CLAMOKINO POK KECOONITION.
Washington, Jan. 7. It Is learned
that tbe chief purpose of the leaders
of the Cuban revolutionary party, In
coining to Washington today, was to
push vigorously the movement to se
cure recognition of the revolutionists
by this government. They made Sec
retary Olney a brief but forcible pre
sentation of the claims of the Insurg
ents to recognition. There Is a strong
sentiment In the house which has been
advanced by the recent successes of
Cubans, that this government should
do all in Its power, consistent with In

Last night a torpedo was exploded in

tho city. No ono was hurt nnd tho
resulting llro was extinguished with
out much damage, but tho incident
has a sinister look and tho only
tangible expression of feeling that tho
most hopeful citizens can form is that
there will bo no outbreak in tho city
of tho disaffected elements ln caso tho
insurgents come ln tho city.
There has been a missing of forces
of troops in tho northwest province
pt Havana which is immediately west
nnd southwest of Havana. Loud dis
claimers are being uttered by the
authorltleatbat they have nny fenr
for tho welfare of tho city, and It
is pointed out that tho city Is well
fortified, being protected by tho
strong fortress of Moro and being gar
risoned strongly by Cubana, rrluclpo,
Alares, Santa Clara and Renin troops,
with heavy nrtlliery nnd by 20,000
volunteers, with 40,000 moro loyal
citizens in tho city willing to take up
arms. With theso forces at their com
mand tho authorities express their
opinions, with great confidence, that

Tho senate finance commltteo has

stitute for tho houso bond bill in n
mensuro agreed upon by tho silver

"That from nnd after tho passage

PERSISTENT AGITATION
To Be Made by American Millers for
Reciprocity.
Chicaoo,. Jan. 7. The Interest of
American inlllcrs Is centered ln tho
next meeting of tho executive com
mittee of tho Rational Millers' Trade
Association, to bo hold January 27.
Millers have practically decided upon
a persistent agitation for reciprocity
with South Amorlcan countries, and
will mako a determined effort for tho
repeal of that portion of tho tarllTlaw
which they think conflicts .with tho
Hour Interest of the United States
11. A. Hart, a member of tho associa
tion, says tho prospects of tho Cubans
gaining their Independence will have
a tendency to promoto commercial
relations between the new republic
and this country,
"Tho present prohibitive tarlir be
tween America' and South American
.countries," he added, "should bo re
moved, but wo reallzo that an amend
ment to tho Wilson law, to obtain
this desired relief, would not bo
necessarily granted Tor ono commo
dity. Others will doubtless bo In
cluded. Tho Idea Is to continue agitat
ing until tho result is attained. Mil
lers do not anticipate any relief from
tho present congress, as tho president
would veto any such bill. Ah long as
the present tariff Is In effect It means
a decrease of 4,000,000 barrels of Hour
annually in export, and tho loss of
$10,000,000 to Amorlcan millers, com
pared to tho benefits of reciprocity.
"At the coming meeting M. II.
Davis will preside. Mr. Plllsbury nnd
others will attend, nnd 1 have reason
to bcllovo It will result in tho inau
guration of n united tight for millers'
rights."
