been brought to my atteItion by several
persons interested in his pardon. think
he is more sinned against than SHINING.
He has been punished sufficiently. In
my opinion his sentence was excessive
and would have no hesitation in public
ly saying that the ends of justice have
been sufficiently subserved by what he
has suffered. especially in view Of the
condition of his family and his failing
health"

they have acquired through the aid of a
certain number OF citizens of the nlted
States, have contemptuorsly repelled, by
the mediums of the Cubans residing in TINS
republic. any idea that the government OF
Washington can intervene in the contest,
either with its advice or in any other man
ner, on the supposition that the declara-
tlons of Observation-Disclosures on the part OF the
government of the United States are false
and that 1t wishes to get possession OF the
island one of these days. Hence, 1t Is eVi-
dent that no success would attend such
mediation, which they repel, even admit
ting that the mother country would con-
descend to treat with its rebelliouS suolects
as one power with another, thus surely
jeOpardizing its future authority, detract-
ing from its national dignity and lmpalrlng
its Independence, for which II has at all
times shown such great earnestness, as

now exerting, regardless Of the greatest

sion of the Presbyterian general assembly

the sheltering church for the lambs OF

WHAT WILL THE HOUSE DO?
Speaker Reed and President Mckinley
to Confer Concerning the Nor
gan Resolution.

Washington. May 21.-No official Infor-
nation could be obtained as TO what ac-
ton the house may take in the Cuban
resolution passed by the senate yesterday,
would have a conference with the prCsi-
dent on the subject at an early day AMI
no action would be taken until after that
conference. The inference was that the
action of the house managers would he
gUided to a large extent by the results IF
the conference. 1t is probable that some
attempt will be made on the part Of the
Democrats to have the resolution consid-
cred as soon as 1t reaches the house. but
tins cannot be done except by unanimous
special order from the committee on rules
This special order will not be brought in
until the Republican leaders are ready for
a tiOD.
