Donnell demanded at once that Consul
General Lee be sent for and Wes'ier
finally consented. General Lee e.o-
peared after Mcdonnell had been held
prisoner several hours and demanded
McDonnells release In reply TO Nc
Donnell's claim that he was an Amer1-
can citizen in Cuba to look after his
property. Weyler retorted that it would
be to his interest to attend strictly 10
his private affairs without regard to
Spain and that he had better be care
ful what sentiment he uttered
Mcdonnell says he then exhibited his
passport and demanded instant release.
As he describes it. Weyler took the
paper gingerly. looked it over an in
slant and in the presence of Consul
General Lee. flung it under foot with
contempt and exclaimed that il was of
no Importance and had no bearing in
the case. General Lee protested and
demanded an apology, which Weyler
refused.
Mr.. Mcdonnell recovered his pass
port and again demanded his release,
saying that il was an insult 10 the
United States to have her seal flung
under foot in that manner. Weyler
made several insulting remarks to the
effect that all Americans had better re-
main at home and finally consented
TO set Mr.. Mcdonnell at liberty. but
added that he would be constantly
watched while in Havana, and that he
had better leave soon.

LABOR AND CAPITAL.
Conflict During the Morning Hour of
the Senate.

Washington, Feb. pa conflict be-
tween labor and capital took place in
the morning hour of the senate today.
1t came un in the shape of a resolu-
ton to withdraw from the president an
act authorizing the Metropolitan Rail-
road company of Washington to extend
its road into one OF the suburbs. That
resolution had been inspired by the
knights of Labor in order to punish
the railroad company for dismissing
and refusing to take back several of
It's employees who were members of
that organization. The senators most
conspicuous in the cause of labor were
Mr.. Allen (Pop., Neb.) and Mills Dem.
Tex), while the cause of the railroad
company was sustained by Senators
Mcmillan (Rep., Mich.), Gallinger
Rep., n. H.) and Faulkner (Dem., w.
Val. all of them members of the COM
mittee for the District of Columbia.
Finally the resolution was laid on the
table by a vote of 80 to "a.
The remainder of the days session
was occupied in the consideration of
the postoffice appropriation bill, which
appropriates $95, 5,S35,3sS.
The points which led to discussion
were the item of the payment of rail-
way mail transportation and the prop
osition to create a committee on that
general subject.
Mr.. Butler (Pop., N. c. desired to
have the railroads paid at the rates
which are charged by express COM
panies for like service, but his amend
ment was ruled out on point of or
der. The senate amendment for a joint
committee of the two houses to inves-
tigate the whole subject was modified
by the committee itself so as to pro-
vide for a joint committee-a nominal
change only-and then a substitute was
offered by Mr.. Chandler (Rep., N. HI
proposing that the committee shall
consist of the two chairmen of the
postohice committee in the senate and
house, the postmaster general and two
citizens to be appointed by the presi-
dent. and that the scope of its inquiry
shall embrace the correction of alleged
abuses in the postal service, including
mail matter. the exten-
sion of free delivery in the rural re-
gion, the reduction of the cost of rail-
road TRANSPORTATION. the adoption of
one-cent letter postage and other like
questions.
In the course of the long debate on
this subject Mr.. Dubois (Sil., Ida.) mo-
tilted the Republicans that they could J

