HOPES UNCLE SAM WILL At
TEMPT TO INTERFERE IN
CUBAN AFFAIRS.
Says It Would Relieve Spain Of Re.
garding Certain Neutrality
Laws And Place Americans
On Equal Terms With
All Other Foreigners.

New York, May PA special to the
World from Cienfuegos, Cuba, says:
In an interview Capt. Gen. Weyler,
upon his arrival here from Plavetas,
in reference to Senator Morgan's Gu
ban resolution, said
Il am not surprise at the actions
thus for taken. nor shall ! be if the
House concurs in the Senate resolu-
ton and sends it to the president.
Your jingoes are in the saddle and ev-
identity bent upon forcing the country
in some complications in order to dis
tract from the fast approaching inter-
nal crisis"
THE few scattering bands of Gu
bans are dynamiters, railroad wreck
ers, horse and cattle thieves, planta-
ton burners and highwaymen now in
the field here, who hold no port and
possess no seat of civil government
and therefore have no right to expect
recognition. Such distinction at Pres
ident McKinley's hands, Issued in the
face of my own proclamation officially
declaring the greater part of the is
land to be already pacified, would hold
the Washington executive up to the
ridicule of European powers and
promote healthy outburst of sympa-
thy for the Spanish cause. especially
from the neighboring old world gov
ernments, also those possessing colo
MES in the West Indies.
I'm belief, recognition may aid the
Cuban junta in placing a few bonds in
the United States, but will at the same
time assures the successful issue of our
proposed new Spanish loan in Paris,
London and Vienna and enable US to
carry on our war;"
1T will be virtual abrogation of
our special treaty with the United Sta
ties, place Yankees residing in Cuba in
an identical position before the courts
with other foreign residents, and I
shall be troubled less for the constant
complaints and often ridiculous de-
mands from American consuls."
1T would also relieve the Spanish
government of all responsibility for the
destruction of foreign property not
actually within their line of Spanish
defenses and further simplify matters
by assuring us the right to board and
search American vessels whenever
suspected"
For one shall heartily rejoice that
the hypocricy of the United States
governments oft reiterated professions
of friendship shall be finally unmas-
ed. 1 have always had little conf
dence in the assertions. Each new
declaration from Washington calcula-
ted to throw our marine ocials enga-

their guard has invariably been follow

Continuing the Captain General eX-
pressed delight at the proposition to
have consuls here furnish free trans

rect and unjustified attempt to inter-
fere in local affairs.

If They're Mistreated In Cuba The Oeles-

New York, May PA dispatch to
the Journal from Havana, says:
China's representative here received
instructions from home that in future
the lives and property Of Chinese res
dents in Cuba must be protected, 9TH
'erwise China may concede belligerent
rights to SPANS enemies in the Phil
ipines.
Complaints during the past six
months have reached the Chinese con-
sui here Of outrages committed upon
his countrymen by Weyler's columns
in various sections of the Cuban inter-
Tor.
Harmless and untrammeled Chinese
peasants, working upon the big sugar
estates in the central provinces, have
been machetted and left to die in the
fields by the roadside, simply because
not having taken up arms voluntarily
for Spain they were suspected as be-
ing sympathisers of the enemy. Sew
eral have been shot as alleged Cuban
spies and reports come in almost ev-
cry day of shops owned by Cinnamon
in the country towns being looted by
hungry Spanish troops. There are
other instances where food has been
arbitrarily taken and no payment Of
fered.
The news received from August Du-
bouch, a rich Chinese merchant con-
trolling a dozen or more trading posts
in Mantanzas, that his establishment
at the town Of Vieja Bermeja had been
sacked by Capt. Urquina, commanding
the Spanish guerillas and mounted VOL
unteers operating in the vicinity and
that his clerk in charge who had dar-
ed to complain, had been machetted by
Urquina in person and left for dead,
made Consul Liz's celestial blood burn.
He wired full details home and re-
ceived orders from the Chinese foreign
office to demand immediate reparation
and an apology. Accompanied by his
secretary and interpreter, he called up
on Acting Capt. Gen. Ahumada at the
palace this afternoon expressing his
surprise that Spain, while protesting
to be civilized, should permit her army
officers to violate her sacred treaties
assuring respect and protection to sub
jects Of a friendly country temporarily
within her gates and then proceed to
file his claims and emphasize his de-
mands.
He was assured that Mr.. Urquina
would be courtmartialed and relieved
of his command and that the claim Of
Dubouch, the outraged merchant would
if presented, promptly be settled in
full.
Mr.. Cay, the consups secretary, says
that upward of thirty other claims, al
ready upon file, will be pressed and
collected as soon as the demand of
Dubouch is satisfactorily settled.

