GENERAL CAREY WILL
PAY THE CUBAN TROOPS

NEW YORK, March 5.-A Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Pay
master General Carey has perfected ar
rangements for going to Cuba next
week to pay off the Cuban army.
This means that an agreement has been
reached by General Gomez and Major
General Brooke regarding the payment
of the Cubans on the basis of the Pres
ident's suggestion to General Gomez
through Mr.. Porter.
General Carey will take the entire
appropriation of $3O00,0O0 to Cuba, ST.
100000 of which will be in silver and the
remainder either in gold or in bills. He
will leave New York on one of the gov
ernment transports, to which the money
will be transported from the sub treas
ury, and upon his arrival at Havana
he will report to General Brooke.
Immediately upon the payment of the
officers and men the troops will be dis
banded and the Cubans will return to
their ordinary avocations. AS soon as
the army is disbanded the question of
the withdrawal of the American troops
will be considered.

AS A NEW POWER

LONDON, March SIN the introduc-
ton of his new history of British India,
to be published tomorrow, Sir William
Wilson Hunter, former member of the
Indian Legislative Council and former
president of the Indian Education Com
mission, referring to the advent of the
United States as a coIonizing power,
says:
America starts upon her career of
Asiatic rule with an amplitude of re-
sources and a sense of moral RESPONSE
bility which no previous state Of Chris
tendon brought to the work. In her
splendid and difficult task she will be
trammeled by no Portuguese inquisi-
ton Of the sixteenth century, nor by the
slave colonization of Holland in the
seventeenth, nor by the cynical rule for
gain of the rulers which. for a time,
darkened the British acquisition of In
dia in the eighteenth.

ment of their dependencies, will repre-
sent the political conscience of the
nineteenth century. I hail their advent

BERLIN, March Sit is taken here
that the Kaiser's appointment of Prince
Henry to command the cruiser squad

drawal of Admiral Won D,edrich from
the Philippines is his Majesty's per

United States and Germany. His
Majesty is we'll aware of Admiral Won
Diedrich's oVerzealousness.
Following the same policy of concili-
alton. the question of grievances of
American insurance companies will be

difference will be adjusted to place the
American oil on an equal footing with
Russian.
BERLIN, March 5.-A dispatch from
Manila announces that the American
authorities there have undertaken the
protection of German interests, and

the Senatorial Ballot.
GROVE |. JOHNSON'S BLUFF FALLS FLAT
Even Burns Men Attach No Importance to the Wild Talk
Of the Election Of the Mexican Next Wednesday,
There Will Be No Extra Session.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, March 5.-There is talk to-
night that Jesse D. Grant will get a
block of Democratic votes tomorrow.
The scheme to vote for Jesse was
Matched early in the session and for
several days it was whispered as a
profound secret that nearly all of the
Democrats would line up for him, and
in the end make a strong pull to get
supporters of his brother, q. S. Grant,
to join them. The plan was not deemed
practical, as many members doubted
whether Jesse D. Grant was a resident
of California. However, the Grant fam
lily will poll a bigger vote than usual
tomorrow if the plans agreed upon to-
night are not changed before the con-
Vention- assemblies.
The supporters of Z. S. Grant are as
firm tonight as they have been at any
time since the balloting began. Indeed,
the claim is advanced that Grant is in
position to call into his camp three or
four new voters, but is not inclined to
bring them in at this time, as a small
gain would not give him a decided ad-
vantage and he does not care to take
any step at this time unless he takes a
decisive one.
The political Filipinos of the Burns
corral are casting wistful glances at
the Grant column. The only explana-
ton that can be given of Johnson
remark that Burns would be chosen
Senator next Wednesday is based on
the hopes of those in the corral that
some of the Grant men will come out
and "vindicate" the Colonel Judge

enjoy the confidence of Colonel Burns

sons prediction and does not seem TO

ment. Doubtless it was made as Dlu1r
to brace up the respondent touts.
Burns continues TO hold daily confer
ences over the wire with his nastel'
Herrin, of the railroad company. The
long distance conversations take place
at Colonel Wright's ofdce in the rail-
read depot in this city. Herrin, in the
yellow building at San Francisco, is
daily advised as to the course OF events
in the Legislature.

SAUSALITO, March 5.-Two fractions
mules came near being responsible for
some of Uncle Sans men losing their
lives on the road between here and Fort
Baker this afternoon. The post wagon
was overturned and rolled down ten

vate James Foley and Mrs. Williams. the
wife of Ordnance Sergeant Williams, and
brlising several others badly.
Eight soldiers, including Mrs. Williams

The wagon and team rolled over twice be-

all previous performances IN the point
icaI arena. 1t has come TO this pass,
that a man aspiring to the high office Of
United States Senator, to represent the
people of California and asking the
support of the Republican members of
the Legis< ture, daily seeks his instruc-
tiOns, nES from the people or the repre-
sentatives Of the people, but from the
chief counsel of the Southern Pacific
Railroad.
The best judges of the Senatorial sit
uation tonight predict that the Legis-
lature will adjourn a week from next
Saturday. There is a belief that the
Burns touts will from this time on
fight to prevent the. choice of a Sen
ator. So far as Burns is concerned,
the handwriting is on the wall He
cannot get a caucus, and without eau
Gus there is not the slightest chance Of
his election. 1t is extremely doubtful
if he could succeed with a caucus, but
as the majority of the Republicans in
the Legislature decided in the confer
ence that the party did not want a
caucus that settled the question.
There is some gossip concerning ad-
journment next Saturday, but the
Speaker of the Assembly and leading
Senators figure that the session must
be prolonged another week. That view
is also expressed by Judge Dibble, who
is we'll advised as to the business on
hand and the length of time required
to close up everything essential. 1t is
a settled fact that Governor Gage will
not call an extra session of the .Legis-
1ature, no matter what happens.
After the arrival of the trains from
San Francisco tonight there was con-
siderable talk about adjournment al
an earlier date than March 1S. A de-
termined effort may be made tomorrow
to fix an early time. Among the touts
the threat is constantly made: Burns
or no Senator" The supporters of
Barnes, Grant and Scott are fully de-
tern1ined that Burns shall not be
elected, and before the session ends
they may resolve to elect Senator
despite the command of Burns to the
contrary.
When the railroad paper here paraded
the Burns address as an ultimatum the
members of the Legislature who do not
take orders from Herrin accepted the
reference as a threat of the corpora
ton that no Senator should be chosen.
The old fight between the people and
the railroad corporation seems to be on
again.
