with Senator Thurston aed Nelsoa
Dingier.
Cleveland. O., Dec. 3. Mark Hanna
looked happy this afternoon. He said
that ha felt hapuy. He had just re
turned from a two days' conference
with McKluley. He was askod:
"Mr. Hanna, has It been settled
whether you are to be the next secre
tary of the treasury or the next senator
from Ohio to succeed Senator Sher
man?" "Never mind what It will be. Ycu
newspaper fellows are smart, and I will
fool you all yet."
He refused to throw any light on
what he meant by the remark onlv to
say that he knew what he was talking
about, and that it would all come to
pass in duo time.
When asked about his proposed
Washington trip he said:
"I will leave for the capital Friday
noon. One of the chief objects of my
visit will be to urrange for the Inaugu
ral ceremonies. If present indications
augur anything I believe that the pomp
and splendor attending McKinley's In
auguration will be the grandest ever
seen."
"Will you hold any Important confer
ences?" "I wilt have several consultations
with leading Republicans. Will likely
meet Senators Sherman, Quay. Proctor
and others. Cannot say who the others
will probably be."
"Has Mr. McKlnley determined to call
a special session of congress?"
"Not yet. It Is a little early to de
cide definitely on that point. There
are too many other matters to be de
cided before reaching any definite con
clusion on that score. I do not know
whether a special session of congress
will be called or not."
M'KINLEY'S MANT CALLERS.
Canton, O., Dec. 3. Major McKlnley
discussed many question with many
men today. His first extended Inter
view was with Senator J. M. Thurston,
of Nebraska, who told him about the
situation tn the west and discussed at
some length the probable course of con
gress this winter.
Major McKlnley then had a pleasant
chat with Mr. Charlton, a member of
the Canadian parliament, who had
some interesting suggestions to make
on the subject of reciprocity and of the
establishment of closer commercial re
lations between this country and Can
ada. Hon. W. E. Mason was the next
caller. His call was a purely personal
one and he stated to Major McKlnley
that he was a candidate for the senate
of the United States and only asked
fair treatment from his opponents.
Nelson A. Dlngley, of Maine, and hie
son were the next callers. Major Mc
Klnley had a long talk with Mr. Dlng
ley and Senator Thurston participated
In a part of the conference.
Late In the afternoon Senators Mitch
ell and McBride and Representative
Hermann, of Oregon, called and had
pleasant chats with him. Senators
Thurston and Mitchell left for Wash
ington this evening. Mr. Dlngley ex
pects to set out for the capital Friday
afternoon. General Stuart L. Wood
ford stopped off on his way to Chicago
to pay his respects to the president
elect, and dined with Major and Mrs.
McKlnley tonight.
Representative R. W. Taylor, of this
district, arrived from Washington this
afternoon. He said the opinion pre
vailed at the capital that Senator Sher
man had decided to become an active
candidate for re-election to the senate
of the United States.
Another caller bound for Washing
ton today was Representative John
son, of North Dakota.
NO CABINET MAKING.
There was no cabinet making today.
Major McKlnley talked with the vis
itors, whom he took into his confidence
upon questions of public and - party
policy. Senator McBride, of Oregon,
thinks his state Is entitled to recogni
tion and calls it the banner common
wealth of the Pacific slope, but neither
he nor Senator Mitchell made any cabi
net suggestions to the president-elect.
Senator Thurston said he would not
accept a place In the cabinet if one
were offered him.
Some of the Grand Army men talk
of urging their commander in chief,
General Clarkson, tor a cabinet posi
tion, but it Is not at all likely that
Nebraska will be recognised in this
vay,

