JUDGE LoCHREN.
Something About the New District
judge of MinnesOta

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Judge Losh-
rem who was today nominated for United
States district judge of Minnesota, to
succeed r. F. Nelson, was appointed
commissioner of pensions at the beginning
of the present administration. He was
then district judge in Minnesota. Judge
Nelson, whom he succeeds, was appointed
in 1858 by President Buchanan and was
in the United States courts. Ever since
missioner of pensions it has been the
desire of his friends to promote him to
the bench in case Judge Nelson would
resign. 1t has been known that this pre-
ference has been for bench, rather
than an executive position. Leading law
yers in Minnesota have petiioned for his
appointment as United Staes judge. Mr..
Lochren was endorsed by the Minnesota
legislature unanimously for the position
he now holds. The successor of Judge
Lochren, Mr.. Murphy, was chief clerk
of the pension office during the first adj
ministration of President Cleveland. To
him has been largely entrusted the de-
tails in the office and much of the eX-
ecutive management. He was first deputy
before Judge Lochren was appointed and
was active in the reorganization of the
office. The appointment of General Dana
is a promotion. He is now a chief of di-
vision in the office. He is graduate of
West Point and obtained the rank of
general in the volunteer service. He is
now on the retired list of the army with
the rank of lieutenant.

NEW YORK, May 15.-James Creel-
man, Frederick w. Lawrence and an
other correspondent of the New York
daily newspapers, whom Captain-Gen-
eral Weyler ordered out of Cuba be-
cause they told too many truths about
the manner in which the Spanish are
conducting the Cuban war, have
reached New York, but are detained
at Hoffman island because of the de-
fects in their naturalization papers.
The following was included in cable
gram by Creelman, which was inter
preted by General Weylers orders:
1T is scarcely possible to imagine
a more deliberate defiance of the Uni
ted States than that connected with
the incidents included in the capture
of the filibusterer Competitor. All the
prisoners insisted that the American
flag was held UP by Labourde and af
forwards carried up into the rigging by
Gildee, the mate, when the Spanish
launch approached. The Spaniards
fired again and again at the flag.
"Labourde said the Competitor had
an American license and was regularly
cleared at Key West, but that the
ships papers were seized by the naval
officers in order that the charge of
piracy might not be upset. 1t seems
to be certain almost that the men
killed in the water were the ordinary
crew Of the schooner. They were shot
while swimming. Two men were cap
tured on shore The conduct of the
government in this case has been
marked by extreme hatred toward the
prisoners. Its attitude toward the
United States is one if undisguised
contempt and bitterness"

NEW YORK. May 15.-The Herald
this morning says:
John Poyntz Spencer. P. c.; X. G.
NJ. P. Fifth Earl Spencer and Coun-
tess Spencer have arrived in New
York from Buffalo in Chauncey NJ. De-
pew's private car. Earl Spencer said
in an interview:
Il suppose you would like me to say
something about the Venezuelan ques-
ton. have no objection to talking
about that. I am convinced that there
need be no apprehension of trouble of
any kind between these two countries
arising from that matter. Our inter
ests are too closely allied, the welfares
of the two peoples are too nearly
bound together, for any such matter
to cause war. 1 have heard some
Americans say. and 1 have read in
some American papers, that Great
Britain is endeavoring to increase her
territory in this hemisphere. l am
sure that there is no such desire on
the part of the British government
We will protect British interests to the
utmost, and that means the commerce
of the world
you mean to infer, then, that the
claim of Great Britain to certain terri
tory in Venezuela is a. rightful claim?"
Certainly; absolutely. 1 am well
able to speak with authority, for [ am
acquainted with the inside secrets of
British foreign policy. 1 may say that
l have been behind the scenes
VIII you say something about
Cuba?"
well, now, 1 do not want to- say. or
put myself on record as having said
anything about American politics at
home or abroad. England has all along
maintained a strict neutrality. and
when 1 was in office (Lord Spencer
was first lord of the admiralty in 1892
and 1899 the ships and the West In
dian stations were instructed to keep
strictly neutral. But if it is true, as L
have heard it stated, that some Eng
lishmen are among those tried by
court-martial and condemned to death,
you may be sure that the government
will look into the matter. We propose
to protect the rights of our citizens
wherever they are.
This Cuban question is not. by any
means a new one. l remember that
when 1 was in this country in 1857 it
was alive then. 1 recollect that at that
time an American officer, named, 1
think, Walker, had made an incursion
into the Mexican territory and there
was some excitement throughout the
country about his possible execution.
The question of the freedom of Cuba
was before the public even $50 long
ago as that"

TENOR OF REFORMS.
How Spain Would Be Pleased to
Handle Cuba.

