HENDERSON OPPOSES 1T.
Speaker of the House Says an Extra Sos
sion of Congress Is Unnecessary
and Would He Unwise.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Speaker Hen
derson is opposed to the movement
for an extra session of congress. Tie
has told the president this. To an
inquiring member he said he believed
it would be unwise and impolitic to
hold an extra session. The speaker
said if the senate would pass the
Spooner bill it would carry all of the
legislation needed for the Philippines,
and there was no need for Cuban leg
islation until the regular session.
Nothing in the conditions in either
the Philippines or Cuba made it neces-
sary that special session should DE
called for insular legislation.

OUR RIGHTS IN CUBA.
PRESIDENT Mckinley Insists on Ger
tain Guarantees in Constitution.
Protection Over the Island Not Desired, But
Privilege Of Veto Power Must BE Com
.s4es4@e eeded-Extra Session OF Congress
Almost Certain.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The presi.
dents position in regard to the Cuban
constitution may be stated definitely
and with emphasis. It is: That jus
tices to the Cubans and the, best in
terests Of both the island and this
government require consideration,
and action shall not be delayed until
the next congress meets in regular
session, nearly q year hence. and that
certain rights Of the United States
should be recognized and formally
guaranteed in the constitution.
That congress, as well as the execu-
tive, consider and approve the Cuban
constitution, especially that part
which shall declare the relations be.
tween the United States and Cuba,
the president deems not only proper,
but highly essential. In the view of
the president a protectorate over
Cuba is not to be contemplated. An
acknowledged right to intervene is
not quite the best way to express
what is called for. Perhaps a reserved
right to the United States to veto in
matters which might jeopardize the
interests of this country comes near
er the definition of what the presi-
dent thinks the Cuban constitution
should settle in, the very beginning. :
1t is not the intention to put Cuba
in the position of a scolony or as u
dependency. 1t is not proposed to
take charge of her foreign relations.
It is the idea that the United States
should have recognized, in the Cuban
constitution, right to exercise au-
thority if the interests of this coun-
try should at any time demand.
Notwithstanding the view held at
the white house, most of the leaders
in the senate and house are opposed
to the extra session idea. They do.
not share in the apprehension that a
disturbance or revolution is possible

Eat HUMAN FLESH.
Driven Natives to Desperate Straits-
Women and Children Sold.

Pekin, Feb. 5.-Reports received
here from Singan Flu all agree that
the famine in the provinces of Shansi
and Shensi is one of the worst in the
history of China. All information on
the subject is necessarily from Chinese
sources. and is fragmentary, but the
stories are all to the same effect,
picturing condition of affairs that is
calculated to arouse the sympathy of
the world for the stricken people. It
is estimated that two-thirds of the
people are without sufficient food or
the means of obtaining it. The wealth
'eris bitterly cold, and this adds to the
misery of starvation. There is little
fuel in either province, and the peo-
pie are tearing out the woodwork Of
their houses to obtain fuel to keep
themselves warm. Oxen, horses, dogs
and other animals used by the farmers
to aid them in their work in ordi-
nary times have practically all been
sacrificed to satisfy hunger. Ii Hung
Chang, in conversation with Mr.. Con-
ger, the American minister, stated
that the people were reduced to eat
ing human flesh. Many of them were
selling their women and children to
obtain money with which to buy food
for the remaining members of their
families. Infanticide is alarmingly
common. Parents driven insane by
want and the cries of their children
for food, which they are unable to
provide, kill the little ones rather than
listen to their cries of distress and see
their sufferings.
While the famine is said to\be worst
in Shansi, it is almost as bad in
Shensi, which is particularly interest
ing now, because it was in the prov
ince that the court had taken refuge.
The court is literally surrounded ty
these horrors. The population of
Shansi is 100000 and of Shensi, g.
oOO, 700.
