Resolution Declaring For Cuban
independence.
ASSAILS THE PRESIDENT
HIS CONDUCT AN EXHIBITION
OF RANK HYPOCRISY.
And One That Would Be Corrected
By an All-Ruling Power In His
Own Good Time-Froceedings In
the Senate-The House Session
Was Short.

Washington, Dec. Sin his invoca-
ton at the opening of the senate to-
day Rev. w. H Milburn, the chaplain,
delivered brief and touching eulogy
of the late Senator George of Missis-
sippi.
Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, presented a
resolution declaring it to be the sense
of the senate that congress should, with
all due and convenient speed accorded
by appropriate act acknowledge the po-
Iitical independence of Cuba. Mr.. Al
len said that he had long urged that the
United States should recognize the in
dependence of the Cuban insurgents.
He would not be content with the rec
IGNITION of belligerency. but would in
sist upon the acknowledgement of alb
solute independence. He was SatlSf1ed
that the people would not be content
with the course advised by the admin
istration. Inasmuch as the Cubans, for
more than two years, on many battle
fields, had demonstrated their valor and
love for liberty, he felt that they had
earned a. recognition of their political
liberty, and that it ought to be ac-
corded to them without further tenn
poriZing. If necessary, this recognition
should be backed by a fleet of Ameri-
can vessels in Cuban waters.
THOSE OPPOSED.
He expressed a belief that the owners
Of the Spanish bonds in this country,
American citizens holding property in
Cuba that had been injured or de-
stroyed by the insurgents, and the car
rying trade of the country, which
might be affected by such step, had
joined to prevent the recognition of
Cubas political independence.
SCORES THE PRESIDENT.
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 inadmissible,
would be a great disappointment to the
members of the Republican party
throughout the United States. The ma
tional convention of that party had
declared in favor OF the independence
of Cuba going farther than the simple
recognition of belligerency.
RANK HYPOCRISY.
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 73,000,-
coo people. The president, Mr.. Allen
thought, had been lulled to sleep by
the declaration of Spain that she would
give Cuba a semi-political existence.
He expressed the belief that the presi-
dents neglect to take such action as
would insure the political independence
of Cuba as an exhibition of rank by
pocrisy" and a fragrant neglect of
public duty" which would be cor
rected by the all-ruling power in his
own good time.
MARK OF RESPECT.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Aliens re-
marks Mr.. Hoar presented a resolution
expressing the regret of the senate at
the news of the death Of Representa-
tive Ashley B. Wright of Massachu-
setts and providing for an adjourn
ment as a further mark of respect At
1855 o'clock the resolution was
adopted and the senate adjourned.

THREAT OF CUBAN INTERVIEW
TIoN NOT SINCERE.
Intended Only to Allay Belligerent
American opinion-Cortes viii
Net Convene Until the Effect of
the Message In Congress Is As
Observation-Disclosures Frustrated.

Madrid, Dec. S.-The premier, Senior
Sagasta, in an interview. referring to
President McKinley's message to con-
sress, is quoted as saying he thinks
tie message satisfactory, because the
threat 20 intervene in Cuba was made
only to give satisfaction to a portion
of American opinion without the in
tention of executing it,
Continuing, the premier said that the
government would not make a declar-
alton on the subject. He believed that
the presidents words would have in
fuence with the insurgents and added
that the cortes would not be convened
until the government has ascertaiaed
the effect Of the message upon the
United States congress.
SHOWED CLEVERNESS.
The Impartial, commenting on the
message, says:
1T shows a certain cleverness and
evil intention when it refers to tilibus-
tering expeditions. Mckinley speaks
with what appears to be excessive
cynicisrn to those who have not lost all
notion of justice. This government
must show the Yankees that the Span
ish flag floats over Cuba and that they
have yet to tear it down"
In conclusion, the Impartial remarks:
''The manufacture and sale of arms is
not the same thing as using them.
The Marquis Villanejor, a member of
the senate, has written TO Senior Sa-
Sasta, the premier, Offering 10000