How Spain Would Be Pleased to
Handle Cuba.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The Span
ish minister here has acquainted Sec
rotary Olney with the tenor Of the re-
forms which his government proposes
to make in the administration of af-
fairs in Cuba. and the subject has been
earnestly discussed between them. The
minister states that liberal as were the
measures of reform held out to the Gu
bans in the act of the cortes on March
1895. which were prevented from go
ing into operation as he contends, sim
ply by reason of the action of the sep
aratists. they are surpassed in generos-
ity by the terms of the new act to
which the queen regent alluded in her
speech at the recent opening Of the
cortes In the Spanish view, Cuba,
under the terms of this act, would en-
Joy a measure of autonomy comparable
to that enjoyed by Canada The prin-
cipal obstacle to the immediate appli-
cation of these reforms in the island
lies in the indisptSition Of the Spanish
government to be placed in the position
of being obliged by fears of the rebels
to make these concessions, but there
is reason to believe this point may be
yielded and the measure applied shortly
If it can be shown perhaps through the
good offices of the United States, that
the Spanish government may do this
without the least reflection upon the
honor of the nation.

THE REAL SITUATION.
Whole Island in RevOIt-Spain Mere
Nv Acting on the Defensive.

LONDON. May 15.-The Times pub
fishes three column letter this morn
ing from a correspondent in Havana
under date of May 2. In the course OF
the letter this correspondent says:
1T is quite useless to hide the real
situation. The whole land is in revolt,
and the Spanish troops are merely act
ing on the defensive. 1t is Impossible
that they can prevent the landing OF
SUPPLIES AND WAR MATERIALS
for the rebels.
Even the position of Maceo's forces,
confined in Pinar del Rio, is not of a
desperate nature as the Spaniards make
believe.
only few isolated rebels have taken
advantage of Captain General Weyler's
power to protect life and property in
Cuba.
widespread inquiries fail to justify
the charges of cruelty against Captain
struction of property cannot be justified.
The wanton burning of some 100000
pounds worth of property belonging to
inoffensive people is not war
The letter proceeds to dilate upon the
economic ruin wrought by the break
down of the sugar crop, which has rem
dered thousands destitute, while the to-
bacco trade is in a still worse condition.
THE CIGAR FACTORIES
of Havana, the correspondent continues,
only have material for few weeks and
the closing of their doors means the
throwing out of employment of 5000
persons The total exports from Cuba
are estimated at 100000 pounds &15,OC0,-
OOO) compared with 100000 pounds 60
OO0,OO0) for 1895 But for the trading in
volved by the war, every merchant
would be compelled to suspend business.
One of the most prominent merchants
here says that Cuba has received its
death blow, but in my opinion an i'm
mediate peace would still leave a chance
for the return of prosperity.
Commenting editorially, the Times says:
more melancholy picture would be
impossible to imagine than our Havana
correspondent draws, but it is doubtful
whether any demonstration of
THE DESPERATE NATURE
Of the case will induce the Spaniards to
acquiesce in an arrangement so CALLING
to their national pride as that which our
correspondent suggests, namely, auton-
omy guaranteed by the United States.
Taking the dismal picture as it is pre-
sented we see but one hope for the
maintenance of the Spanish possession
namely, a speedy and thorough recon-
quest followed by a redress of grievances.
the abolition of corruption and an honest
government of Cuba for the Cubans, in
stead of for the official classes in Spain.

CRYING FOR WAR.
Twill Be a Pity if They Are Dis
appointed.

