THE NEW CUP DEFENDER,
Will Probably he Launched May I
 Interview With Mir. IseIin,

Bristol, R. l., Jan. 31.-C. Oliver Iselin arrived at noon to-day. His time was spent in the Herreshoff yard looking
 over the work that has been accom- plished on the new cup defender and In
 consultation with Nat Herreshoff. The launcing will probably take place early in May In answer to query as to
 whether there would be any difficulty as to getting the yacht ready at that time he said from present appearances.
 The work is going on splendidly now tha the vessels keel has been run out
 MT. 1selin would not give the weight of the keel, but said that it was somewhat different from that of the old defender.
 but would not say whether it was in the weight or in the style. Mir. Iselin further said that it had been decided to spar the new boat with ar Oregon pine mast and steel boom and gaff The sails will also be of a special weave and it is expected that they will stretch much less than those of the old boat
 MT. Islin confirmed the report that Charley Barr would sail the new boat, with Captain Allen of South Kingston, R. I. The crew of fifty men have all ready been selected from among those who have been in contests of former years. A great majority of them will be from Deer Island, Me. Quite a num- Der of those picked out sailed on the Defender in 1895 and it is expected they will report al Bristol some time before the new boat is ready. As yet no one has been selected as skippr of the old Defender, but an able man will certain ly be placed in charge and the trial races between the two boats will be as severe as possible as to the sailing qualities of the new boat With the boat in the water by May 20 and fully rigged by the tenth of June, there will be nearly four months in which to get her in trim. MT. Iselin could not say when he would be in Bristol again He said nothing as to where the trial races would take place. It seems likely that after the preliminary runs in Mar bay, that much of the tuning up will be done off Newport.

MRS. KINNEY RE- ELECTED REG EN1
Met Her "Wnterloo" at the ID. A. R.
 Meeting in Danbury.

| Danbury, Conn. Jan. 31.--As the re- 1 suit of the great amount of pressure | brought to bear on Mrs. Sara T. Kin ney of New Haven, state regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution who had resigned from that office she was prevailed upon to accept a re-elec- the afternoon meeting of regents, dele gates and alternates elected to the eighth Continental congress, D. A. R., held at the Universalist church. Forty one petitions had been received with B. 300 signatures of members of various chapters and friends urging Mrs. Kin ney to accept reelection, and when Mrs. Holcomb of the Ruth Wyllys chapter took the floor and stated that Mrs. Kinney should be reelected there was a clapping of hands and waving of handkerchiefs that aroused much en- thusiasm. Mrs. Kinney then said: T have met my Waterloo. I am yours, , and she accepted the reelection, It was also voted that $500 of the general
 
 utility fund be devoted towards the publishing of the American Women in the Revolution" The meeting ad- journed shortly after o'clock.
 When Mrs. Kinney made her first re- port to the National D. A. R. convention in Washington, D. C., in 1896, she cred ited Connecticut with a membership of 1885 Daughters. Her report which was made at Washington on February 20 will credit this state with 3,125 mem bers, an increase of 2,130 in three years.

SOLDIERS CONDEMNED TO DEATH. Cases Now Pending Before the War
 Department.

Washington, Jan. 31.-There are now cases of American soldiers charged with manslaughter and in two cases the death penalty has been imposed. They have not yet, however, passed under final review so that there is possibili- ty of mitigation of the sentences. There are great number of cases of assertion on record, mainly among the volunteers and it is said that the war department has shown surprising lem iency in dealing with these men, not one being given death sentence.

