HE is AFTER JOHNSON.
The Case Is Much Complicated and VIII
90 10 the District Court.

Missoua, Dec 12.-J. j. Fristoe, the
messenger from Governor stephens OF
Missouri, arrived to-day from Helena
with the requisition for Joseph Johnson,
the negro who is said TO have eloped
with Miss Neal of Sweet Springs, Mo.
Mr.. Fristoe has also the orders from
Acting Governor Spriggs of Montana TO
Sheriff Mclaughlin for the delivery OF
johnson to the Missouri authorities.
Sheriff Mclaughlin is absent on official
business and Under Sheriff Curran is
acting in his stead. Mr.. Curran in-
formed the Missouri officer that he could
not release Johnson until he had re-
ceiVed legal advice in the matter as
Johnson is in the county jail under "a 80
day sentence from local justice Of the
peace. County Attorney Duncan has
been consulted in the matter and other
lawyers are looking into the question,
which has been seriously complicated
by the action of Justice of the Peace
Myers.
Johnsons attorney, G. +. Hall, has re-
ceiyed u petition, signed by negro resi-
dents Of Kansas City. addressed to
Lieutenant Governor Sprggs, asking
him to refuse to send Johnson to Mis-
souri,, as he is liable to be lynched
there. The petition was not received
until after Governor Sprggs had acted
i'm the matter.
III ftBdfu 10 the tdih dbott iSI1lhib.
Mr.. Fristoe says that it is all nonsense.
All that he has heard about ii has been
here in Montana. In Missouri there is
no excitement over the ease, he says.
Mr. Hall. Johnson's attorney, is active
in behalf of his client and will use every
effort to hold him here. There is some
doubt as to the regularity of the action
Of Justice Myers. The case may be
brought before the district court to-
morrow. Public sentiment here is far
from being unanimous in support of
all the silly twaddle that has been ut
tered in alleged defense of johnson. It
appears that Johnsons true name is
Higgins.

To the Editor OF The Times:
Last Monday evening, at Gonzaga Col-
Iege Hall. before brilliant and crowded
house, the question, Resolved, That the
United States recognize Cuban belliger-
ency,'' was discussed between half dozen
picked law students, representing the uni
versities Of New York and Georgetown
The gentlemen upon the negative s0lemnly
assured the audience, repeatedly, that 40
reliance could be put upon the news from
Cuba published in the daily press 1t was
asserted that the press is wholly unreiia-
able: unworthy of confidence; given 20
manufacturing horrible tales OF rapine and
bloodshed by those who synpathiZe with
the Cubans, and all for the purpose OF
dragooning this country into according the
insurgents belligerency. l have more than
once heard the press denounced in this
manner in debates upon the Cuban Gues-
tion in this city We were told by these
same young men that Gen. Weyler is
model of kindness and bcnevolence, und
that upon one occasion he wept and gave
So 900 out Of his own private purse toward
a fund for the purchase OF provisions ioT
the poor who were starving in Cuban cirfes.
1t was also asserted that the reports Of
orr consuls in Cuba, on file in the Depart
ment of State, deny that there is state
of war in Cuba, and that all the atrocities
are committed by irresponsible bands of
rebels, who represent a very inconsiderabie
proportion of the population These as
founding assertions fell uron the audience
like a shower OF hailstones
This morning l find in The Times an
other account of An Atrocious Crime Com
mitted by Spanish Savages. or COURSE
according to the debaters, this is III fairy
tale, easily cOntradicted if one will only
take the trouble to 90 to the State Depart
ment For my part am weary of hear
ing the press denouneedin public places rs
the father OF lies by young men who have
never been connected with newspaper.
Is nothing reliable except what filters
through rhe Department OF State? Are
all the American correspondents in Cuba
liars? Are all the Cubans liars? Either
the debaters stated what was false, or
else the public is grossly mislel ~ the

Not a Happy Family.

All the signs of the times point TO m
Autocrat who has ignored the Constitution

Constitution, ever before attempted
How many of the Autocrat's subjects
thus far have screwed their courage to the
sticking point, il is not now possible TO
state Indications are that between thirty
and forty already have committed them
selves tentatively to a declaration or
independence If the leaders of the
movement can secure enough adhcrcnts
tocoustitute a maiorityo of the House, when
added to the forces of the minority, the
war will break out speedily and will be
waged for scalps. If the boot and whip
of the Autocrat appear more terrible to
most of the Republicans than the sub
version of the Constitution, and the GER
tain political vengeance Of constituencies,
then perhaps nothing more than per
functory protest may be made.
The recalcitrants have prepared fair
and logical review of the situation, in the
form of an address, which adopts the line
Of argument followed by this journal, and
by Senator Morgan. and exposes the faliacy
and hypocrisy of the Autocrats position
very effectuaily. 1t does not conclude
without offering sincere and heartfelt
tribute TO the greatness and sublime good
ness OF the Autocrat; but this dose OF
adulation possibly is rendered trifie un-
palatable by polite insinuations that. If he
has any lingering idea that he might be
the Republican banner-bearer in 1900, he
would do well TO dismount now and per-
form the proper thing. The address then
closes with the notice that, unless the
committees are announced. or the Speaker
shall declare his purpose to form and an
nounce them within week." the dissi-
dents will test the sense Of the House on
the proposition for the appointment OF
coumittee-as in the senate that shall
enable the majority members to name their
committee members. and the minority
members to do the same" The final words
This will test the independence, man
| hood and self respect of members OF the
House of Representatives without regard TO
party. It will show who are the collar
wearers' and who have the courage to
show to their country that they carry
their soveregnties under their own hats ="
II the program outline in the foregoing
is braveIy carried out. the redemption of
the House of Representatives is at hand.
The main question is: VIII the trainers Of
the address have the courage TO make the
fight? If they really have, we earnestly
call upon all Democrats to join with and
| back them. The immediate issue is not
political one. II is Shall the Represents
tives Of the American people permit popular
| representation in the House to be sup
pressed and extinguished by a single Auto
crat?

one Dunpeoned American.

