Opinion Growing in Washington
That He VIII BE Selected.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Davis is the only man in Washington
who has never mentioned the possibil-
ity of his appointment to the position
of secretary Of state. Early in the
session Of congress there were rumors
that the Minnesota statesman might
be selected for the position, but mas
much as Senator Davis would have
nothing to say, and exhibited no in
terest in the matter, it was temporarily
dropped.
During the past few days, however,
there has been considerable gossip in
political circles connecting the name
of Davis with the premiership, and it
has been intimated that there is
strong probability that his nomination
for that important executive office has
been agreed upon. Senators will not
talk for publication concerning the se-
lection Of any of their colleagues for
the cabinet. Instinctively they feel
that the subject is one of great deli.
cacy. Nevertheless, all of them would
be glad to see Senator Davis in that
position. He is regarded as an au-
thority on international law, and is
known to be a superior executive Of
ficer.

Of sudden decision is indicated by an
interview with a union official with a

The official said:
"The trouble between the corpora

for some time. From the nine divi-
sions Of the road complaints have been
received at the unions headquarters
that the divisional superintendent. the
claims department and the other de-
partments Of the road have been crowd
ing the men, overworking them. also
laying them off and discharging them
without sufficient cause. The men got
to be SO reStive over their treatment
that the union officials were obliged to
take cognizance of the complaints. The
climax came when several employees.
who made individual complaints of
their treatment, were summarily dis
charged. The effect of the treatment
was that the men Joined the divisional
unions and when they We're sufficiently
strong, the union officials prepared an
agreement which would remove the
cause Of complaints which have been
gradually increasing since the agree
ment Of 1894 went out of existence.
"On presenting this new agreement to
President Little he referred the confer
ence committee, who had charge Of the
matter for the union, to Supt. Rugg,
with the statement that the latter Of
Tlcial had full power to adjust. matters.
Two conferences were held between
Supt. Rugg and the committee. Thew
reported to the joint unions that prac-
tically all the things asked Of the man
agement had been conceded. excepting
a request for $3.50 day, an increase
of 25 cents on the wages Of the present
time. Owing to this demand being the
only obstacle to the completion of the
agreement, the union voted to leave
the wages as they were, viz: 1928 a

ter replied a few days later saving
that he did not have the power to sign
the agreement and referred the com
mittee to President Little

GOMEZ is WILLING.
To Accept an Arrangement for
Cuban Autonomy.


HAVANA, Dec. 23.-In Santa Clara
the insurgents under Garrido have be-
seiged the town of Baez, and burned
several houses in the outskirts. Not
w1thstanding the superior numbers Of
the insurgents, the garrison refused to
surrender.
Calixto Garcfa's forces are in motion
in the Manzanilla district of Santiago
de Cuba, going toward the river Cauto.
1t is reported to be his intention to
cross the river and come westward
It is alo reported that Maxine Gomez
received orders to move westward but
resisted the orders of the Cuban gov
ernment for a long time The last re-
liable reports from ManZanilla says
that Maxine Gomez has finally taken
up his march with an escort in the di-
rection of Santa Clara.
The Spanish government has semi
official advices of the concentration
Of insurgents in Santa Clara, both from
the eastern and the western part of
the island. 1t is reported that many
1nsuPgent chiefs, including Maxine Go
mez, are willing to accept an arrange
ment for Cuban autonomy, but that
they are unwilling to treat with any
Spanish general, but Martinez Campos.
The trial of Julio Sanguily was con-
tinued today, the United States vice
consul general, Mr.. Springer, coming In
during its progress. Senor Mesa, San
guilly's attorney, continued his speech

