Lots OF Arms and Ammunition Being Sent
TO Them in Spite of Spanish.
1t is known that the greatest need
of the Cuban revolutionists is arms and
ammunition and these the patriots in
the United States are determined to
supply without stint. Large orders
have been placed and so large a guam
tity is now ready that it has been de-
termincd to send out an expedition of
three vessels. One has just been
bought for the purpose. 1t is said that
she is the fast steamer Magnetic, which
will be conveyed by two other steam
ers. both of which will be well armed
and prepared to fight. 1t is thought
that the two vessels chosen are the
Bermuda and her sister ship, the
Muriel.
A dispa tch' from Havana, via Key
West. says: There is tremendous excite.
ment throughout Cuba over the rumor
that the Bermuda landed another large
cargo of men and arms. including ma
chine guns, on the northern coast,
somewhere east of Cardenas. 1t is said
that she was pursued by a Spanish
man of-war, but was too fast to be
caught. The Spanish commanders
seem to realize the danger of having to
face machine guns handled by trained
American artillerymen. Gen. Weyler
insists that the rebel works at Cascara-
jicara must be taken at any cost, and
fresh troops have been sent to Honda
bay. The captain-general is beginning
to appreciate the fact that his Wanted
trocha military line) is bringing his
military reputation into ridicule. Gen.
Maceo ignores it, and refuses to attack
it for the simple reason that he desires
to remain at Pinar del Rio and control
the province.

Protests Against the Proposed Execution
of the Competitor Filibusters.

Protests AZ nst the GrOpOscu iXecHsioh
of the Competitor Filibusters.
Havana dispatches say that by
court martial the crew of the American
schooner Competitor, which was cap
tured with filibustering expedition on
board going to help the Cuban insur-
gents, have been sentenced to be shot.
without civil trial. When this news
reached Washington, with the inform
alton that some of the men were Amer
can citizens the state department at
once protested against such sum-
mary action and demanded that the
sentence be withheld and civil trial
be given the Americans according To
treaty provisions. This soon stirred
matters up at Havana and at Madrid.
"A dispatch from the latter place says
there are evidences of growing popular
excitement in Spain over the attitude
of the u. ;. government towards the
execution of the filibusterers captured
on board the Competitor. The news of
the capture of these men was received
with great satisfaction and rejoicing.
1t was felt to be the first opportunity
that had been offered to make an eX-
ample of those engaged in feeding the
instruction. The popular demand for
their execution is general, and is likely
to become vociferous. Little account
is taken of the refined questions of
treaty Interpretation involved in the
protest of the United States govern
ment against the execution of the SEN
fences. The action of the United
States is regarded rather as an ex-
preston of sympathy with the insur-
rection, and there will be a strong pop
ular clamor to disregard it. The Span
ish government is willing to consider
the demand and has cabled to Capt
Gen. Weyler to delay the executions
pending the result of negotiations
which are actively proceeding between
Washington and Madrid.

