CUBAN REFORM DECREE
WILL BE DECLARED.
SPAIN YIELDS A LITTLE.
Th« Proposal! of Premier Ctatllf Said
to Hav* lleen Blgneri by the Queen
Regent In Council—Will Not
Walt on the Result of
Gen. Weylsr's Military
Oper.it Iona.
Madrid, Jan 18.—The queen regent
assented generally to the general out-
lines of the scheme for the Cuban re-
forms which Premier Canovas submit-
ted to her yesterday at a cabinet coun-
cil over which she presided. In ex-
plaining his plans the premier in-
formed the queen that he believed the
moment was fast approaching when if
would be both possible and expedient
to give Cuba more extensive reforms
than those recently granted to Porto
Rico.
The government has already drawn
up decrees which the ministers of the
colonies will promulgate. They em-
body all that can be done within the
terms of the law voted by the Cortes.
The council of state will be consulted
shortly concern!* it another decree to
be issued by Premier Canovas himself
to grant to both Cuba and Porto Rico
still greater concessions in the shape
of self-government. The Cortes will
be invoked to ratify this act, of which
the executive assumes the responsi-
bility
With a view to promoting the pacifi-
cation ot the West Indies, general am-
nesty for the political press and or-
dinary offenders will be proclaimed
on the little king's birthday. January
23; and the Madrid newspapers believe
the Cuban reforms will be pub hed
tarly in February without awa ing
the results of the military operations
which (ieneral Weyler is now pushing
more actively. The government will
not undertake tariff reforms in the
West Indies apart from the p 1 ical
and administrative concessions, be-
cause the wishe> of the colonies in that
regard clat>h seriously with the Span-
ish trade and interests.
MONEY AFTER LEE.
Write* a Sharp Latter to tha Americas
Consul (ieneral In Havana.
Washington, Jan. 18.—"I desire to
know whether or not the denial of my
statement to Secretary Olney on your
behalf was authorized by you. I have
always regarded you as a gentleman,
and as 1 aiu not accustomed to having
the lie given to my statements, I de-
sire an explanation."
This, if not the exact language, is at
least close to the words employed in a
letter which Congressman Money, of
Mississippi, has sent to Consul General
Lee. The difference between the two
gentlemen grows out of the statement
made by Congressman Money to
Secretary Olney as coming from (Jen.
Lee, which was in effect that since
his return to Cuba (ieneral Lee was
more than ever convinced that the
Spanish would never be able to put
down the rebellion. The publication
of this important piece of information
was followed a few days after by a
denial purporting to have come from
General Lee that he had given Con-
gressman Money any such message for
Secretary Olney as Mr. Money deliv-
ered. The publication of this denial
has angered Mr. Money, and he has de-
termined to have an explanation.
He has stated to friends that his
personal character and official position
would not permit him to stand brand-
ed as hav.ng uttered a falsehood in
such an important matter as that of a
message from the consul general of
Cuba to the secretary of state.

The Western Seamen's Friends Society
Vlgorouidjr Attack m Senate Bill.
Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 18.—Senators
Frye and Hale, who are responsible
for the Senate substitute for the House
bill No. 2,603, which restores flogging
in the merchant marine, are being se-
verely condemned by representatives
of the 300,000 members of the Western
Seamen's society and various branches.
At a meeting of the local trustees of
the organization, the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Western Sea-
men's Friend's society, with its nu-
merous branches along the lakes from
buffalo to Duluth and on the rivers
from Pittsburg to New Orleans, in-
cluding 200,f)00 sailors and river men,
protest against the Senate substitute
for House bill No. 2,663, which restores
flogging in our merchant marine,
changing entirely the nature of the
bill now before Congress, which was
intended to alleviate some of the worst
feature's of poor Jack's life.
Resolved, That we are astonished
that such men as Senators Frye and
Hale should be the authors of so bar-
barous a ciause.
"Kesolved. That we ask that our gen-
eral superintendent correspond with
the American Seaman's Friend society
and other independent and denomina-
tional seamen's societies throughout
the country urging them to call mass
meetings and protest against this bill."
BLUE FOR LEADVILLE.
Pumps May Soon He Palled Oat of Ike
Hlf Mines—Prospects Dreary*
Leadvillk, Colo., Jan. is.—The pull-
ing out of the big pumps in the Maid
of Erin mine, which has been definite-
ly determined upon bv the owners,
Moffatt A Smith, will cause the closing
down in a short time of nearly every
large silver, lead snd iron mine here.
The determination to pull the pumps
is owing to the fsilure of the owners
of wet mines to agree to pay for the
pumping, which costs over 96,000 a
week.
Oovernor Adams and H V. Del at are
both in the camp and are actively
working to bring a tout an agreement
between the atrikers and mine opera-
tors. Mine owners affree that if a set-
tlement shall not be reached Lead villa
will Iwcome a second-rate mining

