CONSULAR c0RREspoNDENcE.
II 10 Transmitted to Congress with the
Presidents Messrge.

Washington April 1.-THE consular
correspondence with regard to the sit
uation in Cuba which was transmitted
today was prepared in response to res
buttons of inquiry adopted by both
the House and Senate. The cor
respondence was prepared for trans
mission to Congress just before the
blowing up OF the Maine and being
held back since then now includes COM
munications up TO April l. 1t covers
the communications of Gen. Lee at
Havana, Consul McCiars at Cienfuegos,
Consul Brice Mt Matanzas. Consul Hy
att at Santiago de Cuba and Consul
Barker at San la Grande.
The communications made about
$4,000 words. They deal largely with
distress and suffering which exists in
all the districts. but Gen. Lee reports
quite fully upon the DEGREES OF the
government with regard to autonomy
and other political phases Of the situ-
alton. In preparing the correspond
ence for transmission to Congress con-
siderable portions of the important
communications and especially those
marked confidential are omitted. The
resolutions. to which they are the re-
Spouse, asked only for such correspond
ence as II was not deemed incompati-
BILE with the public interest to make
public. Gen. Lees correspondence
runs over the period from November
Il. 1897. to April, 1898.
Much of the correspondence is OF a
confidential nature and OF some of the
important communications excerpts
only are given.
The period OF the correspondence
from the blowing up OF the Maine con-
taius no reference to that event, such
communications probably being deemed
irrelevant to the purpose OF the reso-
tuition calling for the consular cor
respondence in the possession OF the
government as to the situation OF at.
fairs in Cuba.

pRoHIs, sALARIED CHAIRMAN.
In Advance of Old Parties-A Fund OF
81 gro RniSed.

There was a conference of the leading
Prohibitonists of the State yesterday IN
Grand Army Hall, on North Delaware
street. The attendance was large all day,
and there was considerable enthusiasm over
the speeches Of leading members OF the
party The conference was called to order
by L. M. Crist of Thorntown, the state
chairman. Cards were passed about the
hall bearing the days programme and the
motto: Remember Lots Wife. Forward.
1t was the sense of the meeting that M.
w. Harkins, of Anderson, be called to the
state craftsmanship, should Mr.. Crist sig
Nifty his inability to serve longer in that
position The leaders of the party adj
vanced proposition to make the chairman
ship a salaried office, and the suggestion
was accepted favoraby. AT the close of the
conference yesterday evening campaign
fund of 81, $50 had been raised part of which
is TO be used in paying the salary of the
chairman. The amount will probably be
fixed at $1,500 a year. One of the chief ad-
dresses of the day was by M. w. Harkins,
who spoke of the Pittsburg incident" in
which there was a split in the party. He
said there had been no movement involving
great principles where there had not been
some who stepped out of line. Mr.. Har-
kins insisted there was no cause for dis
couragement. The outlook for the party
had never been brighter The Pittsburg
incident was only a teSt-only a trial of
metal before the great battle.
Homer j. Hall, of Franklin, spoke along
the line of organization. Editor Armstrong,
OF the Kosciusko Standard; c. B. Fenton,
of the Logansport Times and E. A. Devore,
of Richmond, talked on the topic 1.-The Use
Of the Press to Advance Our Cause" Mrs.
Fat McWhirter, in a short talk, referred
to the portraits of Miss Frances Willard
that had been draped and placed on the
platform. Mrs. McWhirter, in touching
words spoke of the great leader of the w
G. 7. u, who had passed away. The
speaker urged every man in the conference
TO go back home and exert an influence
that would cause wives, daughters and sis
tiers to push on in the work that Miss Will
lard had laid down. Ten thousand women
the speaker said, cannot oil the place that
Miss Willard occupied in the w. G.. T. U
work. The conference closed with music
and recitations by Billy Seymour the re-
formed actor, and the Nelson Sisters The
date OF the state convention was not fixed
The central, or executive, committee of
the Prohibition party in Indiana met at

