Credentials Committee Refused to Re
open Contested Cases.
ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE committee
on credentials of the Republican con-
vention was organized by the Mckinley
men by electing J. Franklin Fort Of
New Jersey to the Craftsmanship and
then defeating by vote Of 20 to II a
resolution to call for the papers in all of
the contests. By this decision to ratify
the Judgment of the national committee
on contested seats, the committee prob
ably materially shortened the duration
of the convention. Contests from the
states of Delaware and Texas had been
referred to the credentials committee
by the national committee and these
were taken up at once. The factional
contest between the Higgins and Ad-
dicks forces in Delaware was decided in
favor of the former.

SUTRO is FURIOUS
HIS LETTERS TO CONORESS-

The Expression That "Huntington Would
Not Steal Red Hot Stove"
All Right, lie Thinks.

San Francisco, March 5.-To-day
Mayor Sutro was furious when he
heard of the seizure by the postofice
authorities of his communications to
the congressman and senators at
Washington, warning them of the
schemes of Huntington to compass the
passage of the funding bill
His anger was occasioned not so
much by the stoppage of the letters as
from the fact that ne had not been
notified by the postmaster of the seiz-
ure. He considered that the holding of
the letters had caused the loss of val
liable time in the fight against the
FUNDING bill and that he should have
been told that the department consid-
cred the envelopes Objectionable, so
that he might have devised other
means OF placing them in the hands
or the members of congress. The in
scription on the envelope, In the opin-
ION OF the mayor, was nothing but the
expression of truth. and therefore not
In the least libelous or scurrilous. He

Washington. March 5.-The confreres
of the two houses OF the Cuban resolu-
tions, consisting OF Senators Sherman,
Morgan and Lodge. on the part of the
senate, and Messrs. Hit. Adams and
McCreary of the house. reached a con-
clusion more speedily and with less
difficulty in their conference to-day
than had been anticipated. The consul
tation was OF about 40 minutes dura-
tion, and II became apparent that the
representatives OF the rcnate would be
satisfied with the house substitute.
Morgan was strongly in favor OF that
clause OF the house resolution which
contemplates Intervention, a declara-
tion OF which he had suggested should
be made when the question was before
the senate. There was mention made
of the possibilities of war with Spain
as result OF the action by congress.
and the exclusive statement concerning
the position of the administration in
opposition to recognition. made by the
associated press, was also the subject
OF some talk. So far as the house is
concerned. the resolution is a closed
question for the present. There will be
no more debate. because II is only ne

lieved to be over 5000. II appears the
majority of the generals approved
General Baratieri's attack.
All accounts agree that General AL
bertone pushed far ahead and engaged
In regular battle, his artillery con-
sisting of Ia guns, delivering a crush
ing fire upon the enemy until the
Rhoane army dashed against General
Albertone's forces. and in spite OF the
bravery and tenacity of the Askaris,
they were compelled 10 recede On the
arrival of reinforcements 1t appears
that General Albertone made a second
attack under cover of the artillery, de-
scribed as spendidly handled. and kept
the Rhoanes at bay long after the final
retreat had been sounded. Eventually
the Aslxaris broke and the terrible rout
began. Pursued and pursuers mingled,
running and lighting mile after mile.
Meanwhile General Arimondi's brig
ade had been packed on the other ridge
of the pass. there not being space
enough for the troops TO deploy
or assist General Albertone. The re-
suit was that Arimondis men became
demoralized. Although a few compa-
were only passive onloookers of the
slaughter of their comrades by the
Rhoanes, who cut them down. shot
them or crushed them beneath stones
In great numbers. Later the whole of
General Arimondis brigade became
panic-stricken and fell an easy prey to
the Hara tribesmen who started up the
ridge, driving the Italians before them,
cutting them down or shooting them
without mercy. Generals Baratieri,
Arimondi and Cara, with revolvers in
hands, did everything possible to stay
the flight of the troops. But the ef-
forts of the officers were futile and the
roM and slaughter continued. Numer-
Gus instances OF personal valor dis
played by Italian officers and men are
recounted.
There were disorders in the city this
evening. Windows were broken in
Premier Crispi's house and in the Of
nces OF two government newspapers.
