PLYMOUTH. INDIANA WAIT FOE COXGKESS. CUBANS DELAY IN MAKING PLEA FOR RECOGNITION. They IJelicve They Have a Better Chance of an Acknowledgment of Their Belligerent Rights by Fuch Action. Policy of Cuban Leaders. Gonzales de Quesada, secretary of tin Cuban revolutionary party, with headquarter in New York, has been in Washington recently on private business. He did not sit Secretary OIney, nor were any steps taken toward securing the recognition of the Cuban insurgents as belligerents. The ioIiey of the Cubans in seeking recognition of the FniteJ States has been outlined substantially as follow: No application will be made to the executive branch of the government until Conpress assembles. It is the feelir.g that even if the executive authorities were lislMsed to recognize the Cubans, the action would involve such grave responsibility that the executive branch would desire to have the co-operation and supiort of Congress. Care will be taken also to see that there is uniformity in the steps pvolosed to Congress. In this way the mistakes made at the time of the last Cuban uprising will be avoided. At that time there were no less than forty different Cuban resolutions referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, promising reeotrnitioii. arbitration and many other plans, all intended to favor Cuba. In the end this diversity of proposals prevented an agreement on any one course. Crank in the White House. Another crank turned tip at the White House Tuesday in the person of Owen Jones, hailing from New Y'ork State. lie Lad previously addressed a threatening letter to the White House, so the olliccrs were on the watch for him. In an incoherent ami rambling fashion that plainly showed a disordered mind he announced he had come for employment as the President's 1m.v. He was promptly removed to the nearest police station, where it is probable that he will be examined as to Lis mental condition and placed in safety. Deadly I'xplosiort. in n Mine. Tuesday afternoon a terrific explosion of gas oictirrcd at Wilkesharre in the Porram-e mine, and at 8 o'clock live men. all badly burned, and seven dead bodies were brought to the surface. It is thought one of the engineers, probably the Ore boss. laniel Heese, set tire to a lody of gas in the old workings, which resulted in the explosion. Heroic work was done by the rescuers, but the the boss party had all been killed by lire damp immediately atter the explosion. Mahone Passes Away. General William Mahone died at hi home in Washington at 1 oYlork Tuesday afternoon. He had been failing steadily since he was stricken with paralysis nearly a week ago, and it was known that death was only a question of time. The veteran, however, showed remarkable vitality and made a strong fight against the grim angel. Fatal Fire in a Tenement House. A four-story tenement house at Gin cinnati. Ohio, burned at midnight Tuesday. Mrs. Mary Holmes was killed. Five were fatally, and several less seriously hurt. Thomas O'Fhilierty jumped from the fourth story window into a net held by the police without injury to limb. NEWS NUGGETS. The jury in the embezzlement case of George A. F.h'er at Diiluih disagreed.

James Stinaman. a farmer residing fourteen miles east of Greenville, Ohio, died Tuesday. His house and outbuildings caught tire and were consumed, and the exertion in trying to save the contents resulted in heart failure. Loss $ri,000; no insurance. The Fnitcd States steamer Marion, at San Francisco, received orders to sail fur Talcugiiana. Chile. It is believed that she is going to Chile to enforce several claims that the American Consul at Taleuguana recently made in behalf of citizens of the United States against the Chilean Government.

The North Nebraska Methodist conference, by unanimous vote, enacted the Hamilton amendment and declared in favor of the admission of women to the general conference on an equal footing with u en. The National Woman's Protective Association has concluded its second annual convention in Denver.

Keorts of Chi ago public school principals of the enrollment of pupils for September gives gratifying evidence of the substantial growth of Chicago and evidence not so gratifying of the inability of the Hoard of Education to provide suitable school accommodations for the large number of new pupils. The total enrollment is 1S'".74!. an increase of 11.1! 2 over the enrollment for September, 1N'L To accommodate the rapid and steady growth in school attendance about twenty new buildings are erected annually and forty have licen hniit since Jan. 1, JN?U. Hut in spite of this activity the rermris for the last month show that the schools ' are so crowded that although sittings are rented in other buildings for 11, (KM pupils, there ore 10.11! I win are unable to fit more than half a day's hoollng daily. A teiii'tornry floor gave wny nt the ceremony of laying the corner sUae of Jl

new St. Mary's Catholic Church at Lorain, Ohio, Sunday precipitating many men, women and children into the base

Fully ."00 persons were thrown into the pit fymiil by the sagging in the middle of tiiti floor. The old Catholic church an 1 parochial school were at once turnul into hospitals. A score of doctors were called, and they were kept buy for hours caring for the injured, several of whom will die. The accident was due to defective timbers. The contractor was told the platform was insecure, but he said it would hold all the people that could be crow de l upon it. The Cnitcd States Government, represented by United States District Attorney .lohn C. Hlack and National Hani; Examiner .lohn C. Mclveon, Friday took steps at Chicago to teach defaulting bank employes a salutary lesson. Harry J. L. Martin, for four years teller of the Com mercial National Hank, was arrested on. a warrant sworn out by .Mr. -McKeon, charging him with embezzling $-1.10.

