SITUATION MORE SQUALLY.
Letter by Minister de LONE Brings About
Complications.

Letter by Minister de LONE Brings About
Complications.
Another big sensation has developed
in the Cuban situation. 1t has result
ed in the resignation and the recall of
the Spanish minister, Dupuy de LONE,
and may lead to still further compli-
cations.
In the New York Journal of We'd
nesday appeared a letter purporting
to have been written by de LONE to
Senior Canalejas in Havana. The let
ter contained confidential statement
as to the inside facts of the Spanish
position. 1t in effect discredited the
sincerity of the Spanish government
as to its Cuban autonomy preten-
sions, admitted that all the Spanish
claims of military victories in Cuba
were without foundation in fact, and
referred to President Mckinley as fol-
lows: "Besides the natural and inev-
liable coarseness with which he repeats
all that the press and public opinion
of Spain has said of Weyler, it shows
once more what Mckinley is; weak
and catering to the rabble, and, be-
sides a low politician who desires to
leave the door open to me, and to
stand we'll with the jingoes of his par
ty. Nevertheless, as matter OF fact,
it will only depend upon ourselves
whether he will prove bad and averse
to u.s." At first it was thought that
the letter might be forgery, but de
LONE declined to deny its authentici-
ty, and later it was clearly established
that the letter is genuine.
1t appears that the letter was writ
ten shortly after McKinley's recent
message to congress. Havana is full
of spies. The households of the Span
ish officials are permeated with them.
Some of these spies learned of the let
ter and one of them managed to steal
it from the desk of Senor Canalejas.
The president, it now develops, has
known of the existence of the letter for
more than a month; but not officially,
and therefore could not make it a
ground of objection to de LONE. Not
withstanding, however, for some weeks
past the state department has been
ignoring de Lone, having its commu-
nications with Spain through Minister
Woodford.
De LONE cabled his resignation to
Spain on Tuesday, and the resigna-
ton was accepted. What the result
now is going to be is not known but
it seems to be the opinion in Washing
ton that if Spain does not now give
up the struggle in Cuba, it will be only
a matter of very few days until the
United States will be compelled to in
terfere.

Protect
Your Homes !

TN the three words above is, I think,
l. really an unnecessary command, for
by the very nature Of things, it is the
innate purpose of every living creature,
even unto the fowls Of the air, to protect
their homes from all kinds Of trespassers
and destroying elements. Through
thoughtless notion Of economy though,
there are many men of today who are
allowing their otherwise fine and hand
some homes to 90 to ruin for the lack of q
coat or two of paint, when by its appli-
cation the house will be beautified and
its exterior protected from the never re-
lenting destroying atmospheric elements.
Paint is cheaper than Notwithstanding
and yet by applying the paint you increase
the life of the weatherboarding almost in
definitely. MASURY'S RAILROAD
PAINT IS THE BEST.
1T WON'T SCALE.

There are thousands of paints that are

RichIand Cotton Growers.
The cotton growers of Richland
county held a convention last Mon
day and adopted resolutions as follows
Resolved, First. That we advise the
farmers of the county to cut the acre
age at least one-third, or more If posi-
BILE, and be certain to use every effort
on the farm. Second, That we use
very little commercial fertilizers, if any,
knowing as we do that guano manu-
facturers have combined to hold the
prices out of our reach, that is, at the
present price of cotton. We are not
making war against guano companies,
nor do we wish to have the profit
knocked out of their business. But
we are sure we can't pay past prices
with 5-cents cotton.

When asked about the smallpox situa-
ton, DR.. Evans said that three new
cases had developed down in the Or
angeburg pest house, and two in
Beaufort. He does not consider there
is any doubt about the disease being
smallpox but says it, as i'll the case
of all the epidemics of '97, is of ex-
ceedingly mild form. The disease was
traceable directly back to Birmingham,
where it has now broken out in more

The GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Synopsis Of Daily Proceedings Of House
and Senate.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8.


and Senate.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8.
IN THE HoUsE.-The Child's prohi
bition bill occupied the attention o.
che house during most of the day
The Child's bill provides for the sale
of alcoholic liquor only for medicinal
mechanical and sacramental purposes
Mr.. Livingston offered as substitute
bill providing for absolute prohibi,
tion but Mr.. Childs asked his friends
not to vote for this substitute, on the
ground that it would not stand the test
of law. He had only provided for sales
for medicinal purposes for the reason
that the courts had decided that such
sales would be legal under any cir
cumstances.
Mr.. Garris spoke against the Child's
bill. He thought it only an adaptation
of the dispensary law without the ad.
vantages of the dispensary system.
The appi iopriation of 100000 per an
mum for its enforcement, he thought,
was far from sufficient, and instead Of
bringing prohibition, he thought it
would bring free liquor.
Mr.. Yeldell said he would, if posi-
BILE, stop the sale of every drop OF
liquor in the state. Liquor produces
sickness and not life; poverty, not
wealth it makes man a murderer
it makes children orphans. How it
could be defended he could not see.
There are times when a man must lay
aside his hearts desires and do what
he thinks best for the people as a
whole. He believed that it was fortu.
nate that the prohibition bill of 1892
did not pass. If the good people oi
the state had accepted the dispensary
law as it should have been accepted
the state by this time would be ready
for prohibition. He was sorry that
even ministers locked arms with the
liquor dealers and fought the law, and
consequently, he thought it best te
leave the matter alone and pass nc
liquor legislation at this time.
Mr.. Mccullough spoke in favor O.

