during the day the committee on tenn
peranc reported resolution naming q
special committee of five: members to
investigate the alleged violation of the
state law relative to liquor selling and
gambling in the city Of Bismarck, and

duty it is to prevent such violations are
interested in the breaking of laws.
The resolution invests the committee
with power to compel the attendance
of witnesses and requires them to make
investigation and report within q 1eac
sonable time. There was hot fight
on the passage of the resolution, many
of the members claiming that violations
of the prohibition law were notorious

Cuban General Interviewed

"Pacified" Province Of Pinar
del Rio Alive With
Insurgents.

New YORK, Feb, 10.-The World
publishes an interview with General
Maxine Gomez, dated Jan. 70, 1897.
General Gomez says in part:
"Spain will not grant any real re-
form. We no longer ask concessions
from her. Even were SPANS propos-
ais bona fide, nothing could tempt us
to treat with her.
1--WE are for liberty, not for Spanish
reform. We are for Cuba, not for
Spain. am disgusted with this talk
Of reform. Does Spain think we have
forgotten the lessons of the past?
''Home rule in it's broadcast sense is
independence. That is the kind of
home rule we want. If you ask, would
we accept home rule with Spanish
captain general, would answer most
emphatically, mo- We want nothing
from Spain. We do not want her cap
tain general or her glory, if she has
any remaining, nor her care"
"Do you believe the United States is
rendering aid to Spain?"
Uncle Sam Not Cuban Ally.
''That is q delicate question:" he
answered. Il hope not. Still, will
speak plainly and with candor. 1t is
certain that the United States has not
been our ally. If the government at
Washington owes anything to the cause
Of liberty if it favors the struggle for
freedom now going ON here, it has not
shown it, even by SO much as an ez-
preston of Sympathy
"Could you materially increase the
size of your army if you had plenty OF
arms and ammunition.
IL could march into the province of
Havana with $4,000 men in a month";
replied General Gomez, land that
would mean the almost immediate
freedom of Cuba, for one Cuban is
as good as two Spaniards. More than
that, am convinced that with $4,000
men properly armed and equipped and
supported by artillery, the Spanish:
army could be driven from Cuba
within three months."~

IN A PAC,FIED PROVINCE.
Pinar del Mo Insurgents in Better Con-

Pina,r del Rio Insurgents in Better Con-
lition ThaD Ever.
HAVANA, via Key West, Feb. 10
The various reports and statements of
Captain General Weyler. announcing
the pacification of the province of Pr,
mar del Rio and the. almost complete
disappearance of the insurgents in that
part of the island are far from being
borne out by facts. AS a matter Of
fact the insurgent forces in Pinar del
Rio seem better off than at any previ--
Gus stage of the campaign. In support
of this assertion it is; positively known
that at least 5000 insurgents, under
we'll known leaders,, are at present un.-
der AIMS in various parts of the prov,
ince. In addition to these is strong
body Of insurgents which seems to have,
mysteriously disappeared from the
neighborhood of Havana. Their where
abouts is known to,be
Causing spaniards Considerable Anxiety.
The friends of the insurgents intimate
that q big surprise. is being prepared
for Captain General Weyler when he
tries to return to Havana.
General Gonzal"" Munoz is upon the
point of returning 20 Spain on leave, of
absence and his example is to be fol-
lowed by several other generals in
March. These officers, the friends of
the insurgents claim, see absolutely no
chance Of glory in Cuba and consider
able danger of disgrace, to say nothing
Of disease and wounds. Consequently,
their enemies add, seeing that the in.
sureents must eventually triumph by
the machete or otherwise, they are
adopting the policy Of rats when the
latter become aware that the ship
which harboss them is upon the point
Of sinking.

Occupied the Entire Day in
Opposition to the Arbi-s
tration Treaty.
Offered an Important Amend
ment and Advocated Its
Adoption.
House Adopts the Conference
Report on the Immtgra-
ton Bill,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The most
important developments concerning
the consideration Of the arbitration
treaty by the senate in executive ses-
sion during the day We're the offering
of an amendment by Senator Morgan
providing for the abrogation Of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty and the speech
by tho same senator in favor of this
proposition. Senator Morgan declared
that the conditions which called forth
the Clayton.Bulwer treaty had long
passed away. 1t was no longer bind
ing on either nation, nor was it Of any
use or value to this nation, though it
might be of great importance to Great
Britain in case the Nicaragua canal
was constructed. While the old treaty
was obsolete and disregarded, yet it
was still
Used ~ . Menace and Bugaboo
to the United States whenever the con.
struction Of the Nicaragua canal was
advocated. Another important amend
ment was offered by Senator Bacon Of
Georgia. 1t provides for modification
Of article 4 so as to relieve the South.
ern states, from any obligations that
might arise under the bonds issued in
the reconstruction days. The amend
ment was the result of q conference
among the Southern senators, who
concluded that the article as it now
stands might render it possible to make
these bonds, when held by subjects Of
Great Britain, the object Of arbitra-
ton. Mr.. Bacon sought an oppor-
tunity to address the senate on the
amendment. but was prevented by the
fact that Senator Morgan held the
floor all day.
Looking for tho Leak.
The early part Of the session was de-
voted to the discussion of the full re.
ports of Mondays secret session that
were printed in the papers. Senator
Vest sprung this subject as soon a. the
combinations were disposed of. Two
hours were devoted to senatorial dis.
cussion of the methods of the modern
newsseeker, which was more in the
nature Of fault finding than of crit.
cism Of their accuracy. The reports
were generally complimented for their
accuracy, and the majority Of the -.
marks were devoted to m effort to en-
plain their appearance. Senator Vest
asserted that no one but trained
newspaper man could give the pro-
ceedinRs in such detail a. sent out, and
contended that an expert must be en-.
ployed somewhere in the chamber.
He complained quite bitterly of the ap-.
pearance of such reports as derogatory
to the dignity of the senate. He was
followed by Senators Hale and Hoar in
tho same strain.
