HOME RULE REJECTED.
Nothing but Absolute Liberty viii
Satisfy the Cubans Now.

Tampa, Fla. April 22.-The dis.
patches announcing that Cuba will get
home rule are received with scorn by
the Cuban colony here. Col. Fernando
Figuerdo. Cuban delegate to Florida,
said:
Should Spain yer prefer us home
rule it will be spurned. AS long as
Cubans live they will fight for liberty.
Absolute independence Is what we
want; nothing else.
"Compos promised us home rule in
'76, but 1t was never granted. We are
not to be bluffed again.
What they now offer is the law pro-
posed by Alburzuza, the minister OF
the colonies, in March, 1896. and ac>
cepted by the Cortes, but never put in
to effect. This measure was suggested
by the startling capture OF the Lagona,
Amadis and Barawa. at Fernandino,
loaded with munitions of war for Cuba.
Spain has been 10th to concede that
much to US, but now thinks 1t the only
redeeming measure.
III they have our forces in Cuba
scattered, bewildered and surrounded
why are they so eager to grant any such
concessions?"

LOUISIANA
The Almost Democratic Defeat Due to
Republican Organization.

New Orleans, April 22.-The latest
returns up to noon today cause the
Foster democrats to claim they have
carried the state from 5000 to %, 900
majority. although Pharr's managers
in the city claim the state by a small
majority. The democratic loss from
10000 majority in 1892 to a very small
majority, even If they are not defeated
in the state, is attributed largely to the
organization Of the national republican
party by the sugar planters and the
combination entered into by all repub-
licans and populists. In 1892 the dem
ocrats polled about 20, 900 more votes
than their opponents in the city. while
in yesterdays election the majority did
not exceed 1000 for governor. Con-.
gresham Buck. who was the regular
democratic candidate for mayor. takes
his defeat philosophically and says it
was the strong sentiment against the
OLD city ring that carried the day for
the citizens league.

Newport, Ky. April 22.-Mr. and
Mrs. Alexander S. Bryan of Green

their family, attended the trial of Scott
Jackson today. Prof. Edwin F. Post
Of Depauw university. brother-in-law
OF Jackson, sat by his side. A lay fig,
ure dressed in the clothing found on
Pearl Bryan's body was brought into
court. but the bloody dress presented
such a horrible appearance that the OBJ
lection of the defense was sustained.
Mrs. Stanley. sister Of Pearl Bryan, a
miliner. testified as to the hat and 9TH

Pearl Bryan at her store. She identi-
fed each article of clothing. Mrs. Sta
ley identified the valise and also the
gold necklace. She finally broke down
as the articles were held up before her
for identification. Mrs. Stanley looked
directly at Jackson and identified him.
The defense did not cross examine the
witness. The only explanation Of this
policy is that a defense Of insanity II

the House.

Washington, April 22.-The senate
today disposed of the s~ectarian school
question by adopting the compromise
framed by Senator Cockrell of Mis-
souri,.
The Indian bill as II, came from the
house. provided that no money here
in appropriated shall be paid for edu-
cation in sectarian schools" This pro-
| vision was struck out by the Cockrell
amendment as adopted and it Is to be
declared to be the settled policy of the
government to make no appropriations
for sectarian schools after July 1, 1898,
thus giving two years for the abandon
ment of sectarian schools, instead OF
immediate abandonment. The amend
ment was adopted by a decisive vote OF
80 to "a. The Indian bill was not COM
pleted when the senate adjourned.
During the day the bill passed pro-
| viding for government regulation of
excursion fleets attending regattas; al
so a resolution calling for information
as to the arrest of Bishop Diaz In Cuba
The presidents vetoe of two pension
bills brought some criticism from the
chairman of the committee on PEN
sions, Mr.. Gallinger. but no action was
taken on the vetOes beyond referring
them. The cases We're those of Peter
II. Allabach and Charles e. Jones.
Gallinger said he regretted that the
president had seen fit to veto the bills.
Captain llabach's military services
were such that he might have applied
for a pension. but did not do so. owing
to personal Discrimination. While
Jones was photographer he received a
gun shot wound resulting in total
blindness, during the attack on Long
streets lines. THE president refers to
ia trivial wound said Gallinger. Il
will not discuss. and suggest what is in
my mind, that the message was written
without knowledge Of the facts" The
pension committee had not proceeded
carelessly and recklessly in favorine
pensions.
Mr.. Sherman, from the committee on
foreign affairs. reported a resolution
providing for the appointment of a spe-
cial committee of five senators to pro-
coed to Alaska and inquire into the
condition Of the fishing industry, the
preservation Of fur seals, the develop
ment of the country and fixing the
boundary between Alaska and British
North America. The resolution pro-
vides that the secretary Of the treasury
shall place a suitable vessel at the SER
vice of the senators when they reach
Sitka.
Mitchell, republican Of Oregon, was
then recognized for a speech in support
of a bill extending the present law Of
p~ensioning veterans of Indian wars so
as to include the survivors of the GeOr-
gia and Florida Seminole wars, the
Fevre river Indian var Of Illinois, the
Sabine Indian disturbance, Cayuse In.
dian war and various Indian wars in
Texas, New Mexico, California, Utah,
Washington and Oregon, mentioned In
the bill. Mr.. Mitchell appealed to the
senate in the name OF common human
ity and justice to pass the bill at once.
Mr.. Gray. democrat of Delaware, OBJ
jected to going on with the bill, saying
he wanted more light on some Of these
Indian wars. The bill went back to the
calendar.

URGES REPUTATION.
One Way to Evade Paying OF County
Debts.

Topeka, Kas., April 22.-Populist
Judge Mckay Of the Harper county
district court. in a public statement,
tells how the people Of western Kan
sas can repudiate the payment Of a
bonded debt. Judge Mckay says:
THE way to get rid Of these bonds is
to quit paying taxes. If we pay taxes
and the money oes into the county
treasury we have to pay the bonds.
The thing to do is for all hands to stop
paying taxes. We have got to get
patriotic. Everybody connected with
county government must work for
nothing Sherifs. judges, county
clerks and all other salaried county
officers must get along without their
salaries.
IF the sale of land is not ordered
and advertised it cannot be made and
the deeds and titles Of the land would
remain as they are. Then when the
bebt against the county is outlawed
we can commence paying taxes again"
