WITH TERRIBLE RESULTS.

Hunger and Disease Continue to Spread
Throughout Cuba.
HAVANA, May 2l.-Hunger and dis
ease continue to spread Owe the island
with terrible consequences. Many per-
sons die in absolute restitution, without
resources of any kind. Beri-beri has

eminent has sent food to 60 starving
French families at Santiago de Cuba.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Interest i'll
the Cuban question was focused upon
the house. The spectators who had
packed the senate, fiocked over to the
house, and the scene was that of a con-
gressional field day.
The journal having been read, Mr..
DalZell, from the committee on rules,
reported a rule for the consideration of
the senate Cuban relief resolution, the
rule providing for a vote after two
hours debate.
Mr.. Bailey thereupon endeavored TO
secure recognition to present the views
Of the minority of the committee, but
the speaker recognized Mr.. Dalzell
to demand the previous question.
There was a sharp three-cor.
nered skirmish between Speaker Reed
and Mr.. Dalzell OH n side and Mr.,
Bailey on the other, in the course OF
which Mr.. Bailey remarked that he
knew the Republicans did not intend tc
give the minority any opportunity to be
heard, but advised them to carry GU
their program with some degree of de
cency, ]whereupon he was applauded by
the galleries.
Mr.. Simpson shouted: Don't ask
for decency from that side
The proposition which Mr.. Bailey wa
attempting to present, was a substitute
for. consideration of Senator Morgan:
resolution for the recognition Of the
belligerency of the insurgents which Ii
now before the senate, after the appro
priation for relief had been disposed of
Nh. Hit rep, Ills.) replying to Mr.
Bailey in a speech on the Cuban relic
measure, stated that the object of Mr.
Bailey was to obtain political advantage
The purpose of the Republicans il
power, Mr.. Hit said, was to secur
peace in Cuba with independence.
The house unanimously passed tn
senate relief resolution after efforts hat
been exhausted to amend it by tackin,
on a belligerency clause.

April 4, 1896, is the one in which inter-
vention is suggested. After going at
length into prevailing conditions on the
island and the hopeless outlook for Span
ish success, the secretary continues:
The situation thus described Is of great
interest to the people of the United States.
They are interested in any struggle any
where for freer political institutions-but
necessarily and in special measure In a
struggle hat is raging almost In sight OF
our shores. They are Interested, as a CIV
ilized and Christian nation, in the speedy
termination of q civil strife characterized
by exceptional excuses on the part OF
both combatants. They are interested in
the non-interruption of extensive trade
relations which have been and should
continue to be of great advantage to both
countries. They are interested in the pre-
vention of that wholesale destruction of
property on the island which, ,ATaking no
discrimination between enemies and
neutrals, is utterly destroying American
investments that should be of immense
value and is utterly impoverishing
Great Numbers of American Citizens.
On all these grounds and in all these
ways the interest Of the United States in
the existing situation in Cuba yields In
extent only to that of Spain herself, and
has led many good and honest ~personsto
insist that Intervention to terminate the
conflict is the immediate and imperative
duty of the United States.
He said his purpose was not at that
time to Suggest Intervention, but that the
United States could not contemplate with
complacency another 10 Nv.rs Of Cuban
insurrection. His suggestion looking to
finding a way ito cooperate with Spain
In the immediate p~acification of the island
on such a plan as, leaving spain her
rights of sovereignty, shall yet secure to
the people of the island all u rights
and powers of local self-government as
they can reasonably ask. To that end the
United States offers and will use her good
offices at such time and in such manner
as may be deemed n q t advisable

Decision of Commissioner Hermann Will
Probably BE Announced Friday.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-The Chicago
lake front case has been decided by
Commissioner Hermann of the general
land Office, and the opinion will proba-
bly, be announced on Friday. Judge
Hermann said that his decision would
be formally filed and promulgated
through the proper bureau of the land
Office before it was made public. In fact
he said he would not make the decision
public at all, but would deliver it to the
secretary of the interior, and the re-
sponsibility of giving out the decision
will therefore rest on that official.
Judge Herman said that the expe-
rience of his predecessor, Judge Lamor-
eaux, led him to take extreme precau-
tons in this case.

