ments em5odies in the appendix. did not
correspond with tic words in the docu

than one case the sense of the original
passages were departed from.
Sir Richard Webster. attorney general
repliedsshat the quotations were material
parts of the case and were correct The
slight verbal discrepancies We're due to
the hurriedly revised translation OF some
documents and there had been no time to
make corresponding alterations in tie
quotations. The error in one case con-
sisted in putting summary within quo
tation marks.

CUBAN SITUATION.
President Cleveland Said to be
Closely Watching Every Move.
Army Officers Refused Absence for Fear OF
Future Embarrassmenis.

Washington. March 13.-Ths President
Is known to be giving much attention to
the situation in Cuba. So far as can he
learned, nothing definite has yet been tn,
outcome Of his consideration. Rumors
that an investigating commission for al
army officer has been or will be sent te
Cuba DO not find corroboration among
weil-informed officials.
Several army officers have applied for
leave Of absence with permission to go t.
Cuba, but in each OF these cases, permits
sion was refused. While 1t is not believed
ut the war department. that any officers
who made such application desired to take
part in the present hostiitics it was
deemed best 10 keep them away from
Havana.
it was thought the Spanish government
might he suspicious of the presence of
United States army officers in the per
tufbed section, ana it was feared that the
feeling against this country might lead
to incidents in which these army officers
might be invu!ved that would be decidedly
embarrassing to the governments at
Washington ard Madrid.
Is was obviously impossible that any
American army officer could have visited
Cuca under the present conditions with
out their presence being promptly reported.
1t Is learnea that permission to 90 to
Bermuda and other British fortified ports
near the United States coast have been re-
fused TO United States army officers since
Mr.. Cleveland Venezuelan message WAS
sent to Congress. The reason for this is
obvious. American officers might be held
in distrust as persons seeking Information
about the British Notifications, and the
war department did not propose TO take
any chances

WASHINGTON, Feb although
no news is obtainable of definite ma
ture in regard to the number of bids
already received at the treasury de-
partment for the new per cent. loan.
it is certain that the number is large
and undoubtedly exceeds the expecta-
ton of the officials. Some of the esti-
mates place the number as high as /, 500
or 1900. As to the amount of bids or
the rates offered nothing is known as
the original envelopes in which they
were received still remain unopened in
one of the treasury vaults. A number
of we'll known bankers who are sup
posed to be interested in the loan are
in town and others are expected to ar
rive tomorrow. It seems to be the gen
eral expectation that a great majority
Of the small bids will be at figures to
realize as low a rate as per cent.
of S119. or S1193229 per hundred. while
the large bids are expected to call for
rate as high as us, or $40 1892 per
hundred. All talk in regard to the
matter. however, is purely speculative,
as nothing is known in regard to it.

Farmers. AIIiance.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4-The Ma
tional Farmers Alliance and Industrial
union met here today. Zach state is
entitled to one or two delegates and
nearly every state is fully represented.
j. F. Willetts of Kansas, is president;
d. P. Duncan of South Carolina, sec
rotary. While the leaders of the alli-
ance have long held that the organiza-
ton is non-political, it is understood
great pressure is being brought to bear
bring the alliance as a body into the
claimed the alliance is stronger than
ever before in its history.
While the sessions were conducted
behind closed doors and the delegates
are instructed to maintain secrecy,
many of the delegates are known to
favor joining forces in the coming cleo
tons with an independent party made
up of the silverites and the Populists.
The session this morning was mainly
preliminary. After the usual commit
tee appointments an Invitation was
presented from the house committee
on banking and currency to appear be-
fore that body and confer with it's
members, probably tomorrow.
This was accepted and the following
appointed: j. T. Willetts, Kansas; H.
L. Loucks South Dakota; Mann Page,
Virginia; c. R. White New York and
E. NJ. Wardell. California.
A business session was held this af-
ternoon at which the annual address of
the president and report of Secretary
treasurer Dunn were read. The cleo
ton OF officers will occur tomorrow.
