LEES REPORTS ON RIOTS.

Washington, January l4-United States
Consul General Lee has reported TO the
State Department. from Havana under
date of yesterday, the facts connected
with the rioting there yesterday. Accord
ing to General Lees report. the disturb
ance had been quelled for the time being;
but he was apprehensive OF another OUT
break At al y moment.
General Lee did not ask to have war
ship sent to Havana and in the opinion
of the State Department officials trat Is
sufficient reason for the assumption that
there is no reason for sending one.
The officials are evidently not apprehen.
sive of any trouble in the immediate
future that will require the forcible inter
vention OF our government. The disqulet-
ing feature of the situation is the horrible
condition of the poor in Cuba.
According to Lees adVices, no less than
200, 900 people on the island are in the last
stages Of destitution and are wholly de-
pendent upon charity. In the opinion Of
General Lee no less than twenty per cent
of these, poor people are surely doomed to
death from starvation and disease. In

Inspectoy Finds the Charges Against Him
Unfounded.
ESPECIAL TO THE rREsss1

Washington, Jan. l3-The charges
against Collector John w. Deering, of
Portland, preferred by ex-Immigrant In
spector Fogg, have been examined into
by special agent of the Customs Divis-
ion of the Treasury Department., and his
report is now on file here. Considerable
testimony was taken at the Portland
Custom House, the employees being gener-
ally called on for opinions. The wit
nesses were, however, generally if not
entirely those specified by Mr.. Fogg as
likely to support his contention. This
testimony has been reviewed by Super
vising Special Agent W. S. Chance, of
the Special Agents Division in the Treas
ury and he ooncurs in the recommended
tion of the local special agent, who en-
tire,y vindicates Collector Deering. The
testimony of Mr.. Fogg's own witnesses
was such as to show no foundation for
the charges. This, therefore, is undoubt-
edIy the end of the matter. The testi-
mony given is regarded as confidential by
the department.

Court House was crowded with dele
gates representing TWENTY-FIVE towns.
Rev. Charles Harbut of Presque Isle,
presented a petition signed by 1900 citi-
zens in the county demanding better
enforcement of the Prohibition law.
Mrs. T.. NJ. N. Stevens, of Port
land, President of the Maine w. O. T.U.,
County Commissioner Dunn. Mrs. Por-
ter of Caribou, Mrs. w. g. Spaulding,
Mrs. Adelaide johnson of Fort Fairfield,
Rev. G. E. Owen and Rev. II. L. Nc
Cam spoke for the temperance workers
of the State.
Governor Powers made a statement
announcing that he would answer any
question the delegates desired to ask
concerning tie methods employed to en-
force the law.
A number of questions were asked and
his excellency replied to them showing
his sympathies were with the temper
ance cause. The petition bearing 2200
of Aroostook county citizens
asking that officers be instructed to en-
force the prohibitory law was next pre-
sented to Gov. Powers. In response the
governor spoke 20 minutes assuring his
hearers that he felt with them that the
law was not rigidly enforced. But as
governor he had no power to insist that
the officers enforce the law. The meet
ing came to an end soon after and Gov.
Powers held short reception. While
the Civic league hearing was in fact a
general one, it seems that the governor
had only promised 10 meet committee
of the league to receive the petition.
However, the governor was well received
and the event became of more than local
importance.

Despite the Assurances That None Will Be
Dispatched to Havana and That the
Trouble Has Been Exaggerated--Gen.
Lees Report
Havana, January 13.-About noon to-
day crowd gathered in front of the Office
of FL Diaro de la Marina, shouting
sDeath to Diaro. General Arolas used
the regular troops to restore order and to
compel the dispersal of the crowd, which
kept up continuous shouting on the
streets near Central park.
These people accuse this paper of being
responsible for all the attacks made upon
army officers and Spanish residents in the
islands. A man selling FL Diaro was
shot in the arm. AL classes commend
the authorities for avoiding unnecessary
force or violence in the use of the soldiery
and the police.
Last night at the palace Gen. Blanco
and the autonomist cabinet were joined
by the civil governor Of Havana, the
colonies and chiefs of the volunteers and
other prominent politicians. Senior Con-

Hanna and the members of the legislature
went home today. All will return by
Tuesday next. The leaders on both sides
are still here preparing for another light

Henry H. Payne fourteen years ago, to
the United States Senate. Subpoenas
have been issued for Senator Hnnna,
Major Dick, Mr.. Hoilenbeck, Boyce and
others to appear before the Senate COM

land and Sagadahoc counties have
petitioned that, as public convenience and
the development of the coastwises naviga-
ton, demand the deepening and enlarg-
ing OF the9 passage between Orr's and

ssWill's Straits,'' they ask that this be
done. They further represent that such
improvement would not only be great
MD to the fishermen in that vicinity,
most Of whom are now compelled to go to
the southwark Of Bailey S island, but will
necessarily place all that part of the sea
coast to the eastward of Orr's Island and
to the southwark and westward of Bath
and Phippsburg in direct communication
with the city of Portland by opening up
a steamboat route which is now impraeti-
cable for want of the Improvements aug
gested. The petition has been referred to
the committee on rivers and harbors, who
have such matters in charge.
1T is understood from the debate in the
House on Wednesday that the Secretary
of the Navy proposes to have Engineer
Menocal of the Navy before court
martial, when he shall return to this
country. This is because the Brooklyn
dry dock, which was constructed under
the supervision of Menoeal, has been
found to be very defectively built. This
announcement has considerable import
anoe because Menocal is the engineer who
has made largely the plans and estimates
for the! e!Nicaraguasrcanal,f (which Congress
Is being importuned to appropriate many
millions of dollars. Menocal's estimates
have been criticised by trustworthy engi-
neers; but yet have had large Influence.
If court martial should show him in an
unfavorable light in regard to the dry
dock 1t would operate seriously against
the Nicaragua project, which already has
excited the distrust OF many of the best
informed members.

HANNA'S HOME COMING.
Cleveland, Ohio, January 49, Senator
Hanna was received in this city today up
on his return from Columbus with an en-
thusiasm far greater than which has
been accorded any public man in this city
in decade. The Tippecanoe club, the
Business Mems league and the Republi-
can Shops clubs, marched to the Union
depot, where Senator Hanna was met by
them. He was escorted to a carriage and
rode to the Hollenden with James HoyU.
The Senator was Justify cheered along the
line of march. A public hand shaking
reception occurred in the lobby of the
hotel and the Senator was congratulated
on all sides. Senator Hanna received an
enthusiastic ovation all along the route
from Columbus to Cleveland and at
several points made brief addresses to the
assembled crowds. Senator Hanna, at the
Hollenden, madea very happy speech. He
said: "This homecoming is swee5er to

Columbus O., January 13.-Both
branches of the legislature adjourned to-
day until Tuesday. In the Senate those
for tho investigation of the bribery
charges changed their votes. Subpoenas
were Issued for Dick, Hollenback and
others to restify next Monday.
In the House there was long discus
sion on the Otis bribery resolution. AS
the Republicans expect to re0rganiZe the
House an attempt was made to postpone
the Otis resolution so that Speaker Mason
would not not appoint the committee to
conduct the investigation. The House re-
fused to postpone the resolution sand it
was adopted "a to 5, most of the Republi-
cans not voting.
When Scott, ore of the dissenting Re-
publicans asked Boxwell question the
latter answered that he would not reply
to traitors. When Speaker Mason had
Boxwell's words taken down the latter
said it mattered not what the chair held
as there would soon be another speaker.
