WHAT OF rHE CUBANse

1t appears General Garcia is not dead
at all, but simply has thrown down his
doll rags, gone off to the mountains
and refused to play any longer with
the Americans. The Cuban general
and his troops are highly indignant
becauses General Shafter refuses to
turn Santiago over to them to pillage
and loot. That is probably the secret
of the fit of sulks into which Garcia
has thrown himself, although he
claims to have been insulted by Shat
ter, who did not invite him to be pres
ent at the surrender of Santiago or no.

The Cubans are evidently a very

races not far advanced along the road

THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Effort to Postpone It's Consfdera-
ton.


The republican senators who voted in
opposition to their party on the Teller
resolution will probably seek an oppor-
tunity next week to explain their position
at length, and in doing SO they will seek
to have the further consideration of the
Hawaiian treaty postponed Very few Of
them made speeches while the resolution
was before the Senate, but some of them
row feel that there was an effort to put
them in a false position and that they owe
to themselves to have their position thor
oughly understood.
While these senators are all favorable TO
the treaty some of them speak quite indif-
ferently as to its present fate, and it IS
even fntimated that they would like to
hold 1t up temporarily in order to en-
phasize their antagonism to Secretary
Cages financial position at the expense OF
the treaty. This. it is argued, would serve
to make 1t clear to the country where they
stand. One of the leaders of this coterie
said today:
There is no intention even upon the
part Of the warmest friends Of the treaty
to vote upon 1t for a month yet, and we see
no reason for pressing the debate upon it.
Hence the republican bimetaIlists will an
tagonize any effort to Immediately proceed
with its consideration. We shall for the
present claim all the time of the Senate
not devoted to appropriation bills
He said that a resolution would be intro
duced and made the basis of the financial
discussion which they intend to start.

Mr.. Phil Frank:
Il walked into Skaguay on January 10
from Dawson City and had a months rest
in the frozen city. but the frost did not
drive me out of there. only the lack of
work and business. Klondike is not as
good as they make it on the outside
1t is a railroad and steamship boom,
and that is all l can see in it at present
l could not afford to wait for better times
or take chances to walk out with moth
Ing, while my provisions cost me $3.50.
That would last me until next May or
June, SO l sold my provisions and came
back.
Gore and Sponsler would have come
out, but they were afraid to tackle the
trip. although great many will have to
do II next summer. The first NAH to
Dawson l met on New Year day about
$50 miles this side of Dawson. l wish
had taken your advice. l would have been
better off, but the experience l have now
is worth $500 alone"

TALK OF STRIKE AT LAWRENCE.

5000 operatives of the Atlantic and Pacific
Cotton Manufacturing Corporations finish
ed their work at noon today-unde the old
schedule of wages and on Monday If they
return to work their wages will be 10 per
cent lower. There has been mach talk
of a strike at both places. but from pres
ent appearances it is believed that most
Of the employees will await further de-
velopments III other mill centers before
taking action.
A delegation of union men who came here
to solicit funds in aid of the New Bed
ford strikers are at work today among
the local operatives. One of the New Bed
ford men said that the majority of the
mill hands in the Atlantic and Pacific
plants do not favor strike until the
trouble At New Bedford and other places is
over. Many of the spinners and a number
of the weavers in the mills which have
adopted the cut down are very restless
however, and there is strong possibility
that number will refuse to accept the
reduction.
The mill hands are anxiously awaiting
the reply of the agents of the Pacific mills
TO the request that that corporation take
down the notices, but they do not expect
a favorable answer.

An Interesting Report From Statis
teal Expert Durham.

Mr.. Carroll D. Wright, commissioner OF
labor, has received a personal letter from
Mr.. Samuel c. Durham, statistical expert
Oh the bureau OF labor, who was sent to
the klondike some months ago to investi-
gate and report on its industrial possibil-
ties. The letter is dated Circle City, Ala
ka, November 13, 1897, and gives an out
line of the principal features.
Mr.. Durham will incorporate In a, COM
prehensive report of about 400 typewriter
pages. He will endeavor to give an ac-
curate account of the Klondike and the
history of it's development an estimate OF
the probable output. full information rela-
tive to wages, cost OF living opportunities
Tor employment, trails, agricultural DOS
sibilitfes and the local laws and regulations
After outlining these intended features
the letter, speaking Of the reports of hard
ships In the gold country and the stories
of starvation, says:
Il consider the situation grave, but not
desperate. There is food a Fort Yukon for
wv more men than are wintering there
and this can be freighted TO Dawson or

that the transportation companies can feed
the population next year, but 1t is doubted
here.
Il have secured an accurate statement of
the amount of freight landed in Dawson by
the steamers during the season, made up
nom the nianfests of the boats and from

cd there, and between 100 and 800 tons of

men, and much of it was consumed during
the summer.

