League Meeting Called.
Judge Rucker as president of the
Monetary league has called meeting
of the league to be held in this city next
Tuesday evening, when the methods
of procedure will be discussed and also
the best means of raising money for the
work. The indications are that if a
new case is instituted it will not be
commenced in the name of the state of
Colorado.
The ground taken is that congress
has no right under the constitution to
demonetize either gold or silver, and
therefore the act of 1878 is void Judge
Rucker says he is receiving scores of
letters from all parts of the country
indOrsing the movement.

REsTFUL FEELING IN CUBA
EVENTS OF LAST FEW DAYS
CAUSE SATISFACTION.
Every Possible Influence Is Being
Brought to Bear to Stop Customs
Prosecutions.

Havana, Dec. 24.-The events of the
last few days have had a great effect
on Cuban politics. The circumstances
attending the arrival of General Wood
and the departure of General Brooke,
taken with the speech of the former at
the farewell banquet to the latter, in
which the intentions of the United
States government were restated, have
satisfied the Cubans that Cuba will
certainly be Independent within a rea-
sonable time.
More than this, the arrival and public
and private utterances of Horatio Ru-
bens have increased the restful feeling
that now apparently exists among all
classes. Mr.. Rubens has, without doubt
considerable influence Wherever he
goes he is cheered by the people; his
room at the hotel is thronsed with Gu
ban officials seeking an interview, and
altogether he is regarded somewhat in
the light of an oracle
Every influence is being brought to
bear to stop the proceedings against the
custom house appraisers now under ar
rest on charges of fraud. The Judges,

other important officials. are related to

TWELVE KILLED IN AMALF VIOLENT DEATHS IN BUTTE.
LANDSLIDE WROUGHT
RIBLE DISASTER.
Among Those Who Died Was the
Daughter of a Member of Eng
lands House of Commons.

Rome, Dec. 24.-Dispatches from
Amalfi. the popular tourist resort on
the Gulf of Salerno, where the land
slide occurred on Friday, say that
twelve persons are known to have been
killed. that at least fifteen others were
injured and that many are unaccounted
for.
Among those killed were Miss Weir.
daughter of James Galloway Weir,
member of the British house of COM
mons for Ross and Cromarty, and her
governness. They had escaped, but
returning for their valuables, were
killed together.
1t now occurs that some earth
tremors and other premonitions enabled
many people to get away before the
catastrophe occurred. The mayor of
Amalfi, declares mis- belief that the
landslide was due to the fact that a
huge fissure, left after a similar slip
ten years ago, had been carelessly filed
with faggots and pieces of timber. This
had always been considered source of
danger.

pletely buried and other buildings ara

landslides, refuse to return to their
