CAUSES BIG STIR.
Testimony OE r. b. Thurbcr Before
Committee on Cuban Relations.

Testimony OE r. b. Thurbcr Before
Committee on Cuban Relations.
Washington, June 13.-The testimony
given yesterday before the committee
on Cuban relations by F. B. Thurber,
showing that between $4,000 and $4,000
had been paid out of the Cuban treasury
under the direction of Gov. Gen. Wood
for the promotion of the effort to Sc
cure reciprocity between the United
States and Cuba caused sensation in
the senate yesterday.
Opinions as to the ultimate effect of
the testimony are as varied as the
predictions and prejudices of the SEN
ate, but the immediate results are seen
In the decision reached during the at
ternoon to have two caucuses in the
early future. The first of these will be
held by the beet sugar Republican SEN
ators to day, and the second by all the
Republican senators Friday or Satur-
day. The purpose of the meeting of the
beet sugar men is to
Consider the Situation
as affected by yesterdays develop
rents, AMI also to receive report from
the committee, consisting of Sena tors
Elkins, Burrows and Jones of Nevada,
appointed to confer with the Republic
an members of the Cuban committee.
This committee will state that the
Cuban committee has declined to con-
slider all the propositions looking to a
compromise which have been made,
and it probably will ask to he dis
charged. The propositions that have
been made are two-first, for a rebate,
and the second, for a commercial
treaty with Cuba. The committee will
say that both plans were rejected and
that the members of the Cuban commit
tee would not change their position
that there must be straight reduction
Of 20 per cent without any conditions
except that the president might have
power to revoke the concession in case
he found that the Cuban planters were
not
Getting tke BENEFIT
of it. The full conference will be in the
nature of a caucus. Senator Aldrich
expresses confidence in being able to
secure fully as Republican votes in ia
vor of any bill that may be reported by
the Cuban committee. This is a major
ity of the senate, and the friends of re-
duction express themselves as hopeful
of passing bill satisfactory to them.
They say the. testimony OF Mr. Thurber
does not affect the merits of the ques-
ton in the least, and they contend that,
even admitting the course Of the Cuban
government was censurable, it cannot
and should not prevent the government
of the United States doing what it has
promised to do and what it is right to
do. They do not, however, admit that
the course was improper. The beet
sugar senators undeniably are more
hopeful than they have been heretofore
Some of them profess to believe that
the revelation will have the effect OF
at least causing a halt in the proceed
ings in the interest of reciprocity.

Washington, June ia cablegram
received yesterday by Secretary Hay
from United States Minister Conger at
Pekin confirms the reported acceptance
by the resident foreign ministers there
of the general proposition of the United
States government for pro rata seal
ing down Of the claims of the various
nations for indemnity on account of the
Boxer uprising. 1t is understood, how
ever, that England and Japan do not
share in the reduction, for their ac-
counts clearly establish the fact that
their legitimate and actual expenses
were even more than their indemnity
claims, while the other nations party
to the agreement had made themselves
rather liberal allowances in fixing the
total Of their claims.

Opelika, Ala, June Il. - AIe:.ander
City, a place Of $500 Inhabitants, was
wiped away by fire yesterday, the loss
reaching at least s75o,o00, which the in
surance will not begin to cover.
The flames began in the foundry and
machine works, and the long period of
hot. dry weather had well prepared the
buildings of the little city for the rapid
spread of the flames. A light wind was
blowing and with fierce rapidity the
fire spread from building to building
until the entire town was a seethine
mass Of flames.
The place has no waterworks and all
the terror-stricken people could do was
to save what little they could, and then.
almost PROSTATE, flee from the awful
heat. G4
A Mass of Ashes.
Dadeville was telegraphed to for dyn-
amite so that some of the buildings
could be destroyed and thus check the
progress of the flames, but it arrived
only to find the city mass of ashes.
On account of the fact that the tele-
graph and telephone offices have been
destroyed it is impossible to obtain ex-
act information regarding the fire.
