IMMIGRATION CONFERENCE.
House and Senate Members Apart in
Their Ideas.

House and Senate Members Apart In
Their Ideas.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The house
and senate conferees on the immgra-
tion bill are meeting with several
knOtty problems in their attempts to
settle the differences between the two
houses Chairman Bartholdt of the
house committee is the most deter
mined opponent of some of the most
stringent features of the proposed legis-
lation. Mr.. Bartholdt says that unless
the feature of the bill which makes the
educational test apply to both men and
women, and which, he thinks, would,
if enforced, result in the separation of
families, is omitted, he will be COM
PEELED to oppose the bill in the house.
He has proposed in conference to
amend the bill by exempting women
from that test Another amendment
which he proposes is to require that the
immigrants shall be able to read and
write the English or any other Ian.
guage instead of the English or Their
own language.

The Spanish Gunboat Relampago
Sunk by the Cuban In
surgentS.
Commander and Others Killed.
Nearly All the Crew
Wounded.
Decision in the Three Friends
Case of Great Value to
Insurgents.

HAVANA, Jan. 20. - The gunboats
Centinela and Relampago left Manzan-
lilo on the night Of Jan. 16 with the
object of going up the river Cauto to
Fort Guamo, in compliance with the
orders Of General Bosch. At 10 o'clock
on the morning of Jan. II both gun
boats were near Mango Landing when
an explosion of q torpedo, which had
been well placed III the river, sank the
Relampago. Those of the crew who
survived swan toward shore, but were
fired on from the banks. At this criti-
cal moment boat was launched from
the Centinela and nearly all of the
crew still in the water were rescued.
In view of the instructions and the
fact that the commander Of the
Centinela and nearly all of the crews Of
both gunboats had been seriously
wounded, the expedition had to return
to ManZanillo. Six Of the officers and
crew of the Relampago were killed out
right and all the rest received wounds
of more or less>severity. On the gun
boat Centinela the commander, Senor
Puerta, was seriously wounded and one
OF the crew was killed.
When the gunboat struck the tor
pedo there was no time to lower boat.
and almost before the extent of the dis
aster could be realized. the vessel went
down.
Those on board Of her who were not
injured jumped into the water and
made their way the best way they
could in the direction of the Centinela,
aboard Of which the greatest excite
menJ prevailed.
AS soon as it was seen that that the
Relampago was sinking, the Centinela' s
boats were ordered away to assist in
the rescue of the crew of the former.
The rebels appeared to be in strong
force along the banks of the river, and
when they Saw the Spaniards i'll the
water, they directed a heavy rife fire
| upon them. The Centinela opened fire
! upon the rebels, but as they could not
| be seen, and their positions could only
be discovered by the smoke from their
| guns, it was not believed that serious
| losses were inflicted upon them.
When the Centinela's boats at
tempted to rescue the men struggling
in the water, the rebels fired upon
them, but the Spaniards bravely per-
sisted in their work of rescue, until all
the men had been taken from the
| water.
Nearly every survivor of the Relam
pago's crew was wounded, and there
were only few of >the men belonging
to the Centinela who had not been hit
by the rebel bullets. The commander
of the Centinela was SO seriously
wounded that doubts are entertained O.
his recovery.
The condition of the survivors wa
such that it was impossible for the Cen
tinela to proceed to Guiana and sh'
therefore returned to ManzanillO
where the news of the disaster causet
intense excitement.
The official report of the affair state
that the commander, second enginee
and three sailors of the Relampago wer
killed and her boatswain, quarter
master, chief engineer, pilot and fou
sailors were wounded

THE THREE FRIENDS CASE.
New Point Raised by the Defense al
Sustained by the Court

New Point Raised by the Defense and
Sustained by the Court
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 20. Judge
Locke of the United States court for
the Southern district of Florida has
rendered his decision in the Three
Friends case upon the exception Ct the
defense to the libel of the government
for violating neutrality laws. The
point was raised by counsel for the de-
fense that inasmuch as the Cuban in
surgents had not been recognized by
the United States government they
were neither people nor body poll
tic as defined by section 5293, under
which the libel was drawn. This was
sustained by Judge Locke, and the dis
trict attorney was given 10 days in
which to file an amended libel. The
point was one that had never been
raised before.
Should Judge Locke's decision be
sustained by the court of last resort, it
would appear that every inhibition i'll
the act against fitting out hostile expe-
ditions of every character against for
eign state with whom the United States
are at peace, becomes of no effect. The
question decided by Judge Locke,
therefore. ID of the highest importance,
as, if it is sustained, every act restrain.
ing the fitting out of expeditions to aid
the Cuban insurgents in their struggle
against Spanish authority becomes in
operative.

A Chicago Tribune Prediction.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-The Tribune in
an extra, referring to the senatorial sit
uation in Illinois, says: 1t looks now
as if Robert r. Hit, congressman from
the Ninth congressional district of nli-
nois, will b. elected United States SEN
ator to succeed John M Palmer. Hits
supporters claim they have received
assurances which make it highly prob
able that they will win.

cepted the whole question will be set
tied very soon Il is claimed by some
that the victorious tide is toward Con-
gresham Hit. The managers of sew
eral of the less pretensious candidates
have admitted that they have been dis
cussing the advisability of going over
with their forces to Hit
Euloxized AItgeld.
Long before the hour set for the
meeting of the joint assembly, the gal
leries We're packed with visitors who
had come to hear the nominating
speeches. The first to take the floor
was Representative O'Donnell of
Bloomington. He placed in nomina-
tion for United States senator, in be-
half of the Democratic members, ex-
Governor John p Altgeld. ODonnell
was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause, but the concluding sentence of
his speech brought forth cheer from
both sides of the house and the gallery
as we'll. He had been reiterating the
the virtues of the ex-governor, and III
conclusion said:
If the motives of men be known in
heaven, then the angels speak his name
i'll sweetest accents
Representative Blood, one of the
Populist members, seconded the name
of Altgeld.
A number of other addresses were
made in praise of Governor Altgeld
The Republicans refrained from speech
making, and also refrained from vot
ing, except that one vote was cast fol
each Of the Republican candidates
Governor Altgeld received the full
Democratic vote. No quorum havin,
voted each house adjourned for th'
day.
