OONUOWONOOY Spain’s Treatment of American Cili- zen’s Rounrlly Denounced. THE '2 MORGAN RESOLUTION. [hp Alabamau Explains \Vhy Sanzullly’s Release Should Be Demanded Forth- with — Senator Daniel Makes a Strong Statement. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The senate com- mittee on foreign relations met today to consider the request qt the state depart- E ment that the committee do not press its resolution demanding the immediate re- lease Of General Julio Sanguilly from a. 2 Spanish prison in Cuba. The committee gave the subject careful attention, but de- clined to grant the request. i It appeared from the statement of the 1 secretary of state that the Spanish govern- ment’s promise. to release Sanguilly was coupled with the provision that he should withdraw his appeal from the second son- tence of the Cuban court, and it was stat- ed that release could be secured at any time that this condition should be complied with. The committee’s discussion was on this point, and the opinion was generally expressed that for Sanguilly to pursue this course would be inadvisable, for the rea- son that it would amount to an acknowl- edgment of guilt and would be equivalent to the abandonment of any claims that he might have against the Spanish govern- ment for damages. The committee therefore decided to press the consideration of the resolution reported yesterday. The senate started in for a long day’s work today, the purpose being to remain in session continuously until quite late. A conflict was imminent between those advocating action on the pending Cuban resolutions and those anxious to advance the belated appropriation bills. Mr. Hoar (Rep, Mass.) asked for an agreement for a final vote on the bank ruptcy bill at 2 p. in. next Monday, but there were objections owing to the small attendance. The resolution of Mr. Hoar stating a brief form of credentials for senators was adopted. A brisk contest arose when Mr. Petti- grew (Pop, S. D.) moved to proceed with the Indian bill. Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala.) was on his feet, seeking to take up the res- Olution relative to the immediate release of Julio Sanguilly. Mr. Hill (Dcm., N. Y.) interposed the point of order that the motion of Mr. Pettigrew could not be en- tertained until the close of the morning business. The chair sustained the point, and the Cuban resolutions were taken up. The first resolution coming over from yesterday was that of Mr. Allen, asking the president to use effective measures to protect American citizens in Cuba and to that end to send warships to Cuban ports. Mr. Allen’s Remarks. Mr. Allen said American citizens were daily being arrested in Cuba and thrown into prison without any trial, many of them being denied access to the United States consul general. It seemed to be the disposition of Spain to punish every American citizen in Cuba. It was, he said, a. story full of barbarity and atrocity. Re- cently a lady had been taken by Spanish officials and her person searched under cir‘ cumstances of extreme cruelty. Little girls had been gathered up in Cuba and sold into the worst conceivable slavery, sold to a. life of shame. Spanish soldiers had taken infants, held them up by their heads, hacked them to pieces with the deadly machete and killed the parents. Such action was a blot on the civiliza- tion of the age. Why should congress re main supine? The time would come when this inaction would make our people hang their heads for being American citizens. Mr. Morgan said the committee on for- eign relations had pressed forward this protection to American citizens as fast as the well authenticated facts would permit. The reports of atrocities against women and little girls were vague and did not have that verification warranting action by the committee. It had, however, brought forward the resolution for the im- mediate release Of Sanguilly, as the facts in the case were established beyond ques- Ion. Mr. Hoar inquired whether some time should not be given for senators to exam- ine into the Sanguilly report, as action on the subject involved grave international considerations. Mr. Morgan felt that speedy action was essential. He reviewed the circumstances of Sanguilly’s arrest and long confinement, the proof of his American citizenship, his freedom from complicity in the revolution. his several trials and other well known circumstances in the case. While the Cuban debate proceeded the public galleries filled rapidly, many ’Of the Daughters of the Revolution,.- now attend- ing the convention here, being present. Tro-tmont of Sungullly. Mr. Morgan read from the treaties and pointed out the essential ofi'enpes against Senguilly to be solitary cOnflnement, without opportunity to prepare a. defense; no bail except bond to pay the costs of his own prosecution; no trial within a. limit- ed time, as provided by treaty; piling up charges of kidnaping; irregularities of the several trials; receiving hearsay and unsworn testimony. One of Sanguilly’s chief witnesses, Catoma, he said, had been shot in the prison yard before he could be heard in Sanguilly’s behalf. The trials had shown. the extreme hatred existing against. the United States, the Spanish officials indulging in diatribes against this country. The resolution demanding im- mediate relcase was justified, Mr: Morgan said, on the sole ground of irregularity in trial, for never in the history of jurispru- dence was there a case where there was less show of reason for a conviction. But the resolution was urged on still higher grounds—namely, that the government of Spain utterly ignored the rights of this American citizen under our treaties. The case stood on the same rights as those of an American merchant vessel fired upon by Spain on the high seas. At the request of Mr. .Morgan the Allen resolution was referred to the committee ; on foreign relations. the assurance being given that it would receive Speedy consid- eration. The Sanguilly resolution than was brought directly before the senate. ' - Daniel's Strong \Vorfis. i l and brutally. The 'manncr of his treat- ment was a. disgrace to this civilization. “Our representative \in Cuba has been arrogantly insulted by the Spanish author- ities.” exclaimed Mr. Daniel, “and this country has been insulted by the Spanish authorities. I have been told by a. high Spanish authority that the presentation of the Sanguilly case was a disgrace to the United States and to the American flag. If a fleet of the United States had been sent to redress that ,insult, it would have been sustained by every citizen of our country.” Thereiwas intense interest through the senate and in the galleries as Mr. Daniel’s Words rang through the chamber. It was but the prelude, however, to a most'dra- matic incident. ‘ Mr. Daniel said enough diplomatic red tape had been spun on this case to build a cable from the United States to Spain and enough ink for an ocean in which to lay the cable. BUTLER WANTS DELAY. ‘ Case of Accused Murderer May Go to the . United States Supreme Court. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.—From present indications it will be months before the alleged murderer Butler leaves for Aus- tralia to stand his trial for the crimes charged against him. Butler, it is said, is now determined to fight his extradition to the bitter end, and if Commissioner Heacock decides against him he will ap- peal to the United States supreme court. “I have,” said Butler today, “through my attorneys cabled to a bank in Sydney, where I have funds, for £1,000 to pay my attorneys for carrying the case to the supreme court, and I want all the money I can to help me in that direction. I am writing a book of my life, in accordance with a. contract with a publisher, and I will get 40 per cent of the profits. “1 am not fighting my extradition be- cause I am afraid to go back to Sydney to stand my trial, as I know they can’t prove anything against me,” continued Butler. “If I committed the murder, would I have lived Openly in Sydney before sailing on the Swanhilda? I have made blunders, I confess, but that can’t be helped now. I am going to fight my extradition to the bitter end because I know that I am inno- cent, and I don’t want to be dragged back to Australia asa murderer.” McKinley Thanks Bushnell. COLUMBUS, 0., Feb. [26. — Governor Bushnell said today that he had received a letter from President Elect McKinley thanking him for the appointment of Mark Hanna to succeed Mr. Sherman in the sen- ' ate which he has promised to make.

