no handshaking, except with the ladies,
and the only speech that would be per-
mitted would be a very brief address
of welcome by Corporal Tanner. The
old soldiers in line would give him the
military salute instead of shaking hands
and altogether the reception would be
made very easy for him. 1t was stated
further that the citizens of Washington
were extremely anxious to meet him.
and out of Difference to their wishes the
committee thought the general Should
waive his objections and permit them
to proceed with their arran gements. He
stoutly insisted, however, that he need
ed rest, and, in addition, he thought it
unwise to appear in SO public a manner
To an appeal from an cid comrade that
he could afford to surrender once in his
life, especially to his friends and adj
InirerS, the general finally consented to
hold the matter in allegiance, until 1880
o'clock tomorrow, when he would give
the committee his answer.
Several members of the committee af-
terward expressed the opinion that the
general should not appear in this public
way, especially at this time His con-
sent, it was said, might be misinter
preted and give rise to criticism. 1t is
altogether probable that the reception
will not be held.
During the committees conference
with Gen. Lee, Senior Palma, the head
of the Cuban junta in New York, and
Senior QueSada, the Washington repre-
sentative were introduced. The gen
eral shook hands with them in formal
way, but said nothing. General Joe
Wheeler, member of congress from Ala
bama, was among the callers at the
ShOreham this morning. AS to his plans
for the day, Gen. Lee said that as soon
as he had breakfasted he would go to
the state, war and navy departments to
call upon officials. Further than that,
he made no plans. He did not expect TO
appear before any of the congressional
committees today Gen. Lee was very
hoarse this morning, owing to the open
air speeches he had been compelled to
make during the last two days. Other
wise he seemed to be in condition.

POOR UNFORTUNATE.
'FDicey" Williams, Coiored, Found in
Commissions in an Alley.

"Dickey'' Williams, a colored woman,
who was shipped to Topeka from Wich-
tia last fall by the Wichita authorities,
was found at IL o'clock this morning
lying in the alley between Fifth and
Sixth streets and Kansas avenue and
Jackson streets. Sergeant Tim Dono-
van found her. She was in violent
CONFUSION, and it was necessary for
him to call help to remove her. She
was taken to police station. Just as she
was being taken into the building she
was seized with another CONFUSION and
it required the efforts of several Off
GERS to hold her. She was taken into
the hospital room at the city Jail and
City Physician Mitchell was called. The
woman had several commissions there,
being slow to recover from them, and
it was thought that she would die be-
fore medical aid could arrive.
Dr. Mitchell administered chloroform
and hypodermic injections and the Wo-
man was soon made comfortable. DIR.
Mitchell said that he was unable to say
what caused the commissions, but he
suspected that she had taken some
drug Detective KeSSon said IN regard
to the case: 1.-The woman has been
sick all winter. She had an operation
performed last fall and has been sick
ever since. The Wichita police sent her
here to get rid of her. There is a wound
on her skull which was made by
heavy blow, and this may have caused
her trouble

form she said: I'm goin' to have NAH

UNANIMOUS REPORT.
Is Now Probable on Cuban Res
OlutiOn Today.

Washington, April 13.-Unanimous
committees. Democrats will abandon
recognition of insurgent Independence
1t is likely now that there will be a
unanimous report from the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations and possibly
from the house committee. The Demo-
cratic members of the foreign relations
committee, after hearing Consul Gen
eral Lee upon the existing Cuban gov
eminent, agreed to abandon the demand
for the recognition of that government.
They have been consulting with the
Democratic members of the house COM
mittee and it is thought probable that
the house Democrats will follow their
lead.
At 11:15 O'Clock. the house committee
on foreign affairs took a recess until 1
o'clock. The Republicans were agreed
and the recess was taken to allow the
Democrats to consult the leaders, with
the hope that unanimous action might
be had.
If the unanimous action of the two
committees can be brought about, it is
possible that the whole matter may be
settled today.
Action in the house will be no doubt
speedy, and it is a matter of arrange
ment in the senate. Efforts will be
made to secure a vote with as little de-
lay as possible

IN THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Presbyterian Minister'S Action Cen
sured for Signing Princeton's
Inn Petition.

Wilmington, Del, April 13-Bishop
Coleman was notified today by letter
from Bishop Potter of New York that
Prof. Charles Shields of the Princeton
Theological seminary has been received
into the Episcopal church and was re-
Gently confirmed by Bishop Potter
Prof. Shields is the man who joined
with Grover Cleveland in signing a, pc
tition for liquor license for Princeton
Inn. He was once a moderator of the
Presbyterian church.
His action in signing the petition for
a license for Princeton Inn caused much
adverse criticism. At a meeting of the
New York synod of the United Presby
terrain church, held in Jersey City, Octo-
Der 81 last, the committee on reform
created a sensation by its reference to
Prof. Shields course. It's report read:
Words fail to express our sorrow and
amazement. We enter emphatic pro-
test against the appearance of this mon
ster Qiquor) under the sanction of it's
professors of America protestant insti-
buttons of education"
Prof. Shields on October rs authoriz-
ed the statement that Gin consequence
of the unjust, unconstitutional and de-
famatory action" of certain presbyteries
and synods, involving his good name, he
had decided for his own personal pro-
lection to separate himself from the
Presbyterian church.

HILL CITY'S FOUNDER.
He is Now Working in Gold Mine
in Colorado.

William r. Hill, founder of Hill City,
who had more trouble with the govern
ment in the past year than any one
will probably go free. He was once
convicted of perjury in land cases, but
Today the case was again called for
trial and Judge Foster Quashed the in
dictment on a technical ground. That
was no sooner out of the way than
United States District Attorney LAM
bert asked that he be tried for perjury
in making an affidavit for a continu-
ance of his case. Captain ]. G. Waters
argued that as the case against him
was not a good one he could not be held
for perjury in making an affidavit in
the case.
Judge Foster said he would take the
case under advisement but he said he
was inclined to believe that Hill can not
be held.
Hill is now working in a gold mine in

.ErHE CONSUL RAN AWAY.
SPANS Representative at Key West
Fled to Tampa.

Washington, April 13.-Word has just
Key West had retired from the consul
late there because of threats said to
have been made against his life. This
is the first removal of a Spanish official
in the United States a result of pres
ent troubles.
The consul at Key West reported the
circumstances in his case to the Spanish
minister at Washington and said the
feeling extended beyond the consul and
who supported the home government.
AS a result the consul and a number of
Spaniards, who have been living there
have removed to Tampa, where it is
said their safety is better assured.
The Spanish minister, Senior Polo Y
Bernabe, feels that his predictions of a
more hopeful turn of affairs have been
verified, and there are no signs of i'm
pending departure of the minister and
his staff.

the effect that he had recently asked an
audience at the state department to
submit certain new propositions, and
that considerable trouble had arisen
over the request, the audience at first
being denied and subsequently certain
notes being withdrawn.
Senior Polo Y Bernabe requested that
the statement be made that he had ask
ed for no such audience, that it had not
been denied and that the withdrawal of
notes, as reported, had not in fact oc-

The minister also denied the publish
