TO PAY THE CUBAN SOLDIERS. Our Government Considering the Proposition to Advance the Money for Their Pay on Being DisbandedThe Situation in the Philip pines Most Acute The Insurgents in Possessiou of Iloilo. The Issue to be Raised Between our Forces and the Insurgents The Volunteer Regiments that are to be Disbanded. Washington, December 28. Immedi ately upon the ratification of the peace treaty by the senate, the presi dent will recommend to congress the enactment of legislation, looking to the settlement of the claims of American citizens for damages sustained in Cuba, Porto Ilico and other Spanish posses sions which formed the seat of war. These claims, to the amount of $26,000, 000, on this score have already been lodged with the statq department. It Js true (hat an unknown, portion of, these are claims based on depredations committed by Cubans, for which it is questionable whether the Spanish gov ernment could be held responsible. On the other hand, it is believed that there are many claims for large amounts that have not yet been presented, ow ing to the inability of the claimants to secure the necessary corroborative, evi dence during the Spanish occupation of the evacuated territories, or because of the belief that it would be fruitless to present any claim so long as Spanish sovereignty was maintained. Now, however, by an article in the treaty, . of Paris, the United States has as sumed liability for'all claims preferred by its citizens on account of depreda tions, or in fact on any proper score. In their turn the Spanish assumed lia bility for any claims that might have been made on account of Spanish citi zens or the Spanish government itself against the United States. What such claims would have amounted to can not be estimated. Nne were filled with the United States government prior to the declaration of war. But it is re called that there was much criticism on the part of high Spanish officials of the alleged failure of the United States government to observe the require ments of the neutrality laws and more. the Spanish government intended to presents claim for a round number of millions -on that score. THE SOLDIERS HAD GOOD BEEF. I William W. Hill, assistant secretary of the war- investigation commission, , and who served in Company L, District or ixiiumDia volunteers, as nrst ser geant and acting quartermaster ser geant, was the only witness before the commission today. Colonel Denby, who presided, ques tioned the witness regarding the moot ed question of the canned beef furnish- ul the volunteers. Mr. Hill discoun tenanced the complaints made by th-? men. He said they came from those who would complain Against anything, lie said the health of his company was Excellent at Tampa and he credited it largely to free use of lemonade. The canned beef first furnished the men, 'he said, was lean, dry and hard, lack ling nutrition, though later it was con 'siderably improved. He believed the -canned beef, whfCh, "he explained, was -canned just after being boiled, was "perfectly fit to eat," though once in n. while he would Teceive a can that was spoiled and Tmnelled badly. He knew a large lot dT-spoiled canned beef had ben found at Tampa before "his -company sailed for Cuba. The men seemed to like the canned beef, "he said, but later became surfeited "with 1t. . The refrigerated fresh "beef, he said, had no evidence of chemical treatment and had a natural appear- jance. The trouble-with the refrigerat ed beef, he thought, was that the men overfed themselves and ate It half cooked. THE TROOPS TO BE MUSTERED OUT. It is said at the .war department that ino change in plans, as to the mustering out of troops will be made as a result of the threatening -outlook In the FiiS Jppines. The secretary of wax has amade some progress :in designating the volunteer regiments to be mastered wut, but no armouncer.ient will be mail until the list 5a completed. It is be ;lie,ved, however, that the list wOl in clude the Thirty-first Michigan, now jsitHInoxville; the Second Tennessee, at 1 Columbus, Ga.; the TThird Tennessee, Vat .Anniston, Ala.; the Third North iCardiina (colored), at "Macon, Ga.; the, SSixth Virginia (colored), at Macon. Ja., .-and the First West Virginia, at CJolurribus, Ga. These regiments wcruld constitute a good part of .the volunteers to be mustered but, for the entire nntn-3er-wlH not run very high, owing to the purpose to first muster out the volun teers t Manila and reduoe the regu lars down to the number contemplated by law -when the" war closed."

