The debate on the Elkins resolution in the Senate last Friday when the ad ministration was accused by several Senators of having entered into an agreement with a syndicate to float the expected issue of bonds is the subject of a letter written by Presi dent Cleveland to Senator Caffery of of Louisiana. The knowledge that such a letter had been addressed to Mr. CaSery was obtained tonight, and the letter was made public by the latter. It ia in the hand writing of the President, and covers sinpages of closely written note pa per. It is in full as follows: Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C, Jan. 5, 189G. My Dear Sen ator I have read today in the Con gressional Record the debate in the Senate on Friday concerning the financial situation and bond issues. I am amazed at the intolerance that leads even excited partisanship to adopt as a basis of attack the un I founded accusations and assertions of a maliciously mendacious and sensational newspaper. No banker or financier, nor any other human being, has been invited to visit Washington for the purpose of arranging io any way or manner for the diposition of bonds to meet the present or future needs of the gold reserve. No arrangement of any kind has been made for the dis position of such bonds to any syndi cate or through the agency of any syndicate. No assurance of such a disposal of bonds has been directly or indirectly given to any person. In point of fact a decided leaning toward a popular loan and advertis ins for bids has been plainly exhib- iteJ. on the part of the administra tion at all times when the subject was under discussion. Those charged with the responsi bihtv of maintaining our cola re serve, so far as legislation renders it possible, have anxiously conferre with each other and as oecassion per mitted with those having knowledge of financial affairs and present mon etary conditions as to best and most favorable means of selling bonds for fold. The unusual importance of a successful result if the attempt is again made, ought to be apparent to every American citizen who bestows upon the subject a moment's patriot ic thought. The Secretary of the Treasury from the first moment that the neces sity of another sale of bonds seemed to be approaching desired to offer them, if issued, to the people by public advertisement, if thev could thus bo successfully disposed of. Af ter full consideration lie came to the conclusion, to which I fully agree, tnat the amount o: gohl in reserve, being now 20,000,000 more than i was made to a syndicate, and other conditions differing from thoso then existing, justify ua in offering th bonds now about to be issued for sale by popular subscription. This is the entire matter, and at those particulars could have been easily obtained by uuy Can a Fleet of EnIili VyseN L.t Before Tlfiu ? New York, Jan. 8 A Sau npU-Ul from Washington says the fortifica tions of San Francisco have bec-a strengthened the past week through the addition of three ot the most powerful pneumatic guns yet tested, each of which threw 503 pounds of high explosive upward of 500 yards with precision and terrific effect upon the water where it struck. Columns of water were thrown as high in the air as the Washington monument and the aim was so true that there would have been no difficulty ia liit tiug any ship which they might have been aimed at. With 500 pounds of gelatine a range ot i,i.)J yards was secured, explosions occurred both on impact with the water and with a fixed fuse, two seconds after the shot struck, the water iu each in stance being tossed like geyser spout over sixtv feet io tho a;r. With tho charge reduced to 100 pounds the guns propelled shells three miles and hit bo near the mark aimed at that a battleship would have been easily blown to pieces had she been the target. These three guns are similar to thoso which are now pointed at Sandy Hook, but the tasts demonstrated that ltncrove- ments have been made which place the new weapons in advance of those at New York, both in accuracy and power of range. Other guns will be placed at Bos ton and tho important coast'.viso cities included in the fortification plan of tho war department. The success attending the trials at San Francisco has sealed to tho satisfac tion of tho ordinance expert the value of that type of weapon for the coun try's defense; and hereafter some of these guns will be stationed at the important cities along the seaboard where the department proposes con structing defenses invulnerable to attack from the 6ea. Eminent orduanca experts of the army, including tjrenerai t lagier. have contended that the pneumatic gun will prove invaluable in dealing with a large tleet and ships would not dare approach within its range, knowing that an explosion of 500 pounds of gelatine iu the vicinity of a vessel would have a most disastrous result upon those oa board. It is said that one shot from a dvnamite crun would be worth more than broadside from a war ship, and that the country cau risk making a tiue shot occasionally with results as ef fective as those following the iui S5T ft fc. retary Herbert Says 1,000 .More Men Are Needed. Washington, D. C-, Jan. S Sena tor Hale to-day reported from the committee on naval affairs an origin al bill authorizing the enlistment of additional men. The bill was pre pared at the navy department and was sent to the naval committee with a letter from Secretary Herbert giv ing the department's reasons for de siring the legislation. The bill au thorizes tho enlistment of 1,000 additional men, and also extends to the President the discretion to in crease the enlistment from the naval reserve indefinitely in case of exigen cy. The secretary says in his state ment to the committee that the number of men authorized by exist ing law is barely sufficient to equip the vessels which are at any ore time in commission. "If," he adds, "a new vessel is to be sent to sea some ship in service must go out of commission, and the enlisted men oa one be transferred to tho other. If by iv.ison of any public exigency it should become necessary to place all the vessels of cur navy in actual service at the same time it would be impossible to do so for want of crews to man them. Considering the constantly recurring emergencies of the service and the number of vessels soon to be completed, the urgent necessity for the enlistment of 1,000 addition al men becomes obvious." Mr. Herbert says that the second provision ot tne mil is intended to make reasonable provision for eme-r gencies which may at any moment occur and which might arise when Congress was not in session.

