women's Rights in Lushai.

Women's rights are fairly well recog-
nized among the Lushais, a native race
of India. In that country the woman can
do pretty much anything that man can
do. If the young lady Of Lushai gets
dissatisfied with her lot she simply puts
on a mans clothes. smokes pipe and
goes out hunting She even goes through
the form of marriage with another girl
for bride. Some years ago the English
went to war with the Lushais, and dur
ing it's continuance rescued Mary Win
chester. an English girl, who had been
a captive for several months. She was
none the worse for her experience, save
that she had learned to smoke pipe.

Why the President Suppressed Consul
Lees Report.
Washington, ID. O., May 13.-An i'm
portant conference was held late yester-
day afternoon at the white house be-
tween the President and Senators Davis,
lions committee The interview was the
result of the decision reached by the
committee not to continue the debate on
Senator MorganS resolution recognizing
the belligerency of the Cubans until the
exact policy of the administration had
been defined. This was partly due to
the semi-official announcement made by
Senator Foraker yesterday that the adj
ministration had it's own policy, and
would treat the Cuban question i'll a
proper way when the time came.
The members of the committee plainly
asked the President what he intended to
do. In confidence he told them that it
to change the attitude of the administra-
ton or to do anything which could be
construed by Spain as manifestation of
sympathy with the insurgents. For that
reason, he said, he had refrained from
sending warships to Havana to protect
the interests of American citizens.
The President told the senator's that so
long as the status quo was maintained,
and until overt acts were committed by
the Spanish involving the lives or proper
ty of American citizens the administra-
ton would not change it's existing policy.
The senators asked for some official
information about the state of affairs in
Cuba, and complained because this infor-
nation had been held back.
The President replied that if the Off
cial reports of ConSul-Gen Lee and
other consuIs on the island were made
public they would inevitably provoke a
riot in Havana. He said that he was
willing to let the foreign relations COM
mittee have all the information in the
possession of the government if it would
be carefully guarded.

lNsURGENT SUCCESSES.
Spanish Convoy Captured-''The Road to
Death.'

Spanish Convoy Captured-''The Road to
New York, May 13.-A dispatch 70 the
Herald from Havana, Cuba, via Key
West, Fla, says: apparently reliable
news of the most important insurgent
success in months has just reached Ha-
vana. 1t appears that Gen. Calixto Gar
cia and Gen. Rabi fell on a Spanish
force which was carrying food and sup
plies from Manzanillo to Bayamo early
last week, captured the convoy, routed
Gen. Lone's columns and pursued him so
vigorously that he fled to the coast with
a remnant of his brigade and took a ship
at Cabocoruz for Manzanille. Z.
''It IS said that so severe were the
losses and so thoroughly disorganized
were his men that the Spanish general
did not dare attempt to retrace his steps
to Manzanillo by land, fearing that he
would be again attacked and this time
wiped out of existence.
''This engagement, which is regarded
by Cubans here as more important than
any battle since Cacarijicara, goes to
show the helpless condition Of the Span
iards in the country east of the trocha.
''Spain has lost 5000 men and food and
arms without end along the road to Bay
amo and now the Spanish soldiers call it

THE STRANGER CAUGHT.
New York Police Accused Joseph
Talker of the Murder Of Un-
fortunate Women,

New York, May 13.-In the person of a
peddler named Joseph Talker, or TAFT,
the police think they have found the
stranger who has caused the death of
several women of the town within the
last year. Talker was arrested on the
street on Tuesday at the instance of
Mrs. Pauline Barnat, who claimed to
recognize him as the man who attacked
her as she was seated upon a bench in
Central park few days ago and robbed
her of jewelry. Today Talker confessed
he was the robber. Jennie Freeman, who
was the mate of Annie Book, mysterious
ly strangled to death in her apartments
near Fourteenth street last year, identi-
fed Talker as being man who was with
the Book woman shortly before the lat
ter's death. The detective bureau also
connects Talker with the more recent
death by strangling of Minnie Weldt and

and clothing necessary to relieve the
wants of Americans they should be ac-
compasied by an American warship.
The President has listened to this advice,
but has not indicated his intention to act
upon it.
The committee has list of heads of
families representing over 100 Americans
who are said to be in a starving condi-
ton. They are represented to be ''cor-
raled' in towns and unable to get out for
food even if they had the means to pro-
cure it. The correspondence represents
that there are thousands of Cubans in
this condition.

THEIR FEELINGS ARE HURT.
Delegates to the Postal Congress Begin
TO Protest.

