the knowledge that so many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE re-
norted assassination of the Cuban general.
Antonio Maceo, while under a flag of
truce was the text of resolution offered
to-day in the Senate by Call CD OF
Florida and referred to the committee on
Foreign Relations. The resolution char
acterizes the affair as a violation OF the
rules of civilized warfare and as a
cowardly act OF trea cherry. 1t declared
the Government which authorized and per-
mitted it, or failed to punish the assassins,
"an outcast from the family OF nations
and from the pale of civilization and pub
lie law"
The Committee on Foreign Relations is
instructed to inquire into the facts and to
report to the Senate at an early day. An
other resolution of CalP $, which was simi-
larly referred, requests the President OF
the United States to demand the release
of all United States citizens held by the
Spanish Government as prisoners at Ceuta

WASHINGTON, D. c. Dec. 14.-In the
Senate to-day Morgan D. of Alabama Of
fered the following resolution, upon which
he gave notice he would address the
Senate:
Resotued, That the President is requested, if
it is not, in his opin ion, incompatible with
the public service, to send to the Senate copies
of the papers relating to the condition of af-
fairs in the island of Cuba which were re-
ferred to in the report of the Secretary of
State that accompanies his last annual mess
age; aud also a statement of the several
amounts of the claims lodged in the Depart
ment of State by citizens of the United States
against Spain growing out OF the alleged in
surrection now existing in the island of Cubs; ;
and also all correspondence with the Span
ish Government relating to the Competitor
case and the persons captured with or on that
vessel, with statement of the charges pend
lug in any court in Spain or Cuba against
such persons and the proceedings of such
court in these cases and the place of their i'm
pEisonment: the character of their treatment
while in prison and the condition of their
health; whether such pris soners have had the
privilege of counsel of their own selection in
any trial that has taken place on such charges
or were represented by any counsel, attorney
or other agent of the United States

greatly that it has become formidable. No
matter how great our ultimate triumph
may be there will always remain in the
islands feeling of hatred between races,
and the problem to be solved there will be
far more difficult than that of Cuba.
The same newspaper urges again the
adoption of energetic measures" Mail
advices, it says, announce that seyera. of
the leading members of the Katipnnan
were soon to be shot, but the truth is that
the news of the shooting has not been
capled yet.
The sum of s2,sO0,OOo is the estimated
value of the property belonging to Don
Francisco L. Roxas and confiscated by the
Government. At meeting in Manila on
the occasion of the arrival of some Spanish
e-enforcements one of the speakers ad-
vised the troops not to spare the natives
and to treat them as wild beasts. Another
speaker said that the islands were far
below the plane of humanity.
The insurrection is spreading through
out the island of Tuzon. There is some
excitement in the cities in the province of
Pangasinian. adjoining that of Nuera
Ecija, where the rebellion is powerful.
At Iba, in the CITY of Zambales prov
ince, the local Katipunan was surprised by
the Spanish authorities. Several arrests
were made and 800 men took TO arms. The
band was successfully pursued by the
Guardia Civil.
1t is feared at Manila that grave dis
turbances may occur there if General
Polayieja does not assume command of the
islands Immediately after his arrival
there.

If He Gets the Portfolio There win be a
Prolonged Struggle in Iowa Over
the Sent in the Senate.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Dec. 14-Iowa
friends of Senator Allison, who have until
now denied that he would go into the
Cabinet, believe he is to be Secretary of
State. His intimates and political friends
announce, in tone of conviction that
seems inspired, that he will be the next
Premier. The Senator has declined to
make any statement whatever.
General J. M. Baldwin of Council
Bluffs, who has been mentioned for a
Cabinet position in case Senator Allison
declines, and many other intimate
friends of Senator Allison. believe that he
has certainly had an offer OF the State
portfolio and has been considering it sew
eral days. He is not ready to announce
his decision, but it will be made public
very soon and will undoubtedly be an
acceptance.
In anticipation of this the forces are
already being quietly lined up for the
Senatorial contest for the succession. A.
B. Cummins, National committeeman,
George d. Perkins, ]. P. Dolliver, D. B.
Henderson, R. G. Cousins, w. P. Hepburn,

and will then elect Allison's successor, If
he goes into the Cabinet
Cummins, Dolliver and Perkins will lead
in the fight, which will certainly be long
and bitter one. Dolliver and Cousins
are considered serious possibilities, be-
cause they are very popular, and in case
ola deadlock either might break it. The
present indication is that either Perkins
or Cummins will be chosen.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. l4.-The Cuban
junta in this city has had more callers to-
day than on any one day since its estab-
lishment, all desiring to enlist in the
Cuban army. Not one of them was ac-
cepted, as the laws of the United States
prohibit enlisting men here, for foreign
armies.
DENVER, Colo, Dec. 14.-Armed to
the teeth and equipped for war, COM
pany of 300 men, with cannon and camp
utensils. will leave Denver in q few days
to cast their fate with the Cuban insur-
gents.
The men will be under the leadership
OF DR.. H. L. Darnell, who has a brother
in the Cuban Junta in New York City,
with whom he has been in correspondence
for some time.
DR.. Darnell has talked with friends for
some time, but no decision was arrived at
until the reported assassination of GEN
eral Maceo under the flag of truce. Then
the men consulted, became inflamed, and
an accounting was taken.
1t was decided that no man would be
taken unless he was able to pay his own
expenses and willing to arm himself, so as
not to be a burden to the insurgents. To-
night the arrangements are practically
complete.

Grafton of every Government and of all
the peoples of the world, whether civilized
or savages; that the Government which
authorizes, permits, or fails to punish the

treme penalty of the law is an outcast
from the family of nations and from the
pale of civilization and public law.

tions be directed to make inquiry asto the

Schutt, the young man who made an un-
successful attempt to shoot the German
Consul-General. Herr August Fiegel, Sat-
urday afternoon, was again arraigned be-
fore Magistrate FIammer in the Center
street Police Court to-day, where he was
held for the Grand Jury in $1,000 bail.
The keepers of the Iombs, where Schutt
was confined Saturday night, reported
that he had acted nationally, and that
they had observed nothing to indicate he
was not properly balanced mentally.
Magistrate Flammer again questioned
Schutt, and asked him If he wished to
supplement the statement he had made
Saturday. The young German has evil
IDENTIFY been thinking the matter over
during the night, and said he wished to
explain why he went to Herr Fiegels
office in the German consulate, 2 Bowling
Green, with the revolver. Schutt said
that previous TO his coming to America he
had been arrested and imprisoned for
three months in Germany on baseless
charge of extortion, and he contends that
it was nothing more or less than perse-
cution.

stated that, although his family in Ger
many was in comfortable circumstances,
he did not think he could attempt to de
fend his case, but let his plea of guilty
stand. 1t is apparent the prisoner pos
sesses strong socialistic sentiments, as
when asked about his alleged persecution
in Germany he always refers to the high
fatherland sarcastically.
Magistrate Flammer will call the atten-
tion of the District Attorneys Office to the
case and the probable mental condition of
the defendant
