Much of the correspondence in posses-

of reports and letters from United
States consuls in Cuba. Necessarily
their contents are confidential in their
nature, and their publication might
subject the consuls t< personal violence
cmd at least would win for them the
enmity of the parties to the war and
•destroy their usefulness as officers.

| Now York, Jan. 23.—The World's copy-
i right sneclal from Caracas, Venezuela,
I says;
Michael McTurk, the head magistrate
I of B \tish Guiana, who has been iden-
tified for years with the usurption of
Venezuela territory, has been relieved
of his magisteral duties in order that
he may command an expedition charged
wfcth fortifying the entire length of the
Cuyuni river lying in the disputed ter-
ritory. This news has caused a great
stir here.
El Liberal, In a leading editorial, calls
■the attention of the government to the
military preparations on the Guiana
frontier, which, although London de?
nies it, are actively going forward. On
the British Island of Trinidad the forts
are being repaired and the militia is be-
ing drilled in the method of handling the
navy guns.
In the name of the people of Venezue-
la, the government is asked to fortify
Amacuo, Cangrejes and Cuyuni, on the
frontier, in order to be ready for war if
arbitration fails. The moral effect of
increasing the military strength woulc
be to unite the country, it is argued, and
command the respect of President Cres-
po's bitterest enemies. The English plan
is believed to fortify the disputed terri-
tory while the American commission Is
Investigating, and If Its report !s adverse
to Great Britain, to be prepared to hold
it forcibly.
Ex-President Guzman Blanco denies
that there is a conspiracy against Ven-
ezuela. He pronounces the story of It
the work of enemies at a time when all
Venezuelans owe their support to Presl
dent Crespo against a common enemy.
The news of the proposed adoption
and definition of the Monroe doctrine by
the United States congress has aroused
great enthusiasm here.
WOI'COTT IS ALL VKRY WELL
Hat American* Remain Solid In the De
mand for A rl 11 ration.
London, Jan. 28.—The Chronicle, with
reference to the Venezuela question,
congratulates the Times on the canaot
and open-mlndedness which has led In-
to the rational path that the two great
countries are now pursuing. The
Chronicle then proceeds:
"Only do not let us deceive ourselves,
It Is very pleasant to read such speech-
es as that of Senator Walcott but Amer-
ica is absolutely solid for arbitration
over Venezuela and arbitration we can-
not and will not refuse."
The Graphic, commenting upon the
welcome change In the official attitude
of America, thinks that "we cannot
loin the commission, but it is not tgo
late for America to urge Venezuela to
accept our offer for arbitration. If it
went against us we might then agree to
the arbitration of the Schomhurgk line.

Havana, Jan. 23.—General Pando
speaks in the highest terms of the bra-
very and courage of the Spanish troops
in his command. H says that the raw
joung soldiers endured hunger and
fthirst, sickness and fatigue, without
complaint, and that no troops in the
world could have behaved better or
cccomplished more under the circum-
stances. In this statement, It may be
sustained by
sses
f the operations against the insurgents
The whole trouble «.■< ins to be summed
up in the fact that the Span: h infantry
although well handled and brave, has
(been unable to cope su cessfully with
(the equally well handled and bravo
ftnountcd Insurgents, but General Pando j +ore
claims that in spite of this, if the in-
surgents can be driven to fight a pitch-
ed battle, the Spaniards will defeat
it hem In short order, even though the
enemy may be In large number.
Concerning the advance of the Insur-
gents army under J.>:- Macco and Habl
Pando says that this force was trying
to convey westward a considerable
quantity of arms, ammunition and oth-
er supplies, intended for the insurgents
in this province and Plnar del Rio.
ftut, the general added, Ma ceo and Habl
have been engage d seven times with the
Spaniards since they entered the prov-
ince of Santa Clara, and a cons de ibit
portion of tfhe war material has been
either captured or lost en route. 'Phe
6panl*h troops are being massed across
•the line of march which the second
army of the insure uts is expected to
follow, and General Pando anticipates
•that they will be abl ■ to prevent Junc-
itlon with the lnaurgt nta under General
florae*.

Washington, Jan. 21.—A t the Brazil
ian legation today It was said that
nothing was known regarding the re
por trom Rio Janerio that a Brazilian
corvette had sailed for Trinidad to take
possession of that island, which is in
dispute between Great Britain and Bra
zil.
Regarding the report that the repub
11c of Argentine is about to reopen and
press a claim of long standing as to
ownership of the Falkland islands, in
view of the stand taken by President
Cleveland on the Venezuela boundary
dispute, Senor Domlnguez, the charge
d' affaires at the Argentine legation
here, said that he had received no in
formation from his government on the
subject.
The report that Argentine would send
e specially accredltcd minister to the
United States to urge the matter,
said, probably grew out of the fact that
Argentine at present has no fully ac
credited representative In this country
but that one was soon to be appointed
in the ordinary channel of diplomacy

