Si-? ial to the In ilanaU Journal. WASHINGTON Jan. 7.-The Cabinet carjnters now have it that Air. Dlnsley has finally decided to "turn down" the MeKinley tender of the treasury portfolio at the urgent solicitation of .members of his family and his rhysiclah who fear for his health. From this Cabinet kok?Ip sensational writers for Democratic newspaiers In the 12a? t have huildrd ji fairy story about a row between; Dinpley 'tnd llanna due. as they pay. to if anna's demand and Dinsley's Indignant refusal to frame the new tariff with a, special view to the repayment of campaign contributions by trusts and protected interests. The yarn Is made out of whole cloth. Hanna is not interfering or suRKestlnR legislation, and the new tariff bill will Ik? framed directly along the lines agreed upon at the ways and means committee caucus thirty days ago a measure designed to produce sufficient revenue and at the same time diffuse the burden of taxation equitably, without affording offensive protection in any Quarter. Senator Allison arrived in Washington to-day from Canton, where he had a two hours conference with President-elect McKlnley. In answer to. inquiries the senator said, in ?uttance, that his conference with Mr. ilcKInley was of a confidential character, and therefore he was not at liberty to discus3 it. As fcr himself, however, he would say that he would not be in McKlnley's Cabinet. As to others whose names had been prominently mentioned in connection with the Cabinet he knew little. Whether Senator Sherman or Mr. Cornelius N. Lliss, of New York, had. been or would bo offered portfolios .'he. did not know. Neither, he added. hm'f he much definite Information In regard to Mr. Dingley, of Maine. The name of the chairman of the ways and means committee had leen prominently mentioned in connection with the secretaryship of the' treasury, end undoubtedly he would fill that fsition with marked ability, but the senator did not know whether he had leen tendered the position. The senator said that ho was aware that Mr. MeKinley had a Very high opinion of Mr. Dingley's ability and fitness for the place, and the senator was of the opinion that Mr. Dingley's name was now under consideration iti this connection. He (Allison) could not. however, speak with authority or with any posltlveness on the subject. As to the pending' Cuban resolutions. Senator Allison said he had not discussed thm with Mr. MeKinley. For his own part, however, h thought that it would be unwise for the United State. to take any precipitate action In the matter. We could well afford to proceed with deliberation, and lie thought it would be the part of wisdom to o'o so. Th senator said he found Mr. MeKinley in the best of health and spirits eind very hopeful for the future. ii as .MiT hi:fisi:d. Senator Alllaon Not Yet Offered the Secretaryship of Stnte. CLEVELAND. O.. Jm. 7. The statement by Senator Allison in his Interview in Washingtonn to the effect that he would not be in the Cabinet of President MeKinley is not accepted as final here. It is stated on the highest authority to-night that Mr. Allison did not refuse yesterday to accept the portfolio o? the State De partment. In fact, it pretty certain that Mr. MeKinley did net offer him the place in so many words, Of course, he doubtless suggested to Mr. Allison that he would like to have him in the Cabinet, and it is probable that Mr. Allison said he preferred to remain In the Senate without refusingIolnt blank to accept a place. Mr. McKlnley'a friends believe that if the position of secretary of state U offered to Senator Allison in a formal way he will not refuse to accept It. and it Is furthermore believed that such an offer will yet be made, in spite of what has already transpired. It was stated at Mr. Hanna's office to-day that the exact time when Mr. Sherman would visit the President-elect had not been fixed, although it war. aamltted that the meeting had been arranged. It is quite probable that no further important step will taken toward the formation of the Cabl ?t until the Preldent-elect has conferred with the senior Ohio senator. Mr. J. T. Iitfin. a prominent Republican .in Tennessee, arrived In Cleveland this morning, and during the day had a conference with