HAVANA P0sT-OFFlcE FRAUDS.
Special ATTORNEYS A ppointed TO Prosecute
November Death X ate Low.

Havana, Dec. 3.-Messrs. Horatio Reu-
bens and Lueius NJ. Lamar have received
official appointments as special attorneys
for the government in prosecuting the
post-office frauds. They will begin the
preparation of the cases Immediately in
order to bring them 10 trial at the earliest
possible moment.
Maj. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer OF
Havana, in his report for November
shows that 44 deaths occurred In the city
from al causes this being the lowest
number for the same month during the
last ten years. The deaths due 10 yellow
fever were ffty-fOur, or twenty below the
figures for October. Thirty-seven yellow
fever patients are now under treatment,
four OF whom are Americans
One hundred and ten thousand dollars
have been appropriated for the purchase
of 1900 cattle and 500 brood mares. TO be
distributed among the farmers of Santa
Clara, Puerto Principe, and Santiago,
where they will be sold at cost and on
easy tnstallments. Senior Lacoste, seers-
tAry of agriculture, during his recent visit
TO the United States, made inquiries as

LoNDONPREss ON THE MESSAGE.
References TO China the Principal Subject
of Editorial Comment.

London, Dec. 4.-Comment upon Presi-
dent McKiniey's message TO Congress is
chiefly devoted to the references to
Americas Chinese policy. The Daily
Graphic says:
''The policy of the United State re-
garding China Is not heroic, but il is GER
tainiy practical, and there is ample rea-
son to believe that IL will prevail"
The Times says: THE message makes
1t clear that on the vital point Of insist
ing upon punishment for the outrages.
Mr.. Mckinley remains firm. We are
glad to see that on the subject of guar
antees for Christian converts the Presi-
dent makes new proposal in advance or
any put forward elsewhere. In regard to
the indemnity question he is In agree
ment with some of the best opinion in
England"
The Times editorial concludes with the
expression of a hope that MIR. McKin-
ley's second term NAV be marked by
satisfactory settleme 1T Of all outstand-
ing questions between Great Britain and
America"
The Daily News says: ''The message
contains nothing new and nothing very
illuminating on matters that are old. IL
will be very closely scanned for its ref
eTences TO China. Ii looks as though the
American formula were that the powers
are TO specify the culprits and the Chi
nese government is 10 specify the pun
ishment. On such terms speedy set
Element would undoubtedly be possible,
but would IL be effective or durable?"
The Standard, which agrees with the
Times in thinking that If all the powers
had withdrawn after the legations were
relieved to the same extent as the United
states there would not now be much
chance of obtaining satisfaction, remarks:
1.-THE excessive anxiety to re-establish
trade with China is. perhaps. the real ex-
planation OF some points that have not
seemed satisfactory In the recent policy
of the United States"
In the opinion Of the Standard, the
washington government has acted as a
drag on European diplomacy.
The Daily Chronicle observes: Clearly
the United States government is able to
boast OF ar aggregate Of imports and ex-
ports exceeding two billions and 10 pro-
pose a reduction Of revenue taxation &c
The extent OF thirty millions, The admin.
istration has fair justification, even II

WILL TAKE IT UP TO-DAY
Shipping Subsidy Bill Given Prece.
dence in the Senate.
The steering Committee Meets and Con-
siaers Various Measures-The Hay
Pauneefote Treaty TO Be
Pressed TO q Vote.

The Republican Senatorial Committee
on Order of Business yesterday afternoon
decided that the ship subsidy bill should
displace the Spooner Philippine bill as the
unfinished business. II also considered at
the same time the disposition Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, and decided that that
question should receive alternate attention
with the shipping bill. The arrangement
provides that the shipping bill shall have
preference, but that when no one is pre-
pared 10 make a speech on IL the Senate
shall go into executive session for the
consideration of the treaty.
In accordance with this understanding
Senator Frye, at the first opportunity
to-day will move TO take up the bill,
and II this motion prevails. as there is
little doubt ii will, the effect will be to
displace the Spooner bill, which there is
no disposition at this time to press. Sem
ator Frye probably viii make a speech.
II is not expected that any one other SEN
ator will be prepared to proceed on the
subsidy measure and In that event
Senator Lodge. of the Committee on For
eign Relations, who viii have charge OF
the treaty, will move an executive session
in order to consider the treaty.
The arrangement further provides that
If the army bin reaches the Senate prior
TO the disposal of the shipping bill or the
treaty, either or both OF these may be
displaced temporarily In order TO permit
the prompt consideration of that measure
which is considered to be of more press
ing importance than either of the other
questions. The same understanding pre-
walls regarding the appropriation bills.
Senator Morgan's Nicaragua Canal bill
received some consideration at the hands
OF the Committee on Order of Business.
While no definite agreement was reached
concerning it. the opinion was generally
expressed that II should wait upon the
Senate's action on the treaty. The men,
bers OF the committee apparently consider
that the ratification of the treaty is a
necessary preliminary to the passage Of
the canal bill, and the present disposition
is 10 contead for that order OF precedence.
The committee also discussed the pos
sibility of Democratic opposition 10 the
subsidy bill. Some of the members who
had talked with Democratic Senators ex-
pressed the opinion that there would be no
effort to prevent this legislation by fac
tious opposition, though they expect a
number of speeches against II.
Senator Lodge was called into the con-
ference for the purpose OF consultation
concerning the treaty, He stated that he
would be prepared to proceed with IL at
any time, and that he was anxious TO have
IL disposed OF at as early day as pos
sible.
