bled at the Capitol, he was taken Ia
through the Travis street entrance. but
This Iuse accomplished nothing IL 1t was

than big Governor Hogs got him by the
arm, and leading him half way down the
stairway 10 the rotunda, introduced him to
the crowd below by saying People. this

CARING FOR THE TRUST.
Republicans Refuse to Do Anything
Detrimental to the Sugar Octopus.

Republicans Refuse to Do Anything
Detrimental to the Sugar Octopus.
Washington, June 15.-The republican
caucus last night determined not to incofN
porate in the tariff bill the amendments
proposed by Senator Spooner to postpone
the time when certain features of the sugar
schedule should 90 into effect till six
months after the bill was passed, with the
intention of compelling the sugar trust to
dispose of the surplus sugar imported dur
ing the pendency of the bill at a rate that
would allow it a great profit The posi-
ton taken by large majority of the repub-
lican senators was that it would be i'm
practicable to have various portions of the
bill go into effect at different times. II
such action were taken on sugar, it would
have to be taken on other articles. Argyll
ment was advanced that in changing tariffs
no provisions could be made against the
advantage taken by buyers of foreign
goods. If the tariff was to be reduced i'm
portations would be held back, and If a
tariff was to be raised importations would
he rushed in. This was not only true OF
sugar, but of all other goods. and the eau.
Gus decided that there was no way OF
reaching the importers, that no single artl-
Gle should be selected on which to postpone
the effect of the new tariff bill.

ARRIVES DIRECT FROM CUBA
THE Personal PHYSICIAN OF THE
PRESIDENT OF THE CUBAN
REPUBLIC.
THE NEWS OF SPANISH ATROCITIES
COnfrmed-RepOrts of President
Cisneros' Death Refuted-Insur-
gents In satisfactory Condi-
tiOn-StilI Need Arms.

New York. June 12.-Among the pas
sengers who landed in New York today
on the steamer Valencia from Cuban
ports via Nassau, N. p, was Dr. II. w.
Danforth of Milwaukee, Wis, who for
the past fifteen months has been the per-
sonal physician of the president OF the
Cuban republic Salvador Cisner0s, Mar
quis of Santa Lucia. The doctor is in
the United States on six months leave
Of absence, having left Cuba on May 20
in n 16-foot boat for the island of New
Providence. After much suffering and
exposure he reached Nassau and there
awaited the arrival of the Valencia. Ac-
cording to Spanish reports President Cis-
neros died in February last, and this
news" was semi-officially confirmed in
March last. But DR.. Danforth was with
the president as late as April q last, and
had in his possession letter, which he
showed to the representative OF the AS
socated Press dated April 20, from the
president. The latter is not only not
dead, but when DIR. Danforth left him he
was quite full of enthusiasm and ami
mated by the most confident feeling for
the eventual success of the Cuban cause.
Questioned as to the seat of the gov
ernment of the Cuban republic, DIR. Dan
| forth said it was at Guerra, province of
Puerto Principe, where the insurgents
have erected capitol. The president,
however, is not at Guerra, but Is in the
province of Santiago de Cuba.
DR.. Danforth was asked to express an
opinion as to the numerical strength Of
the Cuban insurgents, being informed
that late adyices from Cuba placed the
number at 5000 men. He said:
'It is difficult, If not impossible, to ar
rive at correct estimate; but you can
say that Cubans for a certainty have at
least 10000 to $4,000 men today, armed
| in good shape The Cubans have not
been idle during the last few years; they
have been importing arms and are
Strengthening right along. In brief,
the Cubans are fighting a desperate
] fight and are in good condition to con-
tinue. The Spanish are also engaged in
desperate contest, but they are ex-
hausted, or almost so.
| In your opinion what Is the next step
by the Spaniards in Cuba?
'Tt is difficult to answer that question,
! but it is TO be presumed that Weyler will
continue wandering about the island, GER

nces. According to reports current in

THE DAWES COMMISSION.
Conference with CheroiSecs to Bc
HeId-Full-BlOOds May Cause
TrOuble.

Taleouah l. T., June 13.--The Chero-
kee commission left here today for. "rl
Gibson to meet the Dawes commission in
conference. They left last week, but ad-
journed to await the arrival of the full
bloods. The full-bloods arrived at this
place and left with the Cherokees to
meet the Dawes commission.
While in Washington they visited Pres
ident Mckinley and petitioned him not to
sign the Indian appropriation bill. The
president told them he hoped they would
have success in their respective business
and said the Indian territory will some
day make prosperous state. He did not
answer their memorial asking him not to
sign the bill.
The full-bloods did not propose to, un-
dergo the change of government without
causing some disturbance, and should the
Cherokee committee want to treat with
the Dawes commission and sustain the
clauses in the Indian appropriation bill
affecting tribal government, when 1888
comes around and the full-bloods see their
government taken away from them, they
may prove dangerous customers.

tapha Bey, the Turkish minister, came to
the state department. He had just re-
turned from New York. and announced
with some disappointment that he had fail
ed to receive any word from his govern
ment respecting the acceptance Of Dr. An
gell, and it was feared the matter was be-
ing negotiated by the slow progress of the
mails. However, the news coming to the
department shows that the way is clear
for DR.. Angell's reception.

Lend Ore Rates.

Washington, June 15.-The republican
members of the senate committee on
finance tonight heard the representatives
of the two sides in the controversy over the
duties on lead ore. There has been per-
sistent effort since the committee increas-
ed the rate from / to IL per cent per
pound to have this rate restored and even
to secure the restoration of the rate in the
Wilson law, which is "a per cent per
pound The smelling interest was repre-
sented at tonight's meeting by Senator
Thurston of Nebraska and Mr.. Baker OF
Kansas, and the mining interests by Sen.
ator Carter of Montana ana Shoup OF
Idaho. 1t was represented on behalf OF
the smelters that if the duty is retained as
provided by the finance committees
amendment, the result would be to drive
most of the American smelters out of ex-
istence and add immensely to the smelling
interests of Mexico. On the other hand,
Senator Carter contended that the west
ern miners were entitled to protection
against the labor of Mexico. He said that
this demonstration of silver had worked
sufficient hardships upon the mining inter-
without imposing this additional burden.
The committee reserved its decision.
