INFIRM WINES ON THE TRoCHA
Weyler Pretending to be Protecting Wo-
men and Children.

Havana, April 15.-In view of the ap-
proach of the rainy season, Captain Gen
eral Weyler has ordered the erection OF
an inhrmaGy on the trocha and the ex-
tension of the military hospitals. New
hospitals will be constructed under the
supervision of the sanitary inspector gen.
eral at Trinidad, Casilda, Isabella, and
Sugua.
The Captain General has ordered the
demolition of all houses inside the cult
vation zone. This is on the theory that
Che peasants will remain at night in the
block houses and remove their families
to the towns. In this way, says General
Weyler, the regulars will not be exposed
to the risk, in case of insurgent aggres-
sion, of shooting women and children.
Five we'll known merchants have been
fined $500 each for issuing fractional
scrip without authority.
Admiral Navarro has left by the cruis-
,er Legaspi, for the north coast of the is
land. There have been skirmishes at
Placetas, Sagua, Ciego Avila and Grande
Minas, in which, according to the Of
fetal reports, the insurgents lost 1S killed.
More than sixty hats have been DESTROYED
in the district named
Carus, a police warden at Sancti Spir-
titus, has been arrested.

WEYLER'S STARTLING MOVE
SENDS SANODVAL HERE TO AR
REST PALMA AND QUEsADA.
Papers incrimnating Them Claimed
to Have Been Found on the Laurada,
Obstacles in the Way,

Philadelphia, April ia private
meeting of the Cubans and Cuban SYM
pathizers was held in this city tonight at
which it was decided to take steps to
Illustrate what the Cubans claim is the
real object of Major Juno Sandovars
visit to this city. This is said to be the
arrest of no less persons than the mem
bers Of the Cuban Junta in this country.
1t has been stated that Major SandOval
came to Philadelphia to purchase muni-
tions of war to be shipped in the regular
way to General Weyler in Cuba. Lead
ing Cubans, however assert that it is
to gather information that will eliminate
in the arrest of General Estrada Pal
ma, of New York, and General Quesada,
at Washington.
The former is the minister Of the So
called Cuban Republic and the latter
Charge dAffaires at the capital. 1t is
asserted that Major Sandoval has been
commissioned by General Weyler for this
purpose, and is known to have in his pos
session documents found on the steamer
Laurada on one of her recent trips tC
| Cuba, showing the part played by Gen
| eral Palma and Quesada in her move
meats. Should the arrest of the Junti
leaders result, and the issue be made il
court as to the liability of such a body
| there will be Il question of Jurisdiction
that will not only involve the Interstat,
Commerce laws, but also the questions o
l5elligerency and the comfy of nations.

Washington, April 15.-The navy de-

to Lieutenant Peary, the Arctic explorer
to leave the New York navy yard and
take up his station at Mare Island, Cali
fornia. Just at this moment the of
ficer's. friends and persons taking an ac-

of the bureau of yards and docks is said
TO hold that the New York navy yard,
which now employs four civil engineers,
can get along with three; wherefore it
is proposed to send Lieutenant, Peary, to
Mare Island. On the otheFt side are the

ARBITRATION HANGS FIRE.
Senator Davis Tries to Have Day Set
for Voting on the Treaty, But Senator
Morgan Objects.

Washington, April 15.--In accordance
with the previous notice Senator Davis
promptly moved an executive session Of
the Senate after the disposal of the rou-
tine morning business to-day for the
purpose of taking up the Anglo-American
arbitration treaty. Senator Davis en-
deavOred to secure a unanimous agree
ment upon q time to take a vote upon
the treaty as a whole, but in this he did
not succeed, owing to the objections
from several Senators, including Messrs.
Carter, Morgan and Mills. Senator
Carter objected to fixing a vote until
pairs for absent Senators opposed to
the treaty could be arranged ON the basis
| Of two for one. Mr.. Davis said he would
| make no objection to an arrangement
Of pairs on this basis, but urged that
| this should not be considered a valid OBJ
| lection. He also asserted that the treaty
| had been completely debated, and said
| that that with the amendments all dis
| posed of, there was no reason why a
vote should not be Immediately taken
| The objections were not withdrawn, how
ever.
The objectors stated that they had nc
purpose to unduly delay final action, and
| when the executive session concluded
after continuing about an hour and q
half, there was an understanding that
Senator Davis would renew his request
on next Monday and that then there
probably would be no objection to fixing
a date.
| The Senate also considered PROPOSE
tion advanced by Senator Mantle to have
Senator Davis's speech on the treaty ant
Senator Morgan's minority report on i
printed for the information of the publ,
but action was deferred on the suggestion
that there might be other speeches whicl
it would be desirable to print, and tha
it would be better to postpone action O.
this character until the treaty should b,
finally passed upon.

Some OF the Western roads are openly
advocating a reduction in passenger rates
to what they term an emergency basis"
The reason they give for the wish to cut
rates is that the passenger business is
dead and that some measures are rseeded
to increase the volume of traffic. The
opponents of lower fares say that if the
rates are reduced there may be trouble
in view of the Supreme Court decision
in getting the rates back to their old basis
again without taking some action that
would be illegal. They think also that
it would be most unadvisable at the pres
ent time, to reduce any rates for the rca-
son that it will give the various Legisla-
lures of the Western States an idea that
the roads can make money with the rates
at a lower point than they now are, and
that hostile legislation wiz ensue. The
advocates OF the lower rates have no
argEment to offer save that in their
opinion cheap rates will stir up traffic,
and if it once begins to move it will keep
moving, even after the rates have been
restored to their old level. There is no
chance of concerted action in rates
but as long as there is a strong element
which favors the reduction Of the rates
a general feeling of insecurity Will pre-
vail among the roads.
The general committee Of the passen-
gen agents of the Western roads which
has for two weeks been working an the
new agreement for the Association has
finished its labors. The agreement Is
practically the same as the old agreement
with the exception that it contains no
provision regarding the maintenance of
rates. There is no doubt that it will be
adopted by the executive officers prac-
tically as it stands.
