with a discussion OF minor details of the
treaty. Senator Morgan reiterated his oppo-

a leave of absence by his government. but

a new treaty with the United States for

circles that he Is anxious TO negotiate a
new treaty on the basis Of the Freling-
huySen treaty. which was pending when
Mr.. Cleveland was inaugurated i'm 1855 and
was Withdrawn from the Senate by him.
There are some notifications which time

TO RECOGNIZE BEL1IGERENcY
Tnrpie Backs Up ths Joint Res oitation
Presented bv Mor0cn

Presented by Morgan.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 10.-Mor-
gan's resolution recognizing belIIserency
in Cuba was taken up in the Senate to-
day, and Hale addressed the Senate in op-
position to it.
Turpie argued in favor of the resolu-
ton. He spoke of the universally of
American sympathy with the Cubans,
saying the only question was how far that
pathy should 60. Should it be con-
fined to meetings or should there be an
official declaration, asking the Govern
ment to give expression OF 1t, that 1t be
published and proclaimed throughout the
world. He thought tuis sympathy should
take shape in official action now, to-day.
1t ought to be no longer delayed. The
resolution should not be referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations, for
that committee Was unanimously in favnr
of it, and had reported g similar resolu-
tion two months ago, only that was con-
current while this was a Joint resolu-
ton.
Referring to the objections that the
Cuban patriots held no seaport, Turpie
cited many other cases. including the
colonies wherein all the seaports were
held by the enemy, and said the struggle
for liberty had not in any age depended
on seaports. 1t had depended on the
great principle that people who live in a
country are entitled to rule and govern it.
They had the God-given right to dominion
over it. This was the age of revolution,
and he hoped 1t would last long enough to
drive the last remnant of monarchy from
the American continent
White of California, member of the
Committee on Foreign Relations, chal-
lenged the correctness of Turpie's state
ment that the committee was unani-
mously in favor of the resolution, and he
compared the concurrent resolution re-
ported last session with the joint resolu-
tion now pending to show the disparity
between them. He thought the usual
course should be followed and the resolu-
ton referred to the Cam nittee on Foreign
Relations.
Morrill, said he would like to talk briefly
on the subject, but preferred to do so to-
morrow. On his motion, therefore, the
Senate proceeded to executive business
and afterward adjourned.

SPAIN WEARY OF WAR,
SO She Is Willing to Give Up on Any
Kind of Terms.

SO She Is Hitlim0 TO Give Up on Any
Kind of Terms.
HAVANA, CUBA, May 10-Dispa tches
from Madrid state that it is the general
belief in that city that negotiations of the
greatest Importance to Cuba are now in
progress between the Spanish Govern
ment and that of the Un1ted States. Just
what the negotiations may lead to is not
known, but it is thought that they will re-
suit in much more liberal administra-
ton for the island, if n OF in its com plete
independence. That there is probably
some foundation for the rumor is indi-
Gated by the refusal of Senior Canovas to
communicate to the Cortes the diplomatic
correspondence that has taken place on
the subject.
Notwithstanding the statements made
bv the Spanish authorities that the war in
Cuba is practically over and that there is
little except guerrilla fighting on the
island, those who are familiar with the
situation know that the revolution is very
far from being suppressed, and that the
home Government is getting very tired of
the struggle and would gladly avail itself
of any means of ending the war that
would not involve confession of defeat.
The war has been terribly expensive for
5rain, both in the matter of money and
also In life. The loss in the army has
been very heavy, not so much as a result
of conflicts with the insurgents as on ac-
count of the climate. The Cuban climate
has been very severe on the unacclimated
soldiers from Europe, who have died by
the thousands. Ever since the war began
the hospitals have been full to overfowing
with Spanish.
The stories OF starvation continue to
come from the interior. Thousands of
people on the island have died of starva-
tion and the deaths from this cause will
be greatly increased before any help can
come. In all parts of the island there is

