Truth About Cuba.


Congressman-elect Robinson. of
Pennsylvania, who has just returned
from Cuba says:
1T is impossible to get reliable news
from Cuba because of the censorship
exercised over the matter, even private
letters. The cause for which the
Cubans are struggling is the same for
which our fathers fought for in our war
for independence. The Cubans have
no voice in their government and there
is no such thing as jury trial there.
Taxation is unbearable. In 1894 S46,-
900. 900 was wrung from the unfortunate
Cubans and carried to Spain, and the
peasants and farmers are unable to
stand the strain, hence the rebellion.
When the present revolution broke out
Cuba was being taxed to support an
army of II, 900 men, while in reality
there were less than 1000 In the
entire island there is not Cuban or
| foreigner except the Spanish who is
not in sympathy with the revolutionary
movement. The cities are under the
control of the insurgents. The plan Ct
General Weyler is not to subdue the
| Cubans, but to eXterminate them.

NO FEAR OF THE WOLF.
Cleveland and His Cabinet Advisers
Will he Comfortably Fixed


A special 10 the San Francisco Ex-
gramme of the president and mis- cabi-
net is almost settled. Cleveland, after
the 4th of March, will take up the
handling of the fortune he has accumu-
lated in and out Of office, and his secre
tary of war will be with him, as hereto
fore, in al his deals, having his eyes
politically cast toward gubernatorial
honors.
Both Secretary Olney and Attorney
General Harmon will return to the law
practices they have kept tethered safe
II during their time of service with
Cleveland. Secretary Herbert is said
to be slated for good thing in connec-
tion with the Cramps projected ordi-
nance plan.
Carlisle is certain of the future, as q
dozen threads are in his hands, and
any one will lead to a comfortable
berth for life. 1t is thought he will
become general counsel for the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance company at S25, 900
a year.
Morton need have no cares for the
future. He was very wealthy before he
entered Cleveland's cabinet, and while
he has added nothing to his fortune
during his four years in the agricul-
tural department, he still has money
enough to keep him comfortably for
many times his natural term of years
He will 60 back to his farming in Ne
braska, where he will continue to be
thorn in the side of the populists.
Francis. of the interior department.,
will return to the St. Louis wheat
pit.
Postmaster-Gener Wilson, political
ly without future, will be deprived
utterly of the support he has derived
from his place in the house, and hav-
ing been so long divorced from the
active practice of the law. will be in
the worst condition of any of the
cabinet people. Cleveland would like
to do something for Wilson in judi =
cial way, but opportunity lacks. He
may accept the offer he now has under
consideration Of becoming the president
of the Washington and Lee University,
the Oldest institution of learning in the
south.

OUR WOOL INTERESTS.
Legislation at Washington Looking to
Their Speedy Rehabilitation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE wool
manufacturers were well represented
before the ways and means committee
today. S. N. E. North, of Boston, Sec
retary of the national association, rep
sented the views of that body. He said
the association counseled moderation
in fixing rates, and expected only ade-
quate protection such as experience
ad proven was necessary to enable
them to continue and extend the in
dustry. They desired a chance to re-
open their mills, but neither asked nor
desired excessive duties, being convin-
ced that the best interests of both the
wool growing and wool manufacturing
interests would be protected by the en-
actment of conservative and reason
able tariff and that some promise of
permanence would thus exist.
A meeting of the representatives of
the National Woolgrowers' association
held yesterday, at Washington drew
up bill to present to the ways and
means committee. Its features are
embraced in the memorial of the farm
ers' national congress, adopted at In
dianapolis last November, and later
agreed to at the Dec. l meeting. In
brief, it asks congress to impose on
merino wool and woods of the mutton
breeds of sheep unwashed, II cents a
pound; on other woods cents pound:
double duty on all if washed and tre-
BILE if secured. 1t provides the Aus
tralian and similar woods of light |
shrinkage in securing, as shorn in |
native condition, shall be deemed |
washed. Wool in any other than Or
dinary condition of whole feeces shall
be subjected to double duty and defines
what shall be deemed secured wool.
One feature of Importance was added
TO the bill, viz, asking the imposition
If cent year additional duty on the
nerino and mutton wool until the duty
.eaches Is cents per pound.