THE POPE DISPLEA9ED.
lie Doe Not Like the Gessif Over
Bishop Kcaae's Removal.
Washington, Dec. 3. The flood of
gossip, following the deposition of
Htshop Keane from the rectorship of
the Catholic University of America,
appearing in the American newspapers
has reached Home and has caused
grave concern. This is shown by the
unusual step taken by the cardinal
secretary of atate in sending the fol
lowing cablegram received this after
noon at the apostolic legation here:
Rome, Dec. 3.
Monslanor Martlnelll, Apostolic Delegate,
Washington.
The Holy Father has learned with great
sorrow or the agitation created in the
United States by pretended correspond,
nee and telegrams from Rome announc
ing measures soon to be taken asatnst
vmlaent American prelates and distin
guished professors of the Catholic uni
versity. Your xcsllncy will .authorita
tively deny all such falsehoods, whluh aro
the product of reprehensible machina
tions. A Catholic churchman well versed
with all the steps leading up to Bishop
Keane's removal said tonight, that the
action of the holy father In sending the
cablegram above quoted, should put
a stop to all further gossip oa the sub
ject. It wao well understood, he said,
In church circles, that Bishop Keane's
removal wae brought about by Ger
man ecclesiastic Influence and It was
hoped by the same Influence that fur
ther charges In the same direction and
following the same lines would follow.
While he deprecated sensational news
paper talk, in this lnstance.lt seemed to
him to have had an excellent effect, as
It had reached the ears of Rome, which
had called a halt on the assault being
made bv the German ecclesiastics on
the American party of the Catholic
church In America. The American
party, he said, had not lifted a finger to
repel such aaaaults, nor had It sent
tales to Rome, but simply abided Its
time, with the result that the holy
father had now taken the matter In his
own band.

