NOT GOING TO MEXICO.
Yaqui War Causes an Abandonment
of the Plan.

Tom Ketchum has about aban-
doned the idea of going to Old
Mexico. He made every prepare
ration to start last July, rented out
his farm in Delaware district and
sold off his property such as he
did not want to take along. But
the Yaqui uprising in the section
to which he intended to 60 kept
him from starting, and as the In
dian war does not show any signs
of abatement, in all probability
the trip will be given up entirely.

General Impression That q Serious

the collision between the Bulgarian and
Turkish frontier guards at Kozyl-Agob,

respondent in Macedonia writes to the Pail
Mall Gazette concerning the seething con-
dition in the Balkans. He says:
Grave consequences cannot be deferred

open revolution. The people are drilling
for the coming struggle, and the country
is virtually in state Of siege Turkish
troops have been pouring into most of the
disturbed districts, concentrating chiefly
in the north, and reinforcements are ar
riving daily. Detachments guard the Ori-
entail railway from Saionica TO the Servian
border. and the garrison towns are packed
with soldiers.
There is a widespread impression through
out the land that momentouS events are
impending There is a general feeling of
unrest everywhere, trade is at an absolute
standstill, and the Ottomans are preparing
in grim, deadly earnest because they are
convinced that Bulgaria is at the bottom of
the troubles in Macedonia and will certain
ly actively support the expected rising, en-
couraged by Russian influence. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 men are under arms
ready for action in the immediate repres-

The Cuban Assembly Must Promptly
Give Up the Muster Rolls.


Give Up the Muster Rolls.
The Cuban assembly must very speedily
decide upon the proposition of the United
States government to pay the $3000.000 to
the Cuban troops. 1t was said today that
the entire matter is in the hands of Secre-
tary Alger. He has already conferred with
General Brooke, and before leaving Havana
fully acquainted the military governor with
his views, so that the latter is competent
to act at moments notice. Ii the mus
ter rolls of the Cuban army are not
promptly surrendered by the assembly Gen
eral Brooke will order the 5000, 900 re-
turned to the United States, thus dissipat-
ing the last chance of the Cuban soldiers
to receive their hundred dollars per head
Probably the government will also feel
that 1t is warranted in withdrawing the
support in the matter of rations it has all
along been extending these soldiers, in view
of what amounts to practical declination
on the part of their officers as represented
by the Cuban assembly to accept the terms
held out by the government. The officials
here are rather disSusted at the childlike
credulity which they say is exhibited by
the Cuban assembly in the projects of some
scheming financiers. They are confident
that the latter have been making all sorts
of Misrepresentation to the Cubans, but
they are still puzzled to know why the lat
ter are willing to accept the promises of
this gentry as against the formal pledges
of the United States.

M R. QUAYS CONTES T
Conference in This City With Pennsylvania
Politicians of Prominence.
Another Meeting to Be Held in Phila-
deIphia-NO Decision to
Withdraw.