Joseph II. Wilson, paying teller of the Illinois National Hank. who. with Receiving Teller Renjamin Jones, stole $1J,(MK) of that concern's money, was dumfounded when placed under at rest, as the guarantee company which was on his bond and personal friends had made good the amount he stole from the bank. Hut this is no palliation of.his offense in the eyes of the Government, and he will be prosecuted just as vigorously as if he had not returned one cent of the stolen money. The penalty is not less than five, nor more than ten, years' imprisonment. SOUTHERN. At Charleston. W. Ya.. A. J. Scott was hanged for the murder of his wife. At Cole City. (Ja..

Dr. Hooker, the private secretary ot Mgr. Satolli. has been appointed to the chair of ethics in the department of philosophy at the Roman Catholic University at Washington. Secretary OIney positively refuses to say anything touching any correspondence he has had or intends to have relative to the settlement of the Venezuelan boundary dispute, so it cannot be positively ascertained whether he has taken any steps recently to induce Great Uritain to si limit the matter to arbitration. It an he stated, however, that since Secretary Grcsham's death and up to a very recent date the department had nM made a single move in that direction. Hut inasmuch as Congress by resolution directed the executive to use its best efforts to bring the dispute to arbitration, it is very probable that, having in mind the near approach of the assembling of Congress, Secretary OIney has been giving the subject the attention it demands and is formulating his views to be communicated to Ambassador Rayard upon the return of the latter from his vacation in Scotland. The Hon. S. W. Lanioivux. Commissioner of the General Land Otliee. has made his annual report 1o the Secretary of the Interior. The decline of the landollice business, as noted in the last report, still continues. Compared with IS'. 4 there has been a decrease in land entries !,.." and of 0.0 10, is,; acres entered upon : a decrease of final entries to the number of 0.ÖSI and "'öil.Oöt' acres entered upon, and a decrease of cash receipts of $7."4.;70.

FOREIGN. While South African and other mining shares suffered a cousidet able decline Friday at London there was a suHicieiit rally before the close of the market to apparently show the bull control of the situation. All the markets were demoralized, heavy sales from Paris being the cause, as there is a desperat campaign going on there to freeze out the small fry. To this is aded the pronotuicc! opposition f th French Governnicnr. which is trying to stop the mad craze of the public to inwst in mines at a s.icrilice d" investiiicnts in rentes. The ultimate smash, however, is considered inevitable. A spell of intense heat in England culminated Tuesday in a sudden drop of 1!." degrees in b'inperature. Vnis was followed by a hiavy gab, which can sc I much damage along the coasts. Two steamers were driven ashore on the t reaclicrus Goodwin Sands. At llfraconibe, on the north coast f Devonshire, six would-hc life-savers wen drown'l while attempting t rescue the crew of the ketch Arabella, which was ashore in a dangerous position. Several vessels arc reported ashore on the Gore Sands. Their crews have been rescued by the lifeboatnieii. Thre' fishing-smacks hailing from RIackpool foundered, and in spite of the efforts which the lifchoat-mcu made t assist them five of the lishirmeii were drowned. Irving M. Scott, president of the Cnion iron works, is coming home n the China, which is due in San Francisco next week, but he is not bringing any contracts to build batlcships for the Japanese Government. On boarl the China is als Gen. Williams, one of the agents of th4 Cramps, who was in Japan for the same purKjse as Mr. Scott and whose mission

met with the same result. The Japanese Government lias not let any contracts for

additions to its navy to American or other foreign shipbuilders for the reason that until the imperial liet meets in November the Minister of Marine will not know just what money will be at his service. Kven after appropriations are made it is doubtful if any contracts will be made with American shipbuilders, at hast not for some time, the reason being that the people of the Mikado's empire have become si.Hblenly impressed with the idea that they can construct tlwir own battleships and cruisers. This decision, of course, shuts out Hritish and German shipbuilders as well from a slice of the Japanese maritim' patronage. A slight earthquake shok 'Wednesday added to the reign of terror prevailing at Constantinople. This, with the bloodshed and rioting, the imprisonment of about "0 Armenians, the killing of prisoners in edd blood and the presence of troops under arms at all points, is well calculate! to excite even the most phleg matic Turk.

The latest report from the Mariposa wreck shows her to U' still holding together. The weather is calm and the salvors are busy taking out the cargo. Indignation is increasing in St. John's over the charges of piracy made against Newfoundland lisherinen in connection with the wreck. The Gvernment will prohahly take prompt steps to secure a retraction of the falsehood. According to a re.ort to the State IVpartmont from Fnitcd States Consul Higelow at Honen, the world's production of wool available for comnurci was 1,1:I.nm.ooo kilograms, as against 1 .
