Washington, Feb. 10.—-—‘The resolution . offered by Mr. Cannon (Utah) Tuesday urging the President to nofify Span that if it fail to recognize the indepen— dence beforeAMaIrch 4 next, this Govern- lment would then recognize the bellig- . erent rights of the Cubans, and ninety days thereafter assert the independence 'of the Cuban Republic. was laid before the‘Senate yesterday, and Mr. was recognized to speak on the resolu— tion.‘ In opening his speech he read from a New York paper a statement, in effect, that the} speeches to be delivered yes- terday would “amount to more talk, and that nothing more harmful than talk would result from the present agi- tation of the Cuban question in the Senate.” Mr. Cannon said that it was not his purpose—not the purpose of those who believe with him—to disturb in any way the peace and welfare of the people of the United States. He did not, he said, desire to reflect unnec- . essarly upon the policy of the Presi- dent; but there was a phase of the question, in the opinion of Mr Can— non, raised by the newspaper article to which he had referred which ought to be considered. By what authority, he asked did anv public journal assert that nothing more substantial and effective than talk would result from the discussion of the Cuban question in Congress? “Has some concerted plan been ar- ranged,” he asked, “by the carrying into effect of which the will of the peo- ple in this country is to be undone? llIr. Cannon’s Result. “I want to say,” said Mr. Cannon, “that something more harmful than talk will result from the discussion of the Cuban question by Congress. Those results will strike me nin Congress and ,men in high places in the Administra— tion. We have been told that a policy in the treatment of this Cuban ques- tion was to be inaugurated that would startle the country, but that policy has War,” continued Mr. Cannon, “is ended in Cuba. The war that there existed has developed into a brutal contest of hunger." Spain, he thought, had not the cour- age to pursue its operations against the patriots in the field. The Government of Madrid was bankrupt, her greatest statesman had passed away, and in the conduct of the Cuban war she had adopted a policy to subdue her enemies by bribery and starvation. Should the efforts of Spain succeed the result would be to saddle upon the people of Cuba the enormous debt of $400,000,000, a debt that has to a great extent been incurred in the vain effort to subdue the spirit of liberty manifest- ed by the Cuban patriots. After some discussion of the general features of the Cuban question. Mr. Mr. Hale, following ‘Mr.Cannon, de- purpose of the Administration is in Spanish bondholders, and before peace is sécured‘in Cuba, security for the payment of that tremendous-debt must That, I say, appears to be the wish of the Administration, and I may say, of Spain. ” llIr. Hale’s Reply. Mr. Hale, following Mr. Cannon, de- clared that the various resolutions Were all for the purpose of driving the Ad- ministration into a. position different _ from its policy and involving the coun- try in serious difficulties. Mr. Hale said that the Administration has already done much, and had se- cured the release of every American citizen from prison in Cuba. The Pres- ident had also secured the removal of Weyler and his replacement by a more humane commander. In the House Mr. Sulzer attempted to secure recognition for the introduction of a resolution which, after recit- ting the contents of a letter alleged to have been written by Senor Dupuy de Lorne, and after saying that the let— ter was an insult to this country, de- clared it to be the sense of the House that the Spanish Minister be given his passports and sent home in disgrace. He was cut off by a. demand for the regular order. Torpedo Boat Ordered to Havana. Washington, Feb. 10.—-Orders have been sent to Captain Sampson, in com- mand of the North Atlantic squadron off Key West, to send the torpedo boat Cushing to Havana with stores for the use of the Maine. She will leave in a day or two and will return as soon as th estores are delivered. Against Allen Amendment. Washington, Feb. 10.——The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations yes- terday decided to .make an adverse re- port upon ‘the proposition advanced by Senator Allen to‘amend the Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation bill so as to recognize the belligerency of the Cuban insurgents. The action of the committee was the result of a motion by Senator Morgan, who said that ap- .propriation bills were not proper vehi- cles for legislation bearing upon for- eign questions. The \ote of the com- mittee was unanimous. The Cuban Customs Tarifl‘. London, Feb. 10.—The Madrid corre- spondent of the Times says: “The government protests that it has no in— tention to tamper with the Cuban cus- toms tariff in order to benefit Spain or injure foreign powers. On the con- trary, it recognizes the importance. and Will heartily co-operate in the develop- ment of commerce between the United States and Cuba. The official relations between the United States and Spain are said to be cordial, and to give no cause for anxiety." Hold Our Yukon Reindeer.

