Havana, Jan 3.--Gen. Maxine Gomez,
from his camp 200 miles westward, near
lafoiso, has addressed a proclamation TO
the Cuban army advising against desband-
+ ing until the proceedings at Washington
Iegarding the pay of the insurgent troops

WILL NOT PAY THE BONDS.
Newly Elected Judges May Go 10 Jail
for Contempt.

Kansas City Jan. S-Another chapter in
the celebrated St Clair county bond case
was closed to-day when Judge Phillips of
the United States Circuit Court ordered
the release from the county jail of Thomas
Nevitt and Thomas NIcGill, judges of the
St. Clair County Court, who have been
in contempt of the Federal courts since
June last, when they refused to obey the
order of the Federal judge directing them
to levy tax on the properly holders of
St Clair county for the purpose Of sat
isfying the repudiated bonds.
The st. Clair county judges ceased TO
be in contempt of the Federal court sim
ply because their term of Office had ex-
pired. The taxpayers of St Clair elected
their successors at the November election
and the judges then chosen were to all
purposes elected into Jail for they were
solemnly pledged to resist the order of the
Federal court directing the levying of the
tax. The bond question is the one politi-
cal issue in St Clair county.
The amount involved, including the prin-
cipal and interest, for twenty-five years
is now over $1000,0O0. The bonds were
voted and issued in aid of a railroad and
amounted to about 100000. The promoters
of the company secured the bonds, sold
them in the East, and left the st. Clair
with no sign of a railroad.
When the bonds fell due the taxpayers
resisted payment, and though the Fed
eral courts eventually decided in favor of
the bondholders, the St. Clair county peo-
pie have not during all the years of liti-
cation been disappointed in any of the
county judges whom they have elected
to resist the Federal courts.

OUR PRESENCE SATISFACTORY.

Grand Duke Cyril Glad to See United
stntcs in the East.
New York, Jan. 3.-Grand Duke Cyril
vladlmirovitch of Russia, who is on his
way TO this country to attend the we'd
ding of his sister, was welcomed to-day by
the Russian colony in this city with a
church service in the Russian orthodox
church.
Bishop Nicholas, retiring prelate OF the
Russian church in America, who will take
ship with him tomorrow, presided at the
services and made an address. The little
church was decorated especially for the oc-
casion.
The duke received the representatives OF
the press in the state parlor of the WAL
dorf-Astoria, which was decorated with
palms and roses. The duke said
Il believe that you will have much
trouble with the natives in the Philip
pines. IN fact, in my Judgment, you will
have war with them sooner or later. As
far as Russia as concerned, the presence
of the United States IN the East is en-
trely satisfactory. I believe it will be
new factor for peace in the affairs Of the
Orient"
The grand duke win sail on the Fuerst
Bismarck tomorrow.

WILL SUMMIT THE TREATY.
President 10 Send IL 10 the Senate
with n Brief Message.

President To Send II 10 the Senate
with Brief Message.
Washington, Jan. 3-The treaty OF peace
negotiated at Paris will be submitted to
Congress almost Immediately on its recon-
vening-probably tomorrow
Although a tempting opportunity offers
for the presentation of a most forcble ar
gument for the speedy ratification of the
treaty. in the shape of ringing message
to Congress on the subject President Me-
Kinley has decided to leave the presenta-
ton of the merits of The treaty to its
friends in the Senate. Accordingly the
treaty viii go to the latter body with the
briefest possible message of transmission
by The President.
Although ii is admitted unofficially that
the text of the convention has been pub
llshed in the newspapers with absolute ac-
curacy, the executive still insists upon
maintaining official secrecy as TO the
treaty, as a courtesy to the Senate, which
will be allowed the privilege Of making
the document public In its own discretion.
II is not known at this time whether
the protocol viii accompany The
treaty, or whether they win be submitted
later to the committee on foreign rela-
lions. Al any rate. they are now of very
little public interest, and that little is
purely historical for the results Of the
commissions work being accomplished,
there is little general curiosity to learn the
steps by which they We're reached.