Nat'onal Chairman Hanna. Mr. Lattln stated that he came in connection with the gubernatorial and congressional contest in his State. .The Republicans cf Tennessee, he said, desired to have a Joint resolution adopted by Congress for the appointment of a committee to thoroughly investigate the recent election in that State. He claimed that the frauds had been so openly committed that there would be but little difficulty in demonstrating treat Irregularities to such a committee. He desired to obtain the co-oieratlon of Mr. Hanna in securing the action mentioned bv Congress. Mr. Pracht. of Oregon, is very solicitous that the campaign against free silver be maintained. Uefore leaving Cleveland he had a conference with Mr. Hanna, who assured him most emphatically that thefight would not te dropped. President-elect and Mrs. MeKinley remained at Windernere until this afternoon, w hen they were driven in Mr. Hanna's carriage to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Myron T. Herrick. at No. 10.V. Prospect street. where they will remain during the rest of the week. There were verv few callers at WIndfrr.ere during the morning, and Mr. and Mrs. MeKinley hi consequence sjent the morn nig In a very quiet manner, chatting with the memberr of the family. The only serial function which will be participated in by Majcr and Mrs. MeKinley will be a dinner given by hN sister. Mrs. Duncan, of IJcJh avenue., io-morrow evening. The only other pumts will be Col. and Mrs. M. T. Herrick. linLIT.l) IIY THIS IlLIZZAKI). lIttUMtrouh ltc-Hleetlon to the 1 nlled StateH Senate .Murcd. inSMARCK. N. D., Jan. 7. The election of Hansbrough to the innate from the S ate is practically accomplished. His supporters have the pledges of a majority of the Republican members of the LegUdature and unless these pledges are broken Hansbrough will win on the first ballot. This rewult was accomplished' under the most peculiar conditions. Three weeks ago the o;podtlon to Hansbrough's return'was In the majority, hut this opnosltlon was not united. On Sun lay the blizzard choked up every line of railroad :i the State, leaving Hanhhroiigh's opponents at Fargo and tJrantl Forks, unable to re--h here. The 1lanhrough men iud a majority of the Rt. publicans here and they seized the opirtunlty to make up the laie for both legislative houses. The antl-Hanbroiiglj men were without organization; the House had to organize Tuesday nd the nntl-IIans-brough men were compelled to come Into the Hansbrough camp or lrs HI their oflice in th organization. Hvery man came Into the legislative caucus and subscribed to the ulate. but there were still a few haky ones In the Senate, which has not elected Its oihers. Subsequent events settled the matter. Colon"' W. H. Robinson, national committeeman, bad Just returned

from a trip to Cleveland to see Hanna. who refused to Interfere against Hansbrough. It is said that Robinson had wired to Fargo releasing all who were pledged to him. National Committeeman Robinson tonight gave out a statement that it Is impossible to centralize opposition to Hansbrough. and that he has advised the caucus and would abide by the result. Mr. Robinson has been the recognized antlHansbrough leader, and this Is a practical concession of Hansbrough's election. ClnKKett May Oppose Dubois. BOISE. Idaho. .Tan. 7. The Populists held a caucus last niy.t, but the subject of a senatorial candidate was not taken up. It it expected that W. H. Claggett will be chosen, but It is not thought any agreement can be reached with the Democrats. This yiew Is quite general, and a majority of those watching the contest declare Claggett cannot ! elected. Whether the Democrats will vote for another Populist is the absorbing question that cannot now be answered positively. lvohlsnat Opposed to Madden. CHICAGO. Jan. 7. The Times-Herald, whose editor. Mr. 11. H. Kohlsaat. is believed to have the cor'idence of Presidentelect MeKinley, will have an editorial tomorrow urging the election of William K. Mason as I'nited States senator. It says: "The election of Martin It. Madden would be a menace to the MeKinley administration." and concludes with: "Those who aro not for us are aganist us. No friend of President MeKinley can vote for Martin B. Madden."