NEW YORK, May ia special to
the Herald from Havana says:
La Correspondence Military, in
leading article, urges an immediate
declaration of war by Spain against
the United States. The writer pro
fesses his belief that when the first
cannon was fired the southern states
would again withdraw and preserve
neutrality, and Mexico would invade
the country to recover its lost terri
tory in the west, and thus insure the
quick dismemberment and lasting hui
initiation of the great republic.
Captain-General Weyler, in extend
ing his proclamati ton of amnesty, says:
L am determined to show as much
generosity toward those rebels who re-
pent and surrender their arms and re-
swear their allegiance to the govern
ment, as [ have already displayed
energy and firmness in dealing with
those who have persisted in disloyalty
to the CROWN
Senior Zorro, mayor of BARRACKS,
where the filibusterer Competitor was
discovered, is in Havana and had a
long conference with the captain-gen-
eral.
Mayor Corro says the Competitor
party disembarked in a small zinc
boat, Iettered "S. T. R." on Shelter
island No. 4. 1t was he who discov-
cred, partially concealed on the beach,
the twenty-seven boxes of cartridges
heretofore pronounced as captured by
the government.
The Havana press re-echoes the ca
bled opinions of Madrid journals,
urging the Spanish government to
abrogate the existing treaty and pro-
tocol with the United States.
Owing to the growing scarcity of
horses in the central provinces, Max
imo Gomez on his present counter
march westward has been compelled
to dismount several thousand of the
rebel cavalrymen and reorganize them
as infantry
The insurgent forces in the burned
districts in Santa Clara. and Matanzas
are also beginning to feel the dearth
of cattle and forage.
Two hundred refugees and families
left homeless by insurgent torches ar
rived a t the government in Bahia Hon
da, Pinar del Rio, on Tuesday night,
seeking food and temporary shelter.
The authorities are providing for them
as far as possible.

action of the house in recommitting the
Misunderstanding contested election case
with instructions to recount the disputed
ballots, but as the committee did not have
official information of the action of the
house, nothing was done today. The
partisans of Mr.. Rinaker urge the i'm

ing the sergeant-at-arms to proceed to
Illinois and subponea the clerks of the
counties of the district with an order to
bring the election ballots forthwith to the

Cause Alarm.
NEW YORK, May 15.-The Herald's
correspondent in Puerto Principe,
Cuba, reports that the Spanish column
of 1900 men, which left that city on
April &C. under command of General
Imenez Cattellanos, governor of the
province, has not yet returned, being
still in pursuit of the rebels, with
whom he had several engagements.
1t is reported Cattellanos forces
have suffered heavy losses, and that
an entire company was macheted by
the insurgents under Rabi.
The insurgent president (Cernos) and
secretary of war CWalofD are still in
that province where Calixto Garcia,
escorted by Jose Maceo's forces, is mo-
mentarily expected from the orient
The large number of assertions from
the Spanish ranks is alarming the au-
thorities The entire garrison in Gil
banicu has been relieved by order Of
the governor, who accidentally dis
covered conspiracy to go over to the
rebels in a body. The captain and
lieutenants were placed under arrest
wniie the corporal and a private were
publicly shot two days ago. A SER
geant belonging to the same company
had previously deserted to the rebels.
The principal cause of discomfort
among the Spanish troops is ill-treat-
ment and, lack of pay.

Sixty Dead and One Hundred and
Fifty Injured.
SHERMAN, Tex, May 16.-2 a. M
1t is impossible to learn the extent of
damage done in this locality. About
three miles of wire belonging to the
City Electric Light works was torn
down, and, in consequence, the city is
in darkness. It is impossible to prop
erly search the creek, and the isolated
sections tonight on account of this fact.
A great number of inquiries for lost
persons are being made over 100 hav-
ing been received by the police thus far
Later reports show that Mrs. j. J.
Johnson and child were killed four
miles west of Howe twelve miles
southwest of this city Mrs. Sam H.
Hendricks, who lives near them, is IA
tally injured.
Reports are coming in constantly of
persons having been found injured. 1t
is impossible to get their names. Since
l a. m. fifteen to twenty have been re-
ported.
Reports from the north indicate that
the direction of the cyclone which
passed through Sherman went between
Denison and Pottsboro. The width or
strength of the storm has not varied
1t still maintains a breadth of about
$50 or 200 yards through the entire
country.
The total number of injured will
reach $50 and the total number of kill
ed outright at this hour so far as word
from Sherman and other points in the
country is about sixty and it is est
mated that at least that many more
who are missing are dead.
Conservative estimates place the to-
tai number Of killed in Gravson county
at between 120 and $50. The path of
the storm which passed west of town
passes through a section of country
which has no telephone of telegraph
communication with the city. All tele-
phone communication west and north
west of the city is torn down
