THE HERALD MR. WEYLER WON'T WEEP If the Cubans Are Granted Recognition ALL THE OLD WORLD NATIONS WOULD BURST WITH SYMPATHY FOB SPAIN The Captain General Wants Honey to Carry on the War Against "a Few Horse Thieves" Associated Press Special Wire. NEW TORK, May 24.—A dispatch to the Journal from Clenfuegos, Cuba, says: In an Interview with Captain-General Weyler upon his arrival here from Pla cetas, ln reference to Senator Morgan's Cuban resolution, the General said: "I am not surprised with the action thus far taken, nor shall I be if the House concurs in the Senate resolution and sends it to the President. Your jin goes are in the saddle and evidently bent upon forcing the country Into some foreign complications ln order to dis tract attention from the fast approach ing Internal crisis. "The few scattering bands of Cuban dynamiters, railroad wreckers, horse and cattle thieves, plantation burners and highwaymen now in the field here, who hold no port and possess no seat of government, have no right to expect rec ognition. Such distinction at President McKinley's hands Issued in the fact of my own proclamation officially declar ing the. greater part of the Island to be already pacified, would hold the Wash ington Executive up to the ridicule of European powers and prompt a healthy outburst of sympathy for the Spanish cause, especially from neighboring old world governments also possessing col orles In the West Indies. In brief, rec ognition may aid the Cuban Junta ln placing a few bonds in the United States,but it will at the same time assure the successful issue of our proposed new Spanish loan in Paris, London and Vi-. enna, and enable us to carry on the war with renewed vigor. "Personally. I shall be glad. If recog nition comes, our position will then be more clearly defined. It will work a vir tual abrogation of our special treaty with the United States, place Yankees residing In Cuba in an Identical.position before the eourU with ether foreign res idents, and I shall be troubled less by the constant complaints and often ridic ulous demands from American Consuls. It would also relieve the Spanish gov ernment of Jfll responsibility for the destruction of foreign property not ac tually within the line of Spanish defenses and further simplify matters by assur ing us the right to board and search American vessels whenever suspected." Continuing, the Captain-General ex pressed delight at the proposition to have Consuls here furnish free trans portation to alt Americans who desire to go to the United States, but he said he considered the plan to distribute food to resident Americans as an Indirect and unjustified attempt to interfere in local affairs. TETUAN'S ACT. NEW YORK, May 24.1-A dispatch to the Herald from Madrid says: The Heraido In Madrid devotes an ed itorial to the Tetuan incident, strongly urging the Duke to resign. Each party blames the other for the attitude of the United Statee. El Imparclal, in an editorial this)morn ing, criticises the government severely, paying that its? policy .has always been one of indecision and simulated optim ism, and it Infers that the Duke of Te tuan'? act has brought the party con- Illct to an acute stage. El Imparclal also condemns the gov ernment for allowing Americans In Ha vana to openly interfere with Spanish concerns. ■ The Madrid press generally displays great anxiety about President McKin ley's attitude. El Liberal makes no original comment, however, and "only quotes the opinion of the foreign press relative to the Amer ican attitude. The Carllsts are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the Incident. ; MADRID, May 24.—1n the senate to day, in reply to a Conservative senator, who asked why the Liberals were ab sent, Senor Canovas del Castillo, the premier, said: "In the opinion of th/] government, the matter which the Lib erals plead as an excuse for their ab sence from the senate Is an incident of a purely personal character, which has already been arranged. The govern ment respects the opinion of the Liberal minority, but questions their theory of the Incident and their demands for the resignation of the minister of foreign af fairs, as contrary to the constitution of parliament. "Formerly I governed ln the absence of a minority, but under the present cir cumstances, the responsibility belongs to all parties. It is impossible to fac; the negotiations now orf foot without serious detriment if we change the for eign ministry." The marquis of Peralos, on behalf of the dissident Conservatives, declared that under the circumstances they felt compelled to absent themselves until th? Liberals had. received satisfaction. In the chamber of deputies the prem ier repeated the statement he had made ln the senate, adding that he regretted the absence of the Liberals, because it prevented Senor Sagasta from defend ing himself against certain accusations arising out of an erroneous interpreta tion of one of his speeches. Senor Ca~ novas referred to the bad Impression which had been produced in this way at Waehlngton. where, he amid, it seemed to be supposed that the sale of Cuba was a possible