STORIES OF oUTRAGES ON
AMERICANS SMILED AT.
Planter of Alabama Tells How He
Was Robbed and His Passport,
Containing the American Seal
Was Ground Under Weyler's Heel
Scenes of Destitution Every
where in Cuba.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The Post says
that Mr.. Henry w. Mcdonnell, a
planter of Point Clear, Alabama, who
owns large plantation in Cuba, 10
miles from Havana, has arrived in
Washington direct from Cuba, where
he says he was subjected to a series of
degradations so insulting to his re-
publican manhood and American citi-
zenship that he has came post haste to
lay his case before the authorities OF
the state department and demand i'm
mediate justice. Mr.. Mcdonnell, sew
eral months ago, received information
at his home at Point Clear, that his
plantation in Cuba was being raw
aged by the Spanish soldiers and that
unless il was cultivated by spring it
would be confiscated by the crown. He
had left the management of his plan
tation entirely to his agents in Cuba,
who since the revolution have been I'M
able to cultivate it. He accordingly
sailed for Cuba on Feb. and arrived
at Havana Feb. 4. On the steamer he
made the acquaintance of a news
paper man named Hopkins who was
representing the New Orleans Times
Democrat. He did not know at the time
that Hopkins was newspaper man, or
the stories he had heard of the treat
ment accorded reporters in Cuba would
have served as a barrier to further in
tercourse. However, he became very
intimate with Hopkins and upon land
ing the two spent the first day to-
gether in Havana.
Mr. Mcdonnell has his passport from
the state department so that he deemed
himself perfectly safe. On the first day
of his arrival. accompanied by Hop
kins, he rode 15 miles into the country
to his plantation. Everything was in
ruins. Not a building remained stand
ing, all of the expensive machinery had
been mutilated or carted away and not
a soul was to be seen anywhere. Four
years ago. Mr.. Mcdonnell says he re-
fused $50, 900 for the plantation. Now,
he says. he could not get $500 for the
and he does not expect TO
get a cent out of it for the next ten
years. On his return to Havana, after
the destruction caused by
Spanish soldiers. he indulged in some
uncompliment2ry remarks about the |
Spanish government. These remarks |
were uttered publioly with characters
tic American frankness and came to
the ears of General Weyler. Within /
three hours, Mcdonnell says, he was |
arrested and brought before the gen |
eral charged with nothing in particular. |

Boston. Feb. 27.-The Globe says: One
of the largest corners in wool ever at
tempted in the United States at present
exists in the condition of the Boston
market in anticipation of the restora-
tion of tariff on wool in the near
future by the Mckinley administra-

This morning il was learned that a
syndicate was recently formed in this
city to buy all the wool offered in Euro
pean markets in anticipation of duty
of 10 per cent being put on wool by
the Mckinley administration.
The agents of the syndicate are buy
ing Australian and South American
wool, and from this time on every
steamer coming to Boston, not to
speak OF special boats to arrive, will
be loaded with their cargo. 1t is call
culated that 100000 bales of Aus
tralian and South American wool will
be brought to this country by the New
England syndicate within the given
time.
The syndicate will clear $4,000, which

Washington, Feb. 27.-The anti
scalping bill was passed by the house
this afternoon, after the exhaustion by
its opponents of every parliamentary
device of which the rules permitted
the exercise. The majority in favor
of the bill-more than two-thirds-was
sufficient TO overcome all obstacles and
finally triumphed.
The bill was called uD by Mr.. Sher-
man (Rep.. n. " by instructions of
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce, and he offered to limit
the debate to two hours.
This was not acceptable to the oppo-
nents of the bill, and the result of their
refusal was that Mr.. Sherman secured
the ordering of the previous question.
the operation of which restricted de-
bate to 20 minutes a side. The bill was
advocated by Messrs. Sherman and
Hepburn and opposed by Messrs. Pat
terson (Dem., Tenn.), Mahaney Rep.,
N. ", Northway CRep., o., Elicit
Dem., Va.) and others.
The bill passed by a vote of 142 to 81.
Among the other bills passed were
these: Vacating Sugar Loaf reserva-
tion, located near Leadville, Colo, and
restoring it to the public domain. to be
sold at auction; directing patents to
settlers on lands in the eastern penin-
sula of Florida; establishing an addi-
tional land office in Montana; extend
ing for one year the period within
which yearly final proof of desert land
entries may be made. The house con-
Cured in the senate amendments to the
Indian appropriation bill. and it was
sent to conference, and the house, at
5:4O, adjourned until Monday.
