wheeling into line with their for-

concern their industrial prosperi-

earliest opportunity will seek the
co-operation of the leading nations
in the coinage of silver and will,
meantime, aim to maintain integ

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
The Subject at a Cuban Cab-
inet Meeting.
New York, Feb. 1.—A special
to the World from Havana says:
A cable dispatch from Madrid
reports that the Spanish minister
of foreign affairs, Senor L. Dugan,
and United States Minister Tay-
lor, have held a conference re-
garding tue report of the United
States foreign affairs committee
respecting Cuban belligerency,
and after the conference Minister
Minister L. Dngan called on Pre-
mier Canovas aud had a long con-
sultation. Both maintain strict
silence on the subject, but it is
stated that the Spanish cabinet is
gratified with tne resolve.
Another Madrid dispatch re-
ports that at a meeting of the cab-
inet, the queen regent presiding,
the action of the American sen-
ate's foreign affairs committee
was the main subject of discus-
cussion.
Premier Canovas does not at-
tach any importance to the com-
mittee's report, it is asserted, bat
says the committee has merely
expressed the personal views of
its members.

Washington, Feb. 1. — The
senate opened at 11 o'clock today
with a speech from the venerable
senator from Vermont, Mr. Mor-
rill. who said the house hud
promptly responded to the presi-
dent's message and had supple-
mented it with an emergency tariff
revenue bill. The f;-ee silver sub
stitute for the boud bill, he alleged
was not the first time when bread
has been asked for, that a stone
has been presented, but it is the
first time that a committee of the
senate seems to have perpetrated
practical joke almost good
enough for the clowa of Barnum's
menagerie.
Morrill paid his respects as fol-
lows to the threats to form a new
silver party:
"Some whjspered threats have
floated in the air that the extreme
silver men, now fraternizing here
and at home with the republican
party, would band themselves to-
gether on one dominant idea, and
with auxiliary democratic aid,
hitch onto the tail of a great re-
publican measure at the first op-
portunity some tinkling silver
amendment, hoping thereby to
secure silver triumph of a hybred
combination, although the grand
old republican party might perish.
But there is little fear of these
eruptive threats, for, if carried
out, the riot act might be read at
home to the offenders, upon whom
public opinion would not fail to
place its brand, and whatever
party might survive, not all of the
garroters of the republican party
wonld be among it8 members."
Senator Morrill then dwelt on
the injury that would be done to
the south if the world had a
chance to buy its cotton crop
with cheap silver. He enlarged
on the advantages of protection
and controverted the argument
that there was a gold standard
party in America. The republi-
can party intended to retain both
metals in circulation and recent
elections showed the people have
confidence in that party. "The

New York, Feb. 1.—A special
to the World from Havana says:
General Marin has returned with
his entire force from San Antonio
to Quivican and San Felipe, on
the military line between Havana
and Batabano. A rebel band cut
the railroad and telegraph between
Buena Ventura and Havana.
It is reported, although it is not
offieially confirmed, that Gomez,
with his whole force, committed
the depredation. If this is true it
is argued that he has taken alarm
from General Marin's sudden
movement and has abandoned his
intention of joining Maceo.
General Marin, with a strong
force of Spanish infantry, artillery
and cavalry, started from Havana
from Pinar del Rio province,
where it was known that both
Gomez and Maeeo had been raid-
ing. He camped at San Antonio,
a pretty little town on the railroad
half way between Rincon and
Guanajav.
It was supposed when General
Marin left Havana that he would
go straight to Guanajay, but he
changed his mind on learniug that
the telegraph wires were down be-
tween Guanajay and Alqnizar.

the wilderness of Michigan they

Tampa, Fla., Feb. 1.—A promi-
nent Matanzas lawyer writes to
friends here the most of the im-
portant Cuban famUies are leaving
the island for Mexico, South and
North America. The United rail-
way at Havana has discharged 285
employes. When Gomez passed
through San Jose for Lajos be left
six sick men there. One Spanish
column passed, leaving them un-
molested, bnt another column
came along and killed the six men,
chasing one of them into the street
before killing him. Quinton Ban-
dera, learning of this, informed
the women and children to leave
the town and then burned it.
Maceo, the letter says, captnred
3304 carts with provisions and
aras and ammunition near Finar
del Rio. The Cubans here held
an immense condolence meeting
last night over the loss of the
steamer Hawkins. A meeting was
called for tne purpose of collecting
funds for the junta to purchase
another vessel.
A Special Grand Jury.
Cincinnati, O., Feb. 1 —There
is considerable agitation here over
the report that a special grani
fury will consider the cases of the
officers of the Commercial bank,
which failed a year ago. Cashier
Campbell refused to answer ques-
tions while on the witness stand
yesterday, claiming the privilege
of exemption from incriminting
nimseir. He was asked whether
the ba;;k paid interest on deposits.
Another inquiry like that ol the
Fidelity bank is expected.
A M. Joseph Killing.
St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 1.—
Richard J. Stump, a well known
traveling man, was shot and in-
stantly killed this morning by
William J. Keller. The men
quarreled last night and today
Keller fired four shots at him,
three of which took effect. The
murderer was sober and gave no
reason for the killing. He
arrested.

things that ths

New York, Feb. 1.—The Slavo-
phile organ, Svet, in a double
leaded editorial, says that that the
baptism of Prince Boris of Bulga-
ria into the orthodox Greek chur«'h
is assured. He will n t be the
irodson of the pope, but of Russia.
Hiss baptism will be a great suc-
cess for Russia's policy and a
solemn event in the history of the
orthodox church.
Crispi's Project.
New York. Feb. 1.—Signor
Crispi persists iu his project of
having the forces of King Melenik
of Abyssinnia attacked by General
Baratieris' army at a time wheu
Melenik is marching through a
country unfavorable to operations
by the Italians. This resolution
has aroused the greatest opposi
tion among the moderates and
radicals. They denounced 4he
campaign as indefensible and ex-
travagant and demand that the
chambers should meet without
delay in order to pronounce upon
the situation.
