Gen. Pando's Strong Protest.

The official report recently made by the
Spanish Minister of War, who has this
week been laid ON the shelf, concerning the
Spanish military forces employed for the
suppression of the Cuban rebellion, has
been brought under review by a soldier of
distinction, Gen. PANDo, in H Ejercito
Espahol. Gen. PANDo's language is plain.
He declares that, in addition to the 200. 900
regular troops sent from Spain to Cuba
within two years., there have been engaged
in service against the rebels not less than
1OO,O 900 irregulars, volunteers, and guerril-
las, so that, as he says, " the army in Cuba
at one time exceeded 100000 men," AS
Gen. PANDo, who Is a member of the SEN
ate, has access to the official records, it is
probable that his astounding statement is
derived from them, more especially as
he has published it, under his own
name, in the military organ printed at
Madrid. Gen. PANDo is unable to explain
how 1t has happened that, soon after the
expeditionary forces landed in Cuba, so
many of the men disappeared, but he makes
charges against WEYLER which are almost
as scandalous as those which the Cubans
have brought against him. AZ would be
guilty of criminal negligence If I did not
publicly protest against what is going on
In Cuba"
When e PANDo was called to account
for his language by a member of the late
Ministry, he replied that as n Senator he
had a right to make the truth in the case
known to the country. 81 do not under
stand why my words have aroused the wrath
of the Government. / have often spoken in
the same way to SAGAsTA and AZCARRAGA,
as also to the Queen Regent; but I was al.
ways told that nothing could be lone so long
as WEYLER was Captain-G General of Cuba"
Gen. PANDo warns the Government
against sending any more reinforcements
to the Spanish army in Cuba. 1.-THE Gov
eminent is preparing to make new sacri-
fees; but it would be folly. in my opinion,
to send one more soldier to Cuba. A war
that has devoured 200, 900 men will not be
brought to an end by shipping 10000 or
10000 more men. The sending of further
reinforcements to Cuba would be a crime. -
The General next outlines n policy of
pacifcation for Cuba; but, in our opinion,
the time for the execution of such a policy
rs he suggests has gone by.

mails of Madrid, La Corespondencia de Els.

England and the Seal Conference

The London statement that England will
to which Russia and Japan lave been
invited, points to an awkward situation,
and it remains to be seen whether such a
decision, If adhered to, is not against her
real interests.
To begin with, it risks offending those
two countries to decline to attend the party
because they also are invited. One effect
of this ungracious course might be to range
them on the side of the United States in
future aspects of the seal question.
But more important is the consideration
hat their presence would make assent to
our views easier. Lord SALISBURY is
continually dashed by a part of the British
press for giving up to foreign demands, and
his yielding in the Venezuelan boundary
business was a bitter pill. If he should
give up to us also in the fur seal con-
troversy, he would be mercilessly scored.
And yet how can he help giving up I!
The evidence gathered by our experts
this year is said to be very strong, and
even the British experts are reported to
have found the seal herd in bad condi-
ton. The small catch of the British YES
sells this year tells the same story. If Lord
SALISBURY should reject our request to
modify the Paris rules, after this evidence,
he would risk u serious quarrel, which
might lead Congress to radical steps, such
as hat of killing all the seals on the
islands, thereby destroying the pelaglc
hunting as well.
But a yielding to three nations interested
in this same business should bring no re.
proach for Lord SALISBURY. The real
trouble of the imperial Government is,

TURNED THE HOSE ON THEM
How Illinois Woodmen Saved Their
Records.

