CUBAN SUCCESS.
WILL TT HASTEN THE REC0GNI-
TON OF THE PATRIOTS.
Chief Purpose of the Leaders of the
Revolutionary Party in Visiting
washingtOn-Presi PaIma'S
Predictions.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-One of the
members of the foreign affairs committee
of the house when asked whether the
recent successes of the insurgents of
Cuba would hasten the recognition by
this government of their rights as bellig-
erents said:
The state department Is now prepar-
ing, in answer to a resolution Of the
house, copies of all the correspondence
which has taken place since the breaking
out of the rebellion in February. That
will of course include letters from the
Spanish minister. If those letters should
prove to be Dragging declarations that
the Spanish forces would put the rebellion
down in a week or two, IL Will have the
effect of demonstrating to the house that
The rebellion is now certainly beyond the
control Of the home government. The
Spanish minister has admitted that his
government has now on the island 100, coo
troops and yet the insurgents are now
within few miles Of Havana, the CAPT.
tal and principal city of the province.
in moving for the recognition Of the pat
riots as belligerents IS that they have
no organized army and no fixed seat of
government. Their plan has been not to
have an army, for if their forces were
concentrated the Spanish regulars would
undoubtedly overwhelm them. The recog-
milton by this government would have
only a moral effect, whereas it now looks
as if the insurgents were working out
their own salvation without assistance
from the outside world"

White Settlers Are Raided In
New rIexico.
MANY WHlTESIN DANGER
AID IS SENT To THOSE REPORTED
IN DISTRESS.
Reports of the Difficulty Said to be
Greatly Exaggerated, But There
is Prospect For Trouble of Il
Very Serious Nature.

DENVER, Jan. IA special to the Re-
publican from Albuquerque, N. M, says:
A startling rumor was in circulation last
night of an uprising of the Navajo In
dams. A cowboy had ridden into Flag
staff and announced that Indians had a
number of white settlers surrounded at
a place about forty miles distant and
that relief must be sent Immediately.
The sheriff of that county, with a strong
posse. left for the scene of the trouble at
once, but a messenger who came in from
the party today reports the difficulty had
been greatly exaggerated. While there is
some trouble between a few of the Indians
and the white settlers in the Immediate
vicinity of the reservation, in regard to
the right of the Indians to Craze their
sheep on the public lands. there is no gen
eral uprising Of the Navajos nor threat
of one.

"THE WAY OUT"
HOW THE VENEZUELA TROUBLE
MAY BE SETTLED.
Situation as Viewed BY the Conn
missioner of the London ChrOn-
fcIe-sentirnent in America.

LONDON, Jan. 7.-Afr. Henry Nor
man, special commissioner Of the
Chronicle, cables his paper from Wash
ington, D. c., as follows:
There is a heroic way of settling the
whole difficulty fraught with honor to
both governments and with results of
priceless worth to both peoples. The
present delay consists in the fact that
the United States government consid-
ers its honor bound TO insist upon a
certain course, which the British gov
eminent considers Itself honor bound
to refuse to adopt. Every day spent
here has convinced me strongly that
it is impossible to exaggerate the Sc
robustness Of such an international bat
tie.
Now the kernel Of the dispute being
the principle of arbitrat ton, the solu-
ton may be found therein also. II
Lord Salisbury Will say that he must
maintain his refusal TO arbitrate the
Venezuela by itself, but he is prepared
to conclude 8. treaty with the United
States under which all questions fall
ing Of diplomatic settlement shall be
submitted to arbitration, and this Of
course would include Venezuela, as the
greater includes the lesser, the Ameri-
csn government. 1 know, will receive
his communication with warm synpa-
thy. Here is a digni1ed and indeed the
most simple and friendly escape from
the deadlock

was adopted by congress on April &.
1890. and responded to by a resolution
Of the house Of commons supported in
their decision by Gladstone on June 16.

UNIVERSITY LECTURE.
Jan. 6. 1895.

