DISAPPOINTED CUBANS.

Ing In the evacuation demonstrations.
. Yesterday q deputation consisting of
DIR. Juan Ofarrio, FREDERICK Mora. An
gelo Cowley, Emilio Nunez and Alfredo
Zayas waited upon General Ludlow to
ask whether no portion of the program
might be carried out. GeGsral Nunez.
acting as the spokesman OF the depu-
tation, handed General Ludlow a writ
ten copy Of program Of six days fes-
tivities. 1t provided for the following:
On the first day. a general ringing Of
bells; on the second parade of Gu
ban soldiers, followed by dinner; on
the third. a civic procession; on the
fourth, public assemblages and speech;
on the fifth. a carnival on the sixth,
races between the American men-of.
wars boats. The program called for
fireworks and music every night.
Senior Cowley argued that General
Ludlow need not fear disorder. He said
that the people who had long been op-
pressed merely wished an opportunity
for public rejoicing and as the Amer
leans were going to demonstrate the
Cubans wished to participate.
General Ludlow, who was very polite
to the deputation, asked them to leave
the program with him, and promised
to give the matter careful considera-
tion. After the deputation had with
drawn he conferred with General
Brooke, and 1t was decided that 1t
would be wiser to not allow any public
manifestations on the part of the Gu
bans.
The patriotic committees held an
other meeting last night. DR.. Porto, of
the Havana Medical Board, said to a
press correspondents:
I'VE have expended more than $10,-
900 in our arrangements for the celebra-
tion. 1t was very difficult to get this
money, and we keenly feel the in
justice of not being told long ago that
we could not celebrate. Our demonstra-
ton would be quite as much an Amer
lean as Cuban affair. AS 1t is we feel
that the United States military au-
thorities do not trust u.s."

There is no intention or disposition Cn
the part of the church TO violate or
depart from it in the future. The en-
abing act required provision in the
constitution of the state of Utah that
polygamous or plural marriages should
be forever prohibited. Laws have been
framed in support OF this constitutional
amendment Heavy penalties are pro-
vided for in case of their violation.
"The election of Mr.. b. II. Roberts
to the office Of representative in con-
gress from Utah was an entirely secu-
lar affair. Men Mormons participated
in his nomination in the regular con-
vention of his party. Non -Mormons
also aided in his election. Many Nor
mons, not being of his party, voted for
his opponent. He was elected as an
American citizen by American citizens,
and the question of religion did not
enter into the purely political contest.
The church has nothing to do with the
action of congress in relation to his
seat.
IF, however, notice Is to be taken of
the wild statements and anti Mormon
EXAMINATIONS in the pulpit and the press
to the effect that Mr.. Roberts has vio-
lated state legislation and the require
ment o. the enabling act 1t Is proper for
me to state, as / do most positively,
that The charge, which incidentally af-
fects the church of which we are both
members is entirely without founda-
tion In fact If he should be unseated
the result as to polygamy would he no
different. There have been no polyga-
nous marriages since 1890. There is no
movement in the church for the revival
of such unions. I am personally op-
posed to any such change. My asso-
clates in the leadership of the church
unite with me in this determination.

= J, HAWAII'S GOVERNMENT. !
A Sharp Contest VIII Occur in tho
House Over the RiII

A Sharp Contest VIII Occur in tho
House Over the Bill.
Washington, Dec. 30.--A sharp con.
test will occur in the house over this
legislation for the government of Ha-
wall as the majority and minority OF
the committee on territories do not
agree as to the form of bill. Neither
do the majority agree with the report
Of the senate committee on foreign rela-
tions, although the differences are not
such as to cause great difficulty. The
majority report of the house committee
changes the bill introduced by Mr.. Hit
only slightly, with the exception Of the
qualifications for senators and repre-
sentatlves. The property qualifica-
tions are stricken out and any citizen
who is voter and has been a resident
of Hawaii for three years is eligible.
Those who were citizens of Hawaii on
Aug. 12, 1898. are made citizens of the
United States. One house will not be
allowed to constitute the legislature in
case the other adjourns, nor will it be
necessary to have the sanction of three
members to introduce a bill In the leg-
islature. The delegate to congress shall
possess the same qualifications as q
voter. Bonds issued on the credit Of
the public domain shall be payable in
not less than five nor more than Is
years. One years residence must bo
proved to obtain divorce.
The minority report was prepared by
Mr.. ii. B. Ferguson, delegate from
New Mexico. 1t declares:
1T is important to emphasize tn,
fact that new territory as acquired
should be governed as other territories
of the United States have been from the
foundation of the government, with the
view to ultimate admission to state
hood. Upon this theory we believe tina.
Hawaii should be given substantially
the same form of government as has
been in other territories Of the United
States.
I'VE also object to the proberty quali-
flcation for members of the senate or
the legislature of Hawaii This is an
recognizing by law the right
Of wealth to govern. and is certainly
a dangerous tendency in republic al
ready threatened by the too great
power Of concentrated wealth."

Their Employers Bidding.
New York, Dec. 3O.-David Roths-
rhilds was arrested yesterday on q war;
rant sworn out at the instance of the
Central National bank. According to
the complaint. Rothschlds was the
head OF the firm Of r. Rothschilds &
Sons, which until recently conducted a
large clothing business in Cleveland,
o. On May y, 1897, Rothschilds visited
the Central National bank and offered
note signed by the firm for S. 00O pay
able Sept. u Of that year, for dis
count He made statement that the
firm had liabilities of about $4,000, but
possessed assets Of three times that
sum. He also gave the bank as Sc
curity about 20 promissory notes of
customers In sums averaging from $10O
to $500, which the bank saN' ROths-
childs claimed were secured by chattel
mortgages Their total was $6o5O.
When the $1,000 note became due In
September of last year r. Rothschlds
& Sens assigned, but the Central bank.
with the $500 of notes, felt safe. As
fast as the notes became due the firm
sent them out for collection, but the
banks reported they could not find the
drawer of the paper.
After search however. John Enrick
was finally located in the Chicago
stock yards, where he was employed
as driver lie stated that he had
formerly worked for the Rothschilds
concern, and that David Rothschilds
told him to sign his name to about 20
Eotes. Just what they We're, he said
he did not know and did not care, as
he knew, having no means. no one
could make him pay the notes. Emrick
also stated that Harry Golden. W. Lei
and Lewis Cook, also employed by the
hiin, made about the same number as
he did. Later the Central National
bank located Lei, who corroborated the
statement made by Emrick. Other men
employed by the firm also made sim
liar admission
When arraigned in court yesterday
Rothschilds declined to make state
ment further than to say that he knew
nothing about any swindiing, and it
was simply an effort TO induce or
frGhten him into paying the debt con-
tracted by firm that had made an
assignment and was in the hands of
an assignee. The police say about
100000 of the RothschlJs paper was
iioated in New York. Roihscllilds was