PAYMENT OF CUBAN ARMY
THE IMPORTANT MISSION OF COM
 MISSIONER PORTER.
He Will Discuss With General Gomez the Amount to be Paid the Cuban Sol- diers-$3, 100000 Having Been Re- fused 1t is Said That $5, 1000 VIII be Offered.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The cabinet at
 to-day's meeting discussed at some length the important mission of Com- missioner Robert Porter to Cuba. The decision to send MT. Porter to confer with General Gomez relative to the payment of Cuban troops was only reached after an extended discussion in the cabinet
 MT. Porter's mission to General Go- meg is of two-fold character, to dis cuss with him fully the position of the Cuban army and to invite him to Ha- vana. The Washington administration desires an immediate and friendly set clement of the Cuban army question. As the military chiefs decidedly refuse to accept $3,0OO 900 in complete eatisfac- tion of the claims of the soldiery, Washington has determined to offer a much larger sum, even as high as $5,- 000000 Whatever is agreed upon is to be a charge upon the revenues of the island until it is paid. The Cubans, civilians and military, are aware that an engagement of this sort may pro- long the American occupation but, as 1t seems to be their earnest wish that the army be paid a great sum, the admin istration at Washington will yield, it is said, and open negotiations with this ultimate object.
 The governments legal right to make this payment was referred to the attor- ney general, who held that this sum might lawfully be advanced to the in- surgent troops on condition that the treasury be subsequently, reimbursed from the revenues of the island, and it is understood that this course will be pursued if it is found that the desired results can be obtained thereby.
 MT. Porter is said to carry letters from President Mckinley and Governor General Brooke. The scope of his in- is not disclosed, except that it Is known that he has rather full pre- liminary powers. Senor De Quesada did not know them until he and MT. Porter were aboard ship. The Cubans here are in a state of expectation and excitement: the business classes are pleased at the prospect of a settlement. Merchants for a fortnight have been afraid to place large orders, being un- certain of the future Shares on the To- cal bourse rose from one to three points to-day, which Is generally attributed to the probability that the Cuban soldiery vii be disbanded and will return to work.

NICARAGUA CANAL QUESTION. Good Progress by Commerce Committee
 of the HOuse.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Such progress on the Nicaragua canal question was made by the house committee on com merce to-day that it is expected final action will be taken at the next meet ing of the committee. The discussion to-day was on Chairman Hepburn's bill and numerous amendments were pro- posed. An amendment was agreed on striking out the word sovereignty in referring to the route which the presi- dent is to acquire from Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The purpose of this amend- ment is to overcome the objection that the constitution of Nicaragua will not permit a relinquishment of sovereignty over any territory. Other propositions were submitted as to the authority to be given the president in acquiring the canal route.

4 RMY BILL PASSED IN THE HOUSE.
Opposition Won Several Important
 Points -CnnteeMs Abolished

Washington, Jan. 31-The bill to re-
 organize and increase the standing
 army to about 100000 men, but leaving the president authority to reduce the
 size of infantry companies and cavalry
 troops to sixty men each, thus fixing a
 minimum of 50,000 enlisted men, passed
 the house to-day by vote of 16S to 125.
 This was the result of week of hard
 and often picturesque fighting on the
 floor, during the progress of which the
 opposition compelled those in charge of
 the measure to give this discretionary
 authority to the president and to make other notifications, among which was a
 reduction of 331 in the number of staff officers. In consequence of these modi- fications, the republican opposition practically vanished and on the final vote but six republicans voted against the bill, Messrs. Barber, Connolly, Loud, Johnson, McEwen and Wadsworth. This republican defection was, however, almost offset by five members of the po- ltical opposition who voted in favor of the bill Messrs. Berry, Mcclellan, Me Aleer, Pettus, Taylor of Alabama and Skinner.
 Among the important amendments adopted before the vote was taken to- day was one to exclude the appointment of civilians to positions in the engineer corps, one to abolish canteens and the sale of liquor in camps and one to strike out the provision for additional pay for commanders serving in the West Indies, the Philippines and Alas ka. The amendment of MT. Cummings of New York to prohibit the use of troops in the several states to suppress riots, etc, except upon the application of the states was defeated by a large majority. The motion to recommit with instructions to report back the minority substitute was lost. The bill as passed provides in addition to the general off, cers and staff departments for twelve regiments of cavalry of twelve troops each, IA coast batteries, "A field pieces, 30 regiments of infantry of twelve com- panies each, a corps of engineers and one regiment of engineers, an ordnance department and d signal corps, the lat ter with 625 enlisted men. It also gives the president discretion to recruit the serving in Cuba, Porto Rico and the islands of the Pacific In whole or in part from the inhabitants thereof. Before the house adjourned to-day the river and harbor bill was formally called up in order to make it the unfinished business in the commit tee of the whole.

AGNoNE RELEASED FROM JAIL.i
Italian Banker Paid His Creditors in
 FuIt Yesterday Afternoon.

The Italian banker, Agnone, whose sudden disappearance few weeks ago caused such tumult among those of his country who had deposited money with him, was released from jail yes- terday afternoon. He returned about ten days ago and announced that he would pay off his creditors. After he had paid few, however, he offered to settle with the rest for twenty cents on the dollar. This was not accepted and he was arrested. Some of his creditors had him locked up and it was expected that he would take the poor debtors oath yesterday. But instead of doing this he arranged to pay his creditors in full and was released.
