RECOGNITION Cuban Patriots Do Not Now Care for the Rights of Belligerents. It Would Hurt More Than Help Them, It Is Contended by Many. An American Vessel Boarded and Searched by a Spanish Cruiser. WASHINGTON, NOT. 12.—President Thomas Estrada Palma, the head of the Cuban revolutionary party, will come to Washington within the next few days. It ia expected that his visit will result in a more definite line of policy regarding what Cubans will suggest or urge upon congress as the most desirable course for the United States to adopt. Mr. Palma is not only the president of the American branch of the Cuban organization, but he has recently re ceived a com mission from the insurg ent government in Cuba constituting him their official representative in the United States. Under these cir cumstances a movement is 011 foot to have Mr. Palma remove his l^eadquar ters from New York to Washington, to be near the seat of government while the Cuban question is under discussion. Are Not Anxious fur llt-cognltlon. Thus far the policy of the Cubans has been towards securing from the United {States a recognition of the belligerent rights of the insurgents. Now. how ever, there is said to be an influential element against this course. They say it would prove disastrous to American nliipping, as it would permit Spain to seize American merchant ships sus pected of carrying contraband goods on the high seas, whereas these seizures cannot be made at the present time out side the three mile limit of the Cuban coast. Shonld Forcibly Stop th® War. Instead of recognition to the insur gents, it is being urged that the United States should adopt steps to put an end to the struggle in Cuba by forcible in tervention if necessary, as was proposed by President Grant in 1876, during the last Cuban uprising. This question will le among those to come before President Palma when he reaches Washington. The- report that General Maceo had been commissioned to come to Washington in behalf of the insur gents is regarded as untrue by those best informed of the course of the Cuban leaders. WAS BOARDED BY SPANIARDS. The American Brl* Harriet Searched lu Cuban W»ters. NEW YOKK, NOV. 11.—The American brig Harriet arrived at Quarantine from Nuevitas, Cuba. The Harriet is owned by Mosle Bros, of this city, and trades regularly between New York and Nuevitas. She sailed from this port on Aug. 29 last, and reached Nuevitas on Sept. 19, where she dis charged her cargo. On Oct. 3 a Spanish officer, with several soldiers, boarded the brig and made a through search for a large quantity of arms which the Spanish officers had been informed were ou board the vessel. The brig was ransacked from stem to stern, but no arms were found. The Spanish officers went so far as to demand that Captain Miller remove from below all his anchor chains. This the captain refused to do and the offi cers wire reluctantly forced to leave the vessel. The United States consul was on toard at the time, but could do nothing. BAMBOO WOULDN'T BURN. Singhalese Gentlemen Criticises Ameri can Handing Methods. WASHINGTON, NOV. 12.— Secretary Olney lias received a letter from Charles Strouter of Colombo, Ceylon, criticiz ing the American method of house building on account of the liability of our houses to fire, and suggesting changes which he thinks would min imize, if not obviate, this danger. Mr. Strouter spent a year at Chicago, in connection with the Ceylon exhibit at the world's fair, and he says that he and all the other Singhalese were astonished at the complacency with •which the Americans regarded the fear ful loss of life, and property occasioned annually by fire. He Tlilhks a Mistake Is Made in using pine lumber as building ma* terial and in the method of construct ing partition walls, most of which are hollow, and are genuine fire traps. He recommends solid walls, to be built either of brick and mortal or of mud and bamboo wattle, after the style in Ceylon. Mr. Strouter says that the Ceylon bamboo is almost impervious tov fire, and that where it is used as a building material in that country no conflagration has ever been known. He thinks bamboo could be grown in parts of the United Slates. Steppe I In Front of Train.

Choctaw Council PauM Ltwi for Pan* ishing Its Advocate*. PARIS, Tex., Nov. 12.—The Choctaw council, instead of showing a disposi tion to acccde to the proposition of the Dawes commission to allot their lands, have displayed the most violent opjosi tion to it. Many of the most intelligent and progressive of the tribe have been favoring allotment, which has had the effect of stirring up the full bloods. A biu was passed "making it treason for inj citizen of that nation to talk allot ment, either publicly or privately aHy where in the Indian Territory. The penalty for the first offense is 100 lashes and six months imprisonment for the second offense it is death, without the benefit of a trial. The leader of the opiosition to the bill declared that its passage meant the breaking up of the tribal* government, and also declared that this was the last session of the Choctaw council that would ever le held. Feeiing is running high over the passage of the measure, and a bloody factional war is predicted. JUST LIKE A WOODEN INDIAN Statue of Wmihlnftoii I'sed aa a Cigar KI| II lu Harlem.

Shiff, a cigar dealer of Harlem. The statue in its present condition presents a curious mixture of art and humor.

The attention of the patriotic societies has been called to the weather-beaten monument. TO FORECLOSE THE MORTGAGE Property of the Oregon Railway Exten sion Company Wanted.

Powers Doesn't Believe Yet That the Are In Karuest. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 12. (via Sofia, Nov. 12.)—As a result of the exchange of numerous telegrams between the representatives of the powers and their respective governments, lasting nearly all day Saturday and Monday, an im portant meeting of the ambassadors was held and the situation wks thoroughly discussed.

It is known that the sultan still refuses to believe that the powers are in accord as to the action to be taken in case of the porte's failure to restore oruer in the Turkish empire. No amount of persuasion seems strong enough to bring Abdul Hamed to rea son. and the opinion is freely expressed that nothing short of a naval demon stration will awaken the Turks to a re alization of the actual condition of affairs. against Maximo Gomez, the insurgent members of the Mahommedan consti leader in command in the province of tut tonal party advocate the adoption of Santa Clara.

COVINCTON, Ky Nov. 12.—While Democratic immajjers attribute the re sult at the recent election to their differ ences on the s lver question and General Hardin's embarrassment in running on Secretary Carlisle's platform, the Re publicans jtr calling attenti* n to the fact that on the congressional vote of last year the 1 en cnits had a bare plurality in Kentucky. MayorRhinck, the h-ad of the municipal government of Secretary Carlisle's home, in the Cincinnati Kiniuir-T says: "I believe that Mr. Carlisle is respon sible in an appree able degree for the defeat of the Dcnn cracy of Kentucky. One single action of his furnished the Republican press with ammunition pre ceding the ejection. I am an humble Democrat, and niv 'influence is not great, but it was earn« stiy exerted for Wat Hardin, though 1 was a Clay man before the convent ion. Mr. Carlisle is A Man of Great Prominence and much influence. When he came home to register a few days l**foiv the election lie was accost by a reporter, who asked him if he intended to vote the Democratic state cket. He is quoted as saying: 4I decline to be in terviewed. I will vote for whom I please.' "Every Republican paper in the state, little and big, seized ujion these words to prove that the schism in the Demo cratic ranks was great enough to defeat Wat Hardin. As a consequence thou sands of Democratic votes went to Bradley. I believe that if Carlisle had replied in that interview that lie was a Democrat and would vote for the nomi nees of Ill's party, Wat Hardin would have been governor. Pullman l'eople Are Alert.
