CASE OF GOV. HUGHES.
Secretary Smith Has Been Investi-
eating 1t Thoroughly.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-For num-
Der of months Secretary Hoke Smith
has been making an investigation of
charges preferred against Gov. L. c.
Hughes, of Arizona. The charges were
filed mainly by Arizona Democrats,
who began forwarding complaints more
than a year ago. The allegations were
that Gov Hughes had misused his office
in various ways; that he had taken
wrongful procedure in disposing of GER
tain suits in the courts there; had made
unwarranted payments of $50 a month
salary to a relative, and, among other
things, failed to support the Demo
cratic candidates in one of the recent
local elections. The investigation has
been made by representatives Of the
department and the report is a volumi-
nous one, embodying conflicting state
ments by the parties to the contention.
Secretary Smith thus far has not de-
termined the course he will pursue, but
will decide within short time. No
charges have been filed at the depart
ment recently, and the statement from
Arizona that the grand jury had i'm
peached Gov Hughes and the terrific
rial board as we'll is thought to be based
on action taken Sc geral months ago.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA World spe-
clal from Havana says: Heavy firing

and Guanajay, which lasted upward of
an hour, when it gradually diminished
as II receding in the distance The
Western railway has suffered, but not
to a very serious extent. The insur-
gents know nothing about curling rails
by fire, or they are indispCsed to
much physical exertion. About a dozen
curverts, one to three yards long, were
destroyed. No damage was done at
AlguiZa, either to the village or to
railway property, but further west a
number Of culverts are gone, and the
station building at Dagame village,
thirty-eight miles west of Havana, was
burned. The deficiency of cavalry is a
serious drawback to the Spaniards.
They are in pursuit of mounted enemy,
and, although the Spanish infantry are
wonderful marching men and their
willingness is astonishing, they cannot,
when they reach the proximity of their
adversaries, maintain the rapidity Of
movement Of the latter.

plomacy received at the hands of the
Portuguese government, when perrnis-
sion was asked for the passage of the
German marines via Delagoa Bay for
the transvaal, was more keenly felt
than any misadventure of the week

the hope that the German marines will
ultimately be allowed to pass through

Enter 81 Protest.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE opposi-
ton of the Cherokee Indian Nation to
the proposed change of form of their
government was discussed at a confer
ence today between Secretary Smith
and the Cherokee delegation. The par
ty made a vigorous protest against the
propositions of the Dawes commission
and urged that the change in form of
government, if made now, would be
very detrimental to their welfare. They
cited the treaty stipulations made with
them by the federal government and
asked that they remain in force for the
present. In support of this request it
was urged that the Indians do not I'M
derstand the English language and are
largely ignorant of the laws and Gus
toms of the whites Progress, however,
had been made, and in course of time
the Cherokees would be adapted to and
would favor the change of government
and agree to divide their lands in sew
crafty. Secretary Smith told the dele
gates that the aim of the government
was to better the condition of the In
dians, and renewed former expressions
of opinion that it would be impossible
permanently to continue the present
scheme of government of the five civil
lied tribes.
