Boston, Nov. 14.-The political sensation of
the year in Massachusetts was the election OF
Isaac B. Allen to the Governors Council. 1t
was thought that n recount OF the votes might
rob him of the honor. and perhaps 1t might
have done SO had not tho Republican
leaders watched with Mr.. Allen the r-
handling OF the votes. Out-and-out DEM
ocrats charged the Bryan, Sowall, and
Williams Club with treachcry in cutting
the broad waisted John II. sullivan at the polls
and casting their votes Tor Mr.. Alien; but tho
charge Is not true. Mr.. Allen was nominated
by the Republicans of Massachusetts In order
to show their sympathy with tho colored people,
and now that they have elected him they are
glad. 1t is reported, too. that the Governor and
all the other members Of the Council are glad,
but the report lacks confirmation.

CONSUL-GENBRAL WILLIAMS.
Report That He Has Resigned Not Con-
firmed Officially.

| WASHINGTON, March 3.-The re-
| port that Ramon Q. Williams had ten
! dered his resignation as Consul General
at Havana cannot be confirmed official
! ly, but it is understood on excellent au-
| thority that it is true, and that the let
! ter of resignation was delivered at the
State Department within the past three
days.
The desire of Mr.. Williams to with
draw from the consular service at this
critical aspect of the relations of Spain
and the United States is somewhat sur
prising, particularly as he returned to
Cuba not many months ago with the
understanding, as it was supposed here,
that he would remain until the insur-
rection had reached some definite set
/ tIement.
1t was understood at that time that
Consul-General Williams had become
persona non grata to the Spanish au-
thoritieS in Cuba for the reason that
through a West Indian express agency
in Brooklyn with which his brother was
| connected, an alleged underground
method of communication had been
opened with the insurgents. 1t was also
said that while this was put forward
unofficially as reason for Mr. Will
Jams desired retirement, another very
potent factor in his unpopularity was
his insistence upon the reports of
American citizens to fair trial and
treatment in Cuba
On this latter question as to the re-
port of the United States Consul-Gen-
eral to act in quasi diplomatic capac-
ity, and present remonstrances to the
Captain General of Cuba when lib
critics of American citizens were in
volved, some very pointed correspond
ence took place between Secretary
Olney and the Spanish Minister in
Washington. In a letter dated Septem-
Der 26, 1895, and laid before Congress
by the President on February 11th last.
Secretary Olney distinctly asserted the
rights of the Consul-General to make
representations where the rights of his
countrymen were involved, simply as
the local depository and delegate of the
sovereign power for the purpose and to
the extent of the usages fixed by
treaty. and he said to the Spanish
Minister: i address this note to YOU
in the expectation that the direct rela-
tions known to exist between yourself
and the superior authority in Cuba will
enable you to set the Governor General
right upon this important point
The Governor General was set right.
and Consul Williams, who
awaited decision on this matter at his
home in Brooklyn, returned to his post
of duty with a distinct recognition of
his power of remonstrance in the name
Of the United States.
Mr.. Williams came on to Washington
in response to a request, and at the So
licitation, as it is understood, of the
President and the Secretary of State.
decided to return to his post Mr. Will
Jams has been in continuous service in
consular capacity at Havana since
1874. He, Of course, speaks Spanish
fiuently. and has discharged the duties
of his position with marked ability.
though alternately charged with favor
ing first one side and then the other in
the insurrectionary troubles on the
island. The precise reason for his res
ignation at this time is a secret care
fully guarded at the State Department. !

broken bones. Five of the men were
more unfortunate, and were caught in
