SENATOR PEFFER'S VIEWS.

PopuIists VIII Not Oppose an Information
al Observation-Disclosures, However That
II Is Useless.
Washington, D. c., December l.
Senator PETER. of Kansas, the only
Populist Senator, is in the city, said
to-day that the Populists will not put
anything in the way of the passage Of
Senator Chandler's plan for an inter
national monetary system save
statement of their views as to its utter
uselessness. They might avail them
selves of the opportunity of discussing
the money question generally. The
Populists, said the Senator, do not
regard money as a subject for interna-
tional consideration at all. We believe
that it is a purely local matter for the
people of the different nations. There
never has been any international mon
ey. and, from our standpoint there
never win he any except obligations
on paper for the settlement OF interna-
tional balances

likely to be carried out, as from all re-
ports from Mariel near where Weyler
now is. the work of destruction is be-
ing carried out fully. The Spanish ar
my sweeps everything before it, killing
beeves that it cannot use, burning cane
fields and small stores with their pro-
visions and leaving a wide waste of
ruin and desolation in its wake.
People yainly implore Weyler to

oaths and insulting words, if not worse.
Over 800 refugees have come into Mar

A Spanish guerilla captain named
ColZazo is accused of numbering over

accused of confining number of wom-

AGAINST THE DINGLEY BILL,

Senator Cannon, OF Utah. Does Sot Believe
an Effort WIN BE Made to Pass II This
Session.
Washington. D. c.. December L.
Senator Cannon. of Utah. has reached
Washington. He was one of the Re
publican silver Senators who Joined the
Democrats last session in defeating the
consideration Of the Dinglpy bill and
who subsequently bolted the 81. Louis
convention.
lie says the conditions which induced
him TO vote against that measure at
the last session are accentuated now by
the discovery that some of the interests
which last session favored IT'S immedi-
ate enactment are now opposed to IT.
This. he says. is especially true OF tho
wool industry on the ground that pres
ent enactment of the Dingley Bill would
delay the enactment OF q satisfactory
tariff measure containing adequate
protection for the wool growers and in
The end might defeat complete tarin
revision on protective lines. He is not
inclined to believe that a serious ef-
fort viii be made To- pass the Dingley
bill at this session.

THE MESSAGE.
The President Said to Have Decided
Upon all Points Except the Cuban
Question, Which is Still Open.


Washington, December There will
be only one more regular meeting Of
the cabinet before the assembling Of
Congress. All the members were pres
cnt at to-day's meeting to discuss those
uortions Of the forthcoming message
of the President relative to the business
Of their respective departments. With
one execution the message is practical
Nv camplete and awaiting only few
finishing touches. This exception IS
most important. for it concerns the
treatment Of the Cuban question. In
fine natural order Of things this sub
iect coming under the head of foreign
relations would occupy a most promi-
ncnt place i'm the very beginning Of the
message and so might be expected to
receive early treatment at the hands OF
the President There is still q gap IN
that mart of the message however, not
vritbsfandine several efforts have been
made to close it up. for the varying
.nbases of the campaign now in progress
I'm Cuba have made it necessary TO
change considerably the views OF the
President and Secretary Olney desire
IN Law before Congress in that cOnnec-
lion. and probably ii will not be until
the end of this week and at the very
last moment that the missing para
nraphs will be supplied. OF course
any expression of opinion as to the na-
rure of the Presidents views respect
irr Cuba are only speculative at pres
emf. hvr so far there can he found no
warrant for the assumption that he has
determined upon any decided change
i'm the policy 20 he pursued by the ad-
ministrat;on in this matter.