New York, May PA dispatch to

political charges, be accorded equal
privileges with United States wdsCfn
States, here excluding exemption for
trial by military tribunals and assur-
ances Of a speedy judgment by civil
courts.
Venezuela claims this right under
the favored nation clause in her own
treaty with Spain, and the point has
been allowed. Now Mexico is under
stood to be pressing Madrid and Hav-
corded the same privileges.
One Trujilio, a Venezuelan recently
arrested as political suspect, was re-
leased yesterday at the demand of the
consul upon condition that he leave
Spanish territory.

cate that President Crespo stands
ready to follow suit in case the Wash

The Recent Elections.

In speaking of the recent cleo
tons in the several states, the
Pittsburg Times truthfully says:
"Ohio is Republican. In the
United States Senate she will con-
tinue 10 have two Republicans.
Until Senators Foraker and HaDna
took their seats in the Senate last
March, Ohio has never since 1869,
bad two Republicans in that body.
Governor Bushnell is reelected
by $4,000 plurality. With but two
exceptions, Mckinley i'll 1893 aud
Bushnell in 1895, no Republican
candidate for Governor has had 30
large plurality in 30 years, and
within those 80 years Ohio has
elected four Democratic Governors.
New York has gone Democratic,
reversing the large Republican
pluralitIes of the last four years.
As to her reliability as a Republi-
can State no comment need be
made. In 1897 New York City, as
in every election for generations
held the key to the si.uetion. With
opposition TO Democracy hope
lessly divided, there could be but
one result. In the country sections
the same causes that reduced the
Republican vote in Ohio operated
with like results. And yet the
Legislature is Republican, and
will be in 1899, when a successor
to Senator Murphy, Democrat, is to
be chosen.
The Republicans have gained a
Senator in Maryland. For tho fret
time In its history, Maryland after
March 4th, 1899, will be- repre-
sented in the Senate by two Re-
publicans. The State seems
squarely in the Republican ranks,
Iowa Republicans polled a larger
vote than ever before cast for Gov
ernor, and have larger plurality
than any cast for President since
1880, with the exception of last
year. 1t is larger thsn any cast
Tor Governor since 1881, with two
exceptions, 1893 and 1895.
Kansas Republicans have made
heavy gains. South Dakota has re.
deemed herself from free silver and
Populism. Even in Colorado where
Mckinley polled last year only %,
27l votes it takes the official count
to tell whether or not the combined
forces of Populism and Democracy
have won against the union of reg
ular and free silver Republicans.
Nebraska alone seems to stand by
Organism.
Kentucky is not a Republican
State. True, the Republicans car.
ried it in 1895 and 1896 by plurali
ties of SOP and 2sl respectively.
But they were in the minority or
the total vote 81 ,O97 in 1895, and
9,614 in 1896. The Democrats VIII
this year, but are also in the minor
lty on the whole vote.
That the result in Pennsylvania
endangers the States place in the
Republican line, no one need be
lieve. That the lessons the returns
carry will be needed none need
doubt"

JUSTICE was meted out swiftly in

jured another daughter. The hor-
rible murder was committed with a
Ratchet and 4 mattock. Circuit
Court was in session at the
time the crime was committed
(Which crime was done for a few
dollars) and the murderer was ar
rested, tried, convicted and sentenc-

ahalf from the time he committed
the awful deed. This is the way
Judge Reece Blizzard executes the
law and if the LAWS were executed
thus swiftly on all occasions there
would be but few lynchings. The
murderer in this case is to be hang
ed December 18th.
