TI1K MYSTKKY.
Washington, March 4.-- What will the
president do Willi the Cuban resolutions
should they ever enit-rge from confer
ence committees and leach him? The
fad that It was an open secret that
the president and S-i rrtary Olney were
disposed to proceed in a very conserva
tive manner In regard to Cuban recog
nition, fully appreciating Hie many dif
ficulties surrounding the question, was
slated In I'nited Press despatches of
HVb. -S last, and has since been relat
ed anil coiirtrnied from other sources.
U is well understood in congress that
but for a knowledge of tills fact and
a, consequent Indisposition to embar
rass the executive, u joint resolution,
instead of a. concurrent resolution
would have been adopt, -d by both
houses. The action of the two houses
in passing resolutions, favorable lo the
Cuban Insurgent, gives him the in
dorsement of those bodies should he
deem proper to Issue a proclamation
of belligerency.
I'.ut will he take such a step? That
question was put today by a I'lilted
Press reporter to a number of promi
nent Itepiiblicans and Democrats in the
house. Tile lb-publicans claimed to
have no knowledge of the executive's
Intention ami said the only person
competent lo speak with Intelligence
upon the subject was Mr. Cleveland
himself. The licmncrutic leaders were
equally uncertain. In their opinion the
president will study the situation care
fully, and if lie should he satisfied from
Ihe olllclal correspondence that Wej ler
proposes to inaugurate a reign of terror
in the iiduud, he will incline more
strongly to accord the insurgents bel
ligerent rights than would otherwise
be the case, it Is not believed that un
der any circumstances lie will act upon
the matter for several weeks, should!
he do so tit all. ;
SOfTllKlt.V OPINION'. j
It Is asserted that the opposition to
the resolutions would huve been greater '
In the house had not a yea and nay !
vote been taken. One southern repre- j
sentntlve of marked prominence said
today that the leglsature of his state
liad passed a resolution calling upon !
their members of congress to support j
any proposition expressing sympathy I
with the Cubans, and that he voted for j
the resolution, therefore, because, as he
expressed It, he did not desire to fly In
the face of his constituents. I
Other members recall the promptness j
with which the Spanish government ex
pressed its regrets for the outrages in !
Barcelona on Sunday last; their pay- .
ment nf the celebrated Mora clulm some '
months ago: the protection afforded by
them to Ametican property interests in
Cuba and other evidences of a desire
to placate the I'nited States, and regret
that circumstances forced them to take '
a position which, in their opinion, places
this government in the attitude of em
barrassing a friendly nation already
Impoverished financially and struggling j
In the throes of a civil war. On the
other hand the friends of free Cuba are
emphatic in their assertions that Spun- i
Ish rule In Cuba must be ended at any
cost. SEXOR ELM A VEX RESIGNS.

Duke of Tetuan. has resigned. A meet
ing of the cabinet wns held this eve
ning ut which Senor Klduayen an
nounced that he hud tendered his resig
nation because It wus considered desir
able that the same minister who began

stood that the uke of Tetuan will
Bucceed the retiring foreign minister
and that he will take the oath of uf
lice tomorrow.
At the meeting 1t was decided that
the universities should be closed for
the present. The ministers ulso agreed
to an unlimited credit for the purchase
of artillery and to coll for recruits of
naval infantry ami sailors.
A demonstration was attempted this
afternoon by the students of the uni
versity but the police were on the alert
and the disorderly proceedings were
speedily suppressed. Later 400 stu
dents of the school of medicine und a
number of citizens who hud Joined Ihem
were dispersed by the police. They
soon reassembled, however, whistling
and jeering at the of! leers. One group
of students who Were standing close
by a lletitenunt of police culled the lat
ter a coward and several of them at
tempted to strike him whereupon (he
lieutenant drew IiIh revolver. The po
lice und gendarmes iinmcdiutely
charged with drawn swords upon the
rioters. In the melee which ensued a
few persons were Injured. All places
of business In the neighborhood were

INWELCOME SERENADE.
Alleged Humorists Meet with a Hot Ite
ception at u House In llrijgeton, V .1.
"firlilgeton, X. J.. March 4. A .party
of hilarious sercnaileis, who surround
ed the residence of John Hurt, In North
Ceilarville, met with a very hot recep
tion. Several heads were cracked and
arms broken, w hile Mr. Hurl was prob
ably seriously Injured. Hurt's son, Kl
lison. had taken to himself a wile, and
in accord with thut curious custom of
alleged humorists of the country dis
tricts, a party of young men proceeded
to the house to give them u serenade.
All seemed to be armed with guns or
pistols and iilentifully supplied with
blank cartridges, for they fired a per
fect fusillade about the house, kicking
up a deafening din.
The serenade was not received with
kindly feelings by the Hurts who failed
to Invite tile noisy crowd in. The din
then became unbearable. Mrs. John
Hurt opened the front door ut the in
stant a gun was discharged. The charge
of powder went full in her face and she
fell unconscious to the floor. The
crowd then rallied to a door in the rear,
and tired a volley of blank cartridges
Into the room through that. Mr. Kurt
mid his son rushed out of the house at
this anil charged on the crowd with
hastily gathered cord wood sticks. The
humorists tiled their blank cartridges,
am) young Hurt was also knocked
sprawling with the barrel of a gun and
badly hurt, but several of the boys were
pretty severely punished and some
wrists and arms were broken by the
Hurt's cordwood sticks. Henry Kcvlek
received a. bad fracture of the arm.
Dr. Prank Huteman wus summoned to
Mrs. Hurt und found her seriously In
jured from shook.

