to Be Expected, mid Xot to Be Shrunk
From, If Conjsreri Kr cosulietl' the Bel
ligerency or tb Cubans. .
Washington, D.C., Fob. 2a. Cuba ahd the.
f :ugglo of her people for independence from
Ipa n was the subject discussed In the United
Hates Somite, and the indications are that
Jongms is about to take definite action
oward iccogniziug tha bctllgerenoy ol the
tisurgent army, and expressing Its sympathy
vilh too Cucan nooplo lu their desire tor iu,
lepeadeuce. Senators Morgan, Loi je and
Jameron. of the Foreign Halations Commtt
t, and Senutor Call, of Florida, alwaV3 n
Varm friend of Cuba aud her cause, made
' )ettaes, all in beh:il? oi the Cuban patriots,
Hit not all favoring tun same sort of legista
iou lo accomplish the end which all hope to
ring about.
There are three Cuban resolution? now be
ere the Senate, and the one under discus
iion was that reponod by the Committee on
foreign Halations on February S. It is a
concurrent" resolution and reads as follows:
Resolved. By the Senate (the House of
iwpresenti'.tives concurring), that In the
pinion of Congress a condition of pubPo
Var exists between the Government of Sputa
md the Government proclaimed and for
6EHAT0B H. C. LOBOE.
'He vigorously ohampiouetl the cause of ihe
Cuban patilots.)
lome time maintained by foree of arms by
fcepwrple of Cuba; and that th. United
States of America should maintain a strict
leutrallty between the conieuding Powers,
loeordiag to each all the rights of beihger
nts In the poris and territory of the United
States. . .
The feeling that this country is approaon
iig a crisis in connection with Cuba and
3pain becaraa genera! when Senator Mor-
run, of Alabama, specincauy rnw ubum j (
leclarea ttt proDaoiiity oi war wu ojwu
a his speeob.
"I have entered into this matter," said
Senator Morgan, "with great reluctance, be
ause I am aware that we mast be prepared
lo draw our sword and lay It upon
h. table, and say to Spain, 'If you
irant to take it up, take it up.
I contemplate war at the end of any
resolution which we may pass, looking
iither to the recognition of the belligerency
f the Cuban insurgents or ot the inde
pendence of Cuba. I have felt ttiat
t made no dlffere'noe what 6tep we took,
bat it would ultimately end in war. I
Jelleve that Spam will be under obllga
' ions to us for giving her un excuse for
war. She caunot, on account of her
s'atioaal pride, bear the thougiit of surren
iering the freedom or Cuba to her rebellious
mbiects, and yet she knows that ghfl i beat
in, and that Cuba is lost to her. She will
velcomo the opportunity whioh war would
tire her for surrendering to the superior
oroe of tbe umtou states.
Mr. Call then spoke of the bloody contest .
low in progress and the actual condition of
var existing. The oourse of Bpatn had ;
caused revolt after revolt in Cuba. Beading j
rom a manifesto issued by the Cuban au-
horitles, Mr. Call arraigned Spain tor iin
Ksing enormous taxes on Cuba. The manl
esto as read by Mr. Call reflected severely
n the official administration of Spalu. Mr.
Jameron followed in favor of the substitute
which be offered.
Mr. Lodge spoko ai to the need ot aotlon.
3e gave a vivid picture of the present war,
eforrtng to the "lieing bulletins" of battles
coming from Spanish souroes. Martinez
3impos, the ablest General of Spain, had
een recalled because he was unable to cheek
he uprising, and had been superseded by a
nan whose oniyroputation before the world
as that of cold-blooded brutality.
The time had come, declared M'.
jodge. when it was the duty of i
United States to act firm'y and lully.
"The Island in to-day lost to Bpaln." said
r. Lodge. "They may continue to deluge
he island with blood, but the island is lost
o them.
"The United States has an Armenia at its
?ery door," oontinucd tho Senator. "The
Jnlted States can stoi) the horriblo state of
hiogs in Cuba. Let it once oe known that
he United States intends that the pillage
tnd slaughter shall stop and it will stop."
It is seldtfu that the Senate has heard suoh
trark words as were emitted by these speak
rs and they were uttered with such ring
jf genuineness and Are that the enthusiasm
it the spectators found frequent expression
ji loud and long applause, whioh th. pre
riding officer sousht vainly to check.
Throughout thedebate. lasting three hours,
Senor Pastor, of the Spanish Legation, sat
n the diplomatlo gallery. While Mr. Call
irassDeaklng the Spanish Minister and two
nembers of his suit exhibited the bad taste
ipeuly to sneer and laugh at Mr. Call's
rriticism of their Government.
Brotnv Shot to Death by Each Other.
News was received of a double killing, in
which Milford and Felix Fee, brothers, were
hot to death by each other on Slater's Fork,

