CUBAN RESOLUTION.
Senator Allen Urges the Recognition
Of the islands independence.
Holders Of spanish Bonds and Owners OF
Property In Cuba tho Ones That Pre-
vent Cuba's Freedom Pension
Appropriation Bin.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-The first gun
in congress for Cuban independence
was fred in the senate yesterday by
Senator Allen, Of Nebraska. He offered
resolution declaring it to be the
sense of the senate that congress
should, with oil due convenient speed,
acknowledge by appropriate act the po-
litical independence of Cuba. Mr.. Allen
said that he had long urged the United
States torecognize the independence of
the Cuban insurgents. He would not be
content with the recognition OF bellig-
erency, but would insist upon the ac-
acknowledgement of absolute political
liberty. He was satisfied that the peo-
pie would not be content with the
course advised by the administration.
Inasmuch rs the Cubnns for more
than two years, on many battle
fields, had demonstrated their valor
and love of liberty, he felt that
they had earned recognition Of their
political liberty and that 1t ought to be
accorded to them without further tenn
PORTING. ''If necessary" he said, "this
recognition should be backed by fleet
of American vessels in Cuban waters. !"
He expressed belief that the owners Of
Spanish bonds in this country, Ameri-
can citizens holding property in Cuba,
injured or destroyed by the insurgents,
and the carrying trade OF the country,
which might be affected by such n
step, had Joined to prevent the recogni-
tion Of Cuba's political independence.
Mr.. Allen expressed the belief that
President McKinley's statement in his
message, that the recognition Of the
belligerency of the Cuban insurgents
Is now unwise and therefore inadmissi-
BILE, would be great disappointment
to the members OF the republican
party throughout the United States.
The national convention of that party
had declared in favor of the independ-
encc Of Cuba, going farther than the
simple recognition of belligerency. He
thought that the president was under
obligations to carry out the pledge
which his party had made-a pledge
which had been made to $4,000, 900
people.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Aliens re-
marks Mr.. Hoar presented resolution
expressing the regret of the senate ut
the news of the death OF Representa-
tive Ashley b. Wright, of Massachu-
sets, and providing for an adjourn.
ment us n further mark of respect. At
1885 o'clock the resolution was adopt
ed and the senate adjourned.

DEPLORABlE ACCIDENT.
Death of Leslie N. Doan from an Ac.
 cidental Pisto! Shot.

News of the fatal accident which be- fell Leslie M. Doan near Blaisdell sta tion, Yuma county, on Tuesday of last week, was received here with much regret.
 The deceased, with his brother John Doan and Fred Martin, superintend- ent of the Fortuna mines, were re- turning from Blaisdell where they had gone with the monthly shipment of gold bullion from the Fortuna mines. Another employe of the company who had accompanied them to Blaisdell was not with them on the return trip, but he had left his 45-calibre Colts revolver on the wagon seat, and it was this weapon which fell from the seat and was discharged, resulting in the fatal wounding of Leslie Doan. The bullet passed up through the seat and through the body of young Doan, coming out above the navel.
 The party hastened back to Blais- dell, and the Southern Pacific phys ician at Yuma was summoned, but was unable to afford the injured boy relief owing to the nature of the wound and the great loss of blood, and upon She arrival of the east bound passenger train Wednesday morning he was taken to Tucson. The phys icians at the hospital there, after ex- amining the wound, pronounced it fatal, and young Doan gradually grew weaker and died, apparently suffering slight pain, at 6 o'clock Wednesday morning. Judge and Mrs. F. M. Doan, who had been noti- flied by telegram of the deplorable accident, joined the sad party on the train at Casa Grande and were with their son during his last hours. Frank and Fletcher Doan, brothers of the deceased, reached Tucson before the funeral, which took place on Thurs day afternoon.
 The Florence Tribune says: "Leslie Murray Doan was born Jan. 27, 1880, in Pike county. Mo. He came with his parents from St. Louis to Arizona in 1887, and has lived since that time in the territory. He left Florence few weeks ago for Fortuna, where he was given a responsible position for so young man in the mining com pany's store, and was giving splendid satisfaction to his employers. He had gone through the Florence schools and had prepared to enter the Terri torial University next term"

