to Death in Cuba.

KEY WEST (Fla). Jan. 5.-"El Dia-

paper editorially states that over 5OO.-
600 people have died in Cuba of hun
ger, most of them being women and

ever, that no removal shall be made

IN case of removal the causes shall be

All persons now in the public service
are to terminate their service five years

1t includes in the civil service postal
clerks and letter carriers in offices hay-

vice regulations to clerks whose com
pensacion is from 5000 to $500 per

clerks IN Washington and certain large
cities, end in these cases fixing a ten

TO PAY BONDS IN SILVER.
Concurrent Resolution introduced
in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Senator
Teller to-day introduced a concurrent
resolution declaring the bonds of the
United States payable in silver dollars,
and asserting that ''to restore to their
coinage such silver coins as legal ten
der in payment of said bonds. principal
and interest, is not in violation of the
public faith, nor in derogation of the
rights of the public creditor
The resolution is in the language of
the resolution introduced by Stanley
Matthews in the Forty-fifth Congress,
and which passed both houses.
Senator TelIer's purpose is to secure
a vote upon the resolution, which re-
ceived an almost two-thirds majority
when previously considered.
The resolution was referred to the FL
nance Committee, but as a majority of
the members of that committee are
friendly to silver, Mr.. Teller anticipates
that it will be favorably reported.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION TREATY.
WILL BE CALLED UP IN THE
SENATE ON MONDAY.
Frien nds of the Measure Now Hope
full Of the Required Number
Of Votes to Ratify 1t.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Da-
Wis, Chairman of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, gave notice in the
Senate to-day that he would call UP
the Hawaiian annexation treaty in ex-
ecutive session on Monday next, and
ask the Senate to consider it each day
thereafter until the treaty should be
disposed of.
Senator Davis announcement was
preceded by some active work on the
part of the friends of the treaty prior
to the opening of the Senate, and also
on the floor after the Senate convened.
They do not feel absolutely sure of Sc
curing the sixty votes necessary to rat
ify the treaty, but are to-day hopeful
of getting that number.
1t was positively announced that the
Republican side of the Senate would be
unit in the vote, Senators Morrill,.
Hoar and two or three Republican Sem
ators who were classed as doubtful pri-
or to the holiday recess now being con-
sidered as committed to the treaty.
The supporters of the agreement also
expect to secure the aid of all the silver
Republicans excepting Senator Petit
grew. The Popuists will be divided,
ana majority OF the democrats Will
be against ratification.
The Democrats, however, have given
up any idea they may have had of MAX
ing the annexation question a party is
sue, and it is believed this action will
have the effect of increasing the affirm
ative vote on that side.
There is no doubt that the situation
in China is largely responsible for the
improved prospect of the treaty, as
many Senators hold the opinion that
for the United States to hesitate in this
matter at the present critical time would
be to manifest a serious weakness.
The advocates of the treaty announce
their intention to make few speeches.
but they expect stubborn resistance
from Senators White, Pettigrew, Gray
and others.

Intent on Building Road to Glou-
cester.


The people OF King William seem to be
intent on building an electric road from
Richmond to Gloucester Courthouse. At
ter the meeting held at King William
Courthouse Tuesday Colonel w. r. Aylett
presented TO Judge Gwathmey a petition
signed by citizens residing in every part
OF the county, asking TO be allowed TO
vote on the proposition TO issue $4,000 in
bonds TO help along the proposed enter
prise. The Judge granted the petition and
the election will be held. 1t is foregone
conclusion that the proposition will carry
by an Overwhelming vote.
1t is understood that an effort is being
made In King and Queen TO have an cleo
;ion there on the question of subscribing
to the stock and Gloucester will follow
suit.
The proposed road would start from
Richmond and traverse part Of Hen
rico, pass through the Old Church neigh
borhood in Hanover thence via King Will
liam Courthouse. cross the Mattaponi. and
pass through King and Queen and Glou-
cester 10 SONS point on deep water. The
tracks would be built standard gauge, so
that at any time in the future the mo-
tive power could be changed from cleo
tricity TO steam.
