TWO HARBoRs ALIKE.
The topography OF Cienfuegos and
Santiago de Cuba is almost identical.
Both harbors are about six miles long,
with narrow entrances about 800 yards
wide, and protected by highlands. A
whole fleet could lie in the harbor Of
either place and be invisible from the
outside.
After his experience at Cienfuegos II
Is probable that Commodore Schley was
very conservative in deciding whether or
not he had caught Admiral Cervera.
From the tone OF his dispatch, II is evil
dent that the Commodore soon gained
much secondhand and external evidence
which pointed to Admiral Cervera's pres
ence in the inner harbor This evidence
was apparently strong enough TO make
the Commodore feel certain the object
OF his trip had been accomplished. but In
view of his previous experience. he would
not risk a decisive statement until after
ascertalning the fact for himself. Be-
fore this dispatch is published. 1t Is like
ly that Commodore Schley has sent some
vessel into the entrance OF the harbor
OF Santiago de Cuba, or has obtained
from a reliable source ashore information
as to the exact number OF the Spanish
warships sheltered by the hills about that
place.
SANTIAGO POORLY PROTECTED.
Contrary to the generally expressed
opinion. the harbor OF Santiago de Cuba
Is poorly protected. Like Habana and
San Juan de Porto Rico. II has its MORO
Castle. which is even better target tnan
the Morros OF Habana and San Juan. The
only danger 10 be feared Is from the mines
which have been laid In the channel OF
siuca ths Xas Yas declared.

CLUB HOUSE WITH DRINKS
To Be Established Across the Street
From Garfield Park.

A so-called "swelr' clubhouse, with
drinks of all kinds, a lunch and other ac-
cessories is being planned for location
known as James park.
The land belongs to T. NJ. James OF
North Topeka, and while he is not the
only one who is into the scheme, he IS
helping along the boom and will have a
hand in helping to erect the building
The plans of Mr.. James and those in
terested with him have not yet been ma
tured and few people know who is push
ing the proposed building, but Mr.. James
says that several well known travelling
men are working with him to secure a
first class clubhouse on the banks of Sol
der creek.
In discussing the matter Mr.. James said:
THE travelling men have no place to en-
joy themselves in Topeka and consequent
ly they go to Kansas City or somewhere
else to spend their Sundays. What we
propose to do is to build clubhouse with
a limited membership where those who
are members may go and enjoy them
selves. The place will be eminently re-
spectacle. would not tolerate anything
else, and there will be rowdyism. The
membership will be carefully selected"
The building will probably be a two
story structure with lunch and billiard
rooms upstairs.
VIM this supply Garfield park with ex-
hilarated gentlemen on Sundays? If it
does it will destroy it as a resort. None
OF the Kansas City parks have drinking
resorts within three miles.

EMMA KELLY HURT.
Her Eskimo Dogs Run Away Injur-
ing Her Severely-Letter
Trif1ed With

Information of an accident to Miss
Emma Kelly was contained in a letter
received by her parents in this city to-
day. AT the time of writing she stated
that she was recovering from the eff
fectS of the fall and would be well be-
fore the letter reached Topeka She in
closed receipt from Thos. Fawcett,
gold commissioner, for the payment of
SIS as the entrance fee to a claim seven
miles from Dawson City. If the claim
proves to be valuable when tested, Miss
Kelly means to make arrangements for
working it.
In her letter Miss Kelly asks her par
ents to advise all Kansas young men
who are thinking of going to Klondike,
to stay at home. She says that Dawson
City is full of gambling houses, saloons
and low resorts, and that the most SEN
sational stories of early mining days OF
Colorado could be applied to the princ1-
pal city of the Klondike territory.
Miss Kelly will probably remain at
Dawson City until next September.
When the letter was received by her
parents this morning, 1T was open at
one end, and as Miss Kelly states that
$3.50 is Enclosed, and there was neither
draft or money in the envelope, both
Mr. and Mrs. Kelly are inclined to the
belief that the letter was robbed. The
end of the letter shows no signs of hav-
ing worn open, but looks as if it had
been opened by cutting with scissors.

LIQUOR IN BIG STORES.
Gen. Tracy Argues Against the Bill
Prohibiting Its Sale in Bottles.

Albany, April 12-Gen. Benjamin F.
Tracy appeared before Governor Black
today in opposition to Senator Pages
bill prohibiting the sale of liquor in bot
ties by department stores. Gen. Tracy
asserted that the bill was uncOnStitu-
tional and not within the police power
of the state. Its effect would be to pro-
hibit the sale of liquor in country stores,
though it was pretended to be aimed at
department stores. He said he was sat-
isfied that the bill would not receive ex-
ecutiVe sanction, as it was unjust
discrimination against certain lines of
business just as innocent as the lines
not affected. Mr.. Tracy appeared for
the Siegel-CoOper company of New
York city. The other appearance against
the bill from New York city included
E. w. Bloomingdale of Bloomingdale
Brothers and Jacob Schoolhouse of
Ludwig Brothers.
Morris Tekulsky, Stephen ]. O'Hare,
and Franklin Waldron, representing the
liquor interests, appeared in favor of
the bill, as did a committee headed by
L. J. Callahan of the Retail GrOcers' as
ISOLATION of New York. Mr.. O'Hare
said that the purpose of the bill was to
put stop to the drinking habit, which
has been on the increase among some
of the women patrons of department
stores in New York city, which sell Ii
quorS in bottles in small quantities to
their patrons, who drink it on the prem
ises in the retiring rooms. The COVER
nor took no action

WILD EXPENDITURE.
County Comm issioners Actually
Waste 40 or so Cents on Court
House Grounds.

