The Protest Agaiast the Barbarities Practiced on Cuban by the Spanish .Moaarchjr A War Spirit is Aroused i Jersey City-Volunteers Are Flcaty. -. Washington, Dec. 15. The Spanish legation here furnishes the following translation of a cablegram received today: Madrid, Dec. 15. To Spanish Minister, Washington. - Maceo's death took place in loyal light at Punta Brava and was caused by our soldiers' bullets. This Is evidently proved by the letter written by the son of Maximo Gomes, In which he states that he killed himself In order not to abandon the body of his general. The handwriting of the letter has been verified and also every de. tall of the fight, time and circumstances when Maeeo and the son of Gomes were wounded. All these details have been published In Europe bs telegrams from both Spanish and foreign correspondents. (Signed) Tetuan. The legation attached to the cable gram a note saying that the Spanish legation at Washington "hopes to dis cover the origin of the report of Ma ceo's assassination and to trace it to a certain Cuban resident In Jackson ville." The note further says that the pres ence In Jacksonville of several news paper correspondents at the time of the reported assassination of Maceo, "ex plains the wide circulation of the slan der." New York, Dec. 15.-The following petition was sinned by the members of the Board of Aldermen today! ' To the Congress of the United States. We, the undersigned citlxens of the United Slates, do most respectfully peti tion your honorable body to use your in fluence to stop the barbarities and inhu manities now practiced upon the people of Cuba by the monarchy of Spain. The civilized world stands aghast at the atrocities committed there under the guise of law, many of which were com mitted upon citlxens of this country and therefore calls for intervention on Its part, and do respectfully pray that the congress of the United States take cognisance of the fact that war is now being waged in Cuba, that the people thereof may enjoy political freedom and that the people of Cuba In their effort for success have the sympathy and best wishes of the people of the United States.

The organiza tion known as the "Friends of Cuba" today Issued the following call: To the American Public: Fellow citizens, we are Informed through the columns of the dally press that Spuin has added another to the long list of out rages committed by her. Palling In her efforts to suppress the peo ple of Cuba in their struggle for liberty by the ordinary methods employed by civilized nations In warfare, she must needs resort to treachery and bribery to accomplish by trick and stealth what her Impotent army and Incompetent gen erals failed to accomplish by arms. We call your attention to the dastardly murder of thut gallant leader of the Cu ban people, General Maceo, InvelnieJ Into ambush under the flag of truce and there, with his companions, foully murdered. That Is the latest accomplishment of Spain. Can we, as citizens of the United States, stand by and let this crime pass by unnoticed? Shall we let the ghoulish glee of the Spanish people at their own Infamy go uurt-buked, or shall we act in accord with the traditions of our coun try and extend a helping hand to the struggling Cubans. What we should do at once is to petition congress to act. Ev ery citizen should forward his earnest pro. test against such outrages as have been committed there by Spain, as well as to show congress that the people of this country are ready to uphold them in any action they may take. The American friends of Cuba appeal to you In this matter and urge every citizen to do his duty and Join with us in our pe tition to congress that these atrocities mav cease at once. (Signed) ' Frans Mayo, President. DISSATISFIED WITH WEYLER. Madrid. Dec. 15. The dissatisfaction with General Weyler's conduct of af fairs In Cuba grows apace here. The ministerial papers complain about his returning to Havana to receive an un deserved ovation instead of vigorous ly pursuing the Insurgents In the prov ince of Pinar Del Rio. Other papers resent General Weyler's alleged sup pression of telegrams recording the ovations to Major Clrujeda upon the receipt of the news that his command had defeated a largely superior force of rebels and killed their leader, Maceo. This action Is attributed to jealousy on the part of General Weyler. who. the papers claim, desires to have no one share with him the honor of suppres sing the insurrection. Credible rumors are current that the government Is not at all satisfied with General Weyler's administration of the civil and military affairs, and that if the situation in Cuba, does not shortly improve to substitute in his place Gen eral Marin, a present governor of Por to Rico. DEMONSTRATION AT JACKSON VILLE. Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 15.

CORRUPT USE OF CASH AT ELECTIONS A Resolution Tor an Inquiry is Offered by Mr. AllenThe House Enters I poa the Consideration of the Bill to Amend Postal Laws Relating to Second-Class Matter. ' Washington. Deo. 15. Senator Mor gan, of Alabama, occupied more than an hour in the senate today In pre senting arguments to show why the United States should at once Intervene to put an end to the war in Cuba. He declared that the people and the fruits of the island were made the prey of guerrillas who had become robbers, cut throats, assassins, ravlshers and pi rates; and he said that if the United States were to Intervene at all he would prefer open war and would vote for It. The sseech attracted very little at tention either on the floor or In the gal leries. At its conclusion the resolu tion offered by him yesterday requir ing the president to communicate pa pers relating to the condition of af fairs in Cuba Was agreed to. A resolution foran Inquiry into the corrupt use of money, In the late presi dential election was offered by Mr Al len, of Nebraska, and was, under the rules, referred to the committee on con tingent expenses. It provides for a committee of nine senators, with In structions to Inquire into what extent money was used In promoting the nom inations or influencing the choice of presidential electors; what contribu tions were made by the owners of silver mines and gold mines, by bankers, manufacturers, railroad and other cor porations and millionaires; and by companies and persons residing aboard.