Cannot now report probable re sults; will not hear from there for four days, as no cable communications. ' Spanish forces have evaluated all sta- ; tions in southern islands, except Zam- j boanga, Mindanao, by orders, as they say, from Madrid." OTIS." 1 The evacuation by the Spaniards of all the Philippine ports as reported by General Otis, although doubtless in- , spired by a desire to secure their safe- ' ty by concentration, undoubtedly has done much to complicate the problem already presented to the war depart ment of extending the military juris diction of the United states over the islands. It -will now be necessary to expedite the execution of the original plans and it may be fully expected that within a week important events will have happened in the Philippines. It is presumed that General Otis will demand' the surrender of Iloilo into his hands and this demand may at once raise the issue between the in- surgents and our own government of ! possession of f the islands. The prov- ince of Iloilo is set down in the official directories as having a population of 472,000 and it is the second seaport in Importance in the Philippine group. It is located on a river navigable for vessels of fifteen feet draught, so that very few of our gunboats would be available to assist the troops in case it should be necessary to take forcible possession of the city. The Spaniards have chosen a strong place for the concentration of their i troops in the town of Zamboanga, j which, as the reports indicate here, is j strongly fortified and possessed of con- j siderable natural strength from a de- tensive point of view. It is hot doubt- ! ed that they will be able to maintain themselves for an indefinite period against the insurgents, presuming that they are not cut off from obtaining The town itself : Major General Francis V. Greene ar rived in Washington this morning fom New York and reported at once at the war department to Secretary Alger. He came to resign his commission as ! an officer of the volunteer army pre paratory to his return to private life. It is with regret that the department accepts his resignation. - TO PAY THE' CUBAN SOLDIERS. Negotiations are progressing in the matter of payment of Cuban troops, so that on laying down their arms they amay be enabled to pnter. upon civil pursuits and earn their living. Prob ably, no further appropriation by con gress will be necessary to enabie the president to carry out the plan if it should be decided, as it probably will be, to advance the money, charging it against the a-evenues of Cuba, to pay the Cubans part of the money due them for their service in the Cuban army. This debt is not an obligation resting upon the United States, but is one for which the Cuban government will be obliged on its establishment on an independent basis. Pending the es tablishment of a permanent govern ment, there is no authority responsible for the payment of these soldiers and 'unless this government advances the money as -a loan they -will have to go for an indefinite period without pay for services already rendered in the war for independence. The special defi ciency appropriation bill carries an item of 53,000,000 as an 'emergency fundi which the 'government may use for any purpose, and the idea is to advance the money for the payment of the Cuban soldiers out of this fund. It Is under stood, however, that the president has not consented to this arrangement yet- The New Panama Canal Company London, December 9. The Paris correspondent of The Times says: At the annual 'meeting of the new Panama Company today (Wednesday) a long report was Tead.

Mrs. Kate j. Adams, a weii-to-do-woman, was poisoned today in her handsomely fur- street. Her death is connected with a curious chain of events. Mrs. Adams was a widow, 50 years of age, and lived with her son-in-law, Edward Rogers, an insurance agent. Harry Cornish, a well known athlete and physical direc tor of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club, boards with the Rogers. Mrs. Adams awoke this morning with a bad head ache. Her daughter, Mrs. Rogers, ad vised her to take some bromo seltzer. Mrs. Rogers hunted around, but found none of the required medicine. Final ly she remembered that there was some bromo seltzer in Mr. Cornish's room. This she got and gave to her mother, who took a fair sized dose. In a few seconds Mrs. Adams was In great pain and evidently suffering from the effects of a strong poison. Dr. Hitch cock was called in and he tried to coun teract the effects of the poison, which he declared to be cyanide of potassium. Mr. Cornish and Dr. Hitchcock both j tasted the poisonous stuff and in a few minutes both were prostrated by the