sANGUILnF IN THIS COUNTRY.
Arrived Sunday Evening on Steamer
From Havana.

Key West Fla, Feb. 2S.-Besides Ju-
lilo Sanguilly last nights steamer
brought to this city Mrs. Ada Rodriguez
who, with four other ladies, all Of the
finest families in Cuba, were arrested
on January 10 last and thrown into a
dirty Spanish prison, among n Let of
low, abandoned women, without the
slightest charge having been preferred.
They were kept for twenty days in a
state of incommunicado when they
were marched through the streets with
a number of criminals and taken to
Havana. There Mrs. Rodriguez was
imprisoned for thirty-two hours in the
house of refuge, which was packed with
women afflicted with loathsome dis
eases and stocked with lice.
Through the efforts of Consul General
Lee she was released on condition of
leaving Cuba. Her husband, the gem
eral, now commands the insurgents in
Havana province. Mrs. Rodriguez
states that the insurgents are about to
concentrate their forces around Hava-

Mr. Morgan said that as he had been
a member of the commission whose
award seemed to have caused all the
trouble he had always felt delicacy in
discussing the subject in the senate.
He reviewed the history of the ques-
ton from the time the United States
acquired Alaska, an act, he said which
excited the anger and jealousy of
Great Britain, and the very moment we
gained possession the Canadian raiders
were turned into Bering Sea and in the
first year destroyed 100000 seals. Year
by year the difficulty increased, owing
to the confscation of Canadian vessels,
until finally it became necessary to take
some definite steps for the final set
tlement of the question.
AT that time there We're two parties
in the United States-one demanding
that the United States plant itself
squarely upon it's right to protect these
seals and to defend that right by force
of arms, if necessary; while the busi-
hess party or peace party favored ar
bitration. This policy prevailed, and,
as in every arbitration with European
governments the United States lost it's
case. So it would always be in arbi-
tration with European countries. If
this country had planted itself firmly on
it's right to sieze all vessels engaged in
pelagic sealing and had maintained
that right there would be no vessels
now disturbing our seal rights. He could
not look complacently either on the
proposition to brand the females or
to kill all the seals and he, therefore,
supported the committee amendment.
He hoped the incoming administration
would have sufficient fortitude to de-
mand that Great Britain should faith
fully perform her duty in the premises
as outlined by the Paris tribunal and
execute her part of the award The
American nation was always seeking
shelter from foreign difficulties, but he,
for one, did not want British protec-
ton.
The committee amendment was then
agreed to.
The following new amendment were
adopted:
Providing for the appointment by the
president of a board of three commits
sioners to revise and codify the Grim
inal and penal laws of the United
States.
Appropriating 100000 for a dredge
boat for Sabine Pass. Texas and $780,
600 for one years maintenance.
Appropriating s175,o00 for new rev.
enue cutter for service on the Atlantic
coast with headquarters at New York
Appointing a commission to select a
site in Washington for memorial
building to be erected by the Daughters
of the American Revolution.
Increasing the limit of cost of the
public building at Norfolk, Va, from
S150,000 to $275,000
The sundry civil bill was then passed
and at 11:07 the senate adjourned until
tomorrow morning at II o'clock.

Washington. Feb 2S.-The Inaugural

ance given the town by the decorations
of public buildings, business houses,
hotels and residences, and the review

that the nations great quadriennial

Around some of the hotels, however,

Lyon at the midnight hour-prayers
that its work might enlarge; prayers
that the early spirit of plain living
and high thinking might never desert
1t; prayers that patrons and friends
might be raised up TO carry forward its
work; prayers that conservation of
duty may forever be it's watchword.
Some of these prayers have been an
swered in this fire. Those devouring
flames have not only done invaluable
service in preparing the way for more
commodious building, or buildings, but
also in attracting the attention of the
public to the reasonable demands of an
institution of learning which has done
larger business on a smaller capital
than any other in the country What
it's too modest faculty, alumnae and
friends have been disinclined to do, the
messenger of fire has done.
Mount Holyoke college, hidden among
the hills of the Connecticut river valley,
and vet known the world over for it's
beneficence, has just at present the ear
of the Christian public. May it's too
late appeal not go unanswered. Sixty
years ago Mary Lyon, richly lowered
by God, had the courage as pioneer
"to stand in the portico' and preside at
the birth Of the sublimest movement of
the century, the higher education of
women. There can be no better way
to commemorate the life and perpet-
uate the influence of the great woman
whom we honor to day than by an am
pie and generous endowment of the in
stitution with which the name and
fame of Mary Lyon will forever be link
ed in tender and inseparable associa-
tion-Mount Holyoke college.

third verse, 21st chapter Of Matthew,
"The Lord hath need"
His theme was the higher life In

a delicate way, a beautiful tribute to
Mother Mckinley. In conclusion DR..
Manchester said:
How shall we preserve the peace Of

great land of ours? There is one
thought in all our minds this morning
as our dear brother and friend goes out

of Lulu B. Hurst by John P. Conley,
last night, states that he is satisfied
that the shooting was accidental and
that it was probably a case of ''did

that Miss Hurst was angry with Com

were true.
According to Captain Dugan Miss

he did not throw the revolver under a