The county commissioners ordered some
barbed wire put up around the southwest
corner of the court house grounds to pre-
vent people from crossing the blue grass
that is expected to grow there this spring
and Janitor Lee WoodaH worked the
greater part of Monday night putting it
up.
fixed to suit the fancy of Commissioner
Rodgers one or two attorneys noticed the
Improvement
Don't you know that you have vioIat-
ed the city ordinances by building barbed
wire fence along the street and aney?'
said they.
Commissioner Rodgers looked confused
and said that he did not.
well, it is, and we have a notion to
have you arrested
Commissioner Rodgers asked for an
armistice and it was granted, and the wire
was taken down. Mr.. Rodgers says that
smooth wire will be put up in its place,
but it is doubtful if the expenditure of
so much money for improvements of the
court house grounds will be tolerated.

1T WAS A DAMPENER.
The Message Cools the Ardor at Key
West.

Key West, April 1.-THE feeling of
uncertainty which prevailed here ended
to considerable degree with the pre-
sentation of the presidents message to
congress, previous to which, the feel
ing was strong that a definite breach
between Spain and the United States
was unavoidable.
Apart from the great interest taken
in the message and the speculation as
to the action of congress on the subject,
the situation is entirely uneventfuL The
greatest war fleet ever assembled in
American waters still lies distributed
about the harbor, with steam up, ready
and eager to swoop down upon the enc
my at the nations command.
During the past few days there have
been fewer naval men ashore than eV-
er before, it being evident that every
step has been taken to ensue a quick
movement upon the part of the war
ships should the long expected and
eagerly awaited order be flashed from
Washington.
Every possible preparation here has
been completed and all eyes are, fig
uratively speaking, turned on Havana.

KANSAS STANDS AT 1O1
In the Government Estimate of Win
ter Wheat Condition.

Washington, April 12.-The report OF
the department of agriculture for April
1 makes the average condition of win
ter wheat Sc against 81.4 last April and
III on April 1, 1896 The leading winter
wheat states report averages as fol-
lows: pennsylvania, 90; Ohio, 80;
Michigan "; Indiana, IS; Illinois, rs;
Missouri, 81; Kansas 1O1; California,
g.
The average condition of winter rye
is 92.1 against $50 on April 1, 1897 and
S29 on the corresponding date in 1886
There are rev sections of the country
from Wnlch a very satisfactory report
as to the condition has not been re-
ceived, the winter over very large
part OF the country having been mild
and dry. The lowest average from
important wheat states are those of IL
inois and California, rs and 81 respect
lively.
The mortality of farm animals, both
from exposure and from other causes,
mas been below that of the preceding
winter, or horses per cent are report
ed as having died from disease against
Il per cent the previous year; of cattle
a mortality OF 1-3 per cent from winter
exposure, and of 3.3 per cent from all
causes IS reported as against 1-6 per
cent from exposure and 3.5 per cent
from all causes the preceding winter;
of sheep the deaths from exposure
amounted to 81 per cent against 80
per cent the previous year and 5-3 per
cent from all causes against So per cent
the previous year
While hog cholera has been more or
less destructive, the total loss of swine
has amounted only to 9.3 per cent
against LA per cent the preceding
year With regard to farm animals in
general the department correspondents
report them in good condition S the re-
suit of generally mild and dry winter
and the abundance of feed. In Cali
fornia the winter has been a severe one
and its effect is shown just as marked
ly in the mortality of farm animals as
in the poor condition of winter wheat.

THEY CAN'T AGREE.
Republican Members of thea House
Foreign Relations Committee
at Variance.