CARLIST MANIFESTATIONS.
Tomorrow the Carlist deputies viii
meet to discuss President AIcKinley's
message to congress. 1t is said they
intend 70 provoke popular manifesto
tions against the message.
According to a dispatch from BARGE
Iona, Lieutenant General Weyler, in
the course of an interview there, has
felicitated himself on being attacked"
by President Mckinley in the message,
as this proves that his (Weyler's)
policy was displeasing to the enemies
Of Spain. He expressed his surprise
that the Spanish government would
tolerate such attacks upon the repre-
sentatives of the nation.
OFFICIAL ORGAN SAYS.
La Corresponds Espano, the official
organ, says that, after reflection, Span
ish opinion on President Mckinley is
more optimistic than at first. 1t pro-
ceeds to impugn the sincerity of the
presidents protestation of friendship
Tor Spain ana OF respect Tor 1nteTna-
tional obligations, but it admits that
the message was addressed to congress
personally, and in language, though not
intended to please Spain, viii annoy
Jingoes and filibusters."
SATISFACTION VISIBLE.
Outside of official circles satisfaction
is very visible in financial circles and
also Of the general public. Among
statesmen, the most pleased is Castillo,
who compares the conduct of Mckinley
with that of Grant, and says that he
believes firmly that all the sane and
respectable elements of the common
wealth will follow suit

RIO eRANDE EARNINGS.
Big Increase Over the Month Of
October

According to a statement recently is
sued. there was gain in the business
of the Denver & Rio Grande for the
month of November of $1SS,O00, as COM
pared with that done for the month
than for any month since the financial
panic of 1893. Usually the month of
November is a good one, owing to the
increase in coal shipments, but this
fall the business from the northwest,
which has come in through the Ore
gon gateway, is the cause of the i'm
mense gain in earnings. The officials
of the road state that it is impossible
to ascertain what per centage of bust
ness lost by the Union Pacific may
be regained, but they believe they will
still continue to do good trade
with the northwest from the Short
line

A Christmas Morning in Antioch.

Scribner's for December: Christmas
day was dawning over Antioch 500
years ago. The curtain of night drew
softly upward along the edge OF the
sky, and the ragged crests of Mount
SiIpius stood outlined with pale light.
In the darker vault of the central
heaven large stars still gllmmered
drowsily. The great city lay half
asleep; but multitudes of Christians,
robed in white garments and bearing
lighted torches in their hands, were
hurrying down the dusky streets to the
basilica of Constantine, to keep the
newly appointed festival of the church,
the birthday Of Christ.

COL. DODGE CoMING.

Visit.

lSlL.
Colonel D. c. Dodge, general manager
of the Rio Grande Western, will ar
rive in the city this morning on his
regular monthly tour of inspection.
There is no special significance attach
ing to the visit, save that perhaps the
question of taking the Utah Central
or not on the 10th may come up and be
talked over. While some say the West
ern will not take up it's option, there
are many who believe the Rio Grande
Western folks do not care to handle
it. as the ore rates which prevail on
the standard guage lines from the Park
are such that a narrow guage, where
loads have to be transferred cannot
compete to any advantage. There are
a few days remaining in which to set
tie this point, however, and Colonel
Dodge may make some announcement
before he goes home

New York, Dec. Sat midnight the

of Madison Square Garden. From
midnight to midnight Miller had put
more than $50 miles behind him. This
marvellous record on tf,.> third day Of
the great race carried him along to a
total of more than 1,200 miles in II
hours, 139 miles ahead of the former
record. During this weary journey
Miller has left the track but for a few
hours With the exception perhaps of
Stephane, the Frenchman, Miller had
up to late in the afternoon less
sleep than any other man on the track.
And Notwithstanding this, Miller is
seemingly in as good condition as he
was yesterday, when experts claimed

NEXT TO MILLER.

The next man to Miller at the present
time is Rice, and he is something Zore
than so miles behind; but he is strong
and seems to have the same determin-
alton that carried him almost to the
front in the big race Of last year. Last
years champion, Teddy Hale, whose
great ride then promises to be far out
done this year, is now making up
ground. He is almost IT'S miles behind
the leader, but nevertheless he has
crept up from tenth place, which he
held last night, to eighth place, and is
certain to go much higher before the
end is reached.
After so hours of what seemed to
Americans to be the fiercest kind of
rivalry, Stephane has given in to Ri
We're, and the latter has put more
than a hundred miles between himself
and his fellow countryman. Indeed,
Rivierre holds a dangerous place in the
front ranks. He is third man in the
race and has a good lead on those be-
