CONSULS IN DANGER
Debate on the Morgan Resolution In the Senate.
WEYLER IS CALLED A MADDOG.
Reason I"or the State Department's Secrecy as to Consulor Reports Is Said to Be a Fear That tlio OiiUei'g Will I?c Massacred Reception to tlio Postal Congress.
WASHINOTON, May 20.—ALIO thor stir ring debate on. Cuba oocurrcd in tlio senate yesterday. It was of tlio give and take order, with sharp parliamentary fencing. The main speeches of the day were made by Senators For-altcr (O.), Cannon (Utah), Lindsay (Ky.) and Hoar (Mass.) It was tlio first speech of any length made by Mr. Foraker sinco he entered the senate, and in addition to this the Ohio senator is one of the Cuban subcommittee of the committee on foreign relations. He spoke in favor of a reference of the resolution to the committee, but on the general questions declared liis purpose of supporting the resolution recognizing Cuban belligerency when it should bo reported to the committee. Mr. Cannon was bitter in his denunciation of Spanish atrocity, characterizing tlio captain general of Cuba as "that maddog Weyler." Mr. Lindsay declared if the information furnished by United States consuls was so shocldng as to subject them to danger of assassination if their names were disclosed it was time to send warships to Cuba and to terminate all diplomatic relations with that country.
It was developed in the course of a colloquy between Senators Foraker, Morgan and Vest that the state department had withheld the names of United States consuls reporting
011
the serious
conditions of affairs in Cuba because it might lead to their massacre. Mr. Vest declared that this presented the most serious phase of the subject, as it was time to protect our officials with warships it their personal safety was threatened for making reports to their government.
No action on the resolution was taken but Mr. Morgan said he hoped to secure a vote today on Mr. Hale's motion to refer. Ho desired to do this, he said, in order that the Cuban resolution might not antagonize the tariff bill on Monday.
Mr. Vest, asked why it was that three members
01
tlio committee
011
011
foreign
relations had access to the evidence furnished by United States consuls and the senate did not have it. Mr. Morgan answered that three senators on the commictee had been sent as a subcommittee to the president and secretary of state to confer
the Cuban subject. They
had received certain information and the injunction was laid upon them that the name of General Lee was not to be used in connection with the information. "The reason given for this," added Mr. Morgan, "was the fear that the officials who gave the information would be massacred. Another reason was that we had
110
war vessels ready
to meet the outbreaks of vicious people, ready to massacre." Mr. Vest addressing Mr. Foraker said: "I call attention to the statement of tlio entleiiian from Alabama that the presient and secretary of state desired that names of consuls should not be given as it would involve their assassination. Is that ,so?" "Not in that language," replied Mr. Foraker, "but it was suggested that tho disclosure of names might do more harm than good and possibly lead to violence." 'And now, we comc to the serious question," continued Mr. Vest, impressively. "Has the government sent gunboats to see that our consular officials aro protected? Must wo bo told that they may bo assassinated if their names are given? That is the serious question."
Mr. Hoar pointed out that it was usual to withhold the names of consuls when the disclosure might result in a demand for their recall. "I am one of those senators who want an enrlv vote
011
this reso
lution," Mr. Hoar weiit on. -'I am specially desirous of getting it out of the way, because there is other important business ripe and ready, for which this special session of congress was called and for which the business and the labor of the country are anxiously waiting."
Mr. Foraker said that "in spite of the limitations which aro imposed upon me I feel at liberty to state that mediation lias been tendered by this government and has been rejected by Spain."
Mr. Foraker then gave the facts regarding the Oluey letter to De Lome. He read a sentence from Spain's reply to the proposition as follows: "There is no effectual way to pacify the Cubans except upon the condition that they first submit to the mother country." "Having rejected this proposition," Mr. Foraker asked, "is it reasonable to suppose that she would now entertain a proposition to abdicate entirely?" Mr. Foraker then read at length from Mr. Olney's letter offering mediation and from tho consular report as credited to General Lee.
After remarks by several other senators and without coming to a vote the senate adjourned until Monday
Reception to llie Postal Congress. "WASHINGTON-, May 20.—Tho delegates

TURKEY"FOR"PEACE
Government Ready to Modify Its
Demands in Certain Particulars.
