Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 5.--The faction
al Republican contest for the succession
to the seat in the United States Senate
occupied by J. Donald Cameron, which
has kept the people Of the State in a
fever heat for many weeks, was finally
settled tonight in the joint party caucus
of the Republican members of the legis-
lature, who chose State Senator Boies
Penrose of Philadelphia, as the man
upon whom the honor shall be bestowed.
OF the 215 Republicans in the Legisla-
ture, 211 were present and voting. OF

General John Wanamaker
-; Senator Cameron L; Congressman

delphia from the start, and the fight was
thus narrowed down to Wanamaker and

port Of Senator Quay and his success is
a great victory for that leader. Mr..
Wanamaker was backed by the faction
in which David Martin is the leader.

ness men in nearly every county. Much
bitterness was exhibited on both sides.

Of the House Of Representatives.
Senator John @. Grady, who after
wards cast the single vote received by
Mr.. Cameron, was the caucus chairman.

ed by a large gathering Of Philadelphia

speech in which he declared his intention
of carrying the fight against Senator

men viii continue their organizations

Of a number of the leading cigar manu-
facturers in Tampa, the sentiment
throughout Florida, both American and
native Cuban, is almost entirely with the
insurgents, and that on this account the
Government officials find it extremely
difficult to make much headway in their
efforts to suppress filibustering expedi-
tons. The inhabitants, he said, not only
m1slead the officials but in many cases
give important aid to the ilibustering ex-
peditions. Mr.. Wike said he believed
that the officials were doing their best
under these adverse circumstances, to up
hold the law, but ne admits without
much success
Mr.. Wike had nm interview with the
owner of the Dauntless, who complained
Of his treatment by the officials, particu-
larly by his brother, who is the customs
collector at Jacksonville. His vessel he
said, had often been detained and search
ed unWarranted by law, and he asked
that instructions be given the officials
to cease what he termed their unwarrant-
ed interference with him and his vessel.
Mr.. Wike replied to the captain that his
actions with respect to the law had not
been Of such a character as to inspire CON
fdence in his intentions for the future,
and that thus far he had learned moth
ing in the conduct Of the officials that
warranted censure for overzealousness.

port to the Secretary.

the Citizen from Key West says:
The tug Dauntless that left No Name
Key West, January 1st with a load Of
ammunition and 40 men has landed safe
" on Cuban soil and the tug returned
to Florida coast Monday night, where
she landed Colonel Nunez, Mr.. Cartaya,
Thomas r. Dawley, Jr., and thirteen
others who went to assist in landing the
cargo and see the work done. When the
tug left the Florida coast she went. to sea
and soon struck heavy weather, The sea
was running terribly at the time and the
men were thrown from one side to the
other of the boat. One whole day the
men had nothing to eat, and could not
make fire in the stove. All the men
except the pilot and the Captain were
huddled together in the dining room a.
waiting their doom which seemed to be
coming. After running two days they
sighted the Cuban coast and made land
ing near Sagua La Grande. Most of
the Cubans on board had not recovered
from their seasickness and would not as
sist in the landing. Thos. Dawley, a
New York correspondent that boarded the
small launch and would not leave her
decks assisted materially in landing the
cargo. Mike Welsh, the witty Irishman
had some difficulty in landing his Hotch-
kiss II FOUNDER and 200 shells. This
same gun was used on the Three Friends
and afterwards hidden on No Nome
Key. The insurgent troops were at the
beach and received the cargo Sunday
night and the tug left for the Florida
coast where she met the schooner Del
lie and transferred the men who arrived
in the city Monday night.
SENATOR HALE ON RECOGNITION
Washington, Jan. 5-Senator Hale to-
day presented to the Senate a Memo
randum ON the method Of recognition of
foreign governments and foreign States
by the government Of the United States
from 1889 to 1897, f" which, ,notwithstand-
ing the document makes no such claim, is
unquestiOnably intended to bear upon
the question OF the recognition of Cuba
Assuming that the recognition OF the
Spanish-American republics by the Uni
ted States and England may be taken as
typical, the conclusions reached are:
Definitive independence cannot be held
to be established and recognition is con-
sequently not legitimate so long as a sub
stantial struggle is being maintained by
the formerly sovereign State for the
of its authority, and that a
mere pretence ON the part of the former
" sovereign States or a struggle so in
adequate as to offer no reasonable
ground for supposing that success may
be obtained, is not enough
to keep alive the rights Of the State,
and to prevent foreign countries from /
falling under an obligation to recognize |
as a State the country claiming to have |
become one.

the various acts OF recoznition by this |
government beginning with the rec
ognition OF the independence OF the
