This was not the fault of England
1t had been suggested that Russia
should occupy Armenia But he said
he could inform the house that the
Armenians did not want to be
transferred TO Russia, and that
the latter were averse to as
Stunning the control. The mover Of
this resolution. he pointed out, had
not stated which port it was proposed
to seize and present to Russia. The
government was doing its best, he
said. to ameliorate the condition of
Armenia. and would not abate its eff
forts.
Professor James Bryce, who occupied
the position of president of the board
of trade of the late Liberal ministry,
declared that Russia had never con
veyed to the late government the i'm
preston that she would object to in
dividual action in Armenia
Mr.. Smiths resolution was then car
ried without division.

NEW YORK, March "A special
from Madrid to the Herald says:
Premier Conovas last night made
the following statements:
IL cannot understand how some peo-
pie Of the United States have got it
into their minds that we, or rather
General WeyIer, is carrying on war in
Cuba on inhumane lines. It is all
false. Nothing more than a tissue of
falsehoods. 1 venture to state that up
to the present no American consul has
been able to notify his government Of
a single instance of cruelty on Wey-
Ier's part, for the simple reason that
10 such thing occurred.
"As q matter Of fact, I have given
the most stringent orders TO Weyler to
be most humane. No inhumanitieS or
cruelties have been perpetrated at aIl;
The latter are all the imagination OF
friends of Cuba in the United States.
Look ct General Weyler's proclama-
ton. 1t is nothing more that what OBJ
tains between civilized nations when
ut war one with another as, for in
STAGE, IN the Franco German war. AS
a matter of fact, the Germans shot
pies because the latter did not carry
on the war as recognized on acknowl-
to face with the enemy
LAS is natural, we do the same with
spies in Cuba, simply because the lat
ter do not fight according to the &C
knowledged maxims of war as recog-
rized by civilized nations. Is there any
cruelty in this? 1t is, I admit, inhu-
man, but then, all warfare is inhu-
man
Then, again, read of the sympathy
expressed by United States senators
for the poor Cuban insurgents. How
ridiculous and how about the poor
white inhabitants of Cuba, Spanish
bound up in the island? Is there no
sympathy for them? Surely the latter
deserve it more than the former.
4 consider Spain has been grossly
illuminated and 1 venture to think
that the self-respectipg non-jingo por-
uion of the United States electorate are
of the same opinion.
you see yourself what stringent
measures I adopt to protect the per-
sons Of representatives Of friendly
powers in Madrid, and indeed through
out Spain. L will not allow any dis
turbsnces OF the public peace, because
1 feel convinced that in spite of what
has occurred the practical portion of
the community of the United States
VIII recognize the impossibillty of rec
ognizing the Cuban insurgents as bel
liyerents.
The indignation throughout Spain
IS immense, but I shall keep it within
bounds. Today the civil guard in BAR
celona charged crowd of students.
The civil guards did we'll, because I
gave orders that there was to be no
disturbance Of the public peace"

Combined STovements.

HAVANA, March 3.-There was a
combined movement of Spanish troops
on San Francisco de Paula, four miles
from this city today. Rifle firing has
been heard from there and it is be-
lieved an engagement with the insur-
gents is taking place. This is believed
to be the closest the insurgents have
yet approached in force to the capital.
Gomez is still in the province of Ma
tanzas and was reported yesterday to
be at the plantation of Arroyas, near
Altamosal, dressing an old wound in
the leg which. it is said, shows danger
Gus symptoms. The insurgents have
burned in the district of Cruces $4,000
tons of sugar cane.
Gomez. after leaving Arroyas planta-
ton, it appears encarnped for the night
at Isabel and in the morning started
in the direction of Cfmarones, captur-
ing four volunteers and killing three
others.
General BaTnalda has had an en-
gagement with the bands of Cayito
Alvarez and Seraf1n Sanchez, number
ing 5000 in the hills Of Macy, between
Mordazo and Manocas, in MatanZas
The artillery was brought to bear
upon the insurgents and the cavalry
charged. The prince of BORDEN and the
Count Caserta, who were with the
Spanish forces, are reported to have
behaved with conspicuous gallantry.
The insurgents were routed and left
thirty killed and forty wounded, be-
sides 800 saddled horses.
The loss of the troops is reported AFT
80, most Of these being wounded. No
further details have been received.
The police of Havana have captured

The Pressure Being Brought on
Members of Congress.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Although
much pressure is being brought to bear
upon members of congress to induce
them to- have the Wisconsin statute
of Pere Marquette taken from statu-
airy hall, 1T is unlikely that any action
of the sort will be taken.
Mr.. Linton, of Michigan, the member
who introduced resolutions for the re-
moval of the statue is not disposed
to push his protest at present He
said today that he believed the mem
Der OF the legislature of Wisconsin
would conclude that the statue was
out of place and at it's next session
pass an act to withdraw it and posi-
bly, substitute another statue in its
place. He also said he was certain
that the agitation Of the matter had
the effect of preventing the fulfill
ment of the plans for ceremonies and
speech making. A petition was receiy-
ed today by the senators and mem
bers from Maine signed by the state
officers of the A. P. A. protesting in
warm terms against the acceptance
OF the statue and asking them to make
an effort to have il removed. Similar
protests are being received by other
members.
A policeman and a detective are es-
peclally detailed to watch the work
but they have not been called upon
10 make any arrests. The statue is
constantly surrounded by a, group of
people and as a work of art is eener-
ally considered second to none in the
capital. nc

