BADLY RECEIVED.
American Church Representative
Abused Shamefully in Cuba.

New York, February A despatch
to the Mail and Express from Havana
says:
Rev. DR.. Craft arrived here Wednes-
day with a letter of recommendation
from the friends of Archbishop Ireland
and Gen. O'Bierne, to Bishop Santan-
der. His object was to try to make
arrangements to establish American
sisters of charity here, joining the
Spanish nuns. Dr. Craft took great
pains to inform the Spaniard of the
friendship which the American Roman
Catholics felt for their brethren in
Cuba.
To his great. surprise the American
was very badly received. The bishop
is reported to have insulted him by al
leging improper motives for his mis-
sion. He is said to have abused his
visitor in the worst possible manner
and they finally separated by mutual
consent.
The bishop is believed to have been
instigated by the fear that the Ameri-
cans would gain control of the church
in Cuba.
1t is scaid that the American delegate
will appeal to Rome.

MRS. BOTKlN
Sentenced to the Penitentiary for life
for the Murder of Mrs. Dunning.

San Francisco, February AIRS.
Cordelia Botkin was to-day sentenced
to serve the term of her natural life
in the San Quentin penitentiary for
the murder of Mrs. John P. Dunning,
of Dover, Delaware, whom she killed
by means of a box of poisoned candy
sent through the mails as a gift from a
friend, and unsuspectingly eaten by
Mrs. Dunning and some of her friends.
Her sister, Mrs. Joshua P. Deane also
died from the effects of the arsenic
with which the candies were loaded.
Judge Cook, who pronounced the
sentence, refused to grant the appeal
for new trial, made by Mrs. Botkin' S
attorneys, who held that this State
had no jurisdiction in the matter. In
a comprehensive review of the case,
Judge Cook showed that this State
did have jurisdiction in the matter.
Mrs. Botkin, asked if she wished to
say anthing in her own defense, stated
that she was innocent of the horrible
crime.
Her attorneys gave. notice that they
would appeal for a writ of probable
cause.

To Secure tConsent for Votes On Peace
Treaty side Issues Failed.
Washington, February Am effort
was made in the executive session OF
the Senate to-day to secure unanimous
consent to a vote>on the resolutions in
terpretive of the peace treaty, and 1t
was refused by the opponents OF the
treaty. The request was profered by
Senator Sullivan, of Mississippi. de
expressed a desire to have vote on
the resolution offered by himself.
Senator Jones made the objection.
There was also another motion TO
secure general consent to an earlier
meeting Monday, but this also was re-
fused, Senator Jones, of Arkansas, act
ing as spokesman for the opposition.
Senator Lodge was in charSe of the
fortunes of the treaty to-day, in the
absence of Senator Davis. He suggest
ed meeting on Monday at IL o'clock,
but consent was refused, as was also
consent to a recess until II o'clock
Monday, or to an order dispensing with
the routine business on that day The
result was an adjournment until Il
O'Clock Monday without any conditions.
The fact developed during this fenc-
ing for time that several Senators
wished still to be heard in explanation
of their attitudes. Among those who
have announced their intention to ask
to be heard is Senator Allen, of Nebras-
ka, who, it was stated, would denounce
the opposition to the treaty in Demo-
cratic ranks as a conspiracy against Mr..
Bryan.

Hong Kong, February John Bar
rett, the former United States minister
to Siam, who is returning to the
United States, delivered an address
yesterday to an audience composed of
British officials aud business men,
Americans and Filipinos.
Regarding the Philippines, Mr.. Bar
rett urged the necessity of the United
States forming a semi-independent
protectorate until the ability of the
Philippines to stand alone is demon
strated, the United States reserving
a strategic naval base, like Subig Bay,
giving her control of the situation and
strengthening her throughout the Far
East.
Mr. Barrett also declared that the
difficulties ahead of the United States
had been grossly exaggerated for the
purpose of defeating the ratification OF
the treaty of peace with Spain.

That the insurgents will make des-

to stand the onslaught of the heavy
ordnance used by the United States
forces. Additional details are awaited
