Mr., Gallinger Tells Senator'S OF the
Horrors of Cuba.
Washington, March 24.-A Vivid word
picture of the horrors and barbarities
of concentration on the island of Cuba
was drawn In the senate yesterday by
Mr. Gallinger, of New Hampshire, who
recently visited Cuba. Mr.. Gallinger
spoke In low, clear tone Of voice, dis
tinctly audible throughout the chamber
His auditors listened intently to his
description of the horrors and crueltles
suffered by the reconcentrados, but
gave no outward manifestation Of their
feelings. When he declared however,
that a government that would starve
100000 of its people would do anything,
and followed this with the further dec
laration that the lives of the brave
men lost in the Maine disaster could
not be atoned for with gold OF silver,
spontaneous wave of applause swept
over the crowded galleries, and the
vice president had difficulty In restor-
Ing order. When he had concluded he
was accorded tremendous burst of
applause, which the vice president
made little effort to restrain.

government to avoid wa except to

river division OF the United States en-
gtneers, whose dealings In time checks
to the extent of nearly $4,000 were
made public yesterday, was arrested
last evening by United States Marshal
OConnor, and later In the evening APP
peared before United States Commits

waived preliminary examination and
pleading, and being unable to secure
bondsmen up to 1890 O'Clock, bond
having been fixed at $4,000, Southall
was committed to the Ramsey county
jail, being held for appearance before
the United States grand jury in this
city on June 28 next.
The charge to which Southall must
answer is that of uttering false claims
against the United States government.
Aside from the arrest and hearing of
Southall there were no developments

suffered, who feared they have lost,
preferring to keep the fact to them
selves. The amount of time checks
outstanding Is still unknown, and has

half a million
