HILL OPPOSES THEM
Regards Cuban Resolutions
as Mischief-Breeders.
THIRD CLAUSE OBJECTIONABLE
'It Sounds lilke a Threat, but tt im
Buncombe" Sherman ftlakes
Another Speech.
Washington. March 12. After an
hoar consumed in clearing away routine
matters the Cuban resolutions were laid
before the senate, and Hill was recog
nized. He pointed out that this being a con
ference report the resolutions could not
be amended. He would therefore vote
against the report, in order that at some
subsequent time the amendments might
be made. The- senator particularly ob
jected to the third clause of the resolu
tions, stating that the United States had
not intervened in the struggles between
any Europeon governments and their
colonies, but owing to the proximity of
Cuba the United States should be pre
pared to intervene. This he declared
ambiguous. We had intervened and re
cognized countries which bad been
colonies of Spain. What the resolutions
Bought to convey was a threat to inter
vene. To this extent the resolution was
unnecessary. It was subject to doubt
ful construction and a mischief breeder,
liable to compromise the United States.
The phrase the United States should be
prepared to protect the legitimate in
terests of our citizens by intervention,
sounded like a threat, but it was bun
combe.
"If this resolution raeaija we should
-increase our army, let us eay so Irankly
and frame a bill for that purpose," said
Hill. "If it means we should increase
our navy let us state it frankly and fear
lessly and frame a bill to that end. Let
us not indulge in idle boasts and threats
and doubtful phrases as to being pre
pared to protect legimate interests by
intervention."
At 2 o'clock there was a contest for
precedence between the Cuban reEolu
tions and the Dupont election case,
while Sherman addressed the senate in
support of the Cubau resolutions.
Sherman discussed at length the char
acter of the insurrection and the condi
tions existing in Cuba. It was not be
he said, to send a joint resolution to t
president, as that would compel him to
act in five days, and this was not judi
cious. He had confidence in the presi
dent. There were political differences
between them bnt, he added, "No one
doubts his courage; no one doubts his
fidelity to the flag of our country."
Sherman referred to Gen. Weyler as a
butcher, and said the conditions in Cu
ba were flagrant. If war does not exist
in Cuba, he asked, where on earth does
it exist?
Speaking of the demand for facts, he
said Senator Lodge had obtained from
Secretary Olney ample facts to justify
n f t r i
iue resolutions, Dut ior odvious reasons
could not be made. public.
At the conclusion of his speech the
Dupoint case was taken np, and Pritch
ard addressed the senate in favor of seat
ing Dupont.
STORY OF AN INSURGENT.
Cuban Kebels Well Pleased With Ex
" lstlne Conditions.
New York, March 12. Colonel Fred
enco Perez, chief of the staff of . Maceo,
is here on a secret mission. He will re
tarn to Caba in a few days. In an in
terview last night he said :
"When I left Cuba, Gomez and Maceo
were very well satisfied with the con
ditions existing and hoped to be able to
do something more decisive In the near
future. The raid through the central
provinces brought good results. The
Cubans gained arms, ammunition and

men. Many Spanish volunteers have
taken tbe field with them. In the east
ern part of the island over 1000 Spanish
soldiers have deserted to the Cubans.
"Since then there has been a reorgani
zation and Maceo and Gomez were abont
to unite their forces again. They now
have an army of about 25,000 men in tbe
central provinces. The Cubans have
throughout . the island about .60,000
armed men and about 40,000 partially
armed. Of the armed men about one
third are cavalry, who have plenty of
good horses. The Spanish mounted in
fantry are no match for them. Many of
the Spaniards are not able to ride, and
when they charge they cling with both
their hands to the pommels of their sad
dles and do not control their horses.
"Since General Weyler took control,
the Spaniards have done nothing. They
have a great many flying columns in the
field, but they are always at the rear
guard, following along, and never by
any chance coming in contact with the
vanguard. That is the reason that Ma
ceo was able to pass from the province
of Pinar del Rio to the province of Ha
vana without firing a shot, though the
Spanish army marched . through the
region. I was in the ten years' war,
and saw the Spaniards fight like demons.
Now there a change. They seem to
have no heart for their work. They
fight weakly, and do not seem to care
how the battle may go.
"The Spaniards appear very much de
moralized,, both on account of the move
ments of the Cubans and the action of
the American Congress. The resolu
tions passed by the house and senate
have given much joy to the Cuban lead
ers.
"I had no troube in getting away
from Cuba. In fact, there were many
facilities. I lelt the islands at a point
not far from Havana. Tbe whole in
terior of the island, with the exception
of a few harbors held by the Spaniards,
is practically under the control of the
insurgents."
Colonel Perez was wounded in Jan
uary at Garro, where the Spaniards en
gaged the troops of General Maceo, and
killed four men. Colonel Perez was
shot in the neck and was in the hospital
several weeks. He left the island a
week ago.

Nona But Ajer'i at the World's Fair.
Ayer'a Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all tnrned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in tavor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows:
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is" here on its
merits."

Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City

Consumption and that there was no hope
for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's
New Discovery completely cured her
and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos.
ggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco,
suffered from a dreadfnl cold, approach
ing Consumption, tried without resnlt
everything else then bought one bottle
of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally thank
ful. It is such resnlts, of which these
are samples, that prove .the wonderful
efficacy of t his medicine in Coughs and
colds. Free trial bottles at Blakeley &

If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, eo the re
