sANGuILLY's SURRENDER.
Spanish Legation nt Washington
skcpticaI Of the story.

Washington. Dec. H-The Spanish lega-
ton Mere has absolutely no Information re-
specting the semi-ohicial announcement
coming from Havana to the effect that
Gen Julio Sanguiy has rendered his SER
vices to the Spanish cause
1t is stated that no papers or documents
of any kind bearing on the matter have
passed through the legation, ana although
the officials do not go beyond this state
ment there is reason to believe that this
story obtains no credence.
Senior Manuel Rafael Argulo, one OF the
leaders of the Cuban colony in New York,
was in Washington Yesterday, and spent
some time in conference with persons in
this city, respecting the outlook in Cuba.
He is conducting "a newspaper in New
York in the interests of the autonomists.
This has been printed in Spanish but il
has been arranged to issue an English 'edi-
ton to meet the demand for a newspaper
edited by Cubans that shall set out the
autonomist policies

Hot Fire at short Range on Gen.
WcstmancOtt's Rear Guard.
Simla, Dec. H.-According to official dis
patches from the northwestern frontier,
the march of Gen. Westmancotts brigade
from the camp at Sho-Khel into the
Sturi-Khel country was in continuous ac,
ton. The enemy closed upon the rear
guard and kept firing at short range with
great spirit. The British losses were
heavy and included Lieut. West of the
Ghurkas, who was killed, and Lieut..
Champiare, who was wounded.
Two other officers received injuries and
forty men were killed or wounded
The whole march down the Bara valley
since Dec. 6, has been marked
by incessant fighting, but the force has
behaved admirably. The route was difficult
in the extreme, through rain, mud and
snow. Along the river, the course was i'm
peded by raVines and boulders and the
icy cold stream had to be forded knee deep
20 times. Twelve thousand transport ami
mails with numerous sick and wounded, en-
numbered the progress.
The casualties yesterday were about so,
and to-day about ten. The enemy has been
severely punished in the recent encoun-
ters.
The disaster to Gen. Kempster's rear
guard that was cut off by the tribesmen
on Saturday near Sher-Khel was due to
the animals becoming entangled in the rice
fields at dusk. To increase the difficulty.
the drivers and carriers opened kegs of
rum and became helplessly drunk Many
of their followers were benumbed by the
icy stream, and their feet bruised by the
boulders. Several men are still missing

DEMANDS OF THE DEMOCRACY.
CAUCUS OF THE PARTY IN THE
HOUSE SETTLES ON a POLICY.

Passage of the senate Resolution
Recognizing n Condition of War in
Cuba FavOred-RetirinE of Green
backs and Treasury Notes Opposed.
Extension of the Privileges of Ma
tiOnaI Banks or Reduction of the
Taxes They Now Pay Also Objected
tO-Bankruptcy Law Advocated.
Washington. Dec, 1.-THE caucus of the
democratic members of the House of Rep
resentatives tonight resulted in the adop-
ton of resolutions defining the party poll
icy on the questions of Cuba, finance and
bankruptcy
Out OF 125 democratic members. 101 were
present, despite the stormy weather. Rep
resentative Richardson of Tennessee was
in the chair.
Representative Bailey of Texas took the
initiative by presenting the following
series of resolutions:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus that the democratic members of
the House of Representative ought to re-
sst all efforts, direct or indirect, to retire
the greenbacks and treasury notes.
Resolved, second, That we are opposed
to and will resist all attempts to extend
the privileges of national banks, or to
reduce the taxes which they now pay
Resolved, third, That we favor the
early consideration and passing of the
Senate resolution recognizing that a con-
dition of war exists in the island of Cuba
between the government of Spain and the
Cuban people.
Resolved, fourth, That we favor the
early enactment of just and wise bank
ruptcy law"
The first three features of the resolu-
tions, on finance and Cuba, were con-
sidered separately, the discussion being
vigorous and unanimously favorable.
Mr.. Bailey made the main speech, urg-
ing that democratic members should take
their position promptly against those
financial movements, now assuming for
midable dimensions owing to the recon-
mendations given TO them by the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the Treasury. He
also spoke for a clear cut position in IA
vor of the recognition of Cuban belliger-
ency, as embodied in the Morgan resolu-
ton, which passed the Senate during the
extra session.
There was not dissenting voice to Mr.
Bailey's propositions and the first three
resolutions were carried by unanimous
vote, the result being received with hearty
cheers.
The fourth feature of the resolutions, de-
claring for a just and wise bankruptcy
law, met with some opposition but finally
prevailed by a large majority
On motion of Mr.. Maddox of Georgia, ar
rangements were made for the usual con-
gressional committee to conduct the con-
gressional campaign of 1898. The commit
tee is to consist of one member from each
state, territory and the District of Colum-
bia. and nine senators to be chosen by the
Senate democratic caucus.
The caucus adjourned a 9 o'clock, hav-
ing been in session just an hour and hav-
ing accomplished Its results with practical
unanimity.

MURDERED IN HER STORE.
Failing to straneIe Her Robbers
Heat Out Her Brains.

Mobile, Ala, Dec. 14-This morning a
little girl, going to the store of Mrs. NJ
Hogan, on the corner Of Clay and Con-
gress streets, to make a small purchase
found the store open and the lamps burn
ing, but no one attending. Going into the
rear room, she discovered Mrs. Hogan
lying on the floor dead, with her hands
tied behind her back and piece Of braid
wrapped tightly around her throat.
Giving the alarm, an investigation fol-
lowed, which showed that the place had
been robbed Of money and the woman kill
ed. The robbers had probably forced the
woman, who was G5 years of age, TO give
up her small hoard, which she kept in
her room back of the store Then they
strangled her with the braid, but finding
her slow in dying, Drained her with some
blunt instrument. Her brains had oozed
out upon the floor. From the fact that
the lamps were still burning and the wo-
man fully dressed, It Is thought that the
murder occurred perhaps at an early hour
in the evening. No noise was heard at
any time, and there is no clue TO the iden-
dty of the murderers.

SAVAGE CEISEE IN ALABAMA.
Whitecaps Fire Hut and Shoot the
Inmates as They Emerge

inmates as Ihey Emerge.
Kennedy, Ala, Dec. 14-Last night, be-
tween II and 12 o'clock, band of white
cappers, who have been operating for the
past ten months in this vicinity, went TO
the house of Lewis Bonner (colored), three
miles from this place. After setting fire
to the house they gave the alarm, and as
the inmates ran out to extinguish the
flames, the whitecappers who were in am
bush, proceeded to shoot them down. John
Bonner was shot through the arm but not
seriously wounded; Lewis Bonner was
shot in the thigh, and amputation will
probably be necessary. He is in a very
critical condition There are no known
causes for such acts of 1awlessness. as
both are quiet, inoffensive negroes, other'
than the fact that Lewis Bonner and
Walker McCarty, who was at the Bonner
house, are both witnesses in the United
States court in the case of the killing of
Andrew Hayden by whitecappers at this
place last June. and 1t is supposed that
their object was to endeavor to extermi-
nate convicting evidence.
The case was to have been tried at the
last session of the federal court In Bir-
mingham, but was extended until the
March session. The negroes are panic
stricken, and are leaving as rapidly as
possible. No arrests have yet been made.

the Incidents attending the discovery by
Diedrich Bickners and the police that Mrs.
Luetgert had disappeared, the police in
