TO SUPPORT CUBAN RELLIGERANCY.
Senator's From the North and South
ON the Question.

Washington, May T7.-An enthusiastic
audience of men and women, many Of
them well known In Washington, pack
ed Columbia theater yesterday afteroon
at a monster mass meeting held in behalf
Of the Cuban insurgents. The theater was
appropriately decorated. Seated on the
platform and participating in the exer-
cises were Senators Gallinger and Allen,
ex-senator Butler Of South Carolina, Rev.
Hugh Johnson, pastor of the Metropoli-
tan Methodist church, Rev. WILDER 1nnis
and many others identified with the in
terests of the insurgents. General Will
liam Henry Brown. president of the Gu
ban league, called the meeting to order
and introduced Senator Gallinger as pre-
siding officer. The latter made a brief ad-
dress, and read number of letters and
kilograms Of regret, among them being
those from Senators Frye and Burrows
and Commander Clarkson of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Ex-senator Butler Of South Carolina
read series of resolutions which had
been prepared, and these We're unanimous
ly adopted. They earnestly protested
against the barbarous and inhuman
methods" Of Spain in conducting war in
Cuba, declaring that this government
should recognize the insurgents as bellig-
erents and that Cuba had demonstrated
that it was her manifest destiny that, like
Mexico, she should be free and independ-
ent without the payment to Spain of any
Indemnity.
In the course Of his remarks Senator AL
len humorously declared there was no li-
vision in the populist ranks on the ques-
ton of Cuban liberty. In this whole mat
ter he thought there had been too much
sacrifice to the spirit of commercialism,
and it was time this government had
little more humanity and a little more
Americanism.
Senator Chandler sent a letter of SYM
pathy and hope for the relief and inde-
pendence of Cuba

DEPUTY sHERIFFs TOO QUICK.
Prisoners We're Saving the Bars in
Two When Caught

Spokane, May 1S.-Early yesterday
morning Deputy Joseph Murphy the night
watch at the county Jail detected a slight
noise coming from one of the apartments
Which contain the cages. He started on
tour OF inspection and the noise ceased.
ABOUT 4 o'clock the noise began again.
Ihe sound was as if some one was saving
d polt. oheflH Dempsey was summoned
and as soon as he became ACQUAINTED with
the facts started to investieate tha
sounds. With several deputies he visited
every part of the Jail and each cell was
separately searched, together with the in
mates.
On the first floor directly facing the
Jailor's desk and leading into the main
corridor is the apartment occupied by
Geo. Webster. the murderer of Mrs. Asp
land; Kline. the Indian forger, sentenced
to 10 years: Murray and King, sentenced
TO three years each. and Frank Marvin

When this part was searched the noise
was accounted for. One of the hinges on
the IRON window looking out on to the
jan yard had been partly sawed off. A
lew days more labor without discoyrri-
would have been sufficient to liberate the
prisoners. From the window the iaii
yard could be reached and then it would

and reach the street and liberty.

penalty for their failure to do so being
fixed at annihilatio1l of every Piute the
miners could reach.
Eight Years ago a brother of Ahvcte
who few days ago murdered several
white men, killed a mail rider The
whites demanded that the murderer be
killed, and Ahvote was ordered by the
tribe to kill him and bring back conviac-
Ing proof that he had executed the order
He brought in one toe and IA part of an
ear but the whites said he must bring
better proof. Two days afterward he
brought the head of his brother
Since that time Ahvote has been morose
and sullen, and he lived apart from his
tribe. Three days ago he took a rifle and
killed Lars Franzen and Ben Jones' team
sters; Christen Nelson and Charles Mon
Afghan, miners; Judge G. M. Martin, an
assayer and mill man, known all over the
coast: John Powers and w. Connolly,
well-to-do mine owners. and three other
men, names unknown. The killings We're
all cold-blooded butcher,es
The miners congregated in Eldorado
canyon and told the Piutes that If they
did not bring in or kill Ahvote they would
kill every Piute they could reach. Six
Piutes Immediately took the trail and fol-
lowed it to the places where his victims
We're killed. From side to side of the Col
orado river went Ahyote on his Pilgrim
age Of murder. The Indians followed MIN
down the river. found where he had made
his last landing, and trailed him ten miles
up the canyon into the mountains, where
they crept up and shot him as he was go
ing over the range. An Indian went to
the river and signaled John Appel who
was going down the stream in a boat with
the body of a young man. to come ashore
He tied up his boat and went with the
Indians and viewed the body Of Ahvote.
The board of supervisors Of Mojave
county, Arizona, offered a reward of $3.50
each for Ahvote and Mouse who mur-
dered Davis and Stearns last February.
Over 100 white men and Indians Joined
in the chase of the murderer. Tele-
graphic advices from White Kills state
that Is armed Piute Indians came into
town this evening and made threats that
il the whites molested them they would
do something desperate. The sheriff at
tempted to disarm them, but only got
one gun. Three Indians We're placed under
arrest, and the others left town. It is
feared they will kill many men in the
hills who are unarmed, and a posse may
go after them in the morning.

Peace Proposals Submitted.

Constantinople, May 1S-The ambassa-
dors of the powers held a prolonged con-
ference today, at the close of which they
presented to the Turkish government a
collective memorandum proposing an ar
mistice between Turkey and Greece on the
basis of the negotiations for peace now
In progress through the powers. The
memorandum, which was presented to
Ahmed Tewtik Pasha, the Turkish min
lister Of foreign affairs, by the dean Of
the diplomatic corps, Baron de Calice, the
Austro-Hungarian minister, enumerates
the conditions which have been accepted
by Greece, and begs the porte to issue
the necessary orders to arrest the pro-
gress of the Turkish troops.
In the meantime the Turks are ad-
vancing toward Greece, Edhem Pasha's S
original orders being to march on Ath-
ems. Uneasiness prevails here on the
subject of peace negotiations. 1t is fear
ed the reported conditions will render
agreement difficult and cause further
complication 1t is expected that Russia
may propose concessions to the Macedo-
mans. The director of the Dutch bank
at Berlin is expected here shortly with
proposals to reorganize Turkish finances,
conclude a loan and secure railway con-
CeSSiOnS.

In Thessaly the official reports are not

President Mckinley md Judge Day
Listen to nm Unofficial Report.
Washington, HAY ii.-President Mck1n-
lev devoted two hours yesterday to an
unofficial report on the Cuban situation
by Edwin T. Atkyns of Boston, who has
extensive sugar plantations in Cuba and
who has just returned from the island.
Atkyns is a warm personal friend of Sec
rotary Long who today accompanied him
to the White house. The president sent
for Judge Day, the assistant secretary OF
state, and the distinguished trio for two
hours listened to Atkyrs' exposition of
the Cuban situation, as indicated by the
military operations and with relation TO
the American interests on the island.
During the conference all visitors We're
excluded, many senators and representa-
tivcs being denied admission.
1t is not known what AtkynS SAID 10
the president, but there is reason to be-
lieye his representations favored the IN
surgcnts. Atkyns, during the early part
Of the war, was inclined to take Il pro-
Spanish side of the controversy, but II
is asserted that he is now convinced the
interests of the island demand the VIC
tory of the insurgents.
The president is gathering. all the IN
formation obtainable on the Cuban Fles-
ton, and in light of this and the report
Of Calhoun, now in Havana, will decide
on course of action.
