TO IMPROVE COAST DEFENCES
Gen. Miles Urges the Adoption of
Senator Squire's Bill.

Washington, Jan. 2S.--Gen. Nelson
A. Miles, Commanding the Army, APP
peared before the committee on coast
defences to-day. He stated that he had
examined Senator Squire's bill and APP
proved it's provisions. He made state
ment Of the condition of the coast de-
fences on both the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts and Gulf of Mexico. He
stated that the guns that are now
mounted at Savannah, Charleston, and
other ports are smooth bores of OBJ
solete pattern and useless, and that
they are mounted on carriages that are
rotten. The only places where provis-
ion has been made for any considerable
defence are New York, San Francisco,
and Boston, and these are inadequate.
He said that our cities are open to at
tack by any country having a large
navy, and that it would take years to
create the necessary armament.

They Occupied the Attention of
the Senate Yesterday.
THE SULTAN DENOUNCED
Turpie Wants Resolutions Fol
lowed Up by a Blow.
THREE SPEECHES ON FINANCE
Voorhees, and Clark Speak in Favor of
Reconciliation of Silver and
Gray in Favor of the
Gold Standard

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Forcign at
fairs and finance occupied the attcn-
tiOn of the Senate to-day. Mr.. Thurston
OF Nebraska, vigorously upheld a
strong APPLICATION of the Monroe doe
trine and was at times warmly APP
plauded for the patriotic ring of his
sentiments. Senator Turpie, of Ind,
touched on the Turkish atrocities in a
brief but very energetic speech in
which he declared that the resolution
just passed by Congress should be
followed by a blow, a shot, which
should crash through the Suitau's SER
aglio sweeping back Mohammedanism
and advance Christianity.
Mr.. Voorhees,, of Ind, who was until
recently Chairman of the Finance
Committee, spoke In advocacy of the
reconciliation Of silver, and sharply
arraigned those responsible for the
elimination of silver from the coinage.
Mr. Gray, of Delaware, urged the adj
vantage of gold standard, His
speech was notable in it's presentation
Of the huctuating prices, showing
them 10 result from invention and
natural causes and not from silver
demonetization. Mr.. Clark, of Wyom-
ing, spoke in favor of silver coinage.
Another effort was made by Mr..
Jones, of Arkansas, in charge of the
silver bond bill, to have the vote fixed
for Thursday. Mr.. Hill objected, how
ever, and Mr.. Jones notified Senators
to prepare for test of endurance on
Thursday, as he would ask them to
sit until a vote was taken.
A fruitless discussion of Mr.. Calls
resolutions to inquire into the arrest
of Eugene Y. Debs, occurred during
the day, but action was deferred until
tomorrow.

FOR HIS FOURTH MURDER
Fired His. Pistol Recklessly in a
Passenger Train.
AND KILLED A PROMINENT MAN

BIueiield, w. Va, Jan. 2S.-AleN
Jones, a negro desperate, boarded
passenger train at keystone last
night. lie was under the influence of
whislley, very boisterous and quar-
relsome. Conductor Mccullough came
through the cars, and after demanding
fare from Jones, advised him to be
quiet. The negro became much in
censed, and then an attempt was
made to eject him, he pulled two re-
volvcrs from belt and began firing
promiscuously through the train which
was crowded with passengers. He
emptied both reyolyers and attempted
to reload, but was overpowered by
trainnien. When the smoke had clear

abated, it was discovered that ". il.

shot through the abdomen. The
wound resulted IN almost instant
Death. Conductor Mccullough was
shot in the side, but not seriously in
jured, and Peter Rice, colored miner,
was shot through the right breast, and
probably fatally injured.
Jones was incarcerated in the Elk
horn jail to await the arrival of a train
by which to convey him to Huntington
for safe-keeping. The train arrived
at a. M, and the officers and prisoner
boarded the train without molesta-
ton. Meanwhile a mob had been or
ganizcd at Wclch, Is miles west of
keystone and had marched to Hemp
hill. a small station one mile west of
Welch. The train was tagged by a
danger signal and the mob, numbering
one hundred men, boarded it, and at
the point Of Winchesters, forced the
officers to release the prisoner. They
dragged Jones short distance to a
tree where he was swung 10 limb,
and his body was riddled with bullets,

This deed was done for the purpose
OF example and warning to negroes.

TO FORMALLY ENDORSE MORTON
New York Republican Representatives
to Hold Conference.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 2S.-"The
New York Republican delegation in
the House will hold a conference with
in few days i'm the interest of Levi T.
Morton's candidacy for the Presidential
nomination said Representative
Southwick, of the Albany district,
to-day. The friends of Governor Nor
ton in New York are urging his emi.
nent claims for the nomination system
atically and thoroughly, and his friends
here at Washington feel that nothing
which can be done by the New York
members of the House toward advan-
cling his canvas should be neglected.
"The Republican members of Of the
New York delegation are unanimous in
urging Mr. Morton in preference to
Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Mckinley, Mr.. Allison,
Mr.. Harrison and otherrival candidates
mentioned for the st. Louis nomina-
ton. That matter was definitely de
termined as far back as Scptemberrof
last year, when the Republican State
convention presented Mr.. Morton's
name with unanimity and enthusiasm.
If any lingering doubt remained, it
should have been removed by Mr.. Nor
tons recent announcement Of his can
didacy.
'The New York members, in holding
caucus to organize Governor Morton's S
Congressional supporters will follow
the precedent set by the Iowa men in
Congress who recently selected COM
mittee of three to take charge of Sena-
tor Allison's presidential interests.
1t is possible that the New Workers
win also choose a committee to repre-
sent Mr.. Morton in Washington"

GEN. GOMEZ is HARD PRESSED
The Situation of the Insurgent Chief
Still Critical.

li9Nana. Jan 2S.-Gen. Maxine
Golez has passed the village OF Salud,
south Of Bejucal, this Province going
westward apparently to the assistance
of Gen. Antonio MaceO, who has been
reported to be hard pressed by the
Spanish troops in the Province Of Pinar
del Rio.
The insurgents have burned some
splendid farm houses at Vaguaramas,
near Trinidad, Province of Santa Clara,
and the cane mills about San Luis.
Maceo's position continues to be re-
garded here as critical, and it is con-
sit3 red certain that Gomez's attempt
to march west is for the purpose of
succoring him. Spanish columns
pursue Gomez closely and harrass his
forces, compelling them to fight daily
and it is claimed here that they are be-
coming demoralized Grave reports
are circulated of Gomez's sickness, and
this, combined with the stores which
his men attempt to carry, is said to
make their advance slower than it
would otherwise be.
The leaders, Cayito and Alvarez, are
operating in Santa Clara, the policy
being to threaten small towns and
keep the country stirred up as much
as possible, and thus make it necessary
to lessen the forces that can operate
against Maceo and Gomez. 1T is not
admitted that this policy has been
very successful.
The government claims to be eX-
pecting news of important successes
from Pinar del Rio province.
The news of the loss of the filibuster-
ing steamer Hawkins was received
