TO RECOGNIZE BELLIGEREsor,
General WeDJer viii Issue q Proclama
fio7l to That Effect

General Wepler Wiu Issue a Proclama-
ton to That Effect.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. GA Herald
special from Washington says: Just as
soon as General Weyler, the successor OF
General Campos in command of the Span.
ish forces in Cuba, assumes his new duties
he will issue proclamation, 1 understand
| practically giving belligerent rights to the
insurgents.
1 learned at the department yesterday
that Secretary Olney has been advised of
the proposed proclamation and of the nro-
gramme Spain has SO far outlined for car
rying on the war. The proclamation will
declare the intention of Spain to carry on
humane war as long as the Cubans con-
fine their war to civilized methods. Cen
eral Weyler will issue the proclamation. il
is expected. within a week. It is the ex-
Dectation of the Spanish Government that
the rebels VIII agree to the terms of the
proclamation to be issued, and cease the
destruction of property of non-com batants.
The action of Spain in this matter is
looked upon as shrewd diplomatic move
by the Madrid authorities. The comm.
nication received at the State Department
was very friendly in tone, and it relieves
the United States from taking any steps in
the direction of suggesting action by her
looking to belligerency, such as was sug-
gested by the resolution favorabIy reported
by the majority of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee.
That the Secretary of State has not COM
munlcated the proposed action of the
Spanish Government to the members of
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
is shown by the fact that it agreed yester-
day upon the substitute for the resolution
heretofore reported.

PROSECUTION OF 1rscHERs.
Omtra0es in South Carolina That VII
Not Pass Unnotic ed.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 6. - Several
weeks ago at place called Broxton Bridge,
IN the wilds of Colleten County, two
negroes, man and woman, were whipped
to death by white men,. and another, a
woman, was so terribly lacerated by buggy
traces that for several days she fingered
between life and death. 1t was the first
case on record of woman having been
lyncf1ed in this State. The charge against
Isham Kearse, the man murdered, was
that he had stolen Bible from church.
Coming directly after the passage of the
anti-lynching ordinance by the constitu-
tional convention the affair caused SEN
sation. Governor Evans sent a detective
to the neigaborhood, and as result a
number of prominent men have been
arrested for murder.
Court will convene on February IL at
WalteFboro, and the cases will be brought
to trial within three days. The State
Solicitor is Duncan Bellinger, the author
of the anti-lynching resolution in the con-
stitutional convention and the man who
worked up. such a sentiment in that body
that they provided for the disfranchise-
ment of any officer who allowed prisoner
to be taken from him by a mob, and rem
dered the county in which lynchIng oc-
Cured liable for damages in not less than
$1,000 to the heirs ola man murdered by a
mob.
Several of the accused men have prop
erty, standing and influence, and power
full array of legal talent to represent them.

WIFE MURDER
The Woman's Throat Cut by Her
Jealous and Drunken
Husband.
Made a Desperate Attempt to Kill
Himself, but Will Re.
cover.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 6.-George Bax-
ter, a logger, who recently came here with
his family from Roslyn, Wash, at o'clock
this evening slashed his wife's throat from
ear to ear in the Winters lodging-house on
Davis.street and Grant avenue, East Port
land. She died in few moments.
The act was committed while, it is sup
posed, his jealousy was fired by drink.
When the police kicked in the door of the
room, Baxter drew razor across his own
fore the officers could club the weapon out
of his hands. he inflicted six deep and
ugly wounds upon himself, and fell to the
floor in an unconscious state.
Coroner Cornelius, however, does not
think that Bakers injuries are necessarily
fatal. He was taken to the Good Samari-
tan Hospital and the remains of his victim
are now at the morgue.
Both had been drinking heavily to-day,
and at o'clock this evening they were
seen crossing Burnside-street bridge in an
intoxicated condition. The woman wanted
to return to the West Side, and quarrel
ensued. which resulted in her death an
hour later.
The people in the house know very little
OF the couple, but give it as their opinion
that the man was Unfortunately jeanlous of
his wife. They also say that at times he
acted as if he had been mentally unbal-
anced.
The only surviving eyewitness to the
bloody affair was their four-year-old
daughter, Edna. She is bright child,
as yet incapable of realizing the enormity
of what has befallen her. She said:
Mamma and papa had quarrel, and he
struck her in the face, which made the
blood come, and she fell on the floor. I
asked papa if mamma was dead and he
said no. We then both kissed her and
papa began to cry"
An inquest will perhaps reveal more OF
the motives prompting this tragedy.

treaties of amity and commerce and with

treaties of amity and commerce and with
whom, also, friendly relations exist.
Other mem bers of the committee ques-
toned Adams upon other phases of the
situation, and the suggestion. was ad-
vanced by McCreary of Kentucky that re-
cognitions of this character were purely an
executive function.
This brought Smith of Michigan, one of
the young members of the House and an
enthusiastic sympathiZer with the Cuban
insurgents, into the discussion. Smith in
sisted that the constitution contained
no authority vesting such power in the ex-
ecutive. A recognition of belligerency,
however, which might involve war, was,
in his Judgment, legislative function,
and therefore a concurrent resolution of
recognition, which should be presented to
the President for his signature, would fix
the responsibility where it belonged
namely, upon the legislative branch of the
Government. He informed the commit
tee that Senator Sherman in 1870 reported
resolution recognizing the belligerent
rights of the Cubans at that time.
After further discussion Hit, the.chair-
man of the committee, announced that the
correspondence desired had been prepared
at the State Department and that as soon
as it was received by the House the COM
mittee would be called to consider it.
Money of Mississippi interjected an OBJ
servation that it was the duty of this Gov
ernment to remain on friendly terms with
the Spanish Government. To this Smith
made pointed denial. The point was also
raised that citizens of the United States
have large property interests in the island
and the question was asked as to the effect
of resolution of belligerency upon these
interests. Smith replied that he had
given no thought to that question and that
he never measured his patriotism by dol
lars and cents.