Kerr Held Up In the Streets of the Metropolis. HE'SWAS ROBBED or $2,700. and Many Detectives Have Been Sent Out to Run Down the Bandits, “’ho Easily Escaped. and robbery in a crowded and well lighted thoroughfare is puzzling Captain O’Brien and his corps of detectives, and secrecy is being observed in connection with the case. The victim on this occasion is Joseph H. Kerr, a member of the Century Wheel.- men, and whose home is at 503 Florida avenue, N. W., Washington. The amount which he claims to have been robbed of foots up to $2,700, and the robbery was effected in the most daring manner possi- file. ' Mr. Kerr has been in the city only a few days, and, according to his story, as given out by the police after close questioning, he was walking along Twenty-sixth street, between Sixth avenue and Broadway,when he was set upon by two highwaymen. He had no knowledge of their p‘esence, he says, until he found himself suddenly seized from behind. Then, while one of the men placed a hand over his mouth to stifle his cries, the other seized a wallet from the inside pocket of his coat, which contained the $2,700. There were in the wallet, he says, 22 bills of $100 denomination, 10 $50 bills and some loose change. He wore a. valuable pin and watch, but the highwaymen made no attempt to steal these articles. Having secured the wallet, they ran away and were quickly lost in the crowd. For a moment or so, according to the story, Kerr was too dazed to do anything. On gathering his senses [he made his way to the West Thirtieth Street police station and started to tell the sergeant in charge all about his loss. The sergeant would not allow him to speak in the presence of the newspaper men who happened to be present, so Kerr was taken into an inside room. There he was brought face to face with Inspector Harley, and the latter questioned the Washingt0< nian at great length. Ward Detective Welch was then called in, and after half an hour’s conversation the latter took Kerr away with him. At 11 :30 o’clock the detective appeared with Kerr at police headquarters, from which place a general alarm was sent out to all precincts for the apprehension of the two men who committed the rob- bery, and whose descriptions were given as well as Kerr was able to remember their appearance. Detectives at Work. Word was also sent to Captain O’Brien at his home, and by his direction half a dozen detectives were detailed for the case. They worked on it all last night, but up to now they had not succeeded in making any arrests. ' The cabman who brought Ward Men he had picked up the two men outside a well known concert hall on Eighth ave« nue, which on several occasions has en- gaged the attention of the police. The sup- position was that Kerr, instead of having been robbed in Twenty-sixth street, as stated, had lost his money in one of the concert balls on Eighth or Seventh avenue, and that Welch, after l~ ring his story, had brought him aroun 0 these places to see if he could recognize them. . A reporter called at the concert hall on Eighth avenue out of which the cabman claimed he had taken the detective and Kerr. All knowledge of their visit was denied. It was also denied that any rob- bery had taken place there. “If that man did lose $2,700,” the man- ager said, “he deserved to lose it for bring- ing so much into a concert garden. ” The sergeant at the desk in the West Thirtieth Street station said that he had positive orders not to give any particulars of the robbery to the newspapers, and that all queries should be addressed to Captain O’Brien. When the head of the detective bureau was questioned, he said he did not know where Kerr was at present stopping or whether he was in the city or not. “I expect to have something more defi- nite later in the day,” he said. “At pres- ent I have nothing further to give out. ” At the very time the hold up is alleged to have taken place on Twentycsixth street Inspector Harley and a. number of head- quarters detectives were raiding an alleged gambling den at the other side of the block on Twenty-seventh street. Other detect- ives and policemen were plentifully scat- tered in the vicinity. Whisky Dealers Pool Prices.

Two French Kings. A story about Louis IX. is that when his jailer, the Sultan Of Egypt, was murdered by one of his, own men the assassin rushed into the King’s tent and cried: “How much wilt thou give me for having killed thy enemy?” Louis made no offer, and then the bloody sword was pointed at his own breast. “Choose; die or make me a knight.” "Become a. Christian.” calmly replied the King, “and I shall make thee a. knight.” The man was awed and fled. Louis XI. has his share of notice, and of him we have the well-known anec- dote which Scott has turned to such good account in “Quentin Durward.” Louis was about to kill his astrologer. but that wily ofiicer of the household got wind of the design. The King sum- moned him as for an ordinary consul- tation, and asked him to foretell the date of his own death. “I shall die three days before your majesty,” he re‘ plied. The- execution was postponed. To See Him Swaller Some More.
