It is reported from Peking that Russia hna demanded n lease of tho Mino Tao islands as a totpedo 'station. Theso islands lio across tho entrance of the Gulf of Po-Chi-Li, south of Port Arthur.

Senator Toiler, of Colorado, has in troduced a bill for the amendment of tho war-revenuo act, so as to provide for a tax upon tho actual valuo or sell ing prices instead of tho nominal value of certain stocks.

A liko petition was presented to the senate. A Havana cable to tho Now York World says: "Tlie graves of the Maino victims in tho Havana cemetery aro neglected. Two small, sickly shrubs, one weather-beaten pot with a dead plant and two blasted stalks of three slips are all there is to show that any thing has b?en done in this beautiful burial place for our nation's dead. A month ago, upon the interment of some sailors of the Resolute, their comrades put an 18x24 inch calico American flag on the mound. This little faded flag is tho only thing given by either tho army or tho navy. The monthly statement of tho col lections of internal revenue shows that during November, 1808, the receipts amounted to $22,401,405, against $13, 059,290 for November, 1897.

Senator Mason, of Illinois, occupied tho attontion of tho senate for nearly an hour and a half Tuesday, with a speech in support of his resolution de claring that tho United States will never attempt to govern tho people of any country without their consent. In many respects tho speech was ono of tho most notablo utterances from the senato thus far this session. At Kokomo, Ind., thoro nro 18 tramps in tho Howard county jail filowly starving to death. Two weeks ngo tho lioboa refused to work on tho stono pile, and Sheriff Ilnrnes put thorn in iail on n diot of broad and water, mostly wator, until they signi fied n willingness to work.

Ironch sontiment is onco more being worked up against tho United States on account of tho Spanish war. Hos tile newspaper criticism, which tem porarily was shut down by tho victor ies of Manila and Santiago, is now re assuring itsolf in consequence of tho difficulties which Piesidont MoKin loy's vacillating policy has caused in tho Philippines. Tho steamship City of Macon, from Boston, brought into Savannah, On., Captain Kcnnerly nnd tho crew, nine men all told, of tho tohoonor Aloha, of Bath, Me., abandoned Saturday night, 250 miles southoast of Georgetown light, in a sinking condition.

Tho first detachment of tho Seven-j teenth has lsf t Columbus for New York, en routo to tho Philippines. j The entire military department of Santa Clara, Major-Geuornl J. C. Bates commanding, is quiet. Twonty-soveii thousand Spaniards still remain in the vicinity of Cienfuegos, but ono trans port has loaded and 12 others ato ex pected to arrive at an early date. It is im possible, however, that the evacu ation will be completed much beforo tho middle of February. Great fear is felt for tho safety of the naptha launch Paul Jones, hailing from Louisville, which left tlio mouth of tho Mississippi river January U for Pensacola, Fla.. with a party of ladies and gentlemen from Chicago and In dianapolis on board. Nothing has been heard there of tlio launch, nnd one of the fastest tugs has left to make a thor ough search on the Gulf.

Both engines and porno of tho cars wero wrecked Tho crew of the train nnd that of the switch engine all jumped Conductor Joseph Giant, of tho freight, was thrown under tho wreck and killed. Fireman Dowling was injured. llio rest escaped unhurt. A Madrid dispatch says tho govern ment, on tho reassembling of the cor tes, will immediately ask La Refonna for nntliority to sell thu Marianuo (Ladrones), Carolino and tho Pelca islands, since Spain is powerless to maintain a sufficient force to defend thorn. Tho government arrived at this decision in consequonco of advices from Geneial Rioa that an army of 4,000 men, n man-of-war and two gunboats would bo necessary for tlio purpose. Official dispatches from Ilo Ho. is land of Panay, indicate that tho na mes nro disposed to bo friendly, al though absolutely opposed to tho land ing of tho United States forces without ordor from Mnlolos, tho seat of the so called Filipino nntivo government. Somo of tho oflicials nt Ilo Ilo nro not in nccord witli tho i evolutionary gov ernment, but nro willing to accopt an American protoctorato, and will go to stnto the case (o Aginaldo if furnished transportation by the Amoricans. Tho Borlin correspondent of tho Lon don Times quotes from tho Cologne Gazotto that "rumors as to tho annex ation of Viinva, ono of tho Friendly islands, by Germany, nro an invention of thoso who desire to stir np ill-feeling betweon Germany nnd tho United Stntos.

