THE CASE OF JULIO sANGuILLY
President Sends Letter and Core
spOndence to the Senate.

President Sends IA Letter and Core
spOndence to the Senate.
Washington, Feb. Julio Sanguilly, a
citizen of the United States, who has
been condemned by the Spanish authori-
ties to perpetual Imprisonment in chains
in Cuba, was the subject of a letter and
correspondence sent by the president to
the senate today.
The report says representations have
been made to the Spanish government
which, it is believed, will not be without
effect that the case seems to be one in
which executive clemency may be rea-
sonably exercised.
The correspondence contains letters
stating that Julio Sanguilly had been ar
rested on suspicion of conspiring against
the government, and the American con-
sui, who, hearing he might be immedl-
ately shot, represented to the captain
general that he was an American citizon.
AS he was not captured with arms in
his hands, it was sought to have him
tried by a civil court instead of by
courtmartial. The captain general, Con-
sui General Williams says, evinced dis
pleasure when he learned that Sanguilly
had been recognized as an American cit
izen by both governments. saying that
Americans were conspring against Spain
in the United States and that he would
shoot every one found with arms in his
hands against the government of the
island. regardless of the consequences.
After some correspondence. the cases
of Sanguilly and Aguirre were trans
ferred to civil jurisdiction, and the delay
in their trial was attributed to their ma
tionality. and after many efforts to have
Sanguilly's case come to trial. the secre-
tary of state, on September last. de-
manded his immediate trial or release.
Consul General Lee suggests to the
state department that the Madrid gov
eminent be notified of the facts and
request presented that Sanguilly be re-
leased from prison on condition that he
will not return until the present war is
closed

Washington, jan 81. - Senator Lodge
said today:
'Since receiving a copy of the kilograms
which Claussenius & Co. were sending
out to affect votes on the immigration
BILL and which 1 gave to the press, there
has been sent me copy of the circular
which this same firm have been sending
out through the mail. AS they stated In
an interview that they were sending out
their kilograms only in their individual
capacity, it will be interesting to observe
that this circular is addressed to agents.

individual capacity and not as agents OF

" Chicago, Jan. 25.-To Agents: The I'M
migration bill, which is intended to ma
terially restrict immigration, comes up
for final disposition in the house OF repre-
sentatives, Washington, ID. c., on wed

that immigration will really be restricted
almost to the extent of total exclusion oil
immigrants should the bill become a law
and every effort should be made to insure
the defeat of the bill.
q" You are indirectly interested in the
defeat of the bill as much as we are, and
we would respectfully ask you to wire

AS AN ENGLISH MINER SEES 1T.
Condition of American Labor Worse
Than in Great Britain.

London. Jan. 31.-Samuel Woods, secretary
of the British Trade Union Congress and its
parliamentary committee, and who attended
as a fraternal delegate the convention of the
American Federation of Labor at Cincinnati
last month, takes a rather gloomy view of the
condition and prospects Of the mining industry
in the United States.
of his observations he says that the condition
of the miners, especially in Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania, is very unfortunate, their earnings be-
ing far below those Of their fellow workers
in England. The condition, he says, is due
to the cosmopolitan nature of the labor en-
ployed. The mines of America, he says
through the power of coal trusts and monopo-
lies, are being worked mainly by coolie labor
black men, Russians, Chinese foreigners of all
kinds; and a consequence, American and
British workmen are being rapidly driven out
The miners have not the same protective
laws that exist in England, while the nspec.
ton of mines is a farce There is no inspection
in the true sense OF the word, and the inspec-
tors are much more interested In the employers
than in the workmen. The system of inquiring
into accidents is very lax and, speaking gener-
ally, human life is not half so sacred in Amer
lea as in England. So far as the labor market
is concerned, he concludes that the greatest
obstacles to organized labor in America are
the gigantic syndcates and trusts that prevail
on every hand and In connection with every in
duStry.

PRINCESS LoUIsE's POOR HEALTH.
4 Queens Daughter Who Became
Popular I'm Canada.

