HENRY DELGADO DEAD.

Havana, Jan. 20.-Dr. Burgess in
forms the correspondent OF the Associa-
ted Press that Henry Delgado, CORE
spondent Of the Mail and Express of New
York, and an American citizen whose
residence is at Hudson, N. Y, died last
night. General Fitzhugh Lee had inter
ested himself to the utmost in the case
of the unfortunate. Delgado was cap
tured by the Spaniards while he was
lying i'll in an insurgent hospital in the
province OF Pinar del Rio in December
last. From that place he was brought
to San Ambrosio hospital in this city,
which is set apart for political prisoners.
At the request of General Fitzhugh
Lee, the Marquis Ahumada, acting as
Captain General during the absence of
General Weyler, has ordered the military
governor of Havana, General Porua,
to place the remains of Henry Delgado
at the disposal of the United States Con
sui General. The latter cabled to Wash
ington this morning asking if the fam
lily of Mr.. Delgado desire his body sent
to New York. Pending the receipt of an
answer, the body will probably be EN-
balmed.

NO TRUTH IN Tho REPORT.
There Will be no Duel Between Gen
eral Lee and Mr. Money.

Havana, Jan. 20.-General Lee, Uni
ted States Consul General, alluded to-day
to the sensational reports circulated in
the United States that duel was proba-
tle between Congressman Money and
himself on account of statements made
of the conversations had with the General
while here.
The Consul General says that such a
story is ridiculous.
Money and had belly full of fight
ing in the late war" AT the time OF Mon
ey's departure General Lee expressed his
pleasure that he had personally visited
Cuba and talked freely with him, but
says that he sent no message to Secretary
Olney.
The friends of Henry Delgado, the
New York Mail and Express correspon-
dent, who died here to-day, are endeavOr-
ing to arrange for the transportation OF
his body to the United States.
Captain General Weyler arrived yester-
day at San Jose De Lajas, Havana pro
vince. Several skfrmishes have occurred
in the provinces OF Santa Clara and
AIatanzas. A Spanish column has des
troyed several camps, and the insurgents
left 27 killed, among them being a Cap
tain. Three prisoners were also taken and
fire arms. During the last three days
seventeen insurgents have surrendered
with their arms.

for securing the votes OF sixteen men of
a party holding directly antagonistic
views to those of Senator Pritchards
party, made a condition that has put
faint upon his titie that will never be
erased
Criticizing, and justly criticizing Mr..
Pritchards "rotatory" Ito quote an apt
expression from Mr.. Cathey) course on
silver; condemning, and justly condemn
ing, his subservience to corporation intiu-
cnce; and earnestly desiring his defeat
because in these two particulars he does
not represent the true interests and the
will Of the people of North Carolina, we
still confess to n feeling that Senator
Pritchard will in many ways prove the
best representative who could have been
chosen among Republicans for the high
position. There are no silver Republi-
cans. except those of the Teller school,
who repudiated Mckinley: therefore if
Republican was to be chosen, Mr. Pritch-
ard is the best the party could present.
1t is to be hoped now that he has been
selected to the United States. Senate,
Mr.. Pritchard will represent the people
and not the corporations. If he will do
this, the Republicans had no man so
deserving.
The elevation of Mr. Pritchard proves
that in this Republic the avenues to the
highest stations are still open to the hum
blest youth of the land. Mr.. Pritchard
has struggled from direst poverty to his
present high position. He had nothing
but his own right arm and his own deter
mination as his capital when poor boy
he crossed the mountains from East Ten
nessee to seek support as devil in
country printing office. Upon this CAPT
tai he has builded successfully, and hard
is the heart that can withhold admira-
tion for the man who has conquered ad-
verse conditions and risen to be the first
man in his party. 1t will be a sad day
for the Republic when men Of such hum
BILE origin as Jeter Conley Pritchard do
not have an equal opportunity OF attain
ing the highest station.
Differing from him widely, and regard
ing the ascendency of his policies as
hurtful to the masses of the people, we
nevertheless admire his pluck, his deter
mination, and his courageous and wise
leadership of his party.

Lieut.. Gov. Reynolds should have
lived up to his agreement with Mr..
Doughton. despite the demands of the
hungry Senators, but as he did not do so
the manly thing to do now would be to
make amends as far as possible for this
bread of faith-to insist upon the re-
appointment of the discharged boys, if
within his province to do so. If not, then
he should provide the boys with enough
money to take them to their homes. The

NO DELAYS ARE EXPECTED
Foreclosure Suit Against the Union Pacific
Road Will Be Pushed.
CASE MAY BE CLOSED IN EIGHT MONTHS
Special Counsel Gown for the Govcrn-
mcnt aud General Solicitor Kelly
for the Union Pacific Talk
About the Case.

