CULLOM IS FOR CUBA
It Is Time, He Says, to Ter
minate Spanish Control.
HE OFFERS A BOLD RESOLUTION
Defending th Termination of Spain'
Control of the Gateway of the
Gulf of Mexico
Washington, Dec. 10. Public inter
eat in the Cuban question was shown
today by a full attendance in the gal
leries of the senate to hear the speech of
Senator Cullom, of which he bad given
notice. Before he was recognized for a
speech, petitions for the recognition of
the independence of Cuba were pre
sented. Culloin began by saying that while he
was not disposed to criticise President
Cleveland, he had hoped for a more pos
itive expression of the true American
continental policy for him. Cnllom
spoke of the record of Spain for cruelty
and oppression, both in the treatment
of her own people at home up to the
present century and in her policy tow
ard the provinces on this continent. .
Spain continued to be, he said, what
she bad always been, a robber nation.
The time tad come, he declared, for this
nation to announce the speedy termina
tion of Spanish control of the island at
the gateway of the Mexican gait, neces
sary alike to the welfare of these islands
and the people of the United States.
The Cubans could never be conquered
and the war of extermination most stop.
Cuba is already lost to Spain, Cullom
claimed. The American people were
coming to consider the Cuban situation
as a great political continental question.
It was the duty of the United States to
use its power to declare that no "charnel-house
of ruin" shall be continued in
West Indian waters.
"We shall not claim Cuba as a reward
for saving her f'orn the slaughter," said
Cullom, "but free. Cuba is the reward.
Means must be found 1o settle the
Cuban question speedily, and if other
means fail we may consider properly the
fair purchase of Cuba."
The senator received close attention
throughout. He offered a resolution de
claring that the "Extinction of Spanish
title and the termination of Spanish con
trol of the islands at the gateway of-the
Gulf of Mexico are neceBSsary."
SEABOBG WANTS HIS MONEY BACK.
The Wealthy Canaer Sues His Former
Wife.
Los Angeles, Dec. .10. The Times
this morning says that B. A, Seaborg, a
rich canner of Ilwaco, now Beeks to re
cover tome of the , wealth he lavished
upon his ex-wife, from whom he has
just been divorced, and brings an action
against Etta Owens Seaborg and Guy B.
Barham to recover certain money, stock
and real estate.
The complaint recites that at the time
of the marriage plaintiff transferred to
his wife a certificate of stock ; of the
Aberdeen Packing Company, of the value
of $5000 ; on September 30, 1S96, plain
tiff gave her a house and lot at 1406
West Seventh street, and $2000 with
which to furnish the house : that defend
ant did not buy the furniture, but "held
out" the $2000 for her own use ; that
plaintiff ia worth $'100,000 and defendant
was worth nothing when he married her.
It is also alleged that defendant mar
Tied plaintiff not in good fatth, or with
the intention of becoming a true or hon
est wife to plaintiff, or because of any
regard of affection for him, bat solely be
cause of defendant's regard and affection
for plaintiff's money and property ; that
on or about November 14, 1896, she
dropped her mask, disclosed her true
character and deserted plaintiff and no
tified him by means of a letter that at
the time the agreement of marriage was

nephew of Congressman Barham,
who reeigned his place as police
commissioner of Los Angeles just
before the Seaborg divorce was granted.
Plaintiff alleges that the woman has
transferred some part of the property to
Barham for the purpose of concealing it,
and he also sues Barham for damages
for breaking up his "happy home,"' and
asks damages of $50,000.
ROLLING MILLS WORKMEN STRIKE
A. Proposal
to Cnt Wages
Cause.
Is the
San Fkancisco, Dec. 10. A cut in
the wages of skilled workmen in the Pa
cific rolling mills at the Potrero has
caused a strike which has practically
suspended all operations in the big iron
manufactory. About fifty men walked
out and their action cut off the means of
employment of about fifty others. It is
believed that some time today a com
promise will be effected, and the wheels
of industry set in motion again.
- The most important factor in the'
strike is that the men were informed
that they bad been working for over a
week under a new schedule of rates of
which they were ignorant. There are
no indications of any trouble of a violent
nature. Iii the first place, there are no
iron-workers of this class on the coast,
and the places of the strikers could only
be filled by an importation from the
East. This is not likely to take place,
as the Eastern workmen" receive as good
wages as the men here did before the cut.
The strikers are looking forward to an
early settlement, because they under
stand that the rolling mill has a con
tract to get out a large quantity of extra
large street-car rails for a company in
Los Angeles.