the party should not at that time be "yoked
to an ass" do not drive us from the
party we love" he exclaimed
A motion to eccept the designations of the
committeeman finally prevailed. This was
the nrst crucial vote IN the convention ana
developed the fact that Motsinger was the
master Of the situation. The district meet
ings OF the night before had been favorable
TO the fusionists thus resulting in a state
committee and the various convention COM
mittees being composed largely of the fu-
sionists. But in the convention the tables
were turned, a fact which gradually de-
veloped until the climatic and exciting
scene in the evening over the adoption Of
the platform The cause for this is found
in the fact that Motsnger's districts in
the southwest corner of the State were
more completely represented in the conven-
ton than any of the central or northern
The designations of the committeeman be-
ing accepted, nominations were made to fill
Fernandez, Austin and Strange, We're put in
nomination, and also William j. Van Horn,
of Davies county; A. q. Burkhardt OF Tip
ton; l.. w. Hubbell, of Pulaski; M. G. RAN
kin. of Terre Haute, and E. c. Drain. of
Evansville.
The voting took up several hours. 1t was
decided that each delegate vote for three
committeeman at once and when this was
done the vote stood as follows; Fernandes
627: Strange. 94l; Austin. 544 Burkhardt,
542 Rankin, 143; Hubbell, 26S; Van Horn, 24l
and Drain, 76. According to this result the
three old committeeman were reelected. a
distinct fuSiOniSt victory.
But the sagacious secretaries discovered
that few hundred more votes had been
cast than there could possibly be delegates
in the convention. This sad state of affairs
caused an almost endless delay in which
the secretaries and the convention sought
to straighten out the personnel of the body
and do the work the credential committee
should have done. The rule had been re-
ported by the committee on rules that only
accredited representatives actually present
should vote and by making a partial APP
plicaton of this rule the secretaries pruned
down the .fusionist districts to an alarming
extent
Another vote was then taken resulting in
the election of Joshua Strange and A. q.
Burkhardt. A third ballot elected w. 5.
Austin. Thus Fernandes was Knocked out,
Burkhardt taking his place. Austin made q
speech, intimating that he was in favor of
a straight ant-Bryan ticket in 1900. The
other two elected to the committee, also
spoke but more guardedly. Burkhardt and
Strange are both said to have strong fusion
proclivities. Motsinger's victory was only
partial but ii was distinctly victory
The convention then adjourned until
o. clock.

Hyde made the response. and c. r. Coffin
spoke of the scope of the work being done
by the board. He explained that the institu-
ton was not an orphan asylum; that the
children cared for there were the neglected

Nir0nments were such that they would
probably not be reared TO become useful
citizens. Addresses We're also made by

GOLD DEMOCRAT TICKET
THE STATE CONFERENCE DECIDES
TO PUT ONE OUT.
Nominations to BE Made in Each Con-
gressiOnaI District-State Con-
ventiOn at Early Date.

1t was decided at the conference of gold
Democrats of the State at the Bates House
last night to hold state convention at an
early date for the purpose of nominating
a state ticket and to nominate candidates
for Congress in each congressional district
The meeting was well attended, between
fifty and sixty being present. The Second,
Third Fifth Seventh, Eighth, Ninth,
Tenth and Eleventh congressional districts
We're represented There was a long dis
cussion, at times very enthusiastic, and it
was IL O'Clock before the conference finally
adjourned. John p FrenzeI presided, G.. w.
Mcdonald acting as secretary. Among
those from out Of the city were j. S. Nave,
of Attica; Charles Brownell, Peru; Dr. Ter
hume, Greene county; Frank Daily and his
brother, of Lebanon; George S. Clifford,
Evansville; Judge Robinson, Spencer; Mr..
Joyce, of Peru, and Judge Nelson. of Log
ansport. Such well-known local gold Dem
ocrats as Evans Woollen, J. f. McGettigan,
Oscar Frenzel, Sterling r. Holt and A. H.
Brown were also present.
The meeting was not open to the public,
but it was said that there was unanimity
of opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of forming
a complete, aggressive organization for ac-
ton, not only in the State and congression-
al districts, but in the counties as we'll
The speakers declared that there should be
no cessation of efforts to maintain a sound
currency. There was frequent applause
when some vigorous statement of this char
acter was made. There was some discus
sion of the advisability of an early conven-
ton, and it was decided that the sooner the
work begins the better.
After a thorough discussion of the entire
subject of reviving the organization that
campaign. John r. Wilson offered the fol-
lowing resolution as expressing the senti-
ment of the conference:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the central committee of the
National Democratic party OF the State of
Indiana should at any early date call a
state convention for the purpose of nomi-
the nomination Of a candidate for Congress
in each congressional district
There We're four or five seconds to the
resolution and it was unanimously adopted
Four members OF the state committee were
in attendance. The meeting however. was
not a state committee meeting. Chairman
Frenzel explained, but a conference of
members Of the party from the State at
large. Later meeting of the central COM
mittee will be held to call convention in
pursuance of the resolution OF the confer
ence. Nothing was said in the resolution
with reference TO county tickets. That sub
ject may receive some consideration at the
convention, and 1t may be left to the gold
Democrats IN each county TO decide for
themselves the ACCESSIBILITY of nominating
county tickets.

