New York. Dec. 8. The World pub-
lishes the following Interviews on the
views of prominent Cubans on the
President's message:
Picdel Plerot of the Junta "Tho
message Is an enigma and n puzzle. I
should have a far higher regard for
Mr. Cleveland had he simply announced
that the United States government ivni
opposed to tho cause of human liberty
and sympathized with Spain's efforts
to crush the revolution. The mossago
will not make a partlele of difference
one way or the other so far as tho rev-
olution is concerned. If the soldiers
of Gomez and Maceo reallzo that
the measure means that tho United
States will not raise a linger to stop
Wcyler's butcheries tlioy will fight
with that terrible energy that is bora
of despair. Cleveland's talk about
autonomy only shows how little ho
really knows of the real stato of af-
fairs. The idea of autonomy is dead.
Scarcely anyone in Cuba even among
the Spanish themselves consldors it
seriously The autonomist party went
to pieces months ago. For us now
there are left only the two alternatives
- independence or extermination."
Dr. Henry (I. Zuviis "Tho presl-
dcut'b message is decidedly unsatisfac-
tory to both sides. The Cubans had a
riirht to expect more but tho consola
tion remains that he treats Spain with
the scorn which she deserves for her
weak and cruel rule. Toward the end
the president promises that at some
future time his attitude will be clearly
defined. Let us hope then that he
will act in accordance with the ex-
pressed wish of the American people'
Dr. Rafael Navarro of the Cuban sun-
Itary corps "Cleveland does not say
anything In his message; he does not
mean to say anything It Is wotds
words and only words. My hope Is In
Congress."
Delegate Estrada Palmaand Joaquin
Castillo declined to be Interviewed but
dcclnrcd through thoir secretaries
that they would Issue an otllclal state-
ment within a short lime.

Washington Dee. 8. Comment- in
the senate on the message were gen-
erally favorable to the tenor of th.
message on the Cuban question ihouvh
thcro were some opposing view- ex-
pressed. A large number of a.-urrs
including a majority of the members
of tho committee on foreign reluH.in-..
excused themselves from expivinir
opinions on the ground that they hl
not given It careful ruadlng.
Senator Tillman (Dem. S CM It
is commonplace. After promising n i
to go into detail ho goes in rather
elaborately. The best thing nlnuit t
Is that it is tho last we will have fro n
that source at least the last hiiiuiuI
message."
Mr. Morgan '-The message calls the
great civil war an Insurrection uml u-i
this false declaration justifies m-tiv
aid to Spain in furnishing all kin !- of
military munitions while It refuses o ir
people tho right to send anything even
bread or medicine to the lusurgeni?
I regret that this national action is so
illogical and uuiust."
Mr. Hltt of Illinois chairman of fie
committee on foreign affairs declined
diplomatically to give any expression
upon the president's message
i Representative Livingston (Dem..
Ga.l "Tho president has made a full
ana unquestionable showing In his
messuge of the necessity for our Inter-
ference in Cuba now. The inetojaire
will not be Indorsed by this American
people. Its tone is too foreign.
Representative Lacey (Itop. la.)
"Presidont Cleveland is ovldently anx-
ious to pass tho Cuban question over
to Major McKinloy. Thorv 1 no real
solution of tho question embraced in
his message except that Spain had bet-
ter sell Cuba before the property is nil
destroyed."
Mr. Dolliver (Itop. Iowa) -'1110
President's treatment of the Cuban
question is hardly satisfactory either
to those who defre to so. Cuban inde-
pendence recognized or th chis who
desire the United States to keep clear
of foreign disputes. Mediation b the
United States would bo in the direction
of a settlement honorable 10 nil partiet.
but tho President's hint of whut Is

refused Is a little too mysterious for
practical purposes."