United States Assistant Military Sec» 'the letter was written by Senor de .Lome, does not act, then the President being satisfied that the letter. is genu- ine, will hand the Minister his pass ports. If the President, being assured that Senor ~De Lome wrote the letter, de- sired to declare that Spanish Minister persona non grata he could do so at once,a and give him his passoprts. The precedent in the case was set by Pres- ident Cleveland, when he dismissed Lord Sackville-West. At that time, on the day the letter from the British Minister to a. British subject in Cali- fornia, advising him how to vote in' the PreSdential election, was printed. the Minister was summoned to the State Department and asked as to its genuineness. He admitted that he had written it, but said that it was a pri- vate letter and not intended for pub- lication. President 'Cleveland did not wait for the British Government to act, but handed Lord ,Sackville-Wesl his passports. A Difl‘ergnt Case. The circumstances are different now The political exigencies demanded prompt action with the Britishl Minis- ter ,and there was no strained relations between the two countries. Now hasty action might have disastrous results Therefore, the President has concluded to allow the Government at Madrid every opportunity to rebuke or recall the Spanish Minister, and until Minis- ter De Lorne either affirms 01 denies the letter, the State Department 1111. wait for some word from the American Minister at Madrid. Althought the Spanish Minister re- fuses to deny or affirm the 1etter, the general opinion in Washington is that it is genuine. Persons familiar with the handwriting of the Minister, and his style of expression, declare that it it is a forgery it is a most clever one At first there was a. feeling” that the letter could not be genuine, and everv one expected the Minister to repudiate it in the most emphatic way. But his refusal to do so, and the action of the State Department in following his ex- ample in lefusing to talk, has strength- ened the opinion that the letter was written by the Minister, and that he will have to stand the cmxs'equences. At the time the letter was supposed to have been written, Senor de Lorne and Senor Canalejas were great friends. The latter had just visited the United 3 State and was then 311 Cuba. The Pres- ident had sent his message to Congress and the Minister, it is supposed, was- giving his views on that message and the situation in this country to a dear friend in a. free and confidential man- ner. Since that time, there seems to have been a. difference between the Spanish Minister and Senor Canalejas which may have changed the relations between the two and there is con- siderable gossip in Washington as to how the letter fell into the hands of the Cuban Junta. Secretary of State John Sherman made the following statement to a. re- porter: , “I do not believe the letter is a gen uine one. I know Senor Dupuy de Lorne very well. He is a nice man and a good diplomat, and I do not believe he could possibly have committed the grave mistake of writing such a docu. ment. I have seen many of his letters. and this does not read like them.” When asked if, in case the letter should prove to be genuine, the fact that it was written to a personal friend and fellow countryman residing out 01 the United States, would render it a privileged communication and would lessen the Minister’s responsibility, the Secretary Said: “No; if he wrote that letter, he will undoubtedly be held to a strict account by our Government for it.” A close personal friend of the Span- ish Minister, 3. man who has for years been in his confidence, informed some of the officials of the State Department yesterday that there was no doubt that the letter is genuine. “A new Spanish Minister,” he added, “will be ordered to Washington within a week, and there the incident will end." Possible Action by Congress. Congressmen and Senators, however, 'who are known to be friendly to the Cuban cause do not take this view of it They say that this act of the Spanish Minister will so incense Congress that no matter how much the President may desire to give autonomy a. further trial he will not be able to prevent Congress from taking positive action. Nearly every public man who called at the White House expressed himseli in favor of some sort of summary ac- tion on the part of the United States to show its resentment of the attack or. the President. Veiled Threat by Sagasta. Havana, Feb. 10.——Cab1e dispatches from Madrid say that Premier Sagasta declared that the greatest sincerity ex- itss in the relations between Spain and the United States, the two nations hav ing never been so friendly to each othe1 as they are now. The Premier added however, that if a change should occur the Cabinet would energetically main- tain Spain’s rights. NEW YORK'S MURDER MYSTERY. Man Found in the East River Had Foughi for Life---\Vas Choked to Death. New York, Feb. 10.—-The result of the autopsy yesterday upon the dismem- bered body found in the East River showed that the man was choked tc death and made a hard struggle f01 life. The indications are also that the murderer placed his knee, on the chest of the murdered man, because the breast bone was broken, every rib is fractured and the spinal column. is broken. The life and death struggle must have been awful in its despera- tion. A bullet hole was found, but no bullet. The experts at the autopsy advance the opinion that the 'man was murdered on board ship and the hacked trunk. thrown overboard. It is now stated that he had been dead three or four days. A man, concealed by the police, claims that the dismembered body was that of his friend. This mysterious alleged iden- tifier, who appears to be a sailor, is closely watéhed by detectives at Police Headquarters, and is not allowed to talk to anybody. - ' Francis 'W. H. Tupper, who keeps a restaurant in Broadway, positively identified the body' as that of Alfred Nelson, a former waiter of his. H‘e says Ne] on was just the man to get into trouble and be killed as he “as vain of his‘ own strength and an asso-_ ciatemf low women. v whose identity is carefully 'writing, Was the letter his own.