Washington, D. c., May 13.-The in
ternal discussions of the international
postal congress, now holding session here
have reached a point which even the
avs of hospitality cannot longer cover.
The delegates are all quarreling with
each other and with their entertainers.
It is hard to say whether they are most
displeased with themselves or with the
country which invited them to hold their
congress in its capital city.
Truth to say, they have cause for dis
satisfaction on both counts. They came
to the United States perhaps with exag-
gerated notions of the wealth of the coun-
try and of the lavish hospitality awaiting
them. They have seen but little of the
country and nothing of it's hospitality.
Everything connected with their meeting
has been in such strong contrast with the
experience Of similar conventions assem-
bling in Vienna and other European capt.
tails that it is hard to make the gentle
men understand no slight was intended
to be put upon them.
The peculiar form of government Of
the city of Washington, ruled as it is by
a triumvirate appointed by the President
and with no power to expend dollar
without the consent of Congress first OBJ
tanned, is perpetual puzzle to them.

MIR. Atkyns of Boston Tells the President
About the Situation.
Washington, D. c.. May 13.-President
Mckinley devoted two hours today to
listening to an unofficial report on the Gu
ban situation as given to him by Edwin
T. Atkyns of Boston, who has extensive
sugar plantations in Cuba. Mr.. Atkyns
is a warm personal friend of Secretary
Long. and has just returned from Cuba and
today the secretary accompanied him to
the white house They arrived shortly
after 10 O'Clock and were Immediately
shown into the cabinet room.
The President sent for Judge Day, the
assistant secretary Of state, and the dis
tinguished trio for two hours listened to
Mr. Atkyns' exposition of the Cuban sit
uation as indicated by the military opera
tons and with relation to the American
interests on the island. During the con-
ference all visitors were excluded, many
senators and representatives being de-
MED admission. 1t is not known what
Mr.. Atkyns said to the President, but
there is reason to believe his representa-
tons favored the insurgents. Mr.. Atkyns
during the early part of the revolution
was inclined to take the pro-Spanish side
of the controversy, but, it is asserted, is
now convinced that the interests of the
island demand the victory Of the lnsur-
gents.
The President is gathering ali the in
formation obtainable on Cuba and the
light of this and the report of MIR. Cal
houn, now in Havana, will decide on his
course of action.

Pittsburg, Pa. May 13.-When the

RESIDENT MAY ACT AT ONCE.
Delay in Senate Committee is to Give
him an Opportunity.


Washington, D. c., May 13.-The de-
lay by the Senate committee on foreign
relations in taking no action until Mon
day is for the purpose of giving the Pres
ident an opportunity to act. representa-
lions have been made to the President
that there is necessity for immediate ac-
ton. Itqhas also been represented that
the matter Of recognition ought to be by
the executive and not by the legislative
branch of the government.
The President has been urged also to
take some steps looking toward the re-
lief of the starving Americans in Cuba.
1t is the belief of members of the COM
mittee that the President will take action
before Monday, but if nothing is done
by that time there is no doubt the COM
mittee will urge the Morgan resolution
in the strongest terms possible.
There will be a practically unanimous
expression of opinion in favor of the res
olution by the foreign relations commit
tee. Some may raise the constitutional
question against it, but will not urge it
very hard. At the same time they will
express sympathy with Cuba and say
that some action ought to be taken, but
maintain that the action should be by
the executive and not by Congress.

Sa1onica, May 13.-The Greek squadron
is watching the coast from Platamona to
the Gulf of Volo and it is claimed the
Greek warships are also blockading the
Gulf of Salonica. A British steamer,
bound for Salonica, has been prevented
from entering the gulf.
Paris, May 13.-A correspondent of the
Journal at LAMA, Thessaly, telegraphed
yesterday that he has learned from Off
cial source that an armistice between Tur-
key and Greece has been concluded. He
added: This solution was impatlently
awaited by all, for it is impossible to cons
tinue the war under the present circum-
stances The interest is no longer in
Thessaly but at Athens as it is probable
that the action of the cabinet in signing
treaty of peace is destined to bring the
ministry to a speedy end
London, May 13.-The Graeco-Turkish
news received today does not change the
situation. Everything is Ringing on the
Porte's action. There is no confrma-
tion of the report printed by the. Journal
of Paris that an armistice has been ar
ranged. The silence from the seat of
war seems to indicate that Edhem
been countermanded. The Sultan's posi-
ton is little stronger than King Georges,
therefore it is not surprising that while
the war feeling is so strong, he hest
tates at taking step which could be
construed at Constantinople as a surren-
der of Ottoman interests In addition to
this, the fact that the feast of Bairam
begins today, lasting until Sunday, offers
another excuse for delay.
Constantinople, May 13.-An official
dispatch from Larissa dated yesterday
announces that six battalions of Turkish
infantry from the east and from Larissa
four battalions from Diskata and four
battalions from Janina are marching on
Kalambaka, northwest of Trikhala,
where they will be joined by the Turkish
armies from Janina and Elassona.
