DEPLoRABLE PICTURE.
Cuba No Better Under Blanco Than
Under Butcher Weyler.

Washington. Feb. Cuba usurped
the place o. Hawaii in the proceedings
of the senate today, and was under
consideration for an hour or more.
The proceeding was based upon dOcu-
ment presented by Senator Morgan of
Alabama, as the result of an interview
between himself and a Mr.. Koop of
Boston. In presenting the document,
Senator Morgan said that Mr.. Koop
was a capitalist who had but recently
returned from Cuba, after a most ex-
haustive inspection of he,island. Sen
ator Morgan laid considerable stress
upon the Importance of the document,
which resulted from stenographic
report of the interview between Sena-
tor Morgan and Mr.. Koop. The docu-
ment consisted of questions by Senator
Morgan and replies by Mr.. Koop.
NO IMPROVEMENT
The latter said that he had been in
43 provinces and had spent more or
less time in each of them in the prose-
cution of his inquiries. In no place
outside of Havana, he said, was any
effort made to take care of the recon-
centrados, and he declared that the
people were dying in great numbers in
all places in which they had been col
lected together by the Spanish authori-
ties, both as a result of the cruelty of
the Spanish troops and for lack or food.
He declared that there was no lack of
evidence in the provinces of a more lib
eral treatment of these unfortunate
people under the administration Of Cen
eraI Blanco than there had been under
the Weyler regime, and said that the
people in general were in just as de-
plorable condition as they had been
before the change. In no case were
the reconcentrados allowed to go out
side the military posts to collect food,
and while there was some effort in GER
tain instances to grow crops in the
immediate vicinity of the garrisOns,
these crop areas did not extend more
than 500 yards from the forts. He
added that if the people were allowed
to get out they could get enough food
to keep soul and body together, but

Mr.. Morgan of Alabama secured the
adoption of the following resolution:
THAT the committee on naval affairs
is instructed to inquire and report

to any warship in the world, to be

and that the committee have leave to
report at any time, by bill or other
wise
The resolution was adopted without
debate.
At 1:3O the senate went into executive
session, and. at 4 p. m, adjourned.
IT'S PASSAGE CERTAIN.
It is almost probable that the bill
which passed the senate today TO ere
ate two additional regiments of artil-
lery will pass the house without much
opposition, if it is reported while the
house is in its present temper. The mil
itary affairs committee. not the apprO-
priations committee, has jurisdiction
over this bill, and Chairman Hull is
now absent at his home in Iowa No
cnposition is likely to be encountered
from the appropriations committee.
Chairman Cannon Is heartily in favor
OF it but he wants it distinctly under
stood that his support is in no wise
based upon sentiment produced by the
Maine disaster or any idea that the sit
uation is at all critical.

bill providing two new regiments of

pressed to The Herald this evening the
belief that this legislation was very de-
sirable and a step that should have been
taken long ago While the bill carried by
a handsome majority. it is apparent that
it could not have passed except for Cen

bringing il up on Washington's birthday.

ARMY DECREASING.

In reply Mr.. Hawley pointed out
that the strength of the army was
really decreasing in proportion to the
inhabitants of the country. In addl-
ton, he said, congress had made large
appropriations in recent years for great
guns for forts and coast defense sta
fions. of these guns. 1S9 were guns OF
large calibre and delicate mechanism.
To these must be added 232 rifled steel
mortars already placed or soon to be
placed in the coast defense stations
In order that these guns may be
properly handled. a body of trained
artiTlerists is necessary. As much skill
is required to handle these guns as IT
reauireI to run a locomotive or an or
binary river steamer. The war depart
ment estimates that the 1000 men
which this bill calls for will be neces-
sary to properly man these guns
Mr. Coclren of Missouri said he was
opposed 10 an increase in the infantry
or cavalry arrangements of the Serv-
ice, but in this case the country was
confronted by a serious condition. He
regarded it as necessary that the guns
provided by the government should be
properly cared for and manned. For
that reason he had consented as
member of the committee to have the
bill favorably reported. The bill was
then passed. to T. The negative

Washington. Feb. Pas soon as the
reading Of the historic farewell address
of washington was concluded by Mr..
Lodge of Massachusetts in the senate
today, Mr. Hawley of Connecticut,
chairman of the military affairs COM
mittee, called up the bill providing for
the enlistment of two additional regi-
ments of artillery for service in man

past two years.
Mr.. Bate of Tennessee objected to
the bill, because it tended to an IN

already under enlistment to man all

RESPECT SHOWN
AMERICAN VALOR
Europeans Will Have Nothing to Say
Concerning American Possession
After the Courage We Have Shown
in the Present War.

