TESTING TOBACCO.
Arizona Leaf to Be Made Into Fine
 Cigars.

CISarS.
 Tobacco growing in Arizona is yeb in the experimental stage. A second crop is being grown ss the Phoenix ex- psrimental station and, like the first crop raised yeuF ego, promises well. Just what the tobacco Is, however, in point Of flavor and general merit, has yet to be tested. It is proposed within the next thirty days to m ske the leaf up into cigars, dividing them into two grades and than secure the opinion Of tobacco experts. Ia this manner it is proposed to determine the question whether AFiz 1ns can raise tobacco profSably.

Search for Remains of Victims of Augusta
Drowning Accident Futile.

Augusta, May 24.-All day long the
search for the Augusta young men, Ed
win Nash, Joseph Wight and Lewis Moore,
drowned Sunday, has been kept up with
out success. Numerous parties have
dragged the river for a mile each side of
the supposed scene of the accident. A

he is dead. Miss Perry came from Gar

FRESH TALK FROM WEYLeR.
VIII Be Glad to See Hypocrisy of United
States Unmasked.

New York, May PA copyrighted
special to the Journal from Cienfuegos,
Cuba, gives the following interview with
Captain Weyler concerning the action of
the United States Senate upon the Nor
gan resolution:
II am not surprised, nor shall be if
the House should concur in the Senate
resolution and send it to the President.
Your jingoes are in the saddle, and evil
IDENTIFY bent upon forcing the country into
some serious foreign complications in
order to distract attention from the fast
approaching internal crisis.
1.-THE few scattering bands of Cuban
dynamiters, railroad wreckers, horse and
cattle thieves, plantation bu rners and
highwaymen now in the field here, who
hold no port and possess no seat of civil
government have no right to expect rec
ognition. Such distinction at President
McKinley's hands, issued in the face of
my own proclamation officially declaring
the greater part of the island to be already
pacifed, holds the Washington executive
up to the rldicule OF European powers,
and prompts a healthy outburst of SYM
pathy for the Spanish cause, especially
from neighboring old world governments
also possessing colonies in the West In
dies
I'm brief, recognition may aid the
Cuban Junta in placing a few bonds IN
the United States, but will at the same
time assure the successful issue of our
purpose in the new Spanish loan in
Paris, London and Vienna and enable
us to carry on the war with renewed
vigor.
Personally, shall be glad, if recog
milton comes. Our position will then be
more clearly defined. 1t will work a
virtual abrogation of our special treaty
with the United States, place Yankees
residing in Cuba in an identical position
before the courts with other foreign resi-
dents, and I shall be tr oubled less by the
constant complaints and often ridiculous
demands from American consuls.
''It would also relieve the Spanish gov
ernment of all responsibility from the
destruction of foreign property not ac-
tually within line of Spanish defences.
''For once / shall heartily rejoice that
the emptiness and hypocrisy of theUnited
States government and the reiterated
professions of friendship shall be finally
unmasked.
II have always had little confidence in
the sincerity of it's assertions. Each new
declaration from Washington calculated
to throw our marine officials engaged in
patrolling the Cuban coast off their guard
has invariably been followed by the de-
parture of some new Cuban flibuster
from an American port with arms and
munition of our enemy"

that under the circumstances they felt
compelled to absent themselves until the

GAS you were for years member of
the Senate foreign relations committee
what is your opinion of the rejected
treaty Of arbitration between Great Bri-
tain and the United States?''
II have always considered it senti-
mental farce. 1t is based upon false
idea in the first place that the Intelligent
processes of diplomacy are inadequ quate
to adjust differences between the two
governments and second that the ami
cable process of special arbitration will
not be resorted to when diplomacy fails.
Both of these assumptions are falsified,
even by our very late experience, and it
is humiliating confession by both gov
ernments to admit that these potent in
strumentalities are not to be within
their reach in the future as they have
been in the past. If on the other hand
it means that the feeling of hostility be-
tween the two countries is so pronounced
that it is necessary to establish dis
ciplinary tribunal to keep them in order
and to prevent them from rushing at
each others throats (Which is prepos-
ferrous supposition) any permanent tri-
bunal of arbitration would be brushed
aside and utterly fail of it's intended pur-
pose

