BITTER AGAINST CALHOUN.
Weyler's Havana Organ Scores the
Commissioners.


HAVANA, May 30.-In a leading ar
ticle this g. m. El Diar1o de Ia Marina
makes g. scathing indirect attack upon
Commissioner Calhoun by crlticising
articles which have appeared in q
Washington newspaper over the sigma
ture Of Mr.. Pepper who, in the g1lise
of an intimate friend off President Nc
Kinley and Mr. Calhoun, accompanied
the latter to Cuba.
Ell Diario de la Marina maintains
that many incidents Of the interior
working Of the mixed commission
which are wholly private have been
divulged by Mr.. Peppers letter, thus
tending to compromise Mr.. Calhoun.
The paper also resents Mr.. Peppers s
unfriendly attitude toward Spain in
his reports on the Cuban question ex-
pressing disgust that, while he blames
Spain for the neutral results Of the
war, he has no word Of eensure for the
Cuban insurgents, whose torches are
destroying the wealth of the island.
In closing its article, Ell Diario de la
Marina calls attention to the fact that
two New York newspapers, whose Gu
ban representatives are scarcely ia
vorable to Spain, maintain bureaus in
Havana under the same roof with the
United States consul. general, intima-
ting, without much delicacy, that the
correspondents Of these newspapers
are virtually under the wing of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, and draw most of their
Inspiration from him.
Mr. Fishback, accompanied by Mr..
Pepper, went into the interior today
to visit Guanajay. Mr.. Calhoun spent
the day with Gen. Lee at the Ameri-
can consulate.
Capt. Gen. Weyler went from Uncas
to Garlic on Friday, but returned to
Tunas today

ger train between Santa Clara and

On Thursday might, May lS, the
Jones took on a cargo of rifles, ma-
chetes rapid fire gums and ammunition
at the wharf of the Wilmington, New
Berne & Norfolk railway In the south
ern limits Of the city. Before she had
entirely finished her cargo report
was started that officers were ap-
preaching, and that the revenue cut
ter Morrill, was getting up steam.
Taking alarm at this, the Jones pulled
out and started down the river at
10:45 p. M, and In few hours crossed
the bar and anchored outside. The
schooner John D. Long, having mean
material at the Wilmington and Wei
don wharf, was shortly afterwards
towed out to sea by the tug Jacob
Brandon, going past the revenue cut
ter Colfax. On the schooner were
Gen. Nunez and another officer of the
Cuban army, Cuban pilot and Capt.
John O'Brien, Of the filibustering tug
Dauntless. At the sea buoy they went
on board the Jones. anchored near by,
and Capt. O'Brien took charge Of the
expedition. A hawser was made fast
from the Jones to the schooner, and
early Friday morning the tug steamed
to the south with her tow. The Jacob

She coaled from the schooner, took

AWAY. She left the Jones between and
O'Clock Thursday night, made sue
cessful landing in Cuba near MatanZas
and after an absence Of twenty-four
hours returned to the Jones, took an
other cargo of war material and started
for Cuba Friday night. On the last trip
Gen. Nunez and the s1xty-two Cubans
left the Jones and went on board the
Dauntless and accompanied Capt.
O'Brien. When the Dauntless left with
her second cargo the Jones coaled from

sailed back and got into Southport yes

The cargo carried out Of here was
valued at $78000,- and is said to have
been the second largest ever landed in

story THAT the Jones was chased and

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-In pursu-
ing a policy looking to the complete
independence of Cuba, President Nc
Kinley has the cordial cooperation of
every member of his cabinet. The pres
ident proposes to use every endeavor to
induce Spain to pacifically accept the
good offices of this government for the
purpose of concluding an honorable
peace, with the understanding that
Cuba shall have a republican form Of
government and be freed from the pos
sfbility of military dictatorship; this
government to undertake to sustain a
civil form of government on the island.
In the event Of failure, after exhaust
ing every means of securing a peace
full solution of the problem, the presi-
dent will resort to force. The Spanish
minister is fully advised of the plan.
and has communicated it to his govern
ment.
At the cabinet meeting on Friday last
it was suggested by two of the MEM
bers of the cabinet that in the event Of
war it would be necessary to issue
bonds, and that this power would have
to be secured from the congress, where
the silver senators might block the way
by demanding the issue Of silver bonds
This matter was fully considered, and
on Saturday the president communi-
Gated with a leading silver Republican
senator, who sent back word: Tell
the president that the silver senators
are as patriotic as ever, and will do
nothing IN such an emergency to ham
per him. We are not only patriotic, but
we know enough of politics to know
that the people Of this country would
condemn us if we should pursue such
a course in such an emergency 1t
would mean the doom of the silver
cause If we should undertake to stand
in the way of public opinion at such a
time"
Senator Morgan, Of Alabama, the
author Of the joint resolution which
recently passed the senate, said: IT
am silver man, and a Democrat.
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-05-31

