The entire Protestant clergy OF che

One incident in his career shows his
bulldog tenacity. Roberts, with two
other Mormons, went to Tennessee to
do missionary work. His companicns
were killed by angry citizens when the
nature of their mission became known,
and Roberts himself barely escaped
with his life. Determined to secure
the bodies of his comrades, and know
ing upon his return to the scene of the
trouble that recognition would mean
instant death, he disguised himself as
tramp. As such he again invaded
the ememy's country, secured the mis-
sionaries' bodies and carried them

1000 polygamous marriages have taken

TROUBLE AT SANTIAGO
COVERT THREATS OF REBELLION
AND MUCH GROWING UNREST.
Natives Refuse to Work for Rations

BFOOke-Havana News.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 22.-The
order from the United States military au-
thorities in Havana directing the author
tiles of the Santiago military department
not to expend a cent of the customs re-
ceipts without the permission Of the gov
ernor general, and the order directing that
hereafter the bulk of the sanitary work
shall be done without money pay and for
rations merely were given to the local
press for publication yesterday, though re-
ceived here last Thursday FL Cubano, in
commenting on the instructions of the gov
eTnor general, says: THE feeling is preva-
lent that the only course now is 10 retire to
the mountains"
This is, of course, an eXaggeration, al
though the fact is that there are people
who make just such threats. AS showing
how far the province has drifted backward
since the first announcement that the Gus
toms were not to be freely expended for
provincial improvements, the Santiago
Heraldo reports that a band of men are
committing wholesale depredations in the
Mayari district, where several people have
been murdered, and that another band in
the Guantanamo district has burned all the
cane prepared for pressing on the Isabel
plantation. "These outbreaks" says the
Capitalization system"
AS yet the Mayari report has not been veri-
fed and Mr. Brooke. owner Of the Isabel
plantation, who arrived yesterday, says that
the burning reported on the plantation must
have been done since he left, as the cane
there was intact when he started for San
tiago. He does not accept the report abso-
lutely, but says that the adjoining planta-
tion the property of Senior Bueno was
fired at four different points, the entire
crop being destroyed.
So far as the order regarding sanitary
work is concerned, a Cuban inspector in the
sanitary department told Maj. George Bar
bour, the health commissioner of Santiago,
yesterday, that the Cubans of the province
had at last regained their self-respect and
would not work again for rations. 'They
do good work. he said, land deserve to be
paid in money. If they are ordered again
to work for rations most of them will go
to the mountains
The Independence which publishes the
two orders, is comparatively temperate in
it's editorial comments. except that it in
duges in the usual personal abuse of Gov
ernor General Brooke. The editorial con-
cludes with a defiant declaration: IF nee
essary, the Cubans will know how to act"

More Talk on Expansion.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-The fact that
the anti-scalping bill was made the untin-
ished business Of the Senate by Saturdays
vote does not necessarily insure its imme-
date consideration. The general understand
ing is that this bill will wait on the peace
treaty and the appropriation bills. and that
the Indian appropriation bill will be the
first measure to receive the attention of the
Senate during the week. The diplomatic
and pension appropriation bills also may be
considered during the week. Several
speeches on the general subject of expan-
sion are expected. One of these, by Senator
White, in opposition to the governments
policy will be made tomorrow, and Sena-
tor Lodge will follow Tuesday with q brief
talk in support of the policy and in advo-
cacy of the early ratification of the peace
treaty. How much time will be given to
the treaty in executive session will depend
on whether the committee on foreign rela-
tons considers it in the interest Of the
treaty to press consideration There is an
effort to arrange q compromise which would
permit speedy action the treaty, but if
this be not successful the indications are for
considerable delay. Two compromises are
suggested. One of these is for a Inodifica-
ton of the treaty or the adoption of a reso-
luton declaratory against the permanent
holding of the Philippine archipelago, and
the other is for a modification OF the army
reorganization bill lines desired by the
treaty opponents. 1t is not yet possible to
state whether either course will be pursued.
On Friday the Senate will listen to eulogies
of the late Representative Cook, of Illinois.
