the following statements signed by
General Maximo Gomez:
"The enemies of Cuba have circu
lated id the United States the rumor
that I am disposed to accept autonomy
as a basis of settlement or solution of
the present war.
"The constitution of Cuba absolutely
establishes in its articles that peace is
to be negotiated only upon the basis of
absolute independence of Spain. It is
to obtain independence that we have
been fighting for two years, and will
continue to fight until victory is ours.
"All the statements which have been
heretofore.or maybe in thefuture pub
lished to the effect that we are willing
to accept any other solution instead of
independence, should be regarded as
false."

Deplored the Situation Which Prevented
Hint From Doing His Duty.
Salem, Or., Feb. 12. The joint con
vention met at noon. The rollcall
showed 37 members present, the same
as yesterday. Hudson and Vaughan
were absent on account of illness.
Senator Dufur made a speech, saying
that he had come here to do his duty.
He deplored the situation. He was
elected on the democratic ticket, and
had come here to discharge his duty.
One of his duties was the election of a
United States senator. He would not
starid back and wait until 45 coat-tails
preceded him into the joint conven
tion. The present situation, he said,
had established a precedent that would
come back and strike the very vitals of
our Institutions. Those who were
staying out were 'doing' nothing' bat
breeding anarchy.
"What is the difference," he ex
claimed, "whether it is accomplished
uy political strategy oremmwrj
by bullets and blood, the result is the
same."
Dufur concluded by paying that un
less prevented by accident, he would
be found present at every rollcall to
the very end.

TWO WILL. BE LAUNCHED.
The Gnnboats Wheeling and marietta will
Leave the Ways.
San Francisco, Feb. 15. A twin
baptism of war vessels at the Union
iron works on or about March 17, -will
be the programme of an unusual naval
event to be witnessed by delegations
from West Virginia and Ohio as well
as by crowds from this city.
The Wheeling and the Marietta are
the names to be given the two new
boats as they glide from the ways into
the water at the same instant. This is
the first time that two war vessels have
been launched at the same time on this
coast. The vessels are all but ready
for the christening, and invitations
ave been sent to the eastern cities af
ter which .they are named. Citizens of
Wheeling, W. Va., and Marietta, O.,
will send delegations to participate in
the ceremonies.
These two additions to the United
States navy are what re known as
twin-screw, light draugLt composite
gunboats. Their contract price is
$219,000 and $225,000, respectively, and
they are virtually sister ships. The
new boats, while perfectly seaworthy
for round-the-world cruises, with their
remarkably large radius of action, are
peculiarly adapted for service on the
inland waters of the United States and
other countries, and by reason of their
comparatively moderate draught, may
be expected to visit localities where
warships are practically unknown.
Both vessels are of the same dimen
sions. They are 174 feet long on the
load-water line. The beam extreme
at the water line is 34 feet, and the
draught 12 feet. They are of 1000 tons
displacement, aDd horse-power, 800,
and their estimated speed Is 1 knots.
The coal supply is 250 tons, and their
complement of , officers, seamen and
marines 146. Thair armament consists
of six four-inch rapid-fire guns, one
forward and one aft on the main deck,
and two on each broadside of the gun
deck. There a.e also four six-pounders
and four one-pounders, all rapid fire.

diplomatic steps at Athens. After an
exchange of views with the cabinets of
other great powers the commander of

A Race With Death.
Chicago, Feb. 12. Six men had i
race with death on the lake last night
and won by a hair's breadth. They
were the crue of the big supply tug,
Vanraalte. This tu carries supplies
to the crib off Sixty-eighth street, and
while returning to her dock she sprang
a leak while bucking a tremendous
ice flow.
Then for three hours the six men
battled with the ice and faced death
while they were trying to keep their
boat afloat long enough to reach her
dock. The tug managed to get into
Calumet river but the fire was dead.
The men were up to their knees in
water. In answer to signals of dis
trees the fire boat Chicago responded
and took the crew ashore.

