After banking $£35,000 in San I'rancisco, he started out to have a good time on the remaining $13,000, He spent four months in the Kastern and Southern cities, spending the larger part of his pocket money. The other night he left Port Townsend, Wash., on the steamer City of Topeka on his return to the | Alaskan gold fields. While the steamer | was lyving at the wharf he amused him- | self by throwing double handfuls of silder | dollars at the boys on the wharf. Feery boy who could hit the eccentric Alaska miner with a snowball received a landful of coin in return. Wilborg appeared to enjoy the sport as much as the boys, As the boat pulled out from the wharf he pelted the boys with money. WASHINGTON, —r—— In the Senate Wednesday Senator Sher- | man reported back the Cthan resolutions and moved that the Housce amendment to the Senate resolutions be nonconcurred in and that a conference committee be | appointed. The motion was agreed to and the Vice DPresident appointed Senators f Sherman, Morgan and Lodge a confer- | ence committee, : Congressman Woodman, of Chicago, sayvs Washington on Sunday is the dull- | est town in America. He said: *“l've triedd Washington Sunday after Sunday | and there is absolutely no place to go to. 1 So I tried a trip to Alexandria for a | change.

Merritt's staff is willing to be | quoted in the matter, as the secrecy that | is being observed at Washington enjoins gilence, but it was said that the President | contemplates sending a commission to the island, with Gen. Merritt at its head. This idea of a commission is such a favor- (‘ ite method with the President out of just | such dificulties as the Caban affair that it would surprise few if he adopted M.

I only desire to say in addition that 1 do not know whether the publication referred to represcnts the views of the administration on the Cuban question or not, and that I never have found any difficulty in communicating with the people in a manner which leaves no doubt of the authenticity of any statement which purports to represent my views."” FOREIGN, The steamship Anstralia arrived at San Francisco from Honolulu, bringin: news that Morrow and Underwood, the men who were charged with conspiracy to restore the queen to the throne, were acquitted. Fire broke out in the Cleophas coal mine at Kattowitg, Prussian Silesia, Wednesday. The bodies of twenty-one vietims were recovered, but the fate of the miners entombed, numbering about 100, is uncertain. 4 Up to Thursday morning seventy-one bodies of vietims of the Cleophas coal mine disaster at IKattowitz, Prussian Silesia. have been brought to the surface. These include the bodies of four velunteers who had been engaged in the work of rescue and who were overcome by the heat caused by the fire in the mine. It iy believed that about fifty miners are stili unaccounted for. o A dispatch to the London Morning Post from Paris reports the text of a letter from Menelek, the Negus of Abyssinia, to M. De Lonce, editor of Le Sieele, written prior to the battle of Adowa, offering to accept the arbitration of Leopold, King of the Belgians. The correspondent believes that this offer still holds. good, but King Leopolld declines to act unless he is asked to do so by Italy, which is impossible. Spain's attitude toward the United States in connection with the Cuban question is regarded at St. Petersburg as ridiculous. The Lisbon correspondent of the Londen Times telegraphs thiat the attitude of the Spanish Governnient 1 regard to the Cuban difficulty is uvaanimously approved in Portugal, and he quotes the Commercio of Lisbon as saying: “The proceedings of the (nited States are unigue and unexampled in history, and will canse a complete disturb- | ance of international rights unless all the nations of Europe rise and join Spain.” There were renewed disturbances at Madrid Wednesday and demonstrations of popular anger against the United States Government. The students of the univer sity seem to have been the offenders ov the leaders in the demonstration In spite of the special prohibition directed against them by the Government, the students and other inhabitants indulged in reneweg] manifestations of their unfriendly sentiments against the United States. They assembled before the Madrid University and there publicly burned an Ameriqan flag. The police dispersed the meeting

Renewed | demonstrations were made Thursday and | & mob stoned the United States consulate at Valencia in spite of the precautions of | the authorities and the alertness of the | police. The Honduras Government has declared the departments of Tegucigalpa, Paz, Valle, Choluteca, Paraiso, Olancho and Colou under martial law. This step has ‘been taken as a result of the revolution of the Leonists against the Government of President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, and a possibility of trouble there. Rafael Montora, leader of the Autono- | mist home-rule party in Cuba, a brilliant lawyer, a Cuban devoted to the interests of the island and a man of exalted char‘ccter, in an interview at Havana, said: ‘I am amazed at the speeches in the United States Senate. That body has a right to declare sympathy for the Cuban rebellion if it chooses, but that great statesmen should employ the language they did passes my comprehension. L recall nothing published from any reliable or responsible authority proving the frightful allegations against Gen, Weyler made in the Senate and throughout the United States, Neither have I ever heard the stories seriously narrated as facts by any responsible per--son. 1 have heard all manner of rumors on the subject, but never anything to lead me to accept them as true. Ido not believe the charges,” * Rome dispatch: Premier Crispi and his associates in the ministry have resigned, and their resignations have been accepted by the king. In spite of the strong force of troops and police present about the chamber of deputies Thursday it was with difficulty that order was maintained., As it was, the soldiers and police were frequently jostled by the excited populace, and had it not been for the great forbearance displayed by the authorities many serious disturbances wounld have occurred. The crowds about Monte Citorio, upon which the chamber of deputies stands, every now and again raised cries of “Down with the Government,” “Death to Baratieri,” ete., and from the galleries, previous to the entry of the ministers, a number of persons were ejected by the police for uttering similar cries. Throughout the kingdom mobs of men, women and children have torn up railroad tracks to prevent the movement of the reserve troops. The populace is determined that operations in Abyssinia shall cease, i Capt, Gen. Weyler, the commander in chief, said: *I have no information from the Government at Madrid upon its views, and I will not therefore discuss a subjeet of such extremely delicate diplomatic importance. 1 will say, however, that a nation which I always supposed to be friendly to Spain has takenwsteps through itsa Congress to recognize as honorable enemies people who burn, steal and degtr,y; who heng 1 peaceful citizen for attempting to pursue his lawful business the referred to the case of Ulacia, who was banged by insurgents at Tive Tivo) | and who fight by destroving the property ‘ of noncombatauts, I can understand the sentimentis which lead the United States Congress to do what it has done, If ree. ‘ ognition of belligerency is formally de- | elared American property will lose the | legal rights of protection by my soldiers

A now »njoys. There ar»extensive Amerfean interests here, and if the United States recognizes the rebels it relieves my Government and myself from responsibility." Violent scenes were enacted Wednesday at Rome and different points all.over Italy, The whole country seems to be in the hands of the aroused populace, indignant at the Government for the overwhelming | disaster to the Italian army in Abyssinia. Popular demonstrations of the most violent character have occurred throughout the Italian peninsula. At Milan 30,000 persons took part in the disorders, which amounted to a popular uprising. The police were forced to charge through the streets with fixed bayonets before they succeeded in dispersing the mob., It is known that a large number of persons were injured, more or less severely. The public gatherings were addressed by ora- | tors, who made violent speeches ngainst the constitution and against the ministerial poliey in Abyssinia and who were greeteéd with wild acclamations. At Pavia the population turned out en masse to protest against the dispatch of further troops to Africa. The soldiers were forced out of the cars in which they had taken their places preparatory to departure, and the mob then tove up the rails along the track and made the soldicrs promise not to leave the town. There were many demoustrations at other points against further operations in Afriea. MARKET REPORTS.
