TRACEY TALKS.
SAYS THE ARBITRATION TREATY
Is A SELL OUT.
That it Provides For Submitting the
Monroe Doctrine to the Decision
Of European Monarch.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE World this
morning says:
Gen. Benjamin F. Tracey, formerly
secretary of the navy, when asked his
views on the arbitration treaty last
night, said:
when the signing of this treaty was
announced I thought it one of the great
est triumphs, diplomacy had ever
achieved. But since reading with
more careful purports to be the text
of the treaty I am led to doubt wheth-
er we do not by this treaty agree to
submit to the arbitration of a Europe
an monarch the whole question of the
Monroe doctrine and our right to en-
force it.
BY article l, it is provided that the
high contracting parties agree to sub
NIT to arbitration in accordance with
the provisions of this treaty, all ques-
tiOns in difference between them which
they may fail to adjust by diplomatic
negotiations.
Secretary Olney is reported as de-
claring that by this treaty England has
recognized and affirmed the Monroe
doctrine. I fail to find any language
in this treaty which justies any such
inference; on the contrary it seems
clear that if this treaty is ratified the
u. S. binds itself to submit to arbitra-
ton it's rights to enforce the Monroe
doctrine as against England.
IF Spain in her distress should sell
Cuba to England, 1 am unable to see
why article 8 does not expressly pro-
vide that our right to exclude her from
The control and enjoyment of the ter
ritory claimed under such purchase.
is not to be submitted to arbitration.
THE language of article 9, whether
so intended or not, would seem to fit
and provide for the exact situation
that would exist under those circum-
stances.
Certainly if England should pur-
chase either Cuba or st. Thomas her
right to have access to control and en-
joy the territory thus purchased would
constitute a Territorial claim within
the meaning of the language used in
article 9.
"Under the language of this treaty
the United States could not refuse to
dTDltrdte EHSldnu TlSnt 10 occupy lHe
territory thus acquired by purchase
without being guilty of a breach Of
this treaty.
Nor could we resist the forcible oc-
cupation of the territory Of any of the
numerous South American states made
by England under the claim of right.
All such questions must under this
treaty be submitted to arbitration"

INSURANCE MUSS.
BROADWAY FIRE INSURANCE IN
THE COURTS.
The Detectives Hold the Fort and E.
O. Williams Has the Drop on
The Old Directors.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Press said
this morning:
Fifteen private detectives are occu-
plying ground floor office at No. 63 E.
William street, the headquarters of
the Broadway Fire Insurance company
The affairs of this company are in
the courts and there is a bitter fight
among the stockholders for the poses
sioE of the business of the concern.
Late last night, the detectives, who
say they are acting under an order
from the Supreme court, took possess
sion of the offices and said they pro-
posed to stay there indefinitely.
The annual election was held in an
other room in the Senate building and
Z. c. Jameson, president of the Globe
Fire Insurance company, said that A.
400 shares out of a total of 5000 were
voted, resulting in the election of u
new directors and the reelection of
of the old directors.
A few days ago the Globe Fire In
surance company, had considerable
newspaper nOtoriety on account of the
report of the representative of the
Ohio insurance company department,
regarding the methods of business en-
ployed by the company. That con-
Germ, as we'll as the Broadway Fire In
surance company is controlled by the
firm Of Jameson and Freilinghuisen.
f. C. Jameson, of the firm, said:
THE contention regarding the bust
ness of the Broadway Fire Insurance
company is now in the courts. We
have been buying up the stock of the
company for some time and now con-
troll a majority of it. When this was
discovered by the directors whose
terms expired today they made a new
contract to reinsure all the risks of
the Broadway with the Hartford Fire
Insurance company.

CULBERSON'S MESSAGE,
INSURANCE COMPANIES MUST IN
VEST THEIR EARNINGS.
General Assignment Law will be Big
Factor-He Favors Abolition Of Pre-
ferred Creditors Clause.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 14.-Special.-
Governor Culberson sent his message
to both houses of the legislature to-
day. He says that the laws passed by
the last legislature have operated to
the benfit of the state materially; that
all public schools and educational in
dustries of the state are in a flourish
ing condition.
Among the most important measures
touched on in his recommendations
are the platform demands requiring
express companies to maintain a gen.
eral office in this state, also a propos-
ton to make life insurance companies
doing business in the state invest at
least half their receipts from this state
in investments here. Under this head
the governor attacks the life insurance
companies hard, accusing them of all
manner of fraud in securing money
from the people.
Touching on the general assignment
law, which will be a great item in the
session, the governor places himself
on record as favoring an abolition of
the preferred creditors clause, saying
no ends will justify such means as
naming preferred creditors.

