ment does not contemplate the recog-
milton Of the Cuban insurgents and the
government established by Maceo, Gar
cia and Gomez, which now exercises
Jurisdiction over a considerable por-
tion Of the island and has for its presi-
dent an honorable and patriotic Gu
ban, MIR. Masso. They have earned
this recognition from US. and it should
not be grudging1y given, If extended at
all. Those who have opposed Cuba
from the first are now endeavoring to
dictate the policy to be pursued by the
United States, and / hope they will
fail The wrong remedy would be
worse than nothing, and shall not be
party to any action which does not
contemplate absolute independence
from Spanish rule"
Of the foreign affairs committee, said
that the views and. purposes Of the
Cuban junta did not seem to him to
have any relation to- the obligations of
the United States government " So far
as my action as one representative Is
concerned" said Mr.. Quigg, lit will
not be determined from the point Of
view of the interests of the Cuban
junta. l am not sending American citi-
zens off to be shot at in order to give
value to the junta's issues Of bonds.
If my vote Is finally given in favor Of
a war against Spain, the ruling con-
sideration with me will be the inter-
ests of the American people. I do not
think the time has come to recognize
a political status in Cuba, or to declare
for or against any existing combina-
ton of persons as a government there
We should, however, declare the people
Of Cuba to be independent of the gov
ernment Of Spain, and, If necessary,
think we should employ our land and
naval forces to give validity to our
declaration

A. R. Kiefer was born in Germany, where
he received his early education. He came to
st. Paul in 1856, and two years later began
his career Of continuous Office holding by Sc
curing the position of collector and inspector
of the wharf. which was at the time a lucra-
tive plumb and important office in the affairs
of the city. After two years as wharf master,
Mr.. Kiefer sought and received the position
of enrolling clerk of the house Of representa-
fivas.
When the Civil war broke out Mr.. Kiefer
entered the army in command of Company
G, Second Minnesota infantry and served un-
til the fall of 1863, when he was appointed and
acted for some time as provost marshal at
Tyrune, Tenn. Upon his return to St Paul
he received the honorary title of colonel of
the Thirty-frst regiment 1.-the state militia.
With a sharpened appetite for Office, he Sc
cured the nomination for state representative
in 1864 and was elected to the lower house: In
1877 the coIonels capacity for holding Office
accommodated itself to the acceptance" of
the remunerative position Of clerk Of the dis
trict court for Ramsey county, an office which
he held six years. 80
The spring of 1888 again saw Mr.. Kiefer q
candidate for public Office and emolument,
when he received the Republican and Union
Labor nominations for mayor, but owing to
the strength of the Democratic party and GER
The Saint Paul globe., 1898-04-07

tain defeat Mr. Kiefer declined to make the
-.aG.
Two years later Mr.. Kiefer consented to be-
come candidate for mayor, and was nomi-
mated by the Republican party. On the eve
of the primary battle those who had rallied
to Mr.. Kiefer's support were chagrined at
his sudden withdrawal from the fight.
Mr.. Kiefer sought the congressional nomi-
nation in his district in 1892 and was elected
to the national house of representatives. He
secured a denomination two years later and
served second term as United States repre-
sentative.
Since the expiration of his term in the ma
tional house Mr.. Kiefer has spent his time
seeking any Office the government might be
induced to bestow upon him. After a vain
hunt for the position of United States COM
missioner of immigration he has been willing
to accept any good job the government had.
Always ready to serve the people, Mr.
Kiefer became successful candidate before
yesterdays convention.
- Mr.. Kiefer is member of the Grand Army
of the Sons of Herman, the Order of Druids
the Loyal Legion and the Ancient Order of
United Workmen. During his infrequent pc
riods of relief from public Office within the
last forty years he has engaged in the real
estate business.

Members of Congress Discuss the

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The state
ment of Mr. Rubens. Of New York,
counsel for the Cuban junta, excited
considerable interest among the menl-
bers of the house.
Mr.. Henry Qnd.). a member of the
foreign affairs committee, said he car
ed nothing about the views of the jun
ta. He favored the independence of the
people Of the island from Spanish do
minion, but he did not believe it wise
to recognize a government which he
had no knowledge existed except on
paper.
Mr.. Berry Oem., Ky.), member Of
the foreign affairs committee, declined
to credit the statement, but added: eff
it is true, there are probably some
bonds Of some interests the junta seeks
to protect. But we will know the
truth. AT my suggestion Mr.. Adams,
acting chairman Of the committee, has
decided to call Mr.. Quesada, the rep
resentative Of the junta in this city.