thing. "Spain," aald Senor Canovas. "i» not LOS ANGELES, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 25, 1897 a nation of merchants, capable of selling Ing its honor." Senor Francesco Sllvela, leader of the dissident Conservatives ln the chamber, who quarreled with Senor Canovas ln 1891 over the expediency of reform for the municipal abuses in Madrid, ac cused the duke of Tetuan of a grave err or, which could not be righted by a few eloquent wards. He said the foreign minister ought to expiate his offense by resignlng. In the course of his speech he described the action of the United States senate ln recognizing the bellig erency of Cuba as a great "iniquity," and characterized the diplomacy of the government as altogether blamewor thy, adding an expression of his doubt as rb the intelligence of Senor Canovas in retaining the duke of Tetuan under the circumstances. FALLING CUBAN PAPER. NEW YORK, May 24. —A dispatch to the Herald from Havana, via Key West, says: Every effort Is made by the Spanish government to discredit the attempt to relieve American citizens and to con fuse the Issue. The Union Constitution al insists* that the $50,000 was voted by Congress at the request of the New York business men to protect American citizens there. Late reports of the Sen ate speeches Indicate that there is a fear in the United States that the American Consuls win be ln danger when It Is known that their reports will have thor oughly exposed General Weyler's meth ods and the emptiness of his announce ments of pacification. The Consuls are not a bit alarmed. Consul-General Lee's stirring report Is only a confirmation of earlier reports which he sent to Mr. Olney. His ground has always been that the Spanish showed' no indication of being able to crush the Insurgents. It is true that the Consul- General made no personal attack upon General Weyler, but he was outspoken with regard to the results which General Weyler has achieved. The money question grows more press ing. The Colonial Treasurer has re signed In disgust, owing to the troubles arising over the depreciation of the pa per money. Today the centln is equiv alent to $12.45 paper. An attempt was made to sell here drafts for $5000 silver ln Spain, payment to be made by the purchasers In paper money. Bids were at about $80 premium on the hundred. The acceptance of these bids would have meant the retirement of half a million in paper money. The Intendente at first accepted the bide, then refused them as too low, and resigned. And now the despised blllete falls lower daily, yet the reforms are here in paper, at least. The fact remains that the paper Is more de preciated today than at any time since the rebellion began. The Intendente ob jected to a proposition to quote the bll lete? on the Stock Exchange and have them accepted at the rate quoted dally. There was great excitement ih the Stock Exchange when the news spread that the Morgan resolution had passed the Senate. Paper money dropped sharp ly, and it will go lower. General Weyler, having enforced his order driving Recontrados off the for tified sugar estates, Is now beginning to empty the smaller towns in Santa Clara. A WARNING FROM CHINA NEW YORK, May 24.—A dispatch to the Journal from Havana says: China's Havana representative has received Instructions from home that in future the lives and property of Chinese residents In Cuba must be respected, otherwise China may concede belligerent rights to Spain's enemies in the Philip pines. VENEZUELA MAKES DEMANDS NEW YORK, May 24.—A dispatch to the Journal from Havana says: In a demand recently made upon Spain through the Venezuelan consul, President Crespo's government insists that citizens of that republic residing In Cuba shall ln case of arrest upon po litical charges, be accorded equal pri vileges with citizens of the United States here, Including exemption from trial by military tribunals and assur ances of a speedy judgment by civil courts. Venezuela claims this right under the favored nation clause in her own treaty with Spain and the point has been al lowed. Now Mexico is understood to be pressing Madrid and Havana author ities to have her citizens here accorded the same privileges. One Trujillo, a Venezuelan, recently arrested as a poli tical suspect, waa released yesterday at the demand of Consul Punango- on condition that he leave Spanish terri tory. Private advices from Caracas Indi cate that President Crespo stands ready to follow suit In case the Washington government should finally recognize the belligerency rights of the Cubans. Indeed. It was whispered here tonight that a vessel was formally cleared from Maracaibo some days ago for the rebel port of Banes, ln Eastern Cuba, loaded with arms and ammunition for Callxto Garcla's army. DENVER, May 24.—A special to the Times from Washington says there is little reason to doubt, from what re cently emanated from the White House, that President McKinley will take a trip West in July, and that one of the places he is Interested in visiting is Denver. Your correspondent learned today from authority high in presiden tial regard, that the President is al ready making plans for his trip and the tariff issue is not likely to change them. The President's invitation to go West came some two weeks ago from the Utah delegation that Invited him to be in Salt Lake at the time the Utah Jubilee is held. Export Bounties NEW YORK, May 24.