London Feb. lit is reported that the
health Of the Princess Louise sixth child
and fourth daughter of the queen and
wife of the marquis of Lorne, has been
such Of late as to give serious concern to
the members of the royal family. Her
royal highness has suffered to a larger
extent than usual from climatic changes
during the present winter and several
times has been compelled to disappoint
charity bazaars, concerts and similar
functions at which she was to have been
the principal figure. The princess is the
only one of her majesty's children who
has not presented the venerable sovereign
with grandchildren, all of her sisters hav-
ing been unusually prolific in this partic-
ular. Her principal ailment is said to be
functional rather than organic. The prin-
cess was born on March is, 1S4S, and is
consequently very nearly 40 years of age.
She was married to the marquis of Lorne
in ISL. In Canada, where she resided for
several years while her husband was vice
regent and governor general she won
popularity far exceeding his own. which
continues to this day

REALLY EXTRACT OF HORSE MEAT.
Chicago Flooded With an Imitation

Chicago Jan. 31.-The medical profession is
thoroughly aroused over the development that
immense quantities Of alleged extract of beef,
put up in jars and with labels that are an
but which is in reality made out of horse
flesh, almost in the heart of the city has been
put on the market during the past year. Nu-
merous cases are cited by prominent practi-
critical cases has failed of its usual effects
and these are now supposed to be due to the
fact that the spurious product was used in
stead of the genuine. The health department
has not yet decided whether or not those res
ponsible for the fraudulent preparation can be
adequately prosecuted, but If no punishment
can be found to fit the crime it is probable
that a special bill bearing on the subject and
making such crimes a penitentiary offense will
be introduced during the special session of the
legislature.

interesting fact that the engineers and
promoters of nearly all the big canal en-
terprises that have been given birth in
this country and abroad are all graduates
of Rensselaer,; that every railroad of note
in the world has at least one Polytechnic
man in some office of high authority, and
that the chief engineer of the United

Views.
Chicago Feb IAN Associated Press
representative saw Lyman ]. Gage this
morning. He was very busy, having be-
fore him about a thousand letters, nut
took time to say regarding the New York
Worlds interview, sent in these dis
patches, last night:
Those are my views. subject to such
modification as further thought may
seem to require. 1 must decline to go
into a delneation of my views now, as
1 have not time to formulate them. and
do not think 1t would be proper or ad-
vance the interests of the country"
Mr.. Bryan's Opinion.
Galveston, Tex, Feb. lin regard to
the statement sent out last night by the
Associated Press giving an interview with
Lyman J. Gage, William J. Bryan said:
Mr.. Gage is a daisy. The greenbacks
should, he says, be retired, and the silver
purchased under the Sherman act should
be sold. and the treasury notes redeemed
and cancelled. Then we ought to have
bank notes redeemed and cancelled. Then
we ought to have bank notes that are re-
deemable only in gold. And he also says
the government should not act as a ware
house for either gold or silver. There is
no doubt about Mr.. Gage being daisy. I
wonder II he would like to inaugurate a
system by which we should have to OBJ
tain his permission each morning to live
throughout the day"

AMERICAN PLANTERS IN CUBA
The state Department Is at Work i'm
Their Hehalf.

Washington. Feb 1.-The state depart
ment is endeavoring to relieve the Amer
lean sugar planters in Cuba from the
embarrassing position in which they are
situated as n result of the attitude Of the
authorities toward their attempt to grind
cane Probably with the intention of
forcing all of the plantation hands into
the towns and so preventing them from
giving aid and encouragement 10 the in
surgents, the Spanish officials have sur
rounded the grinding of cane with so
many vexatious restrictions as to make
it practically impossible TO make sugar
in a large portion of the island. So far
as can be gathered there is no general
or even specific prohibition in terms
against the grinding. but under existing
orders the sugar men find it impractical
Bile to grind
The department of state has been ON
barrassed in the effort to make a protest
by the difficulty OF finding official copies
Of any order or prohibition by any We
sponsible person, yet it Is necessary to
have this in order to have tangible evil
dence upon which to found a claim for
damages in behalf Of the sugar men.
So far the efforts OF the department
have succeeded in obtaining a removal
of restrictions only upon the grinding of
burnt cane, which is Of some value, while
not, OF course, equal to ripened cane, but
the efforts are being continued, and it is
hoped will result soon in an abatement
of all the onerous restrictions complained
Of by the planters.

A A WOMAN.

A Remarkable Exhibition OF Nerve
Where Screams Were Expected.
Tuesday afternoon D. B Steford of
this place started out driving with his
sister, Mrs. Dunbar, who is visiting
here. While ascending the hill just
this side Of Wilkesboro, the horse be-
came frightened, WhirIed around and
started back down the hill on a swift
run. Mr.. Stafford was thrown out Of
the buggy, but retained his hold of the
lines and was dragged G considerable
distance. :
This left Mrs. Dunbar alone in the
buggy with a runaway horse with her
little son. she neither screamed nor
attempted to jump out of the buggy,
but carefully crawled over the dash,
and got the line that wasn't broken.
She regsined her seat in safety and had
nearly succeeded in stopping the horse
when the bridge was reached. Here q
man caught the animal. It was a
thrilling scene, and, strange to say, no
one was injured to any extent
