In the Police Court yesterday morn
ing Albert Moss was charged with

in and which he had admitted to the
head of the firm had been lost in gam

troller in his letter to the board:
Gentlemen: l beg to inclose here
with two orders on the superintendent
of State Printing for printing necessary
for my office. which have been returned
to me with the notation attached there
to. Under the provisions of Section o31
of the Political Code, as amended in
1895, in the event State officer shall
consider the decision OF the Superin-
tendent Of State Printing unfair in his
declination of an order for printing, he
may refer the matter to the State Board
of Examiners, which board shall de-
termine the matter.
This decision of the Superintendent
of State Printing | consider unfair and
unwarranted, against public policy and
detrimental to the proper conduct of
the business of the State. / therefore
refer the matter to your honorable
permit of State Printing be re-
quired to fill this order at once
And there are others. The Adjutant-
General yesterday found that he re-
quired some printing done, and it was
of a character that required it should
be done right away But he didn't get
it, for the same reason that Controller
Colgan failed to have his order filled.

President Hitchcock Claims Nicara gua
Canal Company Has Done Its Part.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27..-Hiram Hitch
cock, president of the Nicaragua Canal
company, has written letter to Secre,
tary Olney in reply to Senor Rodriguez
statement, which the secretary sent to
the senate.
Mr.. Hitchcock says that when Senor
Rodriguez says the company has for
feited its charter because of neglect to
make the surveys as required, "he
omits to inform you that the final sur
veys and location of the canal were
made and concluded by commission
of engineers in strict conformity with
article az of the concession and were
formally accepted by the government
of Nicaragua on Oct. 8, 1885,"
Mr.. Hitchcock also asserts that the
company has fully complied with the
requirements of the concession. "The
letter of the minister" he concludes,
''is an attack upon the integrity of the
Maritime Canal company, and its con-
cessions and on behalf of that COM
pany l ask the protection and aid of
the government of the United States
in the defense and maintenance of its
concessionary rights and its property" "

Spain Claims Havana and MatanZas
Provinces Are Pacified.

Spain Claims Havana and matanZas
Provinces Are Paci6ed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The almost
complete pacification Of Havana and
Matanzas provinces in the western part
of the island of Cuba is announced in
the following dispatch received at the
Spanish legation here from the Spanish
minister of foreign affairs:
"Weyler, at the head of ID batallions,
has repeatedly traversed the provinces
Of Havana and Matanzas, obliging the
principal rebel leaders to fly to Las
Villas. Weyler considers that now in
Havana and MatanZas there remain no
nucleus of rebels or organic ed bands to
disperse, and that both provinces may
be considered as almost completely
pacified. The sugar growers in these
provinces are now grinding cane with
out molestation."
The officials Of the legation regard the
achievements of General Weyler and
the announcement of the foreign affairs
office as of great importance. The
center part of the island, they say, has
been in a state of pacification, and now
that the western part has been brought
to similar state, the rebels it is stated
are confined in their movements to some
of the eastern provinces. Following
close on this announcement it is ex.
pected Premier Canovas will promul-
gate the reforms for Cuba voted by the
cortes in 1895, but withhold until the
island shall have been regarded as paci.
fed to degree warranting their appli
| cation

has sent to the senate list of persons
claiming to be citizens Of the United
States who have been ARE tied on the

sons have been arrested, while Of these
seven have been tried. These are Julio
Sanguilly, Louis Someillan, Alfred La.
borde, William Gildea, Ona Melton,
Charles Barnett and William Leavitt.
In the cases of Sanguilly and Some-
illan, he says, appeals have been taken
and in the cases Of the other five Com
petitor prisoners new trial has been
ordered. Thirty.six of the persons ar
rested have been released, after the
charges against them had been investi.
gated and found to be baseless. Eigh-
teen have been expelled from the island
after periods Of confinement lasting
from few days to o year, while IL
cases are still pending. The charges
against IA of these are as follows:
Sedition and rebelhon-Caspar A.

Larrien, Esteben Venero and Jose Con-
zalez have not been ascertained,
though demand has been made for them
both at Havana and Madrid, with q
| further demand that they be at once
formulated and communicated that the
prisoners be released. The secretary
adds that in addition to the "a cases,
nine correspondents of various news
papers in the United States have beer
expelled from Cuba by the Spanish au
thorities after temporary detention by
the military
He also says that no American citizer
has been sentenced to or is confined a

that demands have been made upon tht
Spanish government in every cas-
where trial seems to be unreasonabl!
delayed that it 60 forward at once o
that the prisoner be released.