Washington May 24-It is fact gener
ally overlooked, that up to the present
time the House of REPRESENTATIVES has
done exactly as much in the way of ac
ton for Cuba as the Senate has done.
Before the present joint resolution the
only thing done was the passage Of CON
current resolution expressing the sense of
the Congress that the belligerency of the
insurgents should be recognized. The
House passed this very soon after it came
over from the Senate The Senate has
kept up a continuous agitation on the
subject for more than a year; but their
real, practical action has been euualled
by the House until the present time.
| There is good reason to believe that now
the House will hesitate before it agrees
with the Senate. The concurrent resolu-
| tion last winter was merely an express
| ion of opinion. 1t did not command. The
pending resolution commands and carries
| with it all the responsibility of a com
mand Mr.. Hit made this plain in the
debate Thursday; but the Democrats
tried to obliterate the point by charging
that Mr. Hit was very ready last winter
to recognize belligerency when Demo-
crat was President, but did not wish to

The recognition of belligerency is a
function belonging to the executive. He
| alone has the information upon which
to base his action, since all the officials
who can observe the facts in the case are
| the consular officers who report to his
Secretary of State, and whose reports
must from the nature of the case be re-
gard ed as confidential. Congress cannot

Therefore it must take a step in the dark

| There is of course considerable i'm
patience on the Republican side of the
House. There has been more or less talk
of revolt, some of the eastern members,
the Illinois delegation in particular, be-
| ing quoted as favoring action by the
House. The pains which were taken on
Thursday to bring Republican member
back to the House, even from very distant
places, for the sake of a resolution which
was SO generally favored that it passed
with practical unanimity, shows that the
leaders feared something else. What they
feared was that the spirit of impatince to
grant belligerency might infect the Re
publican side. This did not happen, and
there seems to be good prospect that the
Republican party in the House will stand
together to await solution of the Cuban
question in accordance with the advice
of the officials who are placed in position
to deal especially with such questions.

! AN INTERESTING AUTOGRAPH
ALBUM.


Mr.. In. Sanborn, master of the Leav-
lit school at Turner Centre, Me-, is the
possessor of an interesting autograph
album which is now being passed around
in Washington for the signatures of
Speaker Reed and the other Maine men,
the President and others. The album is
of the old-fashioned kind, with red COW
erns ornamented with gold. The pages
are yellow with age, but interesting for
the autographs of many statesmen of the
past. Among the names are those of
j. A. Bayard of Delaware; Stephen A.
Douglass OF Illinois; Henry Clay of
Kentucky, once a speaker of the House;
Pierre Soule of Louisiana, an eloquent
senator, Daniel Webster and Charles
Sumner. together on the same page;
Edward Everett on the next page; J. w.
Bradbury, Hannibal Halnin and Thomas
B. Reed on page headed "Maine;;"
Jefferson Davis, the president Of the Con-
federacy; Winfield Scott, the conqueror of
Mexico; William H. Seward and Hamil-
ton Fish, Lewis Cass and Alpheus Felch
of Michigan; John Bell of Tennessee,
famous as the Bell and Everett candidate;
John P Hale, of New Hampshire; and
coming down to a later date, Grover
Cleveland and Richard Olney The book
is very interesting and is no doubt highly
priced by it's possessor.
THE WEATHER AND THE TARIFF.
The unusual weather which up to the
present time has characterized the spring
in Washington, has undoubtedly had
something to do with the delays on the
tariff bill. Extreme heat usually begins
by the first or middle of April, and is ex-
perienced at intervals until June when
the steady heat Of summer usually be-
gins. But both April and May have been
marked with usual coolness and there
fore has bred contentment instead of
| impatience and restlessness at the Capitol
The senators are not much moved by
hot weather anyway, yet no equanimity
| is quite proof against Washington heat.