.More of the Shocking Details Como
to Llght'-Uenetal Wcjler's Part in

to Locate the Lneniy at Pinar Del
Rio.
Key West. Fla., Dec. 3. Passengers
who arrived from Havana last night
report that Weyler's campaign in Pin
ar Del Rio so far is a complete failure,
despite the fact that he has sixty thou
sand men In the province. When Wey
ler left Artemisa he formed a conlumn
of 10,000 infantry, 1.&00 cavalry and ten
pieces of artillery and marched skirting
the base of the hills on the southern
side, and seeking an opening to attack
Maceo, who Is strongly fortified on top
of the hills. It appears that Maceo has
gathered all his forces and Is now en
trenched In the hills waiting Weyler's
attack. There Is, It Is asserted, no
truth In the report that Maceo has di
vided his forces Into small bands to
elude combats, and It Its further de
clared that It Is known on authority
that Wevler has no view of meeting
Maceo. Gomes with a large force Is
reported steadily advancing west, mov
ing slowly on account of great impedi
ments In the way of cannons, infantry,
etc. He is now reported In Santa Clara
province and it is said is coming with
20.000 men.
There are more shocking details of
Lopez's Coloma's execution. General
Martlnes Campos. It Is said. Is indig
nant at the injustice committed In exe
cuting Coloma. Campos obtained the
queen's pardon for Coloma and sent a
telegram so advlslnb . The message ar
rived at noon, but Weyler pocketed It,
so report says, and ordered the exe
cution to proceed and Coloma was shot
at t p. m.
There Is great Interest In Havana
concerning President Cleveland's forth
coming message and the action of con
gress on the Cuban situation. The
Spaniards and Cubans alike are anx
iously awaiting results.
THE QUEEN PRESIDES.
Madrid, Dec. 3. The queen regent
presided at a meeting of the cabinet
council today at which Premier Cano
vas announced the arrival of General
Polavlejo, the new governor of the
Philippines, at Manila. The premier
also announced that the Insurgent lead
er, Maceo, had disappeared from his
position In the Cuban province of i .nar
Del Rio and that the Spanish troops
under General Weyler were pursuing
him.
Havana, Dec. 3. The expectation of
Loyalists here is at a high point, they
wishing to hear of a decisive defeat of
the rebels in the province of Plnar Del
Rio by the troops under command of
Captain General Weyler. Since bin re
turn to the front from Havana, gen
eral Weyler has had no engagement
with the Insurgents. In fact, the Span
ish scouts have not been able to locate
the enemy, and the position Is not
known of a tingle one of the rebel par
ties. 'The last teport received here s at
ed that General Weyler and his forces
were encamped near Los Palaclos.
The condition of General Gonzales
Munoz, who recently returned to Ha
vana suffering with fever, has become
worse, and fears are entertained that
he will not recover.
LIKE RATS IN A TRAP.
Thrte Haadred Spaalards Shot Dowa by
Cubioi'-Atiack Quanabtcea
Mar Seriaui Tim Repsrtid.
Havana, Dec. 3. The facts which are
just leaking out In regard to the Insur
gent attack on Uuanabacoa, on the out
skirts of this city, on Tuesday last,
show the affair to have been much
more serious than at first stated. The
Insurgents claim that Ouanubacoa was
attacked by several bodies of Insur
gents, while another Insurgent force
fired upon the Spanish outpost at Uu
earanas, on the coast. The garrlaon of
the fort, It is added, left that place to
rtaist the attack on tbt town, but was
cut off between stone walls and farm
fences by about 300 Insurgents, und.
In spite of the gallant defense made, all
the Spaniards were killed.
The exact number of soldiers slain
Is not known. It is admitted that a
number of Insurgents were also killed;
but, here again, the number is not
stated.
On the other hand, the Insurgents are
said to have burned seventy-four hous
es In Uuenabacoa, Instead of one houhe,
as the official report of the affair stated.
Turther details show that the fight
ing began at 10.30 on Tuesday night.
The Insurgents first fired upon the
Ppanlsh outposts of the city and sub
urbs, and. In s:ite of the prompt pre
cautions taken by the military com
mander and the fact that the local gar
risons were almost immediately placed
under arms to repel the Invader, the
latter, after an hour's skirmish, broke
through the Spanish picket lines, en
tered the city and set fire to a large
number of houses in Aguacate and Palo
Blanco streets.
These thoroughfares, as a rule, con
tained private residences or cheap
buildings occupied by refugees. Only
one store of importance was burned. It
Is said, although the Insurgents made
many efforts to set fire to other stores.
The local authorities are doing ev
erything possible to conceal the real
facts In the case, but there Is no doubt
they have received a bad scare, and
that the Insurgents have demonstrat
ed that It would not be a very difficult
matter, In spite of the reports of the
military commanders, to create Just
such another "scare" to my the least,
tn the city of Havana itself. .
WATERS OF CHIPPEWA.
Thcr Are Still Creeping Toward the
CityTroiihIc Abend.
Chippewa Falls. Wis., Dec. 3. The
waters of the Chippewa creep slowly
into the city and the prospect of an
early end of troubles is still remote.
Th water extends half way to Cen
tral street now, and all buildings that
were occupied yesterday are Inundat
ed. That portion of the town which It
was expected would be the first to suf
ferthe block on the bank of the creek
between Spring and Central streets
has escaped so far. and most of the
'business houses there continue to
transact business, although It now ap
pears that they will be forced to va
cate in a short time. Colonel Jones,
the government engineer, who Is here
examining the situation, has few en
couraging words to offer. He believes
the gorge will not go out suddenly, but
Is not yet prepared to say whether or
not the dynamite can budge It. It Is
believed he will not authorize such an
attempt to be made. Up to 9 o'clock
tonight 2.000 pounds of dynamite had
been used on the gorge, but with little
effect. To make matters worse a heavv
snow storm has set in and more ice is
forming. The people are panic strick
en and men are asking each other
where it will be. Ttusineas is demoral
ized and the loss In the aggregate will
reach fully $100,000. Reports from the
farming country are distressing. Hun
dreds are homeless, all their personal
effects being swept away. The gov
ernment will be asked tomorrow to
send men to try and blow up the gorge.
This Is believed to be the only hope now
to save the entire city from being in
undated. CYCLONE IN THE INDIES.
Heavy Floods Also Cause Loss of
Life and Property.
Kingston. Jamaica, Dec. 3. A cy
clone, accompanied by heavy floods, has
swept the eastern West Indies, causing
great loss of life. The Islands of Trini
dad and Barbadoes have also been
Hooded, causing immense damuge, but
no loss of life has been reported.'
Immense damage to property was al
so done by Hoods in the Islands of
Trinidad and Karbadoes, but so far as
known no lives were lost on these
islands.
From the advices now at hand. It ap
pears that the island of St. Vincent, one
of the Windward group, and the island
of Montserrat, one of the leeward group
suffered very severely. A number of
sugar, coffee and cotton estates were
inundated und in some cases the entire
crops were torn out by the roots and
curried Into the sea. Many of the per
sons drowned were negroes.
TO DEPOSE THE SULTAN.
The Powers Will Consider a Project
Having for Its Object the Dis
mantling of Turkish Forts.
London, Deo. 3. The Dally News will
say tomorrow that the powers will
shortly consider a project having for
Its object the occupation by Russia of
the northwestern corner of Turkey,
formed by the Bosphorus and the
Black sea, to about half way down tne
Bosphorus, which together with the
Hellespont, will become entirely free
to the vessels of all nations.
The forts along the Hellespont will
be dismantled, and the powers will as
sume the protection of the Hellespont
and Constantinople. The paper adds
that the project provides for the sultan
retiring from the rulershlp of Turkey.
BAYARD'S CHRISTMAS.
The English Joaraals Art Wrangling
Over a Proper Testimonial.
London, Dec. 3. In Its Issue tomor
row the Dally Chronicle will publish an
article on the proposal of the Dally
Telegraph to open a public subscription
for the purpose of presenting a national
Christmas gift to Ambassador Bayard.
The Chronicle while admitting the Tel
egraph's kindly motives and Mr. Bay
ard's claim to reward, condemns the
suggestion as Improper and opposed to
diplomatic etiquette. The mere Idea,
It says, is enough to bring cold per
spiration to the brow of the most de
serving diplomat.
Mr. Bayard, however, much as he
may appreciate the good will of the
proposal cannot possibly accept such
a gift. He will foresee that the propos
ul will be ridiculsd in the United States
as a Journalistic advertisement.
, The Chronicle suggests that dis
tinguished Englishmen give a banquet
to Mr. Bayard to show the estimation
in which he is held here.

Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 3. The first
person who greeted Senator Quay when
he arrived at the Lochiel hotel this
evening was Banking Commissioner
Gilkeson. Other state officials soon
found their way to the hotel, and with
these came other politicians from dif
ferent parts of the state. All wanted
to learn the name of Senator Quay's
choice for United States senator and
they did not go away In the dark on
this subject. It is now clear that Sena
tor Penrose Is to be the Quay standard
bearer in the contest against ex-Postmaster
General Wanamaker, and It Is
Intimated In Quay circlet that Gover
nor Hastings will not make it unpleas
ant for those who refuse to endorse his
candidacy. It Is said that he will re
tire from the race with the prospect
of being urged for a cabinet position
in the McKlnley administration. Many
of those who have called on the gov

contest between Penrose and Wana

battle Is on.
Senator Quay and Governor Hast
ings did not meet tonight, but will have
a talk over the situation tomorrow.
Congressman-elect Connell, of Scran

pleaded the cause of the governor.
Senator Quay returns to Washington

LOST IN THE PYRENEES.
A Woman and Two Men Abandoned
to Die in the Snow.
Paris, Dec. 3. A score of Spaniards,
crossing the Pyrenees on foot, had
reached Gavarnie, in Franco, where
they related with apparent remorse
that they had left a woman, unable to
proceed, with her husband and broth
er on the snow two hours distant.
Guides hurried back to the rescue
and they heard calls for help, when a
sudden avalanche locked the moun
tain pass to that the guides were
obliged to return to Gavarnie and wait
there for two days. When they finally
reached the ill-futed trio two of them
were dead and the third was dying.
