MCKINLEY MUST WRITE DUTCH.
He Is Scored by Count von Arnm for Failure
 To Do So.
By ROBERT WARNER.

Special Cable to The Age Herald Copy
 righted by w. R. Hearst)
 Berlin, Feb. 19.--In discussing other mat ters in the reichstag today Count von Arnim had this to say of President Me Kinley:
 'aThe count attacked Mckinley bitteriy on account of what he termed Tack of international courtesy He said: When ever, through representatives of foreign governments dispatches are sent from Ber- lin to the various presidents of the repub- lies it is politely worded in the languages of these respective countries. But we do not find tlnis courtesy reciprocatcd in the reply dispatches. The latest comes to us in English. This shows characteristically how our modesty Is misunderstood and ahused alhrnad."

SPANISH WARSHIP, HADROUGH WEATHER In Sailing From the CanarieS to
 America. SERIES OF MINOR CYCLONES Which Ended in Hurricane Responsible For Her Tardiness-Has Vicious Ram and
 Her Guns Have Ten-Mi
 Range.
 
SERIES OF MINOR CYCLONES

New York, Feb. 19.-A reporter of the Associated Press boarded the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya at S:45 a. m. today, in company with Commander Sobral, naval attache of the Spanish legation at Wash ington, Vice-Consul Marano Fabregas Setelo, Don Manuel DeSaurez, secretary of the Spanish consulate, and a detective detailed by Chief of Police McCulagh. As Commander Sobral was not in uniform, the marines were not lined up to receive the visitors, and the formal welcome was replaced by the exchange of hospitable greetings in true Castinan style.
 Everybody on board knew of the Maine's fate, and from the youngest apprentice to the senior officer, all the Spaniards were eager to express their sorrow. An officer long in tho Spanish navy said:
 ''The loss of so many brave men and so fine ship is appalling. The American navy and people have our sincere sym pathy."
 Treachery Theory Scorned
 The idea that the Maine was destroyed by treachery was scorned. Not an officer on board would for moment entertain any solution of the matter other than that it was caused through accident.
 The trip of the Vizcaya from Las Palmas to New York was not without incident Between the Bermudas and Cape Hat teras she ran into series of minor cy clones, which ended in a hurricane
 The hurricane explains the tardiness of the Vizcayas arrival here. The trip across, however was taken leisurely and at- tempt was made to test the remarkable coal capacity of the cruiser. Her bunkers hold coal enough to enable her to steam for twenty consecutive days at the rate of twenty-one miles an hour, an accomplish ment possessed by but few warships
 The hull of the Vizcaya is graceful Her lines are easy, terminating forward in one of the most vicious looking rams ever seen in these waters. Her free board is low, leaving little as a target. The guns in the fore and aft turrents have an effective range of ten miles. On the upper or main battery, two fore and two aft, direct fore and aft fire Is provided.

ADMIRAL MILLER TALKS.
The Man who Raised the Flag over Ha

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Rear Admiral ].
n. Miller, who hoisted the flag over
the Hawaiian islands and proclaimed
them part of the United States, left
this city yesterday after a days stay
for Springfield, o., his boyhood home
Before leaving Admiral Miller said:

ENGLAND is PREPARED.
She Fully Realizes the Menace OF the
Future, but Was Never More Ready
to Meet Her Foes.

Kingston, Jamaica, Nov 4.-The
British naval authorities at Port Royal,
the naval headquarters here, express
the opinion that the order for the
mobilization of the British North
American and West Indian squadron
forms part of grand, comprehensive
scheme for naval demonstration on
the Pacific and Atlantic. intended to
indicate Great Britain's readiness
to face any and all possible
hostile developments. Great Britain,
it is added, fully realizes the menaces
of the future and would as soon accept
war now with France or Russia, or
both, and the present determined dem
onstration indicates that neither of
them will accept this challenge. But
should they do so, Great Britain can
never be more prepared than now.

OUT OF THE SERVICE.
Twenty-sscond Kansas Regiment, In Camp
AT LeavsnwOrth, Receives Its Formal
DischRrge--Pay to Each Man.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov 4-The
Twenty-second Kansas regiment was
mustered out of the service of the
United States yesterday. The ceremony
was very simple one, quite different
from the mastering in ceremony. In
stead of the solemn oath to stand by
the flag until death or victory, the men
formed in line before the paymaster's
tent, and as each man was given his
money he was handed his discharge.
Maj. Hammer, the paymaster, received
Sl04, 900 from Washington yesterday to
pay the men. The average amount
paid to each man was about $50. As
soon as the men were paid they broke
for town and took the first train home
BY tomorrow there will be but few
of them left.

NEGOTIATIONS NOT YET OFF.
The Contentious Made by the Spanish Com
missioners-An Adjournment Taken
Until Tuesday to Consider the
Spanish Presentment.

the Spanish commissioners held the
protocol to make no mention.
In support of these assertions, argu-
ments and demands the Spanish pre-
sentiment invokes Spain's record in the
correspondence by mail and telegraph,
though it is not known unofiicially
whether the Spaniards produced the
message said to have been sent from
Madrid to NJ. Cambon, at the time the
protocol was signed, in which, it was
affirmed, Spain reserved her Philippine
sovereignty.
The presentment was read by Inter
prefer Ferguson, being rendered from
the Spanish, in which it was written,
into English. At the close of the read
ing the Americans said they wished to
have the Spanish statement rendered
into written English for more careful
consideration and an adjournment was
taken to Tuesday,
1t may again be asserted on the
highest authority-as bearing on the
Spanish argument-that when the
protocol was signed there was no
understanding, verbal or otherwise,
which the protocol does not show
forth. Nor have the American com
missioners at any time, on the other
hand, held or believed that the proto-
col determined anything against
Spain's sovereignty in the Philippines

