the least trace Of them can be found
they will soon be hunted down.

ARDMORE, L. F.. May ia south
bound passenger train on the santa

Cuban Talk in Congress
Depends on the Coming Message.

ing statement in behalf of the finance
committee on Tuesday, but it will rest
with individual senators whether the
debate shall be continued beyond this
speech at that time. The probabilities
are that the statement will produce
some badinage and that after this the
senate will adjourn until the following
earnest. Senator Aldrich is expected TO
fully explain the position of himself
and colleagues and to make quite an
elaborate presentation of the subject.
The house leaders have not yet decid-
ed upon the methods by which they
will make their response to the presi-
dents message, which will be sent to
congress tomorrow or Tuesday, asking
for relief for the starving Americans
in Cuba. That the response will be
quick and complete, however, there is
no reason to doubt. In the present
condition Of affairs In the house three
methods Of procedure are open. Or
dinarily the message would go to the
committee on foreign affairs for con-
sideration, and that committee would
report a bill which would come back
to the house for action through the
regular channels. The speaker could
in the present emergency simply ap-
point this committee and let the whole
subject take the regular course. But
1t is hardly likely that this will be done.
The subject is so well understood that
it will probably be thought that the
members, with the message and the
accompanying documents which the
president will transmit before them,
can act intelligently without COM
mittee report. If the committee is not
appointed two other courses will be
open. First, after the receipt Of the
message bill may be formulated by
the leaders and a special order reported
by the committee on rules for its con-
sideration. This would bring the whole
question at once before the house for
action But this method would be dis
advantageous perhaps in that both
houses struggling to the same end 81
simultaneously would act on different
bills, thus entailing delay for adjust
ment of differences in conference.
The most likely course is that the
house will await the action Of the SEN
ate. if action is had promptly, and then
consider the senate bill or joint reso-
luton under a special order. The SEN
timent in favor of the recognition of
the Cuban insurgents is strong in the
house and very radical measure
might be passed if the house were al
lowed free action. With a senate meas
ure dealing only with the question OF
the relief of the suffering Americans
before the house under a special order,
possibility of amendment would be cut
off and the house would be compelled
to accept or reject it as passed by the
senate. The conference report on the
Indian bill probably will come before
the house this week.

WASHINGTON, May 1e.-The pro-
ceedings in the senate next week are
by no means settled. All will depend
upon the course the Cuban question
may take. Senator Morgan's joint reso-
luton occupies the favored place on
the calendar, and there is little doubt
that it will be taken up at the appoint
ed hour Monday. Still there is a slight
possibility that the expected message
of the president may cause a postpone
ment, and that the character Of his
recommendations nls.y have bearing
that will influence the tenor 4ef the
resolution that ultimately will be
adopted The Ala baTr1a senator will not
stand in the way Of action in accord
ance with such a recommendation as
the president may make upon this sub
ject, but he will insist that it shall be
Independent Of and that it shall in
nowise interfere with his resolution
providing for recognition of Cuban bel
ligerency.
With the Cuban question in It's pres
ent shape and with no other pressing
business before the senate the debate
on this subject will be of uncertain
duration. It may continue practically
all the week, and it may come to a
very sudden and speedy termination.
There is little Or no doubt that the
Morgan resolution will pass when
vote is reached. and The indications are
that the majority for it will be the
greater for the recent delay. There will
continue to be some opposition. and
the plea will be made that any ma
terial aid given in accordance with ex-
ecutive recommendation is all that can
be reasonably expected.
If Cuba does not occupy the entire
attention for the week, much of the
time is likely to be given to the gen
eral calendar. Senator Gear will make
an effort to have the Pacific railroad
bill considered, while Senator Lodge
will. if the opportunity offers, make the
same effort in behalf of the imm1gra-
ton bill Senator Pettigrew will call
up the resolution for the investigation
of the Pacific railroed land patents.
The Indian appropriation bill Will be
brought in .on conference report. In
it there remains only the one point OF
difference on the Uncompahgre lands to
be settled The sundry civil conference
probably will be postponed until Sen
ator Allison's return to the city. sen

Five Reds Held For Trial
On Confession Of Holy Track.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, N. D., May 16-The
hearing Of the Indians accused of COM
plicity in the Spicer case has been con-
cluded, and the five men held to the
district court to be tried for murder,
without bail. These are Louis Black
Hawk, negro and half-breed Indian;
Alex. Coudot, French and Indian half
breed; Paul Holy Track, full-blooded
Indian; Philip Ireland, likewise full
blcoded, and Defender, relative of Holy
Track. The preliminary examination of
the men lasted two days, during all Of
which time Holy Track was on the
stand. No other witnesses were exam
ined, as 1t was not considered neces-
sary by the prosecution. Holy Track
made complete confession Of the
crime, duplicating all of the men who
were held. He attempted to conceal
nothing. Before he began to testify he
stated that he knew what would be
the result-that it meant death for him,
and he said he was willing to be hanged.
Then he detailed the facts in the crime.
they being in the main the same as have
already been given. Coudot wept during
the testimony of Holy Track, showing
that the recollection of the crime was
telling upon him. Black Hawk and De-
fender maintained a stolid Indifference
to what was taking place. Holy Track
was put through a rigid cross -examina-
ton, but it did not cause him to vary
from the story he told, which bore all
the evidences Of truth. The motive for
the crime WAS money, and the Sp1cer
family was selected for murder because
there was known to be only one old man
about the place, which would render the
crime less difficult. His testimony was
transcribed and he signed 1t after he
had concluded. There Is a feeling Of
great relief in Emmons county now
that the men have been formally bound
over for trial, and upon the confession
of one Of the participants. There is
enough other evidence to be produced
at the trial to convict all Of them. II
necessary, a confession can be secured

plans for the capture of Domokos are
being rapidly perfected. Reinforce
ments are arriving, and all the Greek
positions are carefully watched. The
had condition of the roads and the
heavy rains delay the operations for
which the Turkish officers are anx-
iously waiting, but the general advance,
began at dawn.
A number of Greek deserters who
have been captured say that 25,OOO
Greeks are behind the Notifications
and intrenchments at Domokos, but
that the whole organization is rotten,
and the medical and transport serv-
ices have completely collapsed. They
say that for thirty-six hours the only
ration was half loaf, and that the
forces are becoming demoralized and
are deserting by the wholesale.
NEW YORK, May ia special to

Prince Constantine said today: IT wish
to deny emphatically the sensational
reports now current that the army is
starving and in want for lack of ra-
tions. We have plenty of food, and the
soldiers are lmbued with the best OF
spirits and excellent health. There has
been no pitched battle between the op-
posing armies up to the present time,
and many Of the younger officers and
a majority sof the troops demand a
final battle before peace negotiations
are ended. Considering that our gov
ernment does not permit us to execute
deserters, the actual number that has
deserted is extremely small. I wish to
deny positively that I have lost sin
gle gun during the operations against
the Turks. I believe that shall be
able to hold this place Domokos) with
the army I have at my command
against double our number Of Turks
II consider Domokos the strongest
position we have held, and If I am
beaten here I do not favor making a
stand at Thermopylae."

leaders of the organization, including
Joseph Barondess and Meyer Schoen-

an excellent example, riding under fire
with his staff to all the batteries and
advanced posts and to every point
where his troops were scaling the

when well led in a properly conducted
enterprise they are as fine a type of