Some time ago Senator Hale of Maine
etated from his place in the Senate that
there were now only twelve American
citizens confined in Cuban prisons. With
out discussing the accuracy Of the Sena-
tors facts, we offer the suggestion that
if British peer had stated in the House
of Lords, that twelve Britons, without
mentioning the only" were confined in
Spanish dungeons and had been so i'm
priSoned for an average Of a year with
out trial, the admiralty would have had
q squadron on the way to look after the
matter on the same day, or there would
have heen change Of ministry
Our present purpose is to call the atten-
ton OF the Government to the case Of
one American prisoner now, and since
July, 1895, confined in the fortress at
Cahanas He is only a boy; native born
American boy, well-known in Washington.
His name is George Washington Aguirre.
He is Of Cuban descent, and some time
Bfter TIE revolution broke out on the
island. in a fit Of boyish enthusiasm, be
ran away from home and managed TO
find his way within the Cuban lines. Un'ler
the Captain Generals amnesty proclama-
tian, he presented himself at a Spanish
outpost on the Fourth of July last, and
surrendered. In contempt of the te,1ns
of the proclamation, ne was arrested rs
a spy, taken to Cabanas, tried by court
martial and sentenced to death. Through
the cxertions Of Consul General Fitzhugh
Lee tli> sentence was reversed and the
lad was held for civil trial. He has Lot
been civilly tried
Is it not about time that the release OF
this American boy should be demanded

Red Cross to the Rescue.

Reports from Cuba during the past few
days compel the conclusion that not less
then 10000 peaceabe Cuhans, men,
women and children, are starving todeath
in consequence of weyler sheartless orders
If the people remain outside of the few
fortified places suu controlled by the
Spaniards, they are hunted down and
butchered by the guerilla troops If they
obey orders and come within the Spanish
towns they are allowed 10 starve.
Last week there were $500 famine
stricken Cubans in the single city OF Santa
Clara. ON weyler's arrival there the
mayor asked him If some OF the food ar
irving fer the garrison could not be dis
trIbuted among the refugees. The Hyena
replied: NO: these people must take the
consequences of rebellion against Spain. >
In yesterday edition a detailed account
was printed Of the butchery Of one hun
drea wounded Cuban soldiers and their
women nurses, captured in a military field
hospital Similar. horrors are being certi-
fled to daily. Our Government thus far
has given no sign OF interference. The
American people, therefore, should act, as
far a. they can, independently.
1t is proposed to raise a popular subscrip-
tiun in the United States for the purpose
of sending the American Red Cross Society
to the scene. and 10 furnish il with means
for mini 81 erng TO the wants of the wounded
and feeding the hungry. This movement,
which is beng actively supported III New
York by such men as Gen. Daniel E.
SickleS and Col Ethan Allen, is likely TO
lead TO q corresponding one in Washington
under the auspices of prominent ladies.
1t is a worthy awakening OF a sentiment
too long suppressed in this country. The
project is a good and noble one. 1t Will
lead to the cIystallization of national feel
ing and purpose in relation 10 Cuba. We

The Macedonian Question.

Unless Greece should sustain such a
sudden and crushing defeat as would
operate to stop the war at its outset, an
uprising of the Macedonians, which is
sure to follow a demonStration of ability
on the part Of King George to hold his own,
even for a few days, will open chapter
of intense interest and danger to all
Europe When the powers notified Greece
and Turkey that, il they started fighting,
neither party TO the conflict would be
permitted to reap any territorial or material
beuefit from the results, it did not mean
that some of the powers themselves might
not seize an advantage in case that 1t
could be managed Nowit happened thata
general instruction in Macedonia against
the Turks would at once become a matter
of the gravest moment 10 The several Of the
leading European nations III interest; par
ticularly to Russia Austria, aili England,
and equally to the Balkan States Of scrvia,
Bulgaria, and Montenegro. Servia and
Bulgaria, like Greece, claim Macedonia,
on historic grounds of former possession.
The facts regarding these several claims
recently have been stated in an article
published in the Pail Mall Gazette Briefly,
they are as follows:
t1) Macedonia was a province of the
Geek empire from the fourth to tie middle
of the fourteenth Century-tllat Is 10 say,
for nearly q THOUSAND years, WITH a sIort ,
interruption during the time OF the Bsi-
garian Car Samuel f2D Macedonia was
taken from the Greeks and annexed 10 Ser
via in the middle OF the fourteenth cen Jury
by the SerYian Car DuShan. t3l L ne
third and the greatest and the only historic
fact of practical Importance Is tiiat the
Turks conquered Macedonia after defeating
the Servian King Vukashin in 1871, and
that since that up TO the present day they
have possessed the country. To tie ques-
ton to whom Macedonia belongs histon-
caliy, the only conclusive answer could he
that it belongs To the sultan and that. after
him, the Greeks have the strongest historic
claim AT any rate, one thing is beyond all
doubt-the Bulgarians have no historic
claim on Macedonia
Notwithstanding the last statement, the
Bulgarian claim has been the one most
strenuously pressed, because ii has suited
Russia to have ii so. That power made
q strong fight for it at the Congress OF
Berlin: the principal reason being that
Russia expects some day to absorb Rul-
garia and would secure Macedonia With
it. Perhaps also, but less importantly,
because the Roruanoffs never have forgiven
Greece for holding aloof from the Russo
Turkish war of 1878, in which the
Balkan states took active part with Russia.
Aside from Russian influence and backing,