Fulton, ILL.,, Feb. 1S.-A sensational
encounter ensued today from decision
of the appellate court in an injunction
case as to the removal Of the Office of
the head clerk of the Modern Woodmen
Of America from this place to Rock
Island, ILL.,, the court decided adversely
to Fulton.
Before daylight today over sixty Rock
islanders, including Mayor Knox, w.
]. Egan and John Rinck, arrived on
special train, went to the Woodmen's
Office and seized the records. The citi-
zens and police demonstrated without
avail. Then the fire department turned
out, closed the rear entrance of the
building with stream of water and
locked the front entrance, trapping the
Rock islanders. They chopped the door
down, but the firemen drove them back.
They were prisoners for two hours, and
were finally forced to restore the records
to the Office.
Meanwhile an injunction had been
secured and the train was held. The
unwelcome visitors were at length al
lowed to depart, crestfallen. The board
of directors Of the Woodmen, who are
in session here, and the head clerk, it
is alleged, are implicated in the affair.
Several hand-to-hand encounters oc-
CURED. Fulton will appeal the case to
the supreme court. A receivership may
be asked for the order.

today addressed the following letter in
behalf of the Indian war veterans, to
Speaker Reed, of the national house of
representatives:
ION behalf Of the veterans of the In
dian war Of 1866, in Oregon and Wash
ington, I have the honor to request your
kindly Offices in bringing to considers
ton in the house of representatives the
favorably reported senate bill for the re-
lief Of these veterans. Their services
to the nation and to civilization were
great indeed, and recognition has too
long been deferred. II you have time
to consider measure whose merit and
Justice seem to me beyond any doubt,
full information about it would be
promptly supplied by Oregon's repre-
sentatives in congress. =
The effort being made to secure PEN
sions for Indian war veterans is in
recognition Of services rendered and
property to the amount Of $6.011 ,459
furnished in putting down the natives
during the Yakima and Rogue river
wars.
A memorial to congress, asking for :
recognition Of the Oregon and Washing
ton citizens who took part in these
wars, was adopted by the last legisla-
ture. The memorial also mentioned
the services rendered by local citizens
during the Cayuse war, asking that they

CHANDLER SARCASTIC.
Three Hour Speech In Advocacy Of
BimetAlism.

0AA0WoAAD"s
Washington, Feb. 49, Senator
Chambers speech in the senate today
in advocacy of bimetalism was one of
the notable efforts of the present SEES
sion, not only for the care with which
the senator presented the question from
his standpoint, but for the bitter sar-
casm addressed to Senator Palmer and
the Indianapolis convention, the arraign-
ment of silver Republicans who bolted
the St. Louis convention, and for the
dramatic personal exchange between
Chandler and Pettigrew, the latter be-
ing one of the boilers from the st.
Louis convention. Chambers speech
lasted three hours, and was replete with
incident. It was an argument against
a single standard of either metal, gold
or silver, and warning against pol
icy Of monometalism. Then the sena-
tor turned to the political phases Of the
question, speaking in turn of Bryan,
Palmer and Mckinley. Palmer sat
across the aisle and was frequently adj
dressed by the speaker as one who had
contributed to the election of Mckinley.
The controversy between Chandler and
Pettigrew was one Of the hottest per-
sonal episodes the senate had has in a
long time, the South Dakota senator
declaring that Chandler's statement as
to the violation Of pledges at st. Louis
was wholly false. Chandler did not
modify his statement, but mutual ex-
plantations restored cordial relations.
The peroration Of Chandler was an ap-
peal to the incoming president and his
advisers to heed the needs of the peo-
pie, particularly On the money ques-
ton, and warning Of speedy political
disaster certain to follow delay.

ANNEXATION OF CRETE.
Has Been Accomplished by Greece With
Consent OF Powers.

Athens, Feb. 18.-It is generally be-
lieved here that the Cretan feature of
the Eastern question is now thing of
the past, and the landing of the Greek
troops at Crete is not likely to turn out
a casus belli between Turkey and
Greece.
The absolute decision of Greece to
persist in the occupation of Crete and
protection of Christians on that island,
in spite of the attitude of the powers, is
founded on the declaration Of the Gre
tans that they are prepared to shed the
last drop Of their blood in order to at
tain their national aspirations, to which
they add that they will not be satisfied
with anything short of an absolute
union with Greece. These circum-
stances were communicated by Greece
to the powers and the policy of the
Greek government has been carried out
in every point.
