CANNOT CONQUER CUBA.
Congressman Robbins Says Spain
Has Undertaken the impossible

GREENBURG, Pa, Jan. 4.-Con-
gress1nan-elect Edward E. Robbins.
VINO has just returned from Cuba, SAYS:
1t is impossible to get reliable news
direct from Cuba because of the CEN
s0rsh1p exercised over all matter. even
private letters. The cause for which
the Cubans are struggling is the same
for which our fathers fought in our
war for independence. The Cubans
have no voice in their government and
there is no such thing as a july trial
there. Taxation is unbearable. In 1894
S4o,0Oo0O0 was Wrung from the unfor-
tunate Cubans and carried to Spain
and the pesants and farmers are I'M
able to stand the strain, hence the re-
bell1on. When the present revolution
broke out Cuba was being taxed to
support an army of $4,000 men, while
in reality there were less than 1000.
I'm the entire island there is not a
Cuban or foreigner, except Spanish,
who is net in sympathy with the revo-
lut1onary movement The cities are
under control of the Spanish. but the
whole country Is under control Of the
insurgents. The plan Of Gen. Weyler
is not to subdue the Cubans, but to
eXternninate them.
Ten or twelve Americans are now
confined in MORO castle. I talked to
Sanguilly, an American citizen, who
Is sentenced to perpetual imprisonment
in chains. He was arrested at his
home in February, without having TAX
en- any part in the outbreak. The
American consul interposed and he Sc
cured second trial, but, in the mean
While, his chief witness, Coloma, was
shot by order Of Gen. Weyler, and his
lawyer was imprisoned and he was
without witness or counsel.
Vice Counsel Springer informs me
that at the second trial there was no
evidence against Sanguilly, yet he was
sentenced to perpetual Imprisonment
IN chains. Spain cannot conquer Cuba.
The time has come when delay on the
part Of the United States is unreason-
able lin the matter Of protecting the
citizens of the United States now con-
fined in Cuban prisons, and also pro-
tect1ng American property and the $780,
coo, 600 of American capital invested on
the island. This is duty we owe our
citizens, We also owe a duty to hui
mainly to stop the cruel slaughter now
going on there"

VICTORY FOR DEMOCRATS.
Given Control of the Legislature OF
Delaware.

DOVER, Del Jan. 4--The decision
today Of the court of errors and an
peals in the Kent county mandamus

superior court, which latter body had
rendered an opinion that the Kent
county board of canvass should recon
vene and recount the votes of several
hundreds in Kent county, which the
Union Republican claim was unlawful
ly thrown out by the canvassing
board. This is a victory for the Demo-
Gratis and gives them a majority in the
legislature.
The Democratic members Of the leg

house caucus tonight, and selected EN-
DRY B. Riggin for speaker The result
is a pronounced defeat for the advo-

GET THEIR CHECKS BACK.
Some Consolation for DepositOrs In
the Scandal.


Receiving Teller Kellesvig was put
on the stand again yesterday In Judge
Belden's court room at the hearing in
the Scandal bank matter. He stated
that when the bank closed at 40
there was on hand $4,000 in cash. There
had been $4,000 sent to the Columbia
bank for the clearings.
Il understood you to say" said the
court, that all you had was SIS, 900 in
cash. and that the checks received
saturday night were used in the clear
ings'
Mr. Kellesvig acknowledged that that
was true, but Robert Christianson who
represented some of the creditors, OBJ
1ected to the statement
May 1T please the court" said he,
that $4,000 did not go to the clearing
house at all. 1t was stopped. That
money went to Mr. Hangar. That's
the long and short of it."
1t was then shown that there was
received about $4,000 from the checks
sent through the clearing house, which
made the total on hand that day about
$21, 900.
1t is claimed by the creditors that
the city treasurer secured the $4,000
sent to the Columbia bank for the
clearances and used it to pay the sal
aries of city officials with. The amount
appears on the books of the Columbia
bank, but, it is said, never reached
IT'S destination. Just what became Of
the money it has been the effort Of
the attorneys to discover.
Judge Belden ordered Receiver Byers,
of the Scandal bank to return to de-
positors all checks deposited in the
bank the Saturday preceding the fail
ure and on Monday, the day the bank
closed.

FOUR LANDED AT PORT ORANGE
Last Survivors of the Wreck With
out Food or Water When They
Reached Shore.

JACKSONVILLE Fla, Jan. 4-Capt.
Edward Murphy, commander Of the
lost steamer Commodore; Stephen
Crane, the novelist; c: B., Montgomery
cook, and William Higgins, an oiler,
with four Cubans, arrived here from
Daytona tonight. From the survivors
it is learned that the men of the Com
modore left the ship in four boats.
Twelve Cubans embarked in the first,
four more in the second, seven Ameri-
cans in the third, and four, including
Capt. Murphy, Crane, Higgins and
Montgomery in the fourth. The first
three were life boats, the last ten
foot dingy. The men in the third boat
fingered in the neighborhood Of the
sinking steamer, and for some reason
the small boat foundered and sank.
The men were ordered to swim back to
the steamer where they improvised a
raft. This the captain attempted to
tow to shore, fourteen miles away.
Just as they started, it was observed
that a negro on the raft was drawing
himself along the tow line tc the dingy.
The captain realized that this meant
death to all and he ordered the raft
cast adrift. He shouted to the men to
return to the vessel, which they at
tempted to do, but when near the Com
modore, it gave a lurch, sank, and the
men on the raft were drawn down in
the vortex and did not rise again. They
were James Redigan. engineer; E. B.
Ritter, assistant engineer; Frank Grain,
mate; w. A. G. Smith, fireman; Mo-
desto Leon, Cuban pilot and guide, and
Jonas Franklin and Murray Mobiles, two
colored firemen.
Four men landed from the wrecked
Commodore this morning at Port Or
ange. This accounts for twenty out Of
the twentyeight men on board. Those
landed were: Maj, Julio Rodriguez
Baz, Jose Alvarez, Manuel Gonzales
and Louis Sierra Maderas. The men
were observed in the surf, and boats
put out to aid them in landing. The
men were nearly famished, and what
little food was in the boat was eaten
and the last drop of water was given
out last night During the night one
of the men grew light headed and at
tempted to jump overheard, but was
prevented by the others. They say
they have not seen. the other eight
men reported missing. They are I'M
