Wa the Hawkins q 1PlantoP

Chicago, Jan. pa special from
Washington, D. c., says: There is a
curious ruInor aAoat here to the effect
that the true story has not yet been
told as to the alleged wreck of the
steamer Hawkins" which had set out
to carry a load of men and ammunition
to Cuba.
Some people close to the revolution
lists say that the whole thing is a
plant" and the Spanish Minister and
the United States have been cleverly
fooled.
For some reason that cannot be
definitely traced there is belief in
the Cuban colony that the arms sup
posed to have been on the Hawkins
were either trans-shipped at sea or
else were sent out secretly on some
other vessel and suspicion Intentional
ly directed against the Hawkins" for
the purpose of throwing the Spanish
spies and the United States revenue
authorities off the track.
People here are wondering what the
steamer was doing on Long Island
sound if it was en- route to Cuba. Min
piled with the fullest information in
connection with the movements of the
steamer Hawkins" and acting on his
instructions, officers of the navy and
revenue marine were instructed to look
after the steamer and it's intended con-
SUI oil the way AIOlI IleliiPIOH 1NOduS
to Tampa.
While the stories of the survivors ap-
pear to read straight enough, the gem
eral opinion is there has been some
thing crooked about the whole transac-
ton.
1t is known here now that in a pre-
vious case the Cuban revolutionary
committee supplied the Spanish Minis
ter with false information regarding
an alleged flibustering expedition, and
then while he was busily engaged, with
the assistance Of the United States, in
to head it off, a genuine
expedition slipped out without notice
and made a successful landing in Cuba.
The understanding seems to be some
thing of the kind was attempted to be
done in the case Of the steamer "Haw
kins," but just what the wreck had to
do with it, or whether it was part of
the programme at all, cannot be defin-
ltely ascertained.

POSTAL GOLD SUPPLY.
BUTTES RECEIPTS ONLY 10 PER
CENT IN GOLD.
But a Few Months Ago Gold Was
from so to 60 Per Cent of the Total
Receipts.

Butte, Mont, Feb. POSTMASTER J..
W. Lynch, in answer to questions asked
by Postmaster General Wilson relative
to the feasibility of the scheme pro-
posed by the Cleveland, o., postmaster,
for the maintenance of the gold reserve
says the receipts of the Butte office
and from western Montana and north
ern Idaho offices are 10 per cent gold
and 80 per cent currency. Prior to two
months ago the poportion of gold was
between so and so per cent. Mr.. Lynch
says the sudden and startling change
is a further revolt of the hostility of
Eastern bankers toward Western in
terest, as they have refused to ship
more gold to their Western exchanges,
and compel them to accept currency.
Mr.. Lynch does not consider the
scheme of the Cleveland postmaster a
feasible one. 1t is far from a solution
of the problem, he says, for the reason
that it does not go to the root of the
evil. So long as the endless chain eX-
lists by which Treasury notes must be
redeemed in gold and the treasury has
the right to reissue the same notes over
and over again, it seems like an alb
surd proposition to attempt to keep up
the gold reserve by the limited supply
Of gold that could be furnished by the
pOStOfficeS.

