SANGUILLY SAYS
 HE WAS INSULTED En Route to Washington to Pro- test Against Ludlow. HISTORY OF THE CASE Military Governor of Havana Ordered the Cuban Chief Not to Wear His
 Insurgent Uniform on
 the Streets.
HISTORY OF THE CASE

Havana. January 14.-General Julio Sam sailed for Tampa, Fla, whence he proposes to proceed to Washington to protest against the attitude assumed toward him by Gen. Ludlow. military governor of the department of Havana. Yesterday General sanguilly called upon General Brooke, gov ernor general of Cuba and for the first time his version of the Albisu theater affair. He showed General Brooke General Lud- lows letter ordering him (sanguilly) to stay out of the city and not to wear his uniform. E
 Sanguilly, who had not seen General Lud- low. got letter of introduction to Gen. eral Brooke and sent 1t to General Ludlow by Cuban aide, together with an inquiry as to when 1t would be convenient for Gen. eraI Ludlow to see him. To this General Ludlow replied that he could not see Sam gully, and the latter before leaving for Tampa wrote to the governor general full statement of the case. General San gully considers that the Cuban army has been insulted in his person.
 Major-General Ludlow administered the oath of allegiance to Senor Perfecto la Costo. the newly appointed mayor of Ha- vana and Senor Frederico Mora, the new civil governor at noon today at his head quarters Senor La Costo later swore in the assistant mayors and councillors. The new officials called in body to pay their respects to General Ludlow. The patrols report hundreds of cases of Restitution in
 the city, all of which will be relieved by the
 systematic distribution of rations by the authorities.
 The courtmartial of Private Joseph Buck ley, Company D. Second Louisiana Volun- teers, for shooting and killing Private John D. Hughes, of the same company, last Sat-

than this can be truhfuly y said of an Am r. ican president? But the solution of the problems which confront us is not with the president. When this treaty is ratified no policy can be adopted without the sanction of congress. And the whole American peo- pie will determine through their represent atives what relations we shall sustain to t--e Philippines. Shall We hold the sov- ereignty in trust for their people as we will do in Cuba or shall we, with their consent, establish a protectorate over them or gov ern them as we will the island of Porto Rico. All these important questions will properly come up for determination after the ratification of the treaty. l will not entertain the fear that the American people will not stand by the principles of the con- sttution and the declaration of independ- ence; that they will not curb the ambition of territorial aggrandizement and exhibit to the world an example of moderation, jus tice and self-restraint that will be worth to us in moral strength more than all the islands of the seas"

LAUNCHING OF
 CRUISER ALBANY U. s. Warship Christened Yester- day at Newcastle, Eng. BRISISH BUILDERS TOASTED Sir Andrew Noble Said the Americans Might Well be Proud of Achieve
 ments of Their Navy
 During the War.
BRISISH BUILDERS TOASTED

Newcastle, Eng, January 4.-The United States cruiser Albany was successfully launched this afternoon in the presence of the United States naval attache, Lieuten- ant Colwell and many other Americans.
 The Albany was christened by Mrs. Col well. Afterwards Sir Andrew Noble, vice. chairman of w. G. Armstrong & Co.,, lim- tied, proposed success to the vessel. He added that 1t would be a pleasure for the whole country to know that that vessel was built here for the United States, "be- cause everything tending to closen the ties between Great Britain and the United States must be a source of pleasure to every Englshman."
 Continuing, the vice-chairman remarked: "The Americans must be proud of the qualities exhibited by their navy during the war recently closed. These same qualities of pluck and dash the British navy has in- variably displayed. The Americans con- ducted the war without theatrical display, waiting patiently until their plans had prop erly maturcd."
 Chairman Taylor, of the American so- ciety, toasted the Elswick builders. He said:
 Americans need not blush to be of Anglo Saxon blood. When the American and British nations are joined back to back, they can defy the world, and marching shoulder to shoulder a great blessing to civilization will be assured"

NEW MEAT INSPECTION BILL
Is More Favorable to the United States
 Than Was Expected.
PROTECTIVE TARIFF MOVEMENT
Sensational High Treason Trial Has Been Set for Next Month Before Supreme Court of Leipsic.
 Gigantic Petition.

Berlin, January 14.-The United States ambassador. Andrew D. White. said to a correspondent of the Associated Press for publications:
 ''Our relations with Germany are thor oughIy good and steadily improving. l look to the proposed meat inspection as a step calculated rather to help than hurt us What thinking men on each side wish to secure is a single inspection which will be valid through the empire and supersede tho varius local inspections, which are of ten prompted from isolated trichinosis cases, but they are unjustly attributed to foreign meats. We have been laboring to obtain the inspection for long time and now have strong hopes of successful ls- sue There are unreasonable men on both sides of the Atlantic, but we believe the reasonable men here and in America are greatly in the majority and they are more and more understanding the importance Of good relations between the two countries.
 Pacific Acquisitions
 "Regarding the question of the acquisi- lions in the Pacific and elsewhere, the feel ing of the two governments is excellent.
 