TO BUILD FROM PHOENIX TO

In an interview published in the Santa Fe New Mexican, Central Agent Helm, of the Denver & Rio Grande, stated that the construction of the Phoenix & Globe railroad is assured. It will, he says, extend for a distance of 90 miles, tapping splcn. did mining region, of which Globe iB the center. "This work is to be done by the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix road, at the present time operating a line running from Ash Fork to Phoe- nix, distance of 106 miles. talked with President Murphy, of this road, and he assured me that construction work on the Globe & Phoenix line would be commenced in few weeks, and that the proposition would be pushed rapidly forward to consumma- tion. Aside from opening up an ex- tensive mining country the scheme has a great deal of significance from an agricultural standpoint, develop ing as it will one of the most fertile valleys in the west"

Governor McCord, in the address delivered on the 29th ult., at Phoenix, said among other things; 'Tt is idle to try to disguise the fact that the Re- publican party in this territory is in a sad minority. At the last election our party boiled but 20 per cent of the vote, while the other two parties boiled 71 per cent" And yet the governor talks of statehood, as though Repub- hcan congress would ever admit ter ritory T per cent of whose vote was cast for free silver! Fully one.half of the Republican vote in Arizona at the Inst election was divided between Mark Smith and Buckley O'Neill, for the req son that voters could not swallow the gold platform.

The mine is situated in the Chiricahua mountains, and the latest shipment of ore to the smelter at Fl Peso give returns of 16 per cent copper and S6 per ton in gold. This is in carload lots.

STORY OF AN INDIAN CHASE.

The last quarterly issue of the Journal of the United States Cavalry Association contains an article by Lieutenant James W. Watson, 10th cavalry, entitled Scouting in Arizona, detailing the pursuit of the renegade Indians who murdered Geo. Herbert, freightsr, on March 2, 1890, at the Point-of-Rocks, nine miles west of Fort Thomas Lieutenant Watson, in relating the story of that memorable chase and the eliminating fight with inc Apache renegades, in which two of the latter were killed and the remain ing three captured, is far too modest, giving to Lieutenant Pewhattan Clark and Rowdy, the scout, the full credit for the success achieved. Their assist ance, no doubt, was invaluable, but those familiar with the incident know that Lieutenant Watson was leader of the scouting party in fact as we'll as in name, and that the discontinue of the outlaws was due to his tireless energy and valor, and the confidence which he inspired in his followers.
 The fugitives were run to cover in a rocky canyon near Salt river, north of Globe, where they were strongly forti- fled, and in the attempt to dislodge them the attacking party was exposed to their fire. After a fight which lasted four hours the renegades sur rendered, when it WAS found that one of their number had been killed, their leader mortally wounded and third Indian shot through the arm. The at- tackiag party suffered no casualties. Returning with the prisoners, the con- mand stopped over night at Globe and were given an ovation by the grateful citizens. Their appreciation of the commands good work found expres- sion in dance and supper, and al- though the propriety of entertaining sta terpsichoresn revel officers who had just returned from six days hard service ia the field might we'll have been questioned, yet they appeared to enjoy it as much as anybody. The supper was more in keeping with the occasion, as it was the first oppor- tunity the travel-worn warriors had had for six days to give their jackets q fit.
 For distinguished service. in the affair Lieutenant Watson was brevetted captain and Lieutenant Clark pro- noted to the rank of first lieutenant. Rowdy had medal conferred upon him by congress, which he wore con- spicuousiy on his breast and prized' more highly than all his other posses. sions.
 For the past several years Lieuten- ant Watson has been acting Indian agent at tho Crow agency, in Montana, position he has filled with ability and Co the satisfaction of the government. Lieutenant Watson's acquaintances in I Arizona will be pleased to learn that there is . probability of his being transferred to the San Carlos agency in September, to relieve Capt. A. l.. Myer, the present acting agent there.
