And Then His Successor, Lieutenant Gov- ‘ernor Jones, “’ill Appoint ,Him to the Vacant Chair—Hanna to Fight For the Long Term. CINCINNATI, Feb. 1. —Julius Chambers, the special correspondent of the New York Journal, sends the following dispatch to that paper: “After several days spent in visiting Cleveland, Columbus and this city I am able, on the very highest authority, to give the complete solution of the Ohio situa- tion, so called, as created by the practical— ly extort-ed promise from John Sherman to withdraw from the United States senate- and the previously conceived intention of Marcus A. Hanna to secure his place. “Out of this state of things has arisen a contention that is absurdly awkward, be- cause the vacancy has not yet been made, and Governor Bushnell is being badgcred from Washington, and by every influence that the next administration can bring to bear to state his position. He has sturdily refused, but it can be accurately told, and will be here stated for the first time. \Vhat Bushnell W'ill Do. ~ “On authority that is unimpeachable I am1 able to state: “Fir st -——Go1ernor Bushnell will not ap- point MarcusAl-mzo Hanna to fill the seat in the senate made 1 aca'nt wl; -en John Sherman resigns. “Second. ——A special session of the Ohio legislature will not be called. The 1eas0ns for this are many. The chief one is that Bushnell wants the seat in the senate him- self. ' “Third—When the resignation of Sen- ator Sherman is received, Governor Asa S. Bushnell will resign, Lieutenant Gov- ernor Asa W. Jones will become chief ex: c‘cutive and will promptly appoint his pre— decessor'to the vacant seat in the senate. This is the programme, and it will be car- ried out to the letter. “Fourth. ——-Maj01 McKinley will be pri- vately informed of the governor‘ s inten- tion within the next .‘2-l 110111 s, as no desire is felt to embarrass the p111s1dcnt elect by delayingthe completion of his cabinet, and it is assumed that Mr. Hanna, failing in his senato1i1 11 aspirations, will be prompt- ly made 0111 of Major McKinlev’ 5 official household. W hat the place will be is only surmise, but the best Cleveland opinion is that he will be made postmaster general. “Thus will the Ohio situation be finally solved, Mr. Hanna formally announcing himself as a candidate .for the long term and entering the field as a factor in me choice of members in the next legislature. ” The Next Battle. Mr. Chambers then gives a long inter— view with a prominent citizen of this city, in which is embodied the history of the McKinley-Foraker feud, dating back to the latter’s defeat for governor and Mr. Hanna’s 1efus1 11 to keep ante— election pledges, and say s, refeiring to Mr. Han- na’ 5 fight in the next legislature for the long teim senatmship. “That it will be 11. money campaign is admitted on all sides and there are Re- publicans in Ohio who declare that the state will not be dishonored by the corrup- tion of voters in or out of the legislature.

CANTON, 0., Feb. 1.—Gcneral Collis of New York had a conference with Major McKinley yesterday. When seen by an Associated Press representative, General Collis said that his inte1vie1v with the president elect was a decidedly pleasant one. They liscussed many questions. but some features of their talk could not be quoted. General Collis said, in reference to the future policy of the administration, that it was Major McKinley’s sdesiie to lift the country out of its present limping, halting‘Eait and place it upon a firm busi- ness foundation, where it could hold .ts head erect and once more take its place at the head of the nations. He said it 11115 evident from Major MgKinley’s talk that it was hoped that a tariff measure which would restore confidence to the industries of the country would be passed by July 1 When asked if any talk had been had re- garding cabinet matters. General Collis declined to answer. Hon. James E Wilson of Iowa, when questioned afte1 he left the piesident elect was vely rot: cent, but it was not difficult to infer from his talk that he 1s more than a cabinet possibility and may accept t' .e agricultural portfolio. He said that the fact that an Illinois man is already in t 10 cabinet would not preclude a member (1f the official family from being chosen in his state or section of the country. NV: Wilson is professor of agricultural works in the Iowa Agricultural college and since 1891 has been director of the experimental station there. He is of Scotch birth, but has been a resident of 'Iowa for 41 years He was for six years amember of the Iowa legislature and served in the Forty-third, Forty-fourth and Forty-eighth congresses.

A Fearful Story of Spanish Atrocities In Stricken Cuba. KEY WEST, Feb. 1.—-A horrible story comes from Remedies. Near Placetas the insurgents had a large hospital, where were quartered sick and wounded soldiers. Near the insurgent camp was also located the well known leper hospital of Cardosa, in which were about 20 unfortunates. Guarding the insurgent hospital was a company of Cuban amazons, numbering about 70, under command of Senorita Inez Alvarez, whose father and brothers had been butchered by Spaniards and who had taken up arms for revenge. The hospital was a solitary location and was thought to be safe from Spanish mo- lestation. But a colonel of the Spanish regiment De Bourbona, operating in that district, learned of the hospital’s location and sent 500 men to destroy it. The Span- iards attacked at night and fired the build- ings- The inmates and amazon guards awoke to find flames roaring about them. The sick and wounded soldiers could not cs1:.ape but 10. amazons rushed out, only to be greeted by a 111,11rderous fire. Thea amazons fought bravely, but they were soon shot down. Many of them were oily wounded. but even these were butch— 11 except eight. whose peculiar beauty led the Spanish commander to order them saved for a fate worse than death. In the hospital there were more than 70 sick and wounded soldiers. six surgeons and ten nurses. Not- one of these escaped, and, including the amazons, nearly 150 people fell victims to Spanish thirst for slaughter. Returning. the Spaniards passed the leper hospital, which they set on fire, and nearly all the inmates perished in the flames. LOUISVILLE’S SCANDAL.
