_ CUBA NOW HURRY.
She Will Wait Until Congress Meets
' to Get Recognition.
AN IMPORTANT PREGEDENT.
Similar Condition of Afl'airs Existed Early
In the Century—Monroe Took the
' Bull by the Horns-Correspond- .
once In the Case.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—-Gonzales Dc
Quesada. secretary of the Cuban revolu-
tionary party, with headquarters in New
York, has been in Washington a few days
on private business. He did not see Secre-
tary Olney, nor Were any steps taken to-
ward securing the recognition of the Cu-
ban insurgents as belligerents.
The policy of the Cubans in seeking
recognition of the United States has been
outlined substantially as follows: No ap‘
plication will be made to the executive
branch of the government until congress
assembles. It is the feeling that ’even if
the executive authorities were disposed to
, GENERAL MAHONE DEAD.
TheWHero of the Crater” Passes Away
Quietly In Washington. ‘
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—General William
Mahone is dead. The end came peacefully
and almost imperceptibly. The dying man
had lain unconscious ever since last Sun-
day morning, taking no nourishment and
showing no sign of life beyond faint res.
plration. The doctors said yesterday that
death was surely approaching, and today
they told the family that death was near
at hand.
All the members of the family were
about the bedside when the end came, in.
cluding Mrs. Mahone, the two sons, But—
lot and William Mahone, Jr., Mrs. Mo«
Gill, 8. daughter, Mr. L. L. Maury of Vir-
ginia, a nephew. and Captain Rogers, an
old friend of the general and present chair-
man of the Virginia Republican commit-
tee.
The country will long remember Gen-
eral William Mahcne as one of the most
picturesque figures and characters in pub-
lic life during the last 30 years. Excep-
tionally slight in stature and frame, he
. has been a marked man in great assem-
- hinges. His peculiar style'of dress, and
recognize the Cubans the action Would in- ,
volve such grave responsibility that the
executive branch would desire to have the
co-operation and support of congress. Care ,
will be taken, also. to see that there is
uniformity in the steps proposed to con-
gress. In this way the mistakes made at
the time of the last Cuban uprising will
be avoided. At that time there were no
fewer than 40 different Cuban resolutions
referred to the house committee on foreign
and many other plans, all intended to
favor Cuba. In the end this diversity of
proposals prevented an agreement on any
one course.
In connection with the probable pres-
sntationof the subject to congress and
the executive branch an interesting prec.
edent has been found in the archives of
the state department. It involves the rec-
ognition by President Monroe of the South
and Central American republics when
they broke away from Spain. '
Interesting Correspondence.
The Spanish minister at Washington
made the most urgent protest, to which
John Quincy Adams, secretary of state,
replied, stating the policy of this govern-
ment in giving recognition. The propo-
sitions then advanced by Spain and the
replies made by the United States are said
to be exactly parallel in the statements of
facts to the status of the Cuban affair to-
day.
President Monroe sent a message to
congress in March, 1822, in which he prol”
posed the recognition of the insurgent
governments in Spanish America, as then
designated, and including Mexico, Peru,
Chile, Colombia, Brazil and other coun-
tries. On March 9, 1822, Senor Anduaga,
the Spanish minister, addressed a. letter
to Secretary Adams expressing his aston-
lshment at the course of the president.
After reciting many acts of kindness Spain
had done for the United States the min
later said: .
“But even admitting that morality
ought to yield to policy, what is the pres
ent state of Spanish America and what
are its governments to entitle them to
recognition? Buenos Ayres is sunk in the
most complete anarchy, and each day sees
new despots produced'who disappear the
next. Peru, conquered by a rebel army,
has near the gates of its capital a Spanish
army. In Chile an individual suppresses
the sentiments 'of the people. On the coast
of Firms. also the Spanish banners wave.
The insurgent generals everywhere are
occupied with quarrels among themselves.
In Mexico there is no government. Where,
then, are the governments which ought to
be recognized?” ‘
Secretary Adams’ 'Besponse.
Secretary Adams’ answer was dated
April 6, 1822. He said heat once laid the
Spanish minister’s letter before thepresi~
dent. The latter desired the friendliest
relations with Spain. But in recognizing
the southern countries the president had
been governed by facts, which, Mr. Adams
pointed out, were difl’erent from the facts
set forth by the minister. Mr. Adams
laid down the general principles governing
the recognition of the new countries. One
is the principle of right, the other the
prihciple of fact. The secretary said that
the United States had carefully refrained
from taking any part in the outbreak and
had maintained a most impartial neutral-
ity. But the contestants have set up their
own governmentaand have successfully
resisted Spain: mesa are conditions of
fact, and they were such as to entitle the
insurgent countries to recognition. Mr.
Adams said: =
“The government of the United States, '
far from counseling the dictation of a pol-
icy questionable in its morality, has yield-
ed to an obligation of duty of the highest
order by recognizing as independent states
nations which, after deliberately asserting
their right to that character, have main—
tained and established it against all the
resistance brought to oppose it. This is
the mere acknowledgment of existing
facts with a view to the regular establish-
ment with the nations newly formed of
these relations, political and commercial,
which it is the moral obligation of civi-
lized and Christian nations to entertain
reciprocally with each other.”

