CRIMINAL LIBEL CHARGED.
Senator Wellington Brings a Case
Against GEN. Felix Angus.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 30.--United States
Senator George L. Wellington this morn
ing filed presentment against Gen. Felix
Agnus, charging criminal libel, and it is
understood that civil suits will follow.
Gen. Agnus is the proprietor of the Bal
timore American, and the action is the
outcome of an editorial published in that
newspaper on Friday last in which an edi-
torial from the Washington Post is cited
and pronounced true
The Posts editorial, which is re-publish-
ed in the American, charges Senator Well
ington with furthering the candidacy Of
Gov. Lowndes to succeed United States
Senator German, by seeking to influence
the members of the legislature by means
of the public Offices within the gift of the
chief executive of the state.
Senator Wellington went before the
grand jury this morning bearing with him
a copy of The American containing the
article complained of, which was publish
ed under the heading: 1.-The Disgrace of
Wellington There were no other wit
nesses, and after his withdrawal, the
grand jury devoted twenty minutes to a
discussion of the case at the end of
which time an Indictment was found.
Gen. Agnus promptly furnished bail In
the sum of $1,000. There was no arrest

alties in them. We will meet this suit,
as we have met all others, and my attor-
neys will be instructed to push It, In my
opinion it is merely an attempt to muzzle
the press in view of the coming contest
for the senatorship. The American has
been unfriendly to Senator Wellington's in
terest in that matter, and the hard hits
given him. in my opinion, greatly reduced
his power. The American, however, will
continue to publish the news of this con-
test as 1t progresses, whether Mr.. Well
ington likes it or not''
Senator Wellington declined to discuss
the suit which he had entered against Gen.
Agnus, except to say that he intended also
bringing a civil suit against Gen. Agnus
and the American.

SHIPS FOR SOUTHERN SEAS.
GOVERNMENT NO LONGER AFRAID
OF OFFENDING SPAIN.

No Vessels Wintered South of FlOri-
Owing to the Cuban War-Present
Conditions Believed TO BE Such
That No Complications Are Likely
to Follow n Change in POlicy-The
MarbIehead Going to Port au
Prince.
Washington, Nov SO.-In the opinion of
the administration, the time is now ripe
for a renewal of the practice of having
the United States navy represented in the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and the Car
ribean sea.
For several years past, save an occa-
sional cruiser sent with all haste on her
way to or from the South Atlantic sta
ton, not a vessel of the navy has gone
beyond the southern waters of Florida for
the reason that the presence of United
States war vessels in the neighborhood of
the Spanish-Antilles might have served to
create an erroneous impression as to the
attitude Of the United States towards the
Cuban insurgents and have tended to COM
plicate the relations between the United
States and Spain at a time when it was
desirable that no outside influence should
be brought into play. Now, however, with
the Improvement in conditions an Cuba
and the continued existence of good rela-
tions between the two governments, the
navy department is about to let some OF
the smaller vessels of the navy go into
West Indian waters during the present
winter season.
The Marbehead, now al Annapolis, will
start southwark as soon as she has con-
cluded her work in connection with the
trial of the torpedo boat Winslow She
will go to Navassa to look into the condi-
ton of United States citizens who are
working on that island. Nothing has been
heard from that place officially for some
time, and it is deemed proper to inquire
into allegations of abuses in the treat
ment of the workmen there.
While engaged in this inspection the
Marblehead will make her headquarters
at Port au Prince, on the west coast of
Hayd, and will be charged with the pro-
lection Of American interests generally
in that section of the West Indies
This statement. which comes from the
department of state, is taken to mean that
her commander will see that our interests
do not suffer in the event that the German
government proceeds forcibly to punish
Hayti for the arrest of Herr Lueders.
The Wilmington also is to be sent south
ward, but first will be docked and over
hauled. She will touch at Guadaloupe,
and after a stay in tropical waters will
continue on to the South Atlantic station

ed into training ship, is slated for a trip

CONVENING OF CONGRESS.
FEW MEMBERS AT THE CAPITAL
AS YET.

