CUBANS KICKING.
Because the United States Won't hd-

InsurScnt Troops.

Because the United States Won't Ad-
vance More Money for Payment OF
lnsurScnt Troops.
HAVANA, Jan. "a rumor has
been in circulation during the last few
days that the United States will lend
80, 100000 to be applied In part payment
OF arrears of pay claimed by the Gu
ban soldiery. 1t has provoked some
strong criticism, the argument being
that II the customs were In the hands
OF the Cubans the first thing done
would be 10 pay the Cuban soldiers in
full and that. therefore. the United
States. holding ample custom receipts
as security. coIid and should advance
more than s3.OO0,0O0.
The executive committee OF the Gu
ban assembly makes public n document
the Importance of which lies in the
fact that the committee should have
deemed its publication necessary. The
following extracts will give an idea Of
Its character:
The committee learns that some ex-
citemcnt prevails because of the small
ness of the sum which It Is reported the
United States will loan TO pay the Gu
ban troops. Although the reports OF
excitement are exaggerated, the COM
mittce thinks 1t necessary TO recon-
mend to the civilian and military ele-
mants concord, unity and the best dis
cipllne.
''As yet it has not been officially an
nounced how much the United States
will lend or what the manner OF pay
ment will be. The Cuban assembly's
committee to lay the case before the
Washington government viii! soon re-
turn and Judgment should be suspend :.
ed until the facts are known.
"The people should have confidence in
the assembly and obey its rulings and
the recommendation we believe neces-
sary. We recommend quletude and
discretion. We do not see cause for
great anxiety. Should there be such.
the executive committee will fulfill It's
duty and the first meeting OF the as
sembly will inform the people OF all
that Is transpiring. so as 10 enable them
to judge fairly"
The Havana papers Sivep rominence
to this address, saying that the voice OF
tho Cuban assembly through the exec
utlve committee should be listened to
and needed.

\ DRAMATIC TURN
In n London Bank Robbcry-Moncy
Returned by Mail.

LONDON. Jan. &c. - The robbery of
over .c6O,G COO from PARIS Bank, In this
city. on Monday last, when has been
the sensation Of the week. took a dra-
matte tu:n to-day when the chairman
OF the bank announced at meeting OF
the shareholders tha; 10000 In the big
gest notes had been returned to the
bank by post,
The robbery apparently was a most
daring crime. The thief Is supposed 10
have walked boldly behind the counter
where there were over 100 clerks at
work, opened a drawer. from which he
took n parcel of notes, and walked out
Of the banl; undetccted. American
thieves are suspected OF having been
concerned in the theft, as It Is said scv-
eral Americans were recently noticed
lettering about the premises. The police
are again utterly helpless.
Thlrtysix !.Oo0-pound notes and
twtntT-two 500-pound notes figured In
the robbery. Most OF these have been
returned and the remainder OF the notes
are practically unnegotiable.

cA'ittorncy General Garland Suu.
denly Stricken with Apoplcxy while
Addressing the United States Su.
prcmc Court
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Former At
torneY General, Augustus II. Garland
was stricken with apoplexy while ad-
dressing the United States supreme
court at 12:l5 this afternoon, and died
within ten minutes. The occurrence came
with startling and tragic unexpected
ness. changing the usual calm and dig
nifty of the court into temporary contu-
sion, while the dying man was being
carried from the chamber In a futile ef-
fort 20 alleviate his condition.
When the court convened at noon Mr..
Garland resumed an argument in the
case OF Towson vs. Moore. which had
been begun yesterday. There was
tlli bench, with the exception OF Jus
tees B.ewe: and White. Mr. Garland
spoke calmly and with no evidence OF
agitation or effort. He had read from,
n law volume and had followed with
the sentence. This, your Eonors, Is our
Contention"
As the last word was uttered Mr. Car
land was seen to raise his hand and
then gasp. He tottered and fell side
wise, striking against chair and over
turning 1t as ne fell heavily on the
floor A succession Of loud deep gasps
come from him as he lay on the licor.
HIS associate In the case. Mr.. Franklin
Mackaye. was al oEce by his side and
With other counsel and officials the head
OF the dying man vas raised, his shoes
removed and draught OF water given
him y dsathlg pa!!or had ovtrspread
his face. anu this soon gave place 10
deep purple, which foretold the gravity
OF the attack. He was carried from the
chanoer across to the room OF Chief
Cle". Mckinney. AID there placed on a
sofa. Senator ialiiaSer. who Is a physi-
clan, was near n: hand. A single glance
told him that the attack would be
fatal. Within ten minutes from the time
OF the stroke Mr Garland breathed his
last.
The court In the meantime had post
pored the case In which Mr.. Garland
was engaged, and until! the seriousness
OF the attack was known had proceeded
With other business. Word of the trag-
edy was soon rosed through the capi-
tol and senator's and representatives
hurried to the court room. The two
Arkansas senators. Mr.. Berry and Mr..
Jones. were among the first TO View the
body. and following them was q long
line OF persons high in legislative and
Legal circles. who had besn associated
with Mr., Garland In various ways in
his long and notable public service.

With the end OF the senatorial cam
paign and all party difficulties In rela-
tlon to the contested election cases sus-
pended until they can be settled In reg
ular form under the agreemertreached
between the two houses, there has been
an apparent endeavor to-day to get
down to the real business OF a legisla-
tive body. and both houses confined
themselves to the work OF legislating.
During the long delay large number
OF important; measures were introduced
and the various committees of both
houses are at work OF them. Quite n
number o. them have been reported
back TO the houses. The bills of the
greatest local interest to Wheeling have
fair showing. The Judiciary commit
sec large part OF the day has had un-
der consideration bill No. 3. known as
the surety bill. and much interest Is
shown in II. II seems that there are
two or three features OF 1t which are
defective In some respects, In way
that the real purpose of the measure
may be !nterfered with. and when 1t
IS reported from the committee II will
doubtless be amended. 1t Is expected
