MET FATE OF RUIZ.
Another Spanish E,nissary Executed by
Insurgents.

Havana, Feb. Spanish military
operations continue almost paralyzed,
the season most favorable for move
ment against the insurgents thus being
lost. Friday the insurgents entered
the town of Artemisa, province of
Pinar del Rio, and plundered several
stores. The governor of Pinar del Rio
sent Jose Mendonez Diaz as an ennis
sary to the insurgent leader Perico
Diaz, with proposals of peace and sur.
render. The insurgents hanged him
near a railway opening, with the gov
ernor's letter on his body. Monday
night they renewed the attack ON Ar
temisa, but were repulsed, leaving two
killed.
Private advices from Gibara confirm
the report that General Luque's losses
at Megia were more serious than was
officially given out. He lost, not 20,
but 140 killed and wounded.
La Discussion prints the following:
THE scenes witnessed at the resi-
dence of DR.. Castro Jesus del Monte,
previous to the distribution of food to
the reconcentrados, are too pathetic to
be described. AS soon as the doors
were opened mass of beggars, living
skeletons Of all races, all ages and both
sexes, invaded the places where food
was to be distributed with outstretohed
hands, almost fleshless, and imploring
and almost frightful spectral faces. at
the sight of food Many were not
strong enough to endure the food, and
fell in the streets as they passed away;
few others, more fortunate, seemed
to gain some vitality.

Rnndls Of Old Claims.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Senator Teller
chairman Of the committee on claims,
today introduced two bills in the SEN
ate, embodying the results Of the COM
mittee's investigation under the pro-
vision OF the general deficiency act Of
the last session, urging that commit
tee to investigate and report ON meri-
torious claims against the government
which are before the committee. One
of the bills involves numerous claims
before the court of claims, and there is
an omnibus measure providing appro-
priations under general heads, as fol-
lows:
Court of claims cases (mostly under
Bowman act), 1,S41, 1868: French spo-
liation claims. $l,043,l17 under ma
tional contracts, $795, 800; account
churches and schools, $365, 974; claims
of states, $4,693, l2S; miscellaneous
claims, 1897, 104; claims for ADJUST
ment and settlement Tin parD, $780,
359; total, $9,765, 1853.
All but about 50, 600 Of the claims
of states allowed are for the refunding
of moneys advanced for raising troops
during the war of the rebellion by Cal
ifornia, Oregon and Nevada. Provision
is made for the investigation by COM
petent tribunals of the claims of Flori-
da and Tennessee against the United
States, and the claims OF the general
government against these states. Both
OF these contentious are OF long stand
ing.
Provision is also made for adjust
ment of the claims of 10 other states,
amounting in the aggregate to Sl29,-
260, which are the results of expend :
lures made by the various states in
equipping troops during the war of the
rebellion. In these cases, an official
investigation is ordered, and no appro-
priation is made.
Many of the claims on navy con-
tracts date back to the civil war, and
are on account of insufficient allow
ance for vessels built under the pres
sure of the times.
Settlement is made under the head
ing miscellaneous, of quite num-
Der of claims which admit of on
specific grouping. These claims are
varied in character, and cover an ex-
tended portion of the nations history.
A large number of them grew out of
the civil war. Teller presented COM
prehensive review covering all the feat
ures of the bill in detail.

JAPANESE MAY VOTE.
Thus Their Opposition to Annexation Of
Hawaii IL Removed.

Washington, Feb. Japan has
been removed as an element In the
opposition to the consummation Of the
annexation Of the Hawaiian islands by
the United States by conclusion OF an
agreement with Japan. This dOcu.
ment, which has not been generally
taken into account In the consideration
Of means for adjusting three questions
that have arisen over the status OF Jap
anese in Hawaii. goes into effect in
July, next year, and among other
things. IL confers upon Japanese within
the territory Of the United States all
the rights accorded to the citizens Of
the most favored nation, which, Of
course, carries with it rights Of natur-
alization and the rights Of franchises.
Presuming that annexation IL effected,
the Japanese In Hawaii will, In 1899,
have the same rights as those in the
present limits Of the United States.
All that remains TO be fixed Is the
status OF tho japanese during the time
that must elapse between the adoption
Of the annexation treaty and the begin
ming Of the operation OF the Japanese
treaty in 1899. As the pending an
nexation treaty provides for the APP
pointment Of commission to visit the
islands and prepare such legislation as
may be necessary to consummate the
amalgamation OF the territories. this
last question can easily be adjusted,
along with other details in the bill "a

