UNION PACIFIC rORECLOsuaR
The Sale wiz He Postponed Until Aftsl
Congress Meets.

Congress Meets,
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.--The Union Pa
clfc reorganization committee made
the following statement:
The attorney general has notified this
committee that he proposes TO ask the
court for an adjournment OF the fore
closure sales OF the Kansas Pacific and
Union Pacific railway property TO De-
cember Is, so as TO postpone final action
until after Congress shall have met.
This action IA no doubt taken to free
the administration from embarrass-
ment.
The reorganization committee has,
however, reached the conclusion that
the interest OF the security holders, rep
resented by H. and OF the syndicate fur
'nishing the funds to finance the reor-
ganiZation, demand reorganization
without any further delay. In this sit
uatlon the committee contemplates,s 80 az
to gain prompt possession OF the Union
Pacific line, TO oppose any adjournment
OF the sale OF the main line and to bid 1t
in, II need be, for the full amount OF the
governments claim, the additional sum
Involved In this being twelve million
dollars.
As to the Kansas lines, the foreclos-
ure OF the first liens upon the subsidized
division Of the Kansaa Pacific railway
will be energetically pressed and when
these foreclosures shall have been ac-
compiished, the reorganization OF the
Kansas Pacific lines will be completed
as claimed.
Allotments made under the plans to
Kansas Pacific holders and amounting
10 about fifteen million dollars In new
bonds and twenty millions in preferred
stock will remain reserved for the re-
organization of the Kansas line.
The amount OF new first mortgage
bonds to be issued for the purpose of tho
reorganization of the Union Pacific
main linewlll not exceed seventy million
dollars, and of preferred stock fifty-fiye
million dollars.
No change in the plan Of reorganiza-
ton is involved In the foregoing.

MADRID. oct. 25.-A dispatch Just
received here from Havana has caused
considerable stir in political circles. 1t
declares that the opponents Of auton-
omy are seeking to create difficulties
for Marshal Blanco, who succeeds Gen.
weyfer as captain general OF Cuba, add
ing that the situation in the island Ia
the same as It was six months ago.
The dispatch further states that the
military operations of the Spaniards
are suspended; that troops are solely
employed in guarding the railroads and
that 1t is estimated that 10000 soldiers
are on the sick list. Finally the dis
patch asserts that the Spanish govern
ment has cabled Gen. Weyler, the re-
firing captain general Of Cuba, In
structinE him to await the arrival Of his
successor, Marshal Blanco, before en-
barking on his return TO Spain.
The dispatch says that the financial
situation In Cuba Is fFightful; that
commerce Ia paralyzed and that the
autonomist committee is not In accord
with the members Of the autonomfst
party.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Tt Is doubt
ed among officials that the basis OF the
Spanish reply to Mr.. Woodtord's note
would be the charge that the United
States had not observed the require
ments of the international law in the
matter OF preventing tilibustering. In
this case the state department will have
some pertinent facts to present, which,
its officials believe. will completely
ALLEVIATE from Spain any sympathy she
may have attracted from other Euro
pean nations on that score. 1t Is as
serted positively that in no single case
where the Spanish authorities have
brought to the attention of our govern-
ment the fact that an Illegal expedl-
ton was about to start from our shores
for Cuba has 1t neglected to use all the
means permitted by our laws to prevent
the start.
one official roughly estimated the ex-
pense the United States has been put to
TO protect the Cuban coast for Spain at
about $2,668,009. This Is probably n
large estimate, but one naval officer
who is thoroughly cognizant of the
strain put upon the department by the
patrol, stated that It would really be
cheaper for the United States to send
fleet to Cuba and blockade the coast
there against incoming fillbusters, than
to try to stop them on our own extern
sive coast line.
Up to the close OF office hours to-day
Spaln's reply on the Cuban question
had not reached the President or state
department. It was stated also in other
quarters, by those in a position 10 know
what had occurred at Madrid, that the
answer had not been delivered 10 Min
lister woodford up to to-day. 1t has
been approved by the cabinet, however,
and is to be communicated to Minister
woodford late to-day or tomorrow.

CONGRESS AND INDIA FAMINE
The Tariff Question Projected Into
Relief Measure.

Washington, April 3-There was a brief
session of the house today, followed by an
adjournment to next Wednesday, in pur-
suance of the policy which has been de-
teimined upon. The only business trans
acted was the adoption of the senate reso-
luton providing for chartering a vessel
to carry food to the famine sufferers of
India. Incidentally, Mr.. McMillin of Ten
nessee suggested an amendment condemn
ing England's national policy.
After the usual routine business James
Hamilton Lewis, "A democratic member
elect from the state of Washington. was
escorted to the bar of the house and took
the oath of office.
The joint resolution from the senate
providing for chartering a vessel to carry
food to the famine sufferers of India was
called up by Mr.. Grout.
Mr.. McMillin said that he did not want
to stand in the way of charity, but this
was a time for plain talk, when, he de-
cared, 1.-THE sad spectacle is presented of
the United States having to contribute
charity to the starving subjects of Great
Britain in one part of the world, while
she is bombarding suffering Christians in

While Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts
contended that ireland was prosperous

towards the same goal.

Circular In support OF Carter Harri-
son Raises a Stir.

Chicago, April 2.--Chief Consul Patee OF
the Illinois division of the League of
American Wheelmen has demanded of
President Potter that George K. Barrett,
who got out political circular intended
to pledge the American Wheelmen's vote
to Carter Harrison for mayor of Chi
cago be suspended.
In answer to an Evening Post telegram
Mr. Potter says: "a member of the
league may be disciplined or expelled only
when guilty of conduct prejudicial to the
interests of the organization. The wheel
men of Illinois are seeking to elect pub
lie officers who will not be corrupted by
railroad influences and as 1 understand
the situation. they have gone into poll
tics for the purpose. The League of
American Wheelmen will support the cy-
clists of Illinois, and will look to them
to set an example in their efforts for
wheelmen's rights and better roads which
other states may profitably emulate.
Late this afternoon the L. A. w. leaders
in this city went into executive session.
Many of the wheelmen present repudl-
ated the Barrett circular, and the meet
ing issued a counter-circular, which is
virtually an Endorsement of the republic
an candidate for mayor.

Havana, April 2.-Dispatches from
Cienfugos, province of Santa Clara, an
nounce that Captain General Weyler has
ordered the arrest and Imprisonment of
the chief of police Senor Merina, several
police inspectors and 35 other persons.
1t appears that the captain general, while
visiting the marine hospital, which con-
tanned 20 patients, made inquiries which
elected the admission that the rations
were of poorer quality than those serv-
ed in the military hospital, where there
are 300 patients.

and the Spanish military authorities be-
lieve that the line of forts stretching
across the part of the island has so re-
strained the movements of the insurgents
that nothing is left to the latter but to
escape by sea in a boat.
