CUBANS WANT MONEY
ASSEMBLY IS XOT SEEKING A CON
TROVERSY WITH THE UNITED
STATES
AGENTS NOW IN WASHINGTON
They Represent That $:;,000,000 In
1 n»ii Hi i- It- m <<> Accomplish the De
sired End, Disbuiiflnient of Cabnu
Army mid Return of Members to
Civil Pursuits Will Require Not
Lcsh Than 5K1, 000.000.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.— Senores
Jose R. Villalon and A. Hevia, who were
appointed by the Cuban assembly to pre
sent to the Washington authorities the
resolutions of that body, have arrived in
this city. Their mission, in addition to
the presentation of the resolutions, is to
explain in detail the situation with refer
ence to the insurgent army. While the
assembly did not reject the $3,000,000
which Gen. Gomez arranged with Mr.
Robert P. Porter to receive and pay off
the Cuban troops, they believed it to be
entirely inadequate to meet the situation.
They desire at least $10,000,000, and as
much more as can be obtained. They ar
gue that, if the Cuban army Is disbanded
after the distribution of but $3,000,000,
which would give to each enlisted man
about $68, the money so obtained
would be barely sufficient to procure
clothes and return to their homes, leav
ing them no margin upon which to enter
upon the peaceful pursuits of life. With
out the means of subsistence . Senor Vil
lalon says, disorders would almost Inevi
tably follow, and perhaps brigandage.
The object both of the United States and
of the assembly, says Mr. Villalon, is to
secure tranquillity in Cuba, preparatory
to the setting up by the Cuban people of
an independent government, and he says
that it is therefore as much to the inter
ests of the United States authorities as to
those who immediately represent the Cu
ban patriots to see that the disbanded
soldiers are given an opportunity to re
sume civil pursuits. The assembly repre
sents not the Cuban people, Mr. Vilallon
declares, but only those who have been in
arms struggling for their Independence.
Senor Villalon and his colleague will
probably seek an audience with the presi
dent himself, and. If this denied them,
will see the secretary of war. If the
president receives these gentlemen it will
be as visiting citizens, not in their repre
sentative capacity. No such recognition
will be accorded them. If they desire to
present a petition or request to this gov
ernment it will have to go through "the
ordinary channels, and In this instance it
will be through the military arm of the
government. Such a petition when pre
sented will be referred to Gen. Brooke, as
military governor of Cuba, and the one
person authorized to deal with Cuban af
fairs. It is also probable that these Cu
bans will be told that any answer to the
request or petition will come from Gen.
Brooke.
The United States government cannot.
It is pointed out, recognize any person
as representing the people of Cuba, or
Dlaiming to represent them, through the
organization known as the Cuban assem-
My. To this it is Intimated that they
rould not particularly object. What they
i«aire Is to lay the case before the gov-
erning authority, and having done that
their duty is ended.
PRESIDENT IN WASHINGTON.
Returns to the White House Re
freshed by His Ontiiiff.
WASHINGTON, March 28.— President
McKinley this afternoon returned to
Washington after an outing of two weeks
and a day. The special train bearing the
president and the members of the party,
who have been with him throughout the
trip, pulled into the Pennsylvania depot
here at exactly 5 o'clock this afternoon.
1 The party comprised President and Mrs.
McKlnlr-y, Vice President and Mrs. Ho
bart. Garrett Hobart Jr., the vice presi
dent's son; Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith, Dr. Rlxoy, United States
national physician; Mr. Cortelyou, sec
retary of the president; Mr. Clarence Ed
ward Dawson, secretary of the post
master general, and Mr. Barnes, ste
nographer to the president.
The trip was without special incident.
There was no speechmaking, though at
several points along the route today and
yesterday large crowds had gathered
arxious to get a glimpse of the chief ex
ecutive. The special, which ran as a sec
tion of the Florida special over the Atlan
tic Coast lino, proceeded on a slow sched
ule during the trip, in accordance with
the wish of the president to arrive here
in the late afternoon.
Owing to a lack of definite knowledge
of the exact hour of the return there
were only a few people gathered at the
Pennsylvania depot to witness the ar
rival. The train was shifted to a side
track outside the depot, where Acting
Secretary of War Meiklejohn, Adjt. Gen.
Corbin, Secretary Porter- and Mr. Smith
were waiting with carriages.
The president and Mrs. McKinley were
among the first to alight. Both showed
they had been much refreshed by the
outing. The party entered the carriages
and drove to their homes, Mr. and Mrs.
McKinley being driven to the White
house.

LIKE A NOVEL.
Story of the Capture of a Band of
Robbers.
KANSAS CITY, March 28.— There Is
printed here a three-column story regard
ing the arrest of a remarkable gang of
Kansas criminals, who have for yeara
lived by means of robbery and murder.
One of the gang is believed to be the
murderer of Joseph New. who was killed
In Greenwood county, Kan., two years
ago, for which crime New's wife and
George H. Dobbs are now serving life
sentences. So firmly does Warden Lan
dls, of the Kansas penitentiary, believe
in the innocence of Mrs. New and Dobba
that he will immediately urge Gov. Stan
ley to pardon them. Frank Altgood, al
leged to be the real murderer, is In jail
at lola, Kan., under a charge of forgery.
Alvin Bullard, serving an eight-year sen
tence in the Kansas penitentiary for
horse stealing, has confessed that he
Altgood and "Bill" Turner were the mur
derers of New and that Mrs. New and
Dobbs are absolutely innocent.

REPLY TO THE POPE,
Cardinal Gibbons "Will Not Make It
Public at Present.
BALTIMORE, March 28.— Cardinal
Gibbons said today that he had replied
to the American encylical letter from the
pope, but declined to give the text of
his reply to the public on the ground
that it had not yet had time to reach
Rome. After its receipt at the Vatican,
he will make public the text of his let
ter to his holiness, but until then he
would say nothing further than that it
was purely informal in its terms.

Find a New Home.
For the purpose of inducing immigra
tion and of giving those desiring to a
chance to go Into the Northwest to look
up new homes, the Northern Pacific Rail
way has reduced rates to nearly all points
in its territory west of Altkin and Little
Falls, Minnesota. This reduction amounts
to about one-half the normal first-class
rate on both one way and round trip
tickets. Round trip tickets have limit
of twenty-one days and are good for
stopovers; one way tickets are good for
continuous passage only, except that
limited stopovers will be allowed at and
west of Spokane on tickets to certain
North Pacific coast points.
Thi3 gives those who want to go West
a splftidid opportunity to visit Minne
sota, North Dakota, including the Red
River Valley, and Manitoba; also the
Yellowstone, Gallatln, Bitter Root and
Clark Fork valleys of Montana, the cele
brated Lewlston region of Idaho; the
Palouse, Colvllle, Yaklma and Walla
Walla valleys and the Big Bend country
of Eastern Washington, and Puget Sound
Gray's Harbor, Columbia and Willamette
River valleys of the coast region of
Western Washington and Oregon.
