course in no wise hurt the flow for agricultural uses to first run it through a turbine, yet there have been objections made to the connection with the Consolidated. These objections have been swept away by the courts and workmen are now busy on the new tailrace that will take to the Tempe the 5000 inches of water that will be diverted for it by the Consolidated far up the river Preparations are progressing rapidly toward a utilization of the power and by the first of the new year it is prob able all the plans of the Mesa com pany will have been realized.
 Those who have studied most closely the matter believe that before five years all the machinery of the valley will be turned by electricity generated by water power. Nearly all the canals of the valley can produce power. The Hayden flour mills at Tempe are turned by water in practically the same manner in which the Chandler works will be run. The Hayden plant takes 1000 inches from the river through the Tempe canal and delivers the water below the turbine to the head of the old Salt River Valley canal Along the Arizona canal there will some day be utilized fully 1,500 horse power and together may be figured enough pressure to render this velley independent for all time of all need for other source of power.
 But the Chandler plant is the pioneer in the transformation of water pressure into electricity and the pro- gress of the enterprise will be watched with the keenest interest by every local resident.

resulted in the arrest of Major Baron

the agents of Tausch, now turns daily

The Tageblatt. the Hanover Courier
and other newspapers inspired from a

arrest OF Nornann Schumann, alias

time an occasional correspondent of
a New York newspaper and a secret
agent of the porte. Mundt maintains
villa on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland,

THE CUBAN QUESTION.
Bids Fair to Cut a Big Figure In
Congress Today.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The Cuban
question and Secretary Olney's state
ment of the executive position may
precipitate a debate in the senate to-
morrow that will set aside the regular
business assigned for the two days
that body will be in session before holt
day recess. 1t is not improbable that
some ot the more radical Cuban sym
pathizers will start the discussion with
the presentation of Senator Cameron's
report shortly after the morning hour.
Conservative senators, ,vho have
studied the precedents. are inclined to
the opinion that the talk about a
serious difficulty between the president
and congress has no sound foundation.
Cool heads viii counsel moderation.
There is not the remotest DrOba bility
of Cameron's resolution recognizing the
independence of the republic of Cuba
being acted upon in the senate before
1.-The holiday recess. When the debate
does begin. it is evident that Senators
Morgan. Davis, Chandler. odge, Gull
lom and Mills will take up a position
adverse to that of the secretary of
state. and the discussion NAV be pro-
longed till after the 4th of March.
1t was agreed in the committee on
foreign relations that the report on the
Cameron resolutions should be made
tomorrow and that the matter should
not be called up until after the holi-
days. This agreement will be carried
out.
If the programme of the senate made
before the Cuban question took such
an acute form is permitted to be car
ried out, the senate will discuss the
Oklahoma free homestead bill. which
is the unfinished business.
