TIE EVENT or THE CER-
YUIY

The signing of treaty be
tween the United States and the
British government agreeing to
refer all important questions
of controversy which may arise
between the two nations to a
court of arbitration, which was
done last Monday, is one of the
most important political events
occurring in recent years. 1t is
aptly characterized by lead
ing London journal as 1.-THE
event of the nineteenth centu-
ry-" Under the terms of this
agreement, what may be re
garded as practically a per
manent peace is established be
tween the two great English
speaking nations, who will
hereafter set a worthy example
to the world by deciding their
disputes with the aid of reason
instead of resorting TO brute
force. Thus is great turn in
the onward roll Of the wheel OF
progress made, and civilization
scores another important Veto
~. This is doubtless the be
ginning of i move which will
gradually reach all the nations
of earth, establishing a uni
versal era of peace and good
will President Cleveland may
we'll be proud that his admins
tralion has been marked by SO
great an achievement.

The Lone Star Company OF
Texans Distinguish Them

Chicago, January 9-The
Chronicles special from Key
West, Fla, says: News was
received here today from the
Pinar del Rio country to the
effect that "the Lone Star com
pany of Texas Rangers in the
Cuban army had again distin-
guished themselves" From the
report it appears that they
defeated a much larger force
than themselves, capturing the
Spanish captain and taking a
provision train that the Spanish
detachment was guarding. The
battle took place last week.
probably on Friday, judging
by the date of the letter re-
ceived at Palinca. south of
Cristobal. 4 detachment of
800 Spanish cavalry was escort
ing a train load of provisions
along this route, when the
Texans, who only number 100
men, ambushed both sides Of
the road. Tents, arms, ammu
milton and provisions were cap
lured. The Spanlards left five
dead and forty wounded on the
field, while the Cubans had

WHAT GOMEZ WILL Do.
Cuba to Pay Indemnity to
Spain if the Island Be
Granted Independence.

Havana. January 9-Gen-
eral Gomez has said in an in
terView with a sugar planter in
the province of Santa Clara
that the only concession he is
willing TO make To Spain is hat
the republic Of Cuba should
pay war indemnify to thar
country in case the independ
ence Of the island is fully re
cognized by the Madrid gov
erument.
General Gomez said that even
This concession is conditional
on Spain's recognizing the in
dependence of Cuba within fonr
months from January l, 1897.
If the concession should be &C
ceptei later, when the island
would he completely ruined by
the war, and Spain would he
without resources to continue
the fight, be would prefer the
triumph of Cuba without any
compromise for the benefit OF
the Spanish treasury.
He added that his offer had
the approbaIicn Of. 'le govern
m -nl of the republic of Cuba,
without whose consent he
would not listen TO any Span
ish oyrrtnrrs for peace. He
also denied as Spanish calum-
MES the story that he was will
ing TO surrender on the condi-
ton of certain, or any reform, or
home rule. General Gomez did
not think that the amount of
indemnity onght to be- he debt
contracted by Spain in Cuba,
which amounts now to $500.
100000. In his opinion 5000.
100000 was the most that Cuba
could pay without drpriving
herself of the resources neces-
sary to the establishment of
her republic.

GOVERNOR ALTGELD
WAS SNUBBED.
Republicans Refused to Allow
Him to Deliver His Farewell
Address on Retiring from
the Gubernatorial Chair

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. II
The Inauguration of Governor
Tanner today developed a sen
sational close of the State &c
remonies when the retiring
governor. John Q. Altgeld,
was not permitted to deliver
the farewell address, which
was one of the features of the
previous inaugurations in Hi
1ois. Altgeld had prepared,
and it had been given a place
on the printed programmes
and much interest had center
ed in its anticipated delivery.
The snub was made the more
painful to the Ex-Governor and
his friends from the fact that
Mrs. Altgeld occupied a seat
beside him on the stage and
shared the. confusion resulting
from the affair. Early in the
course of the exercises it was
moved that Mr.. Altgeld be re
quested to address the joint
assembly present at the inau-
gurati6n. Speaker Curtis of
the lower house declared the
motion out of order and sub
sequently refused to recog-
nize any democratic member
who attempted to address the
chamber. The majority of
the members of the joint as
sembly and the large audience
did not appreciate the signifi-
canoe of this course until a mo
ton to adjourn was carried
and put an unexpected end to
the ceremonies without the re-
firing governor having an OPP
portunity to deliver the ad
dress, which he carried with
him to the stage.
Much indignation was ex
pressed at the snub and the
democratic members to -night
are bitter in their denuncia
ton of what they term IAN
outrageous insult" while the
republican leaders declare that
the the whole affair was moth
ing more nor less than over
sight on the part of the speak
er in falling to call upon Mr..
for his speech. Ex
Governor Altgeld leftthe State
house Immediately after the
conclusion of the inauguralce
remonies and returned to Chi
cago without permitting him
self to be interviewed on the
affair. His friends were very
indignant and asserted that
the supposed insult would not
.njure the ex-governor in the
least, but would have a contra
~ effect
The very important informa
ion is vouchsafed that King
Alfonso has written to the
pope, inploring his prayers
or Spanish success.