AN OUTLAW'S DEEDS. Simon Cooper, tt .rero, Splita Open the Hcud of Four People. MAYES VI LLE, S. C. Jan. 7.-Simon Cooer, a negro outlaw, who shot and killed another negro and wounded several others at Magnolia a few days ago and for whom there is a reward of $100 offered by the Governor, added more murder to his record this morning near Magnolia. Cooper entered the house of Benjamin Wilson about sunrise and demanded the use of Mr. Wilson's buggy, which was refused. Cooper then picked up an ax and split Mr. Wilson's head oih.ii. He attacked Wesley Wilson, the son. and murdered him in a like manner. Cooper then murdered Mrs. Wesley Wilson with the same weapon, after which he struck down a negro, who had approached on hearing tho noise, and left the ax sticking in the negro's head. As soon as the news of the shocking tragedy reached Sumter the sheriff organized a posse of mn. chart ered a special car and came to Mayesville. where reinforcements from this town and the surrounding county awaited him. Word reached the sheriff here that Cooper had been seen within two mMes of Sumter. The sheriff divided the volunteer into several posses, and sent them out in different directions, but Cooper was not found. The Wil&ons were white people of high standing in their community and their death Is deplored by all who knew them. Renjamin Wilson was about eighty years of age. his son Wesley about forty, and Mrs. Wesley thirty-five. Two children have been left orphans by the deed of the monster. Cooper. Up to this hour (1 a, m.) Cooper has not been captured, but it is almost impossible for him to escape, as the county is being scoured in every direction. If captured his fato will be a most terrible one. GANG OF COUNTERFEITERS. Arrewt of the Principal of the Detroit Hokum Money Maker. DETROIT. Mich.. Jan. 7. William J. Bums, a United States secret-service operative, this evening arrested Alfred Devereaux, a Detroit photographer, who I3 alleged to be the principal factor in the counterfeiting operations which have been in progress in this city. The capture; of the alleged gang legan with the arrest In Chicago of Frank Icpper, alias Z. II. York, who was caught in the act of receiving some of the "queer" by express. His brother, William W. Lepper, was later arrested here and this was followed by the arrest of Al Soper. L.eppers companion. Devereaux was taken in his photograph gallery, at No. 41 Monroe avenue, and with him was captured a complete outfit for making counterfeit bills by the pen-and-ink process. Devereaux wiil be arraigned to-morrow. Until within two years ago none of the makers of this sort of counterfeit work were apprehended, but since then over a dozen have been detected by the secret service. It Is charged that the Detroit gang has been making silver certificates in addition to the bills of New York, Detroit and several other banks. NATURAL GAS A MINERAL. Decision by JikIbph of the United State? Court of Appeals. NEW YORK. Jan. 7. Judges La combe and Wallace, of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, in a decision filed to-day, classify natural gas a mineral for all the purposes of the statutes and customs laws. This affirms the finding of the Circuit Court of this district, which upheld the board of general appraiser's declaration that the natural gas piped from Sherkstown. Ont.. to Buffalo. N. Y., is not subject to duty, because it is within the definition of "crude mineral." Under Section 4 of the MeKinley tariff the colle tor of customs, however, assessed the imported gas at 10 per cent., holding that the gas is a "raw or manufactured article, not enumerated or provided for." NEW USE FOR X RAYS. 31 ay He I tlllred in the Inspection of .aval Armor Plate. PITTSBURG. Pa.. Jan. 7.-The powerful X-ray machine constructed by Prof. R. A. Fessendn. of the Western University, was on exhlbltloln to-night before the Academy of Science and Art at Carnesle Hall. Professor James Keeler. of the Allegheny Observatory, in telling of the wonderful tests which the machine has been put to. said that it had already thrown a ray of light through four Inches of solid iron, and he thinks later on it will be developed so that it will pierce six or eight inches, and Intimated strongly that it may yet be utilized in inspection of armor plate. DECISION WORTH $1,500,000. Leases Made by the Old Whisky Trust Declared Void. CHICAGO. Jan. 7.-The United States Court of Appeals to-day handed down an Important decision in the whisky case. The court decided that the leases made by the old Whisky Trust cannot be enforced, and are void.

REFORMS ADVOCATED

rOITS FROM MESSAGES OF NEWLY I N A VG I RATED Ci O V ER.NORS. Several Radical Chances In Law and Custom Recommended by llaxen S. Pinsree to Michlgnn Legislators. W0LC0TT TO BAY STATE MEN 3IOIIH CARE lltGEIl I GHAM'FVG CHARTERS TO TRUST COMPANIES. Growth of Dishonesty Among: OrllciaJ 31nine Determined to lie No Longer Deceived ly the West. LANSING. Mich.. Jan. 7. The two houses of the Legislature convened in joint session this afternoon and listened to the addresses of the retiring and incoming Governors. Governor Pingree's address at the outset recommended abolishment of party conventions, which, he asserted, have become the medium of trickery, bribery and fraud. He advocated Instead the direct vote and the Australian ballot system in nominating candidates. xThe Governor urged that the property of corporations be taxed in the same manner as other property. Present inequalities of passenger fares In Michigan (owing to certain features of the charters of certain roads) were urged to be a projer subject for legislative action. Governor Pingrce deplored the fact that while, for instance, tho Chicago & Grand Trunk road is confined to a local passenger charge of 2 cents a mile, the Michigan Central and Lake Shore are permitted to charge a local fare of 3 cents, and he added: "It is also commonly known that passengers traveling between Michigan stations are charged more by the railroads than those who travel through the State from outside points." The Legislature was recommended to consider tho question of uniform 2-cent fares. The Governor urged that the referendum practice of referring legislative acts to the people be required in the granting of quasi public' franchises. After denouncing the trusts and combinations of the present day the Governor warned the legislators against permitting Michigan to become. the field for operations through which great corporations might acquire possession of the State's mineral