Wasnmeron, Oct. 9.-—The charges

Mr. Miller’s office, and as soon as they
have been transcribed an agent of “the

GENERAL MAHONE.
had joined the Confederate army at once
after the secession, participated in the
capture of the Norfolk navy yard in 1861
and raised and commanded the Sixth regi-
ment of Virginia. He was commissioned
a brigadier general in March, 1864, and
six months later became a major general.
At the close of the war he returned to his
original work of engineering and became
president of the Norfolk and Tennessee
railroad.
He was elected to the United States sen-
ate in 1879 and was’like a firebrend cast
into a mass of dry tinder. From the pe-
culiar attitude that he at once assumed he
caused one of the most bitter controver-
ales and stubborn deadlocks ever known
in the history of that body._
Mahone at last acted with the Republic-
ans and gave them the organization of the
senate. The federal patronage in Virginia
was turned over to him. He served in the
senate until 1887, when‘hc was defeated.

stantly in this city, be retained the Repub-
lican leadership in Virginia and in 1890

WILCKEtSililPRlSED. ‘
His Arrest Was Brought About by
Letters to Mrs. Fleming.
Ar ones RELEASED ON BAIL
Sensational Rumors Promptly Denied.
Wilckes Had Never Consulted a Pro-
fessor About Poison—Mrs. Flem-
ing’s Strange Dream.
NEW YORK. Oct. 9.—-The arrest of Fer~
Iinand Wilckes as a witness and his release
in $2, 500 bail are the last develcpments
in the case of Mrs. Mary Alice L. Flem-
ing, now in the Tombs awaiting trial on
a charge of having poisoned her mother,
Mrs. Evelyn M. Bliss.
Wilckes is 28 years of age, lives at 217
East Fifty-first street and has an office
with his father, Joseph Wilckes, at 8 John
street, on the third ficwr. On the office
door the business of Joseph Wilckes is
thus set out: “Watch mainsprings. ma-
terials and tools. Paris, Chaux-de-Fonds;
London, Cologne-on-the~Rhine.” Joseph
Wilckes is said to be wealthy and to have
been at his present office address two
years. ,
Ferdinand Wilckes is about 5 feet 11
inches tall, slim, but ‘well built, a pro-
nounced blond, has pcmpadour hair, deep
set, small blue eyes, clear, pale complex-
.ion and Wears a small, light colored mus-
tache. He dresses well, but not extrava-
gantly. His manner is prepossessing and
his language is tinged with a French ac-
cent. He is said to be a native of Switzer-
land.
A reportcr met him as he was opening
his mailbox at the foot of his office stairs
today. In answer to a request for a state-
ment concerning his arrest Mr. Wilckes
said that by the orders of his lawyers,
Sohnitzer‘, Meyer & Phillopean of the
Equitable building, he must decline to
say anything about the case at present.
His lawyers also refuse to answer any
questions or make anyistatement, beyond
that their client was",; t arrested on Sat-
urday, nor had he beef kept in the house
of detention, as had b, 11 stated.
Wilckes was arrostcdnby Acting Inspect-
or of Police McCullagh and was released
on ball by Judge Allison in the court of
general sessions. Philip Freund of 218
West Fifty-third street and Ignatz Schultz
of 826 East Seventy-ninth street qualified
as Wilckes’ bondsmen.
Cause of -\Vilckes’ Arrest.
The greatest secrecy was observed5 by
the police about Wilckes’ arrest, and it
'was not till late in tlieifday that the facts
leaked out. The cause of Wilckes’ arrest
is sure to have arisen from the fact that
when Mrs. Fleming’s apartments in the
Colonial hotel, at Eighth avenue and One
Hundred and Twenty~fifth street, ‘were
searched many letters sent her by Wilckes
were found, some of which, it is alleged,
referring to trouble between Mrs. Fleming
and her mother. Since the finding of
these letters Wilckes has been closely
shadowed by the police, and they claim to
have ascertained that Wilckes and Mrs.
Fleming were exceedingly intimate. A
rumor also came to the police that Wilckes
had talked several times about poisons
with Professor Doremus of the College of
the City of New York. This rumor was
traced to young Henry Bliss, it is alleged,
who is the son of the dead woman and
holds the position of assistant librarian to
the college.
When Acting Chief of Police Conlin
heard reports that Wilckes was preparing
to leave New York, his arrest was ordered.
Professor Doremusdenies that Wilckes
ever talked about poisons with him or
that he ever saw or heard cf him. He says
there must be a mistake somewhere.
Mrs. Fleming denounces the arrest of
Wilckes as outrageous and claims that
the police are annoying her by sending
representatives to trap her.
Mrs. Fleming’s Dream.
Mrs. Fleming said that in a dream she
saw Acting Police Inspector McCullagh in
her room in the Colonial hotel, sprinkling
poisonous powders over the floor, then
calling a man who dropped still more
deadly poisons on the carpet and cried:
”Antimony! Arsenic!”
Acting Inspector McCullagh told a re-
porter there was nothing new that he
could add in connection with what was
given out in the arrest of Ferdinand
Wilckes.