Claimed to He an Ks-Priest and
Delivered Lectures That He
Alleged Were Exposures
of Catholicism*
Liberty, Mo., Jan. 18.—Ii. T. Bon-
man, who had been attending Will-
iam Jewell college and who was an
ordained preacher, disappeared from
here December 12. The faculty of the
college did not have confidence in him
and he was suspected of stealing books
from the library. His room was searched
and about $50 worth of the missing
books were found. The discovery was
kept quiet and when he returned yes-
terday he was at once arrested. He
claims that he bought the books from
another student, lie was arraigned be-
fore a justice of the peace and bond
was fixed at 3350 which he could not
give and he was placed in jail.
Bibles and other religious books be-
longing to the college and to the stu-
dents that Honman sold to people have
been recovered.
Konman said he had been to Fulton
and other points in the state preach-
ing. He preached regularly at small
towns in Clay county last year. He
also claimed to be an ex-pri«st and de-
livered lectures that he alleged were
exposures of Catholicism.

Th* Action of th. Kan.a. Hon.. Held
Not to Be Fetal.
TorEKA, Kan., Jan. 18.—The resub-
missionists of the House have again
plucked up courage, and, despite their
defeat of yesterday, are again hopeful
that they ultimately will secure the
adoption of a resolution resubmitting
the prohibitory amendment to a vote
of the people. It lias dawned upon
them that the resolution camo from
the wrong side of the lluuse.
The Populiats are determined that
no political legislation shall eoine from
the Republican side of the house and
when Mr. Seaton showed a disposition
to push his resolution from that side
they turned in without regard to in-
dividual sentiment and voted to send
It to the temperance committee
Speaker I'ro-Tempore Weilep saya
that another reason the resolution waa
referred to the tompcrance committee
is that on the Popullat side it has been
agreed that all legislation must be
done in the regular way and therefore
the proposition to refer the resolution
directly to the committee of the whole
was voted down.
To Inrreaa* th* Army Effective.
Washington, Jan. 18.—The House
committee on military affairs has au-
thorized a favorable report on the bill
to enable regiments of th* regular
army to be tilled up and increased in
time of war to twice their ordinary
strength by the addition of recruit*.
It also provides that the President
may designate a state or states from
which a certain regiment shall draw
recruits. Such recruita are to b*
counted as forming a part of the quota
called for by the girverniuent.

daya of continuous travel Judge Jo-

here early this morning. Askad as to
whether he had come here nt th* so-
licitation of the President-elect, ha re-
plied: "While I always desira to do
all I can for the newspapers, 1 moat
decline to answer that question."
"How long will you be In tha city.
Judge?"
"Oh, maybe a day or two; maybe not
so long; 1 can't tell."
In further conversation the Judge
admitted that he waa fully aware that
his name had been mentioned in con-
nection with a cabinet portfolio, but
said he did not know that any mora
than that would transpire. Asked aa
to a preference, if be were asked to
express one. for a cabinet position, he
said: "That I must alio decline to
state. You know lawyers are given
the right to object even before a ques-
tion is answered. Naturally to lawyers
the secretaryship of the treasury aad
the attorney generalship would da
preferable. The interior is also a de-
sirable place. Some of the beat cab-
inet officers the country has ever had
have been lawyers, who occupied tha
navy and other portfolios."
