CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
Presented in Senate by Senators Cameron
and Mason.

Presented in Senate by Senators Cameron
and Mason.
Washington, Feb. S.-Three PROPOSE
tions differing materially as to methods
were presented to the senate to-day for
the relief of the Cuban insurgents. Mr..
Allen of Nebraska offered as an
amendment to the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill, resolution
recognizing the belligerency of the in
surgents, and said that he hoped thus
to afford the senate an opportunity to
vote on that proposition. Mr.. Cannon
of Utah offered a resolution urging the
president to notify the kingdom of
Spain that if it did not recognize the
independence of the Cuban republic
before March 4, 1898, the United States
would recognize the belligerency of the
Cubans and within ninety days there
after would assert the independence of
the Cuban republic. Mr.. Mason of IL
linois followed with resolution re-
questing the president to notify Spain
that the Cuban war must cease at
once. Both Mr.. Cannon and Mr. Ma
son gave notice of their intention to
speak upon their resolution tomorrow.

Action of United States in Sending Military
Relief Expedition to Alaska.
London, Feb. S.-The Star to-day un-
der the head of "Read Of Klondike"
quoted an anonymous American corre-
spondent, who recently arrived in Eng
land, as saying, with reference to the
relief expeditions to Klondike. that
those who are familiar with the facts
"know that this excuse Is as flimsy as
Jameson's desire to relieve the women
and children Of johannesburg" Con-
tinuing, the anonymous correspondent
remarks: Every American knows
that this is another Jameson raid, and
that the Americans intend to keep con-
troll of the Klondike. The Klondikers
have already announced that the stars
and stripes will be flying at Dawson
City by July 4. 1t would please large
body of Americans if the Klondike
could be made a pretext for war be-
tween England and the United States,
which would result in the annexation
of Canada There is much more in
the same strain.

FILIBUSTERING.

Minister woodford's Note TO Spanish
Minister on the Subject.
Washington, Feb. 8.-From a reliable
quarter it was learned to-day that the
recent note delivered by Minister
Woodford to the Spanish government,
to which Madrid cables have referred.
relates to the question of filibustering
and gives an array of facts and figures,
drawn from the official records Of the
department of justice and the treasu-
ry department here, showing in detail
the painstaking efforts made by lhe
United States to stop fillbustering. The
statement shows an aggregate expen-
diture of upwards of $2,OoO,60O by this
government in running down fillbuster-
ers, maintaining detectives, equpping
vessels and searching parties. 1t also
shows that the United States has been
more successful than Spain in stopping
filibustering expeditions.

five policemen in charge of Lieutenant
Bowen unceremoniously invaded a
cooking main that was being held in
Walter Rement's barn at the Lake
Grove hotel, South Meriden, shortly af-
ter midnight and captured the entire
party. Fourteen well known Meriden
citizens were taken to the police head
quarters and furnished bonds in S25

pected of being interested in the birds

officers rushed in the men all sneaked
up into the loft and tried to hide them
selves, but they were all captured.