resources, and. in connection therewith, control the lake shipping interests. He advised consideration of the supervision of corporations by a corporation commissioner, who should ascertain the exact available assets of every corporation before permitting it to enjoy corporate privileges. On the subject of railway taxation Governor Pingree. while not advising dispensing with the present system of specific taxation on the earnings of such eoriorations, urged some steps towards adding to that Hystem. He advised the creation of a Stale board which should determine the value of all corporate property not nowtaxed locally t.nd which should levy taxes thereon In the same proportion that private property is taxed. The present taxation of mortgages, he asserted, is double taxation against the borrower. The Governor came out strongly against "the paid lobbyists who infest our halls." and added: "If the legislators are not Intelligent enough to give independent thought and action to public measures without the aid of those who wine and dine and cajole and Hatter and bribe, at least steps should be taken to modify the nuisance. There should be some method of enrollment and a fee demanded as a condition precedent to the right to practice before the people's legislative Jury." In regulation of the granting of publicfranchises the Governor advised as follows: "Reserve the right to fix rates of charges, let the construction of plants be tinder the supervision of the municipality. Provide that no mortgage be executed or bonds issued to a greater amount than o.iehalf the cost of the plant. Require the corporation to tile svvorn statements of its receipts and f xpendlturcs. certified by a public accountant. Provide against consolidation of companies. Provide that no franchise be extended during the life of the original grant. Provide that no franchise bo granted without being submitted to a vote of the people." Governor Pingree favored thy establishment of a State board of arbitration, and declared for an inheritance tax and na, income tax. In conclusion, he recommended annual sessions of the Legislature of not exceeding sixty days. WOLCOTTS .MUSSA(K. Trust Companies nnd Dishonest Offleinln Dlncunned ly the Governor. BOSTON, Jan. 7 The annual inauguration exercises of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts took place at the Statehouse to-day. The big building was thronged, many ladies being amcng those' present. Tho two houses iat jointly in the hall of the House and President Lawrence occupied the chair and administered the oath of office, after which Governor Roger Wolcott delivered his inaugural address. Regarding restrictive legislation relative to trust companies the Governor says: "These companies transact a general banking business and in addition thereto, receive and manage trust firms on decrees of courts or by bequests of individuals. In acting as such trustees they are not required to furnish sureties on their official bond. The number of these companies is rapidly increasing and special charters for their incorporation have been granted by recent legislatures with considerable freedom. Owing to the Importance and peculiar nature of the functions which they perform, it is probable that equal accommodation to the public and a greater degree of security are to be gained by the operation of a moderate number of strong companies in the centers of population, rather than of a multiplicity of companies scattered through the smaller communities. I would suggest extreme caution in granting charters, to the end that the public may be properly guarded from a speculative and Insecure financial method." A cognate topic to the foregoing Is treated by Governor Wolcott as follows: "The frequency with which those intrusted with the funds of othern prove faithless to their trust, and widespread lot-s and dli Iress consequent upon their ac ts, may well suggest the inquiry whether it is possible, through legislation, to interpose additional safeguards for the protection both of tho individual and of the community. In many cases the criminal act Is directly traced to speculation in stocks, and at the outset there is often an entire absence of criminal intent. I ask you to consider: First, whether. In the case of state and municipal officers who have the custody of public funds, stock gimbling that Is. the buying or selling of stock on margin should not be forbidden by law. under proper penalty, or be made by statute cause for removal fiom otllce: second, whether this principle may profitably b? extended to treasurers of quasi-public and private corporations, and to trustees unoer private instrument." Colored Councilor Seated. ROSTON. Jan. 7. In spite of every sort of legal appeal in the board of election commissioners, the courts, and at last the Legislature itself, Isaac D. Allen, the first colored man ever holding such an office, was seat-xl as councilor to-day by the Legislature. Mr. Allen's color is very marked, and he was the center of Interest at the joint convention of !oth branches of the Legislature, before whom he took the oath of office". At a subsequent meeting of the council, the Governor appointee! Mr. Allen on three committees, two of them of considerable importance. CANNOT HE DELI DEI) AGAIN. .Via i lie Will Send No More Money to the Populist West. A CGl'STA. Mc. Jan. 7. The inauguration of Governor Lewellyn Powers and other Statjs officers took place to-day. The exercises were witnessed by an unusually large gathering and were attended with the t.sual formalities. The weather was exceptionally fine In the course of his message the eiovernor .ys: "Our ycung men have very generally ceased to emigrate to the far West as soon as they are old enough to

commence life for themselves. They are beginning to realize the important truth, that at home are to be found more certain Inducements and advantages, with much less of hardship, suffering and privation. Our people have learned, in the stern school of experience, to their sorrow and cost, that a large part of the many millions of money that have been sent westward to enrich and build up that section, and to be invested in all sorts of wild and .visionary schemes, will never be returned to them again: and they will no longer permit themselves to be deluded and deceived by specious pretenses and false promises rarely ever to be realized. We may, therefore, reasonably hope that their saving hereafter will be largely employed In more fully developing the resources of our own State."