SALT WATER GAS WELLS
CHICAGO PIPE LINE FINDS THESE TO
BE LITTLE HINDRANCE.
----A--
secret Process Claimed by a Witness
in the City of Peru Lit
igatiOn.

The attorneys interested in the litigation
between the city of Peru and Iogansport
and the Wabash Valley Gas Company are
still taking testimony in the Office of Ferdi-
nand Winter. The testimony is to be sub
mitted to Judge Baker, of the United States
Court, who will determine whether the in
junction against the Peru City Council to
prevent the reduction of gas rates shall
be made permanent.
Thus far the witnesses examined have
been for the plaintiff. The evidence seems
to show a universal diminution of the gas
pressure in those districts with which the
witnesses are familiar. The witnesses ex-
amined yesterday were George w. Landon,
president of the Kokomo Gas and Oil Com
pany; II. G. Chisnell. superintendent of the
Pittsburg plate-glass works, which has
plants at Elwood and Kokomo, and Henry
Coyle, superintendent of the Chicago pipe
line of the Indiana Gas Company. This
corporation has two eight-inch pipes ex-
tending from the pumping station at
Greentown, Howard county, to the city of
Chicago. Since going into the business the
company has drilled eighty wells. Super
intendent Coyle yesterday testified that
since Jan. l last thirty-one of the eighty
wells have shown an average pressure of
only 213 pounds. The witness testified that
the wells were tested without regard to
the time when they were drilled.
There was evidence yesterday to show
that when many of the wells in the gas
field were drilled there was a rock pressure
of from 325 to $50 pounds. Since then the
pressure has been greatly reduced, it is
claimed. 1t was shown by the testimony
of Superintendent Coyle that by a process
known only to his people the Chicago Pipe
line Company is able to separate the gas
from the salt water that arises in many of
the wells. What this process is the witness
did not state His company. it is claimed.
can readily produce gas from wells filed
with salt water. The plaintiff will not con-
clude it's testimony until Thursday The
defendants will then show up their side of
the case.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are Ferdi-
nand Winter, of this city; Loveland &
Loveland, Bailey & Cole, and Mitchell, An
trim & McClentic, of Peru A 9. Harris,
of this city; John F. Lawrence, f. ID.
Butler, Milton Kraus. James F. Suites
man and Reasoner & OHara, of Peru, are
conducting the case for that city.

Judge Harvey of the Superior Court, has
annulled the marriage contract existing be-
tween Anna Levitt Smock and Thomas
Wade Smock. The suit to have the mar
riage set aside was brought by the wife,
who is very young. The wedding took place
three months ago. The pair lived together
but few days, the young bride returning
to her home, north of the city, where she
remained. Smock believed she was being
detained by her parents, and brought ha-
beas corpus proceedings in the Superior
Court to gain possession of her. The suit
was tried, and the court informed the girl
she could return to her husband stay
with her parents. She decided to remain
under the parental roof and brought suit
to have the marriage set aside.