THE RED CROSS WILLING.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE American
National Red Cross Association Of
ficially rendered its services to Cuba,
through it's president, a month ago,
and later Miss Clara Barton, the pres
ident, offered the individual services of
herself and assistants, as in the relief
expedition to Turkey, the two neces-
sary conditions being that acceptance
and entry be afforded by the Spanish
government, and that the funds need
ed to supply such relief is provided,
as was the case in Armenia, by the
American people. Up to the present
time not dollar of contributions from
any source has been offered, and the
Spanish government is still holding the
Red Cross proposition under advise
ment.

WAS GLAD TO SEE HIM.

His Face Was Familiar But Buck
Giddings Couldn't Place Him.
Captain Frank Roberts received a
telegram this morning from Denton,
Texas, informing him that a man in
a dark suit of clothes, black shirt and
black moustache would arrive in San
Antonio on this mornings Internation-
al train from the north. The telegram
stated that the mans name is Buck
Giddinss and that he is wanted in
Denton on a charge of seduction.
Captain Roberts went out to the depot
and when the south bound train pull
ed in he noticed man get off who an
swered the description, except that he
had a light moustache instead of black.
The captain, however, did not let the
moustache throw him off the track,
and going up to the man with a black
shirt. slapped him on the back, and
said,
why, hello, Buck, am glad to see
you"
"weIl, now, your face is familiar,
but I'll swear can't place you"
No further explanation was, neces-
sary. He was the man, and Captain
Roberts told him who he was and what
he was wanted for. He took him to
the city Jail, where he will be held I'M
ill an officer arrives from Denton.
The man is of respectable appearance
and the girl he is charged with having
seduced is said to be of a very good
family of Denton. It is believed he
was on his way to Mexico.

ed, after-dark skates, is likely to be
blotted off the turf map at an early

To Feed A Houston Woman Who VIII
Try to Guido Oofty Goofty.
Houston, Texas. Jan. H.-Special.-
The gastronomic feat of Oofty Goofty
at Dallas has created a rivalry in this
city, but this Oofty is woman. Her
name is Sarah Williams. She is
single woman and has many personal
charms to attract the male eye. She
has money, too: all kinds Of money. it
is said. But notwithstanding her
charms and attractions. Ter matrimon-
ial chances will dwindle down INTO the
infinitesimal if she succeeds in what
she proposes doing, which is nothing
more nor less than eating 20 quail,one
each day. She will commence on the
morning of Jan. 20. and will eat one
quail each day until the season closes,
which is on March 81. She Is not do
ing this on a wager but just to hack
up an assertion that eating lone quail
each cay is nothing"

OLNEY'S TREATY.
HE AND DE LONE HAVE FIXED
1T ALL UP.
Cuba is to Come in Under Spain
And Grover Cleveland and
0lney Glorifed.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE World pub
fishes a dispatch from Washington
that the agreement between the U. S.
and Spain regarding the terms to be
granted to the Cuban insurgents was
practically concluded today.
There are to be three parties to the
agreement, Spain, the insurgents and
the U. S. There are still minor details
to be arranged and these may occupy
at least 10 days more. By the end
OF January, however, the terms will
be complete. They will then be laid
before Congress and promulgated in
Madrid and at Havana. The propos-
ed treaty of capitulation proposes:
The political, organic and admins
trative reforms contained in the re-
form law of March %, 1895, with all the
amendments agreed to between the
U. S. and the legal representatives of
the Cuban revolutionists and the gov
eminent of Spain, shall be Immediately
established in Cuba.
Free pardon for all political offenses
committed from 1868 to date
Every individual who, by virtue of
this capitulation may wish to depart
from the island shall be permitted to
do so. 1t is the expectation that Gen.
Maxine Gomez, with a committee of
other Cuban leaders, will meet the rep
resentatives of Spain at a time and
place yet to be appointed and sign the
treaty.
While it is limited at the Spanish le-
cation and substantially corroborated
at the state department, that General
Gomez has promised to lay down his
arms in the event of the United States
being in a moral sense guarantor of
standing between the insurgents and
these conditions, a preliminary under
standing between the insurgents and
the U. s. is not yet definitely settled.
Spain clings to her old position Of
debating her own terms and absolute
~ forming her own policy.
New York, Jan. IA special from
Washington to the World says:
In pursuance to the agreement be-
tween Secretary Olney and Premier
Canovas for the settlement of the Gu
ban trouble, Capt. Gen. Weyler is to be
recalled and replaced by Gen. Emilio
Callajeo before March l.
Senior De LONE will receive the high
est honrs his government can bestow
in recognition of his services in the
settlement He will be decorated by
the Queen Regent.
A magnificent gold cross is already
cast to commemorate his diplomatic
achievements and will be publicly pre-
scented him by the Queen Regent if he
chooses to return to Europe. If he de-
sires to remain here it will sent by a
special envoy. 1t is already predicted
that Senior De LONE will become pre-
mier of Spain.
The most important of the reforms to
be granted to Cuba is that property
qualifications for voters are wiped out.
Every citizen of Cuba who has not
been convicted of felinous crime, or
who is not a pauper living on public
charity, is given the right to vote. A
certain educational test will be ap-
piled to keep the coolies from voting