A REPORT BY OLNEY.
Trammlttcd to Congrcit With the l're.l-
dent's Melange.
Wasiunotox Dec 3. For tho Urst
tlmo within tho memory of tho oldest
officials the secretary of state has
made a regular report to tho president
for transmission to congress liko tho
reports of other members of tho cabl-
not. Tills report was laid before con-
gress as an appendix to the president's
message. It treats on many details of
our relations during the past year with
foreign governments that either woro
not touched upon at nil in the message
or were only briefly treated.
Under tho head of Spain Secretary
Olney has much to say in regard to
Cuba and in his report he iets out in
great detail the story of the growth of
the rebellion tho present stato of af-
fairs on the Island and other facts upon
which tho President bases his broad
statement nnd conclusions
The secretary's estimate of tho pres-
ent situation is disclosed In tho follow-
ing paragraph made after a prelim-
inary statement of tho destruction of
the industrial resources of Cuba:
"From whatever point of view wo
regard tho matter It Is Impossible not
to discern that a state of things exists
at our doors alike dangerous to good
relations destructive of legitimate
commerce fatal to the Industrial re-
Bourses of Cuba and most vexatious
and trying because entailing upon
this government excessive bunions In
Its domestic administration and in Its
outward relatlous. This situation
cannot Indefinitely continue without
growing still worse and tho tlmo may
not be far distant when the United
States must seriously consider its
rights and Interests ns woli as its In-
ternational duties."
As bearing upon the question of lee-
ognitlon of the Insurgents which is to
come In some shape before Congress
the following statement from Secre-
tary Olney is of importance In explain-
ing his reasons for declining recogni-
tion: "So fur as our information shows
there is not only no effective local
government by the insurgents in the
territory they overrun but there is
not oven a tangible pretense to es-
tablished administration anywhere.
Their organization confined tb shift-
ing exigencies of military operations
of the hour Is nomadic without
definite centers aud lacking the most
elementary features of municipal pov-
ernnient. There nowhoro appears tho
nucleus of statehood. The machinery
for exercising the legitimate rights
and powers of sovereignty nnd respond-
ing to the obligations which tie facto
sovereignty entails in the face of equal
rights of other states Is conspicuously
lacking. "

Status circuit uourl yesterday morn-
ing separata opinions of the qituntlon
of jurisdiction In the Santa IV noelv-
urshlp case While the two hail sepm-
ate hearings of the ease they followed
the auiiio linos of argument In reaching
thoir conchuions and agree that the
case should bo reman K-d to the state
court for trial upon Its ineriU.
The opinions hold Unit there are
three points to bo decided: liethor
the statute is constitutional; whether
the statute was properly pnsod by tho
Legislature; whether the statute ap-
plies to railroads.
At the outset of Judge Foster's opin
ion Judge inayer concurring the fol-
lowing Is stated: "This statute is. In
some respects a remarkable one and
It It means all that has U-i-u claimed
for It by the attorneys temporarily
speaking for the state in this case I
might say It Is most ulunning in its
possibilities but with the merits of the
controversy Involved we are not now
concerning ourselves."
Ily the decisions further appeal from
the district court must be to the su-
preme court of tho stute thence to the
supreme court of the United Suites
Charles Wood Smith who filed the
Inter-pleader for the Union Trust com-
pany of New York siijs that under
the stipulation a hearing of the i use
on Its merits will be had before Judge
Myers at Oskaloosa. at once. He looks
for a beginning to bo made this week.

LuxiROTOx Mo. Dee 8. Searching

of .lease Winner and James Nelson the
men taken from tho jail here by a mob
from Buy county nbout a half mile
from the river in Bay county on the
Richmond road at 7 o'clock yesterday
morning suspended from a limb on a
small burr oak tree with their hands
tied behind them. The men had been
pulled up and death resulted from
strangulation.
Deputy Sheriff Richard Green ar-
rived In this city yesterday morning
with Lou Lackey the other man con-
nected with tho murder and lodged
him In jail hero but left last evening
with him for Kansas City where he
was be placed in jail for safe keeping.
After crossing the river the mob
took Winner and Kelson about half a
mile up the road that leads to Lexing-
ton Junction. At a point known us
the "railroad pond" a huge lire had
been built. Here they stopped. It Is
one of the most dismal places in Ray
county nnd u fit place for such a trag-
edy to be euuetcd. The road on either
side is skirted by a dense aud almost
Impenetrable growth of timber and
underbrush. The mob had prcvlousiv
intended so it is said to hanif Winner
and Nelson until they wcro nearly
dead and then throw them into the
flro illid burn them but when they
reached tho spot they decided that
they did not have time to put their
original plan Into execution so they
proceeded to hang them.
After tying tho ropes around the
necks of the two men they were asked
If thc had anything to say. Winner

statement of a man who says he was
an eye witness made u full confession
of his part in the crime. He said that
he came back to thu house on the night
of the murder and after his wife es
eapi'd from the house he struck her
over the head with u club and think-
ing he would muke eertaln of hur
death he split her head open with
an ax.

when he felt tho rope tighten about iils

throats of thu twoi-hllilu-u. The brutes
went then drawn up until tlidi fiet

some time to muke sure that thtt men
were dead the mob started for I! loll-