That the EnvoyWVa: Ber-om Non GratauState Departinent’i Promp Action. Washington, Feb. 10.—Senor Enriqm Dupuy de Lome has cabled his resigna tion to Madrid as Minister Plenipoten- tiary and Envoy Extraordinary to the United States. De Lome’s action was in anticipation of his recall, which he knew to be inevitable after the publil caton of hs criticism of President Bic Kinley and his blunder in writing statt secrets. The State Department in Washingtoi already had sent a dispatch througl Minister'Woodford informing the Sa- gasta Ministry that Senor D Lome was persona non grata. So far as known In reply has been received from Madrid acknowledging De Lome’s solution 01 the frightful dilemma in which he finds himself plunged. Literally speaking, a member of the diplomatic service un der 3. European Government ,does no‘: resign. His request for recall is a res- ignation of the postiion to which he has been assigned, but it does not separate him from the corps, to which he be- longs for life. When Lord Sackville was recalled under the Cleveland ad ministration, he remained on the rolls of the Foreign Office, but he never af terward received a mission. The story of De Lome’s resignation i: obtaned from diplomatic sources. It i: currently believed among all the 11cm bers of the Diplomatic Corps. It is agreed to be all that De Lorne can do t- save himself fromefurtliei mortification ,and to protect his Gov- ernment from the dangers of Americar resentment.

This Department has communicated with General W'ood ford on the subject. Until that com. munication reaches the Spanish Gov“ ernmen tit would be improper to, in any manner, state the contents of the lettei to General VVoodford.” Washington, Feb. 10.-—The publicatior of the alleged letter from .Minister De Lome to Senor Canaleajs created a sen sation in Washington. This was in- creased by' the positive refusal of Sen- ator de Lome to deny or afiirm thl genuineness of the letter, on to discus: it in any way. He had but one answer to all callers, and that was that he could not and would not talk. At the. VVhie House th ePresident, of course, would not be seen in'regard to the letter. Judge Day at the State De partment admitted the newspaper mer to his office yesterday, after having spent the good part of the morning with the President, and in his most di’p- lomatic way announced that the Stati Department, in the absence of any in- formation in regard to the alleged let- ter, declined to discuss-it. He added that he thought the De. partment'should investigate the gcnu ineness of the letter before its official: acted in the matter. When questionec as to what course would be taken to find out if the Spanish Minister has written the letter, the Assistant Sec retary merely stated that would de velop later. The President early yesterday morn ing summoned Judge Day to the White House, and the letter was discusses until noon. The President refused him- self to all callers. Afte'r Assistant Sec retary Day departed, Attorney-Genera.- Griggs came over to the White Hous1 from the Department of Justice, an: the President and his legal advise. were closeted for some time. ‘ At the State Department there wai. » considerable suppressed excitement and a busy reviewing of precedent: took place. Among the callers was Siz Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambas sador, but, of course, his busness was not in relation to this mattei. - As stated, Assistant Secretary Day refused to make any statement, but in- timated that there might be develop- ments. Minister De Lome did not cal at the Department. The President’s Course. The position of th’b President is mos. delicate. In the absence of proof as ft the genuineness of the letter, he ha: decided to proceed mostficautiously 11 th matter, and it is understood that the first steps toward authenticating, the epistle will be to inform Ministei Woodford of its publication in this country, and ask him to lay the matte-1' before ‘the Foreign Office at Madrid It is then expected that the Spaniel: Government will inqure of Senor De Lome, if it has not already done so. am: notify General “’codford as to the re sult of the inquiry. This Government _will not treat witl‘ Minister De Lome himself, I)le(’.l‘l‘il‘l§ Spain the opportunity. if the letter is genuine, to recall her Minis ter, and close a most unpleasant incl dent.

