sionaryO has returned from San Ho
where Christians We're burned to death
in December Mr.. Killie reports to Gen
Chaffee that some time ago several of
his converts were killed. He had the
guilty parties tried in the Chinese courts
where they were convicted and sentenced
to death, subject to Ii Hung Chang's sig
nature. Mr.. Killie came to Pekin and
saw Lii Hung Chang, who said the men
should be executed Immediately. Upon
going to San He three weeks later the
missionary found the men alive. He
spoke to a judge of the Chinese courts
on the matter who thereupon showed
him a letter from Ii Hung Chang giving
explicit instructions that the men
must not be executed, as they had only
been convicted on the testimony of the
Christians. consequently the evidence was
untrustworthy.

CONFERRED WITH PRESIDENT.
Cubans Do Not Grasp Their Status,
Says Senator CockreII.

says senator COckreII.
Washington, April 17-Senators Proctor
of Vermont and Cockrell of Missouri had
an important conference with the Presi-
dent this morning regarding the <etua-
ton in Cuba. Both senator's have made
trips to the island since the adjournment
of Congress. Senator Cockre!l, as rep
resentative of the political opposition in
the Senate, is held in high esteem by the
President, who was greatly interested to-
day in listening to his views. Senators
Proctor and Cockrell agreed substantially
as to the conditions existing on the island
and they agree as to the outcome of the
pending negotiations with the Cubans.
Their views as to conditions already have
been given to the public Senator Cock
rell told the President that in his opin-
ion the Cubans would accept the terms of
the Platt amendment in the end. After
the commission appointed to visit Wash
ington understands the situation he thinks
there will be no alternative open to them.
In this view Senator Proctor concurs.
THE Cubans," said Senator CockreN,
apparently do not fully grasp their
status. They are not now a government.
They have no power to treat diplomat
ically with the United States. The pres
ent Constitutional Convention was called
into being through our agency. 1t only
has power to submit 10 the United States
for approval a plan or constitution for
representative government. If we reject
it outright the existing status continues.
They can do nothing. But il the modif-
cations and conditions which we propose
are accepted then they can proceed to or
ganize a representative government. Until
such government is organized the troops
of the United States, in my opinion, can
not be withdrawn. l am firmly convinced
that the convention. after it hears the
report of the commission which it has
sent here, will accept the Platt amend
ment"

WILL HAVE TO BE DEFEATED.
Chinese Court Seems to Have No
Authority Over Generals.

Pekin. April 1z-Trustworthy Chinese
report that troops in large numbers are
masslng in the province of Shan ST, near
the frontier of the province of Chi Lii.
Well-informed natives prophesy further
trouble. 1t is impossible to ascertain
whether the court is playing double
game or its authority is insufficient to
prevent the Chinese generals acting in a
manner likely to provoke hostilities.
The fact that for many months there
has been nothing in the shape of a de
facto government favors the latter hy-
pcthesis.
Probably great deal will depend upon
the Franco German expedition inficting
a severe defeat upon the Chinese who
nave transgressed the agreement by en-
tering into the sphere of the allies. If
these Offenders are thoroughly punished
it is likely to produce a good effect.
