.V VOL. IX THE DALLES, OREGON ; WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23, L896 NO 299 WEYLER IS WORRIED Insurgent Bands Within Three Miles of Havana. GOMEZ IS BURNING FOR REVENGE Zertnclia tne Traitor, and Cirnjeda Are Both Marked Men, ind Will Oet So Mercy. Cincinnati, Dec. 22. A special to ihe Commercial Tribune Irom Key West says : That General Weyler is going into the field again is confirmed tonight by pas sengers on tbe Havana boat. Prepara tions are being made with secrecy for a forward movement. Three battalions of newly-landed troops left by water for tbe east. It is supposed this is a part of Weyler's campaign. Gomez is advanc ing rapidly, and it is thought Weyler will, if possible, prevent his coming to tbe gates of Havana. It is stated from Cuban sources that tbe Cuban leader is wild over the murder of bis only son, and bis beloved chief, and is burning to revenge their fall. The Cubans in the army are infuriated also over the treach ery of Dr. Zertucna. Dr. Zertucha is a marked man too, and it is reported a move will be made to abdnct him. He is now in a fortress some miles from Ha- , vana, with a strong Spanish guard. His trip to Spain will be postponed, tbe Cu bans say, as, if he goes over there, they have friendly hands in that country who will avenge Maceo and young Gomez.- Major Cirnjeda also comes- in for his share of hatred and revenge. Strong in enrgent bands are now eo close to Hava na that the Spanish soldiers seldom ven ture far out of the gateB of the city ex cept in strong force. A company of 25 were attacked Snnday not over three miles from tbe palace, by an insurgent band, and several of them killed. This audacity has worried Weyler, but he cannot capture or disperse them. An American named Amos Johnson, from Texas, is their most prominent leader. ' THREE-SIDKJD CONTEST ROW. II? V' Absolutely Pure. Celebrated for Its great leavening strength aud healthfuluess.

The Herald's correspondent in Rio de Janeiro tele graphs that it is semi-officially an nounced that the Brazilian government is in possession of documents of tbe greatest importance in relation to that part of Gniana which is now in dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela. This document, it is stated, gives satis factory proof that the territory in ques tion is properly within tbe domain tf Brazil. It is' declared also on the an thority of persons in confidence that when the dispute between England and Venezuela is settled, Brazil will for mally present her title to the territory and expects to triumph over all claim ants. Brazil's claim to the territory in tbe Guiana' district -begins over a portion now under arbitration between that country and France. Her claim to ad joining territory in Venezuela is of ' more recent date. Brazil was much disturbed during the later part, of last year concerning news of the presence of British troops in the territory in dispute. English missionaries then in the territory de' clared it to be neutral until final ad justment should be arrived at. It appears now that Brazil has ex tended ber claims in Gniana to all the region- in the Ynari and Delta territo ries. This includes tbe Central gold Congrers, Has Power to Recogalze Cu ba's Independence. Cincinnati, Dec. 22. The Commer cial Tribune having asked by - telephone of Judge George J. Hoadly, of New York, to give his 'opinion in regard to the ex clusive right of the president to acknowl edge the inderjendence of Ctfba, replied as follows- " "Legislative powers granted by the constitution are, in accordance with ar ticle 1, section 1, vested in congress. Plenary powers oyer the relations of the United States with foreign governments is committed to congress by the power granted in section 8, clause 3, to regu late commerce with foreign nations; al so to the president and senate by article 2, section 2, clause 2, to make treaties with the concurrence of two-thirds of the senators present, and by like advice and consent to appoint ambassadors. "By tbe express terms of article 5, sec tion 2, Che laws of tbe United States and all treaties are the supreme law of tbe land. From this it follows that tbe pow er to recognize foreign states and to de termine which of the two parties repre sents the state is lodged in the president and senate by tbe treaty power, and con gress, subject to the veto of the presi dent, has tbe power to regulate com merce with foreign nations. Both these powers necessarily involve the right to determine which is the law of the for eign state, with power to treat or carry on com merce. "By article 2, section 2, clause 3, reso lutions and acts in which the concur rence of tbe senate and house are neces sary, except on questions of adjourn inent, must be presented to the preei dent, and if approved by bim or passed over his veto, become laws as effectually as in the case of a bill. From the char acter given to the foregoing laws of the United States, it follows that they take precedence in authority over an ' execu tive order receiving an ambassador, which is the power referred to in tbe support of the claim that the president may recognize foreign states without consulting congress. "I desire to accompany the foregoing opinion with theexpression of a strong conviction that the proposed action on the part of congress, would, be in the highest degree unwise, though not il legal.- .

He belieyed the Union Pacific is not insolvent, and the floating debt was created for the ex press purpose of complicating and em barrassing tbe government liens. Gear, chairman of the committee on Pacific roads, asked if Pettigrew favored tbe-operation of the roads by the govern ment. He answered certainly, that the government could not possibly manage the Pacific roads worse than they have been managed. .It would do away with pools, combinations and discriminating rates which made American railways a target for criticism. . Piatt of Connecticut spoke of the im perative necessity of considering the im portant question of settlement with the Pacific roads. The indebtedness reach ing $115,000,000 was in danger of ' being f lost, and yet this vast debt and the per.T of its loss seemed to disturb no one. Morgan of Alabama said tbe state ments made by Pettigrew were of a most grave character. It was difficult for any single mind to grasp the "labyrinth of fraud and rascality that had made this subject a perfect saturnalia of fraud." The Pacific railway discussion contin ued in the senate until 2 p. m., when the morning hour expired ; v apparently ending the prospects for a Cuban debate.