[170 Companies Will Be Sent to Preserve Order in Dyea and Skag‘uuy. Washington, Feb. 9.—At the Cabinet meeting yesterday it was decided to send two companies of troops to- -Dyea and Skaguay, Alaska, immediately to preserve Cider and protect life and property. Advices to the Government state that the rush to the gold fields has attracted. hundreds of the lawless element, and that troops are necessary at once to prevent trouble. - To Aid Canadian Miners. Ottawa Ont., Feb. 9.—An important conference was held here between gov- ernmental representatives of the Toron- to, Montreal and Vancouver Boards" of Trade, with the object in view of de- vising methods to assist Canadian min- ers entering the Yukon by way of Tai- ya and Skaguay to pass the American customs. In order to obviate the ne- cessity of these miners recrossing the passes to Skaguay or Taiya. to secure a refunding of the duty, as provided by the Washington regulations issued last week, the Canadian__customs officer at Tagish will pay to the miners the amounts of duty with which they have been charged and then collect these sums from the American customs of- ficers at the port of entry. Shipment of Miner’s Outfits. San Francisco, 0211., Feb. 9.—The Treasury Department has advised the Collector of the Port to the effect that shipments of miners’ outfits from the 'United States to Victoria in American vessels for trans-shipment to Alaska in ‘ British bottoms would violate the laws regulating the coasting trade. This matter has been decided by the Fed- eral courts in similar cases. The Laurada for Alaska. Seattle, Wash, Feb. 9.-—The Boston and Alaska Transportation Company announces that they have purchased in New York the steamship Laurada, which was, until her seizure by the Government recently, engaged in fili- bustering between New York .Cuba.‘ The Laurada will be placed on the Alaska run from this city. ‘ 2 Canada Won’t Admit Troops. Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 9.——The Dominion Government has decided not to permit the United States Government to send troops through Canadian territory into the Yukon country along with the pro- posed relief expedition. It is generally believed here that the expedition has been abandoned. THE QUEEN’S SPEECH. No Allusion to the Situation in the Far East---Hope for Ireland. ‘ London, Feb. 9.—The fourth session . of the fourteenth Parliament of Queen Victoria and the twenty— —sixth of the i United Kingdom was opened, by commision, at 2 o ’clock yesterday with i the customary ceremonies. Two things are made plain in the Queen’s speech, which was read in the chamber of the 1 House of Lords. One is that the Eastern qustion is not settled, and that ‘ there are no negotiations in sight the ‘ outcome of which can be foreshadowed; the second is that there will surely be some legislation for Ireland, passed in the coming session. The speech opens with the stereo- typed declarations that Great Britain's relations with the other powers con— tinue friendly. It continues: “The question-10f an autonomous gov- ernment for the island of Crete has oc- cupied the attention of the powers. The difficulty of arranging a unanimous agreement on some points has unduly protracted the deliberations. but I hope that these obstacles will before long be surmounted.” The speech then enumerated the va— rious measures that will be introduced in Parliament, the first being a. “sys- tem of local government for Ireland, substantially similar to that estab- in Great Britain.” Thereafter follow measures for increasing the strength and efficiency of the army, creating municipaities in London, and other measures of internal legislation. Supreme Court at the \Vhilte' House. and Mrs. McKinley entertained the members of the Supreme Court bench of the United States at dinner to-night. It was a dinner of seventy covers, and the table was laid in the red corridor, whereas the ordinary custom of former Presidents has been to make this din- ner the smallest one of the series of State dinners and to have it in the State dining room. . The dinner was as brilliant and“ the arrangements as per- fect as when the diplomats were en- tertained or as when President Dole and his wife were guests of honor.