The presence of ex-senator Quay in this
city yesterday. and his conference with sew
eral Pennsylvania republicans of prom
inence, caused a renewal of gossip in con-
nectio.l with the pending senatorial con-
test before the Pennsylvania Legislature.
The impression existing al Harrisburg, and
which has been communicated to this city,
is that crisis may occur in the struggle
this week
Mr. Quay came up from his Florida res
idence, st. Lucie. where he has been rest
ing since the adjournment of Congress in
efforts to recuperate his health. In the
afternoon he received several Pennsylvania
politicians at his residence on K street and
the conference continued during the even
ing. The gossip which had preceded his
coming to this city was to the effect that
he might decide to yield to the representa-
tions of those republicans who have urged
him TO withdraw from what they claim is
a hopeless contest. 1t is understood that
this advice, coming from few, was offset
by urgent appeals from his most loyal sup
porters at Harrisburg not 20 drop the fight,
but TO continue in the race.
Further Conference in Philadelphia.
1t is not understood that Mr.. Quay has
yet decided to abandon the struggle. On
the contrary, some of those who talked
with him yesterday claimed that he will
not yield. The general belief is, however,
that he is to have a further conference
with republican leaders of the state at
Philadelphia this week, which may deter
mine his final policy.
1t is a part of the gossip in connection
with this case that Mr.. Chris. Magee of
Pittsburg, who controls a following in the
legislature of some strength, may with
draw his support of Mr.. Quay's candidacy
after next Wednesday and throw it to some
other republican. Inasmuch as this threat
has been made and the date for its fulfill
ment fixed several times, without anything
coming from it. the politicians are not in
clined to accept the renewed report unre-
servedly.
Something Expected This Week.
At the same time there is well-defined
impression among those interested in the
outcome that the week may bring forth
the announcement of some understanding
among the republican factions which will
definitely affect the contest.
Representative DalzelI, whose name has
been voted for, leaves Washington tonight
for Harrisburg and will take part in the
subsequent proceedings.
EXRepresentative Huff, who is also in
Washington, will go to Harrisburg today or
tomorrow. He says his name will be pre-
sented to ths legislature by the anti-Quay
men and that he expects to receive good
support.

Cuban, speaking no English and not so
well versed in American ideas as his col
league, was very much disappointed at the
outcome. Both gentlemen expressed the
opinion that much trouble would ensue If
the 100000 in General Brooke's hands to
be given the Cuban soldiers was not In
creased to al least s10.o00,0 600. They spoke
of probable brigandage and did not seem
to relish the cool assurance given them by
scme American friends that the United
States had very energetic way of taking
care of not only its law-hreakers. but those
who melted others to law-breaking as well.

RECEIPTS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Since the Americans Took Charge
They Have Been $2.9SS,4SO.


Acting Secretary Meiklejohn today made
a statement about the receipts in the Phil
ippine Islands since the Americans have
been in charge. These figures have been
ca bled by Gen. Otis, but since active hos
tilities have been going on no detailed re-
ports have been received. 1t is believed
that the delayed reports will make still
better showing.
The Americans took possession August II,
1895. The receipts to the 1st of January
were S1,S19,S ,S13. The receipts for January,
February and March, so far as reported,
were 81, ,l6S, ,6G6, of which amount $4,000 is
flcm Iloilo and $4,000 from Cebu.. 1t is
believed that the total showing of s2,9SS, ,iS0
would have been much larger had all the
ports of the islands been in possession of
the United States. Owing to the state of
war in the islands trade necessarily has
been restricted. The receipts shown are,
therefore, not fair criterion of what they
would be were the islanders pacified and
the country in normal condition.

The Dispatch From Gen. Otis Consfd.
cred Very EncOuraging


War Department officials were gratiffed
with the cheering dispatch from General
Otis this morning. While brief. IT contained
a great deal Of encouragement General Otis
Is not man to take a roseate view of A
situation unless there is reason for II. II
Is said at the department that the Filipinos
nave never been used to the kind of war
Iare that the Americans have given them
and for that reason they now realize that
II will be impossible for them to accom-
plish anything by further fighting.
While there is yet disappointment because
the movement for the capture of AguinaIdo
ana large force Of the Filipinos was not
successful, it is believed that by pressing
the insurgents steadily toward the north.
capturing their capital and driving them
from place to place has had a very discour-
aging effect upon the natives who have been
deluded by Aguinaldo.
1t Is evident by the reference which Cen
eral Otis makes to reconnoitering parties
that ne Is having the country thoroughly
covered with scouting parties and that the
information which they are giving him is
the basis OF the dispatch received today.
1t is believed that desertions will soon de-
piete the army of Aguinaido to little or
nothing II would not take long for an
army of the kind he has gathered to melt
away and disappear in the mountains and
junares of Luzon.
That portion of the dispatch relating to
