Groundless Story of Her Hactn0 Bee,
Retensed and Sank.

Released and Sank.
HAVANA, CUBA, March 5.-A number
of inquiries were received here to-day re-
gardiug report that the Spanish au-
thorjties had released the captured flibus-
tering schooner Competitor and her crew
and that the vessel had been sunk by a
Spanish warship after leaving the harbor.
The report is totally unfounded. The
Competitor is lying at the anchorage here,
in which she was placed after being
brought here. The men who were cap
tured on her are still in the Cabanas
fortress, and as far as can be learned from
the close-mouthed officials there has been
no change in their condition since they
we're tried and sentenced to death.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Sex
Secretary of State Olney denies any per-
sonal responsibility for the presence of
ex-Qaeen Liliuokalani of Hawaii in the
diplomatic gallery of the Senate yesterday
and to offset the publication that the ex-
regal presence there during the inaugura-
tion was due to surreptitious gilt of a
ticket to her by the State Department, ex-
hibits the following letter:
UNITED STATES SENATE, COMMITTEE oNl
FOREIGN RELATIONS, Feb. 8, 1897. !
Hon. Richard Otney, Secretary of Stdte-SIR: EX-
Queen Lfiiuokalanf is desirous of witnessing
the Inauguration Of the President and Vice
Presid ent-elect on the 4th of March, and she
has made application through her friends for
two seats one for herself and one for her
escort.
1t is impossible for the committee on ar
rangements to provide these places except in
the diplomatic gallery, but as the tickets to
that gallery are 10 be sent to you for distribu-
ton the committee does not feel at liberty to
assign seats in that gallery to any one.
1t is, however, the judgment of the COM
mittee of arrangements that you provide the

sent you for the use of the diplomatic corps

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 5.-Secre.
tary Olney has received the following ca
blegram from Consul General Lee at Ha-
vana:
All quiet; no excitement here now. / hope
to see prompt trial of al Americans impris-
oned, those found innocent to be released and
those guilty sent out of the island.
This dispatch, which came this after
noon in cipher, indicates a most impor-
tant change of attitude on the part of the
military authorities in Cuba under orders
from Madrid, as guilty Americans, on
conviction, are to be expelled from the
island instead of being otherwise pun
ished.

greater speed, may be called after the
leading admiral. No. 10 is named for
Tunis A Craven. who was lost when COM

"PROMISES

CLEVELAND, ONO, January o.
Frank De Haus Robson, who has
been intimately associated with M.
A. Hanna in street railway busi-
ness, is strongly opposed to that
gentleman rs Senator. Mr.. Robi-
son Is one Of the most prominent
Republicans in Northern Ohio. He
is relative and an intimate friend
of Senator Matt Quay, OF Pennsyl-
vania, who is pretty close to For
aker.
"If Major Mckinley and NJ. A.
Hanna will not redeem some Of the
promises that they made TO the
wOrkingmen of this country before
the election" said Mr.. Robson this
afternoon, 81 am in favor of the
Republican party, as n party, talk
ing up the matter. The entire
campaign, which was managed by
Hanna, was based on al appeal to
the workingmen of this country.
They were promised that the mills
would open as soon as Mex inley
was elected. They were promised
work. To-day The times are hard
er than they were before election.
One third more men are out OF en-
ployment to-day than before Nc
Kinley was elected.
"Mr. Hanna's sole ambition was"
he said, "to seat Mr.. Mckinley in
the Presidential chair. He has
succeeded in doing that. But 1t
seems that, after all, his ambition
does not end there. He has dragg-
ed poor old John Sherman out OF
the Senate simply to make room
for himself. lie asks Governor
Bushnell to appoint him.
"Hanna has not kept one promise
which before election he made to
the workingmen Of this country.
Governor Bushnell has an oppor-
tunity to show the people that Mr..
Hanna and Mr.. Mckinley and not
the Republican party are to blame
for these unkept promises. There
are enough milliOnaires in the
United States Senate already. John
is II millionaire. Mark
Hanna is a millionaire.
"I nm in favor of Governor Bush
nell going to the workingmen's

representative Swanson, Of Wa a,
one of the most promin nant of the

has this to say in public inter-
view about about the future Of the
democratic party: "There will be
no reorganization of the democrat
ic party. 1t is today stronger and
more compact, more aggr ssive and
buoyant than any defeated party
ever was before. Without intini-
dation, coercion, or corruption n
vast majority of the voters of this
country today are in accord with
ii. Having divorced itself from
the present administration, it is
building near the affections and
the interests of the masses. The
democratic party will continue its
aggressive fight for both gold and
silver as legal tender money and
against special privileges to trusts,
combines and corporations. Those
who failed to act with us in the
last election will most of them re-
turn to the party. Many have al
ready done so. No concessions in
principles or policies will be made,
though to gain the support of these.
Shorn OF their power of patronage
and discredited as loyal democrats
those who do not return will not be
potential for evil in the future.

retreat from the advance grounds

made known here. Russia found the
original pien would be very costly OF
execution, and it was this which led

Negotiations were begun aud the
Chinese government gave concession
to the Russo-Chinese bank, which
formed new company-the Eastern
Chinese Railway company, capital S2,-

road in Chinese territory. This project
was sanctioned by the ezar's decree on
Dec. 16 last. The road is to run from
a point on the western frontier of the
province of Hei Lung Chang to O point
on the eastern frontier OF Kirin and to
be connected with the branches of the
trans-Siberian railway.
The company may MISC work coal
mines and other mining, industrial and
commercial enterprises in China. Only
Russians and Chinese may hold tho
Shares of the company, the payment of
which the Russian government guaran-
tees. At the end OF 80 years the road
passes into the hands OF the Chinese
government.
