A MESSAGE TO SPAIN.
NOTIFIED THAT PROSTITUTES
MUST CEASE N CUBA.
Spain Reply Will Mean War.

HOSTlLITIES MUST CEASE IN CUBA.
San Francisco, March 26-It is claimed
on the most positive information that the
United States if it has not already done
so, will notify Spain that all hostilities
must cease on the island of Cuba, as the
condition of affairs there has become in
tolerable to the people of the United
States.
This policy is in full accord with the
Presidents message of Dec. 9th.
SPAIN DEFIANT.
Reports from Madrid are to the effect
that the Spanish reply will not be as the
sanguine Optimsts expect and that the
outlook is decidedly serious. 1t is as
serted that the Spanish Government will
accept no dictation from America on the
Cuban question, preferring to accept the
guage of battle.
THE TORPEDO FLEET.
New York. March 26.-The report that
a fleet has been sent to intercept Spain's
torpedo fleet is untrue. No effort has vet
been made to interfere with the move
ment of the Spanish fleet and no protests
have yet been made to Spain regarding
its advance, SO far as can be learned.
WAR AHEAD.
Madrid, March 26-The official organ
of SagaSta sees nothing but war ahead
and that there is nothing to relieve the
seriousness OF the situation which is af-
tecting all classes.
MOBELIZING THE FORCES.
Chicago, March 26.-All officers on the
retired list here have received notices
from the Navy Department to hold them
selves in readiness for active service
! The New York State Militia have re
ceiVed orders to hold tn emsclveS at call,

THAT OKLAHOMA OUTRAGE.
How tho Two Seminole Indians wer
Tortured nt the Stake.

How tho Two Seminole Indians Were
Tortured Mt the Stake.
WASHINGTON. Feb. THE attorney
general sent to the senate to-day letter
written by Assistant United States At
torney McMechen, giving the results Of
his Investigation into the recent burning
oftwo Seminole Indians in Oklahoma by
q mob. He says that the sentiment in
the neighborhood OF the crime ls all with
the mob. and he was informed that It
would not be well for him or any other
person to go into that locality II It was
known that the object was To locate the
corsp!rators.
Mr.. McMechen's letter tells In the main
an old story, but he gives some new de-
tails. McG!sy was, he says, the first Of
the Indians to move muscle after the
torch was applied and he did no. move
Until the flesh was beginning to drop
from his limbs and was beginning TO
touch his ears. He then gave loud
whoop and bent over as far as the chain
would allow him. and sucking In the
flames sank down and expired without
showing any more signs OF pain.
Not SO with Palmer Samps,a; he did
not move until AFTER McGIsy had inhaled
the flames. Then he commenced to kick
with both feet, throwing burning pieces
OF wood twenty-five or fifty feet away.
1t was with difficulty that they succeed
ed In getting him burned"
Mr.. McMechen says that q Baptist
minister named Hiram Holt prayed for
the two Indians before the execution,
and that as he k,,elt In prayer he held
rifle in his hand.

"A PLEA MADE
In the Senate In Behalf OF Admiral wor.
~ denfs Family.


WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 7.--Mr.
Chandler IN. Hl presented Il memorial
to-day which called to the attention ot
the senate to one o, the most thrilling
events OF the civil war. The memorial
was prepared in 1874 by the late Ad-
m!ral Worden, who. as 4 lieutenant in
the navy, commanded the Monlto. In
the historic fight In Hampton roads be-
tween that weasel and the ironclad
Merrlmac. Mr.. Chandler said that Ad-
miral Worden conceived the idea that
1t would be proper FOR the government
OF the United States to pay 10 the ot!l-
GERS and crew OF the Monitor the sum
OF 5000 each, In the nature OF prize
money. but after having prepared the
memorial concluded not TO present II
to Congress. lest his motives might be
mlsconstrucd.
Mr.. Chandler said that he now took &C.
cas!on to present the memorial HIM
self, and he hoped that Congress might
see It's way clear, In view OF the Won
derful feat achieved by Admiral Wor-
den. to do something substantial for the
surviving members OF his family, who
ore not In good financial circumstances.
Mr.. Chandler was OF the opinion that
this was not case simply for PEN
sion. as the extraordinary services rem
derd by the Monitors commander and
crew rendered It deserving OF special
consideration. He asked that the mem
orIal be referred to the naval affairs
committee. his idea being, he said. that
the committee and the secretary OF the
navy could evolve some plan whereby
suitable recognition by the government
could be made Of the great services
rendered this country by Admiral Wor-
den.
Mr.. Hale (Maine) paid high tribute
to Admiral Worden. both as n man
and as naval officer. and he appealed
to the senate to accord not only Just
but generous treatment 70 the survly-
Ing members OF his family.