Senator lYolrott Delivers a tireat Speech

Washington, Jan. Ill—The senate ses-
sion today was marked by notable
specehes and notable debates. Late in
the afternoon a controvesry occurred
between Mr. Sherman. Mr. Gorman, Mr-
Teller and others, which led to the most
spirited financial debate that has oc-
curred since the present congress con-
vened. Mr. Sherman spoke at length
end with great earnestness, depicting
the thrusting of an "old worn out is-
sue"—the silver question—into the sen-
ate at a time when practical legisla-
tion was imperative. Mr. Teller and
Mr. Gorman answt red Mr. Sherman
from their respective standpoints*
while Mr. Aldrlch. Mr. Lindsay, Mr.
Gray and others took part In the excit-
ing debate.
Mr. Wo lcott's speech criticising the
president's attitude on the Venezuelan
question was the notable event of the
early part of the day. For an hour
the senator commanded tlie attention
of a crowded chamb<; r and overflowing
galleries.
Two Important reports were made by
the committee on foreign affairs, one
strongly presenting th- serious condi-
tion of affairs in Turkey and urging
prompt action by the civilized powers,
and an adverse report on Mr. Call's
resolution calling for th • ofllciai dis-
patches of United States consuls in
Cuba.

was due, d<o- less, to the character of
charges mad '< y the accusing parties.
Dr. J. H. . Ion was arraigned for
"manufacturing and exploding deadly
bombs, Intended to destroy life and
property." It seems that the doctor
had either assisted or advised in explod-
ing such for outside amusement, which
cause the disturbance.
County Attorney Fall reduced the
charge to simple "disturbance of i>eace."
The Jury disagreed. The re-trial was
set for the 21st instant, and resulted
in a compromise between the represen-
tative attorneys, Dr. Ballon agreeing to
pay a one dollar fine and a small part
of the costs.
He Is well respected here and is th«

Mr. Teller said this bowed the entire
absence of any philosophical monetry
system. Here was a proposition which
would destroy the parity of the metals,
and yet, it was offered off hand by a
member of the finance committee. It

committee did not necessarily give a
man complete knowledge of finance.
Mr. Teller arraigned the policy of is-
suing bonds with a view, he said, to
building up a permanent bonded debt
to be borne by posterity.
MR. SHERMAN ARISES.
Mr. Sherman arose as soon as Mr.
Teller closed The silver discussion
said Mr. Sherman, was purely a moot
discussion. No doubt there was a silv-
er majority in the senate. But the
country had settled down to the idea
that free silver coinage would bring us
to a single standard of silver and was
undesirable. State after state had ta-
ken this position. The use of both
metals, the bimetallic system, waa be-
ing accepted as the best. Under the
circumstances, continued Mr. Sherman,
•the thrusting of this worn out old ques-
tion, which could not hope to succeed
in the present emergency of the treat
Ury, was idle, it was absolutely certain
that this silver am iidnc'iit, if passed,
would be rejected by the house. Why
thus obstruet the relief Imperatively
needed by the government. The defic-
!ency had caused the trouble, and the
louse had offered an emergency tariff
>111 to overcome that deficiency Such
fellef should not be delayed and ob-
structed by thrashing out an old worn
Subject.
Mr. Cockrell asked if Mr. Sherman
meant to say that the relief as propose#
Was what the ex cutIve had aiked.
NON!*] OF HIS BUSINESS.
Mr. Sherman said that it was not for
{he executive to determine upon the
nature of the revenue legislation. That

At this point there was a colloquy.
Mr. Gray (Dem., Del.) asked Mr.
Sherman where this tariff bill was.
Mr. Bhennan—I refer the gentleman
to the senator on his right (Jones ol
Arkansas.)
Mr. Jones—That bill is in th" hands of
« Republican committee on finance.
Mr. Sherman That finance commit-
/tee Is today practically Democratic.
One member of the cminlttee, Jon- s oi
Nevada, has sev re I himself for tho
time from the Republican members ol
the committee. But it - important to

on the finance committee will author-
ize a report at any time.
Mr. Teller asked if Mr. Sherman
thought the bond bill would afford re-
lief.
Mr. Sherman answ red that he did
The government bad suffered heavy
losses from selling 1 per cent bonds and
this afforded an opportunity for .'1 per
cent bonds. Mr. Teller asked how Ions
it was Intended to k. p up the sale of
bonds.
Mr. Sherman -As long as It Is neces-
sary to meet the government's needs
caused by the course of this administra-
tion.
"In the meantime." continued Mr.
Sherman, "the Kepubll- an party stands
hero ready to d • Its duty, to pay the
public debt, to overcome deficiency, to
raise sufficient revenues."

Cleveland Uanis No Senator Putting Frill
on That Document.
New York. Jan. 23.—A special to the
World from Washington tonight says:
President Cleveland has authorized
Senator Smith of New Jersey to make
public his opinion of the Davis resolu-
tion reported by the senate commKteo
on foreign relations. The president's
opinion is that " regard the Davis res-
olution as mischievous, inopportune and
unfortunate."
Mr. Cdleveland believes that the pol-
icy adopted by the senate committee
Strikes at the heart of the principles
of arbitration.
Senator Smith has prepared a resolu-
tion declaring that the United States
does not Intend to establish a protecto-
rate In South America, nor to become
responsible in any degree for the con-
duct of other American nations. He
discussed the substance of the resolu-
tion with the president today.
Secretary Olney has privately ex-
pressed his disapproval of the action of
the senate.