Thousands of Homes Demolished and Many Persons Killed . Teheran, Persia, Jan. 0 Two arthquakea have occurred in the district of Khal, the first on tho night of January 2. Upon that occasion the large village of Jan Janbad was destroyed, several others were partially destroyed and 300 persons were Killed. The second earthquake occurred duiiue: the morning cf January 5 and was very severe. It was ftlt over au area of 1G0 miles. The town of Goi was destroyed and 1,000 houses were demolished. In addi tion great damage was done to many villages. The loss of life was very great. There were 800 persons killed in Goi alone and large num bers of cattle and sheep also perish ed. The town Goi, or Khoi, which has thus been wiped out by earthquake, is one of the best laid towns of Persia in its modem quarter. The district of Khal Khal, in which the earthquake waves seem to have done J the most damage, is in the province of Azerbijian, in the extreme north western portion of Persia, immedi ately adjoining the province of Van, in Armenia. Khoi lies in 08 degree, 33 minutes, north latitude, and 45 1Z east longi tude, 77 miles northwest of Tabriz, and about as far south of Mount Ararat; and was, before its destruc tion, on the great trade route be tween the Luxine and Persia and cn the Kotura. a tributary of the Ars, which was crossed here by a seven arch bridge. It had quite an elabor ate system of fortifications, which i were, liowevfer, in a ruinous state, and uu inner high wall llanked with towers, th- intervening space being occupied with gardens and mud hove's. It was in the central por tion cf the city that its beauty lay. I cool fetreams and lines of willows o streets. There were a few good buildings, including the Governor's palace, several mosques, a large brick bazaar and a fine caravan BeraL The chiif manufactures were copper wares and worsted socks. In Sep. 4 "ruber, 1SS1, Khoi was visited by a seriea of violent earthquakes, the seismetie waves running northwest and southeast in the direction of the main mountain ranges. The population numbered about 30,000, including many Armenians, who occupied a separate quarter cf the city. The district about the city consists of an elevated plateau, sixty miles by ten or fifteen, highly culti vated by a skillful system of drain- irrigation, producing a a e and S2nes of iertne oasi?, laid, out in meadows, gardens and tillaga and yielding rich crops of wheat and bailey, besides apples, pears, cher ries, walnuts, chestnuts ana unrival led mulberries. The province of Azerbijan is one of the most fertile in Persia and travellers give enthusiastic descrip tions of its orchards and gardens and the delicious fruits which they yield. The population is of a very varied character, comprising Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians, Tartars, Per sians proper and other tribes and is roughly estimated at 2,000,000. The Persian army is largely composed of natives of Azberijan and the province is snder the government of the heir apparent to the Persian throne. Lynched on the Way to Court. Lexincton.

The navy department took steps today to learn how speedily all the moni tors now under construction, could be equipped for service in case of au emergency. The various bureau chiefs were consulted and reports made as to the length of time eacli branch of work required. From this it appears that the low free board monitor Monaduock, now at Mare Island, will be ready by February 1. The Miantonomah, a double-turret ea monitor, now out ot commission at League Island, can be made ready or service iu fourteen days. The testiug of her pneumatic sleeriug ap paratus is about the only feature re quiring the time. The low fee board monitor Terror, now at New York, will require sixty days to be made ready for service. These three crafts will make a powerful acquisition to tha available naval vessels. They are fully equipped with armor, aud the few days required for making them ready for sea will be spent on miuor finishing touches. It is expected also that the ram Kahtadiu, will be ready for service at au early day. The department id in communication with the Bath Iron works as to certain minor changes iu the vessel, aud General Hyde of the Bath company, will be here tomorrow to make necessary arrangements.

John Evans was cruelly deserted by her husband at the new union station last night. The couple arrived here yesterday afternoon from Tuskaho- ma, L T., where Evans had been en gaged in merchandizing. When they were married, some jears ago, Mrs. Evans had $10,000 in cash. When they sold out a few days ago Evans realized 815,0000 in cash from the sale, and they started to Hamburg, Ia., to visit friends. Arriving here, Evans disappeared with tiie money, leaving his wife but SI. She was to-night furnished transportation by Mayor Shepherd to the borne of her parents, at Hamburg, Ia. The police could find no trace of her husband, who, it is supposed, went to St. Louis. asked Mr. Piatt what would be done about second choice. He told them nothing would be done at present and so far ar he was concerned he rad no second choice and the second of New York would be one of the kst things considered at the nation al convention.
