VERY SLIPPERY GOLD WATCH.
Justice Bailey Figures in a Case of
Extraordinary Events.
DANGEROUS WOMAN IS INVOLVED
The Watch was Stolen Several Weeks Ago
and the Justice Held it as Security
For Costs, But Woman Stole
it From Him

Justice r. r. Williams was called upon last
evening to give hearing to case embodying
very complicated and, in some respects, ex-
traOrdinary circumstances. The case first
came up some time ago by Charles KatalofsSi
appearing before the Justice and making
complaint that on the 9Th of April he was
robbed of a gold watch and chain valued at
500. No further steps were taken in the case
at the time, it being considered best to keep
quiet and try to trace the watch to the hands
| of the suspected party, one William Mata-
lawicz; but a few days ago the complainant
again appeared and stated that the watch and
chain were in the hands of Justice Daniel
Bailey, of the Fifth ward.
Upon being called upon Justice Bailey
stated that William Matalawicz was a party
to a suit before him and upon settlement
Mataawicz gave him the watch as security
for costs. Justice Bailey refused to give up
the watch without payment of his costs, but
he agreed to produce it when Mataawicz
should he arrested and brought for trial and
| this understanding was satisfactory to the
complainant Matalawicz disappeared and
the proceedings again fell into state of
quiescencc until yesterday, when Justice
Bailey appeared before Justice Williams and
stated that the much sought watch had been
taken from him by Mrs. Mary Sinkawicz, and
by force.

Gray and Daniel being present. The
meeting was held for the express purpose
OF continuing the discussion of a policy
on the Cuban question to be recommended
ny the committee, and Secretary Olney
was present for the purpose of giving
ADVICE and placing before the commit
tee information in his possession bearing
upon the question.
Inc meeting was strictly private, Mr..
Olney being the only person not n mem
Der of the committee who was admitted.
=, 1t was early understood, however, that
the tendency of the secretary's advice
was against precipitate action by the COM
mittee, but that the advocates of the
Cameron resolution were not displaying
any disposition to change their determi-
nation to report.
Secretary Olney did not make any
statement regarding the attitude of for
eign governments in case the United
States took some action in favor of the
revolutionists. The secretary did not
proffer much service to the committee.
but confined himself mainly to a state
ment of facts in possession of the state
department regarding the conditions in
the island and what this government has
done. These included information fur
nlshed by the American consuls and also
information furnished by the Spanish
authorities. The time of the committee
wal: taken up largely with Secretary o.
ney's statement and with reading por-
tons of the resolutions as prepared by
Senator Cameron.
Mr.. Olney refused, after leaving the
committee room, to reveal the nature of
his communication to the committee.
Secretary Olney, it is claimed by the
members of the committee, did not have
any new information to present and they
say the committee knew about as much
about the condition of affairs in Cuba
as was known by the state department.
Secretary Olney urged that no action be
taken at present and pointed out there
was no real government to recognize.

MITTEE CONSIDERS CUBAN
RESOLUTIONS.
WILL LIKELY REPORT FAVORABLY
On the Cameron Resolutions Declariar
for Cuban Independence Secretary
Of the Navy Says the Battleship
Texas is All Right.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The senate coa-
mittee on foreign relations had a meeting
today which was devoted to the consider
alton of the Cuban resolutions, which
have been referred to IT, No action was
taken and the committee adjourned to
meet on Friday. 1t was said the senti.
ment was favorable to reporting one Of
the resolutions, though its form was not
determined. The postponement until Fri,
day was for the purpose Of securing
further information from the state depart
ment as to the, situation in Cuba, as to
late Developments in the island. There IL
also desire on the part of members of
the committee to ascertain what was re-
ported by Consul General Lee.
The committee took no vote on any
proposition, but there was a sufficiently
general expression of opinion to lead the
friends of a declaration favorable TO Gu
ban independence to conclude that IL q
vote had been taken they would have won.
While all the resolutions before the com
mite were read and commented upou,
the general tendency was toward the sim
pie declaration for independence contained
in the Cameron joint resolution, which
was introduced Immediately after the
close of last weeks meeting, and il is BE-
lieved tha. an Affirmative vote would have
been reached on a proposition embodying
this idea, but for the pea Of some OF the
more conservative members for delay with
the hope of getting more definite informs-
ton than is now obtainable. s4atn
The members Of the committee COMPLAIN
OF the absence of accurate data upon
which to proceed, and some complain that
there Is tendency to exaggerate on both
sides of the Cuban controversy, which rem
ders the problem of what to do all the
more difficult to congress. 81
The Cameron resolution, as introduced,
is as follows: eai1
Resolved, BY the senate and house of
representatives In congress assembled,
that the independence of the republic Of
Cuba be and the same IL hereby acknowl-
edged by the United States OF America.
Resolved, That the United States should
use its friendly Offices with the govern
ment of Spain to bring to close the war
between Cuba and Spain. rrt-rff
The question was raised in committee
that action by congress might produce re-
suits of great seriousness and this had the
effect of postponing action today.
Another point raised was that II would
be in violation of all precedent for con
gress TO recognize republics or other new
governments, but several members de
clared that the time for ignoring prece-
dents. had arrived, consequently II is pre-
dicted that on Friday the committee on
foreign relations will report the resolu-
tons fayOrably,