DESIRE FOR HAWAII.
Senator white Says Is Based on senti-
mentality and sugar.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Senator White
continued his speech in opposition TO
the Hawaiian annexation treaty in the
executive session Of the senate, amid
many interruptions, and much crossfre.
In the main his speech was a continua-
tion Of the argument on constitutional
lines, which was begun yesterday, but
he also took up questions OF practical
purposes in today's speech, and under
took TO show that, for reasons OF com
merce and defense, the acquisition Of
the islands would be unwise.
Previous TO Whites speech the son.
ate spent about three-quarters OF an
hour in executive session, trying to de-
eide whether Pettigrew's resolution,
concerning the acquisition Of territory
where it would require navy to de-
fend it, should be debated in open seq
sion. When the vote was taken the
majority was found to be against the
proposition for open sessions.
Senator White continued his citation
of authorities to show that the policy
of this country in the past had been
against annexation of the Hawaiian
islands.
The whole scheme for the annexa-
tion Of Hawaii, he said, is based upon
sentimentality and sugar, and, contin-
uing this line Of presentation, he said
that the sugar people, who we're netting
5000, 600 to SO, 900, 900 year under
the reciprocity treaty, we're back OF the
annexation project, with hope of max
ing the benefits now derived from reci-
procity perpetual. II it were not, he
said, for the condition of affairs, the
treaty would never have been heard Of,
and hence he charged that "the pa
triotism of senators was being imposed
upon to consummate most disgraceiul
proposition"

Washington, Feb. 4.-As prelimin-
ary to determining upon the recon-

ers sfay Follow.

Chicago, Feb. IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Se-
cret negotiations are now actually in
progress between the state department
and the insurgents in Cuba looking to
a stoppage Of the war on some financial
basis to be agreed upon hereafter.
President Mckinley has not recognized
the insurgents as belligerents, and he
cannot therefore treat with them open
ly, as he would do with a diplomatic
representative of an independent ma
ton. Direct communication has. how
ever, been had within the last few
weeks between the insurgent govern
ment and the administration here.
The insurgents have expressed per-
feet willingness to assume reasonable
share of the Spanish bonds issued
against the Cuban revenues. The
proposition has been considered with
some favor, and the president and his
cabinet have discussed several plans for
guaranteeing the Cuban debt on the sole
basis OF independence.
These negotiations have gone side
by side with the gradual massng OF
the ships of the North Atlantic squad
ron within striking distance OF Cuba.
Orders to the cruiser Montgomery to
sail at once for the harbor OF Matanzas
have been issued, and the chip is ex-
pected to be received there quite as cor
daily as the Maine was in Havana.
The orders to her commander contem-
plate call on Consul Brice at Matan-
zas Should everything be found peace
able the ship will proceed to Santiago
de Cuba, but should affairs look
threatening in Matanzas, another ship
will quietly be slipped to the latter
port, and before Captain General Blan-
60 knows what is happening to him
American ships will be in the harbor
Of every important port in Cuba.
The gradual occupation OF the island
by naval force is understood to be
part and parcel of the negotiations
with the insurgents. When they are
concluded, if everything goes we'll, the
United States will be in position to
offer Spain heavy fancial bonus for
giving up the island. while at the
same time the insurgents will find
themselves in a position to make a
/ junction with the United States naval
forces at any one of the half dozen
\ ports.
A cablegram has been sent by the
state department to Consul Bricc at
Matanzas notifying him that the Mont
gomery is en- route to that port, and
directing him to make the necessary
arrangements for its reception. Al
though it is not admitted by state de-
partment officials, the impression pre-
walls that Consul Brice in advising the
! department of the recent riots oceurr.
ing in Matanzas, suggested that war.
ship should be Immediately sent there
for the protection of American inter
ests. The fact that the state depart.
ment requested that the Montgome,y y
be sent there strengthens this belief.
The sending OF the Montgomery to
Matanzas is regarded here as of equal
importance to the dispatching OF the
/ Maine to Havana.

Stole chnrltx Passes.

Cincinnati, Feb. THE railways
here have discovered that they have
been swindled out Of thousands OF dol
lars by bogus orders Of the mayor for
pauper passes. These orders were
printed and bound in pads with the
name of tho mayor and his secretary
printed on them. Instead of signing
them, the city scaler stamp had been
used, but through careessness, the or.
ders were finally given out without
stamping. Recently, many pads got
into the hands Of scalpers and have
been sold for months by ticket brokers.
The discoveries date back as far as last

rank because it was feared he would

pondent OF the Herald. General Rabi's
brother, it is reported, had been ar
rested by order OF General Garcia for
the same reason.
Failing in securing the presentation,
Spaniard here expected General Blanco
to take the field and conduct vigorous
and aggressive campaign. He publicly
announced that such was his intention,
but for some reason his plans miscarried
and now he is coming home without
having struck decisive blow.
Reports say the rebel forces under
General Garcia inflicted a severe blow
on the Spanish under General Linares
and General Luque, killing several
officers. Reports say that So were
killed or wounded.
Volunteers are making threats again,
and the authorities, in order to be fully
prepared, have deemed it necessary to
take precautions against demonstra-
tion. Guards have been placed about
public buildings and the American con-
sulate.
One of the most important engage
ments of the present campaign in the
Orient was fought on January 2l. near
Caiman, between the forces under GEN
eral Luque and the rebels under Gen
eral Garcia. The Spanish, it is report
cd, had 150 killed and large number
wounded. From accounts received the
fight was veritable slaughter, the
Spaniards being boxed up in ravine.
General Luque sent to Cauto, where
the main body OF troops was stationed,
for assistance, and commenced to re.
treat toward Holguin.

considering the fortifcations appropri-

discussion of political topics. The ex-

The featue of the day was the discov-

and the exploitation of the alleged fact
that Dingley, chairman OF the ways

made pot hat. Dingley explained that
the hat was made in New York; that

to increase the appropriations in the
