DULL AND sPIRITLESS.
Debate on the General Arbitration
Treaty in the Senate Yesterday.

Washington, March 29.-The debate on
the arbitration treaty in the senate today
was dull and spiritless and of short dufa-
ton.
Mr.. Bacon OF Georgia spoke in favor of
such amendments to the convention as
should effectually eliminate certain queS-
tons from arbitration under the terms
OF the treaty. He thought it was eS-
sential to either adopt the amendment of
Mr.. Chiffon, which leaves the senate to
act upon and approve any and all propo-
sitionS submitted to arbitration or to
eliminate the great questions involving
the Monroe doctrine. matters of foreign or
name He denied that Lord Salisbury
would be justified in rejecting the treaty,
as was reported in some of the press dis
patches, II 1T were so amended, or If II
were made applicable TO pecuniary claims
only He would be stopped from such re-
lection by mis- own attitude when the
treaty was being negotiated, inasmuch
as he. at that time, insisted that only
such matters should be included.
Senator Turpie of Indiana followed in
ton of the treaty as it stood, with the
committee amendments which have here
tofore been agreed to. These he believed
covered every point that had been made
in criticism of the instrument and pro-
tected the United States completely.
When Mr.. Turpie had concluded, no one
else cared to speak. and the senate adj
journed. The vote on the various amend
mentS that have been offered will be
taken Wednesday afternoon, and if any
amendments are subsequently offered,
the vote on them is to be taken the next
day at o'clock. After that. no amend
ments are to be received. and the debate
will be directed against the treaty as
amended by these votes. The chairman
hopes to get the final vote this week.

The Laurada,s Cargo.

New York, March BEL Porvenir,
the Cuban paper, published today for
the first time an accurate statement of
the cargo of the Laurada, which is re-
ported to have been landed in Cuba on
March q, with General Carlos Roloff,
the Cub an secretary of war and other
leaders on board. Although the war
supplies debaTked are asserted TO have
exceeded in quantity those of any other
expedition since the war began, it ap-
pears from the new list that they were
considerably less than have hitherto
been printed. The number of rifles, in
stead of being 5000, was only ISIS, and
the cartridges 2,600,0 against 5000, 000
Instead of three dynamite guns, as
stated in morning paper today, from
information purporting to have been
furnished by a Trustworthy source"
presumably the junta, there was, ac-
cording to Ell Porvenir's admission,
only one. In addition the inventory in
cludeS two HotchkiSS 12-pound cannon
and $500 cannon shots; 80 tons of dy-
Mantle, 5000 macheteS and 125 cases of
war material-that is, electric batteries,
fuses, machinery for repairing rifles.
parts of rifles, etc. There was also a
supply of clothes and medicines.
Concerning the statement in yester-
day mornings paper that General Ro-
loft, who has forfeited his bail in the
federal court here and in Baltimore,
had not sailed with the Laurada, bur
was still in this country, a member of
the junta said that General Roloff I'M
doubtedly went with the Laurada and
was now in Cuba. Il am as certain of
it," he said, ''as that 1 am sitting at
this desk"

DINGLEY BILL rs NOT A REEVE
NUE. MEASURE.
Introduced For the Purpose of Side
tracking Real and Vital Issues
Lack of Revenue Due to the De-
feat of the Income Tax.

Washington, March 29.-The Popu-
lists of the house and senate held
joint caucus this evening, at which an
address was issued, defining the posi-
ton of the peoples party on the tariff
bill. Their address declares that the
pending tariff measure in. the house is
for the purpose Of sidetracking real
and vital issues. The address further
declares that lack of revenue is not
the result of defects in the bill (the
Wilson bilD, as it was passed by con-
gress, but resulted from a decision OF
the supreme court which declared the
income tax unconstitutional The most
direct and effective method would be
to restore silver and increase the cir
culation of the medium, so as to re-
store the level of prices which existed
prior to the characterization of that
metal
They also assert in their address,
I'VE do not regard the Dingley bill as
revenue measure. 1t seems to us
designed by the Republican party to
create such tariff agitation that will
divert the attention of the people from
a misery they suffer from a contrac-
ton of money and the rule of mOnopo-
lies
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-30

Canea, March cit has been ar
ranged that a force Of Austrians shall
occupy Izzedin. the fort at which place
was attacked by insurgents yesterday,
from the heights above the town of
Suda. 1t has also been decided that
an International force shall occupy the
town of Akrotiri on the peninsula of
that name.
Each of the foreign admirals has
asked his government to send 600
j troops, in order that the insurgents
may be held in subsection.
There does not appear to be the
slightest prospect in the near future,
of any Improvement in the deplorable
situation existing throughout the is
land. On the contrary, the outlook
appears darker now than it has at any
previous time, and Moslems and Chris
tians are ready to fly at each others
threats whenever tE" opportunity &C.
ours. The conference between the for
eign admirals, or their representatives,
and the insurgent leaders appears to be
productive of no good results. Not
withstanding this, the adnirals con-
tinue their efforts TO arrive at some
understanding with the insurgents,
which will lead to their laying down
their arms and accepting the auton-
omy already proffered and refused.
The latest attempt in this direction
is the sending of the Russian consul
at this place, who is well acquainted
with the insurgent leaders. to hold an
other conference with them.
The British vice-consul at Retimo
has sent a representative here, stating
that the commander of the foreign
troops al that place requested the con-
Sular body there to invite the inSurgent
leaders in that vici y TO enter the
town to confer The turkish governor
vetoed the proposition, refusing to al
low the entry of the rebels, whereupon
1t was decided to meet the leaders at
Coube. village in the vicinity of Ret
imo, they having accepted the invita-
ton to conference. A delegation of
the insurgents arrived at Coube on
Sunday, and there awaited the coming
of the Russian consul, who had been
selected as a deputy TO represent his
colleagues The Turkish officials had
undertaken to inform the consul of the
arrival of the rebel chiefs at Coube,
but they did not do so. When the
chiefs found that the consul was not
coming, they retired. Thereupon the
Turkish soldiers fired upon the insur-
gents in the vicinity of the town, but
the latter did not reply. The Turks
then fired again, with a result that
they had not anticipated. A large
force of Infatuated rebels swarmed
down from the hills, and would prob
ably have annihilated the Moslems had
it not been for a strong detachment of
Bashi-B azouks, who were dispatched
from Retimo TO the aid of their en-
dangered co-religionists.
a general engagement took place,
which lasted until darkness rendered
further fighting useless. The Turks
then retired to the town and the in
withdrew to the hills The
losses sustained are not mentioned.
The Russian consul went alone today
to confer with the chiefs. The result |
of his efforts is not known
