ments, a total of :, 1900 mon, has occu.
pied Neuva Caceres, province of South

On Feb. 20 the expedition arrived at

upon Nueva Caceres and attempting to
control the enemy's routes of retreat at
Lithuanian, north of Nueva Caceres.

quarters with bayonets. After 40 min
utes fighting the enemy fled and Lib.

MAY NOT BE RATIFIED.
Hay -Pauncefote Canal Treaty Said to b
Pigeonholed.

Hay-Pauncefote Canal Treaty Said to Be
Pigeonholed.
M1NNEAPoIs, March S.-A journal
Washington special says: It is said Oh
good authority that the Hay -Pauncefote
canal treaty is not likely to be ratified
by the senate. 1t has been put into a
pigeonhole i'll the desk of Senator Cush-
man K. Davis, chairman of the foreign
affairs committee, and there will re-
main indefinitely.
The claim is now made that the sena-
tor is not friendly to the treaty. Al.
though not given to talking freely,
Davis has said enough to the fellow
members of the committee to let them
know Enthusiastically how he feels. 1t
seems that he was not consulted or
taken into the confidence of the state
department while the negotiations were
in progress. Secretary Hay felt himself
quite competent to negotiate the treaty
and the first Senator Davis knew of it
was when it was sent to the senate for
the approval of that body. This was an
undoubted discourtesy to the chairman
of the senate committee on foreign af-
fairs.

BY Lena Brand, age fourteen.
Around thy bedside We sit and weep,
Vainly We try to rouse thee from thy dreamless
sleep,
Vainly we call thy name,
But no soft whispered answer comes.
In speechless grief we turn away
And kncel us down by thy side to pray.
but hush! a shade has crept DER that face;
We know at once that divincst grace
Has gently taken thy spirit away
And left US naught but the lifeless clay.
Dear friends, look not on that lonely grave
But remember tho promise that jesus gave.
Father has gone to II better world than this
Where all is peaceful and all is bliss,
Where Christ himself is the greater light
Where all arc happy, lovely and bright.
At the golden gate his mother stands
10 welcome him home with outstretched hands.
We mourn and weep and cannot now sec
How father forever happy will be.
God in his wisdom has him recalled
Tho boon his love had given
And though his body is with us yet,
His purified soul is safe in heaven.

Press Unanimous in Denying Stories of a
Possible Uprising.
HAVANA, March 8.-The frequent ru-
mors carried from the United States re-
garding possible uprisings in Cuba in
the early future are causing the press of
the island to wonder who is responsible
for these stories. The newspapers with
out exception declare that the people of
Cuba never felt less like rising than
they do at present. Even the agitators
against q continuance Of American oc-
cupation have been counseling modera-
tion Of late and the tenor of their re-
marks are greatly moderated. Indeed,
the wish everywhere is expressed that
the approaching elections may pass off
without a disturbance of any kind, as it
is felt that just now the eyes of the
world are turned towards Cuba in her
effort to attain self-government and any
Disturbances, even among the minor
elements, would be injurious to the
cause of Cuba

Bocr Force in Front of Roberts Increasing
Continuously.
LONDON, March S. Lord Roberts
still pauses in the neighborhood Of Os-
fontein, while stores, remounts and
fresh troops stream toward him from
the Cape. The British position also
continues to improve in the minor
spheres of the campaign. Natal is clear
Of Beers and Cape Colony is nearly SO.
The Beers seemingly are pursuing the
course commended by the strategists
and are concentrating to resist the Brit
ish main army. Various messages
from correspondents with Lord Roberts
report that the enemy are increasing
continually On his front, extending, as
one correspondent wires, eight miles
and, as another says, eighteen miles.
The lowest estimate Of their numbers
gives the Beers from 5000 to 10000,
with smaller bodies moving north and
south of the British lines. Each army
is OH both sides of the Modder river.
Although the
Beers Have Mounted Eight Guns
on the tops of lxopies and appear to be
too far away for inspection, the British
scouts report that they are diligently
using pick and shovel. Military opin-
ion is that their present position merely
screens more easily defended one far
ther back. No one seems able to fathom
Lord Roberts plans, but it is suggested
that he is quite willing to give the Beers
time to assemble all their men in order
to be able to give sweeping blow more
effectively.

MR.. TAWNEY's STORY
SAYS SECRETARY ROOT DRAFTED
THE PORTO RlCAN BILL.
Minnesota Congressman Gives the Presi
dent as His Autlla ~ for the Statement
and Says the Ways and Means Commit
tee Did Not Know of the Bills Existence

" asH1NaroN, March 6.-The Post
prints interviews with the Republican
members of the ways and means com.
mittee on the authorship of the Porto
Rican tariff bill. Mr.. Tawney made
the distinct statement that the bill was
drafted by Secretary Root, but his col
leagues on the committee We're more or
less non-committal as to the bills au-
thorship. Representative Payne IN.
", chairman of the committee, said he
brought the bill to the committee on his
own responsibility.
"We became convinced" said Mr..
Payne, "that some revenue must be
raised for the island of Porto Rico. The
enactment of tariff law seemed to be
the best way to raise it. I was con-
vinced that the bill was proper one
and am still of that opinion. -
"It has been said that you stated in
the Republican conference that the bill
was drawn by Secretary Root
II was asked in the Republican con-
ference" replied Mr.. Payne, elf the bill
had not been drawn by Mr.. Root. I
did not answer that question"
Representative Dalzell (Pa.), who
ranks next to Chairman Payne Oh the
ways and means committee, declined to
discuss the bill Or say whence it's draft
was received, as did Messrs. Hopkins
and Long. Representative Tawney
(Minn.) said:
Positive Root Is tho Author.
"The first that the Republican men,
bers of the ways and means committee
saw of the Porto Rican tariff bill was at
a first conference on the measure. Only
Republican members of the committee
were present at that conference. The
bill was presented by Chairman Payne
There We're but two other Republicans
on the committee, Messrs. Dalzell and
Russell, who, before it's presentation,
knew Of the existence Of such bill or
Of any plan to depart from the free
trade proposition.
"Where did the bill como from?"
"From tho secretary Of war, Mr..
Root" replied Mr.. Tawney.
"Do you know that personality"
II know it personally, but not from
statements made by either Mr.. Payne
or Secretary Root" he replied. II was
at the White House and saw the presi-
dent before the Republican conference
was called and told him that state
ment would likely be made to the Re-
publicans Of the house that the tariff
bill had been drawn by Secretary Root
and that the ways and means commit
tee in trying to secure it's passage were
only following out Secretary Roots
suggestions. The president answered
that if such statement was made it
should be coupled with all explanation
that Secretary Root had drawn the bill
in the line of duties of his office, just as
heads of departments often do, upon re.

Trade for Porto Rico.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The Post
says: President Mckinley, in conversa-
ton with callers at the White House,
reiterated his belief that the people of
Porto Rico were entitled to free trade
with the United States. He made it
clear that his views had undergone no
change since he wrote his message to
congress. At the same time he said he
was unable to subscribe to the theory
that the constitution followed the flag;
that the Porto Ricans must have free
trade as a necessary legal right. When
he found that the house deemed it the
part of wisdom, the president explained,
to impose small tariff upon condition
that the revenues so collected all be re.
turned to the island he had been con-
strained to yield to the Judgment of the
house.
