CONFEREEs ON CUBA.
The Third Clause of the House Res
OIutiOns Apt to Be Stricken out.


OIutiOns Apt TO Be Stricken out.
Washington, March 24-The manager
on the part of the two Houses in charge
of the Cuban resolutions failed to agree
this afternoon, and adjourned to meet
again tomorrow at o'clock. Many ten
tative propositions were discussed. 1t
was apparent, however, that neither
House will adopt the text into one or the
other The opinion is expressed that the
Senate conferees will agree to the first
and second clauses of the House resolu-
tions, striking out the third clause, which
reads: Resolved, That the United States
has not intervened in the struggles be-
tween any European governments and
their colonies on this continent; but from
the very close relations between the peo-
pie of the United States and those of Cuba
in consequence of its proximity, and the
extent of the commerce between the two
losses upon the people of the United States
that congress is of the opinion that the
government of the United States should
be prepared to protect the legitimate in
terests of our citizens by intervention, if
necessary"
This will remove the Objectionable fea-
lures discussed during the debate in the
Senate, and it is thought the House will
accept the resolutions as so amended.
While members of the conference ad-
here to the statement that no conclusion
was even approximately reached, they
all declare that they will report con-
clusion that will be satisfactory to both
houses and which will be agreed to. They
assert with emphasis that the matter is
not to be left hanging in the air, for the
overwhelming vote in both houses is ac-
cepted as an evidence of the sentiment of
this congress- that final and positive ac-
tion of some sort should be taken and
that the congress should not be frus-
trated by a few friends of Spain develop
ed by the debate in the Senate. For this
reason they say they will agree upon res
olutions that must command the respect
and support of both houses of congress.

MURDERED BY MooNsnINnRs.
A Man Suspected of Being an In
former shot Dead.

Montgomery. Ala, March PA special
gives the particulars of the assassination
of Rufus Beavers in Tuscaloosa county
last night. Beavers was at home with
his family. and was aroused by a knock
ing on his door. on opening the door he
was fired upon from the darkness and
instantly killed. his body being riddled
with bullets.
The federal authorities have no doubt
but that the murderers were moonshiners,
many of whom infest the section of the
country where Beavers lived.
Several raids have been made recent
ly in that locality, and last week Beavers
was summoned to Birmingham to testify
before the federal grand jury. This led
the moonshiners to believe that Beavers
had been informing on them. Word was
sent him to leave the county, but he
did not heed the warning, and paid the
penalty with his life. Government Off
cials will prosecute a vigorous investi-
cation of the murder

To whatever extent intelligent people
may differ from Senator Stewards views
on finance or condemn the motive Of his
attack Of Thursday on the a|dministra-
tion's new pond scheme, all will admit the
truth of his characterization Of a pop
ular'' loan as a cruel mockery and d
sham. The president and Mr.. Carlisle
know well enough that under existing
circumstances the people cannot if they
would, buy these bonds, and it is PROP
ably true, as Senator Stewart says, that
the entire issue Of bonds is already con
tracted for by the same syndicate. or
one controlled by the same men who
made 50 much profit out Of the other
The form of Offering the bonds