Man Found In East River, New Yolk. . New Ymk, Feb. 9.—The police of this 3113' 11211 9 another murder mystei inravel. which appears from the outset to be almost equal in horrible detail to I that of the Guldensuppe murder. Yes- terday morning shortly afterzlo o’clock lhe mutilated and nude'body of a man was found floating in the East River. Nearly the entire front portion of the head was missing, the only part of It left being the right ear and a small portion of the back extending up as far as the lower part of the crown. This portion of the head was covered with a thin growth of ‘sandy colored hair. The left' leg was missing from a. point just below the knee and the right leg was out off above the hip. Both arms were missing. They had been cut off at the shoulders.‘ The body had the appearance of hav- A’ng been in the water at least a. week 1nd probably mor The cuts were so :lean and smooth that it precluded the possibility of the missing members having been‘ttaken off by the paddle wheels of a boat. That they were cut off the police are firmly of the belief, and other marks about the body indi— cats that the man was murdered and iorribly butchered. The neck was undisturbed by the knife which had severed the other members, and around it was a regular mark about half an inch. which indi— zated that the man was first strangled with a rope. On the portion of the ‘eft leg remaining on the body are three sharp 'cuts about four inches long, which look like the slashes of a Knife, and near them is a wound which topears to be a stab with a. triangular mife. From appearances, the man in life, was about five feet eight inches tall, With broad shoulders and muscular body. On this, the police based the opinion that the man had been a la— borer, and, from the nature of the pe- auliar stab wound on the leg, which resembles. that of a stilletto, it is thought that he was an Italian. In the Guldensuppe case the police had oilcloth and. other things upon Which to take up clews, but in the present instance there is not a single irticle found upon which to work, ex- cept the bane trunk of the murdered nan. , All portions of the city inhabited by italians will be carefully canvassed on the theory that it was'the work of the Mafia or some organized band. It is coped that some mark may be found which may lead to the identification. MURDERESS CONFESSES. Insane With Jealousy, Mrs. Place Admit! She Murdered Her Step-Daughter. New York, Feb. 9.-—Mrs. Martha. Place, who killed her step-daughter Monday, who tried to kill her husband, William W. Place, Monday evening, and who then, turning on the.gas in ner room, lay down as though she in- tended to commit. suicide, was well enough yesterday to be taken from St. Mary’ 5 Hospital to her home on Han- :ock street Prookl}, n, by Police Cap- tain Ennis, and confronted with the body of her step—daughter. W'hen she was led up to the body she fell upon her knees and cried: “My God! I did it ” ~ The body of the slain girl lay on a. oier near thewindow in the room in which she was murdered, when Mrs. Place was'brought in. A sheet cov- ered the prostrate figure. Suddenly Captain Ennis stepped forward and, with a dexterous movement, drew the lheet clear of the still figure. The oody of the girl, clad in a night gown, vas revealed to view. Her face—hid, zously scarred with burns from the told—was turned toward the window. “Take me away! Take me away!" Mrs. Place screamed, clasping her mands. The woman, reeling andfaint, was led into another room. There she nade this statement to Police Captain Ennis: “i admit that I killed my stepdaugh- :er and that I struck my husband with :he axe. I choked my daughter and ntended to kill the man. That’s all i've got to say. I won't tell why I wanted to kill them." When Mrs. Martha. Place was arrign- ad in the Gates Avenue Police Court in :he afternoon she cried widly: “I did it, I did it!” and time dropped to the floor unconscious. She was carried to [II adjoining room where she was re- lived with much difficulty. She was aeld by Magistrate Worth on three :harges—murder in the first degree; fe- lonious asault; and attempted suicide. Immediately after she was taken back 20 the Ralph avenue station, where an- other attempt was made. to get a de— :ailed statement from her. All she voud say at the station house was that zhe wanted her adopted son brought to the Hancok stret houseand that her 1usband had refused to do so. That. she said, was the cause of most of the 'amin. trouble. NeWsu'xi'esias. Eleven people were burned in a‘ fire 11 nlbany yesterday; two of them seri- msly.
