TROUBLE AT KEY WEST
Spaniards Want to Celebrate
the Death of Maceo.
CUBANS ARE IN ARMS AGAINST IT
An Extra Session of Congress Has Been
A Breed On, and Will Be Called
Early In April.
Key West, Fla., Dec. 14. Much
trouble has been experienced here the
past 24 hours to prevent trouble between
Cubans and Spanish residents, as the
latter are bound to celebrate Maceo' 8
death. Small riots occurred, and had it
not been for the energetic work of the
city officials, bloodshed would have fol
lowed. Cubans here have flags at half-mast
and houses are in mourning.
At Ybor City serious trouble is feared.
The mayor has sent the chief of police
to the scene to take prompt action. A
body of Cubans have gone from West
Tampa to Ybor City, vowing to take the
life of any Spaniard found celebrating
the death of Maceo.
THE EXTKA SESSION.
Major McKinley's Views, as Expressed
by Mr. Konlsaat.
New Yobk, Dec. 14. H. H. Kohlsaat,
of Chicago, who since election has been
mentioned as a poesible member of the
McKInley cabinet, is in the city. Mr.
Kohlsaat says he is not looking for a
babmet position, and should not accept
such a place it offered to him.
"Mr. McKinley's administration," he
said, "will, in my judgment. be the
most successful the country has ever
had. I have talked with Major McKin
ley about tariff revision. He ib in sym
pathy with the movement to frame a
moderate trriff bill this winter so that
it may be ready to be introduced as soon
as congress is called together in extra
eession cannot be avoided. I think the
extra eession. will begin before April,
and that a new tariff law will be on the
statue books before July 1."

prehensive resolution for the appoint
ment of a commission to investigate and

ing;
"Resolved, That the killing of General
Antonio Maceo, the renowned general
in the service of the republic of Cuba,
while under a flag of truce and with the
assurance of safety from the Spanish
captain-general, was a violation of the
rules of civilized war, an outrage, base
treachery, a murder, cowardly and dis
graceful, which demands the execration
of every government and all the world,
whether civilized or savage.
"Resolved, That the government
which authorizes, permits or fails to pun
ish all parties connected in any way
with the guilt of this crime, with the
extreme penalty of the law, is an out
cast from the family of nations and from
the pale of civilization and public law.

eign relations be directed to make an in
quiry as to the facts and report to the
senate at an early day."

BEE0 HAS A SCHEME.
The Governor's Views Upon tbe Cuban
Question. ..
New Yobk, Dec. 14. Governor Mor
ton, according to a statement published
in the Evening World, sent a telegram
to President Cleveland yesterday in re-
ation to the critical condition of Cuban
affairs and the assnssination of General
Maceo in particular. The message con
tained the novel suggestion that Presi
dent Cleveland invite President-elect
McKinley to Washington to discuss the
most feasible plan to be followed by tbe
president concerning the attitude of the
United States toward Cuba during the
remainder of Cleveland's term.
The World article says :
"It is not probable that Governor
Mtrton would have proffered his sugges
tion unless he thought it would be ac
ceptable to President-elect McKinley;
indeed, it is said the governor has bad
some correspondence with the president
elect on the subject."

' selves on Record.
Washington, Dec. 14. Speaker Reed
has a plan for placing tbe silver senators
on record and showing tbe country
where the blame lies for failure to pro
vide revenue for the government. The
only question of success lies in whether
the ways and means committee will be
able to complete a tariff -bill before the
end of the present eession. Should this
be done, Reed, it is said, will push the
measure through the 'house and send it
to the senate at once. Then the ques
tion will depend upon the alignment of
the forces there as to the success of the
efforts to provide revenue.
The Dingley committee's hard work
will commence this week with the hear
ings to be granted the wool men. The
division of the committee into sections
to consider the various schedules will
facilitate the work and may result in
such progress that tbe bill will be ready
by the middle of February. In that
case it is now reported that the honse
will pass it at once under the skillful
hand of Reed and then the eenate will
have a chance to place itself on record
Undoubtedly the measure will be hung
up there No one believes that the sen
ate will be able, nnder its rules, to do.
anything soon . with 'the measure, but
tne ooject will be accomplished.

United States Consulate at Havana
Ilkely to Be Attacked.
Havana, Dec, 14. The United States
consulate in this city is under a special
guard of armed policemen. The precau
tion is taken by the Spanish authorities,
owing to the fear that the indignation
expressed by Spanish sympathizers
against the United States would find
vent in an attack upon the consulate.
There have been fresh signs of the hos
tile feeling against the United States, in
view ot news from there ot the ardent
sympathy felt with the insurgents over
the death of Antonio Maceo, and the al
legations there of the manner, in which
he was killed. , .. .
In tbe absence of Consul-General Lee,
the consulate is in charge of the vice-
consul, Joseph A. Springer.
Indignation in Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 14. Deepest indigna
tion is expressed in Chicago over the
latest news from Cuba, which states the
manner in which the Cuban insurgent
leader, Maceo, was entrapped and killed
It was made the topic of widespread
discussion, and today's papers contain
interviews with many' prominent citi
zens who are outspoken in their con
demnation of General Weyler's course.
The consensus of opinion gathered
from these interviews was that a oni
versal sentiment for the cause of the
Cuban patriots , was aroused, , which
some think will speedily express itself
in definite action by our government
Among those interviewed were Luther
Laffin -Mills, Levy Mayer, ex-Congressman
Adams, S. W. Allerton, Martin A,
Ryerson and H. N. Higginbotham.