LONDON, July 8. The great victory
of Admiral Sampson's feet has firmly
convinced the great powers of Europe
that the American navy is far greater in
actual force than the powers credit its
theoretical strength. Sneers at the
American navy and army have given
place to commanding respect. The
cowardice OF the French crew in La
Bourgogne disaster makes frances situ-
alton pitiable and humiliating.
After the attitude of the press and the
people in the present war there is no
fear of any great power trying to rob the
United States of the fruits of its victory.
The foreign powers may expect the con-
cession of naval stations in the Philip
pines, but there will probably not be a
word of protest if even this is refused.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
TO BE EXTENDED
1t is Expected That the Road Will Be
Built from COulee City to Chelan.

KENDRICK, Idaho, July 9.-The corps
of surveyors recently at work along the
Clearwater, laying out route to the
Canas Prairie country, were taken off
last week and ordered to the Wateryille
country, where they will begin at once
surveying route for the extension of
the Central Washington railroad from
Coulee City to Chelan, via Waterville.
It is said the work of building the ex-
tension will begin soon. If possible, it
will be finished this fall. This will re-
quire the building OF about 100 miles of
road, which, it is thought, will eventu-
ally be the main line of the Northern
Pacific railway to the coast, as it will
develop a country rich i'll agriculture
and mineral resources, which his COM
paratively little waste land within it's
borders that is adjacent to the route the
road would take.

as soon as you reach the deck"
Under these clear and calmly-delivered
directions the passengers came out
frightened, but orderly, and assembled
on deck, where some of the women
broke down. Captain Ingram and his
officers walked up and down assuring
them there was no cause for alarm; that
boats were being prepared; that the
sea was calm and the land only short
distance away. While the officers were
making the rounds of the state rooms
for the second time, Stewardess Hill
came up with an arm full of life-pre-
servers, which size distributed am ong
the women. One of them half hysteric-
ally dropped hers on deck. "Oh can
never get it on" she wept. "I'll fix it
for you,'' said Miss Hill cheer:ly, and
having bundled up the trembling wo-
man, she went on to the next.

A Notable Example Of Cool Courage
mendabe Action of the Crew Of the Burned Ship Delaware
Goodness and Bravery Saved Many Lives.

''All women to the first boatP' shout
ed Captain Ingram.
With encouraging words the sailors
detailed for the duty passed women and
children along into the boat, but when
the boat was being lowered one young
woman remained on deck. "Get in
Madam" cried the captain. "There's
plenty of room.'' 'I'll stay with my
husband, sir" she replied: "I'm not
afraid" She was Mrs. j. D. McClassen,
of Charleston, S. c., bride of three
weeks, with her husband. She was
lowered into the next boat.
Captain ingram was the last to leave
the burning ship, and he did not go un
til he had satisfied himself by the enum-
Grafton of his passengers that no one
could have been left on board.
Not person was lost; not even one
injured.

New YORK, July 9.-The burning of
the steamship Delaware off Barnegat
Inlet, Friday, furnished a striking con-
trast to the story of horror, death and
cowardice connected with the going
down OF La Burgogne. While the vessel
burned rapidly and fercely in the open
sea, still through the courage and
bravero of the officers and the splendid
discipline and devotion of the crew they
brought off all hands without the loss of
a single life, there being in all seventy
five passengers, nine women and three
children.
It was II :45 when the officers passed
from state room to state room, roueing
the passengers. In each case the officers
after knocking, said, "Get dressed and
come on deck as soon as possible. There
is a fire on board the ship. Do not be
alarmed, there is plenty of time and no
danger. Boats will be waiting for you
