Washington, May 16. -"-Discussion
of the administration of affairs in
Cuba bf agents of the United States
occu pied the attention of the Senate
daring the greater part of to day's ses-
81011.
Senator Bacon, Georgia, called
up his resolution directing the Com
mittee on Relations with Cuba to make
an investigation . of the conduct of fi
nancial affairs of the island and addre&s
ed the Senate at length jupon it. He
tnaiut&iued it was the duty of Congress
to make the investigation called for by
thi resolution because it was due the
people of this country to know how
affairs in the island were being con
ducted; and since the disclosures of
the past few days had been made with
respect to the misappropriation of
funds in the postal service, the obliga
tion upon Congress to make an inves
tigation was doubly, heavy, lie re
viewed the. situation - as recently pre
sentfd in" newspaper and official re
ports from the island, and urged that
the honor of the country depended
upon its being able to clear away the
fraud and corruption which, it was
charged, had been discovered. He
maintained that the government of
the United States had no .authority in
Cuba and demanded to know how
soon it proposed to redeem its pledge
aud leave the government of the is
land to its inhabitants.
A House bill repealing the provis
ioa of the law allowing merchandise
' passing through the United States
from any foreign country. to be trans
ported free of duty so far as the Mexi
can free zone is concerned was passed.
A resolution offered by Senator
Lodge calling upon the Secretary of
the Treasury for information in regard
to the influx of Japanese laborers into
the country and whether there has
been any violation of the contract labor
law was adopted.
The- Bacon resolution was , then
called up. -
National Honor Impugned.
In speaking to the resolution, Sena
tor Bacon submitted the proposition
that there could be no more manda
tory duty than that which rests upon
the United States that every dollar
collected in Cuba should be applied to
the people of Cuba. - The United States
was a self-constituted agent in Cuban
affairs. .
There were, he said, the still higher
obligations of national honor to inves
tigate. Perhaps at no time had any
people constituted themselves the agent
for a trust such as that we have im
posed upon ourselves in Cuba. In the
decree of honor with which this duty
was performed would the country be
adjudged by the world.
It was, he said, a plain duty of Con
gress to see to it that every dollar col
lected in Cuba should be honestly
handled and rigidly accounted for; a
task difficult, however, because of the
system of absolutism in vogue in our
administration in Cuba. "But," he
.declared, "we are not urged alone by
the voice of duty. The facts urge the
investigation to be made.
"There has been in Cuba the most
exorbitant and extravagant expendt
ture of money."
"If,"- he said, "we had before us
only the naked fact that the receipts
on the island during a single year
were more than 116,000,000 and the
expenditures more than 114,000,000,
we would be bound to investigate the
subject to see that this vast sum had
been properly and prudently han
dled." The Clark Case.
At this point Senator Chandler,
chairman of the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections, called up the
resolution declaring that Mr. Clark,
of Montana, was not entitled to a seat
in the Senate and asked that it be
postponed until Saturday next at 1
o'clock in order that the committee
may consider what action shall be
taken. The request was agreed to. .
Senator Bacon discussed at length
the allowances made to the various
officers in Cuba by direction of the
then Secretary of War, General
AJger. He inquired why such allow
ances were not 'made to General Lee
and General Wilson. He read the
order of General Alger making an
allowance of $7,500 per year, in addi
tion to his salary, to General Brooke.
"What is there," Senator Bacon in
quired, "in the office of the governor
general of Cuba which requires him
to exercise functions of greater dignity
than a general commanding an army
in the field ; to give him vice regal
authority?"
Funds Misappropriated.
Senator Bacon declared that one of
the prominent officials in Cuba had
used the Cuban funds with which to
purchase personal apparel and that
there were well founded rumors that
there had been the most extravagant
expenditure of Cuban funds for fitting
' up luxurious quarters for officers and
furnishing those office-holders car
riages and liveried servants.
"Still farther," said he, "within the
past week the fact has been disclosed
a fact that brings the blush of shame
to the cheek of every American citi
zenthat trusted officials in Cuba have
misapproprinted large amounts be
longing to the people of Cuba. No-
. body knows how large these amounts
are. At first it was stated they were
$30,000; next it was said they would
amount to $75,000; and now it is inti
mated the amounts may aggregate
$400,000. At first one man only was
involved in the difficulty. Now there
are many so many that it is inti
mated it may amount to a conspiracy.
to - undertake the work-.' ha-.
Senators who were.
Arbitrary Exercise of Power.
Senator Bacon maintained that the
United States government was not in
; Cuba by authority of law. Our offi
. cials were not there in , the exercise of
' the war , power nor in possession of
, conquered territory. They were there
simpiy unaer an avowal by congress
in the declaration of war that the
United States would pacify the island
and then leave it to the control of
its own people.' Money spent that
was unnecessary for the pacification
of the island had been expended ille
gally. He inquired by what law or
right we had introduced our postal
system in the island, and by what law
a governor general of Cuba had been
appointed. In the Philippines and in
Porto ,Rico, we had exercised the
power .because they were conquered
territory; but Cuba was- not con
quered territory.
The resolution was then made sub
ject to the call of any Senator; Sen
ator Piatt, Connecticut, expressing a
desire to speak thereon.
Bills were passed granting $100
monthly pension to the widow of
General Lawton; to facilitate the
coasting trade between the United
States and Porto Rico and Hawaii.
Seventy-seven pension bills were
also passed.
The conference report on the Dis
trict of Columbia Appropriation bill
was agreed to without debate.
At 5.15 P. M. the Senate adjourned.
House of Representatives.
The House accomplished little to-day
beside passing the Senate bill to incor
porate the American National Red
Cross No progress was made with
the Alaskan Code bill owning, to the
inability of the two sides to agree as to
the time to be allowed for general de
bate. The conference report on the
general appropriation bill was rejected,
after an extended debate, mainly over
appropriations for sectarian institu
tions. It was agreed that the minority of
the Judiciary Committee should have
until Monday to file their views upon
the Anti-Trust bill and resolutions re
ported yesterday. The agreement was
reached without difficulty.
The House then went into Commit
tee of the Whole for the consideration
of the Alaskan Code bill. The Demo
crats desired three hours' debate with
general leave to print, and declined to
allow the first reading of the bill to be
dispensed with in order to have a lever
to force acquiescence in their request.
The bill contains 600 pages and its
reading would reauire several days.
The clerk entered upon the. reading,
while the leaders tried to adjust their
differences. All negotiations, how
ever, failed, and on demand of the
regular order, the call of committees,
the House resumed consideration of the
Red Cross bill, and after a motion by
Mr. Kleberg, Texas, to recommit had
been lost, the bill was passed. The
Naval Appropriation bill was sent to
conference. -
The House then, at 4.25 P. M.; adjourned.