-The time of Ith.; Central Labor Union was occupied for two hours yesterday by David Lubln, a merchant of Sacramento, Cal., who pre sented a resolution to the effect that, as manufacturers were protected by duties on imports, agriculture should be pro tected by bounties on Imports. There was a long discussion on protection and free trade, but finally the resolution was indorsed by a small majority. TACOMA. May 24.—At the coroner's in quest held today the robber who held up the Stellacoom car was positively Identi fied as Jack Case, the Oregon desperado. Case was out on bonds to appear for trial at Roseburg on June 28th on a charge of holding up a Southern Pacific train. The verdict of the coroner's jury* Justifies and commends Superintendent Dames' prompt action in shooting the robber. McKinley's Western Trip A Killing Commended THAT "FREE BREAKFAST TABLE" THE SORRY SENATORS Adjourn as a Mark of Great Respect A CAUCUS QUICKLY CALLED TO SQUABBLE OVEB THE TARIFF SCHEDULES Nobody Likes £<c Bill, But It Will Be Crowded Through—Other Ques • tions Considered Associated Press Special Wire. WASHINGTON, May 24.—The death of Senator Earle of South Carolina wa* referred to ln eloquent terms in Chap lain Milburn's prayer In the senate to day. Following this Mr. Tillman of South Carolina made the formal an- nouncement of Mr. Earle's death, afnd offered a resolution expressing the pro found sorrow of the senate. As a further f mark of respect the senate, at 12:1 ftp. m., adjourned. IN CAUCUS Opinions Differ as to the Tariff Schedules WASHINGTON, May 21.—Immediate ly after the adjournment of the Senate the Republican Senators went into cau cus. Allison said that the caucus was called on request of several Senators, and some of those who had signed the call stated that they wanted to know something about the plan of procedure for the consideration of the tariff bill. Senator Aldrich, who reported the bill, took the floor, but had not proceedied far when some one asked him for an expla nation of the sugar schedule. Aldrich went Into quite an elaborate explana tion of the schedule, presenting the fig ures of the present law, the Dingley bill and the Senate amendments. He said the Senate amendments were less- ad vantageous to sugar refiners than the Dingley bill or the present law. The Republican caucus today em phasized the fact that there is a wide divergence of opinion among the Re publican senators on the rates of duty fixed in the various schedules of th? tariff bjll. The senators were in caucus nearly four hours. The only offlciai announcement that was made after the caucus adjourned was that it was de cided to appoint three senators, in addi tion to the Republican members of the finance committee, who were to act as a committee to assist in getting the tar iff bill through the senate. It was gen erally stated, however, that an agree ment had been reached that there should be no set speeches on the bill from the Republican side, except that of Senator Aldrich, which is to be delivered tomor row. A resolution of memorandum, of fered by Senator Burrows, was agreed to by those present. It sets forth that the sense of those present, there not be ing a full attendance of the caucus, was that Republican senators having amend ments to offer should present them to the Republican members of the finance, committee, and if the amendments are approved by the committee they are to be offered in the senate; if disapproved, the senators presenting them are to. have the right to present them to the Republican caucus, which is to be called upon each separate schedule. The finance committee Is to hold ses sions each evening for the purpose of hearing propositions from Republican senators, and to decide upon the ad visability of presenting J such amend ments to the senate. The.object of this proposition is to prevent tbe Republic ans from dividing upon the various schedules which might be presented. The necessity for this arrangement was developed by the debate and the vari ous contentions of the senators. In the early part of the caucus Sen ator Aldrich was called upon for an ex planation of the bill, and some of the amendments. During the remarks Sen ator Cullom called for a statement on the sugar schedule, over which there had bee-n co much controversy. The explana tion presented was largely technical, but the senators who heard him understood that the house schedule would largely exclude the- coarse and low grades from Java, the Philippine islands and other points. The protection ln the senate bill was 75 per cent, and equalized the high protection on low grades and, high grades. The effect of the house sched ule would be to shut the lower and cheaper grades of sugar, the system of INDEX TO TELEGRAPH NEWS The spring racing meeting opened at Sacramento; results on league dia monds; general sporting news.

