THE SECOND RECEPTION
A Change in the Nomenclature OF
White House Affairs.
No Longer to BE Known as of Old
The Program When PreSi-
dent Dole VIII Receive.

There is disposition at the White
House To abandon the nomenclature
of the receptions there which has been
in vogue for many years. Ihey dlo
not, for instance, speak of the 'diplo-
matte reception the first of the sea-
son, but simply as the first reception
at the White House. The next recep-
ton, formerly scheduled as the judi
cial and Congressional, is now spoken
of as the second reception at the
White House. The new descriptive
titles are more accurate than the old
ones for the very obvious reason that
the diplomats alone are not received
at the diplomatic reception" nor the
justices, Senators and Representatives
at the judicial and Congressional re-
ception." The change, it is said, was
suggested by the Secretary to the Pres
ident.
The second reception therefore will
be held on Wednesday evening, the
arrangements for which were made
yesterday by Mr.. Porter and Col Bing-
ham, of the War Department. AT this
reception President Dole, of Hawaii,
will also receive. The order of prece-
dence will be President Mckinley and
Mrs Mckinley, President Dole and
Mrs. Dole.
Col. Bingham Will make the lntroduc-
tions to President Mckinley and Major
Heistand will introduce the visitors to
President Dole. The Presidential la
dies will also be presented by the gen
tlemen named
At the request of Senator Frye. of

SPANS OWN WAY.
A Hesrtbroken Mother Tells How
Her Son Was Murdered.

Havana, Jan. %, via Key West.-The
following is a translation from a letter
written to Capt. Gen. Blanco by Mrs.
Mariana c. Fernandez, mother of the
rebel leader, Clemente Fernandez, who
was recently reported to have been kill
ed by the Spanish in a fight near Rio
Seco. in this province:
How is it. sir, that your orders re-
garding the humane treatment which
should be accorded 10 the sick and n n
combatants are not obeyed by your sol
diers? ] write 10 you that you may
know that my son. Clemente Fernandez,
was foully murdered by them.
He had been for some time Ill with
fever in a hut in the Rio Seco district.
There We're with him another sick
officer and two disabled men as attend
ants. knowing this, Don Francisco
Sanchez Arana, military commander of
Rio Seco personally led a detachment of
soldiers, who, in the middle Of the night.
attacked the hut and murdered the four
men there.
'a'le letter tells of the attempt to bribe
the young Cuban's relatiS ,s TO betray
him. They refused. The Spaniards then
learned in another way of FernandeZ's
whereabouts and the murder followed.
Mrs. Fernandez asserts that the plot
was woven by emissaries of Gen. Par
rado.

AUToNoMY'S TREATY DELEG ATE.
1t May Be That He VIII Receive a
Cool Reception.

Nothing yet has been heard of the expert
of the so-calIed autonomous government
of Cuba, who is to be sent here TO ne
gotiate a treaty of commerce between
this country and Cuba under the super
vision of the Spanish government. Cuba.
in the proposed treaty, is to be somew hat
in the relative position that Canada, for
instance, occupies between America and
Great Britain. Ii is said that, although
the Cuban delegate mas been chosen in
Havana, it has not heen deemed wise TO
announce his name.
The inter aSting question in the forma-
tion of the proposed treaty is whether
this country viii recognize the Cuban
delegate as representing the new alleged
autonomy. There is an open question as
10 whether such a government exists.
and If America treats on the basis that
such government does exist, il Will beg
the question. The reception OF the dele
gate from Cuba will carry with IL the
implication that the autonomous govern
ment is concrete fact, recognized by
itself and by other nations. IL has been
stated in explanation of the coming of
this delegate that America will not be
considered as desiring 10 aid in any way
the maint eDance OF the royal govern
ment of the island. The reception and
treating with 4 delegate from the island,
however, seems to assume a form of gov
ernment which is denied in toto by the
patriots and by great many other authori
ties outside of Cuba.

Valuable Addition to Christian
History Discovered in Rome.
Rome, Jan. 29.-Signor Marucci, an
srcheologist. has discovered an imposing
wall painting in the Palace of Tiherius.
There is q long Latin inscription, con-
tanning the name Christus, and it is con-
sidered that the painting will prove an
important addition TO Christian history.
Signor Malucci today told the corespon-
dent of The Washington Times that the
painting represents the preparation for
the crucifi xion. Around tho cross are
soldiers bea ing ladders AMI under each
soldier is written his name. Among the
names is that Of Pontius PLATE. The
figures measure fifteen centimeters in
height. The inscription consists OF fifteen
lines, OF which five have been deciphered.
The Pope was immediately informed of
the discovery.
Signor Mainccj will shortly publish a
pamphlet illustrating his discovery. Many
institutions have asked for information
concerning the painting.

He DIDN'T "CUSS."
But representative Loud Did Lots
of Thinking.

Representative Loud. chairman of the
Postoffice Committee of the House of
Representatives, said to a Times re-
porter yesterday: mo, sir, l didn't
cuss."
Mr.. Loud is quoted as having told a
respectable gentlemen from the very
respectable, albeit the subsidiary city of
Brooklyn that they We're "a pack OF
damned asses" Mr.. Loud told the re-
porter that he had been misquoted, and
that no matter how strong his opinion
was as to the damnation and asinity
of the committee, his remarks were not
so potent as reported. Mr.. Loud did
not appear at all depressed that he had
been so violently misquoted, but APP
peared to believe that his thoughts
rather than his words had been re-
ported.
Messrs. George T. Elliott, s. V White
(the deacon), and Thomas G.. Shear
man (taX experD, of Brooklyn, came
down to Washington TO protest against
the proposed cut in the postal service
in that suburb, made imminent by the
impending deficit in the free delivery
service. This committee went before
tn Postal Committee. At the close of
the conference Mr.. Elliot said that
when the delegation had stated It's
mission, Mr. Loud broke out thus:
You men are a pack of damned
asses. You don't know anything about
what you want. You think you do and
you come down here and try to tell US
our business, but you don't know any
thing about it, and 1 repeat it,
Mr.. Loud said to a reporter for The
Times:
IF these people drew the inference
that they are asses from other words
that 1 uttered, it is their own con-
struction. I did say that l was sur
prised to see men of intelligence becom-
ing wildly excited over a condition
which does not exist. | told them that
l could expect ignorant persons to get
excited in this matter, but did not eX-
pect it from men of intelligence. If
they infer that they are asses, that is
their own construction"

effort to hear Mr.. Loud say that the
gentlemen named were not asses