SULTAN WILL NOT CONCEDE ALL
Abolition 'at Capitulation In Greece Must Be Agrewd or There AVill Be No Peace Iu Kurope—Tile Czar's Telegram—Ofllcial Statement from tlio Turkish Government.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 20.—An official of the Turkish foreign office iu an interview yesterday, after dwelling upon the provocative attitude of the Greeks and the earnest efforts made by Turkey to prevent war, said: "During the month's war Turkey has suffered serious in life and money and tho peace conditions put forward cannot but be regarded as moderate and as wholly justified. Nevertheless, the government is possibly prepared to modify its demands in regard to the indemnity and the cession of Thessaly in view of the bankrupt condition of Greece and as a proof of its pacific desires. "In regard to the abolition of the capitulations in favor of the Greek subjects in Turkey, it is impossible for the government, iu the interests of the country, to make any modifications. Even Servia and Roumania, in every sense the superiors of Greece, have not these privileges, and Greece cannot be allowed to retain exceptional rights which she has so scandalously abused. It is confidently hoped, therefore, that Europe will have sufficient sense of justice not to press Turkey. Upon this point she is determined not to yield, and should Europo
EDLLEM PASHA.
attempt to impose such a sacrifice by force of arms the situation created would be most detrimental to general peace. The Turkish population would inevitably become excited by such injustice, the govprnment could not hold itself responsible for the grave consequences which would follow and the powers would, in the end undoubtedly liavo cause to deplore deeply tho result of such actions."
The C/.ar's Telegram.
The telegram of the czar appealing to the sultan to cease hostilities against Greece, which was couched in the most friendly terms, is regarded as being very significant as showing the pacific intentions of the czar, while it is also politically important in the line of checking German influence at tho Yildiss Kiosh which influence has considerably increased since the outbreak of the war with Greece. The action of the czar has had a marked impression upon the Turkish government which is already showing a more conciliatory disposition, promising the conclusion of an equitable peace.
Sultan's Official Statement.
An official statement was published last evening, which, after reciting the Turkish side of the war up to the battle of Domokos, says: "The czar sent to the sultan a special telegram expressing his sincere sentiments in reaffirming tho pacific views of tho powers and noting with appreciation the success of the imperial troops The capture of Domokos fornung the natural limit of the defensive operations and* the government being desirious of giving fresh proof of ii pacific intention, the cabinet decided, and its decision was confirmed by an irade, to cease hostilities upon conditions to be arranged by the respective commanders. The conditions of peace following the armistice will assure tlio' future rights and dignity of the imperial government, the frontiers of Turkey ind the preservation of general peace."
GRKKIC MOV1SM KNTS.
General Smolensk! Ordered to Occupy and Defend Thermopylae. ATHENS, May 20.—The government
has ordered General Smolenski to occupy and defend Thermopylae and Molos (Malos), which will constitute the chief lino of Greek defense. It appears that a portion of the army remained at Devenfurka, where its retreat was cut off by the Turkish occupation of Aidinitza.
Two hours fighting occurred there Tuesday morning. When the Greek commander informed the enemy that an armistice had been signed the latter replied that he had no knowledge of it, but, accepting tho Greek statement, he stopped the fighting pending a reference of tho matter to Edliem Pasha at Domoskos.
General Smolenski and Crown Princo Constantine met late Wednesday night at Imerbe, five miles from Lamia. No further progress has been made in the peace negotiations.
A dispatch just received from Arta says that when the Greek and Turkish delegates met to discuss the armistice tlio latter declared that they would submit the proposal of tho Greeks to Edhem Pasha, and pending the arrival of instructions from him, would agree to an armistice for 24 hours.
'rassed tho Anti-Mob Bill. FRANKFORT, Ky„ May 20.—The legis
lative fight of two winters is ended. Tho house passed the anti-mob bill yesterday, thus removing all probability to any additional extra session and the senate silver minority fought through another whole day without allowing the fusion bill to pass. This makes tho bill's passage at this session, which ends Friday, an impossibility.
BANK MESSENGER DISAPPEARS.
Albert M. Tilng Mysteriously Missing—So Is a l.urgo Amount of Money. BOSTON, May 20.—Albert M.. King, a
10-year-old messenger of the Boylston National bank, is missing together with about §20,000 in cash and a $10,000 United States certificate not negotiable OXgcpt between lanks. King started for the clearinghouse yesterday to settle the balance against the bank and on the way, according to instructions, transacted other business involving some tiling like §45,000, As he did not return to the bank in a reasonable time the officials grow anxious and made a search for the messenger, besides notifying the police, but have been unable to ascertain his whereabouts. When young King left the bank for the clearinghouse the balance against tho bank was §15,590.71. To pay this ho received an order on the Union National §25,000, the remainder to be returned to the Bovlston bank. Besides ho was instructed to go to the Freemans National bank and collect §20,000 which he was to carry to tho National Bank of Commerce and pay it there.
King reached the clearinghouse and paid over the §15,000 in cash, which he had received from the Union bank, and iu order to balance the account he had to take §500.71 from the §20,000 which he should have, paid to the National Bank of Commerce. Here all trace of tho missing boy was lost.