Silas A. Holcomh's Message. LINCOLN. Neb.. Jan. T.-Silas A. Holcomb was for. the second time Inaugurated Governor of Nebraska to-day. In his message he discussed the ballo; law in the light of the last election, and recommended some amendment that will prevent the use of party designations by bolting factions. "Some action." he said, "might very properly be taken tc discourage discrimination between political parties by railroad companies operating within the State. The issuance of passes to an army of political workers and the giving of special rates lor political meetings make the railroad tympanies a power in shaping the political destinies of the State.' Railroad companies do the business of the public, and should be restrained bv a wholsome legislation form active partlc?patlon in party politics." Want Ilallot Law Simplified. CONCORD. N. H.. Jan. 7.-George Ramsdell was to-day formally Inducted into the office of Governor. His address dealt chiefly with changes he deemed advisable in the forra of Australian ballot blanks used in New Hampshire, his wish being to simplify the system as much as possible.

CUBANS MORE BOLD

INSIIIGENTS ENCOlltAGED BY" YVEYLEIl'S IIETIHX TO 1 1 AY AN A. Attack Made on the Trocha nnd Four Forts Destroyed with the Aid of a Dynamite Gun. RAIDS NEAR THE CAPITAL GENERAL LIQI E'S COLL" 31 N DEFEATED BY BANDERA'S GUERRILLAS. Smallpox Spreading: in Plnnr Del Ilio Humor that the YVnr Will End if Weyler Is Recalled. KEY' WEST, Jan. 7. Reports from Pinar del Rio are that Weyler" s withdrawal has encouraged the insurgents greatly. An attack was made on the trocha Monday near the southern end and four of the forts destroyed, the garrison elesertlng on the appearance of the insurgents in force. At one attack the big dynamite gun was used and Its first shot threw the garrison into such terror that they fled, leaving many of their arms and a large supply of ammunition for the Cubans. The outposts at Artemisa have been driven in and two convoys of supplies to Spanish camps along the military road captured by the Cubans. Havana advices state that Qulntln Dandera, the guerrilla insurgent leader, is "bushwhacking" near that city and that he defeated a column commanded by General Luque yesterday, inflicting severe punishment on the Spaniards. He also captured a large convoy of arms and ammunition and supplies of various kinds. AVEYLER IX THE WAY'. Insurgents May Surrender If the Batcher Is Recalled. CHICAGO, Jan. 7. A dispatch to tho Tribune from Washington, says: Positive statements were made to-night from Spanish legation sources that Gomez, the Cuban commander in chief, had actually submitted a proposition for peace to Senor Sagasta in Madrid, and that the facts have already been communicated to the Junta here. All that stands in the way, it is said, is the proposed recall of Captain General Weyler, which the Insurgents Insist shall be preliminary to all negotiations. The statements come to tho Tribune correspondent with great distinctness, but as the source is Spanish, there is an open suspicion that the news may be given out for the express purpose of injuring the insurgent cause. Secretary Quesada and other Cuban representatives here have all along denied that the insurgents would accept anything short of independence, and they profess to be shocked and disappointed at the story of weakening on the part of Gomez. They will not admit that he has communicated with them, but the legation story is to the effect that a letter from the Cuban general was received by the Junta on Dec. in which he says that if Weyler Is recalled and Martinez Campos calletl or Pando sent In his place the insurgents will be ready to talk of laying down their arms. WORSE THAN BILLETS. Smallpox nnd Yellow Fever Still Playing Havoc iu Cuba. HAVANA. Jan. 7. Smallpox is extending to an alarming extent in the town of Pinar del Rio, and at Guanajay there are more than four hundre-d cases. The press calls upon the Governor of Pinar del Rio to require all baggage to be fumigated at the railroad stations in order to prevent the terrible disease from extending to other towns. Y'eilow fever also continues, although the number of cases is less and the mortality not so severe. Numerous families are abandoning their farms and homes ' by reason of General Weyler's latest edict requiring ail to supply themselves with police certificates in order to secure permission to remain on their farms. They- are collecting at Santiago de las Vegas. The insurgent captains Victor Numas and Leandro Toledo, have been captured at Matanzas and imprisoned in the fort of San Severenio. The foreign insurance companies have authorized their agents here to draw upon them for 1.000 for a hospital to be established at Guanabacoa by the Red Cross Society. The insurance agents themselves also offer a contribution lor the same object. Manzanlllo reports that General