1t Is Said President Cleveland VIII Not FIJI
Any More Vacancies.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-No more pres
idential postmasters will be nominated
by Mr.. Cleveland. The administration
has suspended business, so far as the
distribution of patronage is concerned.
1t stops with about so vacancies, to
which no appointments will be made.
Then there are in addition 1s9 nomi-
nations of postmasters hung up
in the senate. The most of them
are likely to remain thus suspended
until March 4. On that day they
will elapse. The day after he is inau-
gurated Mr.. Mckinley will have.nearly
200 post Offices of the presidential class
to fill and before the end of March he
will have 100 more vacancies. Appli-
cations for these post offices are ar
riving in numbers and are interesting
their senators and representatives in
their cases. Notwithstanding the
wholesale extensions of the civil serv-
ice law in certain directions, Presi
dent Mckinley will have considerable
experience with the office-seelxers.

the bill to prohibit the transmission of

Hsh censorship of the press. No tinal
action, however, was taken on the
measure. The sundry civil and the
post office bills were sent to confer
ence. Several conference reports were
agreed to.

The Cuban Problem.
New YORK, Feb. 2T.-The Journal
this morning prints the following dis
patch from Julius Chambers, its staff
correspondent at Cleveland, o.:
Intense curiosity exists to know the policy to
be pursued regarding Cuba by the incoming ad-
ministration. am able to state that policy on
the highest authority and in the epigram in
which it will be enunciated- There will not be
any meddling with the Cuban insurrec-
tion or any trifiing with Spain Every
citizen of the United States will have the
absolute protection of this government If war
with Spain be precipitated. The first case of
brutality to a citizen of the United States will
be followed by immediate ana unm1stakaDle
action on the part of the administration.
Mai. Mckinley is opposed to a recognition OF
the republic of Cuba because he maintains 1t
does not exist. and the only existing govern.
ment in Cuba Is Spain. The granting OF bellig-
erent rights to insurgents, he argues, wouldre-
lieve Spain TO a large extent OF the obligations
TO this government. No claims of American
citizens would lie against Spain for the destruc-
tion OF their property on the island by the in
surgents Mai. Mckinley is equally opposed to
armed intervention, holding that conditions
iustifying such step do not exist.
FaVors Vigorous Foreign Policy.
WASHINGTON, March IA dinner
was given to Senator Sherman by the
Ohio delegation in congress at the
Cochran hotel last night. at which rep
resentative republicans of the state
were present. The dinner took on the
form of harmony gathering, and
whatever differences may have existed
among the republican leaders of Ohio
are believed to have been smoothed
over by the gathering to do honor to
the veteran senator. In his remarks
Mr.. Sherman came out for a vigorous
foreign policy and said we intend to
protect our citizens whether they be
on land or sea. We glory, he said, to
build up among our fellow republics
in North and South America examples
of our own, and he expressed the opin-
ion that the time was not far distant
when the whole western hemisphere
would be under republican form of
government.

on foreign relations calling for the i'm
mediate release of Julio Sanguilly i'm
prisoned in Havana. Senator Allen
(Neb.) introduced a resolution calling
on the president to send battleships to
Cuba and effectively protect American
prisoners there. Senator Hill IN. "
introduced resolution calling on the
secretary of state for all correspond
ence with sul-General Lee relative
to Americans impris oned in Cuba.
The feature of the house was the
ovation given to William J. Bryan,
who appeared on the floor, the confu-
sion being so great that Speaker Reed
was forced to call for order. Most of
the day was devoted to District of Co
lumbia business.

bate over the Cuban resolutions intro
duced the previous day. Senator Allen

cruelties against women and children.
Senator Morgan (Ala.) followed in a
speech reciting the breach of treaty
rights in Julio Sanguilly's case, and
Senator Daniel (Va.) spoke of the out
RACES to American citizens and insults
to American officials committed by
Spaniards in Cuba. The gallery several
times applauded and the vice president
was powerless to restrain it. No final
action was taken ON the resolutions