Itome, March 4. The excitement,
grief and anger caused by the defeat
oi Ueneral Huratlerl's forces In Abys
sinia were Increased this morning,
when desputchus were received placing
the number of Italians killed at the
buttle of Adowa, and In the long, hur
russlng retreat which followed, at !.
OiMi. It Is not believed thut even these
terrible llgures really tell of the full
extent of the disaster. No mention Is
made in these despatches of the wound
ed und It Is feared that those who fell
wounded during the long retreat, more
than lil'ty miles, uceordlng to general
report, met a more terrible fate than
those who were killed on the spot.
Throughout the night the garrison
here was kept under arms and mounted
patrols traversed the principal streets,
which were filled with people all night.
Kurly In the morning every public place
wus crowded with exciled men and wo
men. A number of disturbances, fol
lowed by arrests. took place, and the
Indications are that the people are tuk
Ing a very threatening attitude, not
only in llils city, but throughout Italy.
Demonstrations against the Crlspl min
istry and even ugalnst the Crown are
reiiorted from a number of towns In
the provinces. In spite of the fact tliat
tlie authorities are straining every
nerve to suppress all ulariulng news.
It is said that the government wus
aar yesterday of the full extent of
the doles', bill that it was Judged to
be dangerous lo allow the iuformutlon
to reach the public suddenly. The re
port of t In' defeat, accordingly, was
ullowed to leak out, and the War of
llce officials permitted It to be "rum
ored'' that aim men were killed. Alter
tills came the "report" that li.aiHt sol
diers hud fallen, und now it is "ud
inllted" that ii.iHH) Ituliun troops were
slain, "in addition to severe loss among
the native troops serving under the tlag
of Italy." The wildest kind of Illinois,
therefore, are circulated and find be
lievers. In some of the clubs the num
ber of killed und wounded Is placed ut
pi iitm.
FF.TKS Pt ISTPONKD.
All fetes have been Indefinitely post
poned anil masses for Hie dead have
been celebrated this morning In every
Catholic church in tills city. The Te
Ileum, by order of the pope, will not
be chanted today 111 St. Peter's, and
the receptions, etc., In celebration of
Ids coronation anniversary have been
abandoned.
The news from the provinces which
came later in the day was very alurm
ing. It was stated tliat In a number
of places the police hud been utterly
unable to cone with I lie populace and
thut the troops huve been called upon
to restore order. The soldiers appeur
to have been as helpless as the police.
In several places the crowds were fired
upon. At Milan the troops, aflvr vainly
trying to disperse a mob which was
making a demonstration against t lie
government llred a volley, mostly over ;
the rioters' heads. One man was killed
and several were wounded. This in
creased the excitement, and It Is re
ported that the troops were stoned and
had to dear the public square at the
point of the bayonet.
Dispatches received here from Ven
ice say that Intense excitement prevails
there, and that there wus a number
of riotous demonstrations during the
night. A large crowd assembled ut the
Piazza San Marco and speeches were
made ugalnst the government, con
demning; the manner In which the
Abyssinian campaign had been conduct
ed and calling upon the military au
thorities to try Oeneral Huratlerl by
court-martial. There was another
popular demonstration against the gov
ernment at Venice this morning, and
the mob was only dispersed by the po
lice with the greatest difficulty and af
ter a number of arrests had been made.
Just before noon today It was an
nounced that (ieneral Haratierl had
been recalled to Home, and that upon
his arrival here his conduct of the
present campaign and the defeat of the
Italians at Adowa would be inquired
into. The soeiulists claim that the gen
eral should be shot as an example to
others and thai the minister for war
should share his fate. Ueneral Haldis
sera, who has assumed command of the
Italian troops in Africa, is preparing
n long report on the battle of Adowa,
which will ho forwarded as promptly
u.i possible to the war department here.
M1I.1TAHV CIUTICISKD.
The government ami the military au
thorities are loudly charged with gross
mismanagement of the Abyssinian
campaign, und great indignation IS ex
pressed uguinst the newspapers which
have been goading Cicnerul Huratieti
Into action by taunting him with his
InactK ily. It is said now that the Itul
iun commander was led into a trap
skilfully bulled by the report which was
allowed to reach him that a number of
Ihe Important chiefs of the Abyssinlaiis.
attended by a part of their army, were
attending the coronation of King Men
elek us Negus, or emperor, nt Axun
and that, hoping to surprise those w ho
remained helilml Uetierul Haratierl or
dered Uenerals Alberlone, Arlmondl,
and Dahinoriila to attack the enemy.
The Abyssinians pretended to reti-eat
before the Ituliun advance until the
troops were well within Ihe passes
lending to Adowu. the capital of Tlgre.
Then they advanced upon the Italians
In overwhelming strength. The appar
ently deserted passes became alive with
natives, who buried rocks down upon
the trapped soldiers, while others kept
up a well-directed lire upon the ti ps.
The Italians, it Is said, broke ami tl",l
after making a gallant stand and seeing
thousands of their number shot down
or crushed to death. The Abyssinians
pressed on after the disorganized sol
diery, cutting them down In great num
bers. The troops made repeated stands
and ure said to have behaved with great
gallantry, but all the reserve ammuni
tion was captured and the provisions
and artillery fell into the hands of the
enemy. A number of the Italian de
tachments eventually hud only their
bayonets with which to defend them
selves. The news of the death of Uenerals
Albert one and Dabormidu has been con
firmed, and it Is believed that more
than Mm other Italian ntlieers of differ
ent ranks have been slain.