New Orleans Selected as the Next
Place of Meeting.
-By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Hot Springs. Ark.. May 14.-An
other Booker Washington appeared at
the last moments of the Southern Bap
tist Convention this evening. He was
Rev. Charles S. Morris, a young man
of brown skin and with eloquence that
thrilled the bi? assemblage. He is
a missionary among the blacks of Af
rica and had been granted a few min
utes to make a ; plea for missionary
work in the dark continent. It re
mained 'or the negro to stir the great
gathering to tumultuous enthusiasm,
when, with splendid eloquence, he
told his hearers that Carey was not the
first modern missionary, but that the
pioneers were the goodly women who
took charge of slaves when they land
ed in old Virginia and clothed and fed
them and gave them the gospel.
- It was some time before President
Northen could obtain silence after
the negro's speech. The crowd,
however, could not be restrained
and broke forth into fresh ap
plause. Crowds pressed forward
and struggled to get near enough to
throw money on the platform. Several
hundred dollars in silver and notes
were thrown at Morris' feet He asked
the audience not to give money to him,
but to turn it over to the treasurer
and have it used to send messengers
throughout the South to arouse the
colored people to co-operation in the
mission work in Africa. The outpour
ing of money was so spontaneous that
even after the eloquent black orator
had refused it, it was flung at his feet.
Rev. W. M. Vines, of Asheville,
N. C.j submitted the report on frontier
work and Rev. TS. Potts, of Mem
phis, presented the report on cities,
while Rev. J. E. White, of North
Carolina, made a report of the work in
the mountain regions. The report on
the enlargement of home mission work
recommended that $150,000 be raised
for home missions.
The committee to select the place and
timeof holding the next convention
recommended Asheville, N. 0., but the
delegates selected New Orleans and the
Friday before the second Sunday of
next iillay as the time.