A Full Attendance ON the Opening
Day Expected-Member Holding
Their Views on Cuba in Allegiance
Until They Learn From Omcinl
Sources what the Situation Is-The
outlook For, Currency Reform Not
Bright.
Washington. Nov. 30.-Members of con-
gress are unusually slow in putting in their
appearance here for the regular session,
which convenes next Monday. Up to this
time there have been scarcely more than
half dozen arrivals each day. From now
on, however. it is expected that the rush
will begin, and that a very fun attendance
will be on hand on the opening day.
Few of the leaders of either house ars
here yet. This Is especially true Of the
House Of Representatives. Neither Speak
er Reed nor Mr.. Dingley. the floor leader
of the majority, win reach Washington un,
til Saturday or Sunday. With the excep-
ton Of pronounced and radical pro and
anti-Cuban congressman the members Of
both houses, as a rule seem to be holding
their views in allegiance until they ascer-
tain from official sources what the situa-
ton is as to Cuba.
In the matter of currency it seems all
ready established that the democrats ana
their free silver allies will oppose stub
bornly anything the majority is likely to
propose, and the fact that the opposition
in the Senate seems lnsurmountable in
clines many of the republican members
of the House to the opinion that it would
ia nr 10 q mi arrfa aIaff ton,
whatever. Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa is one
of those. He thinks the futility of pass
ing a measure in the Senate makes 1t in
eXpedient for the House to attempt TO
put through a measure, and, besides, ne
doubts the propriety of the republicans
of the House attempting to make a re-
publican policy on subject upon which
the republican platform does not speak
to the point.
lie says if the President as reported,
recommends any scheme for the retire
ment Of the greenbacks 1t would be be-
yond the republican platform, and every
republican would be free to support or
oppose it as his judgment indicated. There
is some talk of republican caucus on
this question, many of the members be-
heving that If a currency measure is to
be passed. differences could be more
easily adjusted and concerted action Sc
cured in this way
Mr. walker OF massachusetts, chairman n
of the committee on banking and currency,
SONS days ago sent letter to every mem
ber of his committee urging the impor-
tance of currency legislation, and asking
each member to be prepared as soon after
the opening of the session as possible to
work to the end that some measure may
be submitted TO the House at an early
date for action.
Mr. Hepburn says he has received many
letters during Ri
from mercantile bodies, urging action on
the anti-scalping and pooling bills, and
he expects both these questions to receive
early attention.

PERU THREATENS AN AMERICAN.
His Attempt To Collect Damages the
Occasion For the Threats.

Washington, Nov. SO.-The state depart
ment has been otifed that the Peruvian
autohritles are threatening the interests
of Victor II. McCord, the American engin-
eer, who was arrested and confined in that
country during a revolution, and in whose
behalf our government has preferred a
claim for indemnity. The notification was
formally given to the department through
letter to the department from the attor-
ney who was prosecuting the claim, which,
in part, is rs follows:
Letters from Mr.. McCord advise me
chat after declining all approaches Of the
spanish persuasive character, and being
Informed that the matter of the claim WAS
in the hands of his government, which
was alike interested in the protection of
his rights and those of all other American
citizens in Peru. all kinds OF threats look
ing to coercion had been resorted to cal
culated to intlame the ignorant people
or the realm against him, such as threat
ening to eNpel him from the country oblig-
ing the Peruvian railroad corporation to
dismiss him from it's service, and to-day
l noticed the following cablegram sent
broadcast throughout the United States
by the Associated Press.

The newspaper press of the country have

citizen, because Mr.. McCord Is pushing
claim for damages for false arrest and
imprisonment against Peru
1T is difficult to understand how insol-
ence or intolerance could be made more
insulting or more reprehensible

E. G. White of New York, for years en-
gagged in business pursuits in Peru un-
derstood and meant what he said In let
ter addressed to President Mckinley from
Arequpa, the scene of all this outrage,
and which is on file In your department
and from which / beg leave to submit the
following extracts:
" Just as sure as this McCord claim Is
not promptly paid, it will embolden others
Peruvian under pretext of rebellion, or
revolution, to murder or maltreat Ameri-
cans at will, knowing that IL this just
claim Is not paid there is no protection for
Americans in this country. /, knowing
these people as well as l do, am prepared
