CONGRESS- AND CUBA.

There is not an Intelligent man in
America but knows that the policy of
the present congress with reference to
Cuban independence is condemned bv
vast majority of the people of this
nation, and there is not a Republican
in the ranks of the party but must ad-
nit that it is nothing less than cow
ard s evasion of the declaration Of the
st. Louis convention on that subject.
There is no excuse for such evasion,
and there is going to be a day of reck-
oning, when Republicans will be called
upon to account for their infdelity to
party pledges. lingo or no lingo, the
Republican party can not afford to
furnish the Democrats the kind of
campaign ammunition they are getting
out of this treatment of the Cuban
question.
And for once the Democrats are act
ing with intelligence in their evident
purpose to put the Republicans on
record and keep that record with
which to face us in the next campaign.
They realize that everywhere outside
of very small circumscribed circle of
interested Spectators there is prac-
tically unanimous demand for the
recognition of Cuban independence.
Cuba stands to-day where America
stood twelve months before the final
success of the war for independence.
Indeed her cause must appeal even
more strongly to the sentiment of hui
mainly than did that of American Sit
uation in the latter days of the eight
eenth century. The American revo-
luton never furnished such instances
of horrible persecution, of assassina-
ton, starvation and oppression as are
constantly being furnished in the
Cuban war.
How any congressman can come back
to his constituency and face them on
the votes that have been registered on
the propositions as they have come up
in congress is something that we can
not understand. Humanity, patriot
ism and common sense demand that
congress do something for the relief of
Cuba. 1t is not sufficient that we are
permitted to contribute of our funds
for the relief of those whom Spain has
sought to starve into subsection, while
congress sits idly by and allows the
process of murder and starvation to 90
on unrebuked and unchecked.
And it is not calculated to put a Re-
publican in love with his party to real
ize that the only substantial protests
that are made come from Democratic
sources.
20, for the touch of a vanished hand
And the sound of voice that is STILL
One hour of James G.. Blaine in this
faltering, paltering congress would
strike the shackles from Cuba and
shame the weakened supporters of
this vascillating administration into
action that would be creditable to Re-
! publicanism and humanity.

BUT HE HAS GIVEN HIS CONSENT.
The St. Paul Globe is rather pre-
mature in announcing the candidacy of
Judge L. W. Collins for governor.
While it is true that a large number
OF the influential papers Of the Sixth
congressional district and of the
State in general have been advocating
the candidacy of Judge Collins, that
gentleman has not given his consent
to become a candidate. Of all the
candidates mentioned, Judge Collins,
without any doubt would make the
best governor. He is man whose
ability has been tried on the bench and
found to be not wanting. He is not a
party TO a machine, nor is he in any
way connected with any clique or fac
ton of the party. He is a clean,
honorable Republican.-Del Eaole.
BACKED BY THE SIXTH AND SEVENTH.
A recent issue of the ST. Cloud Jour-
nall Press contains an editorial that is
practically an authoritative announce
ment of Judge Collins gubernatorial
candidacy. The announcement will
put a new phase on the political situa-
ton and materially influence events,
for there is no question but that Judge
Collins has influential following in por-
tions of the Seventh and Sixth dis

his candidacy and aggressive in his

have the easy walkover that has been
anticipated. Should Mr.. Comstock
decide not to make the race, probably
Judge Collins will secure the solid

would also undoubtedly receive scat

THE STRONG MAN.


Judge Lorin W. Collins is a candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
governor. His independence is &C.
knowledged; his ability conceded; his
record spotless; his honesty unques-
toned; his courage indomitable: his
private character above reproach; his
friends legion. If nominated he would
sweep the State by a large majority as
against John Lind or any other candi-
date who could be named against him.

SENSATION IN FLORIDA.
Woman Accuses Two Men of Murder
But Is Mixed on Her Facts.


Valdosta. Ga, June Ia little over
year AGO a man named Hutchinson and his.
wife disappeared from their home near
White Springs, Fla, and nothing has ever
been seen or heard of them since then.
Hutchinson was a tenant on a plantation
there, and the mystery of his disappear
ance has never been solved to this day.
Living In the same neighborhood was a
man named Andrew Goodwin and his wife.
Near them was a negro named John
Wright. Several months ago a row be-
tween Goodwin and his wife resulted in
their separation. Goodwin moved TO some
other place In Florida, but afterwards re-
turned to his home and adjusted the dif-
ferences between himself and wife. Two or
three weeks ago there was another sepa-
ration and now the wife charges that her
husband and John Wright were the muir
derers of Hutchinson and his wife.
The two men were arrested last Satur
day and a big sensation was created at
Jasper and throughout the county by the
charges which the woman made. The wo-
man stated that Goodwin confessed the
killing to her and she stated that he was
paid well for the crime. She alleged that
he came home on the morning of the muir
der with his mule all besmeared with
blood. She questioned him and he finally