Resolutions in Sympathy With
Them offered in the House of
Commons.
opponents


LONDON, March S.-In the house of
commons today Mr. Samuel Smith,
Liberal member for Flintshire, and
president of the Purity society, offered
a resolution of sympathy with the Ar
menfans In doing so Mr.. Smith said
that he trusted that Great Britain
would continue her efforts in behalf
of the Armenians. Mr.. Smith also de-
nounced Turkey, claimed that the
Turks were pirates in hopeless state
of barbarism, and suggested that Rus
STA be given a portion of the Mediter-
ranean and thus terminate the
rivalry between Great Britain and Rus
STA in this connection. He also sug-
gested that Russia be asked to occupy
Armenia and thought that France and
Russia should be approached with the
object of arranging a division of Tur-
key, claiming that such a policy would
unite the Saxon race in Europe and
America.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett defended
the Turks, and Sir Edward Grey also
spoke on the resolutions. Others fol-
lowed. after which George N. Curzon,
under secretary for the foreign Office,
replied He said the government was
willing to accept the resolutions, but
that the house must not suppose that
the government could ameliorate the
conditions of the Armenians by force
of arms. The question, he said, was
not the concern of one power, but of
all, and each must be the best judge
Of its own policy. Hence the concert

WILL RESIST.

OTTAWA, Ont, March S.-From an off,
cial document which has been laid before
parliament it is evident that the Canadian
authorities are resisting the pressure from
the United States government for revi-
sion of the Boring sea regulations, on the
ground that the obvious intention of the
reprisal is to destroy the Canadian indus
try of pelagic sealing. The whole matter
is set forth in a report from Hon. Mr..
Costlgan, minister of marine and fisheries,
which shows from statistics that in spite
of harrassing regulations the sealing in
dustry is not decreasing in Importance.
The Canadian yield for 1885 was Is, 600
skins more than the average for the past
seven years. The report concludes that
as the seals are not becoming extinct, the
need for revision of the regulations does
not exist.

Draft of a Bill Looking to Them
Sent to the House.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The sec
rotary of the interior today sent to
the house a draft of bill providing
that an officer seeking the arrest of an
Indian upon a reservation shall first
demand of the agent or officer in
charge of the reservation the delivery
of the Indian and if there is no agent
or officer present at the time or he
refuses to deliver the person wanted,
the officer may enter the reservation
and make the arrest The officer in
charge Of the reservation in all cases,
1t is believed, can make arrests with
less difficulty than other persons. The
necessity for this legislation, the secre-
tary says, was brought to the atten-
ton of the interior department
through a report from the war depart
ment of the attempt of a local sheriff
to enter the White Mountain Apache
Indian reservation in Arizona with a
posse to arrest Indians belonging there.
The attempt was resisted by the In
dams and resulted in the killing of one
of them by the sheriff posse.

A violent article published by the

As Seen By Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The pres
ident and his cabinet are undoubtedly
strongly opposed to the present recog-
milton of the belligerency of the Gu
ban insurgents and to any declaration
concerning their Independence as en-
bodied in recent congressional resoIu-
tons. The following is not an official
statement, but it is known from care
full inquiry that It is accurately repre-
senting the administrators views OF
the matter.
While the president and members of
the cabinet personally feel the SYM
patty common to all Americans with
the Cubans who are contendlng Tor SER
government, they feel that in their Off
cial action they should not depart from
the well settled principles which We're
followed by former presidents and sec
retaries of state during prior insur-
rections in Cuba
These were clearly
SET FORTH BY GEN. GRANT
in his message OF 1875, in which he
dealt with the question Of the recogni-
ton of Cuban independence, and also
with that of the recognition of bellig-
erency.
Both independence and belligerency
other powers, as the term implies, is
merely q formal Acknowledgement of
a state of things which rightly or
wrongly has come about.
The pretense of recognizing what
does not exist sis always, and justly,
regarded as an unfriendly act and
gratuitous demonstration of moral sup
port to the rebellion"
It is understood that the admins
tration does not think the present
stage of affairs in Cuba justifies any
change in the attitude Of the govern
ment. It's function is to act and not
to express feeling. The only action
now proper is to continue to hold re
sponsible for injuries to American citi-
zens the only government which, so
far as appears, has and maintains
authority in Cuba, until some other
government succeeds; at least tempo
rarily in supplanting it.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 3.-United
States District Attorney Stringer has
brought about dozen suits within the
last few days in one Of the largest lit
igations which has ever been carried
on in the northwest. About one thous-
and defendants, all residing in this
state, and about 100000 acres Of the
most valuable land in Minnesota are
involved, The lands are valued at $4,-
100000 and the entire town of Litch-
field is involved. These suits have all
been brought in the United States
circuit court of the state and bills of
complaint have been filed in the clerk S
Office at Minneapolis, Winona, Mankato
and Duluth. The defendants who are
the most concerned are the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba, now a part
of the Great Northern system; the St.
Paul & Northern Pacific, now leased
by the Northern Pacific company; the
st. Paul. SS Sioux City, now operated
under the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapo-
lis & Omaha division Of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad company; the
Winona & st. Peter Railroad compa-
ny; the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad company, as the successor of
the Southern Minnesota Railroad COM

The actions are based upon the GER
tification, which it is claimed was err
roneously made on the lands involved,
by a ministerial department of the
United States to the state of Minneso-
ia and by it's officers to the companies
mentioned.
The work of serving the papers in
these suits will keep the marshaPs Of
