recruited men, burned cane fields, des
troyed telegraph lines, railroad stations
and water supplies. The other under
Maceo had also destroyed much plan
tation property in It's progress. Mr.
Williams mentions the reports that two
hard contested fights had taken place
that week, one near Ceiba del Agna
and the other near Cabanas and also
calls attention to the publication that
the fort at Ceiba Maercha to the east
of Havana was attacked on January

condition Of Cuba in general is greatly
aggravated Indeed the prospect be-
fore. this land ecomically is gloomyi
for should the people have nothing 10
sell they will therefore have nothing
to buy; since the selling power Of eY-
cry power equals its buying power and
so conversely.

Maximo Gomez, the insurgent leader,

BRITISH PARLIAMENT MEETS.
A General Desire to Settle the vene-
zuelan Dispute.

zuelan Dispute.
London. Feb. 1.-THE Queens speech
was read previous to the opening of
Parliament to-day in the customary
manner. The first part Of it is de-
voted to the foreign relations Of the
Kingdom. In reference to VeueZuela
it says:
"The Government Of the United
States have expressed d wish to coop
crate iii terminating the differences
which have existed for many years be-
tween my government and the repub-
lie Of Venezuela upon the boundary
Of that country and my colony Of
British Guiana have expressed sym
pathy with the desire to come to an
equitable arrangement, and ] trust
tfTat further negotiations viii lead TO
a satisfactory settlement.
Mr.. George j. Goschen, jr., conser-
vatiye. member for the East Grinstead
division Of Sussex, moved the address
in reply. Mr.. Goschen said he trusted
that the negotiations regarding the
Venezuela question would result in a
satisfactory settlement, but in a COM
pleTe reconciliation and firm friend
ship between Great Britain and her
kindred across the Atlantic.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said he
was reioiced at the paragraph in the
Queens speech with regard 20 Nene-
zuela as it held out the hope that the
question could be settled at an early
date.
This remark was greeted with loud
cheers, MS it disposes of the report that
the Liberal leaders had determined TO
make an attack upon the government s
policy in regard to Venezuela which
course, necessarily would have led to
an exchange Of warm remarks which
might have impeded the progress Of
settlement of the dispute.
Sir William Harcourt also said: u am
in entire agreement with Lord Salisbury
when he says the United States have
d perfect right to interpose i'm any
controversy by which their own inter
ests are affected and they are entitled
TO Judge whether their interests are
affected and Ia what measure they
shall be sustained. That is a general
doctrine upon which all States act
Upon this is founded the balance of
power and upon that ground Greet
Britain interposed in Belgium. Greece,
Turkey and many other places. The
Monroe doctrine is not an extension of
this principle, ii is limitation Of
what other States claim TO exercise
everywhere.

1t is proper to state that before

convicted on insufficient evidence, that
on account OF the prejudice against
him he might not have had fair tlial.
After examining the original letters of
Waller, have no doubt whatever Of his
guilt. 1T was not case Of inaavertsnt
or imprudent writing, but was a de-
liberate attempt to give information to
the enemy 70 the prejudice of the MILF

charge. The whole tenor of the cores
pondence discloses his guilty intention
and no court could have hesitated to
condemn him.
