'lhe men volunteered their services to the cause ovtr a. month ago, and since that time they have been drill- ing persistently each day and anxiously awaiting the time for their departure. They received no prrmises in the way of a return for their services from the Cu- ban junta in this city, but they persisted in their requests to he enlisted as volun- teers and said they were willing to die. if necessary, for the cause of Cuba. They paid their own expenses. Their command- er, Marshall, will get a captain’s commis- sion in the insurgent army when they ar- rive in Cuba.

Colby, assistant attorney general dur- ing President Harrison’s administration and for many years at the head of the Ne- braska national guard, takes an advanced position on the Cuban troubles and the a1~ leged assassination of Maceo. He said to- night: “I have been studying the situation and conditions down there closely, and I am satisfied that with 10,000 men—and by that I mean American men—I could whip Weyler and his Spanish soldiers, and if I could get some wealthy American to back me in it, I would do it. ” ' General Colby won some military re— nown by aiding in the subjection of the Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee.

'l‘he Alabaman Denounces Spanish neth- ods and Declares That Our Prompt Action Is Necessary to Pro- , vent Further‘Cnrnnge. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Rev. T. De Witt, Talmage delivered the prayer at the open- ing of the senate today. and eloquent invocation for divine bless- ing on the national lawmakers and on the whole people. In the absence of the vice president Mr. Frye occupied the chair. ’ It was a feeling . Mr. Hale (Rep, Me.) presented the ,re- 1 port of the appropriation committee on the pension bill and gave notice that he would call it up tomorrow. The house concurrent resolution for a holiday adjournment from Dec. 22 to Jan. 5 was reported favorably and agreed to. Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala.) presented the credentials of Edmund Winston Pettus as - a senator from Alabama. for the term, be- -, ginning March 4 next, to succeed Mr. Pugh. ' Something of a stir was occasioned when Mr. Allen (Pop, Neb.) offered a res- olution for a committee of nine senators "on the use of money in elections. ” The resolution directs that the committee “shall thoroughly investigate the extent to which money, if any, was used in con- nection with the recent presidential elec- tion, either in promoting the nominations or in influencing in any manner the choice , of presidential electors, and to inquire whether any such expenditures were ex- cessive, legitimate, corrupt or unlawful, and especially to inquire .and ascertain to what extent for ,such purposes the owners of silver mines, gold mines, the bankers, the manufacturers, the railroad or other . corporations and millionaires of all classes made contributions, and what contribu- i tions, if any, were made by persons and _ ‘ of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad com- corporations residing abroad. ” The resolution further empowers the proposed committee to send for persons and papers and directs a report by the first Monday of December, 1897. Mr. Allen made no remarks on the reso- lution, but sent to the clerk’s desk and had read several newspaper clippings contain- ing charges of irregularity in connection with the recent election. The resolution was then referred to the committee on con- tingent expenses, Mr. Allen remarking that he earnestly desired a speedy report back to the senate. Mr. Dingley came on the floor during the transaction of morning business and conferred for some time with Mr. Aldrich (Rep, R. I.). The bill validating certain New Mexico bonds was taken up, the house. amend- ments agreed to and the senate amend- ? ers (Vt. ). ments disagreed to, so that the bill now , _ . bill was finally passed.