MAKES INTERESTING READING

From Olney's Letter Offering
Mediation in the Cuban Matter.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-The secret
archives of the state department which
have held the consular reports on h
Cuban war from the public were par
TALLY disclosed by Senator Foraker OF
Ohio. During the past week the debate
in the senate has been pregnant with
intimations and ~innuendoes Of reports
from United States officials in Cuba
held at the state department, which, If
published, would disclose a condition on
Cuban soil which would influence pub
lie opinion in a decided manner.
The facts, therefore, which Senator
Foraker announced without stating
from whom they came created a decided
stir. Especially startling was the letter
from Secretary Olney in which this
country offered mediation to Spain and
the refusal of hat country to accept the
proffered aid.
Extract From Lees Report:
While II of the consular reports was
read without the name OF the author
being disclosed, it is stated to be q COM
munication from Consul General Lee,
which fully sets forth his idea OF the
condition that exists in Cuba. The ex-
tract was quoted as follows, 20 date be-
ing given: aa
cannot understand the truth Of the
claim that all the provinces OF the island
are pacifed except that OF Santiago de
Cuba, because there are more insurgents
under arms at this time than at any Pc
Rod since l first reached the islands, some
10 months ago, and d o not think 1t a
fair inference to draw from existing con
ditions that the war Is approaching q ter
| mination, because, in pursuance OF an
established policy, the insurgents avoid
as far as possible all serious engagements.
Will Continue Indefinitely.
The impossibility Of expelling the Span.
ish troops from this island by force OF
arms is we'll known to them and they dc
not propose to risk the lives of their mel
and the success of their cause upon one OF
more pitched battles. l conclude, there
fore, that the war will drag its weary
length along so long as the insurgents

other, with the continued result OF iuntolc
human suffering, loss of human life, TIT
murder of innocent men, women ant
children by both sides and the frightfu
havoc which disease makes In the rank
of soldiers, particularly among the a
climated Spaniards. The poverty ant
distress Of the people Is increasing and tn
loss Of property Of all sorts daily becom
Ing more enormous. No one can full,
appreciate the situation without beinI

tressed, starving women, children an

weeks, while in other points on the islam
the suffering has been proportionatel
great. ,

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEy.

Tuesday-In the case of Arthur j..
Baker against the Barnett and Record
company, to recover the sum of 1884 for
labor in building the belt conyeyer at the
Grand Trunk elevator, the jury gave the
plaintiff verdict for S212.40.
A. L. Moulton for plaintiff
Payson and Virgin for defendant.
The next case taken up was Arthur j.
Baker against w. h. Sinks, Samuel Il.
Randall and Peter f. Jennings, suit
growing out of the troubles in building
the above named belt conyeye Baker
ola1ms that when he Wac discharged by
Sinks the agent of the Barnett and Rec
ord company, lie went to the tool house
TO get his tools; that there being a lot of
the company's tools and patterns in the
house, he began to take them QUITO that
he could get at his own tools and those
OF his men. While engaged in that work
Sinks appeared and ordered Jennings
the night Waterman, and Randall the
day Waterman, to carry the tools and
patterns back into the house. Baker re-
sisted, and he claims that they assaulted
him, struck him, wrenched his arm and
then delivered him over to policeman,
and he was taken to the station, kept all
night, and put before the court the next
morning; tnat he had no counsel and by
advice of Marshal Tricky he paid fine
of So. He sues the defendant for five
hundred dollars damages
The defendants claim that Baker bav-
ing performed his work in an unskilful
and unworkmanlike manner was dis
charged by the defendant Sinks, and not
ifPd that his services were no longer re-
CURED by the Barnett and Record COM
pauy, and Sinks directed him to remove
his tools and such property as belonged
60 him fromAthe premises. Baker went to
the tool house and not only to ok his own
tools but tools and patterns belonging to
the company, and threw them out. Sinks
ordered him to stop, which he refused to
do. Then Sinks ordered Randall 10 do Ii,
whereupon Baker assaulted Randall with
his fists and struck him. Randall then
atteemptsd to arrest Baker, and not be-
ing able TO accomplish it called Jen-
nings to his assistance and they held him
until two policemen came and took him
to the station. The testimony for the
defendant was in progress when the court
adjourned.
A. F. Moulton for the plaintiff.
Payson and Virgin for the defendant