The United States supreme court gives a final decision in the famous Blythe estate case, leaving the vast estate in the undisputed possession of Florence Blythe Hinckley. The supreme court decides two im portant railroad cases, holding ln ef fect that the interstate railroad com mission has no power to pass upon rates not yet fixed, nor to fix rates to be charged by common carriers. Captain General Weyler expresses his personal desire for the passage of the resolution recognizing the Cu bans, hoping that it will cause "an outburst of old world sympathy with Spain;" the financial situation is be coming desperate. The senate adjourns as a mark of re spect to the memory of the late mem ber from South Carolina, and the Re publicans immediately gather in cau cus in attempt to reach an agreement on tariff schedules; there is a roar over hides and another over sugar; nobody likes the bill, but it will be crowded through. The sundry civil bill is ready to be reported. Another Cuban reso lution introduced in the house. compound duties presented by the sen ate bill being for the purpose of making this equality. The average rate in the senate biH was 75 per cent, with a differ ential of one-eighth of a cent on re fined sugar. Senator Aldrich said that thle was not as advantageous to the sugar refiners as the house bill. This explanation seemed to cause general satisfaction. At least no one-questioned the senator further. There was some discussion upon the length of time the bill should be under discussion in the ssnate. Senator Mason suggested that ac soon as the opening speehes were made a move should be taken toward having a vote on the bill ln two weeks. It was decided to ask that after the de bate had run along for a week the sen ate begin its sessions at 11 oclock and sit until 5:30, and have evening sessions from 8 to 11 p. m. Debate on variousschedulesconsumed the time of the caucus. A great deal of opposition was developed to the increas ed tax on beer and duty on leather. Senators Piatt of New York and Hanna of Ohio and Spooner of Wisconsin were especially vigorous in their opposition to the increased tax on beer. It was pointed out that the Democrats had al ready stated their opposition to this tax, that they thought it would be wise to have an arrangement effected which would relieve Republican senator© from embarrassment. It was- determined that efforts should be made to secure the revenue both from beer and tea by a tax, which would accomplish the same result. Western senators referred to th» wool schedules. Senator Warren of Wyoming appeared as the) spokesman for the wool growers of the west. He said that the duties proposed by the committee were in his judgment inadequate, and he thought there should be some Increase on the lines of the amendments proposed by the western senators. Senator Lodge ot Massachusetts spoke against, the duty on hides, saying he did not-sec how he could avoid Voting Tor an amendment which proposed put ting hides on the free lilt. This state ment raised a storm among the west ern men, who said that if such a method was proposed, they would be compelled to vote for placing certain articles' on the free list, or for reducing the duty on them. They did not expect that the Democrats would vote with them to increase duties. The westerners an nounced that to settle with the eastern men who voted to reduce the duties on their products they woula vote to reduce the duty on articles which their people purchased but did not produce. It was this state of affairs which brought forth the preposition of Senator Bur rows, to submit proposed changes to the Republican members of the finance com mittee, and then to the caucus. There was no talk of bolting, and no senator said he would vote against the bill as a whole. It was on the matter of sched ules that they disagreed: The question of abrogating the Ha waiian treaty caused a lively debate. Senator Aldrich stated that, the corn- (Continued on Page Two.)

FLORENCE FEELS FINE Over News Received From Washington THE BLYTHE CASE DECIDED THE DAUGHTER'S TITLE NOW UNDISPUTED Anxiety of Office-Seekers Somewhat Relieved by the Ruling in the Parsons Case Associated Press Special Wire. WASHINGTON, May 34.—1n the Su preme Court today the case of Blythe vs. Hinckley, involving the estate of the late Millionaire Blythe of California, was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The effect is to leave the property in the possesion of Mrs. Hinckley, daughter of the millionaire. SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.—The de cision of the United States supreme court was received by Mrs. Hinckley of this city today with undisguised satis faction, as it virtually settles her title to the Blythe estate forever. The ap peal taken to the supreme court by the "Kentucky" Blythes from this state was their last effort to secure their al lged rights as against Mrs. Hinckley, who, being an alien, had no legal right to inherit property In this country, ac cording to the construction of the law of inheritance. NATIONAL, BANK LAW. WASHINGTON, May 24.—The ques tion whether the statutes relating to national banks, prohibiting them from purchasing or subscribing to stock ln another corporation, can be urged by the banks to defeat an attempt to enforce against them liability of stockholders, was passed on by thl Supreme Court today ln the case of the California Na tional Bank, plaintiff In error, vs. Nat Kennedy. It was held that the Califor nia National Bank of San Diego held 990 shares of stock of the California Sav ings Bank, the former having suspend ed November 12, 1891, and the latter De cember 29, 1891. The Superior Court of San Diego county held the National bank was responsible to the creditors of the savings bank to the amount of $18, --507, the former making the defense In dicated above. The Federal court holds a national bank has no right to deal In stocks, although ltr-may accept them is securities and It may plead Its want of power as a defense in a case like the one ln question. The transaction in stock of the savings bank Is held to have been void and the judgment of the Su preme Court of California against the national bank is reversed. THE PUBLIC DOMAIN WASHINGTON, May 24.—The Su preme Court today affirmed the decis ion of the Court of Private Land Claims in the case of the Chama Spanish Land Grant, involving the title to 427,768 acres in Rio Ariba county, N. M. The decision of the Court of- Private Lands was fa vorable to the contention of the govern ment and Is sustained. The Supreme Court refused to reverse the decision of the United States Cir cuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth circuit in the case of Daniel H. Cam field vs. United States et al., which charg ed them with enclosing In a fence 20,000 acres of the public domain of Colorado. They were ordered to remove the fence, but refused to obey the order. The tract Is materially reduced by the decision. HATED TO LET GO WASHINGTON. May 24—Justice Peckham today handed down an opin ion in the case of L. E. Parsons, late dis trict attorney for the northern district of Alabama. The determination of this case has been looked forward to with Interest because of its possible effect upon the removal of officeholders inci dent to the change of administration. Parsons was removed from the office of United States district attorney in Ala bama in 1893. having been appointed ln 1890.