Convention of Lumbermen to Formulate After the adjournment several senators 1 expressed themselves freely on the subject of Cuba. ‘ - Senator .Call said: “I do not know what the committee on foreign relations will do in the matter, but I am satisfied that the American people have been horrified by the latest outrage, and that they are ready to demand that some action be taken by this government to stop bloodshed on the island. It is possible that the Republicans are waiting until after March 4, so as to allow Mr. McKinley to deal with the mat- ter, but I anticipate some action by con- gress that will notify Spain that butcher- ies must cease, and which will be of ulti~ mate benefit to the insurgent cause. ” Senator Mills characterized the killing of Maceo as an outrage that had disgraced civilization, if the reports concerning it prove to be true, and said that the first ex- pression of condemnation by this govern— ment should be to give the Spanish minis- ter his passports. The senator said the time has certainly come when we should' interfere and prevent further bloodshed. “It is the United States that is keeping Cuba in vassalage to Spain,” he said, “and we have incurred a degree of responsibility which we ’can no longer ignore. favor of any action that will give Cuba in- dependence and stop the present war.” Senator Cullom also spoke strongly upon the subject. “If the story is true,” he said, “it confirms what I have said about the brutality of the Spanish methods of warfare. Theirs is not the warfare of brave men, but of assassins. If the story of Macao’s killing is confirmed, I am sat- isfied it will hasten the independence of Cuba, because it will force this country to interfere in some way. I do not believe any action can be taken by the senate un- til the story is fully confirmed, but if it proves true I feel satisfied that decided ac- tion will be taken.” ‘ In the House. A large basket of American Beauty roses graced the desk of Mr. Morse (Mass) when the house met today. They had been sent by the Antisalocn league of this city “in grateful appreciation of his efforts in behalf of temperance.” Several minor relief bills were passed by unanimous consent. Under the arrangement made last Thursday the bill transferring the rights pany under the original government char- ter to the mortgagees upon their purchase of the property was called up by Mr. Pow- He explained the bill and its purpose. Seine 42,000,000 acres of land were granted to the road, an enormous grant, he admitted. but much of the land was arid and only 700,000 acres had been sold. The road had been built by money loaned to it on mortgage, and now that the mortgage was to be foreclosed it was only just that the mortgagees should suc- ceed to the franchise and rights of the original company. if the original company had been derelict, the innocent advancers of. money should not suffer. If this bill were not passed, the mortgagecs would be simply tenants in common. They could not organize themselves into a new cor- poration. The Atlantic and Pacific reorganization Representative Woodman (1115.) today introduced a joint resolution directing the president to intervene in Cuban affairs. The resolution, after reciting General Ma- ceo’s reported assassination and. Spanish president has made any specific recom- g mendations or indications as to any action he deems it proper or expedient for con- gress to take with reference to Spain or Cuba, nor that he has indicated any course, except a still patient waiting, that the executive proposes to take. Congress thus is left to its own initiative. It must assume its own responsibility in a matter of the most serious gravity. cruclt-ies in Cuba, says that the president has failed to carry out the wishes of the people, that the honor of the United States is at stake, and that history gives no prece- dent on which to base a hope that Spain will change to compliance with civilized warfare. The Pacific Railroads. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. —The senate com- mittee on Pacific railroads held a meeting today for the purpose of preparing plans for securing consideration of the Pacific railroad bills, now pending in the senate, . on the favorable report of this committee. “Congress must give to the statements - of the president unhesitating acceptance as to matters that were committed by the constitution to his especial charge. When he undertakes to state the facts that affect our relations with other powers, we must accept those facts unless the disproof of them is overpowering. “This message is, therefore, of the most impressive importance as a statement of the leading facts and conclusions that bear upon our duties in respect to the conflict of arms which has raged for over two years in the island of Cuba, and it has the support of nearly all Americans. I have not heard that Spain controverts any statement of the president in his message. The evidence that comes from private sources relative to the condition of Cuba and the horrors of persecution, rapine and extermination visited upon the people of 3 Cuba admits of no doubt as to its credi- j- bility. Yet it presents pictures so incred- ibly inhuman and so disgraceful to the civilization of this age that it stuns the mind into disbelief that such things can be true.” ' As Mr. Morgan spoke the galleries filled and his words were followed with close at- tention by the senators, and the large num- ber of spectators. For Prompt Action. Mr. Morgan went on to speak of the trying situation, which required prompt action to save thousands of innocent peo-‘ ple from cruel and deliberate butchery., The wholesale massacres of Spain were nol surprise to the senator, who had anticipat- ed them. , “If war with the United States is neces- sary to reconcile the Spanish people to the loss of Cuba by foreign conquest, ” said Mr. Morgan, “we shall be compelled to meet that emergency. If the destruction of Cuba. is enough to satisfy the popular sentiment of revenge, we can avoid a war with Spain by remaining inactive, while our, own people are being ruined or s] an gh- tered along with the Cubans. If we mean to take any action toward stopping this war of annihilation and extermination, We have no time to lose. ” _ Mr. Morgan spoke of the resolution of congress at the last session,. which, he said, left to the president the choice of consuming with the policy of congress or delaying. The president chose delay. The war has continued, said Mr. Morgan, un- til it has reached the final and desperate state of a war of devastation and extermi- nation, With the people of Cuba as a prey to those who have set aside the usual hon: orable usages of warfare, “and have be- come robbers, cutthroats, assassins, ravish- ers and pirates.” ' All of these crimes, Mr. Morgan de- clared, would be found to have been au-‘ thentically stated to our government when the seals of secrecy are broken and they are brought to the knowledge of the world for the vindicatiomof our course, “if we are forced to war to put an end to this seturnalia of blood and fire. ” Mr. Morgan closed .his Cuban speech at 8:10 p. m., and the senate then agreed to There was a general exchange of views, and it was agreed that, in view of the fact that the mortgages on both the'Union Pa- cific and the Central Pacific are now prac- tically due, it was important to secure the action of congress at the earliest practi- cable date.