Browns libel suit against the Salt Lake
Tribune last year attracted much atten
ton. 1t was very sensational and Brown
obtained a verdict for $500 The next
morning the Tribune repeated its attacks
upon him and invited him to bring an
other suit, when he Immediately did, this
time claiming $4,000. Brown is consid
cred one of the ablest lawyers in the West.
He is aggressive and fearless, and will
champion the free coinage OF silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1.
Frank ]. Cannon, who represents the
Mormon contingent although he has
strong gentle following, was the last of
Utah's delegates 10 Congress and yielded
his seat in the House of Representatives to
his successor, Congressman c. E. Allen,
less than two weeks ago.
He was born in Salt Lake City in 1859
and was educated in the public schools of
that city, graduating from the University
of Utah at 18 years of age. When boy he
worked on his fathers farm and learned
the printers art in the office OF the Deseret
News, then as now, the organ of the
Church of Latter-day Saints.
In 1873 Cannon married Miss Mart
Brown, daughter of the late Bishop Francis
Brown of Ogden. The same year he went
to San Francisco and commenced repor-
torial work on a morning paper. He held
this position several years, in fact, until
the paper on which he was employed pub
lished some adverse comments on his
fathers course in the then troublous
formative period of Utah's history, when
he resigned. Shortly afterward he accom-
panied Hon. John T. Caine, the Utah dele
gate to Congress, to Washington, in the
capacity of private secretary. He per-
formed similar Office for Hon. George Q.
Cannon, his father, when that gentIema n
was Utah's delegate.
Cannon was the editor and proprietor OF
the Logan (Utah) Nation and later pur-
| chased the Ogden Standard. He has been
| prominently connected with business and
| political affairs in the Junction City since
1890, serving as member of the City Coun-
Gil and being identified with the Utah
| Loan and Trust Company. He is manager
of the Utah company and the Pioneer
| Electric Power Company, both Utah en-
terprises. He was active in procuring
statehood for Utah.
Cannon was one of the earliest advocates
of the division of the Mormon people on
party lines and was the standard-b bearer of
the young Republican party of the Terri
| tory in 1892, when he was defeated in the
race for Congress by J. L. Rawlins, Demo-
crat. In 1894 the tables were reversed and
he succeeded Mr.. Rawllns as Delegate He
made tour of the State in the campaign
of 1895 in company with Heber NJ. Wells

HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. IL (via Key
West, Fla, Jan. 15).-Gomez is fifteen
miles south of here. Campos' wall of
troops has failed to keep him west. The
situation is more grave than at any time
since the beginning of the war Thou
sands of troops have been thrown into the
province of Havana, yet the destruction of
towns, residences and estates continues.
Many towns offering resistance are burned;
those surrendering are spared. Railroad
traffic in the entire island is paralyzed
The insurgents since the invasion of the
western provinces have succeeded in avoid
ing serious battle.
Probably third of the cane on the ISL
and has been burned. Grinding has al
most entirely ceased. Gomez has issued
orders to stop burning cane, and if the
estates attempt grinding he will DESTROY
the buildings and machinery. Owing to
the friendliness of the tobacco-g growers and
workers the crop of tobacco has been
spared. The insurgents now burn towns
instead of crops.
The Cubans claim that all the towns in
Pinar province have surrendered. Gomez
and Maceo have gained many recruits re-

TOXIC, JAPAN, Jan. (via Victoria, B.
c., Jan. 15).-The ninth session of the
Japanese Diet was opened by the Emperor
IN person on December 90. The gist of the
speech from the throne may be reduced to
two points-hrst, that various measures for
promoting the industrial and commercial
progress of the country and decreasing it's
armaments will be sumitted to the Diet
secondly, that the sovereign invites char
m onious cooperation" on the part of its
members in discussing these measures.
Harmonious co operation has been
preached from the throne to the Diet from
time to time since the latter came into ex-
istence, and at the present moment, when
the interests of the empire call for united
legislative action, the Emperor naturally
desires that national progress shall not be
impaired by party squabbles.
This years composition OF the commit
tee implies that the Governments sun
porters have an emphatic majority. Great
interest attaches to the Japanese budget
for the approaching fiscal year, since docu-
ments will be found to outline the Govern
ments various projects for increasing the
army and navy and for promoting indus
trial enterprises.
1t appears that, whereas the local appro-
priation on account of the navy in the last
budget was 15,250,00o yen. it is So, SOC, 900
yen in the new budget, and the outlay on
account of the navy has similarly grown
from 13, $50, 600 to 81, $50, 600 yen.
The exact details as to the application
of these large additional sums are not yet
published. Roughly speaking, however,
the programme seems to be that the army
will be increased by nearly 100 per cent
and the navy raised from the present dis
placement of 10000 tons to 200, 900 tons, all
this to be achieved within ten years.
Assuming that the scheme can be carried
out successfully, Japan will be able in 1906
to land and maintain an army of 200, 600
men in any part of Asia, always retaining
at home a force sufficient for domestic de-
tense, and to put to sea with a fleet con-
siderably superior in displacement to the
combined squadrons of Great Britain,
Germany Russia, France and America
now on the Pacific station.

