THEY WANT USTO TAKE CUBA
An Appeal for Annexation Issued
by a Spanish Committee.
400, 1000 READY TO VOTE FOR IT

HAVANA, Feb. A committee of
Spaniards in Havana has issued a
strong appeal to compatriots through
out the island to unite for the purpose
of bringing about the annexation of
Cuba to the United States.
1t states that 100000 Spaniards are
ready to vote for annexation and that
this number would be largely aug
mented by Cubans of wealth, position
and influence, who do not wish to see
the revolutionary party in the ascend
ancy.
The committee believed that if a
vote were to be taken to-day on the
broad issue the result would be decid-
edly in favor of union with America,
even if the negro element in Eastern
Cuba was allowed to exercise free
franchise.
Steps will be taken by the Spaniards
to put their views before the Ameri-
can administration, as they believe
that if an independent government is
contemplated in the near future the
trade of the island will be brought to
an immediate standstill. In any case
they think the United States should
retain control for considerable per-
iod. American capitalists hero inter
ested in the island concur in this view

BLIZZARD RAGING.
Cold Wave and Snow In Storm Swept
Colorado

Cold Wave and Snow In Storm Swept
Colorado
DENVER, Colo, Feb. 4-While no
snow fell in Denver yesterday, snow
storms and cold waves are reported by
the weather bureau to be bearing
down upon this city from every direc-
ton A blizzard prevailed at Lead
vile, where snow has fallen for ten
days in succession. Leadville is the
western terminus at present of both
the Denver and Rio Grande and the
Colorado Midland railroads, though
neither is sparing expense in its eff
forts to clear the tracks west of that
city.
The loss to the railways in this
state, taking into consideration the
business which is not moving and the
outlay of cash to pay the armies of
snow shovelers, is estimated at S25, 900
a day. Not less than 1000 men have
been shoveling snow for several days.
Over 500 miles of road in the noun
tains have been at times shut off from
communication with the main lines.
Storm bound passengers are fed and
cared for by the railway companies.

WASHINGTON Feb. 1.-The bill to
reorganize and increase the standing
army to about 100, 900 men, but giving
the President authority to reduce the
size of infantry companies and cavalry
troops to sixty men each, thus fixing
minimum of about $4,000 enlisted
men, passed the House by a vote
of 1863 to 1876
A mong the important amendments
adopted before the vote was taken

of civilians to positions in the engin-
Ger corps; one to abolish canteens and
the sale of liquor in camps, and one to
strike out the provision for additional
pay for commands serving in the West
Indies, the Philippines and Alaska.
The amendment of Mr. Cummings of
New York to prohibit the use of
troops in the several states to sup
press riots, etc, except upon the APP
plication of the seates, was defeated
by large majority. The motion to
recommit with instructions to report
back the minority substitute only
commanded two Republican votes,
and was lost, III to ITO
The bill, as passed, provides for
about g. 900 general and staff officers,
for twelve regiments of cavalry of
twelve troops each, la coast batteries,
twenty-four field batteries, thirty reg
iments of infantry of twelve compa-
MES each, a corps of engineers, an

Legality of Extra Session.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb 4.-The House
committee on CT ties of the first class,
Dawes, Republican, chairman, formal
ly recognized the legality of the extra
session of the legislature by reporting
adversely upon the bill to repeal the
metropolitan police law, because
that law was repealed at the extra
session" Dawes has always contend
ed that the governor was the sole
Judge of an emergency for the calling
of an extra session. He rendered an
opinion to that effect under the Nor
rill administration. At that time, Mr..
GODDARD, the present attorney general,
was Mr.. Dawes assistant attorney
general. Mr.. GODDARD not long age
took the opposite view and tied up tho
payment of extra session claims.

