and tell him that today am more
firmly convinced than ever that Spain
cannot put down the insurrection, and
that every day it continues means loss
of life and property without the remot-
est encouragement of any final Spanish
success"
Gen. Money further says that the In
surgents are so close to Havana and so
strong in the country round about, that
they levy tax on everything that en-
ters the city, and in this way Weyler
himself is helping to support the re-
bellion by the duty he pays on the food
he eats. Money also denies Weyler's
statement that since j aceo's death his
command has been broken up and dis
persed. AT the time Of Maceo's DEATH"
he says. there was a force of fully 5000
insurgents in Pinar del Rio. My best
information is that they are there yet.
They have neither been killed Of, cap
tured nor dispersed; they are still in
the hills Of Pinar del Rio with arms in
their hands. as formidable to Spain as
ever, save for the death of their great
leader"
This is highly important if true. If
Senator Money will get up In the senate
and make such representations as these,
and vouch for them as the result Of his
own personal observations, it may effect
quite change in the sentiment of con-
gress and of the country as to the proper
course for the United States to pursue
in relation to the Cuban war-Minne-

Queer Things.

A Minneapolis Journal staff CORE
spondent, writing from Pierre under
date of Jan. 18TH, thus refers to the
queer things happening in the South
Dakota legislature:
"Queer things happen at the meeting
of every legislature, and as this is the
first real pop legislature that South Da-
kota has ever had, the righteousness is
probably more apparent because every
body is looking for it. IN the senate
Saturday, Senator Morgan from McCook
county made a motion that the sergeant
alarms provide a muzzle for those
members who consume too much time
in argument. Andrew Schatz of Hutch
inson county wants to dispense with the
chaplains Of both houses as a matter of
economy, and requiring the presiding
officer to repeat the Lords Prayer as a
substitute. He believes in this way
that the members Of both houses would
soon become familiar with the PRAYER.
A bill for the protection of persons and
highways seems to provide that every
traction engine, while perambuating
over the country roads, shall be pre-
ceded by herald, who shall announce
the app. oach of the dangerous and un-
manageable things, thus affording the
populace an opportunity to disappear.
Ole Olson of Lawrence county present
ed bill in the house which would
have settled the Cuban rebellion if it's
provisions were enforced. He proposed
that congress order the entire army and
navy to Cuba to subdue the Spaniards.
Mr. Michaels of Codington COUNT has
introduced bill in the house which
fixes the tariff for express companies at
about so per cent of the present rates"

The latest advices from Pierre indicate
that the senatorial contest has narrowed
down to Loucks and Plowman; Kyle
being practically out Of the race.
Loucks slightly ahead of Plowman, but
not enough to insure his election, and it
is yet largely matter of guess work as
to who will be first to pass under the
senatorial wire. Plowman's friends are
working with will, and are hopeful OF
success.

Senior Gonzala de Quesada, the Cuban

defines the object and purpose of the
Cubans in prosecuting the war now
pending between them and the Spanish
government. He says: "The Cuban
patriots are fighting for freedom, not for
bogus autonomy and specious promises
Of administrative reform. Their war is
for independence, and they are enlisted
for that war. They look for aid, not to

While the general business Of the
country is not as active as might be
desired, there are indications of marked
Improvement in the future. 1t may not
be reasonably expected, however, that
there will be any material change for
the better until after the adjournment
Of congress, and the country is thus re-
lieved from the fear of new and perplex-
ing agitations Come what will, there can
be no we'll based fear of dullness and
depression in our own little hundred
miles square," with its present signs of
prosperity standing out 50 prominently
and Enthusiastically as to admit of no
shadow of doubt. The prospect for a
large influx Of people to this region
from other sections is exceptionally
brilliant, being assured by the almost
fabulous mineral discoveri' at Ragged
Top and other districts which, in rich
ness, are without parallel in any other
country, Whatever may be lhe feeling
elsewhere, in this little world of ours,
which, by reason of its untold mineral
resources, we are amply equipped and
fully capable Of saving our own wood
successfully without the aid, assent or
approval of any other nation on earth,
there are no valid reasons for harboring
any fears of future distress. 1t may now
be set down as certainty that the
Black Hills has already entered upon
plane of prosperity which will in time
place the region at the head of the list
of gold producing countries ofthe world,

not profit by the splendid opportunities
thus presented deserves no better fate
than to be everlastingly consigned to
the silent realms Of the oblivious and
sorrowful soup.