Defebaugh, publisher of The Lumberman, 150 delegates, repre- senting 27 states, assembled here to- day when the national convention of lum- ber interests was called to order. Previous to perfecting a. temporary organization Messrs.

They ap- pealed to the delegates from the southern states, which section was largely repre- sented. Most of the southern delegates have been free traders, but in responding to the wel- coming addresses of Judson and Defe- baugh these delegates insisted that if there is to be a protective tariff lumber should not be discriminated against, and that they would do all they could to secure a tariff on lumber: They stated that all . , other articles used in connection with lum- , her, in all sorts of construction, Were pro- tected, and that the lumber trade was now so depressed as to require relief. A temporary organization was perfect- ed, with J. A. Freeman as chairman and J. E. Defebaugh and W. B. Judson secre~ tarics. Mr. Freeman made a speech “against the tariff of 1894 as discriminating against lumber and urged the convention to take such action as would secure just treatment to the lumber interests in the tariff bill to be enacted by the coming con- Secretary Defebaugh read many letters from lumbermen who could not be present, but who pledged their .co-opera- tion in an .' action the convention might take to secure a. tariff on lumber. The usual committees were appointed by the chairman, and a division of the work for ‘ the session of_ two days was made. , While the present purpose is to secure a . ' tariff on lumber, a. permanent organiza- ' tion is being perfected for the general in- terests of lumbermen in the future. Another Six Day Race.

If the Plan Is Adopted, the President Elect Will Be a Guest at the Whig.“ House—The Object Is to Avoid All Embarrassmentl. ALBANY, Dec. 15. —The governor of New York yesterday sent an important telegram to the president of the United States relat- ing to the critical condition of affairs in Cuba. If the president had received the tele- gram, which was sent just about the time he left the capitz~ '. he would probably have deferred his duck-. ,: trip to a later day and become for the time being the host of Pres— ident Elect McKinley. Governor Morton’s message to the presi- dent' was in relation to the generally critic- ‘ al condition of Cuban affairs and the as- , executive, and Governor - ters be sent to him by special courier. of the state at Albany, whiéh is to e 3 place on Wednesddy, Jan. 6, p'xb‘mi sassination of General Maceo in particular. It contained the novel suggestion that President Cleveland invite President Elect McKinley to Washington to discuss the most feasible plan to be followed by the president concerning the attitude of the United States toward Cuba during the re- mainder of President Cleveland’s term of office. , The New York governor pointed out in his telegram, which was forwarded to the executive mansion: yesterday afternoon, the complications that might confront President Elect McKinley in dealing with the Cuban question as a result of any pre— cipitate or ill advised act on the part of President Cleveland. To Avoid Embarrassment. It seems to be Governor Morton’s idea that the most extreme caution be used. by the president in taking any step in rela- tion to Cuba in order that such action shall not embarrass President Elect McKinley when he assumes the reins of government. The critical condition of Cuban (Hairs at present justifies the belief that it will be necessary for President McKinley to recom- mend some decisive act to the congress im- mediately upon assuming the duties of orton’s sugges- tion that President Cleveland personally consult his successor wasintended to pre- vent any embarrassment to‘ the new execu- tive. It is not probable that Governor Morton would have proffered his suggestion unless he believed that it would be acceptable to , President Elect McKinley. Indeed, it is said that the governor has had scme cor- ' respondence with the president elect onthe .; subject. The president probably has not received the telegram’ addressed to him by Governor Morton. If not, it will be forwarded to him. He left Washington yesterdav for a week’s duck shooting in South Carolina, but left instructions at the executive man- sion that all important telegrams 1.:11 lHt- e will probably receive Governor Morton’s telegram very soon, in any event.
