Cisneros, Statement.

NEW YORK, March 31.-The Herald to-
day says:
a manifesto signed by Salvador
Cisneros, president of the insurgent gov
eminent. has reached the. United States.
In it Cisneros states that the sugar
estates which, in the eastern division of
the island, have been permitted to grind
while all others in the west have been
prevented, do so simply because at the
beginning of the war arrangements were
estates and some of the Cuban leaders,
whereby the former, in consideration of
war tax paid into the Cuban treasury,
were granted the privilege of grinding
under the protection of those leaders. The
manifesto also states that the insurgent
armies have not burned country dwell
lings except when used by Spanish troops
as forts or garrisons, and that for the
sake of the families, wives and children
OF non-combatants, food is now allowed
to enter towns and cities at present held
by the armies Of Spain on the payment OF
am impoSt duty.
Cisneros enaphatically denies that ban
dts or outlaws form any part or have
any connection with the Cuban army, and
proclainls that now from the course being
pursued by Spain toward captured in
surgent soldiers and political prisoners,
The manifesto concludes with these
words I'VE are now strong in numbers
and in hopes, but if our armies should IN
fortunately suffer defeat in the field we
will never give up. Cuba will perish with
the world looking on before renouncing
her one great important ain1-independ-
ence."

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 81
Thomas R. Cutler of Lehi, Utah, rep
resenting the beet sugar producers,
said to the ways and means commit
tee today that the Germans were gain
ing an unfair advantage by reason of
'bounties; that it was neither free nor
fair" trade, and in his opinion the
industry and capital of our country
was entitled to protection against
the guns of foreign nations"
Germany was taking advantage of
the Cuban war to crush our sugar in
dustry, and he appealed to the com
mittee to recommend an additional
duty on German sugars. He criticised
the treasury department for it's failure
to pay the s5,OOO,OO0 bounty to our pro-
ducers, and congress for repeating the
bounty law He urged action at this
session, holding that if the matter was
delayed it would be too late.

Mere Rot.

SEATTLE, Wash, March Sl.-Oliver
Pike, whose remains are said to be in
the box sold at an express auction in
Chicago, came to Washington about six
years ago. He worked as an attendant
at the Steilacoom insane asylum for a
time. He was discharged in the fall OF
1890. He then worked for several months
at Port Blakeley in the big lumber mill.
Subsequently ne was in Aberdeen, Wash.
Then he went back to Blakeley, but in
the spring of 1893 went to Everett and
started laundry. 1t was not success.
He came to Seattle the last of June or
the first of July 1898 and stayed with
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. @. James, old friends.
He left their house at p. II. Ju.y 3
to see some friends from Port Blakeley,
who were coming to Seattle for the
Fourth" That is the last that has ever
been heard of him. Jones was in the
asylum as an attendant when Pike was
there.

WASHINGTON. March 31.-Repre-

today introduced a resolution to inves-
tigate the recent sale of bonds. The
resolution recites that charges have
been made that unfair and unprecedent-
ed advantages have been accorded by
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
Isle to a certain financial syndicate
located in New York City. and that
charges have been made against the
president and secretary of the treasury
in regard to the recent bond sale where
in the same syndicate secured nearly
one-half of the bond issue in a mys-
ferrous and suspicious manner. The res
olution then provides that committee
of five be appointed by the speaker to
make an investigation into all the cir
cumstances relating to the last three
issues of bonds and report to the house.

HAVANA, March 31.-Never in modern
times has there been a more sickening
spectacle than that which today attended
the public execution OF five Cubans, con-
dernned to death by garotte as murder
ers, violators and incendaries." The
troops were drawn up in a hollow square
and in the middle were placed chair and
post. Ruise, the public executioner.
had deputiZed an assistant to conduct
the affair. The condemned men were
brought into the square to meet their
fate. One had confessed his guilt and af-
firme1 the innocence of the others who
also protested that they were guiltless.
The first man took his seat in the chair
calmly. The iron collar was fixed about
his neck and cap drawn over his face.
The executioner undertook to apply the
screw, but was so excited that his hand
slipped repeatedly The victim died by
slow strangulation, emitting most distress
sing cries. The second execution was ac-
complished with even more distressing
awkwardness, the executioner being al
most on the verge of collapse. The pro-
tests of officers and priests forced Ruise
TO undertake the third execution, but he
did little better than the assistant had
done. Then Ruise literally fled from the
post, leaving the assistant to put to death
the fifth unfortunate Cuban, who suffered
the same agonizing experiences as his fell
lows.

Much in Evidence So Far.
NEW YORK, March 31.-In connec-
ton with the report telegraphed from
Chicago today that a pooling arrange
ment had been effected by the steel
manufacturers of the country, the
Evening Post says:
No direct confrma ton of the forma-
ton of a steel pool could be obtained
in this city and many persons prOmi-
nently identified with the iron and
steel business were inclined to regard
the story as largely imaginative. A. r
Whitney. representative of the Carne-
gle Steel company. limited, said to-
day he did not know of the formation
of any such pool as the one described
The only thing he knew of in the way
of news was that he had been inform
ed of the increase Of SO at Pittsburg in
the price of steel billets. He regarded
the formation of such pool as the one
described, as exceedingly improbable.
He had never known of all the manu-
facturers to combine; there were al
ways some who would remain out.
The report that the southern coal
and iron companies had combined and
established a joint eastern selling
agency was confirmed today. The Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company, it is
understood, was instrumental in bring
ing about the arrangement. Some Cs
the prominent iron ard steel men a.
expected to be in this city tonorr, -
when it is possible some combination
may be effected for the benefit Of the
several interests.

NEW YORK, March 31.-Among the pas
sengers on board the steamer Yucatan,
which has just arrived here, was Ebert
Rappleye, the newspaper correspondent
who, after three months stay in Cuba,
was banished from the island by a decree
of Captain General Weyler. Mr.. Rappl-
eye, in an interview, said:
Il unhesitatingly state that within three
months the insurgent cause in Cuba will
be triumphant if the United States gov
eminent will grant beligerent rights and
give to the Cubans anything resembling
q lighting opportunity. The Spamards are
now on the defensive. Every battle
fought in Cuba in the last three days has
been invited by the rebels.
THE Cubans now practically hold the
island of Cuba The troops OF Spain nave
been, as they are now, entirely on the
defensive.
when General Maceo started on his
western campaign, one-third of his men,
$1,000 in number, were unarmed: Hls
forces have engaged in battle with but
three cartridges each, depending entirely
on the capture of the enemy's train for
the ammunition to continue the fight.
These men fight like tigers, and with the
supply of arms and ammunition supplied
by the Bermuda, they are again marching
toward Havana. If the Cubans had
enough arms they could put 100000 men in
the field
1.-The insurgent troops are well differed
and as perfectly organized as the Span
ish. The Cubans have been so near Ha-
vana that the burning plantations could
be seen from the house tops, and the
Cubans have captured places only a few
miles from the capital. More than this.
the Cubans control all the produce of the
island. Thousands in LAFana are suffer
ing for enough to eat, as they are in all
the seaports, but they are heart and soul
with the Cubans, and are willing TO suf-
fer.
Spanish cruelty has not been half
described. Executions of prisoners is a
daily occurrence. Spain kills all prisoners
in Cuba

William NJ Doriot, an uncle of Pike,