to do so. 1t was for these reasons that
he thought the county was entitled to
exemption. There was a hard fight
against the proposition for exemptions ;
but the exemptions finally won by q
vote of 65 to 33. All the members the
York delegation voted for the exemp-
tions.
In THE SENATE.-A few second
reading bills were passed, and when
the house came over, large number
of bills were ratified. Otherwise the
proceedings were not of especial in
tereSt.

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
Board OF Trade and City Councils
Working Hard for the Christi
ana River HurDor.

The combined committees OF the BoarG
of Trade and OF the City Council is hare
at work to secure the pass o Of the bill
authorizing the city Of Wilmington tc
appropriate Onc-tcnth of what is ex.
expended by the government to improve
the Christiana harbor, and with the
object in view to secure influence the
following petition has beon circulated in
this city.
"To the Senate of the State of Della
ware: We, the undersigned, would
respectfully ask your honorable body to
pass the bill relating to the permanent
Improvement of the Christians river.
The bill has passed the House OF Repre-
sentatives, the City Council of Whining
ton, and the Board of Trade unanimously,
and is signed by more than l20 of the
leading manufacturers and business men
of Wilmington, which we believe pay
more than one-half of The taxes of the
city,"
The committees will visit Dover
tomorrow and lay the matter before the
State Senate.
The harbor appropriations for the
5000 for improvements at Chlrchman' s
bridge, and the survey called for by the
river and harbor act Of August IS, 1894,
have averaged between $S, 900 and 81, coo
a year, while the shoaling is estimated at
the rate Of 10000 cubic yards ycarsand
possibly much more.
1t may safely be assumed that between
$50, 400 and $25, 900 is needed annually
for the maintenance Of the fifteen foot
chanel.

"The important session was callet

Fifteen minutes later one of twenty

the nerve to arise from his chair il
the rear of the room and moved tha
John j. Gallagher, member of the Levy
Court from the Ninth ward, OF Whining
ton, act as temporary chairman.
The motion it is unnecessary to state
was carried unanimously and the meet.
ing accordingly opened.
Mr. Gallagher Immediately took the
chair, made vacant through the "una-
voided" absence OF Mayor II. c. Nc
Lear, who is at present in st. Louis, on
business"
City Councilman John Robertson was
present to act in his usual capacity US
secretary.
The latter gentleman read the minutes
of the last meeting held Saturday even
ing last, and they were approved as
read.
The chair then called for reports of
committees, and all announced progress
with the exception Of the membership
committee. A brief glance over the
room showed that none Of the members
Of that committee was present.
At this juncture Fred Eden Bach, now
supervisor Of the suburban postotfices,
and located at Washington, d. c., arose.
The gentleman took the time to re-
move the Pittsburg "stogie' from his
mouth and in his clear and concise man
ner stated that this was the most i'm
portant committee named at the last
meeting and the three gentlemen repre-
senting the committee had evidently for
gotten to attend.
In order not to let them forget the
important business too long, Mr..
Bach moved that the committee be in
creased to seven and that a meeting OF
this committee be held on Monday
evening next.
The motion carried and from the close
OF the meeting MIR. Bach had the floor 10
himself as he was the only one present
to make motions and have them carried.
1t was also on his motion that no

Prior to adjournment the furniture
committee reported the purchase of six
dozen chairs, two tables and desk at y
cost of SS2.
No bill was presented for this and con-
no money paid. the gent tlemen
present evidently thinking that some of
the chairs might be returned in case suf-
fcient members were not received to fill
them.
After a short "confab," as to what
officials now in office could be secured
to join their disgruntled lot with the
Lincoln Republican club, the meeting

A STRANGER DISAPPEARS.
Albert Matthews Supposed to be From
York, Pa, Leaves His Boarding
House,

Albert Matthews, aged 30 years disap.
peared from his boarding house 4i2
Taylor street in this city, on March 10Th,
and since then all traces to locate him
have proved truitless.
The young man came to this city on
March 9Th, and obtained employment
at the works of the Malleable Iron
Company. During the afternoon he
went to the residence of Mrs. Webster
and obtained board. He said he had
come from the South, but belonged in
York, Pa.
He went to a railroad station for his
valise and returned with colored man,
who assisted him with his baggage.
When the negro left he told him to re-
turn at 7 o'clock as he knew nothing
about the city and wanted to receive in
formation concerning certain places
After unpacking his valise he left the
house, saying that he would return at
supper time. He has not been seen
since. On the same night an unknown
man was killed on the railroad between
this city and Newark, and some believe
it was the stranger.
Others incline to believe that the man
who was drowned in the Christiana a
few days ago was Matthews, but there
has been no Identification in either case.