CLEVELAND. O., Feb. THE state
senate trust investigating committee
again convened here at the Forest City,
House this afternoon to examine into
the Standard oil. copperas and several
trusts, Tho Standard oil people were
oil absent from the city when the com-
mittee was In session last week. and
subpoenas could not be served upon
them. 1t Is understood to-day. how
ever. that the sheriff subsequently sue
ceeied In serving the papers upon sev-
eral officials OF the company.
A number OF witnesses wcre exam
ined. but little OF value was learned
except as regards the oil trust. John
Teagle, OF the oil refining firm oe
Scoheld. Shurmer & Teagle. which for
years has been fighting the Standard
company, proved an interesting wilt
ness. He declared that the Standard
was constantly and systematically at-,
tempting to injure his firm. He said
the Standard agents endeavored to as
certain where the salesman OF the flru,
obtained orders for oil. The agents
would so TO these intending purchasers
and offer to cut the price II the oil was
bought OF the Standard, and threaten.
In case this was not done, TO sell to
every other dealer In the same town 50
cheaply that the dealers refusing could
not compete with them. Mr.. Teagle
showed letters from customers In sup
port OF these statements. He then
briefly told OF the suit which his Arm
won against the Lake Shore railroad
in 1884 for discriminating In freight
rates on oil against Scofeld. Shurmer d
Tcagle, In favor OF the Standard OIL
Company. la
Mr.. Teag!e. who was under oath. then
testified that the Standard had at.
tempted. through a middle man, to
bribe the bookkeeper OF his firm. The
bookkeeper, he stated. was offered $50
month to Civ constant!nformation re-
gardlng the shipments. prices and cost
of manufacturing Of Scofield. shur-
mer & TeaSle. Mr.. Teasle testified
that the bookkeepe requested time In
which to consider the matter, took SIS,
which the agent rendered as pay In ad-
vance, and then laid the whole trans
action before his employers. The Wit
ness said that he and his partner. MI.
Scotield, took the s25. and going to ths
office off. B. Squire. the secretary OF the
Ohio corporation OF the Standard oil
trust. laid the money on his desk and
told h!mthat they always stood ready to
give him any information which It was
proper for him to know about the af-
fairs OF their firm.
Still under oath. Mr.. Teagle declared
that Mr.. Squire acknowledged to them
that he had caused the agent to be
sent to the bookkeeper. The witness
testified that the Standard has about
SIS per cent OF the oil buslnss OF tho
country.
Secretary F. B. Squire was called as
q witness. and he denied he statement

SUFFERING IN CUBA
Beyond Description-No Indication That
Wnr will CIo.n Snon.

Beyond Descriptlon-No Indication That
War viii Close soon.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, Feb. 7.-Dr. C.
N. Thompson. of Cleveland. who has
Just returned from Cuba. where he has
been studying the existing conditions on
the island for several months past. is
now In Cleveland. and In speaking OF
the war said:
From the present Indications the war
In Cuba will continue for q long time
to come. The Spanish will never grant
tho Cubans their liberty as long as they
can possibly help It. The Spanish are
not only proud, but very patriotic
people. They realize that four hundred
years ago they were the greatest and
most powerful nation and ruled one
tenth OF the land on the globe.
Treaty between the Cubans and
Spanish IS absolutely out OF the ques-
tion. The hatred between them was so
strong before the war, and such terri
BILE suffering as both sides have en-
dured since the war has commenced has
intensified this feeling. The talk OF Gu
bans accepting home rule Is simply ri
diculous. Equally absurd is the idea OF
Spain granting Cubans home rule, as we
Americans understand home rulo.
THE policy OF Cubans Is not to fight
important battles. They justly say yell
low fever Is destroying the Spanish
army fast enough. Their plan is to
wear Spain out financially. and the
Spanish nation Is so weak financially
that she finds II impossible to raise the
necessary s5S.000.000 annually to carry
on the Cuban war. and an additional
SOS. 100000 each year to pay the interest
on her great debt.
THE reports about the awful suffer-
Ing; among Cuban women and children
are TO some extent correct. In the large
cities the suffering Is not near so great
as In the Interior OF Cuba. In some
towns that visited the suffering Is be-
yond description. and awful enough to
make strong mans heart ache, and
the longer the war continues the great
er Is the suftering."