WANT MORE TIME.
Callers in the Interest of the Brown
Electric System.

Electric System.
The promoters of the Brown underground
electric system, the further operation of
which on the line of the Capital Railway
Company in Southeast Washington was
ordered discontinued yesterday afternoon
by majority Of the District Commission
ers. will apply to Congress for such legis-
lation as will enable them to operate the
system here further, as they stoutly con-
tend they are able to perfect it.
Mr.. Thomas Dupont, general manager of
Johnson Company, the owners OF the
Brown system, called upon the Commits
sioners this morning and again this after
noon, the last time being accompanied by
no less parsonage than Senator Mark
Hanna of Ohio. AS Commissioner Ross is
in favor of granting the company further
time in which to perfect the system, Sem
ator Hanna and Mr.. Dupont saw only Com
missioners Wight and Black, and a general
discussion Of the matter followed, with the
result that it was agreed that the pro-
motors Of the system should apply to Con-
gresS for relief
Senator Hanna explained that the John
son Company being composed of constitu-
ents of his in Ohio. and he being rail-
road man, he is naturally very much in
terested in the ease. He explained too,
that while neither he nor the managers
of. the Johnson Company had any criti-
clsm to make respecting the action of the
Commissioners In the matter, yet they
earnestly desire that the discontinuance OF
the system here should not be construed as
a condemnation of 1t.
Commissioners Wight and Black stated
that they do not wish to be understood
as condemning the Brown system, but
merely as deciding that as operated here
during the past nine months 1t has been
demonstrated that. its further use is in
admissible in the streets Of Washington.
They are willing to admit, however, that
for obvious causes the system. which has at
all times been under the management of
the Johnson company alone, has not been
given such. a trial here as it appears to
have deserved. therefore. they do not
wish to be uhders4ood as passing any re-
Election on the sE9em.
But the Commissioners said that they are
more in the aH& and. therefore, recon-.
mended that ths ohnson company apply
to Congress Nor 4&rther time in which to
operate, and pd4bible, remove the imper-
fections novE exi4ing. 1t was thereupon
decided by ~. D4pont that Congress will
be asked byHthe company to grant them
such author3H.

ALLEGED FALSE PRETENsEs
Suit Filed Today for the Recovery of
$1,000.


$1,000.
Suit was entered today in the Supreme
Court by John B. Henderson against Max
Bleiman of New York for the recovery of
the sum of $1,000. alleged to have been
leaned the defendant January 20.
The bill states that Bleiman came TO him
a total stranger, representing himself to
be one OF the lessees of the Herald Square
IEeater In New York. The plaintiff fur
ther declares that he wished to borrow
the sum of $1,000 with which to renew his
lease, which was represented as being
about to expire.
Bleiman, it is alleged, offered as security
for the money some valuable family paint
ings represented as his personal property
the work of such distinguished artists as
Gerome. de Neuvon Leignac. a canvas by
Ridgeway Knight and one by Mile. Sal
ason, an unknown artist. Plaintiff al
leges that Bleiman assured him all the
paintings were the work Of the artists
claimed, and purchased from. the artists
themselves either by the defendant or by
his father for the actual use and enjoy
ment Of the family of defendant and not
for sale.
Henderson claims that, relying on Blei-
snan's statement, he made the loan for
which note was given by Bleiman, pay
able on or before the expiration of three
months from date, to the order of the
plaintin, with 6 per cent interest Hem
derson declares he agreed to deliver the
paintings to the defendant on the pay
ment of the 81 900.
Henderson further alleges that BIeiman
told him he owned valuable painting by
Benjamin Constant Of Paris, and that at
any time, at the demand of the plaintiff or
his wife, Bleiman would exchange the de
Melville picture, which. 1t was claimed,
was worth $4,000, for this.
The plaintiff states that he has reason,
from information received, to think that
Bleiman made false representations to
him, and that he was a picture dealer.
Furthermore, that the pictures were not as
represented. Plaintiff alleges that the
Ridgeway knight picture and that purport-
ing to be the work of Nile Salason, are
unimpCrtant in character.
Henderson says that he tried to exchange
the de Neuvon canvas for the one held
by Bleiman, and claimed to be by Ben
tamin Constant, but that the defendant
refused to permit 1T.
Mr.. Henderson appeared before notary
public and made affidavit that Max Blei-
man, being resident of New York, has
within the jurisdiction of the court a GER
tain valuable oil painting or paintings of
the value Of several Thousand dollars,
which Bleiman Is about to remove be-
yond the jurisdiction OF the court. for
the purpose of defeating the payment of
just demands against MIN. including that
of the plaintiff.