General John C. Gown. SPECIAL counsel
for the government in the Union Pacific
foreclosure suit, returned to his home in
this city yesterday. Since Friday he had
been in st. Louis, where he secured from
Judge sanborp the bill in equity calling for
the foreclosure of the governments second
mortgage on the Union Pacific and Kansas
Pacific railways.
Asked by Bee reporter the time of tho
foreclosure sales, General Gown replied:
That is almost impossible to state. The
desire of the government is to proceed in
as expeditions manner as possible until
the foreclosure shall be consummated. No
unnecessary time will be lost But the date
of the sales will altogether depend on the
appearance or non-appearance of contending
factions. 1t is possible that there may be
some contention over the Omaha Council
Bluffs bridge lien If so, that will delay
matters somewhat. Should there be no con-
tention-and it's mere guess work to say
whether there will or will not belt is my
opinion that the roads will be foreclosed
ana the entire matter settled by this
spring.
DO you think, General Gown, that it will
be during the life of the present admins
tration?"
1t scarcely probable YoL see there are only
about forty days more in that time, and
everything necessary to the final settlement
can hardly be done in that time
Where will the foreclosure sales take
place?"
THAT is also uncertain. The matter,
believe. has not yet been decided. There Is
a disposition, however, on the part of Judge
Sanborn to consolidate these sales as much
as possible. There will probably be an
agreement made later between all the inter-
| csted parties concerning the places of sale.
| The sale of the main line of the Union Pa
| ciic will undoubtedly occur here in Omaha,
! while that Of the Kansas Pacific will be sep
| arate and will probably take place some
| where in Kansas"
Have the bills for the foreclosure of the
| Kansas Pacific yet been filed?"
| mo, they have not | think they will be
| filed some time during the coming week.
| Bills of equity for the foreclosure of the
| Kansas Pacific will be filed in both Missouri
and Kansas"

held with the Spanish troops. Hervey has
received a shot through the left arm. They
are preparing a report for Senator Cameron
which Will be forwarded to Washington
In few days, The Cubans are not In want

while the Spanards and volunteers number

the nature of guerrilla warfare and both
sides are Systematically burning planta-
tions and the country will be reduced tn

favored by Mckinley and expect immediately
on MS Inauguration he will recognize their

Hervey gives graphic account of the
capture of Santa Clara by the insurgents,
where the utmost gallantry was displayed

Solicitor Kelly Thinks Nothing Can
Now stop Foreclosure Proceedings.
Judge william r. Kelly, general solicitor
of tho Union Pacific, returned from st.
Louis in company with General Gown. yes
terday. In conversation with Bee re-
porter last evening ne said that the an
swers of the trustees of all the mortgages
parties to the government bill would be
prepared at once and would be filed here
by March 1. He spid that bills of foreclosure
similar to the one filed here on Saturday
would be filed in Iowa, Utah and Wyo-
ming, and that bills of foreclosure for the
governments lien on the Kansas Pacific
would be filed within the next few days at
Topeka, Kan, and at Denver Colo
In reply to question concerning the time
Of foreclosure, Judge Kelly added II think
it may be considered an assured fact that
the Union Pacific will go out from the
hands of the receivers during the present
year. ] should say that within seven or
eight months all the necessary details will
be attended to and the receivership ter
minated This talk about the matter being
settled up in ninety days is rather fanciful, 1
think"
"Is it possible, Judge Kelly, that any OBJ
stacle might now be intruded by other par
ties to block the foreclosure sale?"
81 really don't know"
"Is it probable?"
81 will say that 1 can't see how anything
could now be done to prevent the foreclos-
ure by the government. The government
has moved in the matter, the funding bill
has been defeated, so l cant see where any
obstacle could now come in.
Judge Kelly declined to discuss the prob
able operation or management of the road
under the reorganization committee should
that combination prove TO be the purchaser.
He said the sale OF the road to the reorgan-
ization committee was not assured, but that
the committee had promised the government
to bid certain amount for the property II
1t were put up for sale Should there be
higher bidder he would secure the road.
81 heard a most prominent hnancier say
yesterday" added Judge Kelly, that the
government has found somebody who wants
the property. and is willing to pay for It,"
That Is a great deal better than getting
somebody who doesn't want It, and who is
| unwilling to pay for it. The offer of the
reorganization committee Is to pay 60 per
cent of the roads debt to the government, or
the prlhcipal debt, and 3.6 per cent OF the
| interest from the time the government first
| paid out its money. The committee EVIL
| IDENTIFY values the property highly. II has
shown evidence of its intention by Il deposit
| OF "a 500 600 ] have heard surprise ex-
| pressed that a purchaser for the road who
| would offer so much money for 1t could be