Greek Literature Discussed By
Prof. Cummings Last Evening.
The fifth lecture of the Tuesday
evening series was delivered at the
University Of Utah by Professor Byron
Cummings last night, his subject be-
ing Greek Literature"
The gentleman sad in part:
If we turn the pages of classic TO
man literature, if we wander along
the sunny paths and through the rich
fields and stately forests OF the writings
CT our men of letters, we find eve.J-
where the footprints of the ancient
Gre>io. Greek thought and Creek
style appear on every hand; and the
ny hoiogy of Greece has been a rich
storel.C US e from which our best writer's
have caught inspiration and drawn
material for their most beautiful
imagery. Greek literature is the basis,
the groundwork of the literatures of
all civilized nations.
The earliest specimens of the writ
ings of the Greeks are the Had and
Odyssey of Homer. These, with the
Works and Days and Theogony Of
Hesiod form the early epic poetry:
but it is evident that they were not the
beginning but the elimination of that
age which began with the sacred
hymns and stirring war songs of
earlier heroic Greece, and closed with
the powerful and fascinating strains
of that Blind Bard of the Aegean sea-
the idol OF the muses..
After epic poetry reached perfection
lyric was perfected, and paved the
way for the development OF the drama.
To the worship Of Dionyssus and the
master hands of Aeschylus, Sophocles,
Euripides, and AriStophams we owe
the creation of the Greek drama, that
garden of thought and song in which
We reYel with delight. The master
pieces of Aeschyluc and Sophocles in
tragedy, and of Aristophanes in comedy
have been the models for the dramatic
art of the world and have been equaled
only by Shakespeare.
In history, Herodotus and Thucydide
stand out prominently. and while
Herodotus is called the Father Of His
tory" Thucydides should be styled the
first philosopher of history.
Demosthenes and Aeschines leave no
doubt of the state of perfection which
the Greeks attained in elegant and
I forcible prose. Demosthenes is still
considered the greatest orator the
world has ever produced; and is an
excellent example to US of what per-
severance can accomplish when coupled
with a noble inspiring aim in life.
The lecture was Illustrated by busts
of authors, and some excellent views
of Greece and scenes taken from the
/ leading authors.

WASHINGTON. Jan. In answer
to the resolution of the house, secre-
tary Smith has sent to that body a
letter from the commissioner of the
general land office regarding the lands
of the Central and Union Pacific rail-
roads. 1t shows as follows:
Central Pacific railroad-Estimated
area of grant, 1O,24S,224 acres; amount
patented to date. 2,206, SS1 acres; amount
of unpatented selections, 1,29S, 567 acres.
Union Pacific railroad-Estimated
area of grant, 1925, 1O4 acres; amount
patented to date, 4,1S0,914 acres;
amount of unpatented selections, $780,
231 acres.
Secretary Smith says his reason for
suspending the patenting of lands to
the bond aided roads was to leave them
in condition where congress would
have all possible freedom in dealing
with the subject.

The Chief Purnose.

WASHINGTON. Jan Tt is learned
that the chief purpose of the leaders of
the Cuban revolutionary party in coming
TO Washington today was to push vlgor-
ously the movement to secure recognition
Of the revolutionistS by this government.
They made TO the secretary a brief put
forclble presentation of the claims of the
insurgents 10 recognition. Recently the
house adopted a resolution calling upon
the state department for all information
in its possession concerning the revolu-
ton. President Palma and associates inn
mediately began a compilation of evil
oence in justification of their cause. 1t is
probable the documents were given to
Secretary Olney Or that their substance
viii soon be transmitted to the house.
There is a strong sentiment in the house,
which has been advanced by the recent
successes Of the Cubans, that this gov
eminent should do all in its power, con-
sistent with international usages to as
siSt the patriots. President Palma pre-
diets that the insurgents will capture
Havana within three months and that
the Cuban republic will be established
within six months if it has the recognition
Of the United States.

WASHINGTON. Jan. AT the state
department it is said that no infor1na-
ton has been received concerning the
reported critical condition of affairs at
Havana AS the navy department has
no ships in Cuban waters no infoTrnation
comes from that source. The intelligence
from Cuba is of such an alarming
character that some surprise is expressed
even by officials that no word comes
TO the government as to the situation
Minister De LONE of Spain has had his
patience sorely tried
The reports that General Campos has
reslgned and that Havana has fallen are
Indignantly resented by him. He does not
care to make denials, for he SAYS the
reports are such prepogterous insurgenr
falsif1cauons that he win not counten-
ance them.

Influx of Refugees.

HAVANA. Jan. The influx of refu-
gees from the whole of the territory sur
rounding Havana continues and appar-
entity it is not possible to obtain sufTl-
cient means of transportation to accom-
modate the fleeing families and their
household goods. The country seems to
be entirely abandoned to the fnsurgent
army and no movement apparently pre-
walls to check them.
The eastern portion Of the island seems
not to have been entirely stripped of anv
effective force of insurgents. A report
from Santa Clara says that the troops
encountered the insurgent band led By
Panco GARLIC and in the battle which,
ensued sustained a loss Of fifty.

This is undoubtedly law. 1t is on the

which forbids corresponding With for