The house today rather unexpectedly entered upon the consideration of the bill of Mr. Loud, of California, to amend the postal law relating to sec ond class moil matter, and It was the unfinished business when adjournment occurred . at 4.30 o'clock. It was not taken up without opposition, however. Messrs, Bingham, Pennsylvania, and Qulgg, . New York, pleading want of notice, endeavored to postpone action, but by declslve votes the house re jected all efforts to delay the proceed ings, and Mr. Loud opened the debate. He characterized the bill as the most important measure that would come before congress at this session one whose disposition might Involve the question of an issue of bonds by the new administration. By shutting out of malls, as the bill provided, of serial novel publications and "sample copy" newspaper the government would save from twenty to forty millions a year and make the postal service not only self-sustaining, but on the basis of present operations, a Source of profit. Most of the session was occupied In considering the senate bill to permit the purchasers of the Atlantic and Pa cific Railroad company to form a new corporation with the rights, privileges and obligations of the old one. It was amended in several particulars, and passed. Messrs. Evans, of Kentucky; Russell, of Connecticut, and McMlllIn, of Ten nessee, were appointed house conferees on the Joint resolution continuing the existence of the Joint congressional committee appointed to Investigate and report on regulations for the free use of alcohol in the arts and manufac tures.

Thomas Sharkey testified in his own behalf to day In Fitzsimmon s suit for possession of the $10,000 check. Sharkey denied having any Interest whatever in the National Athletic club or that he had advanced that organi zation $2,600 or any other sum. The sailor was positive he had never talked to Lynch or anybody else about Karp. He went into the ring with no thought but to win a fair fight. "Did you ever enter Into any agree ment with Lynch to do anything to get the fight, or had you anything to do with the selection of a referee," was asked Sharkey. "I never did. Lynch had the referee In his hands." "Did you have any agreement with Earp or any one else to get an unfair decision?" 'No sir." This closed Sharkey's direct testi mony. Sharkey was then subjected to a cross-examination. "Did you ever send Billy Madden to Fltssimmon's headquarters to ofTer Fitznlmmons 500 to let Madden referee the fight?" "I did not." "How- long did Dr. Lee work on you?" "Ho stayed until morning." "Tell what Lee did." "After he had examined me he got hot clothes and put them on me. Then he bandaged me." "Did he use Iodine?" "Not at that time." "When did he?" "Friday night. Leeches were put on Thursday." "Did he upe a hyperdermlc syringe or use a knife to make & puncture?" "He did not." Dunny Need ham, Sharkey's trainer, was the next sworn. His story In gen eral was a denial of what Smith and Allen had raid about the referee and about the suspicious circumstances In the dressing room and In Sharkey's room in the hotel. Referee Wyatt Earp was called. Ho testified that he was In the Buldwin hotel about 1 o'clock the afternoon of the fight when he was asked to ref eree the fight by Oroom, tllbbs and some one else. He did not know Lynch except to Mieak to him, and had not spoken to him half a dozen times In his life. Earp's description of the eighth round In his own lunguage wus as fol lows: "Fltzslmmons drove Sharkey to his corner and struck him a blow on the breast. Sharkey carne again and Fitz- slmmons tried to upper cut him and struck him on the groin. As he went back he upper cut him on the chin. He did not fall backwards but went down on to his knees and placed his hands on the place he was hit. Need ham came up and asked If I saw the foul, and I said: 'That's all right, 1 see It.' I walked over and gave my de cision. I decided that Mr. Sharkey had won on a foul." Karp said he would have the same decision again every night and knew the foul had been struck. There was an exciting scene when Earp was asked' If he had said what Julian testified to. Earp excitedly de nounced Julian's statements as a tissue of falsehoods and repeated this. Judge Sanderson cautioned him to answer the questions. Earp was asked if he had a revolver on him and In reply offered to be seached by a deputy sheriff. At the conclusion of Earp's examina tion the court adjourned. THE NEWS TIliS HOEMNfJ. Weather Indication Today: Shi or Sleet; Northerly Winds. 1 Spain Tries te Explain. Day with National Lawmakers.

REV. DR. DIXON ON "MONUMENTS." He Instructed and Amused a Large Audience Last Evening. Dev. Dr. Joseph K. Dixon, pastor of the Penn Avenue Baptist church, en tertained a large audience In the main auditorium of the church last evening with his celebrated lecture on the World's monuments. The lecture Is one that he has delivered many times In many states and the subject Is one that he possibly has given more atten tion to than, has any other student. To use a common, expression what he doesn't know . abont . monuments isn't worth knowing. ' v He makes his lecture instructive and entertaining in about equal .partB. At one time he is eloquent, again poetic, then pathetic and then humorous. He starts in with the monuments of ancient Greece, the toombs of Rome, the pyra mids and obelisks of Egypt, and the Masoleums of the Mogul, and points out the important part these and other inscriptions have played in transmit ting to posterity history that In many Instances would otherwise have been lost to posterity. Then he excites the admiration and wonderment by exhibit ing the sepulchres of almost prince less value that have been erected to Immortalize as far as such institutions can some vain lord of the realm, who dreaded to be forgotten with the flight of his soul. Then he arouses the patriotic fervor of the audience by showing the tnon uments erected by a loving nation to its Napoleon, Its Grant. Its Nelson or Its Washington, . a climax which brought forth the heartiest applause. Next he tires another by leading his company through the mazes of West minster Abbey and pointing out memo rials demanded for a Shakespeare, a Franklin, a Longfellow, or a Lung stone, by the Intelligent world. And Anally after soaring through these more elevated realms he becomes the clever humorist and without being, in the slightest, gruesome, deduces from the efforts of the amateur, unlearned or waggishly Inclined epitaph writer a most plentiful fund of amusement. He has probably as large a collection of ludicrous and humorous epitaphs as any man has ever gotten together and the two score or more that he read last night fairly kept his audience in one continuous roar of laughter. A. V. Bower manipulated the Btere- opticon, which -was used to illustrate the Rev. Doctor s lecture. WHERE IT CAME FROM. Some or Dunn Bros, Asphalt Sup ply ltevenlcd by a Law Suit.
