Secretary Hay Engaged in Ascer
taining the Opinions of
Senators.
The Cubans and the Piatt Amendment
Views of Senator McComas.
Washington, Special President Mc
Kinley has conferred with a number
of senators acd representatives on the
back and forth action of the Cuban
constitutional conveution on the con
ditions offered Cuba, and its deciding
to seud a commission to Washington.
The president will courteously receive
the commission, but will make it
plain to them that the conditions offer
ed are final aud that they must be ac
cepted sooner or later. - The opinion
of the president and those with whom
he ha3 conferred, including democrats
as well as republicans, was reflected in
the following statement . made by
McComas, just after having bad a talk
with the president: 'The Cubans are
simply standing in their own light by
not accepting the terms of the Piatt
amendment. This amendment was
necessary, just and ultimate. We can
not change a single one of the provi
sions of the amendment in justice to
the Cubans themselves, not taking in
to consideration our own interests.
Each provision is a prop to the future
republic. If a committee comes up
here from the Cuban constitutional
convention, I think they will. find that
out. They certainly cannot accom
plish anything in the way of modifica
tion to the Piatt amendment. They
will learn what they ought to know
now, that the president has no power
to repeal or modify an act of congress.
They are to be treated all right when
they visit Washington, but I believe
tbey will go back home with' plainer
ideas of the intentions of this govern
ment." Senator Cockrell, a demo
cratic niemberbf the senate commit
tee on Cuba, who has just returned
from a visit to the island, expressed
the opinion that the convention would
in the end accept the Piatt amend
ment, although, he said he would not
be surprised if they took several more
indecisive votes before doing so. He
evidently believes that some of the
members of the convention wish to be
persuaded.
THE ISTHMIAN CANAL.
There is no foundation for the story
that negotiations for a new treaty with
Great Britain, dealing with the Isth
mian canal question, have been start
ed. After the lapsing of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty by the failure of
Great Britain to accept it, President
McKiuley directed Secretary; Hay to
ascertain, if possible, whether two
thirds of the senate could be counted
upon to vote for the ratification of a
treaty that would, in its main features,
be acceptable both to this government
and that of Great Britain. This task,
by no means an easy one, Secretary
Hay is still engaged on, aud until it is
completed, there will be no negotia
tions, as until then Secretary Hay will
be unable even to acquaint the
British ambassador with the basis up
on which this government will nego
tiate. The cable news that negotia
tions had been started in London was
as false as the Washington story.
Whenever there are negotiations
along this line, they will be conducted
at Washington. President McKinley
has absolute confidence in Ambassador
Choate, but this matter is so impor
tant that he intends to keep it where
he can personally watch every step
taken.
A prominent civil engineer, of
Washington, on the strength of a re
cent rumor i hat an American syndi
cate, headed by J. Pierpont Morgan,
had bought or were about to buy the
franchise of the Panama Canal com
pany, wrote to the headquarters of the
Panama Railroad company, in New
York offering his services. He has re
ceived a letter from S. Deming, treas
urer of that company, saying that
there was no truth whatever in the re
port that J. P. Morgan, or any one
else had purchased or was negotiating
for the purchase of the franchise of the
Panama Canal company.
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Lieut Gen. Schofield, who came to
Bean the
Signature
of
The Kind Yoa Have Always Bought
Washington to preside over the con
gress of the Loyal Legion, held last
week, said of the Philippines: "I re
gard it as a good thing for the people
of this country that there is a problem
to be worked out in the Philippines.
The young men will find opportuni
ties out there and the improvement of
them will be a benefit to the country."
REPORT OF GRAND JURY.
The Condition of the Various County
Institutions.
The following is the report of the
Grand Jury in regard to the county
court house, jail, poor house, etc.,
made to the April term of the district
court:
THE COUNTY COURT HOUSE.
The Grand Jury beg to make the
following report on the condition of
the court house and public offices.
We are glad to see that very much
needed repairs have lately been made
on the court house and we would sug
gest that other improvements are
much needed, and we would suggest
that at an early date an addition to
the court house will be absolutely nec
essary. Therefore we suggest that an
addition be built on the west side of
the court house sufficiently large as to
make four other rooms, two below
aud two above, with a water closet
both below and above. Oue room
above for a jury room and one for a
consultation room with water closet
for the accomodation of the court,
and the two rooms below to be used
one for the Grand Jury and the other
for a sheriff's office with a water closet
for the accomodation of the county
officers and grand jurors.
This we think will in the near future
be absolutely necessary as the already
crowded condition of the clerk's office
will soon make it necessary for the
present grand jury room to be con
nected with clerk's ffice, and also the
crowded condition of the register of
deed's office will make it necessary for
the present sheriff's office to be con
nected with the register's office.
With this improvement at a cost of
from $2000 to $3000, will, in our opin
iotif obviate the necessity of building
a new court house for many years.
THE COUNTY PRISON.
We farther state that we most high
ly commend to the good people of the
county our present sheriff, R. H. Sta
ton, for the way in which we find the
county jail,and the care given the
prisoners. We farther state after hav
ing examined the county jail that we
deem it absolutely necessary that an
other water closet be placed in the
east side of the jail, outside the cage,
for the benefit and accomodation of
the prisoners in the main room as the
prisoners make complaint that during
the night they are cut off from the
use of the closet and suffer thereby,
when it is necessary for the cage to be
locked. Such a thing we deem abso
lutely necessary.
COUNTY POOR HOUSE.
We farther commend to tne public
the present county officers for the way
in which we find the county home.
We find the inmates well cared for to
the 'best of our knowledge, although
we find as we overlook and examine
the building that some little repairs
are needed, and the same we would
recommend to be done at once. Some
window glass is a small item and is
the most that is needed.
