WASHINGTON. Feb. Reports
have been printed in Salt Lake and
have cached Washington to the effect
that charges have been made against
John Marshall and that protests are
being made against his confirmation
as judge.
The Herald correspondent has in
vestiga.ted these reports and finds they
are not true.
A week ago a telegram was sent
here from Salt Lake limiting vaguely
at charges that might be brought
against Mr.. Marshall. and asking that
action looking to his confirmation be
deferred until the receipt Of such pro-
test by mail; but nothing has ar
rived. Evidently the enemies of Mar
shall have abandoned their intention.
1t would be useless for them to at
tempt to defeat his confirmation.
Members of the judiciary committee
said to The Herald correspondent to-
day that thus far nothing has been
urged against Mr.. Marshall. and that
at their session on Monday his con-
firmation would probably be favorably
recommended to the senate and
promptly acted upon.
Mr. Marshall stands high in the
esteem of senators who know him in
timateIy, and he will be confirmed
without question.

Marin Returns.

NEW YORK. Feb. IA special TO
the World from Havana says:
General Martin has returned with
his entire force from San Antonio to
Quivican and San Felipe on the mill
tary line between Havana and Bata-
bano. A rebel band cut the railroad
and telegraph between Buena Ventura
and Quivican.
1t is reported although not officially
confirmed that Gomez, with his own
force, committed the depreciation. If
this is true, it is argued that he has
taken alarm from General Martins
sudden movement and has abandoned
his intention of joining Maceo.
General Martin with a strong force
of Spanish infantry, artillery and cav
airy started from Havana for Pima del
Rio province where is was known that
both Gomez and Maceo had been raid

pretty little town on the railway, half
way between Rincon and Gounajay.
1t was supposed when General Mar
tin left Havana that he would go
straight to Guanajay, but he changed
his plans upon learning that the tele-
graph wires were down between that
place and Alquizar.

fairs, Senior Eldugan and United States
Minister Taylor have held "a confer
ence regarding the report of the United
States foreign affairs committee re-
speeding Cuban belligerency. After the
conference, Minister Eldugan called on
Premier Canovas and had long con-
sultation. Both maintained strict ST
lence on the subject, but it is stated
that the Spanish cabinet is gratified
with the result
Another Madrid dispatch reports that

American senate committee on foreign
affairs was the subject of discussion.

The Hawkins Disaster.

BOSTON, Feb. 1.-The three-masted
schooner Leonard V. Beebe of Green
point, L. L, which vessel rescued the
majority of the men comprising the
Inflated expedition which sailed from
New York last Sunday night on the
steamer J. w. Hawkins, bound to
Cuba, arrived at this port from Balti-
more today, and dropped anchor in the
upper harbor.
Captain William NJ. Howes was put
ashore by tug and at once reported
his arrival to his agents in this city.
Captain Howes, after giving a de-
tailed account of the rescue of seventy
fiIfbusterers from the sinking steamer,
said: II do not know the names of
any of the men or their positions, nor
did I ask them.
Monday night we were packed in
the cabin like sardines in a box.
"Forty-one men were CHARTERED
there and the remainder distributed
in other parts of the vessel. The men
from the steamer saved nothing but
their clothing. I furnished some of
them hats, underclothing and coats;
fed them and made them as comfort
able as possible.
ION Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
when off the highlands of Navesink,
n. J., I
SIGHTED A TUGBOAT
in the distance and hoisted the sig
nails for the tug to come alongside. The
boat proved to be the Fred B. Dalzel.
Captain de Nieze. asked the captain
what he would take a party of seventy
shipWrecked men to New York for, and
he replied 800. I told him I would
give him $40 or 81 q man, to which
agreement he readily assented, and the
transfer of the men to the tug Avas
made.
'I paid the captain of the tug out
of my own pocket, and the only assur-
ance I have that I will ever get it
back is the word of the men, who, by
the way, were all gentlemen, and
think thoroughly honest.
MY stock of provisions was fast Civ
ing way and 1 was glad of the oppor-
tunity to send them safely to New
York. When the men left my ship
they tried to show their appreciation
of the kindness of my crew and made
up a present of a purse to my men
They succeeded in raising $780,
Captain Howes was then asked if it
was true that one of the men was
General Garcia, the leader of the ex-
petition. He said he did not know.
''The steward of the Hawkins" said
Captain Howes, who, by the way, was
an American, told me the steamer was
totally unfit for sea and that she leak
ed like a sieve while coming down Long
Island sound

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. IA novel and
hitherto untried plan of transferring
sailors from the navy yard to the Pa
cific coast will be inaugurated about
February 3, when a draft of 159 men
will be sent from the receiving shin

cars, slowing them in the baggage
cars. Meals will be in readiness at
stations in advance of the arrival of

meal hours.
Former transfers were made by the
Pacific mail steamers to Aspinwall,

Senate Committee Tackled the
KnOtty Problem Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The senate
committee on Pacific railroads today
gave a hearing to representatives of
various interests trying to secure
readjustment of the Indebtedness Of
the Pacific railroads to the United
States.
Mr.. c. P. Huntington. of the Central
Pacific, was among those who appear

in a better condition than was gener-
ally supposed; that its roadbed and
bridges were in good order; that it had
no floating debt, and that it had paid
some of it's mortgages.

Lieutenant General Penado recently
issued notices offering employment TO
LOCO Iaborers on different plantations
in Cuba. The general situation is so
bad here, and suffering has been so
extreme, that hundreds thronged to
headquarters in response to his offers,
and he found it impossible to furnish
employment for all.
It is now claimed the wives of the
negroes have been given uniforms and
that they are now allowed to accom-