CUBAN RIOTS.
Sympathies of the Mexicans Are Very
Strong

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec 23.-The pa
triotism Of Mexicans and their fervent
love Of liberty is shown in their strong
sympathy with the Cuban insurgents
Every day during the past six months
there have been encounters in the City
Of Mexico between Spaniards and Mex
leans, and the general government is
taking severe measures to quell any
demonstrations of hostility to Spain
In the city of San Luis Potosi, the feel
ing runs so high that serious trouble
is threatened. Last Wednesday night
a mob gathered in that city, inf1amed
by a circular said to have been written
by a Spaniard, and defaming Mexicans
and Mexican institutions, especially in
reference to the part taken In sympa-
thy with the Cubans This circular
precipitated a riot A crowd gathered
early in the evening, constantly grow
ing in numbers and Violence until at
10 o'clock it had reached the proper
lions of a mob that swept everything
before it. The mob gathered around
the Spanish consulate, and threatened
to demolish the structure, but were
finally controlled by one or two cool
heads. The banners, inscribed with
huge red letters, were Haunted before
the consulate, and violent talk and in
suits abounded.
The Spanish consul wassin great
peril and appealed to the authorities to
protect him. The mob finally left,
after severe measures had been taken
by the police, and plans We're hurriedly
made to disperse any subsequent gath

RIVERA HAS BEEN HERE.
Cuban Patriot Is Well known In
Minnesota.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Dec. 23.-Gen.
Ruiz Rivera, successor to the Cuban
patriot and leader, Maceo, was in the
Northwest during the summer of 1885,
He was member of the international
union and was ostensibly looking for
work. He came to st. Cloud July 8
and worked for the firm of Marx &
Weire until about Aug Is, when he
left for Helena. Then he said he was
going to attend a conference on Sept.
1. When his name and picture ap-
peared in the papers lately, members of
the union here thought they recog-
nized him and have since confirmed
this correspondence. Those who be-
came acquainted with him while here
say that he was a man Of intelligence
and freely talked of the hope of the
Cuban patriots. He is a graduate of
Spanish military academy, and held
commission in the Cuban army during
the ten years war 1t is known that
from Helena Rivera went to reat Falls
and other places in the Northwest,
and then to New Orleans, and from
there in the autumn it Is supposed he
left for Cuba.

SAN DIEGO. Cal, Dec. ga ter
rible storm occurred in the gulf of
Cempeche on the 18th and 18th of this
month, and among the other casual
ties reported is the wreck of the bark
Jamaica, with twelve passengers and
most of the crew lost. The Jamaica
was bound from Campeche to Vera

some treasure aboard. The passengers
took to the boats, which were repeated
ly swamped. Most of the crew simply
put on life preservers and jumped into
the sea- The captain was one of these
He strapped 100 Mexican dollars upon
him, and, chnging to a barrel, tried to
reach shore. The survivors saw him
sink, owing to the weight of the metal.
The sight was terrible one, as one
passenger after another sank, the boats
proving entirely unmanageable. The
crew were all drowned and only three
men and a boy escaped Of the passen-
gers. The vessel sank soon after she
was abandoned. The wreck occurred
off the port of Dos Rosas, Tabasco.

story of Their Loss at Santiago
Confirmed.


TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 23.-One of the Cuban
leaders here received news from Havana to-
night confirming the report of Spanish losses
sustained near Santiago while attempting to
capture the cargo of q flibustering vessel.
The Spaniards were routed and they wired to
Deschelaino for aid. train was made I'D
there at once with great secrecy, but the
watchful Cubans knew of 1t, and the track
was dynamited the train came along, the
bomb exploding, causing great destruction
The terrified Spanish soldiers poured out of
the wreck only to receive a whitening fire
from the Cubans concealed behind the road
bed. The Spaniards fought bravely for a few
moments, but the odds were too much, and
they fled in all directions. Over forty Spanish
soldiers were killed or wounded, and forty
taken prisoners. 1t is reported that the ex-
petition landed safely, and that all the car
goes were taken to Gomez's camp.
In Havana much speculation has been in
dulged in today as to why Weyler changed
his mind and went to the Pinar del Rio sec
ton instead of going to Matanzas and into
Santa Clara provinces as he had arranged.
The solution is that bad news was received
from the Spanish front near the trocha. and
that Spanish commanders, not wishing to
stand the responsibility, wired for Weyler.