effects of the slight quantity they had taken. Dr. Potter was called in. lie. revived the two men, but Mrs. Adams died. Mr. Cornish states that on Christmas day he received a neat package address ed to himself containing a sterling sil ver medicine bottle holder in a Tiffany box and in the holder was a bottle marked "bromo seltzer." This pack age was anonymously sent, but Cor nish says that he thought nothing of this, as he frequently gets presents in this way. It was this bottle that Mrs. Adams drank with fatal effect. Mr. Cornish says he cannot think who could have had any design on his life. HUM, BODKIN'S TltML . The Opening Speeches in this Senna - tlonal JIurder Case San Francisco, December 28. This was the most interesting day in the Botkin case since the trial of the wo man for the murder of Mrs. . Dunning commenced. The proceedings opened this morning with an argument by At torney General Whit'j, of Delaware, for the prosecution. Mr. White ad dressed the jury quietly and proceeded to review the testimony brought out during the trial. He called attention to the chain of circumstantial evidence against Mrs. Botkin and said that if the jury believed the evidence of the wit nesses for the prosecution then Mrs. Botkin must be convicted for murder in the first degree. He dwelt upon tho awfulness of the crime and the unsus pecting, defenseless condition of the victims. As Mr. White concluded Mrs. Botkin leaned her head on her arms and seemed to be greatly affected. At the afternoon sessio'n Attorney George Knight made the argument for the defense. Mr. Knights reputation as an orator and ability as a criminal lawyer attracted an enormous crowd to the court room. Many prominent attorneys were in attendance in addi tion to many well known citizens. Mr. Knight talked for nearly three hours and endeavored to convince the jury of the weakness of the prosecution's case and he lack of a motive by Mrs. Botkin for committing such a crime'. He referred to the Maybrick and the Dreyfus case as instances of suffering of innocent people because of public opinion, Mr. Knight denounced Doctor Bishop, the Dover physician who attended the poisoned woman, and was most bitter in his condemn&aon of the methods of the .fc'an Francisco police. Mr. Dun ning, the husband of one of the mur dered women, also came in for a share of the attorney's vitriolic sentences. Particular attention was called to thei fact that Mrs. Botkin. the alleged au thor of the anonymous letters that were mailed in San Francisco in June was In Eureka; Cal., aTi of that month and couhl not have possibly mailed the let ters here. Mrs. Grace Harriss, who luenxinea Airs. isotKin as the woman who purchased the handkerchief which was found In the box of poisoned can dy, was denounced as an untruthful and dissolute woman. The testimony of the candy girls who identified Mrs. Botkin as the woman who purchased the candy was afco vigorously attacked by 'f he lawyer. In speaking ai out the alleged pur chase of arsenic by Mrs. Botkin on ! -June 1st, Mr. Knight sought to show the improbability of her keepin the poison until July :31st when she pur chased the candy. He did not-- how- . -ever, directly deny .the purchase of ar senic.

Two of the men arrested for the Vegas Bomba cafe affair are Span- ish marines. They were surrendered to the Spanish authorities. Urty United States soldiers for being in the city without leave were sent to the camps for punishment. A detachment of 100 Cubans under the command of Jos. Estrance, has entered Havana. The Spanish transport Munchon sail ed for Cadiz today with 2,400 Spanish troops on board. Major General Brooke does not recog nize the Cuban army and will do every thing compatible with tact and judg ment to cause its disbandment. An auxiliary force of Cubans may be form ed, but the recruits will be taken as individuals. Consequently volunteer police work on the part of the Cuban commanders in the provinces of Ha vana, Santa Clara and Pinar Del Rio will not be encouraged. The offers of assistance which are continuously be ing made by the Cuban chiefs are po litely received, but are. not accepted. The Havana newspapers will not be censored in the Spanish sense, but they will be watched, cautioned against incendiary and untruthful utterances and suppressed if habitual offenders. Press cablegrams will not be censored. It is understood that the United States treasury will fix the value of the centene at $4.82 and of the Spanish sil ver dollar at GO cents, j Today the army officers wrho have been appointed sub collectors of cus toms at various posts outside of Ha vana went to schools so to speak. Four teen gathered at th banking house of E. L. Childs, of the