THE DARING UF GREECE.
Caused at Sensation lb. the Capitals of
Europe.
London, Feb. 13. All Europe is
watching the Cretan fireworks display
with the greatest anxiety, as a spark
may set all Europe ablaze. Everybody
is agreed that the present moment is
the most critical one since the powers
intervened in Turkish affairs. The
daring action of Greece in pending
Prince George with a torpedo flotilla
to Crete has caused a tremendous
flutter in the European cabinets. Tel
egraphic dispatches on the subject have
been flying across the continent be
tween the different governments and
their embassies.
Unusual activity prevails at the
British foreign office. Telegrams have
arrived in rapid succession, and the
Marquis of Salisbury yesterday had a
special interview with the Russian,
Austrian and German ambassadors.
The importance of these conferences
can be estimated by the fact that Coun t
von Hatzfelt, the German ambassador,
went to the foreign office, although he
was in such feeble health that he was
unable to meet the ex-Empress Frede
rick on herftcriyaltodayt and had to
j uui i ia upstairs at the foreign office.
The Greek note to the powers, justify
ing the attitude of Greece toward
Crete, is couched in such strong terms
as to be regarded in official circles
here as almost tantamount to a declara
tion of war against Turkey. The note
accused the Turkish troops of siding
with the Mussulmans; said that the
Turkish reinforcements meant a re
newal of atrocities against the Cretan
Christians, and concluded with saying
that it was therefore incumbent upon
Greece to prevent at all cost the land
ing of reinforcements, not only out of
sympathy with, but as a duty to, the
Greek population, "which has just
solemnly declared its determination to
accept nothing but union with the
motherland."
This menacing attitude toward Tur
key is quite remarkable upon the part
of King George, who has hitherto
shown a moderate, pacific disposition
and there is some speculation as to the
reason thereof. The opinion is ex
pressed that Greece must be able to
count upon the eupport of some influen
tial persons and the tolerance of
others, and indications point to Russia
as her backer. It is contended that
the close kinship between the two
reigning families must count for some
thing in the present crisis.

KILLED WITH AN AX.
A German Farmer Murdered by His Part
ner.
Seattle, Feb. 13. In the outskirts
of Elliot, a sparsely settled community
16 milos from Seattle, Edward Folzke,
a German farmer, was killed with an
ax Friday evening, about 7 o'clock,
and the perpetrator of the crime at
tempted to cover up his work by drag
ging his victim's body into the house,
to which be applied the torch. The
cabin was entirely destroyed, and the
dead man's fate is told by a large pool
of blood outside of the door and an ax
which shows blood stains and black
hair on it. The sheriff and coroner
investigated the case this afternoon,
with the result that Andrew S. Kraus,
Folzee's partner, is locked up in the
county jail, charged with murder and
arson. No one saw the crime com
mitted, but circumstancial evidence is
strong against Kraus. The two men
had lived together for eight years, and
when sober were close friends; but
when drunk they frequently quarreled.
Kraus denies all knowledge of the
crime, claiming that he slept in a
cabin some distance from the scene of
the murder. Blood spots were found
on his overalls.
DE LOME AS AN OPTIMIST. '
Spanish Minister Says Our Cuban Attitude
Is Altered.
London, Feb. 15. A Times dispatch
from Madrid says that the morning
papers publish the most optimistic re
ports concerning the attitude of the
United states government. It is stated
that the Duke of Tetuan, Spanish min
ister of foreign affairs, has received a
telegram from Minister de Lome affirm-
ing that President Cleveland and Sec
retary of State Olney consider theCu
baa reform scheme as ample and
liberal as could be desired by the most
evoicting. This opinion, according to
Minister de Lome, is shared by the
chief public men of America, including
President-elect McKinley,
Minister de Lome is also reported to
have said:
"The Cuban question may be con
sidered dead, as far as the United
States congress and public opinion in
America is concerned. The govern
ment is prudently reserved upon the
subject, but I am able to stato that the
report as indicated" above is approxi
mately correct.

The Sundry Civil BUI.
Washington, Feb. la The coup
arranged by the house leaders for the
passage of the sundry civil appropria
tion bill under suspension of the rules
was a complete success, and this big
appropriation bill, carrying $50,644,743,
was passed without opposition or
amendment, just as it came from the
committee. The main opposition was
directed against the river and harbor
items in the bill. The house made the
best of the fact that today was suspen
sion day, and quite a number of bills
were passed, of more or less impor
tance, among them the senate bill
approdriating $250,000 for closing the
crevasse at Passe 'Outre, on the
Mississippi river; to equip the Na
tional Guard with uniform Spring
field rifles, 45-caliber; and the senate
resolution to authorize the secretary of
the navy to transport the contributions
of the Pacific coast states to the
famine sufferers of India. The report
in the contested election case of Benoit
vs. Boatner, from Louisiana, confirm
ing the latter's title to his seat, was
unanimously ' adopted. The con
ference report of the diplomatic and
consular approptiation bill was adopted
and the agricultural bill was sent to
conference. Owing to the brief time
of this session yet remaining, extra
night sessions will be held, beginning
tonieht, for the consideration of
private pension bills, of which many
hundred still remain on the calender.