FORTY BODIES FOUND:
Terrible Hetults of the Dynamite Explo
slon Near Jobanncuburs.
The explosion of dynamite which occurred
at Viedendorp, a suburb of Johannesburg,
South African Republic, was more disastrous
than was- nt flcst belioved. Eight railway
cars loaded with dynamite were being
switched from one track to another when the
explosion took place. At the spot where the
dynamite exploded a holo thirty feet deep
was made in the ground, and every house
within a radius of half a mile was razed to
l the gronuu.
I Forty bodies bava been found, and the
search Is only just beginning. Two hundred
injured persons have been taken to the hos
pitals, where severat o! them have died.
i Comparatively few white persons were
killed.
As yet nothing is positively known as to
what aotuallly oausedthe explosion. Twenty
tons of the dynamite hod been exposed to
the direct rays of the sun for three days.
The latest estimate places the number ot
the killed at over one hundred. Many per
sons are missing, and there Is scarcely a
doubt that they were blown to pieces. The
principal vlotluw were poor Boers, very few
foreigners living at Viedendorp.

counsel or of bis friends" to take ad
vantage of the offer made by the Untted
States Ambassador, ytjnuer instructions
from the State Department, to enter suit
for damages In the Frenoh courts, with the
United States Ambassador providing the
requisite security for costs. On the con
trary, the Waller family, finding that the
United States, on the facts as discussed, de
cline to make an international affair out of
Waller's offence, are contemplating his ro

Shipment of Cattle.
Governor Car Las written a letter
to Secretary Morton, of the United
States Agricultural Department, on an
important suVjcct. The act of Con
greBH regarding the shipment of cattle
from the South to the North designates
tho northern boundary of Virginia as
the quantine line, the safeguard against
the dreaded splenetics fever. But
where a State adopts gotd quarantine
laws against this disease that State is
exempted from the provisions of tho
general law. This is the case .no-w as
to Virginia, that State's ; Legislature
having recently enacted a quarantine
law. This makes the northern boun
dary of North Carolina tho qnartine
limit. Cattle' cannot 1 shipped north
of this limit between February 15th
and November 15th' in each year, un
less they are to be immediately slaugh
tered on arrival atheir point of
destination." 'As Richmond, Va., is the
chief market for North Carolina cattle
it will be seen that this industry is
greatly injured unless some relief can
be had. Governor Carr therefore urges
Secretary Morton toilefer the enforce
ment pf the law. imtiT the Legislature
convenes and enaofs a quarantine law
against States to the so"th of this.
Several hundred North Carolina cattle
are now sent to Bichmand daily.

charming of men, has proved in a
great many ways bis regard for North
Carolina. He writes Governor Carr:
"I wish 'again to visit; your State, the
most favored of the States for agricul
ture a'iid immigration. No State in
the West an equal it." While in the
State Col. MoClure will visit the col
ored normal school at Winston.
Exposition Postponed.
Governor Carr is advised of the post
ponement until ' May, 1897, of the
openiug of the Tennessee Exposition.
At first it was announced that it would
be held the coming May, but the post
ponement was found necessary. Gov
ernor Carr will urge the Legislature to
make an .appropriation for a North
Carolina building. North Carolina
ought for many reasons to participate.
To begin with, as' has been Btated, nil
Tennessee was originally one North
Carolina county.
Rewards Offered,
i .reward of $100 is offered for
Nathan Jones and Francis Jones, who
assaulted, shot twioe and fatally
wounded Mark Biittain, in Henderson
couiity, "near the South Carolina line.
It is thought they are in biding among
their friends on the South Carolina
border. A reward., of $100 is also
offered for the . capture of W. R.
Hampton, colored,. '.who brutally
murdered the watchman at the South
ern Railway depot , at Statesville in
December last. .
Peabody Fund Received.
Mr. Scarborough, State Superintend
ent of Public Instruction, has 'received
$4,5Q0 from the Peabody Fund, to be
divided as follows: $2,000 to the
State Normal and Industrial School;
$2,100 for the. colored State normal
schools; $200 for 'Tom's manual train
ing department at the Durham colored

Ho is nw in jail at Asheville, but his
term of imprisonment ends on the 21th
inst., and Governor Carr will then turn
him over to the Virginia authorities.
A Humane Engineer.

senger train jive ;iniles below Winston
and picked up a farmer named Pol
lurd, of Friendship, who was lying
drunk on the ground nearly frozen.
It is thought he would have died if
he had remained there a few hours
longer.
Delegates Appointed.

the State guard surgeons, Hubert Hay
wood, Robert S. Young and Jnlian M.
Baker, delegates to represent North
Carolina at the National convention of
