he left his cottage to go to nearby

Sanguilly Not q Traitor.

New York, Dec. 17.-General Julio
SanguiIly, instead of being traitor, as
recent reports from Havana would in
dictate, returns to the island at once in
obedience to the commands of his
chief, General Gomez. This state
ment is made on the authority Of a
physician, Cuban, who stands high
among the members Of the junta in
this country.
Sanguilly is in Washington, where
it is said he will call on Secretary
Sherman and renounce his American
citizenship in order to absolve himself
from the pledge he gave when the Sec
rotary secured his release from Span
ish prison, that he would not again
take up arms against Spain.

KEPT IN IGNORANCE
Cuban Soldiers Do Not Know
Text of Spain's Terms.
Insurgept Chiefs Are Fully Determined
to Hold tho Army Together
at whatever Cost.

New York, Dec. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: Inc
Cuban leaders in the field are adopting
every possible method to prevent even
the thin edge of the wedge of autonomy
from entering their ranks. They not
only absolutely refuse to discuss auton-
omy themselves, but they are deter
mined in their efforts not to allow
Spain's offers of self-government to be
laid before the insurgent troops. All
emissaries who dare to carry the olive
branch to the field are hanged ii
caught Seventy per cent of the rebel
soldiers are kept in ignorance OF the
liberal terms offered by Spain.
There is reason for this reticence On
the part of the Cuban chiefs. There
ara rebels and there are subordinate
rebel officers who are tired OF war and
its accompanying hardships, and who
would lay down their arms II liberal
home rule was guaranteed. There are
not many of these, it is true, but some,
and their desertion would have far
reaching moral effect. General Gomez
and his generals realize this, and hence
will tolerate no consideration of auton-
omy.
1t is asserted that this attitude on
the part of Gomez and ether leaders ac-
counts in measure for the mystery
surrounding the recent meeting OF the
Cuban assembly to elect a president
and other officials. There is circum-
stantial evidence at hand to prove the
news published last September OF Senior
Capots election as president was cor
rect. After acting for three months
Senior Capot was replaced by Senior
Masso, because the former was a man
of peace and a far-seeing lawyer, and
as such might be inclined to listen to
proposals of autonomy.

Meeting to Consider the Corbett Case
Postponed.
Washington, Dec. 16.-The meeting
of the senate committee on privileges
and elections, which was called for to-
day to consider the application OF Hon.
II. w. Corbett, to be seated as senator
from Oregon, was postponed to future
date upon the call of the chairman.
Senator Chandler. who is chairman
Of the committee, announced the SUBJ
stitution of Senator Turley for Senator
Faulkner, as member of the commit
tee, as the reason for the postponement.
He said it was probable that no meet
ing would be held until after the holt
days, as Mr.. Turley is unfamiliar with
the facts in the case.
The house today, after session OF
about two hours, adjourned out OF SYM
pathy for the president, whose mother
was buried at Canton this afternoon.
The time of the session was devoted to
consideration of the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill. 1t
was uoClutu W pOctPOhO o"0iNo-
of the item providing for-the malnten-
ance of the civil service commission
until after the other features OF the bill
had been considered It was apparent
from the remarks made today that the
subject would be exhaustively debated.
There is seemingly no disposition to
curtail the. discussion, and it probably
will not be concluded before the holt
day recess. So absorbing is the topic
that almost the entire time today, de-
spite the fact that the consideration OF
the question had been technically post
poned, was consumed in the debate
upon it.
The senate, after brief session. on
motion of Hoar, adjourned out of re-
spect to the president. No business
was transacted beyond the introduction
of bills and resolutions.

BO0f0 Oh lT6Qc OkOkcISp 49, -
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.l
Light speculation was the dominating
factor in the wheat market last week.
It's force was felt more keenly than at
any time since prices left 81 cents f1ve
months ago. The bear element IS
working on the idea that all the bullish
influences have been discounted by the
advance in prices Of So cents from the
low point in the spring. Wheat that
cleared last week was all bought 9
month or more ago. and prices were adj
vanced at the time. Now that the
stuff is moving out, the bulls think
that prices should continue to go up,
because the stuff is being delivered to
the buyers. The latter are not taking
hold as freely, but export sales during
the week were heavy. For three
months the market has backed and
filled around 90 cents for May, getting
cents above it recently, and has been
2 cents below it. The bears have been
unable to maintain break for more
than day or two below 80 cents. De-
cember sold ~ cents to II cents
premium over May. The position OF
the bulls and their intention are as
much of a puzzle as ever. They stand
ready to pay for 5,OO0,0 600 bushels Of
wheat, and are very liable to get it be-.
fore the first of the year. Elevator
people, however, are not disposed to
make any deliveries until navigation is
closed, as they want to keep the wheat
in their houses. The Letter party have
from 5000, 900 to 7,0OO,O 900 bushels
bought. There are also scattered lines
that will reach above 1900, 900 bushels
held by parties outside of the pool.
The claim is made that there is no
shortage, except on the part of the ele-
vator people. The latter have been
bringing wheat down from Duluth. 1t
is deal that no one except rich men
can afford to be in. The bulls claim
that the wheat brought down from the
Northwest by the elevator people has
not shown any profit. If such is the
case, it seems rather strange that two
such shrewd business men as Armour
and Weare should, be SO actively engaged
in it. Government report gives crop of
winter and spring wheat at $50, 600. 900
bushels. Visible supply of wheat de-
creased 1O1, 900 bushels, and now totals
81, 744 bushels.