Havana chamber of commerce, and were instructed by him in the intricacies of exchange and how to calculate the double ratios of silver to Spanish gold and American gold. This afternoon a Spaniard named Fernandez, a member of the municipal police, was surrounded by a crowd of Cubans in Bombay street. Cuban and American flags were waved in his face. His rifle was twisted out of his hands and half a hundred men yelled to him "shout 'Viva Cuba Libre' or die." Fernandez threw up his arms as if to assent and then when the mob had quieted down to hear what he had to say, he cried in clear tones "Viva Es pana, Viva Espana." Knives were thrust into him and tonight he is dying. It is favorable sport among the Cu ban, young men to stop in- the streets persona supposed to be pro-Spanish and to make them kiss the Cuban flag and cry "Viva Cuba Libra" Some times these incidents have their hu morous features, quite as often the victims are viciously treated. Today a fight was started by some Cubans carrying American and Cuban flags, who declared they had been in suited by Spanish marines. A Cuban. drew a pistol and declaring that he would defend the American flag fired. Other shots followed. According to unofficial reports a Spanish sdldier of the Calarava battalion was killed. Spanish marine fatally wounded and at least one other, if not several others, hurt. This morning two battalions of the First Texas and the Second Louisiana volunteer regiments, which arrived here yesterday on the United States transport Mobile from Savannah marched through a portion of the Prado to Camp Quemados. The mas cot cats of the Texans were borne in front of the column. ine unuea states troops occupied Castle La Punta this afternoon.

Messenger Bureau Raleigh, N. C, December 28. Early yesterday morning Captain W. H. Day told your correspondent that J. M. Mewboorne has resigned as peni tentiary superintendent and that the governor would offer him the place. Captain Day wanted to know what would be thought of this and also of the placing of a good democrat in ab solute charge of all the farms, saying the governor had the power to appoint a fusionist, to serve two years and not, under the decision of the supreme court, removable during his term of of fice, but that he was entirely willing to appoint a democrat. This was told with the understanding that nothing was to be said about it. But in some way the news "leaked yesterday; most probably through the governor's office. J. R. Tillery, from whom the peniten tiary now leases a farm of 2.C00 acres on tho Roanoke, is the man Captain Day has picked to have absolute charge of the farms. Captain Day said this morning to Mr. Tillery: "If I go in j as superintendent, as I expect to .do, I j will turn over all the farms to you. I ; believe you can manage them." "I think I can," said Tillery," if I am given absolute control, such control as Leazar bad when he was superinten dent; that is power to appoint the whole force. Mewboorne has been han dicapped. He has not had control. Trained and. experienced men like Lea zar had are a prime necessity." . The state charters the Weldon Cot ton Manufacturing .Company, capital $25,000, W. T. Shaw, W. E D.aniel and other stockholders. It is asserted that not twenty-five votes will be cast in the legislature against the bill requiring separate cars for whites and blacks. The democrats are a unit in favor of it. This was clearly shown at the democratic state committee meeting last night. At this committee hearty thanks were tendered the many populists and repub licans who at the last election joined hands with the democrats in redeeming the state from negro rule. Special thanks were also tendered Democratic State Chairman Simmons for his great work during the campaign. The biennial report of the secretary of state was completed today. He calls attention to the fact that there is no adequate means for detecting "under ground" insurance, and' alsc refers to the exemption from tax and license of certain insurance organizations com monly called benevolent. He suggests that either all or none have exemption, and says it is better to license and tax all, even if at a reduced rate. The resident agents law of 1897 is not ade quate, but is good as far as it goes. Of land grants he has issued 599. These were for land in all counties save twen ty-four, the greatest number being from Wilkes and Macon fifty-one from each. Legislation is needed as to the redemption of lands. The law on the subject expired in 1891. The office re ceipt for the two years were $186,539. They have been as follows .during the previous two year periods ending in 1892 $90,518; ending in 1894 $102,398; ending in 1896 $120,970.