 sire that this state of things should con- tinue and the German officials in every way work in harmony with us In the Pa cific, as elsewhere, there is not the slight est cause sat present for any ill feeling arising ofit of the ambitions of either pow CT, and all other questions are being stead fly placed on a better footing"
 The Bundesrath considered the meat in spection bill this week and the favorite view taken of the measure by the American side is obrroborated by the fact that the AgrariaIl press this week very severely criticises-the bill.
 The semi-offlcial Berlin Post, summarize ing Germany's export trade for 1898, re- in the one item of sugar, Germanys exports were not nearly so poor as it was at first feared they would be.
 ss A Protective Tariff
 A strong movement in favor of a protect- i've tariff has been set on foot by the horti- culturalists of Germany. A meeting of over l 900 of them has addressed strongly worded petition to the imperial government, reciting their reasons for demanding protec- tion. The minister of the interior. Count Posodowsky -Wehner has summoned the president of the organization to furnish the government with additional information on the subject, and there is reason to believe the government intends to frame tariff measure which will meet the horticultur- alists' views.
 A sensational high treason trial has been fixed for next month before the supreme court of Leipsic. The prisoner, Pole, named Goldhumer claiming to be dealer in precious stones, was arrested at Metz on his arrival there from Paris. It is said that the evidence collected directly duplicates a number of high government and military officers in France.

MEETING OF BRITONS.
Met to Protest, But Ended in Free
 Fight.

Johannesburg, January 4.-A public meet ing of British residents was held this af- ternoon with the object of protesting the grievances of the Uitlanders. An enormous crowd of Burghers and Afrikanders was present and the attempt to read the re- gently formulated petition to the queen was the signal for a great uproar on their part. A free fight ensued, in which chairs, benches and tables were broken up and the pieces used as weapons. The fight be- came general and at last accounts was still in progrss.

formation. If the food value of corn is
proven by actual test, merchants from
all parts of Europe, from China and
Japan, from every country in which
population is pressed for food, will see
the commercial opportunity which the
introduction of such a food into their
own countries offers them, and will be-
come active agents in exploiting the
work. 1t is an opportunity to enlist at
one stroke the commercial element of
every civilized country.
"A mere collective display of corn and
its products, while interesting to the
scientific or economic student, has little
to attract the commercial spirit. To
take full advantage of the opportunity
we must realize that the only reason
for taking part in the exposition is the
desire to secure trade. To do that we
must demonstrate that we have some
thing Which foreign merchants can pro-
fitab1y handle. The only way is to make
a continuous practical test under the
critical observation of those interested.
This means the operation at Paris of a
practical cooking kitchen, where Will be
prepared and given away corn bread,
mixed bread and biscuits, mush, cakes,
hominy and the numerous dishes in
which corn is a constituent element. 1t
must be so managed as to prepare food
fitted to the present food requirements
of people of the different countries. 1t
must be upon a scale commensurate
with the Importance of the industry it
represents. 1t must turn out crisp,
white bread and rolls for the Partisan;
bread in which corn shall blend with
rye for the German and Scandinavian;
delicate pastries and buildings for the
delectation of the appetite of the classes
and substantial food for the masses.
Those in charge must be acquainted
with the dietary standards of the diff
ferent people of the world, in order that
they may blend and harmonic corn
with the foods already used, as well as
offer those entirely new. The whole
subject will require both practical and
scientific treatment
The question in which the Kansas
legislature is interested is, how will
this benefit Kansas? Those who are
pushing the plan answer that an in
creased demand for corn will increase
it's price. Last year Kansas produced
100000, 900 bushels of corn. If the price
can be raised even one cent per bushel
it means that 81, SOC, 900 will be added to
the wealth of Kansas every year over
and above what we now receive. If this
can be secured by an appropriation of
$4,000, which is the amount called for
by the corn exhibit, the friends of the
bill say it is well worth trying for.

WON BY A DEAD MAN.
Bike Rider Falls From His
Wheel as He Passes Under
the Tape.

Vancouver, B. c.. Feb. 24.-Australian
advices by the steamship Miowera tell
of a remarkable bicycle race in Sydney
which was won by a dead man. 1t oc-
CURED at a big electric light carnival.
In one mile race there were so entries,
some of the fastest men in Australia
taking part in it. While 10000 people
watched this particular race which was
for a magnificent cub, Young James
Somerville passed under the tape a WIN
ner and a dead man. At the start he
quickly forged ahead, closely followed
by another crack rider named Percy
Cliff. They left 4S riders away in the
rear and shot around the track almost
wheel to wheel. When within 25 yards
of the tape Somerville who still led by
half a wheel was seen to relax his hold
on the handle bars His pedals whirled
around, however, and he pluckily held
his position on the wheel. Five yards
from the tape Cliff put on tremendous
squirt and struck Somerville's hind
wheel, shooting the machine with its
then almost inanimate burden, like
rocket under the tape. The crowd yell
ed wildly, but silence ensued when SOM
erVille after crossing the tape, plunged
head foremost from the machine on the
hard track.
When picked up he was dead. Physi-
clans who examined his body said he
must have had an attack of heart fail
ure on the last lap.