LAYTON TESTIFIES.
Tho General Gives the Particulars of the
Landing on Cuban Ground aud His
March to EI Cansy.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Acting for the
war investigating commission, Col.
DENLY has taken the testimony of Gen.
Lawton, who was in command of the
Second division of the Fifth corps in
the Santiago campaign and who has
but recently been relieved of the COM
mand of the department of Santiago.
His narration began with the embark
alton of the troops at Tampa. Speak
ing of the voyage over, he said the
transports were furnished as we'll as
could be expected, as they were not
troopships. The medical commissary
supplies were sufficient to prevent alb
solute discomfort. True, there was
some confusion, owing to misunder-
standing Of orders, but the general
did not believe that any hardship had
been occasioned thereby.
After giving particulars of the land
ing, Gen. Lawton described his march
to Siboney, referred to the battle OF
Guasimas and told how he pushed for
ward towards FL Ceney and prepared
for the fight there He said his dlvi.
sion had lost 4lO men killed and
wounded and that all the wounded had
been accounted for. 1t was true as re-
ported, he said that men had to wear
their shirts for possibly 80 days with
out change, but this was because they
had thrown away their extra clothing.
He said the climate was responsible
for the sickness that followed the cam
paign, though it was possible that
with more appropriate food, better

ness might have been prevented.
Summing up, Gen. Lawton said:
talking into consideration the condi-
tions that we were obliged to face, the
character of the country, its climate
and other things being considered, |
can say there were no serious or gross
mistakes made. | can say there was
no lack of care on the part of any of
those in authority, whose duty it was
to look after the interests of the camp"

Paris, Nov. 5.--The Spanish commits
sioners, in the course of a two-hours'
session of the peace conference yester-
day, fatty refused to accept the propo-
sition made by the Americans to take
the entire Philippine group and to re-
imburse Spain for her "pacifc" ex-
penditures there. This negative ac-
ton was expected. The Spanish COM
missioners had also a number of posi-
tive declarations which filed some 81
sheets of typewriter presentment
In this statement the Spaniards held
that the United States had no ulti-
mate rights in the Philippine islands
and could have none save by the con-
sent of Spain in these negotiations
and upon terms satisfactory to her.
According to the Spanish contention
in the formal statement, the United
States entertained no thought of an
neXing the Philippines when the pro-
tocol was signed or it would have been
expressed in the protocol as clearly as
the conditions regarding the cesson of
territory in the Antilles and the ORR
emit NJ. Cambon, before the signature
of the protocol, received from Madrid
the presentiment alleged-a cable
message clearly setting forth that the
maintenance of Spain's authority over
the Philippines should not be affected
by the protocol, to which reservation

THEY FEAR THE BUYERS.
Three Nebraska Brothers who Used Life

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5.-A remark
able petition has been filed in the dis
trict court by Charles f., David w.
and George X. Brown, who seek to
have Receiver Hill, of the defunct Linz
coin savings bank restrained from SELL
ing to the highest bidder insurance
policies aggregating $4,000 on their
lives, pledged. TO secure a loan.
The claim is advanced that by
thus disposing of the policies
the lives of the plaintiffs are placed
in jeopardy. The Brown brothers
used their life insurance as collateral
for a loan. The policies may be
paid only at the death of the as
sured, hence the claim is made that
by transferring them a great induce

PROBLEMS IN CUBA.
The Natives Too Indolent and En-
ervated to Do Much Work.
CARE IN SELECTING CAMP SITES.
Secretary Aiger Approve. the Locations
Chosen by tho Hccher Board In tho

pasnt. In Puerto prinoipa

Santiago, Nov. s.-The main prob
lens to be faced by the province of
SantiaRo-in fact, by the entire island
of Cuba In its effort TO throw Off the
lethsrRy Of centuries those which,
to a greater or less degree, affiict all
communities, namely, capital and la
Dor. With regard to the first. there
are a very large number of people only
desiring an opportunity to invest in
the island as soon as a settled form of
government Is decided upon, but who
naturally, under present conditions,
knowing nothing regarding the future
safeguards to property or the amount
of taxes to be levied, or the stability
of the future government when 1t is
formed, hesitate to risk their money.
In this province alone IL Is estimated
that there are fully $50 900. 900 only
waiting for an assured form of govern
ment to be at once invested in business
enterprises.
A still greater problem to be solved
is the labor question, for even the ex-
listing industries are crippled for want
of hands, this particularly applying
20 the mines. The pay is from rs
cents day upward, or about the same
as paid in the phosphate mines of
Florida, and the mines will board the
laborers at % cents day. 1t may be
taken as an established fact that the
present generation of Cubans will
never become miners. They are far
too enervated and indolent, and the
negro race here find the means
of lazy subsistence too easily
at hand to have any incentive To- la
Dor. The Cuban may do a little light
work; he may make few cigars, or he
may even condescend to do a little
house work. if you do not expect too
much in the way of cleaning, but
what he prefers is to put on a few
stars, huge pair of boots, enormous
spurs and a handsome chapeau won.
drous to behold, mount an easy going
Cuban pony and parade the principal
streets Give this to the Cuban, white
or colored, and you have him as pleased
as child with new toy, as proud AS
peacock and about as sensible as an
ostrich.
The mine owners and other large
employers of labor are considering
some plan whereby they can overcome
the difficulty of obtaining men. The
Spanish American Iron company has
sent to Spain for 500 men. No one can
take three hours ride over this part
of the island without being impressed
with the fact that the earth is abou
the most productive on the face of the
globe, and that a man with family
and 5000 or $500 is probably better of
here than anywhere else in the world.