After the most bitter struggle ever
witnessed in a nominating convention
in this city, and in the midst of a scene
almost indescribable Andrew r. Kiefer
was nominated by a very slender ma
Jority over w. ]. Donahower and c. F.
Mailer for the mayoralty place on the
city ticket by the Republican conven-
ton at Market hall just before O'Clock
yesterday afternoon.
The nomination followed ON a con-
tention that was bitter in the extreme.
and the proposition that was made to
make the nomination unanimous was
lost sight Of in the clamor that ensued
on the announcement of the vote. That
there was no chance of unanimity was
assured by the open statement of at
least a score of delegates that
Now they have nominated him they
can elect him.
The convention was iisorderly from
the very start, and every inch of the
distance between the conten.ling par
ties was fought With a determination
that argued the life or death of the con-
tending elements so far as their future
in city politics was concerned.
Kiefer was opposed by a majority Of
the delegation at the start, and only the
shrewd generalship of 'Billy" johnson

Eighth and some other wards was
furious at the treatment accorded him,
as he was given every assurances of the

w. j. Donahower lost the nomination
by permitting his following to traffic on
the name of c. F. Mailer. Mr.. Mahler's
nomination was never contemplated,
but he was put up for a stalking horse
by Donahower followers, and the Kie-
fer people made 1t name to conjure by.
They howled Mailer with a view
to stampeding the Donahower follow
ers, and the consequence was that the
Fourth ward man lost control of his
vote and a number of the people who
had been for him became convinced
that Mailer was being actually SUP
ported by Donahower. When 1t was
necessary to get this vote back into
the Donahower line the Seventh ward
had gotten the idea that Mailer might
really be nominated and they refused
to keep the agreement made with
Schiffmann and the others in the Dona-
hover ranks and the result was a

tage of on the Eighth ballot and a

Rubens' Statement Repudiated by

WASHINGTON, April 6.-When the
dispatch containing Mr.. Rubens' state
ment was shown to Thomas Estrada
Palma. the representative in the Unit
ed States Of the Cuban republic, who
arrived in Washington this morning,
Mr.. Palma turned the dispatch, after
perusing it attentively, over to Senor
Gonzalo de Quesada who read it care
fully and slowly. Then Minister Palma
said:
IT cannot say anything about this
dispatch until 1 communicate with Mr..
Rubens.''
1t was made evident from the man
ner of the two gentlemen, that they
did not for a moment consider the DOS
sibility of such an unwise statement
being made by their associate and
counsel.
Minister Palma did not hesitate to
reiterate, with great emphasis, his re-
cent declaration that Intervention for
the purpose of establishing autonomy
in the island would not be accepted,
and that Cuba would be independent.

The hope of reaching peaceful set

LONDON April e--The British gov
eminent has assures the United States
of It's fullest and must cordial -sympa-
thy in it's Cuban policy. This assur-
ance was given with5t the most complete
knowledge Of the latest developments
in the negotiations between the United
States and Spain and ON the under
standing that events are tending stead
lily towards armed intervention in
Cuba y
The British government is even more
friendly to the United States than the
newspapers here, having more accu-
rate knowledge of the real nature and
purport Of the dealings between the
United States and Spain.
The British ambassador at Washing
ton will participate in no joint repre-
sentations to the state department at
Washington until first assured that
they will not be distasteful to the
president.
The highest officials in London are
convinced that Spain designedly Jug

ject discussed, but the Eastern situa-

ference was Of a most important ma

WASHINGTON, April Cit was
learned from reliable diplomatic
source today that the ambassadors and
ministers of the great powers of Europe
stationed in Washington and repre-
senting Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Austria and Italy, at a meeting
held at the British embassy at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, agreed upon the
substantial terms of a joint note ten
dering the good offices Of the powers
to avert war between the United States
and Spain.
So far as can. be learned, the note
has not yet been presented. This re-
ported action by the powers is entirely
distinct from such steps as Pope Leo
may be taking toward the same gen
eral end.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Whatever
may be the outcome of the unfortunate
condition of affairs and the sad plight
into which the president has plunged
his administration, it is certain that
after the tumult in Washington dies
and the Captain and the Kings de-
part" the American people in their own
good time will not forget to settle with
those who are responsible for the dis
honor, not to say disgrace, that is now
upon US.
The less than flimsy excuse that the
president held back his message today
for the reason that Consul General Lee
is in danger of mob violence in Ha-
vana was not taken with grain of be-
lief by congress.
The answer that was hurled back at
the White house was brief and sharp

vised to leave Cuba on last SUNDAY.

should this shallow pretense for delay
reflect upon the courage and bravery
of Fitzhugh Lee, who has never for a
Gen. Lee knew, as every American
knows, that the moment any hostile
demonstrations are made against him
that the entire patriotic population of
the United States, without further
parleying in Washington, would arise
and demand vengeance
II was not because of any danger to
Lee that the message was withheld:
in plain English it was because Sen
ators Davis and Foraker, of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations,
on being apprised of the fact that Mark
Hanna had added postscript to Nc
kinley's message which would place
the peace-at-any-pr price party in full
control, served notice on the president
that the senate would never accept this
proposition or pass a resolution along
that line.
The president ever weak and waver-
ing, recalled his message, which had
even been struck off from the presses
at the public printing office. Mean
while the air is thick with rumors of
foreign mediation and pictures of how
the powers" of Europe now have
Spain by the throat and will compel
her to yield Cuba without a struggle.