ABsENTEEs SIGNED A PLEDGE.
WonamaISer Says They VIII Not Fol-
low Discredited Leader.

low DiScredited Leader.
Harrisburg, Pa, jan. "A meeting Of
the absentees from the caucus win be held
tomorrow morning to perfect a permanent
organization. Either Senator Finn of AL
legheny, or Senator-eleet Martin of Phil
adelphia, win be elected chairman.
The anH-Quay leaders claim that five
of those who participated in the caucus
viii not be bound by its action. They
take the position that il was not a rogu-
fairly constituted gathering, and that their
votes do not bind them to vote far the
caucus nominee.
With the exception of four, all the alb
sentees signed a written pledge binding
them to keep away from the caucus
Three of these We're prevented from taking
part in the meeting by illness or enforced
absence from the city, and the fourth de-
ciined TO sign the paper, although COM
mitted to vote against Quay
The signers agree not to attend a sem
atorial caucus until after the Supreme
Court has disposed of the petition of Sen
ator Quay.
John Wanamaker gave out a statement
at midnight, in which he says in part:
THE vote tonight says plainly that this
legislature will not blindly follow a dis
credited leader. The old members are not
menaced and the new members are not
willing to marry into the Quay political
family at the present time. The opposition
to Quay rule grows. Nineiy-eight men
out of 254 cannot give Mr.. Quay the license
he wants to represent Pennsylvania for
six years more"

PERKINS ON THE PHILIPPINES.
VIII Not Vote for Them Unless Leg
iSIaturc SO Instructs Him.


Sacramento. Cal, Jan 3-When the
Senate was called 10 order to-day, a com
municaton was received from Senator
Perkins in which he asked Instructions
from the Senate on the pending question
of territorial expansion.
He expressed the opinion that this ques-
tion is of more Importance 10 the country
than any problem that has arisen during
the present generation. He stated that in
the absence of Instructions from the leg
islaturo of California, he will vote TO
amend section of the treaty which pro-
Nides for the payment of $40 100000 for
the REIMBURSEMENT of Spain's sovereignty
and interests in the Philippine Islands.
He is Of the opinion that the United
States requires only a military station,
naval ana coalmg station in the islands.
Further it seems to him that TO acquire
territory I'm the islands or on the Asiatic
coast is contrary to the spirit Of the con-
stituuon.
The cost of maintaining a standing army
in the Philippines and The expense of a
civil government for the Islands, is also
given another reason why the United
States should not acquire them. The eX-
ports from the islands to all the world are
pointed out to be but $30.00O0O0 annually.
The fact that the islands are densely
populated, is given as the reason why they
are incapable OF development, as were the
Louisiana. California and Alaska pur-
chases. The unhealthfulness of the region
is another argument against them. The
influence on American industry, notably
that of the raising Of sugar beets, and upon
American labor, by the acquiring of the
islands, is pointed out in the letter as not
for the best interest of the country.
The communication was ordered printed
in the journal.

Treaty VIII he Ratified.

Treaty VIII he RatiRed.
Washington, Jan. 3.-Congress viii re-
convene tomorrow in accordance with the
terms of the holiday adjournment resolu-
ton.
The Senate VIII almost Immediately ad-
iourn for the day as an evidence Of re-
spect for the memory Of Senator Nor
rill 1t is customary not to transact any
business whatever on such occasions, but
there is a possibility that a message may
be received from the President transmit
ting the peace treaty. as It is known to
be the general desire that the treaty shall
be formally laid before the committee on
foreign relations at the earliest possible
moment so that the committee may make
its report as promptly as is consistent with
its duty in the premises.
There is a growing belief that the peace
treaty win not be made the subject Of o.
long debate, and what two weeks ago was
a strong probability of its ratification may
be said now to be a certainty.