London, May 17, 3.30 A. M. The
British relief column fought the Boers
at Kraai Pan, thirty-two miles south
ofMafeking, on Saturday, according
to a telegram'' received Wednesday
night at Lorenzo Marques from Mo
lopo, one hundred miles north of Ma
feking. , "
This intelligence is accepted here
with some reserve, because it is diffi
cult to understand how. the news could
have been so quickly put on the wire
from a place 132 miles -from the scene
of the engagement.
The'British public is keenly expec
tant of the announcement that Ma
feking has been relieved. News of its
succor is awaited with more anxiety
than has been felt regarding any other
event of the war.
Douglass Story, the Daily Mail's
correspondent at Pretoria, wires:
"The Boer government is holding
back some big news. Feverish activity
prevails here. President Kruger is
working day and night. The latest
Boer official bulletin is that the relief
column has been defeated with great
loss."
Lord Roberts continues passive at
Kroonstad. His cavalry is stretching
like a semi-circular screen many miles
in length, with overlapping flanks.
The railway will probably be com
pleted to day. The Kroonstad censor
permits the passage of long dispatches
dealing with incidents' prior to the
occupation. "";
General French's cavalry had one
lively fight after crossing the Zand
river. A mixed squadron, composed
of the Scots Greys, the Inmakillings,
Carbineers and Australian Horse, took
a kopje and dismounted. The Boers
suddenly fired from a concealed posi
tion, killing many horses and stamped
ing the rest- The Boers then advanced
in overwhelming numbers and drove
the squadron, capturing some. The
Boers robbed the dead and looted the
saddles. Finally a brigade of lavalry
drove them off. .
-Farther north the Hussars charged
the Boers, killing and wounding
many straggles with sabres and pistols.
Lord Roberts' infantry marched 143
miles in seven days. General French
marched thirty miles in one day. The
Boers, when retiring, dragged thirty
two guns through Kroonstad.
Boiler's Operations.
General Builer is moving toward
New Castle. He appears to be using
25,000 men against 5,000 or 6,000. His
operations will almost certainly result
in his forcing the Boers back on his
way into the Transvaal, possibly in
time to co-operate with Lord Roberts'
advance, although General Builer is
now 252 miles from Johannesburg, or
twenty-five days' march.
A Dane who was captured by the
South African Horse says that there
are five hundred Frenchmen with the
Boers who are opposing General Bui
ler, together with many Germans and
other foreigners.
Boers Abandon Bizgarsberg.
"London, May 16. The War Office
has posted the following dispatch
from General Builer, dated Dundee,
May 16:
"We occupied Glencoe yesterday.
The Transvaajers have now evacuated
Biggarsberg The Free Statera on the
Drakensberg are much reduced in
numbers The Carolina, Lydenberg
and Pretoria commandoes trekked
north, from Hlatikul on the 13th and
14tbbf May. Eleven guns were en
trained at Glencoe. The last train
with ambulance left there at dawn.
,y 15th. This result has been largely
produced by the action of the Fifth
division, which during the -last few
days has done a great deal of very
hard work, marching, mountain
climbing and road-making." .
. Not much of a Victory.
London, May 16. The occupation
of Glencoe was merely a logical sequel
of General Buller's advance and the
Boers retiring movement. As usual
the Boers are reported to be flying pre
cipitately; but also as usual, .the
accounts add that their" transport and
gune were removed in safety,- which in
itself is a contradiction of any state
ment that , the Boers were panic
stricken. '
The prolongation of Maf eking siege
only intensifies Great Britain's anxiety
to hear of its relief.
About 1,100 more troops have arrived
at Beira, Portuguese East Africa. The
Governor at Beira, Senor Norrelles,
in the course of a speech at a dinner
of the. Yeomanry said: "Friends as
we have always been of England, we
could never have realized the magni
ficent unity of the Anglo Saxon race

Havana, May 16. Postmaster E. P
Thompson, of Havana, local office, has
signed a sworn statement in which he
says that September 16th last, being in
need of money he . took from the
money order funds $435, giving his
memorandum as a receipt for the
same. When the inspections .were
held Mr. Thompson ordered a clerk in
charge of the money .order depart
ment to place remittances received
that day which would not have to be
accounted for until the next day, suf
ficient to cover the amount of his re-!
ceipt which was then withdrawn until
after the inspection. This was kept up
until April 7th, when the special
agents unexpectedly discovered the
receipt, which Mr. Thompson then
paid. He also admits that Charles F.
Neely, late financial agent of posts at
Havana, endorsed a bill for $350,
which Thompson, had discounted by
the North American Trust Company.
Thompson admits Other irregularities

It is asserted by lawyers that on Mr.
Thompson's own statement he is liable
to arrest for embezzlement according
to the provisions or the Postal laws,
which are very explicit. Much sym
pathy is expressed for him, however,
as it is felt that nothing would ever
have been heard regarding the action
to which he has confessed had not the

the general postal frauds, brought the
matter to light. His friends areposi

Senator Bacon then referred directly
to the alleged embezzlement of pos
tal funds in Cuba and read the order
- under which Major Rathbone was act
ing as director of posts oi uuoa. a no
power conferred upon him by that or
der was so great, said Mr. Bacon, that
it had resulted in a disgraceful and
mortifying condition of affairs.
InterrurjUncr Senator Bacon, Sena
tor Hale, Maine, asserted that the or
der creating Major Rathbone's office
was of "a character of power such as
was given to Roman pro-consuls.
.There is nothing like it in this Igovern
ment. It is a power unrestrained, un
bridled." " -
Senator Bacon said he had under
stood that the majority of the Commit
tee on Relations with Cuba did not de
sire an investigation of Cuban affairs
- by Congress because Senators were
startled at the magnitude of the work
and were afraid it might take the bal
ance of the year. If those Senators
were not willing, said Senator Bacon,

Drunken Negroes Threaten to Kill the

Were Wounded on Both Sides.
By Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Charlotte, N. C, May 16. Eigh
teen drunken negro railroad hands and
timber cutters went to the little village'
of Four Oaks, threatening to kill every
white man. ..They were armed. The
crowd commenced to curse and raise a
disturbance. The town policeman at

conduct, whereupon the negroes mob

and beat him insensibly. His face was
badly disfigured and he was .bloody
almost from head to foot.
Some white men attempted to aid the
policeman but were knocked down or
shot at. Much mischief would have
been done but for ,tha action of the
white merchants and railroad em
ployes of the town. Several negroes
were wounded, but none fatally, and
several white men were injured. The
negroes sent word that the intend to
visit the town again and kill the po
liceman... The whites will be ready
when they come again. The action of
the negroes was totally without ex
cuse or provocation and was a complete
surprise to the whites: At least fifteen
to twenty people on tne two sides were
injured.
