Men—Another Expedition to Go Fr'om
Boston, and Iowa Purposes to Fur-

. nish a Regiment For Cuba.

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 16.—The Cuban
junta has established several recruiting
offices in this state, and an effort will be
made to take at least 1,000 men from In-
diana. to fight for Cuban independence.
The central recruiting office was opened
in this city with Dr. E. I. Wright in
charge. He announced that he had se-
cured the pledges of 65 men. and that the
first expedition would leave here the latter
part of the week. The other offices are at
Evansville, Terra Haute, Fort Wayne, Ko—
homo and Anderson. Dr. Wright tells
1he men who call upon him that the junta
advances the money to take the men to
Cuba and furnishes thenfiarms. The pay
' for cavalry and, infantry troops is $22 a
month and for artillery service $27 a
month. Each man is to be credited with
three months’ pay in advance, out of
which his expenses until he reaches the
seat of war will be paid.

Patriotic liostoniuns.

BOSTON, Doc. ili.-——Eighty-five men, in-
telligent and well up in military drill, left
lloston bound for Cuba, where they will
fight in the army of the insurgents. They
were in command of Louis Marshall of
East Boston, who was a. corporal in the
Union armv during the rebellion. Since
the outbreak of the war in Cuba his sym-
pathies have been with the insurgents,
and he has in many ways assisted them
materially. '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. When they arrive in New
York, the men will be marched to one of
the suburbs, where they will be drilled
with other recruits for a few days-after
which they will all embark for the seat of
war. The men will be shipped from New
York to Jamaica on a. British steamship.

DENVER, Dec. 16.-—Armed to the teeth
and equipped for war, a. company of 300
men, with cannon and camp utensils, will
leave Denver in a few days to cast their
fate with the Cuban insurgents. The men
will be under the leadership of Dr. H. L.
Darnell, who'has a brother in the Cuban
junta in New York city, with whom he
has been in correspondence for some time.

. Ottumwnns Pledge Themselves.

OTTUMWA, 1a., Dec. 16.—The local mi-
litia company adopted a resolution pledg-
ing itself to uphold any action taken by

General Colby’s Opinion.

BEATRICE, Neb., Dec. 16.—Genera1 L.
W. 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.

The ”Newark and Raleigh.

KEY WEST, Dec. 16.—The hasty depar-
ture of the United States cruisers Newark
and Raleigh caused much excitement, and
many rumors were circulated as to their
destination. The most probable rumor is
that the vessels have been ordered by the
collector of customs to intercept the Three
Friends, which left Fernandina on Sun-
day night with an expedition for Cuba.

SENATE STILL AT CUBA

Lower House Also Takes a. Hand In
This Important Matter.

 

SENATOR MORGAN’S SPEECH.

'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-

A LUMBER TARIFF.

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.

Demands For Legislation.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 16. —Pursuant toe call
issued by J. E. 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. Judson and Defebaugh made ad-
dresses explaining the purpose of the con-
vention, the request for the call and the
present condition of the lumber business.’
Both had prepared statements, with sta-
tistics, on the lumber trade. 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.

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.

SanNEOTADY, N. Y., Dec. 15.—It is
stated at Union college today that Elipha-
let Nott Potter, who has just resigned the
presidency of Hobart college, isnot, as was
reported, to occupy a chair in Union. The
facts appear to be that Dr. Potter li‘lS re-
signed the presidency of Hobart t silage

in SQIe gctady. He has not, however,
been inv ted to Union "college in any ca-