sends scathing denunciation of Crown
Prince Constantine. He says from the
opening of the war the Crown Prince, in
his capacity as scensor-in-chief, has blocked
all news sent by English reporters. This
led to their mailing their reports to
Athens. Even then they were not always
forwarded The Minister of War, the
correspondent adds. issues every evening
an official account of the days events and
this is incorporated in kilograms, which
explains their inaccuracy. The cor
respondent says the Crown Prince, who is
perfectly acquainted with the English
language, altered news dispatches so they
would read favorabiy to himself The
Greek disaster was due chiefly to the
Crown Prince. He is answerable for de-
stroying the morale Of the army. By
giving an order to svacuate Gritzovali the
place was lost. He ordered a retreat from
Turnavo and ran away from Larissa,
abandoning the panic-stricken populace,
who believed the city would be defended.
ALI cursed the Crown Prince for deserting
them.
The writer further declares the disaster
was due to lack of discipline and scarcity
of officers. Seven hundred cavalrymen
com posed of the gilded youth OF Athens
reached Turnavo on the fifth day of the
war, but did not find q single horse.
Greece hoped to mobilize $4,000 troops,
but she actually mobilized only half that
number. Then everything was wanting,
except ammunition. Owing to the fact
that there was no control over the rations

THIRTY-TWO GUERRILLAS ARR
HANGED AS TRAITORS.
Notwithstanding Weyler's Reports Of Pacifi-
cation the Cubans Boldly Invade
Havana Province and Strike
Decisive Blow.

HAVANA, CUBA, May TO- - Eighty
wounded Spanish soldiers have been
brought to Havana by railroad. 1t is
believed they fought in a battle against
General Gomez.
At late hour it is said that Gomez is
in Havana province and that big battle
was fought yesterday near Guinez, thirty
miles from the city of Havana, in which
the Spanisrds were routed with heavy
losses.
The sensation this has produced here is
very great. Not single word has been
allowed to be published here about Co
mez's march. At an earlier hour intense
excitement was created here by the news
that Gomez was at Bermeia, Matanzas
province, ten or fifteen miles from the
bord er of Havana province. The entire
guerrilla force of Bermeia was captured
by Gomez. Ten of these were released
later and returned to the Spanish out
posts, declaring that the commander of
the Cuban forces, who had a talk with
them, was Gomez himself. They declare
he has about 1000 welI-armed men, almost
all cavalry. 1t Is said among Cuban SOL
Tiers that the Cuban general Francisco
Carrillo is following Gomez with 5000
men. and 10 now probobly in about the
center of Matanzas province.
The Bermeia guerrilla band captured
by Gomez was composed of forty two
men, thirty-two being Cubans employed
by the Spanish on account of their knowl-
edge of the country. Gomez freed the ten
Spaniards and ordered the thirty-two
Cubans hanged on the spot as traitors
The order was Immediately executed.
This military movement of Gomez fol-
lowing closely upon the great military
march of General Banderas from Santiago
de Cuba to Pinar del Rio is decisive blow
in the campaign against Weyler.
The crimes of Colonel Fonsdeviella in
in Guanabacoa are in full course again.
Yesterday some fifteen Spanish soldiers
entered the house of Cuban named Ri
cardo Rodriguez and arrested him. His
wife interfered in his behalf. She was
tied to a chair, gagged and assaulted.
Rodriguez was put IN chains, dragged
out of town to the old place of execution,
where so many murders have been com
mitted by order of Fonsdeviella. There
he was slain.
Weyler arrived yesterday at Sancti
Spiritus. Ex- Governor of Havana Porrua
and General Figueroa sailed for Spain to-
day, the latter on sick leave. Ten poIiti-
cal suspects, nine cattle-stealers and
twelve nanigos were deported to-day to
the African penal colonies.
Teodoro Menedez Gonzales was shot to-
day at Cabanas for the crime of rebellion.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 1o.-Ad-
vices from Puerto Cortez are to the effect
that the Nicaraguan expedition sent
against the rsvolutionists, under General
RaInes, had just arrived there in The Lucy
B, carrying two cannon, and was prepar-
ing to bonn bard the town. American resi-
dents were very much disturbed at the
situation, and looking impatiently for the
arrival of an American warship. The
revolutionists are determined to make a
stand at Puerto Cortez. They have con-
centrated their forces there, and an en-
gagement between the Lucy B of the
Nicaraguan navy and the land forces OF
the revolutionists was momentarily ex-
pected. The reyolutlonists have destroyed
the railroad bridge from the interior to
Puerto Cortez, and SO prevent an attack
from the government forces or those of
Salvador marching from the interior.
