SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Another Quiet Day Along the Line Of the
Strike

Boston, Jan. 2O-The sum total of new
features in today's progress of the tex
tile troubles was the shutting down of
the Cabot mill at Brunswick, Me-, be-
cause of desertion Of help in sympathy
with striking weavers, and the an
nouncement that small mill of the So
cial Manufacturing Company, at Woon-
socket, r. l., would shut down for few
days for lack of orders.
Along the line of battle from New Bed
ford, Mass, to Lewiston, Me, there was
absolutely quiet. The state board of ar
bitration sent Member Richard P. Bar
ry to the former place to see il the strik-
erS would not abandon the filming issue,
but the outcome of his errand will only
show in the talk at the union meetings
tomorrow.
In Fall River the discomfort, although
entirely beneath the surface, is growing,
and the mill officials are apprehensive.
The stubborness of the operatives in
defending their position is shown in
Biddeford Me-, where arrangements for
serving strike rations of soup and food
are being made. Here the citizens even
to Chinese laundrymen, are contributing
money, and societies are offering all
sorts of aid. ST. Johns Society has
pledged SIS a week Laconia Lodge of
Odd Fellows has offered the use of its
hall and dishes.

PRESIDENTS POLICY.
Autonomy Plan Has Not Yet Had Fair
Trial

rial.
Washington, Jan. 20-Accurately i'm
formed members of congress say that
the policy of the administration as to
Cuba Is in substance as follows:
At the present moment it is felt that
the same material conditions prevail
that existed when the president sent his
last message to congress. AT that time
it was stated that the plan of autonomy
having been inauglfated, 1t was the
purpose of the executive branch to give
proper time for this plan to be tried.
The administration is said to entertain
the same sentiments today The auto
nomous plan was inaugurated three
weeks ago, namely, on JAN 1, when the
autonomous cabinet took office, so that
it is felt that there has not been ade-
quate time up to the present time to
form any fair judgment as to the merits
of the plan as means of ameliorating
conditions ON the island. The recent oc-
currenceS at Havana are looked upon
as affording evidence of discomfort with
the plan, but whether this will be suff1-
cient to overcome the plan itself is not
looked upon as esta blished with any de-
gree of certainty. In the meantime the
administration has adopted every pre-
caution to guarantee against any sud
den emergency, such as an uprising
that will threaten American interests.
This is not expected to occur, but if 1T
should come, it is said that the naval
vessels of the United States can be in
the harbor of Havana within six hours.
In order that there may be no delay
should any emergency arise it is said
that Consul General Lee has been en-
powered to make direct requests to the
commanders of the warships, so that the
vessels could start on receipt of word
from him. To a great extent the intelli
gent Judgment of General Lee is relied
upon as to determining if an emergency
requires the presence of American yes
sells This, however, applies solely to the
question of a tumult of a critical nature,
and has no connection with the general
question of intervention for the purpose
Of bringing the war to close.

IN THE SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 2O-By the decisive
vote of Al to 25, the senate today decid-
ed to proceed at once to the considera-
ton of the resolution introduced a few
DAYS ago by Mr. Teller of Colorado,
providing for the payment of bonds of
the United States in silver at the OPP
ton of the government The resolution
provides:
THAT all bonds Of the United States
issued or authorized to be issued under
the said acts of congress herelnbefore
recited are payable, principal and inter-
est, at the option of the government OF
the United States, in silver dollars OF
the coinage Of the United States, con-
tanning four hundred and twelve and
one-hah grains each of standard silver;
and that to restore to its coinage such
silver coins as legal tender in pay
ment Of said bonds, principal and in
terest, is not in violation of the pub
lie faith nor in derogat,on of the rights
of the public creditor"
Mr. Vest of Missouri, the member of
the finance committee who had charge
of the resolution, spoke briefly upon 1t,
but disclaimed any desire at this time
to thresh over old straw of financial
discussion He believed, however, that
the time was ripe for a reiteration with
emphasis of the declarations of the
Stanley Matthews resolution, which had
been placed on the statute books TWEEN
ty years ago, particularly in view of
recent statements of the secretary of
the treasury, in which the president,
who had as a member OF the house

Galisteo, N. NJ, March 14~.-Sickness
Is with US to a great extent. In the last
ten days, three women and two children
have died in this place. Measles are in
nearly every house. A sheep herder
came into %Coloradito, about five miles
from here, with the smallpox and now
there are about eight or nine people
there who have caught it; he was taken
sick at Pinos Wells, in Valencia county.
Happily no deaths have occurred there,
and all are doing well.
The sheep and cattle men are jubilant
these. days. They have been offered 20
cents a pound for their spring clip, and
81 a head for their wethers, which they
have refused. You must remember that
the yearling wethers are those which
buyers threw out in the fall, when all
the sheep men sold their lambs. And
yet you will find in this place sheep men
who will vote and work against the Re-
publican party and against their own in
terests. A small bunch of old ewes,
corr and alfalfa fed, sold for SO a head;
q bunch of steer calves sold for $16. 60 q
head and another bunch of calves are
being held, for higher prices.

highly of Governor Otero and say that
now New Mexico has the right man in
the executive chair, a man who Is not
afraid to do right.

LEAYE THE CANNON In NEW MEXICO.
Protest Against Attempt to Deprive Terri
tory of Trophies of War.

Cecil A. Deane. custodian of the
state war relic department, yesterday
received y letter from Congressman
Shafroth In Washington which stated
that he would introduce a bill in con-
gress providing for the gift of four brass
cannons'belonging to the'government, to
Colorado. The four guns in question
were buried at Albuquerque In 1862
by General Sibley, the confederate Of
ficer.
1t is proposed by the board of capitol
managers to mount the big guns at the
corners of the capitol grounds. They
will be highly priced by the g. A. R. OF
the state for the reason that it was the
Colorado cavalry volunteers who de-
stroyed their usefulness to the con
federates.
NJ. w. Bailey has presented the de-
partment with the autograph of John 5.

and Spencer carbine which he carried
in the civil war. He was a member of

handsome banner may be seen on both
sides. The banner is said to be valued
at nearly $50O.-Denver Republican.
In regard to the cannon here men
toned, a member of the Santa Fe Grand
Army post, says:
why has Colorado any more right to
take these guns away from New Mexico
than California, and why should they
not remain in New Mexico where they
were buried? Both Colorado and Cali
fornia sent good soldiers to New Mexico
during the wal of the rebellion, and at
this late date why should We not tote
fair? Send some to Colorado, some to
California, some to Arizona, some to
Texas, but please leave II or two for
the Albuquerque and Santa Fe Grand
Army posts"
