SEES ENGlAND'S HAND,

Russian Tress Accuses Great Britain of
Causing the Trouble in Crete.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1.-THE tone
of the press has taken a sudden turn.
First attacking Turkey for the Cretan
troubles, the Russian papers are now
equally sure that England is at the
bottom of it all. The Moscow Viedom-
osti says:
"Out of the English intrigues come
the Cretan troubles"
The Novoe Vremya thinks it is not
necessary to look to Constantinople or
Athens, but to London for the cause
The st. Petersburg Viedomosti, in a
frantic article, sees England's hand in
the Cretan rising.
Prince Ukhtomsky's organ calls for

sian fleets. The occupation of strategic
positions by landing parties, it says, is
the only way of restoring peace in the
island, which the enfant terrible of
European diplomacy troubled. That
would be the best reply to England's s
challenge to Russia and France on the
Egyptian question.

ADMITS HIS DEFEAT.
Senator Morgan Abandons the
Nicaragua Canal Bill for
This Session.
Fact Made Apparent That the
Opposition Could Not
Be Overcome.
The Bankruptcy Bill Now the
Unfinished Business in
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. Senator Nor.
gan, the champion of the Nicaragua
canal bill, announced in the senate
during the day his abandonment of
that measure for the present session of
congress, and thereupon it was dis
placed by the bankruptcy bill. The
senator made this move after pro-
tracted contest covering several weeks,
which had disclosed the fact that OBJ.
structive opposition could not be over
come. He gave notice that he would
renew his advocacy of the bill at an
early day Of the coming extra session.
Mr.. Morgan bitterly criticised British
opposition to the canal, and, address.
ing himself directly to Mr.. Sherman,
declared that if the next secretary of
state permitted himself to be fed on the
anCdynes of
Flattery of Great Britain,
the people would not support him. Mr..
Morgan asserted also that Mr.. Sherman
would not succeed in negotiating a
treaty relative to the canal as the
genius Of Talleyrand or Metternich
could not stand against the ''thimble
rigging" of those little republics.
The bankruptcy bill succeeded to the
advantageous position of unfinished
business" but the debate went over for
the day. The agricultural appropria-
tlon bill was taken up late in the day
and passed at $S, 1866, 500. 1t led to a
lively debate in which Secretary Nor
ton was sharply criticised by Senators
Vest, Chandler, Tlllman and others.
Mr.: Tillman (Dem., 8. o. called up
the bill limiting the effect of the fed
eral laws on the liquor traffic SO as to
give each state control of the subject.
No action was taken.

PRINCE GEORGE SAILS
Son of the Greek Ruler OFF for
Crete in Command of a
Torpedo Fleet.
Has Orders Not to Allow Turk
ish Troops to Land on
the Island.
Great Enthusiasm Manifested
by the Athenians Over
the Move.

ATHENS, Feb. 1.-THE torpedo flo
tilla, commanded by Prince George of
Greece, has started for Crete Great
enthusiasm is being manifested on the
part Of the people.
Prince George admitted that his or
ders were to prevent by every means
possible the landing of any Turkish
troops on the Island of Crete. Prince
George had very affecting interview
with his family before leaving for
Canea. The queen spent consider
able portion of the day in distributing
relief to the Cretan refugees.
Just previous to his departure Prince
George visited the king for the purpose
of receiving the royal commands. He
then proceeded to the departments Of
marine and foreign affairs. The news
of the departing Of the prince with the
torpedo fotilla spread like wild fire
throughout the city and created q pro-
found impression.
Greece has addressed note to the
powers justifying her action on the
ground that it was duty towards be-
levers in the same faith and towards
fellow Greeks. AS showing the relig-
ious character of the movement for the
Lhion of Greece and Crete it is an
nounced that the departure of Prince
George was preceded by solemn Te
Deum in the palace.

omitted, after that Of Alabama had
been read. No demonstration occurred
at any point during the count, but
when the vice president at its conclu-
sion announced the result there was
round of applause, both on the floor
and in tho galleries. The totals were
as follows: For president, Mckinley

Cuban General Interviewed
on the Proposed Re-
forms In Cuba.
Are Fighting for Independ-

Nothing Else.
"PaCified" Province of Pinar
del Rio Alive With
Insurgents.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-The World
publishes an interview with General
Maxine Gomez, dated Jan. 20, 1897.
General Gomez says in part
"Spain will not grant any real re-
form. We no longer ask concessions
from her. Even were Spain's propos-
ais bona fide, nothing could tempt us
to treat with her.
"We are for liberty, not for Spanish
reform. We are for Cuba, not for
Spain. am disgusted with this talk
of reform. Does Spain think we have
forgotten the lessons of the past?
"Home rule in its broadest sense is
independence. That is the k ind of
home rule we want. If you ask, would
we accept home rule with a Spanish
captain general, I would answer most
emphatically, NO We want nothing
from Spain. We do not want her cap
tain general or her glory, if she has
any remaining, nor her care"
"Do you believe the United States is
rendering aid to Spain?'
Uncle Sam Not Cuban Ally.
"That is delicate question:" he
answered. II hope not. Still, will
speak plainly and with candor. 1t is
certain that the United States has not
been our ally. If. the government at
Washington owes anything to the cause
of liberty if it favors the struggle for
freedom now going on here, it has not
shown it, even by SO much as an ex.
preston of sympathy"
"Could you materially increase the
size of your army if you had plenty of
arms and ammunition.
81 could march into the province of
Havana with $4,000 men in a month";"
replied General Gomez, "and that
would mean the almost immediate
freedom of Cuba, for one Cuban is
as good as two Spaniards. More than
that, 1 am convinced that with $4,000
men properly armed and equipped and
supported by artillery, the Spanish
army could be driven from Cuba
within three months

IN A PAClFIED PROVINCE.
Pinar del Rio Insur gents in Better Com
dition Than Ever.

Pinar del Rio InsuT gents in Better Con.
dition Than Ever.
HAVANA, via Key West, Feb. 10
The various reports and statements of
Captain General Weyler announcing
the pacification Of the province of Pr
mar del Rio and the almost complete
disappearance of the insurgents in that
part of the island are far from being
borne out by facts. As matter of
fact the insurgent forces in Pinar del
Rio seem better off than at any previ-
ous stage of the campaign. In support
of this assertion it is positively known
that at least 5000 insurgents, under
well known leaders, are at present un.
der arms in various parts of the prov
ince. In addition to these is strong
body Of insurgents which seems to have
mysteriously disappeared from the
neighborhood Of Havana. Their where
abouts is known to be
Causing span;a ;ards Considerable Anxiety.
The friends Of the insurgents intimate
that big surprise is being prepared
for Captain General Weyler when he
tries to return to Havana.
General Gonzales Munoz is upon the
point of returning to Spain on leave Of
absence and his example is to be fol-
lowed by several other generals in
March. These officers, the friends Of
the insurgents claim, see absolutely no
chance of glory in Cuba and consider
able danger of disgrace, to say nothing
of disease and wounds. Consequently,
their enemies add, seeing that the in
surgents must eventually triumph by
the machete or otherwise, they are
adopting the policy of rats when the
latter become aware that the ship
which harbors them is upon the point
of sinking.
