CASILDA, Culm, Jnn. 24. Governor
Oenurnl Wood, who In making a tour of
taapertion of the inland, and part;
arrived hare ou board tho dispatch boat
Ingalls at daylight yesterday morning.
Later the general visited Trinidad and
iaipectcd the jail, hospitals and other
public buildings at that place. Accom
panied by Uencrul 1'Mti-Iliinh Lee, Gen
eral Chaffee, Colonel Black, Colonel Bur
tea and other officers he visited the post
of Company K, Second Infuiitry, under
lb command of Captain Benham, whom
General Wood complimented upon the
manner in which the. jail, hospitals and
streets had been kept clean. A notice
able feature was that the women do all
the street cleaning and the men do the
laundry work. But the most noticeable
feature of the province was the lnck of
public work, which has retarded its prog
ress. General Wood does not believe in
the advisability of supplying the people
with oxen and farming implements, think
ing; It better to supply them as much as
possible with public work and allow the
men to save money and buy the neces
sary implements and oxen, which plan
ha. been found to work so successfully
in the province of Santiago de Cuba and
Puerto Principe and which helps the
country and helps the people as well. The
general is In fnvor of making the people
more self reliant, nnd he thinks this plan
la the best way to do so.
Geueral Wood says the prison at Cien
fuegos was overcrowded. (It her wise it
was in good condition. As the names of
many of the prisoners have been sent in
to headquarters with recommendations
for pardon, it is probable that a number
of them will be released shortly. He is
of the opinion that the hospitals are dirty
and that many improvements could be
made.
The city of Trinidad hns nominally 12,
0(H) inhabitants, but in reality there are
only about 8,(HH) souls in the place. A
majority of them are very poor, although
not in actual want. There are hardly
any persons requiring assistance.

curring here, although some adobe huts

ACCUSED PLEADS HIS OWN CAUSE.
Women In the Unlterlea (inve the
Only Ailnuse Others lllaa the
Mormon Mennte lil on the
I'hlllpiiliir Question.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-Yesterday
was an oratoric al Held day over the case
of Brigham II. Roberts, the Mormon
representative from t'tnh. The galleries
were packed to suffocation, chielly with
women, and the spectators after listening
attentively to the arguments of Mr. Tay
ler of Ohio nnd Mr. Littlcticld of Maine
for the adoption of the majority and mi
nority reports respectively of the special
committee that investigated the case, re
mained long after nightfall to hear the
impassioned words of the accused as he
faced tl house like an animal at bay,
knowing that cvci hand was raised
against him.
Mr. Roberts was very adroit in the han
dling of his case and at times exceedingly
dramatic. Taking advantage of the issue
raised by the division in the committee as
to the method of ousting him, he appro
priated to himself the argument of the
minority that he was constitutionally en
titled to be sworn in and the arguments
ef the majority that, once sworn iu, he
rould not be expelled. He defended the
action of the Mormons in fighting the au
thority of the I'nited Stntes for years,
because, he said, they believed that sen
timent would change and dramatically
statcil that in those days he had rather
have his llesh hewn from his bones than
to have renounced his religious tenets.
He concluded with an eloquent perora
tion in which he said he had never been
conscious of n shameful act and if he was
sent forth he would go with head erect
anil undaunted brow.
Strange to say, most of the applause he
won was from women. But while they
appeared to be his only partisans, other
women manifested their bitter hostility
by hissing him at every opportunity.
Again the senate's session was devoted
entirely to speeclimiiking. Mr. Turner
of Washington concluded his address up
on the Philippine question. He was fol
lowed by Mr. Ross of Vermont with a
thought fill nnd carefully prepared speech,
in which he also discussed the Philippine
question iu connection with resolutions
which he had offered. His presentation
of the question v. as given thoughtful at
tention by his colleagues. Mr. Mt Enery
of Louisiana delivered the concluding
speech of the session on the race ques
tion in the south, lie took strong ground
in support of the constitution of Louisi
ana and of the proposed amendment to
tho constitution of North Carolina, which
it is alleged practically will disfranchise
a large class of voters.
PENSION BILL PASSED.

onded by Mr. Lentz and Mr. Norton of
Ohio and Mr. Robinson of Indiana and
other northern Democrats. All inveighed
against the lack of liberality in the ad
ministration of the pension laws. The
commissioner was ably defended by a
score of members from both sides of the
house. Mr. Malum (Rep., Pa.) charged
that the assault upon him had been insti
gated by the "pension sharks" of this
city, who were robbing the old soldiers.
Representative Payne of New York,
chairman of the ways. and menus commit
tee of the house and tloor leader of the

preme satisfaction und a feeling that he
