Judge Grosscup, do~ever, Stls Free the
Big shipper.

Big Ship reT~.
Chicago Jan. 20-In the United states
district court today Judge Grosscup
handed down an opinion on the motion
to ouash the indictments of the Santa
Fe for alleged violations of the inter
state commerce act. The indictments
were upheld in part and quashed IN
part. John A. Henley, general traffic
manager of the Santa Fe, and eX-Presl-
dent Reinhart were adjudged to nave
been properly indicted on two counts.
Those counts set forth that from April
to November, 1892, the two officials Vlo-
lated the act by giving rebates ana
drawbacks.
The indictment as to Nelson Morris
was quashed on the ground that the
rate was a discrimination against snip
pers by the railroad, and Morris ac-
ceptance of the rate in no wise made
him guilty of discrimination.
The indictments against Isaac
Thompson, the Kansas City shipper
and Manager Jenkins of the Hammond
Packing Company were quashed. THESE
decisions are in effect that shipper
could not be held for violation in ac~
cepting a rebate and is the first legal
Interpretation of that part of the inter
state commerce law making shippers
equally liable with carriers to a viola
ton of law in discriminating. Henley
and Reinhart will not submit without
a stubborn fight and will probably APP
peal to the higher court.

of the report from Florida that the sec

the state to put Florida's troops in read

Governors.

Ct Louis. Jan. 2O.-The Republic this
morning. in summarizing the dis
matches from Florida, New York and
Washington, says:
ga crisis has been reached in the Gu
han war. Recognition of the belhger-
encv of the patriot army by the United
states is imminent. President CIeVe-
1ond is said to have prepared a proc
lamation which may be issued today,
or in the immediate future. The presl-
dent II is declared intended to recog-
nize the insurgents last week when he
learned of the recall of Marshal Cam
DOS. but under the circumstances the
executive thought that such recOgni-
ton would be regarded as inopportune
and unfrendly to Spain, and he there
fore withheld the important document,
pending the appointment of success
sor to CampOs.
within the past As hours, however,
President Cleveland is said to have
learned that Spain, despairing of sue
cessfu termination of the war, had
offered to sell Cuba to Great Britain.
Rumors to this effect were circulated
in the east last night, and spread like
wild fire over the country. The rum
Ors seem to be confirmed by dispatches
from Florida. The governors Of the
southern states, according to these ad-
vices, have been requested by the war
department to prepare the state mill
tamen for immediate service. Troops
are already beginning to move in Flori-
da. The belief is held in some quarters
that the flying squadron of Great Brit
ain is destined for service in American
waters. If this is so, war will result.
The cessiOn of Cuba to Great Britain
would be resisted by the United States
to the last ditch.
official information from the White
mouse is lacking but it is evident that
serious complications are at hand. Sen
or Palma, the head of the Cuban party

General Gomez has taken half a dozen
ports In the past week, leaving the
spanish army penned up in Havana.