MILES TO Be INVESTIGATED.
He Is to Be Called Upon to Sub
stantiate His Beef Charges,
THE PRESIDENT TAKES ACTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The purpose
of the President TO terminate the un-
satisfactory state of affairs that has
existed for some time as the results of
the numerous charges and counter
charges respecting the character of
the army beef, by instituting formal
inquiry into these matters and endeav-
oring to place the responsibility where
it belongs, was made known yester-
day. This inquiry will not be under
taken before the commission to in
vestigate the conduct of the war has
made its report to the President.
The scope of this new inquiry has
not been defined, but it certainly will
embrace the allegations of General
Miles as to the character of the army
supplies and will involve that officer
to the extent that he must make these
charges good, and, to that degree, will
be on trial himself, in preliminary
manner Should the charges be found
we'll established, heavy responsible
ity would be placed upon the packers
and persons concerned in the meat in
spection and perhaps others; should
they fall unsupported, General Miles
may be obliged to answer to court
martial for reflection upon the char
acter of other officers.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo- Feb. 4.-The st. Jo-
seph Live Stock exchange adopted
resolutions in condemnation of Gen
eral Miles statements, similar to
those passed by the National exchange
at Chicago.

Americas Amateur Colonists" Worse

Americas Amateur Colonists" Worse
Than the Old Spanish Rulers.
Hone KoNG, Feb. 4.-The Philippine
junta here has issued the following
statement:
simultaneously with the proclama-
ton of the republic Aguinaldo re-
leased the Spanish war prisoners as an
act of grace.
"Ihe Spanish imposition of the poll
tax is enforced by the Americans with
greater severity. Formerly the poor
paid 81 and the rich S37. Now the
lowest pay SIS and the rich $780, which
is greatly exasperating the people.
The gambling, cock fighting, brib-
ing, squeezing and the American
abuses of the customs are causing de-
moralization. The Spanish corrupt,
despotic system seems to be the moral
of the American executive.
1.-The Manila Filipinos are indig-
nant at the notion of the American
journals that they will tamely sub
init to be experimental with
by amateur colonial administrators
and hope the decision of the United
States Senate on Monday will be of
nature to satisfy their aspirations as
frequently expressed"

Bishop Pottor's Twentieth Century Sa-
loon" Scheme Is to Have a Trial
New YORK, Feb 4-What many of
Bishop Henry G. Potter's friends call
his twentieth century saloon" is now
assured. The last dollar of the fund
of els, 900 needed to start the work of
providing a substitute for the saloon,
which shall have all the attractions of
the saloon, minus Intoxicating drinks,
has been contributed. Carpenters will
begin the work of tearing out the
heart of the six-story building at 131
Bowery tomorrow and it will be fitted
up as Squirrel Inn No. l."
Bishop Potter hopes in ten years
there will be in this city Squirrel
Inn No 100 and that they will solve
the greater social problem of provid-
ing for those who patronze the saloon
something they will like better.
Bishop Potter believes the saloon
exists because it meets want, but he
also believes it meets In q way de-
structive of home and all the name
stands for. His idea of twentieth
century saloon" is that it should be
big CHEEKY place, as accessible as the
saloon, where man may get clean,
we'll cooked meal at cheap rate, and
where he can read his paper, smoke
his pipe and talk with his fellows
with freedom tempered by good be-
havior-a place that will only differ
from the saloon in that it sells no in
toxicating liquor.

GOMEZ ACCEPTS IT.
Will DIsband His Army for the $4,000
600 offered.