The president is Republican and a
gold man. Both Of us are American
citizens, and I should stand with him
in war with Spain, and so would

It was stated at the White house
this afternoon by a senator who had
conversed with the president, that the
report of Judge Calhoun is expected
early this week, and that the presi-
dent does not intend to take final &C
tion in the development Of his policy
until he receives that report. Consul
General Lee was directed to show
Judge Calhoun the copy of his recent
report, and also to give him data con-
cerning later developments in Havana.
in order that the important report Of
Calhoun may be an up-to-date docu-
ment, upon which the president may
act. and which he may be able to lay
before both houses of congress in a
special message on the all-engrossing
topic. No doubt is expressed in any
quarter concerning the determination
Of the president to bring to a close the
present condition of affairs in Cuba.
Charles Pepper, for many years
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, and known to be a man
of absolute reliability, has long let
ter in the Evening Star from Havana,
in which he says:
mo one who comes to this island
will doubt, after forty-eight hours OBJ
servation, that a state of savagery ex-
lists which goes under the name of
war People are being starved to
death by well-def1ned military policy.
The island Is being made a desert un-
der the same policy. The full meaning
of Gen. Wey1er's concentration order
Is being shown by it's results. Another
year and perhaps the insurgents will
have nothing from which to draw sus-
tenance-neither men, food, nor arms.
Gomez and the other insurgent leaders
are sustaining war in desert. The
young soldiers from Spain are brave
enough, but for every paoifico muir
dered more than one soldier of Spain
meets death by disease. Smallpox is
working greater havoc now among the
refugees in Guanabaeoa, five miles
from Havana, than hunger. But hum
ger is taking many lives, and destitu-
ton is everywhere apparent, pitdfully
apparent. One of our consuls today

The report of Lieut.. Frank B. Nc
Coy, detailed from the Third infantry
to inspect the companies of the Minne-
sofa national guard, was submitted to
Adjt Gen. Herman Muehlberg Satur-
day, and every member of the guard
will be interested in noting the result
of the inspection. Without reference
to the report, which was not at his

tions of the report could not be secured.
The position of honor again falls to
Capt. Ed Beams crack Company D,
which earned a. marking of SO points
out of a possible 100. The other COM
panies of the First regiment in ST.
Paul and Minneapolis are pretty well
together with creditalble markings,
while Company @, Of the Third regi-
ment, at Duluth, in command of Capt.
Resche. for the first time in many
years broke into the honor column,
which had hitherto been monopolized
by the First regiment, and captured
score of So points. This puts them in
third position, second place having fall
len to Company A in Minneapolis,
Capt. McWade commanding, with 80
points. Two Minneapolis companies
had a close struggle for fourth place,
Capt. Diggles, Company B, having won
the position by less than point from
Capt. Corriston's Company I, both COM
panies having total of 81 and a frac-
ton.
Another close struggle is shown to
have taken place between Companies
G, Capt Robinson, and E, Capt. Spear,
both Of st. Paul, the G boys holding
a lead in the marking by two points.
The figures were 83 for G and 81 for 3.
Capt. Monfort's command, Company

ly followed by the Red Wing company.
Outside Of the First regiment COM
panies located in the Twin Cities, the
Duluth company, which showed up so
credftaIbly, and the West Duluth COM
pany, which stands at the bottom with
but 81 points, all the infantry COM
panies ranged between 60 and 75 points,
and for the most part showed signs of
Improvement in general efficiency.

showing, with the soldier boys from

that the tariff bill, instead Of having

further in'timates that the senate bill

hopes Of some Of the Greek newspa-

There is no reason to fear that

Sugar Schedules Will Cause Exciting Discussion

Reed for the programme Of inaction
pursued by the majority has become
the settled policy Of Representative
Simpson and other members of the
minority, and the sessions Of the
house this week will witness a con-
tinuation of these tactics. The con-
ference reports on the sundry civil and
Indian appropriation bills are ready
for consideration, and this week the
leaders would like to dispose of them.
But the difficulty now is that many
of the members have gone home, and
at present there Is no quorum In the
city. This will interfere with the de,
sire Of the leaders to recess until Tues
day, when the house meets tomorrow
and compel an adjournment until
Thursday. On that day, If quorum
is present, the house will proceed with
these two conference reports, and also

Times this morning controverting the state
ments recently made by Missionary Sjobloms

Christian missions was under consideration.
He admits the truth of many of the charges,
such as the mutilations and the severing Of
hands by the soldiers, which, he says, is a
native custom extremely difficult to Grad
icate He admits that an attack was made on
the village of Mandakacagigs, and that many
cruelties were practiced there. But he de-
clares that all these offenses have either
been punished or are being investigated The
