gunboat for the special service she
was designed to meet.

NEW YORK, Jan 3O.-President
Palma of the Cuban junta was at the
headquarters of the Cuban revolution
lists in this city today. Several other
leaders of the movement were also on
hand and a secret conference was held.
President Palma said that the Cubans
were oVerjoyed at the news that the
committee on foreign relations had
submitted a report recommending that
President Cleveland use the good Of
fees of the United States to have Spain
accord the Cuban insurgents the rights
of belligerents. Already a synopsis of
the report has been sent to Generals
Gomez and Maceo and President Pal
ma expressed the opinion that it would
result in their leaders working with re-
neWed hope.
It was said that General Garcia, who
was alleged to have been seriously i'll
yesterday at his home in Harlem,
was present at the conference today.
but this was denied by President Pal
ma, who said he did not know whether
General Garcia was in town or not.

POCATELLO. Ida, Jan. 30.-Deputy
Marshal Woodin reached Blackfoot
this morning, having in charge the
Bannock Indian who killed one Of his
own tribe in a quarrel on Tuesday
last The Indians refused to surrender
the murderer to the deputy for some
time, but the marshal finally succeeded
in securing his prisoner on promising
that he would be set at liberty in a
short time. The Indians say the shoot
ing was done in self-defense-
United States Attorney Forney, at
Boise, has been notified, and the In
dian will be given a hearing at Black
foot next week.
It was learned yesterday that jim
Ballard, the Bannock chief, and fifteen
others on the Fort Hall reservation,
had sent a petition to Washington, pro-
testing against the construction of an
irrigation canal through their reserva-
ton, the contract for which was
awarded to the Idaho Canal company
on Tuesday last. It appears the In
dams were led to believe that they
would lose their homes upon the open
ing up of this canal, and that white
settlers would occupy the reservation.
1t is known that some white person
framed the petition mentioned, and
that undue influence is being brought
to bear among the Bannocks in order
to create dissatisfaction among them.
Some sensational evidence will be
produced at the trials of Jim Ballard
'a1e-Adr Fisher at BIackfoot in March,
which may help to clear UP the mys-
terry.

A Correspondents Views as to the
Silver Bill.
DENVER, Colo, Jan. 30.-A special
to the Times from Washington says:
The vote on the free coinage bill prob
ably will not be reached in the senate
today Notwithstanding Senator Jones
has given notice that he will ask the
senate to sit until vote be taken, even
though it should take all night. The
vote probably will be reached tomor-
row or Saturday. There is little doubt
that the bill will pass the senate,
though by slim majority, perhaps not
to exceed three or at most five. There
are certain senators on both the Re
publican and Democratic sides who
make propositions favorable to silver
who will fly the track when the test
comes. These include Squire. Wash
ington; Mcbride, Oregon; Thurston,
Nebraska; Baker, Kansas, and Faux
ner, Mills and Gordon, Democrats.
The margin is so close as to render
the silver men somewhat uneasy.

the roof in another department of the

practically wrecked. The explosion
broke hundreds of windows a quarter
Of mile from the mill. There was
great excitement around the wrecked
building, and the families of the dead
and wounded were frantic with grief.

cause of the explosion Some of the
employees say they were short Of steam

POVERTY RAMPANT.
Devastation Has Been Caused to an
Extent That is Awful.

Extent That is Awful.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Represen-
tative Money, of Mississippi, the sena-
tor-elect from that state, has recently
received advices from Cuba which are
of considerable interest. According to
the statements of Mr.. Moneys inform
ant, the devastation of the island has
been carried to such an extent that
poverty, famine and widespread suf-
fering will surely prevail in the near
future unless by some means the hos
tilities are brought to a close. The
writer says the crops of this season
have been practically destroyed
throughout most of the island, the
cane mills stopped, Bridges burned,
roads torn up and business almost en-
tirely killed for the time. In the pro-
vince of Santa Clara, where 225, 900
sacks of sugar were ground last year,
no wheels have been turning this sea-
son, for the starting Of a mill is to
give notice to the insurgents to burn it
up. The United States, being the near
est power, the neighbor of the island
and having always responded to calls
from suffering countries will naturally
be looked to to furnish assistance and
relief
Mr.. Money is a member of the house
committee on foreign affairs and has
taken pains 10 secure the most relia-
BILE information from responsible par
ties in Cuba. The tenor of his cor
respondence is that Spain will never be
able to conquer the revolutionists, and
that the continuance Of the war will
involve more loss of life and the i'm
poverishment of both Spain and Cuba.
A recent letter says the rainy season
will begin in about three months and
the poorly fed and unacclimated youths
who compose most of the Spanish regi-
ments may be expected to die like
sheep The Spanish troops will be I'M
able to pursue any military operations
then, for there are few roads, and the
forests and even the cane fields are
impossible to people unused to the
country. The letter says many Span
fsh residents of the island and all the
Cubans support the instruction. The
Spaniards desire some form of
autonomy, and the Cubans want alb
solute independence or annexation to
the United States. Most of the holders
of large properties are said to favor
annexation because they believe the
greater protection to property would
be secured under the control of the
United States than under a native re-
Dublic.

! NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The World
this morning says: A meeting of Gu
/ ban patriots which was not known of
! outside the revolutionary band until
! last night was held Wednesday night
/ at the Aston house. The gathering
was called by the council, or junta
of the revolutionists, at the instance
! of Delegate Palma. who with Gonzales
! de QueSada, Senior de la Cruz and other
attaches of New York headquarters,
was present. Between fifty and sixty
! patriots also attended.
| 1t was said that General CaliXto
Garcia, leader Of the filibuStering eX-
| petition wrecked Monday, in the
| steamship j. w Hawkins, put in an
! appearance in answer to a demand for
an explanation of the disaster; in fact
/ the meeting was called expressly to
hear from the general on this point.
! General Garcia is said to have Sc
verely criticised the iunta for provid-
! ing him with a vessel not only rotten,
but poorly equipped for a voyage. He
gave details of the ships unseaWorthi-
ness. which are said to have caused a
sensation
THE FACTS.
The discussion on both sides brought
! out these facts: General Garcia had
asked for a frst-class sailing vessel
with which to take two hundred men
and some arms to Cuba. He was
promised everything needed and an
agent of the iunta was set to work
equippng her. The vessel cost the
junta $4,000. while it was really not
worth more than $1,000 Several ex-
perts, so it is charged, had informed
the iunta before Garcia sailed that
the vessel was wholly unfit for a voy-
age; but no heed was. paid to these
warnings. The honesty of the agent
who bought the ship was questioned,
so the story goes, the great discre-
pancy between the true value and the
purchase price being pointed out
Before adjournment, however, reso-
luton of confidence in Minister Palma
received almost unanimous assent and
it is not believed the rupture caused
by the urluclSy trip is serious. The Gu
ban leaders were all in Washington

At this point Mr.. Morrill, CRep. VT

on the bill for about forty minutes on
Saturday. This necessitated a further
Encouragement oE plans. Mr. Jones
courteously suggested that he would
certainly shape his plans to afford Mr.

surely the senator (Jones) would not
grant this courtesey to the senator
from Vermont (MorrilD on Saturday
after the voting on the bill on Friday -

Mr.. Harris of Tennessee. urged that
a recess be taken until tomorrow at u.
and then a recess until 10 a. m. Satur-
day, with an agreement to vote at u
o'clock on Saturday. He said there
we're reasons why Mr.. Jones should be
relieved from the direction of this bill
in order to meet an urgent personal
engagement out of the city.
Mr. Chandler remarked that he did
not wish to be put in the position of

amendment to an important BILL nor
