ia Paper ia 1897 and IS0S DO In
sure Connict-Document Cited.

iadrid, Feb 27.-A tremendous sensa-
tion has been caused here by the publi-
cation Of a story. credited to the Diario
d IL Marina. of Havana. which has
- q ed an article based on documen-
1arg' evidence. showing that the Leessla-
ture Of the United States was bought by
Tomas Estrada Palma in 1897 to insure
war being declared against Spain.
Bonds TO tie value Of So. .G10,000, re-
deemable when Cuba became independ-
eHt, were issued 10 Senators in Wash
ington. According TO the Diario de Ia
Marina contract exists containing
phrases analogous TO the terms Of the
joint resolution OF April. 1855. which was
voted by Congress.
The value of these bonds referred to fell
heavily In 1893 for which reason a new
contract for Se6,C00.000 was made between
Palma and the Senators. The Diario de-
clared its intention to expose the whole
history of the affair so that the American
Senate viii be compelled TO discuss IT,
Inquiries made in ministerial and diplo-
matte quarters regarding the story elected
professions of ignorance Of anything be
yond what was contained in the Diario's
assertions, but in view OF the gravity Of
the matter Count Saiazar. minister Of for

WILL FIND BAILEY NOT GUILTY
Majority Report Of Investigating
Committee to Report To-day.
Two Other Findings VIII Be Made.
Guilty of Minor Charges.

Austin, Tex Feb 1.-THE reports Of
the Bailey investigating committee were
finished to-day and submitted 20 the
House. but action was deferred until to-
morrow. The reports are three in num-
Der.
The majority report, which is signed
by Chairman II. A. Oneil. T. d. Cobbs.
J. A. L. Wolfe, and J. =. Patton. take
up the charges which were made the
basis of the committee. and dispose of
them, one by one. in each instance rem
dering a finding that the charge was not
sustained by the testimony, and exonerat-
ing Senator Bailey Of all guilt. The ma
jority report is sweeping in its declara-
ton of Mr. Bailey's innocence Of the
charges.
A report signed by J. II. Robertson
takes middle ground To the effect that
Rlr. Bailey has had many tndiscreet tran
sactions, and censuring him mildly for
the practices of which the testimony
proved he was guilty.
The other minority report by G H
Jenkins. finds that Mr.. Bailey is guilty
of several of the minor charges. and that
he should be censUred for some OF his
personal transactions.

WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE.
secret Meeting Starts Rumor OF Chief
Justices Resignation.

There was much speculation last night
as to the purpose Of a conference held at
the White House in the afternoon be
tween President Roosevelt. Secretary
Taft, Secretary Root, Attorney General
Bonaparte. and Henry W. Taft. Of New
York: brother Of Secretary Taft. One
report about it was that Chief Justice
Fuller of the Supreme Court. had placed
his resignation in the hands of the Pres
ident and the conference was for the
purpose Of ascertaining whether Secre-
taTy Taft would be wise in accepting the
Chief Justiceship.
The rest of the story was that Henry
Taft advised his brother not to accept.
and that the Secretary Of War had ac-
quiesced and would announce his eand-
dacy for the Republican nomination for
the Presidency. The only positive and
authentic Information that could be OBJ
tained about this report was that it was
not true. Henry Taft was. lntil recent
ly, special counsel for the government I'm
the prosecution of the tobacco trust. and
one TUmor had it that the conference re-
lated 20 the tobacco cases
1t is known, however that the Panama
Canal situation was discussed Henry
Taft is the law partner of Mr.. Wicker
sham. who was one Of the counsel for the