C Will Probably Bo Advanood Throo Years Pay. GOVERNMENT'S AGREEMENT rim Amount In I'orty Mlltlom-t?iitni.n for lit lt-imjrmnt. Now York. Jan. 18. According to Brigadier-General Josu Miguel Gome, n member of tho Cuban commission in Washington, tho Cuban army is mini to leceivo tho three yearn' pay to which it is ontltled, $ 10,000,000 being ml vanced by thu Unltod States, with tho custom-houses of Cuba as security for its pavment. Brigadier-General Gomez, who has just ni rived in tliia city from Washing ton, ia grateful foi the way thocoiiiiiiia sion has been received. Tho negotia tions, it is oxpooted, will bo completed by tho end of this month, when tho commission will return toCuba. Gen eral Gomez said last night: "Our hopes have all boon realized. At ilrst, however, things looked dark for us. Poor Geneial On rain was tho most pessimistic member of the com mission. Ho had little hope for tho success of our plans whon ho left fur Washington. Thu rest of tho commis sion argued, however, that na the Americana had taken chargu of Cuba nnd thus provented us from raising money, wo hnd a light to request a loan, with which to pay off our men. Gun ernl Garcln nskod for only $100 fo each man. "Tho other commissioners protested because of tho small amount. Then camo tho general's death, and for lit time being negotiations wero suspend ed. At our next meeting it wris agreed that an official list of tlio men in tho Cuban army would bo required before any agreement could be reached. Ac coidiugly, I left for Cuba, whence. 1 returned on January G with the re quired document. "Thoro mo 47,000 mon to bo paid in tho Cuban army. Tho amount w( liavo requested is 140,000,000, to he turned over to ua oithor in ono or tin cc payments. Wo will give as security tho custom-houses in Cuba. Should tho government not raro to loud ui that sum, wo nro willing to take ono third of it and later pay thu men the rest. "As affaire now stand, I think we will receivo the amount in thtoo pay inents. This, however, is not decided yet. Tho late .Mr. Dingley was in fa vor of giving us tlio amount in one pay ment." Speaking of tho present condition of iilfuirs in Havana, General Gomez said it was bad. "There appeals to he much disagree merit among tho American soldiers,' ho continued, "and no ono scorns tc know what his powor is. Somo one gives an order, and tiio next man conn termnnda it. As a result tho govern ment of Havana is not as smooth ns it might be. "General Brnoko, however, is- well liked, nnd tho Cubans aro more than willing to help him. General Lud low's orders preventing tlio Cubant from from taking any part in the 'evacuation parudu,' caused n great deal of ill-feeling. This is now ddno nwaj with, and there need bo no fear of e clash betweon tho Cubans and tlx Americans. "Tlio American soldiers nro n fint set of men, and do not glvo any trou bio. Wo nro dona with war, and want iieaco, but nevertheless we would never tolerato tl o condition of affairs which is reported to exist in Porto Rico. "General Brooke, I am told, ia about to name a committeo of Cubans, whe will not ns his udvisers. Meudez Can oto, prosident of thu assembly nt Santa Cruz del Sur, will bo placed at tho head of tho commission. "General Maximo Gomez will re main in tho field until tho nrrny is (lis banded. Ho will then mnko his home in Havana. After tho men in the army nro paid off, wo will try to provt. to this country that wo nro fully nbh to govom Cuba. "Tlio paying off of tho army is the most important movo toward establisl ing traiiquiiility on tho island. If wo should nut bo able to raise tho money trouuiu witli liic men would follow."

Senator Preston suggested that it might be well to wait until Dingley was buried beforo proceeding to (ill Ji im shoes. A discreet smilo passed about tho circle, whereupon Senator bcholluld proposed that tlio involution bo made n special order for tomorrow. Senator Hamilton thou asked, inas much as tho resolution had been pio Euuted by a gentleman not n member, in .what position it camo bo for o tho senato. Thoro wna a moment's hesita tion, during which tho chair thought it possible to receivo tho communica tion, and finally Senator Preston said he would stand hack of it.