Washington, April 1.-THE Republic
an members of the house foreign af-
fairs committee held a session all yes
terday afternoon to map out a definite
Cuban policy, but were totally unable
to reach an agreement. 1t is under
stood that many of the members whose
views heretofore have been pronounced
in favor of independence and interven-
ton, at this informal meeting, an
nounced almost complete change of po-
sition. These, it is understood include
Representative Adams (Pa~), now act
ing chairman of the committee, and
Representative Quigg On. W.
The meeting was very stormy and
some exciting discussions occurred
The most pronounced sentiment in the
committee in favor of immediate inter-
vention and the recognition of indie
pendence from Spanish rule was voiced
by Representatives Pearson On. CO;
William Alden Smith (Mich.); Heat
wole CMinn), and Gillette (Masso
There were numerous resolutions draft
ed and offered for the action of the
committee, as different in character and
wording as there were members pres
ent. But there was no action beyond
the formulation, submission and dis
cuSSion. The nearest success at agree
ment was made in the consideration of
a resolution by Mr.. Henry 1nd.), for
immediate intervention and the eStab-
ishment of a stable government by the
choice of the people of Cuba, and an
other by Mr. smith (Mlcn-), TOT lfnne-
date Intervention, the expulsion of
Spain from the island and the forma-
ton of a government by the people of
Cuba.
The steering committee of nine elect
ed by the conference of the Republican
Cuban sympathizers in the house met
and appointed a special committee of
three to ascertain the position of the
two foreign committees in congress.
The committee consists of Representa-
tives JOY (Mo.), Tawney (NIinn.), and
Lorimer Oll.). Their instructions were
to ascertain what the committee of both
houses proposed to do and then report
for the consideration of the conference.
The full foreign affairs committee of
the house will meet today, when the
presidents message will be taken up.
1t il probable that the special COM
mittee will have decided what it shall
report to the Cuban conference. There
are about six Republican representa-
tives who have participated in these
conferences, and one of their leaders
represented the majority in saying that
they favored immediate armed inter
vention and declaration that the Gu
ban people should and Of right ought
to be independent of Spanish rule.

WOMEN IN A POOL ROOM.
Many of Them Arrested, Two With
Babies in Their Arms.

Chicago, April ia score of richly
attired women, two of whom had ba-
bies in their arms, were arrested yes
terday afternoon, charged with gamb-
ling in a pool room in the open Board
of Trade building in Pacific avenue. In
spite of tears and entreaties Is of them
were taken in the patrol wagons to the
Harrison street police station and book
ed on charges of gambling. Freedom
was given the two who carried infants,
as they screamed and begged when the
wagons arrived until the officers feared
they would go into Mysteries.
The raid on room 81 was the cause of
the excitement and terror that bordered
on panic Betting on horse races was
at it's height. When officer Early de-
clared the occupants of the room under
arrest the women rushed wildly to the
two doors at the hallway, but found at
each exit two other detectives. The Of
ficers were surrounded by the frighten-
ed women, who tearfully begged for lib
erty. Some screamed without ceasing,
and attracted a crowd to the doors.
They were in custody two hours before
bail was furnished for all in $500 each
by Daniel CoughIin, the Clark street
saloon keeper.

the Liberty party, the Democrats, the
Anti onopolists, and the eight hour
a day. men, to say nothing of sub-di-
visions of each.
The candidate for the congress nom
nation of this heterogeneous group of
statesmen in the First district is the
Hon. John ]. ingalls,, and it appears
that in the Second district arrange
ments are now well under way for the
nomination of John P. st. John, Prohi-
bition candidate for president in 1884,
and former governor of Kansas, the
plan seeming to be to take up the Sc
lection of candidates in the numerical
order of the congress districts. Who
will be the nominee in the Third district
where Botlxin of Populist distinction
was the standard bearer of the fusion
lists in 1896, does not yet appear; but
in the Fourth, the Topeka district, PEI
fer, who was United States senator
from 1891 to 1897, may now get a nomi-
NATION to the house. The Sixth district
is now represented by a Populist, VIM
Baker of Lincoln, and the Seventh
would have been represented by Pop
ulist, too, had the Hon. jeremiah Simp-
son of Medicine Lodge not been defeat
ed by about 1000 votes by another res
ident of the same Kansas metropolis,
Congressman Long, the present repre-
sentative.
The two statesmen of Medicine Lodge
know what il is to be opposed to each
other as congress candidates in the Sew
enth district of Kansas. Simpson de-
feated Long in 1892 and Long defeated
Simpson in 1896. Simpsons election
over Long in 1898 might be accepted as
an act of just political retribution. This
would leave but one of the seven dis
tricts in the Sunf1ower state, the Fifth,
without a candidate, but it was the
Fifth district which elected John Davis
of Junction City in 1892, and if Junction
City hasn't candidate already for the
fusion combine, it is sure to get one, if
White Rock or Blue Rapids doesn't put
is an earlier claim.

RATHER PACIFIC
Was the Way the Message. Struck
Commodore Schley's officers.

Fort Monroe, Va, April 12.-The con-
tents of the presidents message or the
Cuban question were received with
much interest here, particular salts
faction being shown by the officers of
the flying squadron with the portion re-
latine to SPANS responsibility for the
destruction of the Maine. The tone of
the message was considered rather pa
cific in so far as it advocated a trial of
the proposed armistice. The prepara-
tions for active work went on without
cessation Nearly all the officers of the
fleet succeeded in getting their personal
effects, such as trinkets, pictures and
citizens clothes packed and shipped for
home.
The various boats took on extra
stores of canned and boxed goods and
all the ammunition has been taken