chamber. The galleries enjoyed a
laugh at the episode.
Mr.. Chandler read from the Record
that 1t was expressly understood that
/ amendments should not be cut off.
Mr. German added an appeal on this
same line, saying there should be lib
crafty in hearing amendments.
Il ask unanimous consent" said Mr.
German, that amendments be re-
ceived."
''And I object" said Mr.. Harris with
explosive effect, which again amused
the galleries.
Mr.. Sherman arose with the Congress
sional Record in hand. He said he
never had known of a violation of
unanimous consent He felt from
reading the journal that a final vote
was to be taken at 2 o'clock. But Mr..
Sherman asked in the cause of harmon
izing misunderstanding that a half
hour be allowed for amendments.
NO more extensions so long as
have charge OF this subject" said Mr..
cracker.
Mr.. Baker (Rep., Kan.) said that as
the Senate had gone into Justice court
pettifogging'' and was relying on tech
nicalities, he for one would withdraw
the amendment he had offered in order
to allow the strict enforcement of this
unanimous consent
There was great confusion in the
chamber. The presiding officer raped
repeatedly and called on the sergeant
alarms to enforce order. There was a
momentary pause, and then, no amend
ments being. offered the presiding Off
Ger ordered vote on the main ques-
ton, the silver substitute. AS the
vote proceeded it excited keen interest,
many tallies being kept. The vice
president announced the result in the
committee Of the whole, yeas 4S; nays
35
The detailed vote was the same lex
cept those who voted nay before voted
aye on this notion as on Mr.. Germans
motion to lay on the table.
The bill was then reported from the
committee of the whole to the Senate
and was passed, AZ to 80, as follows:
Yeas-Allen, Bacon, Bate, Berry.
Blanchard, Brown, Butler, Call, Cam
eron, Cannon, Carter. Chiffon, Clarke,
CockreIl, Daniel, George, Harris, Irby,
tie, Mitchell (Or), Pasco, PETER, Per-
kins, Pettigrew, Pritchard, Pugh,
Roach, Shoup, Squire, Stewart, Teller,
Tillman, Turpie, Vest, Voorhees, Wal

Lindsay Lodge. Mcbride, Mcmillan,
Martin, Mills, Mitchell (Wis.), Morrill,.
Murphy, Nelson, rainier, EldILs fTOC-
tor, Sherman, Thurston, Villas and Wet
more-35.
Mr.. Mills changed from yea to nay,
and this was the only difference from
the detailed vote on Mr.. Germans early
motion to lay on the table. There was
an immediate emptying of the CALLER
les, "as when the curtain falls for the
last act"
A brief executive session was held,
and at 5;15 the Senate adjourned until

Pacific Funding Bill.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Representa-
tive Mcguire of California addressed
the House Committee on Pacific Rail
ways today in opposition to a funding
bill There was much discussion upon
the point of whether the Government
holds the prior lien on the property to
the other interests. Chairman Powers
appointed Messrs. Arnold of Pennsyl-
vania. Watson of Ohio and Bell of
question of the priority of the lien.
Texas a committee to investigate the
ANTI-FUNDING MEMORIAL.
San Francisco, Jan. S1-The commit
tee appointed by the recent anti-fund-
ing convention to draft a memorial to
Congress protesting against the pas
sage of the Pacific railroads funding
bill met today and agreed upon the
wording of the document The me-
mortal, which contains about 5000
words, recites the history Of the al
legged dishonest transactions of the
builders of the Pacific roads. and asks
the Government to foreclose the mort
cages on the roads instead of taking
possession of and operating the roads.

Of bids already received for the new
bonds. AS fast as received the bids are
deposited in a safe, where they will
remain until next Wednesday, when
they will be opened and their contents
announced. 1t is certain, however, that
a large number of bids have been re-
ceived, and every mail brings consid-
cradle additions. AS to the amounts or
prices offered, even the Secretary of the
Treasury knows nothing, except in the
few cases where he has been privately
advised by letter. There seems to be
no doubt that the amount of the bids
will exceed the 800, 900, 900 to be offered,
and it is expected that the foreign Of
fers will be considerably more than was
expected when the loan was announced.
The improved political situation
abroad, it is believed, will contribute to
this end. The semi-official announce
ment that bidders who intend to pay
for their bonds in foreign coin will be
given the preference in making the
awards, is expected to stimulate for
elgn competition for the bonds. The
thing most to be feared in connection
with the sales, it is said at the treas
ury, is possible combination by which
a large percentage of the offers will be
at uniformly low rates. Should this
prove to be the case, there seems to be !
no doubt that Secretary Carlisle would
not hesitate to reject all the bids below |
what he would regard as fair both to |
the Government and to the purchaser. !