BAD LADY SCOTT.
A Sensation i'll TOday's Proceedings i'll

Ile Olu bdllcy
LONDON, Jan. THE spectators who
crowded to Old Bailey this morning,
to watch the libel proceedings brought
by Lord Russell against Lady Scott,
were treated to genuine surprise
when Solicitor Walton arose and an
nounced that under the advice of coun-
sci, the defendants withdrew their plea
of justification in uttering the libels
complained of by Earl Russell, and
pleaded guilty as charged. The an
nouncement created profound sensa-
tion.
When the sitting resumed after a
recess, the prisoners were brought in.
Lady Scott was in a highly excitab BILE
condition, but Aylott and Cockerton
maintained an air of unconcern. The
jury rendered formal verdict of gull
ty. and the court announced that sen
tences would be imposed tomorrow.
The case is the sequel to difficulties
existing between Earl Russell and wife
for years. In 1891, Countess Russell,
daughter of Lady Scott, brought suit
against her husband for divorce, max
ing accusations against him of the most
revolving nature. Countess Russell
was not successful in proving the charg-

damaging statements as did two SER
wants. Earl Russell won against his
wife and himself secured the divorce:
then he served on Lady Scott unit
for libel, which he won TODAY

"GOt the Babies Mixed"

To the editor of the Ell PAso DAILY
| HERALD:
SIR:-You state in yesterday issue
that the Rev. Il. G. Morrison, of Lex
ingSon, KY, has been expelled from
the Methodist ministry, and identify
him with the Rev. DR.. H. G. Morrison.
of Nashville. Tenn. You are in error
| in so doing. DR.. Morrison, of Nashville,
is man of good standing in his com
munion, and while 1 was surprised to
hear that in his address here on John
Wesley, last summer, he spoke dispar-
agingly, and unjustifably, of the great
communion which produced the Wes-
leys, still [ would not see az injustice
done him, and therefore ask you to
publish the following from the ''Nash-
vile Banner" of the 2nd inst:
''Dr. Morrison says Fl. G. Morrison,
of Lexington, is not his son as was
reported ed.-Atlanta, Ca, January =
Rev. DR.. II. G. Morrison, of Nashville,
Tenn, who is in the city, denies that
Rev. H. G. Morrison, of Lexington,
KY, who was expelled from the Metho-
dist ministry on charges of iusubordi-
nation, is his son, as has been claimed.
The Kentucky evangelist is not related
to DR.. Morrison, of Nashville"
MAYO CABELL MARTIN.
Rector of ST. Clements Church.
Rector Martin is mistaken. The
HERALD did not mix the babies up.''
The HERALD said that Rev. H. G.
Morrison, of Lexington. KY, was ex-
PEELED from the Methodist ministry for
preaching holiness. which, according
to the Houston Post, from which the
fact was CLEANED, is true. Rev. DIR. II.
G. Morrison, OF Nashville, Tenn, is
another man entirely, and has no con-
nection whatever with the Lexington
Morrison. If, as Mr.. Martin says, Rev.
DIR. Morrison delivered an address last
summer in this city on John Wesley,
the HERALD knows nothing bout such
an address. But it does know of an
address delivered one year ago last
by the Lexington Morrison at
the laying of the Trinity church corner
stone when the topic of the occasion
was the life of John Wesley and the
growth of Methodism. It is true that
the orator of the day was referred 10 in
the report of the ceremony as DR."
But it was in the same spirit that news
paper writer's sometimes refer to a man
as ''colonel' or major or ''judge''
when the party addressed or spoken of
has not just call to be thus addressed.
If the plimentary reference thus
made got the good rector mixed up as
to the who and the which of the two
the HERALD reporter was
TO blame. However. in justice to the
1t must be said that he had at
that time never heard of the Nashville
Doctor Morrison. Similarity in names
has led to confusion before.