Boch raised the siege of the town of Guira on Dec. 31, and afterwards had a fight with Calixto Garcia and his followers at the height of Sordo. a mention of which has already been cabled. It is also reported that an Insurgent who surrendered with his arms declared that the Insurgent loss in their Last engagement was 2.17 dead and wounded and that there Is widespread disgust among the insurgent leaders. The coasting steamers Bonviar and Guanlguanico. from Vuelta Abajo, have brought in five officers and ?M men sick and wounded and nine prisoners of war. Harry Delados Experience. NEW YORK. Jan. 7. A Havana special to the Mall and Express says: The escape from instant death of Harry Delgado, the Mall and Express correspondent, was little short of marvelous. It was learned here yesterday that he has undergone an operation in the San Ambrosia Hospital, and that it will be determined at the end of nine days whether he is likely to live or die. Delgado's vitality was much reduced by his experiences, lie lay lor ten weeks in a thatched hut without medical attention. When his hiding place was discovered he was so weak that he could scarcely move. He had no arms and no ammunition. The commander of the squad was about to dispatch him with a machete after asking him his name. One of the Spanish soldiers remembered that there was a reward of 2'jO.oOJ pesetas for the capture of Ricardo Delgado or Rerldo Delgado. suspected of being filibustering agents in Florida. They believed Harry Delgado to be one of these two and carried him off to Havana, where they expected to see him shot after having received the blool money. No Prosecution for Piracy. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The report that the government intends to prosecute the alleged filibuster, the Three Friends, and her officers on a charge of piracy Is without founoation. Soon after the Three Friends returned from her last trip into Cuban waters, when she was said to have used her guns against a Spanish cruiser, the officers of the Department of Justice took occasion to look up the law on the subject of piracy, and it is understood that it was found the weight of authorities on international law as applied to this country was largely against the theory that the officers of a vessel in the situation of the Three Friends, even If it could lx; shown thai shots were tired at the Spanish vessel, could Ik? held as pirates. The accepted definition of the word pirate is one who is an .enemy of all mankind a highway robler on the seas. The fact, therefore, that the Three Friends fired on the vessel of an edher nation is not. in the opinion of the officials of the Department of Justice, sufficient warrant for action against her as a pirate. Return of SenutorElcct Money. TAMPA. Fla.. Jan. 7. Senator-elect Money, of Mississippi, to-night arrived from Cuba, and soon afterward left for Washington. He refused to talk on the Issue of the Cuban war. He, however, said that he was accorded every courtesy by General Weyler. whom he met at the palace. He went out twenty mile to the southwest of Havana, where lie spent two days. He saw no righting, but passed many Spanish yoldlers. Mr. Money denied that he was sent to Cuba by the Pre.ddent to make an Investigation; that he

went at tho solicitation of political colleagues; that he was an agent of the Junto: that he was sent out of the country, or that he was at any time in danger of being put in prison. From reliable sources it is learned that Banao. near Havana, was burned Sunday night by the insurgents. The people of Guanabacoa are leaving that place on account of the. butcheries by the Spanish officers and soldiers. To Investigate Mora Claim Payment. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The Senate, in executive session, has adopted a resolution Instructing the committee on foreign relations to investigate the payment of the Mora claim. The resolution was introduced by Senator Chandler, and Instructs the committee to ascertain, among other things, whether the settlement providing for the payment of $l,5e.00O on account or the claim was a fair one. It also directs the committee to ascertain whether the payment of the claim involved any insurance from this government as to the attitude this country would maintain in the Cuban insurrection. The Senate agreed to the resolution without division or debate and without requiring any assurance that there was any suspicion that the settlement had not been regular. Members of the committee on foreign relations say they do not anticipate that a general investigation will be undertaken Into the question. Charges Aicainst Dr. Betancourt. HAVANA. Jan. 7. Dr. Casper Betancourt. a naturalized American citizen and a well-known dentist, who was arrested here on Dec 7 as a political suspect, is said to have been one of the leaders of the insurgents during the ten years' war.

