| Washington, Feb. 10.-In order to
solve the Cuban problem without call
ing an extra session the president has
consented to allow Senator Plat Of
Connecticut to try and get congress to
pass a joint resolution which shall
cover five demands of the United
States on the new Cuban government.
They are:
First-Guarantee of protection of life
and property of Spaniards resident in
the island.
Second-Pledge not to recognize the
bonded debt which Spain tried to
fasten on the island.
ird-Reimbursement of the United
States of a part of the cost of the
Spanish war.
Fourth-A coaling station and naval
base.
Fifth-Control by the United States
of foreign treaties.
1t is proposed to attach the resolu-
ton to the army appropriation bill as
an amendment and let both pass or
fail, as Democratic opposition DEGREES.
Persons in positions to be we'll in
formed as to the presidents purposes
believe that an extra session will be
inevitable unless congress shall take
some action with respect to Cuba and
its relation to this country. With that
matter disposed of there is good reason
to believe that an extra session will
be avoided. A strong effort will be
made to render an extra session UNI
necessary, and with this feeling the
president is in full accord.

Chin ese Minister Mny Become Per-
soma Non Grata.
Washington, Feb. 10. = For the first
time since his residence here Mr.. WI
Ting-fang, the Chinese minister to the
United States, is in the bad graces of
the American government. There is a
general opinion in administration cir
cles that Mr.. WI went too far and
violated his rights as foreign repre-
sentative in his criticism of Gen. Otis
in a letter declining to attend the din
ner to Gen. Otis by the Society of The
Genesse in New York Thursday night.
Mr.. Wus statements that Gen. Otis
committed an egregious error" in
prohibiting emigration of the Chinese
in the Philippines and that Gen. Otis
acted upon the ill-advice of some one,
are resented by high officials, one Of
whom declared that Mr.. WI had made
"a very bad break, a repetition of
which might tarnish brilliant diplo-
matte career.''' So far no action has
been taken by the government in re-
gard to the letter. 1t was limited that
somebody would make complaint
against Mr.. WI. In that event the
government would feel compelled to do
something.

Manila, Feb. 10. - Since the arrest
of Theodore Carranza and D. M. Car
man, charged with furnishing supplies
to aid the insurgents, evidence has
been rapidly developing tending to.
show that not the Carman company
alone, but many business men in Ma
Mia have been having relations with
the insurgents. The secret service Of
ficers brought from Pagsanjan three
natives, Cosme, Almonte and Llamos,
members of Gen. Cables insurgent
committee in that district. The papers
found on them were so personally in
eliminating that they were led to di-
vulge damaging information concerns
ing Carman and others not arrested.
Cosme acknowledged he was Carman's
partner in insurgent trading. Llamos
has become distinguished by his ora
tory among the Filipinos.
The police learned that F'abello, ex-
president and. ally of Carman in his
Laguna de Bay dealings, has $4,000 in
insurgent money deposited in the
Spanish Filipino bank at Manila. The
officers confiscated this money. Man
ager Bilbas, of the bank, who had
loaned Carman considerable sum Of
money without security, is under sus-
picion. New patches Of discriminating
evidence were received by the pro-
vost marshal yesterday.
Gen. Young, commander of North
western Luzon, is to return to the
United States. Gen. Bell, the provost
marshal of Manila, will succeed him.
There had been considerable misun-
derstandings between the military and
the new provincial officers at Benguet,
based partly on the belief of the SUBJ
ordinate military officers that Provin-
cial Secretary Scherer had been an in
surgent sympathizer. Mutual under
standings have been reached and the
military in Benguet have been ordered
to cooperate fully with the civil au-
thorities.

Reply Anent the Hny-PauncefOtc
Treaty Expected Soon.
London, Feb. 10.-It has been learned
by a representative of the Associated
Press that a reply will shortly be sent
to the United States anent the Hay
Paunceeote treaty. 1t will not COM
ply with the senate's demand. Neither
will it be in the nature of a flat re-
fusal, though, for purposes of imme-
date construction, it will be tanta-
mount to such a refusal. 1t will con-
sist, mainly in counter proposal, or
proposals, likely to necessitate extend
ed negotiations. The nature of the
proposal is not yet ascertainable. Lord
Pauncefote will probably be the me-
dunn through .')1om the answer will
be sent and by whom the subsequent
negotiations will chiefly be conducted.
In British official opinion it is likely
to be several months before the mat
ter reaches a conclusion, by which time
the IIay-Pauncefote treaty will have
elapsed on the basis of the senate's
amendment. The British counter pro-
posals are now formulating and it is
hoped and entirely new agreement
satisfactory to both countries will
eventually be reached.

1t is singular, but true, that the in.
dustrial school system of the United
States owes its origin, in large part,
to Hawaii. General Armstrong, the
founder of Hampton Institute, was
the son of that Hawaiian educator
who organized the schools of the Ha-
waiian Islands. Hampton this winter
contains eight grandchildren of former
Indian students. Honolulu, in the
course of but a single generation,
shows still more notable instance Of
rapid aboriginal development. A former
queen of Hawaii, awakened to a sense
of a finer civilization, came with
great pomp and retinue to express her
wish for reform. Unwrapping from
her body the seventy-five yards of
broadcloth which had composed her
royal robe, she burned it in the public
square. Her niece, Lady Bishop, later
bequeathed her entire property Of over
a million dollars to the cause of edu-
cation in Hawaii. Today the COM
pulsory school system of those islands
is so admirable that Australia lately
sent there for a teacher to expound in
the southern continent the Hawaiian,
American system of education.

Attempt to FAX Time for Vote ON the
Shipping Bill Fails.
Washington, Feb. 9.-An Intellectual
effort was made in the senate yester-
day to secure an agreement upon q
time for final vote upon the shipping
BILL. Vigorous protests were made by
opponents of the measure against any
such. agreement, even for a date In the
indefinite future. = Mr.. Pritchard Of

ing laid aside informally. The naval

Yesterday was probably the last day

lation by the house of representatives
made in the Fifty-first congress, was
almost touched yesterday when 1874
bills were passed against 1877 passed at
a single session in the former con-
gress. In all the house at this session
of congress has passed about 900 bills,
q number considerably exceeded in the
Fifty-first. A general pension bill was
passed to restore to the pension rolls
widows of soldiers Of the rebellion who
subsequently married and became
widowed or divorced. By the terms
of the bill, however, it's benefits are
limited to widows Of soldiers who were
married before the close of the rebel
rion and who are now dependent upon
their own labor for support.

marvellous is it that simultaneous mes