inson and his wife and had carried their
bodies off on his mule to a swamp where
they were buried The woman covered
every detail of the killing and recited the
circumstances under which the confession
was made to her
The witness went before States Attor-
ney Robertson this week and told her story
of the killing. She said that her husband
was hired to murder Hutchinson and his
wife, and that he was paid for it. She
stated that she did not know how much
money he received, but that 1t was good
deal She said she saw the roll of bills and
among them saw one SIS bill. The attorney
knew this was not true and this break in
her evidence resulted in the release of
Goodwin.
1t was believed at Jasper that the woman
had been thoroughly drilled in her testl-
mony as her story was almost perfect
The breaks, however, were so glaring that
the attorney for the state decided to re-
lease the prisoners without carrying the
case In the court

WAR RUSE BY THE OREGON.

San Francisco, June 9.-Gunner Robert
W. White of the Oregon, writes to his
mother in Oakland, giving some interest
ing inside history of that ships expert
ences in Brazil. The letter was dated at
Bahia. He says in part
when we left Rio we had to leave the
Nlctheroy. The Marietta steamed out
shortly after US and to our surprise Gid
not bring the Nictheroy with her. AS
she is a sister ship of the Wheeling, our
captain ordered her to paint her smoke
stack black-previous to this it was yell
low-go into Rio, report as the Wheeling,
and inquire for the Nictheroy. She COM
pletely fooled the natives, and came steam
ing out next day with the Nictheroy.'
Again in the letter, White says:
I'VE called at Bahia to give our chip
a final cleaning for battle. We gave out
that one of our shafts was broken SO as
to get Brazilian protection until we were
ready to move An official came aboard
to see If the shaft was really broken, but
the captain had given orders to heat UP
the shaft room 60 hot that no one could
stay there more than a minute. The Off
cial was conducted below. but soon came
up dripping with perspirauon. Rather
than go down again he took our word
about the broken shaft and so we stayed
at Bahia as long as we pleased"

What may be reliable news of Capt. AL
fred Dreyfus and his life on Devils Island
is given in the London Telegraph, which
says:
The story told is that a Dutch vessel
slowly passing near the ex-captain's place
OF captivity was boarded by some French
marines or penitentiary officials, who ask
ed for the loan of the ships cook for few
hours. The reason given was that the
man who did the cooking in the convict set

hospital. The captain of the Dutch steam

a while. During his very brief sojourn on

Dreyfus and to have had an opportunity
of observing how the ex-captain was
treated.
According to the Dutchman the prisoner
rose every morning between and 7
o'clock, had q cup of chocolate a bath
and If the weather permitted, walk.
While taking the bath the prisoners wrists
were tied around with a cord, one end of
which was held by a warder. This was to
prevent any attempt to commit suicide.
After the bath the eX-captain breakfasted

From the Philadelphia Record
Vancouver, B. c.. June s.-News Of most
barbarous religious inhumanity In Singa-
pore, the metropolis of the Straits settle
ment in Asia, was brought here to-day by
Sir Charles Mitchell, who arrived with
Lady Mitchell from the Orient on board
the steamship Empress OF Japan. II the
tale of shocking inhumanity which he
brings had come through the ordinary,
roundabout news channels from the other
side of the world 1t would hardly be credi-
ted But 1t Is vouched for by Sir Charles
himself who is the British governor I'M
der whose Jurisdiction the barbarities
were enacted, and must be accepted as
an absolute fact.
Sir Charles tells Enthusiastically of the
torturing of Killing women in the streets
of Singapore that great center of travel
and commerce, with its mixed population
OF nearly 10000 people, $4,000 of whom
are Chinese, nearly 10000 Malays and
1900 natives of India.
The, Governor says that a number of
Killing women were marched from the tenn
pie in Serango on the road to the temple
in Tank road with lances thrust through
their tongues. lips and cheeks.
The victims tongues had been drawn
out and pierced with the sharp steel, so
that they should never feel tempted to
speak against the religion they had es-
poused. Then other little lances had been
thrust vertically through the lips, pinning
them tightly together and rendering the
victims absolutely mute in their terrible
torture.
Finally, keen blades of a different type
had been driven through both cheeks
above the tongue, and with these instru-
ments of torture, intlcting agony at every
movement of the muscles of the mouth
and face, the prosecuted women were
driven by their tormentors through the
streets of Singapore, while men who ac-
companied them threw water In their
faces at almost every step so that they
should be able to endure this hideous pen
ance.
Although Singapore is a British depen-
dency, the population is such that only a
large army of troops would be able to
prevent the iniictlon of such forms of
penance as the natives, In their wild re-
ligious excuses, choose to ordain.