and Toxic and the journals they repre-
sent have been very persistent in prefer

Korea and against American employees OF

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-The
caucus selection of Utah Senators was an
interesting topic of discussion among Con-
gressmen and Senstors to-day. The morn
ing papers had but blief dispatch from
Salt Lake, announcing that Frank Can
non and Arthur Brown had been chosen,
but to-night's papers have more extended
accounts.
The selection of Brown was a surprise to
those who know something of affairs in
Utah, but Frank Cannon had given notice
to his associates in the House that he
would be chosen. The impression has
prevailed here recently that Colonel
Trumbo would be selected as one of the
Senators. Some of his friends declare
Trumbo's defeat to be piece of rank in
gratitude. The colonel was well known to
the Senators, who remembered his efforts
with George Q. Cannon to pass the admis-
sion bill through the Senate. They ex-
pected that he would be rewarded for his
loyalty and services to the people of Utah,
and cannot understand why he failed to
be recognized.
Senator Allison of Iowa is very friendly
to the colonel, and expressed his disap-
pointment when he heard the news from
Utah. He said to-day: "I have personal
knowledge of the work that Colonel
Trumbo did to secure Utah's admission.
He is known to nearly every Senator, and
every one of them knows that he worked
untiringly. | am not personally acquaint-
ed with either of the gentlemen named by
the caucus, but if they are as Jealous and
energetic and as faithful and loyal to Utah
as Colonel Trumbo has been, they Will
make frst-class Senator'S for the new
State"

The Conditions Under Which

didates Could Swing Their
Forces Into Line.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Jan. 15.-The re-
suit of the Republican caucus last night,
by which ex-Delegate Frank J. Cannon
and Arthur Brown were nominated for
United States Senators, was great sur.
prise. The call for the caucus expressly
stated that all that was expected of those
who signed 1t was that they attend, and
that no legislator would be bound by any
action taken. 1t was this condition that
induced the supporters of Colonel Trumbo,
Judge Charles G. Goodwin and c. S. Va.
rian to attend.
However, as George Q. Cannon and his
son were't the only Mormon candidates, and
as the former withdrew yesterday after
noon, it was proposed to go through the
form of nominating Frank. This was
purely perfunctory, as there was no oppo-
sltion. When it was done, the supporters
of Judge Bennett and Arthur Brown, in
violation of the call, sprung their contest,
as each side was confident of majority
and wanted to gain the advantage. The
move was made so quickly that the ad-
herents of other candidates seemed to be
dazed, and by unanimous consent it was
decided to vote and make the action bind
ing. No time was lost and on a secret
ballot Brown received "a votes and was de-
clared the candidate, Bennett receiving 49,
The Legislature will not ballot until
next Tuesday, and there is strong senti-
ment in favor of ignoring the nominations,
except as to Cannon.
! Judge Goodwin of the Tribune, who was
candidate, says in a leading editorial
this morning that the nomination of
Brown will do the party no good locally
or nationally, and that he possesses none
of the qualifications for a Senator; that
the legislators must have been seized with
sudden madness, and that the whole
proceeding is mistake. In spite of this
opposition, however. it is generally be-
lieved that the caucus nomination will
| stand.
Arthur Brown, who bids fair to be the
senior Senator from Utah, is So years of
age and was born near Kalamazoo, Mich.
He spent his boyhood on farm, and after
al academic education graduated at Ann
Arbor, afterward taking the law course.
He practiced law in Michigan with much
success from 1862 until 1879. when he
came to Utah and at once took position
as one of the leaders of the bar. He was
one of the founders of the Republican
| party in Utah, and has been active in
