alive to the recent condemnation ot
Julio Sanguilly and Govin cases and dc
- dared that Govin had been tied to a tre
and hacked to pieces by the Spaniards
, :.. He read extracts from letters, giving de
'tails of this and other Spanish atrocities.
His remarks were full of iuformatloi
and Interest, and bad features that wouli
. have made bis presentation a sensations
one had It not been for the paucity of at-
tendance. At no time during his remark)
were two dozen Senators in their chairs.
The Florida Senator" is the most ad
vanced Cuban sympathizer in the body.
He said that if these atrocities continued
to shook the American people,, withoui
waiting for' and even regardless of tb
action ot government, they would pou
-into the island and put an end to them.
He declared that tbe Spanish prison

The conventions laid before the com

vided for the extradition of fugitives f ron

crimes which this country holds to bi
extraditable. The usual precautions an
taken to prevent the extradition of met
charged with political offenses only.
After two days' debate the House by i
- vote of 144 to 103, passed the bill intro
duced by Mr, Load, chairman of tb
' - Committee on Post-offices and Pos:
" Roads, to amend the laws relating to sec
ond-clasa mail matter. The principal fea
tures of the bill were those denying t
the mails as second-class matter samph
copies of newspapers and serial novel
publications and withdrawing from newi
agent the privilege ot returning to tliei
. principals at the pound rate unsold copiei
of periodicals.
. The House Committee on Pacific Rail
ways held a meeting to consider tlx
manner In which the debate on the bill
' to settle the indebtedness of the Unior.
and Central Pacific companies to thi
r . Government sboutd be conducted when
the bill comes before the House.
It will be vigorously opposed by thi
members from the Pacific slope and b
others who favor governmental owner
ship of the roads In preference to an ex
, tension of the time tor paying the Indebt-
. edneas. The opposition will include somi
ot the strongest debaters in tbe IIou
and tbe discussion is expected to prove
of more than ordinary Interest.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
CUBAN'S WAX. WIN,
o Thinks a VlrKlnlau Woo Has Ser
ved In domei'i Army.
Alexandria, Vs., January 7. Arthur
B. Jack, a young man who has been
with Gomez's army in Cuba since last
Uay, acting as a newspaper correspond
ent part of the time, arrived here today.
fhe Cuban troops, he says, have plenty
if food, such as it is, consisting of meats
ind fruits, which is of great importance
to them. - They have an abundance of
imall arms and ammunition and have a
;ood supply of dynamite, which they use
'cry effectively in exploding mines and
uowing up railroad trains.
He says there la no doubt of the death
if Maceo,.ahd states thr.t be was present
vhen the body of that general was bur
ied in the mountains, eighty-three miles
torn where ho was killed.
Mr. Jack is impressed with the belief
hat the Cubans will win in their struggle
or freedom. They are fighting desper-
itely, he said, nnd are daily receiving ac-
icssions to their numbers. In speaking
if the reported cruelties of tbe Spanish
soldiers he said numbers of cases came
inder his observation where children oi
nsurgents had their eyes put out or their
iiands cut oil.
Pardoned by Altgrlrt.
Chicago, Ills. Governor Altgelil cap-
ed the climax of an unusual pardon re
lord by- granting freedom to nineteen
sonvicts, one of whom is John McGrath,
'or a decade the leader of the Henry
itreet gang, and an arch enemy of the
police.
The other Cook county criminals were
urned loose by the retiring Governor,
mt not all of thorn together will be re
ceived in the City with so much fear and
torror as the noted McGrath. Of much
aterest to the police also is the commu-
itlon of the sentence of Mamie Starr, a
ife prisoner at Joliet, sentenced from
!hicago in 1890 for poisoning her -em
ployers. The sentence in her casewas
ommuted by tvelve years, and allowing
'or percentages off, she will soon be free.