the collector of the revolutionary junto, the agent of Aguirre, the insurgent leader, and Jose Maria Diaz, the agent of Castillo, also a leader of the insurgents. The King s attorney last night sent the first document in the proceedings against Dr. Retancourt to the District Court, where he will le trie-d before an ordinary tribunal. Diaz and Martinez have already hevn sent to the Chafarinas islands. Jackson Not In Mtro Prison. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind., Jan. 7. Several days ago word was received here from New Orleans from a man who claimed to have just returned from Havana that Charles A. Jackson, at one time a resident of this city, and also of India napolK was confined in Moro Prison. Cuba, supposedly as a prisoner from the insurgent army. Owing to the well-known characteristics of Jackson tho story was little doubted, but information was received to-day tending to showthat the story was a canard. The Department of State was asked by the mayor of this city to make an investigation of the case, which was done, and word received here that no one of the name of Jackson is now or has been confined in Moro Prison. Clearance Paper Demanded. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 7. The steamer Dauntless. Captain Myers, returned to Jacksonville at midnight. W. A. Risbee, owner of the tug, says that he will. In a few days, load her with arms and munitions of war and will then clear her for Cuba. This morning Mr. Bislee applied for clearance for the Dauntless to the iort of Neuvitas. Cuba, with munitions of war. but Collector Rlsbee refused to grant the clearance to the tug until he had consulted the authorities at Washington, which was done by wire. The collector received instructions late this afternoon to make a searching Inquiry regarding where the vessel has been the last lew days, and to make a full report Immediately. Why the Commodore Sunk. COLUMBUS. O., Jan. 7. A special to the Dispatch from Ormond-by-the-Sea. Fla., brings new and important information regarding the cause of the sinking of the steamer Commodore, which has been reported to have been scuttled by a Spanish traltcr on board. The correspondent had an Interview at Dayton with Captain Murphy, of the lost steamer. In which the latter stated that the report that the Commodore had been sunk by traitor, is not true. All the crew, twenty-seven in number, were loyal to the Cuban cause. The trouble that caused the sinking of the ship originated in the engineer's department. The engineer, the captain said, had been drinking heavily, and th:it when they discovered the ship leaking and the pumps did not work, U was too late; to save her. MINERS' THEORIES EXPLODED. Ore Rich in Gold Found at 11 Depth of Over U, 1M Feet. (t t SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. The mining world has been set by the ears by the developments in the Kennedy mine, in Grass valley, in the past few days. At a perpendicular depth of over 2,100 feet a body of rich ore, fully thirty feet in width, has been discovered. In magnitude the ore body will compare favorably with any yet found and the great depth at which it lies explodes a long-cherished and heretofore-believed infallible tradition of the search for gold on the Pacific coast. Jt is an old theory which age has almost crystallized into formula; that gold ore disappears after a certain depth has been attained. This Is a creed cf every old prosector from the Yukon to the Panama isthmus. The development in the Kenne-dy mine not only tojples over this old belief, but may lead to a revolution In mining in this State, for the deeper progress is made In tho Kennedy the wider grows the ore body. Microbes on Money. Vienna Medical Gazette. It Is a well-known fact that paper money Is liable to transfer bacteria from one ierson to another. It was also supposed that coins, which are more in circulation than notes, might act as similar agents. In reality, coins act. so to sfeak. as antiseptics to bactera or microbes, the fact being that the'se microscopic organisms have but a very short lease of life while on metals. The destroying influences of metals Increase with their temperature. At a temperature of 95 to Iinj degrees Fahrenheit, which Is common in the pockets where money Is carried, the destruction of microbes occurs within three hours. Painful. Washington Post. It must severely pain Mr. Wanamaker to see his efforts to purify politics alluded to as plain office-seeking. Looks that Way. New York Commercial Advertiser. It begins to look as if the Cuban war ran a very good chance of going into the hands of a receiver. Sirs.