State Legislature.

The following account of the doings at
the state capital come by special telegram
from Pierre to the Deadwood Times
under date of the 10Th inst:
This session of the legislature has
already been productive of several SEN
sational actions in the shape of resolu
tions introduced, also by the special
message Of Gov. Lee demanding the
state treasurer to make an actual exhibit
and showing of the state finances held
In his trust. The latest sensation was
sprung today when Judge Palmer intro
duced resolution in the senate asking
Tor the appointment of a committee to
investigate reports sent out by Messrs.
). Tomlinson, jr., Of the Argus-Leader,
and l.. F. Cavalier of the Minneapolis
Journal, relative to the statements that
Judge Palmer was the author of the
governors message and that there is
well defined deal or understanding be-
Iween Speaker Calvin and Palmer, by
(which the latter has agreed to hold back
the passage of all bills through the
house until the railroad measure has
been passed. The matter is, however
regarded as somewhat farcial here.
The long-whiskered boys have been
going against the nlckel-in.the-slot
machine in the cloak room pretty strong
and resolution has been introduced
for the expulsion of the same. Rep.
resentative Dollard today introduced
railroad bill as connter-check on the
Wheeler measure. The rairoad lobby
is still increasing. The chief accessions
during the past twenty-four hours were
Bush Sullivan and Col. Woods. The
latter has departed for the enlistment Of
further recruits and the sinews of war.
The prominent figures in the railroad
lobby so far have been Tomlinson,
Hunter, Johnson, Hoover, Sullivan, Nc.
Lean and Gould. There has been some
surprise and disappointment that Kit
tredge has not been on the ground, but
it is now generally understood that
Tomlinson is his chief representative
and spokesman. They are all doing
what lies IN their pow er TO retard the
passage of the original measure.
The senatorial fight is getting hotter
daily and the opposing candidates are
working day and night in their endeayor
to gather in their strength. 1t seems to
be u difficult matter with them to land
some of the members or to tell Just
where they "are at" Plowman and
anti Plowman forces arrived last night,
j. b. Moore is here with bee in his
bonnet and has meagre hope that he
may himself adorn the halls of the
United States Senate. He is exertlng
every influence Gf he possesses any
against Plowman. w. l.. Mclaughlin
has already proved to be valuable ad
dition to the Plowman forces. The
statement that the free silver republi-
cans are all for Goodykoontz is abso-
lutely false. They are divided between
Goodykoontz, Loucks and Holman.
Kyle's forces have been decreasing, all
of which are divided between Loucks
and Plowman, but the majority have
gone to Loucks.

the money. Mr.. Phillips says the money

Death Of Japan's Crown Prince.

San Francisco, March 10. - The
steamer Peru just arrived here from
the Orient. brings news of the death of
Prince Yoshi Hito Haru-no- Miya, heir
apparent to the Japanese throne. The
death Is being openly discussed In dip
lomatic circles and by those high in
the Japanese government, although
the event has not been publicly an
nounced. The reason for this is that
Japan has just concluded month of
mourning over the death of the dow
ager empress, during which period all
business was at standstil. To per-
nit respite from the national grief
that overwhelms the Japanese people
the announcement of the crown princes
death will be kept secret Of state for
the present.

5 London, March 19.-Popular opinion
In Greece. says The Times correspond
ent at Athens, imperatively demands
an early declaration of war with Tur-
key The idea is that Europe would
then be compelled to adopt a neutral
attitude. 1t is argued that the Greek
fleet could conquer the Islands In the
Aegean, including Samos, while the
Greek army, assisted by insurgent
bands, could rapidly overrun Mace
donia. 1t is suggested that. as the
conditions In Crete do not give suf-
fcient pretext for declaration of war
a more valid excuse can be found in
the refusal of Turkey to concede to
Greece the territory assigned to her
at the Berlin conference.
The official announcement Of the
blockade Of Crete did not produce much
of display of feeling either in the
boule or ON the part of the public. The
sinking of the Greek vessel by the Sc
benieo, on the other hand, is denounced
with Indignation as crime committed
by a civilized state.
Great quantities Of provisions and
stores have been sent to Crete. 1t is
believed that they will easily run the
blockade, especially If the weather
happens to be rough. There is no ces-
satlon In the military preparations.
