WASHINGTON, March 81. = During
the consideration of the sundry civil bill
IN the house to-day Mr. Adams (Rep.,
penn) took advantage OF the latitude all
lowed in debate to arouse the Ire Of the
silver Republicans from the west by
bringing up the question Of the current
reports about the washington confer
ence between several silver Republicans
and several Philadelphia manufacturers
which was the subject OF formal meet
ing OF the manufacturers or that CITY
last night, He referred to the false ana
unsteadying reports in the papers OF the
alleged Compact between the free silver
Republicans and the manufacturers by
which he said II was proposed to Yield
the great doctrine Of protection.
Mr.. Hartman (Rep., Mont) ana Mr..
Allen (Rep.) both free silver men, re-
plIed Indignantly to Mr.. Adams.
Mr., Hartman said he was glad OF an
opportunity to say on the tioor what
should have ben said several days ago.
He agreed that the reports printed
broadcast by the press regarding the So
called Washington conference had been
false and misleading. But the silver
men were in nowise responsible for these
false reports. Tne pam truth lWhb iui1t
some manufacturers OF Philadelphia had
requested q conference. Their invitation
had been accepted and twenty-eight
manufacturers had come over from
Philadelphia and q three-hour confer
ence was haa. The report Of that meet
Ing had ben prepared by Senators Man
tie, Carter. Cannon, Dubois and himself.
There was no suggestion Of any agree
ment. In fact 1t was distinctly stated
that no conclusion had been reached.
''But," said he. Indignantly, "for the
purpose OF breaking down and viilifylng
the Republicans who had the hardlhood
to stand up for silver, the gold press de.
nounced us. No more wilful falsehood
and slander was ever circulated in the
public press. They coined a lie and at.
TEMPTED to force It down our throats."
Mir. Plcklem, OF South Dakota, also
made a statement concerning what he
said had been a misrepresentation OF
the Republican platform Of his state
which instead Of making q speeitc de-
claratlon on national issues, had simply
affirmed the doctrines OF the national
Republican party at Minneapolis until
the st. Louis convention should have
adopted a new platform
At sos p. m. the house adjourned.

the natives Of Aiatabeland. The au-

the information possible as there Is no
doubt 1t would be made use OF by the
enemies OF British rule in South Africa.
It Is not denied, however, that the sit

that very strong force Of men will be
necessary to restore order.
The whole OF the country outside Of

fathers rank with much ceremony, pre-
paratory 10 taking command OF the
army OF insurgent natives docking to
the hills from all parts.
The vicinity Of Buluwyo Is kept clear
OF rebels by the white scouts. but 1t is
believed that the natives are being kept
fully informed OF all that is going on
and nobody now doubts that the root
Of the trouble Is at Pretoria and that
Berlin is kept well informed regarding
the progress OF the uprising.

HAVANA, March SL-Never IN mod
ern times has there been more sick
ening spectacle than that which to-day
attended the public execution of ave
cubans. The men had been condemn
ed to death by the garrote as murder
ers. yiolaters and incendlaries." Troops
were drawn up In hollow square, ana
in the middle were placed the chair
and post. Ruiz, the public executioner,
had deputlzed an assistant TO conduct
the AFFAIR.
The condemned men, having received
the offices Of the church, were brought
into the square to meet their fate. one
Of them had confessed his guilt and af-
firms the innocence Of oil the others
who also protested that they were guilt
less. The first man to die took his seat
in the chair calmly; the iron collar was
fixed about his neck and the cap drawn
over his face. Then the exeeudoner
undertook to apply the screw, but was
so excited that his hand slipped re-
peatedly, with the result that the victim
died by slow strangulation, emitting
the while most distressing cries.
The second execution was accom-
pllshed with even more distressing
awkwardness and delay, the execution
er being almost on the verge Of coll
lapse as he performed his horrible func-
ton. The protests of the officers ana
priests forced Ruiz to undertake the
third execution, but he did little better
than his assistant had done. The fourth
victim OF bungllng garroters was IKE
wise tortured and then Ruiz literally
fed from his post, leaving his assistants
to put to death the fifth OF the Cubans,

periences that had attended the eXeeu-

The whole AFFAIR has left upon those
who witnessed 1t and upon those to
whom It has been described feeling
Of the utmost horror.
1t Is again reported that General Go
mez Is dead. Rumors OF this nature
have been perslstently circulated time
after time and this latest report Is not

WASHINGTON, D; c., March 81
While 1t cannot be learned that the
United States has yet Joined with
Great Britain in representations to
France respecting the setting aside by
the latter OF the treaties of commerce
and amity that have existed between
them and the Hoya government OF
Madagascar, tits believed that the mat
ter Is rapidly assuming q phase that
win call for sDme action by our govern

States has treaty with the HoVa gov
ernment that guarantees to our cltl-
zens privileges equal to those accord
cd any other nation. This means for
one thing that no greater duties shall
be imposed on goods imported into
Madagascar from the United states
than from any other country.
Il Is the purpose OF the French gov
crnnent to romove this equality and
reserve special privileges for French
merchants, and France has notified our
state department that by virtue Of this
assumption Of control over the foreign
relations Of Madagascar these treaties
shall fall. II France has annexed Mad

right 10 abrogate the treaties In this
fashion, but It Is not certain that the
present Rnamoious status OF the French

Client 10 warrant the assumption OF
any such rights and II may be that be-
fore our government VIII admit, there
must be some much more explicit den-
milton Of the exnct scope Of French au-
thority in Madagascar and clear as
sumption OF the responsibility for the
government OF the island. our trade
with Madagascar is quite large.