fore Judge P.utlcr charged with post
dating vouchers for two pensions and
transmitting alleged false affidavits to
an otlicer of the I'nited States for the
purpose of obtaining pension money.
In the post-dating vouchers case there

documents several days ahead for two
parties. It appeared thut In each case
a Sunday Intervened and the dating
ahead was done for the convenience of
tlie parties. The judge said that it was
evident there was no fraudulent In
tent, und thut Hreckenridge was not
a gainer In nny way by the transac

fendant . wus, however, technically
guilty, and a verdict would have to
be taken against him. After it wus
rendered, a Hue of $15 and costs was
Imposed.
Witnesses were then examined as to
tlie false aflldavlts accusation, and the
judge held that a case as to the last

Crusade at Once.
EVA BOOTH'S ACCUSATIONS
Sba Intlmatea That ltalliogtoa Has
Failed to Speak the Truth at All
Times Diviaion in tha
Ranka at Orange.
New York, March 4. The trouble be
tween Kullington linoth, cx-comuiaiidci'
of the Salvation Army, and his sister,
Kva I tooth, the present head of. that or
ganization In this country. Is becoming
bitter, and It is evident that Miss 1 tooth
and her chief associate. Colonel Nlcol,
will do all In their power lo prevent
ollicers and soldiers deserting the army
to follow Hnlllngton Month In the new
religious movement he has announced
he will lead.
Miss ltooth ns sent from Hoston a
circular in which she contradicts the
statements of her brother in the circu
lar he recently sent to the ollicers, con
taining what, he alleged, were the true
facts regarding his retirement from the
army.
Colonel Nlcol said today: "We con
sider the statement to tlie ofllccrs of
the army by Halliugtoii Hnolli nnd his
announced Intention of sinning a
movement similar lo our army n. delib
erate attempt to disrupt the forces of
the army In this country, despite his
private and public, prondae not to do
so.
"Miss Booth has sent to the ofllccrs of
the army a circular In which she In no
uncertain words contradicted Hnlllnti
ton 1 tooth's allegations."
Miss Booth lu the circular practically
accused her brother of not tolling tho
truth.
It was learned today that Major Su
sie Swift, Captain May Wilson and
Captain Kllzubcth Clark, all American
women, w ho have been working with
the army In Kngiund. are now on their
way to this country to aid Miss Hooth.
All of the young women mentioned are
college graduates. Miss Swift Is a
Vnssnr girl. Her father Is a banker lu
a small town In this state. Miss Wil
son Is a daughter nf Dr. Henry Wilson
of this city, nnd Miss Clark's father Is
Dr. Clark, of Itrooklyn. At the nnny
headquarters today the stories that n
great many of the soldiers and ollicers
were resigning were denied.
Commissioner Carrollton, the head of
the Salvation Army Dunking und In
surance department, Is on the Majestic,
bound for this city, to look after tlie
transfer of the army's property by
lJalliugton rtnoth.
H.ULTNOTON HOOTIl'S PLANS.
Commander Hooth, III tin Interview
today, snld:
"1 shall aslc supiiort from, no one,"
he said, "and shall seize no property
which belongs to the Salvation army.
Neither will I accept nny corps unless
they make a written application to tue,
signed bv the majority of the-mem-
bers. When a corps joins the new
movement tlie members must cease to
meet in the Salvation finny hall. Tt
must find new quarters in the vicinity
or even in another part of the town,
Where possible, tlie ollicers in charge
must he with the movement and resign
from tlie Salvation army before de
claring the corps Independent. Faith
ful oflloers and soldiers are of far more
value than big halls and valuable prop
erty. We will begin with nothing,
trusting Cndfto provide places of wor
ship and the means of carrying on the
work. I shall appoint no officer to com
mand a corps until I have his or her
assurance that he or she has resigned
honorably from Ihe Salvation army, or
has been dismissed for defending what
they believe to be tho right. 1 must also
have a formal application for the work.
For the nresent 1 shall advise the sol
diers and ollicers to go ahead on the
lines 'they have been accustomed to.
and continue to wear their uniforms.
Within a week the movement will he
well launched, and we will decide upon
a name ami a dellnlte plan of notion."
Commander Hooth, Mrs. Hooth and
Malor Glen are kept busy night and
day In the commander's Montclair
home receiving callers and answering
correspondence.
