a numbe of depntations went to the
palace. where they were received by the
Captain n-GeneraI. According to the Off
cial accounts they assured him that 1t was
the desire of ali the loyal inha bitants OF
the island that he should continue at the
head OF the government and carry on the
cam paign against the insurgents.
They also expressed ''confid ence that
the Madrid Government was inspired
with altogether too hig h designs for the
welfare of the country to withdraw the
illustrious chief who had subjugated the
insurrection."
Captain-GeneralW Weyler, after thanking
the deputations for their assurances, said
he had pied the command IN difficult
circumstances and without conditions.
The success of the campaign could be es-
tlmated and properly appreciated by the
country from he visible facts.
In the course of seven months four i'm
portant provinces had been nearly paci-
led. and he was confident of being able to
paclfy the two rem naming provinces at the
proper time with the forty battsIions
ready for the task.
He said he expected 10 be able to pacify
Puerto Principe and Santiago de Cuba at

When Gen eral WeyIer appeared on the
balcony of the plaza he was, according to
the official accounts, "frantically cheered"
by the crowd, after which the various pro-
cessions paraded through the principal
streets for nearly three hours, shouting
for Spain and the Queen Regent and the

The decision probably means that the
treasury officials will be frustrated in any
attempt to proceed further with the prose-
cution of those implicated in the late
smuggling ring unless they can prod uce
some new kind of evidence.
Another important feature of the de-
cision is that Judge Hanford gave the
secret work of the United States treasury
officials severe blow.
When Gee Gee was arrested by the Gov
ernment officers for unlawfully bringing
Chinese into the United States he had a
preliminary hearing before United States
Com missioner Keifer. The Government
introduced among other things a book
containing certain Chinese writing sun
posed TO be that OF the prisoner. White

that he had secured it while making a raid

Whitehead also introduced as evidence
two letters purporting to have been writ

close the inside workings of the SNUG
Cling ring. He refused 10 tell where be
got those letters, claiming that if he did
SO he would be revealing the secret work
ings OF the United States Government
The defense ctaract-riZed them as for
geries. DR.. Gardner, the Chinese inter
prefer, Said the writing in the book was
the same as that in the letters, and it was
on his testimony that the prisoner was
held to answer before the Federal Grand
Jury. The defendant sued oat writ of
ha beas corpus, and it was in answer to
that proceeding that the trial took place

Judge Hanford so held, and dismissed
the prisoner. He held that the Govern

CUBA Will SO0E TRIUMPH
Senator Davis Predicts the Early COL
lapse of Spanish fower on
the Island.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Oct. 6.-rhe Pioneer
Press will tomorrow publish a lengthy
interview with Senator Davis, chairman
of the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Re-
lations, relating to the Cuban situation.
Senator Davis doubts if any Ministry
which extended autonomy to Cuba would
be sustained by the Spanish people, or
whether it would, in any event. be ac-
cepted by Cuba, save through the influence
of our own Government with the people
of the island.
He does not favor Immediate annexation
of the islands. but is of the opinion that,
should it secure independence, its ulti.
ma te destiny is into our Union without
aggressive action on our part.
He does not apprehend war any time
with Spain over the question aud he looks
for the collapse of Spanish power in Cuba
before the close of the dry season.
He believes that while tue Instructions
of Minister Woodford were not In the n a.
ture OF an ultimatum, they were quite
possibly OF such nature as 10 produce
the recent change in the ministry in
Spain. In conclusion he says:
81 want to say this, that the United
States has throughout the last admins
tration and the present pursued a course
so forbearing that Spain has no just rea-
son 10 complain. 1he oelllgerency OF
Cuba should, in my opinion, have been
| recognized long ago.
This Government has refrained from
doing so, and has enforced our neutrality
| laws against her own citizens with the
greatest vigilance and stringency. Spain
has had every opportunity, so far as this
| Government is concerned, to win back
Cuba by coercion or negotiations, and has
failed to 90 so.
sThe moderation which the U,ited
States has displayed has been recognized
and wondered at by many of the leading
journals of England and Continental

NEW YORK. n. Y, Oct. 6.-Society is
discussing the reported engagement of
Helen Gould and Alonzo Potter, eldest
son OF the Epis eopal Bishop of the Metro
polltan See. The engagement was whis-
pered about in exclusive drawing rooms
just before the Bishop and his family went
TO the Lam beth Conference in June. and
it was understood it would be announced
Just as soon as all the mem be1s of both
families would meet after the summer va
cation. All are here now except Howard
Gould, and he is on the Canpania, which
will arrive on Friday.
Had it not been for the daIliance of
Howard amid the charms of Europe, it is
probable, gossip says, the engagement
would have been made nearly a month
ago. 1t was talked of in sets that should
know during the eason in Newport, and
now has reached the clubs. where small
talk seldom is INDUCED in.
Miss Could who is at her home in
Tarrytown, was not "at home" 10 any
one this evening" At the seehouse
where Mr.. Potter lives, orders have been
given the servants not to take either to
him or to Bishop Potter the card of any
reporter.
II u not conceived that lOnZo Potter
would take special precautions 10 avoid
inquiries in d case where his name was
mentioned as the proba bic bridegroom in
marriage with Miss Gould if the re-
port is not true. Mr.. Potter's silence is
interpreted in club circles as an admission
that he has won the heart of Miss Gould.
There is no denial to be had anywhere,
and the source from which the rumor
comes is one entirely friendly both to
Miss Gould and to Mr.. Potter.
Miss Gould had planned to visit her
sister, the Countess de Castellane, but de-
clared it off She has been a trifie less
regular, too, In her personal visitations of
| hospitals and tenements, though ner
checkbook has been as open as ever.
She is one OF Bishop Potters most en-
thusastic supporters of East-side mis-
sions, but did not limit her charity to the
denomination of her religious preference.
Miss Gould's fortune is about $40 0OO OOO
On her fathers death 1t was estimated he
bequeathed TO her in good railroad and
other securities SIS. coo, 600. In addition
he gave her his residence al 579 Fifth ave-
nue. and the beautiful abbey-like Lyud-
hurst mansion, which stands between
lrvington and Tarrytown. It's cost was
more than 81, ,000 600. The railway securi-
ties have enhanced in value and it is esti-
mated that her annual income is bout

The recital given by Mrs. Moeller's
pupils and the Ladies' Choral Society
at the Congregational Church on
Wednesday evening was the most sats-
factory work of its kind ever given
here. The chorus was splendidly train
. ed and obedient to the slightest move
of their directors hand. The solo work
was also exceedingly satisfactory, and
Mrs Moeller has every reason to be
proud of her winters work.
Walter Longbottom, whose voice has
ever been favorite with the Sacra-
mento public, surprised his audience
by the breadth and volume of tone he
has acquired during the last six months
of study. Miss Obarr, one of the most
conscientious students in Mrs. Moeller's
large class, sang beautifully Heart s
Delight" by Gilchrist. Miss Obarr' S
voice is a clear, pure and sympathetic
mezzo-soprano of fine range, and the
work done by her on this occasion
places her in the front rank of vocal
lists in this city Mrs. Longbottom
simply outdid herself. Her solo, Non
Torno'' by Rubenstein, was the gem
of the vocal numbers, and the dramatic
fire with which she rendered the beau
tiful recitative reused the audience to
an interest so intense that, to use an
old expression, you could hear a pin
drop" Mrs. Longbottom was carried
out of herself, and her glorious con-
tralto pealed forth with an intensity of
emotion that, as one lady expressed it,,
cit made the cold shivers run up and
down my back" 1t is a wonderfully
beautiful and capable organ, this voice