REMEDIES, Cuba, Feb. 1, via Havana.
General Maxine Gomez, the COM
mander- in-chief of the Cuban army,
placed himself squarely in position to-
day as an active ally of the United
States government in the work of the
reconstruction of Cuba.
AS result of the conference which
Robert p. Porter, the special commits
sioner of President Mckinley, has had
with General Gomez, the latter cabled
to President Mckinley assuring him
of his cooperation in disbanding the
Cuban army and in distributing among
the Cuban soldiers the So, 900, ooo APP
propriated for the purpose of enabling
them to return to their homes. Gen
eral Gomez also telegraphed to Major
General Brooke, saying he would &C
cept the latter's invitation to go to
Havana.
The success of Mr.. Porters mission
greatly simplifies the returning of the
military Cubans to the pursuits of
peace. In view of General Gomezs
supposed prior attitude of hostility
towards the United States, Mr.. Porter
came here clothed with absolute au-
thority, and the tender of 5000, 900
was practically verbal ultimatum.
Had it not been accepted no terms
would have been offered.
Immediately after the conference
General Gomez wrote the following
letter to President Mckinley, in Span
ish:
Republic of Cuba, Headquarters of
the Army, Remedies, Feb. I, 1900
President Mckinley, Washington: 1t
has been great pleasure to me to
confer with your commissioner, Mr..
Porter, introduced by my friend Que
sada, and l am now aware of and
pleased with your wishes. In short
time 1 shall go to Havana and confer
with General Brooke, so that every
thing will go well. Following your
advice, 1 willingly cooperate in the
work of reconstructing Cuba.
"MAxIMo GOMEZ, General"
General Gomez is now preparing for
The trip to Havana. Tho whole atti-
tude of the old fighter is much more
cordial than was anticipated by Mr..
Porter. He told tho latter he was
proud to meet the special commission
er of the President, and he is evidently
much gratified at the prospect of the
early solution of tho disarmament
problem.

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-For more than
five hours the Senate listened to argu-
ments in opposition to expansion and
in opposition to the ratification of the
treaty of peace. The speakers were
Mr.. Money of Mississippi and Mr.
Daniel of Virginia. The formers adj
dress was comparatively brief, as he
did not enter into the constitutional
phases of the question. He vigorously
antagonized ratification of the treaty,
holding that, by such action, the Fill
pinos would be admitted to the Union
as citizens, and that, if they were
not capable of self government we
did not want them. Mr.. Daniel made
an exhaustive argument, in which he
covered all the points in controversy.
His speech was brilliant oratorical
effort His picture of the situation in
the Philippines and his peroration, in
which he appealed to his colleagues
not to depart from the history and
traditions of the American nation.
were beautiful specimens of eloquent
English. Throughout, his speech was
received with careful attention by
senator's and many auditors in the
galleries, and at it's conclusion he was
applauded warmly.
Most of the time of the House was
consumed in filibustering against re-
lief bills on the private calendar. The
filibuster was finally successful and
the House adjourned without taking
up the bills. The conference report
on the diplomatic priation bill
was adopted.
Feb 2.-In the open session of the
Senate Mr.. Spooner of Wisconsin
spoke for three hours against the Vest
anti-expansion resolution and tor the
ratification of the peace treaty. The
executive session was continuation
of the treaty discussion concerning
the status of the Filipinos with refer
ence to citizenship in case the cession
of the Philippine islands should be ac-
cepted. Senator Hoar made set ar
gument in support of the contention
that they would become citizens and
be entitled to all the rights and priv
ileges as such under the constitution.
This view was antagoniEed by Sena-
tors Teller, Nelson and Platte of Con-
necticut. The House, by vote of leo
to Z, passed the river and harbor bill
1t carries $40, 600, 900.
Feb. LIN the open session of the
Senate Bawlins of Utah argued in IA
vor of the Vest anti-expansion resolu-
ton. In the executive session Teller
and Hoar were the principal speakers,
the former for the ratification of the
peace treaty and the latter against it.
In the House the river and harbor bill
was taken up. 1t carries S12, 500, 900
directly and authorizes contracts for
5000, 900 additional. Fifty of the
eighty pages were completed at adj
journment
Jan. 81. The open session of the
Senate was devoted to the discussion
of expansion. Berry of Arkansas and
Bacon of Georgia opposed such
policy. Plat of Connecticut advocated
it. In the executive session Gray of
Delaware and Money of Mississippi
occupied the entire time, Gray favor
ing ratification of the peace treaty
and Money opposing it. The House,
by vote of 16S to l26 passed the army
