Of dollars and TO ask explanations ana
apologies for the acts of Spanish officials,
whose zeal for the repression of rebellion
sometimes blinds them to the immunities
belonging to the unoffending citizens of a
friendly power.
1t follows from the same causes that the
United States is compelled to actively
police along it's line of sea coast against
unlawful expeditions, the escape of which
the utmost vigilance will not always suffice
to prevent.
These inevitable entanglements of the
United States with the rebellion in Cuba,
the large American property interests af-
fected, and considerations of philanthropy
and humanity in general, have led to a
vehement demand in various quarters for
some sort of positive Intervention on the
part of the United States.
Intervention Is Impractfcab1e.
1t was at first proposed that beligerent
rights should be accorded to the insur-
gents-a proposition no longer urged be-
cause untimely and in practical operation
clearly perilous and injurious to our own
interests. 1t has since been and is now
sometimes contended that the independ-
ence OF the insurgents should be recog-
nized. But imperfect and restricted as
the Spanish government of the island nay
be. no other exists there-unless the will
of the military officer in temporary COM
mand of a particular district can be digni-
fed as species of government. It is now
also suggested that the United States
should buy the island-a suggestion possi-
bly, worthy of consideration if there were
any evidence of desire or willingness on
the part of Spain to entertain such pro-
posal. 1t is urged finally. that. all other
methods failing, the existing internecine
strife in Cuba should be terminated by
our intervention, even at the cost OF a

OLDHOUSE'S FAMILY
Was Murdered Instead of Being Ac.

As ut First supposed-sr. OIdhouse's
Head Found I'm the Ashes with Two
bullet Holes In 1.-THE Mothers
Head Crushed by an Instrument.

ALMA, Wis, March 25.-It was dis.
covered here Tuesday that the family
of G. +. Clubhouse, who were cremated
in their burning house two weeks ago,
were murdered and their deaths were
not accidental as at first supposed.
The family consisted of the father
and mother and five children.
Their house was destroyed by fire
on the night of March 6 and il
was generally believed that an over
heated stove had caused the blaze and
that the occupants had been unable TO
escape. The matter has been under
investigation ever since and the detcc-
tive having the case in charge Tuesday
found the head of Mr.. Dollhouse. In il
were discovered two bullet holes.
When the skull of Mrs. Clubhouse
was brought out it was seen that
the farmers wife had been killed by
some blunt instrument, as two holes,
evidently made by hammer, were
found back of the left ear. The bones
of the children have not yet been
found. A neighbor Tuesday reported
that Mr.. Dollhouse had $500 in the house
n day or two before the fire, and the
belief is gaining ground that somebody
knew this and murdered the farmer
and family to secure it.

WASHINGTON. March 27.-The con-
ferees on the Cuban resolutions after

The THREE FRIENDS.
The Steamer Did Not sail with Her Cargo
of Ammunition-The Cuban. Changed
Their Plans and Unioaded the Little



JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 26.-It
was generally expected that the
steamer Three Friends would leave
here Tuesday night with another cargo
of ammunition and arms for the Cuban
insurgents. The munitions were on
board and everything in readiness. but
at the last moment the Cubans changed
their plans, and Wednesday morning
the arms were unloaded from the
steamer.
The dock of the Alabama Coal Co. at
the foot of Hogan street. presented the
appearance of government arsenal, for
there were thousands of cartridges and
carbines and rifles and machetes by the
hundreds. Knapsacks, canteens and
other military equipment sufficient to
fit out small army were scattered
about but all of the articles were being
checked off and watched by Cubans.
The Cuban gentlemen who were look
ing after the unloading and storing of
the cargo for the steamer will not say
who the arms are for nor why they
are being taken Off the steamer on the
eve of her leaving for trip 20 the
south
The unloading of the steamer was
watched by representative of the
Spanish authorities, and a few minutes
after the work began the Spanish vice
consul entered the building and called
ON several OF the officers. The Span
iards appear To think that the govern
ment should seize the arms and tho
vessel that had them on board.
