A PARDON FOR sANGUILLY.
American Whom the Senate Made
such a Fuss About Is to
- Be Released. II.


Washington. Feb. ,25.-Senor DeLome. the
Spanish minister. tonight received a ca
blegram from the Duke of Tetuan stating
that ttAe QUEEN has isigned the pardon OF
Julio SinguiIly. 4 ...i
1t rs statetfsat the legation that this ac-
ton was agreed hpon somei days ago at a
cabinet meet. but the announcement was.
according to diplomatic usage, withheld
until the queen had formally signed 1t.
1t is understood here, and the fact may
have an important bearing upon the treat
ment of the Sanguiily case If well estab-
Hshed, that the withdrawal of his appeal
to-day was without prejudice; in other
ing action in the future, if he feels that he
has reason, to secure indemnity for his i'm
prisonment. 1t appears that the only legal
method of securing the prisoners discharge
speedily was adopted. namely. Withdrawing
the appeal that had been taken from the
sentence of the lower court in Cuba.
Perhaps the same result could have been
heard by the court at Madrid, but this
volyed a long wait. and SO long as the ap-
peal was pending the Spanish law did not
admit of a pardon. So, for the benefit of
the prisoner, his counsel was made aware
of the state of the law. They readily agreed
to withdraw their appeal in this state of
the case. and now they are awaiting with
anxiety the possible interruption of their
plan by the action of the senate. This is
indicated by a letter which Senator Sher-
man received to-day from j. j. Rodriguez.
Sanguilly's attorney, earnestly entreating
him to work against the passage of the
senate resolution. ON the ground that it

NO CHANGE IN POLICY.
ed Plan. of Action, Needless
of Public Clamor

of Public CIamor.
Washington, Feb. 25.-Inquiry discloses
the fact that nothing that has occurred
In Cuba recently and no clamor that has
been raised over the reported intention of
Consul General Lee to resign has affected
in any degree the policy the. administra-
tion has laid down for its guidance. The
officials of the state department insist that
their. record Is clear upon the point ut
present involved. viz: The efforts made to
extend legal protection to American citi-
zens in Cuba. The treatment of cases
arising from the arrest or such citizens in
the course of hostilities. it is explained, is
a most difficult task, and one requiring 4
delicate touch to insure that any claim
made by the state department. shall be
based upon such a statement 81 facts as
will not be subject to impeachment.
The officials feel that they have done this
without losing sight of the rights of any
American citizen who has been imprisoned.
and they say that when the administration
of the affairs of~state passes into other
hands, if the law Is to be observed, there
will be no opportunity to do more than has
zens. When person claiming to be an
American citizen has resided for years in
Cuba, and made it his place of business,
where he has failed to register at the con-
sulate general, and where there Is a radical
doubt as TO the very fact of his naturaiiza-
tion to begin with, it is plain so the ofi-
cfals say, that the department would make
grievous mistake. and one that might
bear evil fruit for other prisoners, by in
sisting. out of hand and without allowing
the immediate and unconditional release of
the man. ~

FOR A LABOR EXCHANGE.
Mayor Jones Has Been Asked to In
d0rse the Plan and Head n
Subscription List.

George T. Demaree, the well known local
labor leader, held conference with Mayor
Jones yesterday and explained to him the
details of his plan for labor exchange.
outlined in The Journal yesterday. The
mayor will give the mater careful con-
sideration and will announce his opinion
as to the feasibility of the plan to-day. He
said after the conference that If practic-
able, the plan was an excellent one. The
competitive feature ne did not consider
as initiating against It's being tried. The
fact that the exchange will compete with
merchants and producers in placing prod
ucts of labor On the market has been urged
against the scheme by interested parties.
The plan has been tried in Lafayette
county with success. The central idea of
the plan is to give unemployed the cppor-
tunity OF earning groceries, clothing and
supplies by working in cne of the various
departments. The exchange has already
been inaugurated on a very small scale.
A building has been rented at 2t3-205
Southwest boulevard. Enough rooms have
been subrented to make the rent of the ex-
change cost nothing. Several persons have
been given employment in mending har-
ness, making shoes, etc. A laundry will be
started for women and a printing office
will be put in. from which weekly paper
will be issued and job work done. Mayor
Jones was asked yesterday to indorse the
plan and to head list of subscribers to a
small amount of capital.

His Cuban Policy.

jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 25.-(Special)
The Republicans of the house were greatly
astonished this afternoon when Represent
ative Behart, of Clinton. one of the young
Democratic leaders of the house. sent TO
the clerks desk a resolution denouncinS
President Cleveland, the former idol of
the Democracy, for his failure to sustain
Consul General Lee in his attempts to pro-
tect the rights of American citizens in
Cuba. A feeble attempt was made by two
of the members of the house to have the
references to the inefficiency of the pres
ident and the condemnatory clauses of
the resolution stricken put. but their ef-
forts were in vain. The resolution was
adopted by an almost unanimous vote. 1t
Is as follows:
Whereas, The news of recent outrages
perpetrated upon American citizens by the
Spanish authorities in Cuba is in credit
able and authentic form; and,
Whereas. These outrages are in violatioi
of the treaty rights of this government with

OF this house that the course of the admin

outrages upon the rights. liberties and lives
OF American cizens in Cuba and refusing
TO extend TO them adequate protection. as
requested by our consul general to Cuba
Is IN violation of the principles. traditions,
genius and spirit OF this government; is a
,cowardly surrender of its dignity, and is
calculated TO cause the American people to
bow their heads in shame for the lack of
courage, patriotism and honor shown by
the president of the United States in his
failure to sustain our brave and patriotic
consul general to Cuba in his Just demands
upon the Spanish authorities for protection
to American citizens.

Dunn's bill providing for Scent street rail-

came up for engrossment in the house to-
day. AS on former occasions, when this
bill has been under consideration. there
was considerable opposition to it from the
members from st. Louis and others, but
owing to the fact that the lobby had been
accused of dckering with the committee
on internal improvements, to which 1t was
referred, the opposition was not as eff
fective as it was expected to be. Just be-
fore the close of the discussion, Represent
ative Clarke, of Kansas City, offered an
amendment making it apply to cities of
100000 population and over. which was
adopted. This amendment will give the
working people of Kansas City the benefit
of the reduced fares on the street railways
while going to and from their work. if the
bill becomes law. The bill is short, and,
in full, is as follows. as amended:
