■ nUCY OF MKTNLEY. FORAKER DEFINES THE PRESIDENT'S ATTITUDE TOWARD CUBA. Morrill tiiid CalTery Against .llorgan's Resolution—Mills nml Allen Favor It. House Pusses tlie Sumlry Clvl\ Bill. l'earl Harbor Appropriation Rejected. Washington, May 12.—The Cuban question occupied the entire attention of the senate, the debate taking a wide range and at times becoming spirited when comparisons were made between the attitude of the former administra tion and tiie present one on the subject of Cuba. Senators Morrill of Vermont and Cal'fery of Louisiana spoke in op position to the resolution, Senators Lodge of Massachusetts and Foraker of Ohio advocated deferring the ques tion until further information could be secured from the state department, and Senators Mills of Texas and Allen of Nebraska urged the immediate passage of the resolutions. Mr. Foraker made a statement in the course of a sharp exchange between himself and Senator Allen, in which the latter accused the administration of "cowardly delay." "As to the policy of the administra tion," said Mr. Foraker, "let me say that it has a policy as to Cuba, and at the proper time it will take steps to ex ecute that policy." "May I be permitted," asked Mr. Al len. "to ask what the policy of this ad ministration is as to Cuba?" "The policy of the administration," responded Mr. Foraker, "as I under stand it, is to ascertain beyond the pos sibility of doubt the exact condition of affairs in Cuba. The administration has already taken steps in that direction. It has sent an administration agent to make an investigation for the adminis tration and to report the facts to the administration as a basis of action. That report will be at hand before long. In the meantime it is proposed that the senate committee shall secure the full est information on the lines indicated, so that a report may be made which will justify every senator in the action he takes." The debate went over. Senator Kyle (Fop.) of South Dakota, rising to a question of privilege, disclaimed having sought committee places from Repub lican senators. A partial conference re port on the Indian appropriation bill was agreed to. 1 fouso Passes Sundry Civil Bill. The consideration of the senate amendments to the sundry civil appro priation bill was finished by the house and the bill sent to a conference. Pres ident Cleveland's forest reservation or der was the subject of much debate, and the house voted not to concur in the senate amendment to annul the or der, with the understanding that the conferees should arrange an amend ment which would have the same ef fect. The most Interesting debate was on the appropriation of $50,000 to improve Pearl harbor, in the Hawaiian Islands, w hie h was rejected by u vote of 85 to 53. Mr. Ilitt of Illinois, past and pro spective chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, earnestly urged the im portance of taking steps to confirm the title of this government to the har bor In view <f the senate proposal to abrogate the Hawaiian treaty. He was supported by Messrs. Cum mings of New York, Henry of Connect icut. Parker of New Jersey and Simp son of Kansas and opposed by Messrs. Cannon "f Illinois, Bayers of Texas, un burn of California and Walker of Mas sachusetts. The house decided to concur in the amendment which gives the president power to appoint the 12 mineral land commissioners, thus taking them out of the classified service, and the pro visions for four new commissioners and lour deputy marshals for Alaska and for continuing the investigation of the seal fisheries. I'ust Week's Proceeding*. Washington, May o.—The senate has by the vote of 13 to 2G refused to ratify the general arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain negotiated by Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote. The rules of the senate require a majority of two-thirds for the ratification of treaties. Hence four more affirmative votes would have been required to secure a favora ble result. The vote in detail was as follows: Yeas.—Allison, Bacon, Burrows, Oaf fery, Clay, Cullom, Davis, Deboe, Fair banks. Faulkner, Foraker, Frye, Gal linger, Gear, Gray, Hale, Hanna, Haw ley, Hoar, Lindsay, Lodge, Mcßride, Mc Lnery, McMillan, Mitchell, Morrill, Nelson, Pa co, Perkins, Piatt of Con necticut, Piatt of New York, Pritchurd, Proctor, Smith, Spooner, Thurston, Turpie, Vest, Walthall, Warren, Wel lington, Wetmore and Wilson—total, 43.

Penrose, Pettigrew, Pettus, Quay, Raw lins, Roach, Shoup, Stewart and White —total, 26. Washington, May 8. —The senate has agreed to an amendment to the sundry civil bill revoking the proclamation of President Cleveland made on Feb. 22 last > Htablishlng forest reservations ag gregating 17,000,000 acres in the far western states and territories. The de bate brought out much criticism of Mr. Cleveland's order. After the adoption of the amendment the bill was adopted without division. It carries appropria tions of $53,000,000. The Republicans of the house fol lowed up their recent indorsement of Speaker Reed's policy of postponing the appointment of committees by estab lishing the policy of biweekly meetings through the adoption of a resolution reported by the committee on rules pro viding that the house shall meet on Mondays and Thursdays until further action. Washington, May 11.—The Morgan Cuban resolution was discussed at con siderable length in the senate. Mr. Hale of Maine and Mr. White of Cali fornia spoke against the resolution, while Mr. Turpie of Indiana supported it A vote on th resolution was not reached, as Mr. Morrill of Vermont gave notice that he desired to speak upon it. The senate committees were named in accordance with the previous agreement between the Republican and Democrat ic steering committees. The house resumed the transaction of public business, which had been sus pended since the Indian appropriation bill was sent to conference three weeks ago. The consideration of the senate amendments to the sundry civil appro priation bill was entered upon under a special order providing for a recess each day until disposed of. Mr. Simpson of Kansas attempted to harass the majority with points of no quorum, but without success. The debate was mainly confined to the discussion of the senate amendment to restore the lands reserved as forest reservations under President Cleve land's order of Feb. 22 to the public do ma* n. Report From Consul General I.ee. Washington, May 12.—The state de partment is in receipt of a report from Consul General Lee, dated the latter part of April, in which he deals with the general situation in Cuba and pre sents all the facts at his command with out making any recommendations as to the policy to be pursued by this gov ernment. In this report General L e states that the insurgents are not de creasing in numbers, but that, accord ing to the most trustworthy informa tion at hand and to all appearances, I there are more of them now than when ' he went to the island. He explains the apparent want of or- 1 ganizatiun by the statement that it '•= against the Cuban policy to conduct the i war after the accepted modern ideas on j ihis point. The Cubans believe they can be most . effective by pursuing their present method. General Lee also dwells upon the condition of affairs in the island. Preparing to Try Harcmryor. Washington, May 12. —District Attor ney Davis is making preparations to try the Sugar trust witnesses, Have meyer, Searles, McCartney, Seymour, Edwards and on Monday next. He expects that the application for Broker Chapman's prudon will be re ferred to him, but that will make no difference, he says, in his intention to prosecute the men indicted with Chap man. Mr. Davis will probably call up Havemeyer and Searles for trial first. They will be arraigned before Justice Bradley in criminal court No. 2. Mr. Chapman was tried before Judge Cole by former District Attorney Birney. It is probable that the broker's application for pardon will be presented to Mr. Bir ney as well as to Mr. Davis. Neither of them is likely to favor it. ARMED STUDENTS R*IOT. Undergraduates of Grove University Re pulse Constable's Posse. Grove City. Pa., May 12.—There has been a riotous outbreak among the stu dents of Grove City college, one of the largest educational institutions in west ern Pennsylvania. As a result 15 of the ringleaders were expelled and a number >f others suspended from the college by the faculty. There is great rivalry between the Grove City baseball team and the Washington and Jefferson university's nine. Last Saturday the latter club was defeated here. The students were wild with delight and decided to cele brate the victory. Armed with tin horns, they marched through the town and aroused the residents. Finally they attacked the armory of the militia, chopping down the doors with axes and raiding the ammunition oases. Two thousand blank cartridges, about 500 pounds of powder and all the rifles in the place were distributed among them. Then, firing the guns as they went, they marched through the streets. A number of them were seriously burned with powder. Constable Leech swore in five citizens as deputies to disperse he riotous students. The students assembled at the college campus and repulsed the police, beating them over the head. The constable rallied his men and repeatedly attar-ked the students, but was each time driven back. It was suggested that the local militia be called out, but cooler counsel prevailed. The students held their position until daylight, when they went to their rooms. President Ketler called the fac ulty together early yesterday. When if was known that many of the rioters had been expelled, the greatest indig nation prevailed among the students. Another outbreak is feared. Inheritance Tax I.aw Upheld. Springfield, Ills., May 12.—The Illi nois supreme court decided the inher itance tax law, passed by the state leg islature two years ago, to be constitu tional, reversing the decision of the low- J or court. The law provides for a grad- ! uated tax on all inheritances of a value of over $4,000, and a test case was made j on the estate of the late John B. Drake, i formerly proprietor of the old Grand Pacific hotel, who left property estl- j mated at $2,000,000. The case will prob ably be carried to the federal supreme court. Fire In a Coal Breaker. Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 11.—Fire was discovered in the Spring Mountain j breaker No. 4 of the Lehigh Valley Coal company at Jeanesvllie, and 40 minutes ; after the structure was in ashes.

Washington, May 12.—The members <>f the senate are arranging an excur sion to Monticello, Jefferson's old home, to take place Friday or Saturday next.

PREPARING TO FIGHT STRONGER FOEMEN THAN GREEKS. Indications Are That the Turks Will Not Accept the Overtures of l'cuce—Greece •Signs the I'lan of Mediation and Places Her Fate In Europe's Keeping. London, May 12.—Up to the present there is no sign of revolution or of a definite antidynastic movement at Ath ens. The people appear to be relieved at the prospects of mediation and will be only too glad to see peace restored. M. Ralli, in the course of an inter view at Athens, intimated that the ac quiescence of Greece in the conditions proposed by the powers was due to the belief that they would not allow Tur key to retain an inch of Gi\ k territory. This appears to be the general opinion f European diplomats, who also con sider that Turkey should be satisfied I with a moderate indemnity, i A dispatch from Rome says: l "Ii is rf p .ted here that Russia and Austria have concluded an agreement i to maintain the status quo in the Le- I vant and to divide influence in tlie I Balkans, giving Russia a free hand in , the eastern portion and Austria in the The powers are usin. their influence to per Mf.ue Turkey to cease hostilities, , though tl> re are s- -e doubts as to I whet . t they will succeed. The Standard . .ii.i morning publishes J the following • ...Milk-ant dispatch from Constantinople: "It is repriced that orders have been sent (jut for the mobilization of the Fifth and Sixth army corps reserves, stationed at Bagdad and in Syria, and for the immediate dispatch of 50 bat talions to Konieh, from which point they will be taken to Ismeed, in Aula Minor. "These preparations, which involve i n expense that Turkey is quite unable to bear, cannot be required against Greece, and they excite anxiety as in dicating that Turkey is preparing ci ther to confront a more formidable foe or to place herself in such a strong position that she will be able to ignore the powers and their plan of media tion. "Three staff officers have been sent to the depot of tlie Fourth army corps at Erzerum and Erzingen to report there with a sufficient supply of arms and equipments to mobilize the re serves of that corps." Greece Accepts Mediation. Athens, May 12. —The note of the pow ers has been presented by M. Onou to M. Skoloudis. The following is the-text of the document: "The representatives of France, Ita- ! ly, Great Britain, Germany and Austria charge M. Onou, the representative of Russia and the doyen of the diplomatic corps, to declare in the name of their respective governments that the powers are ready to offer mediation with the view to obtain an armistice and smooth the difficulties actually existing between Greece and Turkey on condition that the Hellenic government jjpclares it will proceed to recall its trooi"? from Crete, adhere formally to autonomy for Crete and accept unreservedly the counsels which the powers give in the interests of peace." The reply of the Greek government was as follows: "The royal government, in taking the : note and declaration of the Russian rep- j resentative, acting in the name of the j ministers of the powers, declares it will j proceed to recall the royal troops from | Crete, adheres formally to autonomy j for Crete and confides the interests of Greece to the hands of the powers." So soon as the reply of Greece to the note of the powers was handed to the representatives of the powers the lat ter telegraphed the Greek decision to the representatives of the powers at Constantinople, with the request that ■ they obtain an armistice, with the view of arranging for permanent peace. There is a sense of relief in Athens at the prospect of an immediate end to the calamitous war. There is no excite ment. and no popular demonstration is anticipated. Turks Burn and Pillage Towns. London, May 12. —The Athens corre spondent of The Daily Chronicle says: "M. Ralli, the premier, lias shown me I dispatches and reports from Colonel { Manos and various civil authorities in Epirus showing that 14 villages be- I tween Toulour and Kastrosykia have j been burned by the Turks after all the • women and children had been massa cred except a few who hid in the fast nesses of Mount Zalongas, famous dur ing the war of independence, and a ftw ; more who concealed themselves in the i marshes along the shore and finally j managed to get on board the Greek j ships, half dead from hunger and fear. "Not a stone of the village of Kama : rina is left standing. The men fought like lions in defense of the women, who sought refuge in the woods and caves of Mount Zalongos, and when chased by the Turks jumped from precipices to avoid capture and dishonor." Unspeakable Brutality of Turk*. i Arta, May 12.—1t is reported that the Turks have severed the arms and legs I of all the Greeks found in a village on the plain of Louros and left the muti lated bodies by the roadside to ter- I rorize the population. The Past Week's Developments. i The Greco-Turkish war is now prac tically over, and the Greek cause ap i pears to be lost. If full credence can be i given to the dispatches that have come from the theater of hostilities and from the European capitals, the develop ments of the past week both in the field and in state and diplomatic circles, have , been disastrous to the Hellenes. The most decisive battle of the war i was fought on Wednesday in front of Prince Constantine's headquarters at Pharsala, when the Greeks were driven back by the advancing Turks under Edhem Pasha, with a vastly larger force. The Greeks were compelled to abandon Pharsala, and under cover of night retreated in good order to Domo -1 kos. Simultaneously with the battle of Pharsala. the Turks made an attack on General Smolonskl's forces at Velestino, driving this branch of the Greek army back to Almyro, and thus giving the Moslems a free road to Volo, the sea | port of Thessaly, which they at once occupied and now hold. i The evacuation of Volo by the Greeks places nearly the whole of Thessaly in , the* hands of the Turks and practically i ends the war, thus forcing the Greeks to ask the mediation of the powers. THE LEONA DISASTER. Thirteen Lives Lost by Fire oil Hoard Mai lory Liner* Now York, May 10. —The Mallory line steumer Leona. which left her pier on Saturday bound for Galveston, put back and has arrived in port with a d*ath list totaling: 13. The dead were steerage passengers on the steamer, who succumbed in a terrible struggle during a fire which occurred off the Delaware capes yesterday. Those who lost their lives were penned up below decks, and, although fran tic efforts were made by the officers of the vessel to save them, the fire had such a terrific headway before the dan ger was discovered that all escape was cut off. The steamer carried among her cargo many bales of cotton. It is not certain how the fire originated, but wh?n It was discovered it burst forth with such fury that it was impossible to reach the steerage. Even then the steerage passengers apparently were unmindful of the danger, or else the smoke and flames had not reached them. The saloon passengers were first arous ed and in such a manner as to occasion little alarm When it became apparent that the fire had cut off the steerage passengers, the captain and his men poured great quantities of water down the ventilator, and the most frantic ef forts were made for the escape of those penned up. In this way eight of the steerage passengers nrade their es cape. The following are the steerage pas sengers who perished: Bridget Sullivan, Mrs. 14. Cotrane, Mrs. C. Guzza, daugh ter of Mrs. Guzza, Miss Hannah Solo monson, sister of -J. Vlacikek, Sophie Schmalz, Marie Modro and her two chil dren. The following of the crew are dead: Alfred Hardy, waiter, 41 years old, New York; Alfred Lang, waiter, 19 years old. New York, and H. Hart inann, butcher, 27 years old, New York. The Leona is a schooner rigged, steel, screw steamer of 3,029 tons gross and 2,331 tons net register. She was built in 1889 at Chester, Pa. Her dimensions are length, 314 feet; breadth, 46.2 feet, ond depth of hold, 20.3 feet. She has three decks and six bulkheads. She was last surveyed in September, 1896. Skipimr, Mate and Sailor Lost. Vineyard Haven, Mass., May 10. —The tug Paoli, Captain Harding, has brought the news here of the collision with and the sinking of the schooner Annie E. Rudolph >f Camden, N. J., off the Nauset light, and the loss of her skip per, Captain Gardiner, Mate Snoll and a Norwegian seaman called Bob. The balance of the crew of.the Rudolph, consisting of Steward George Brown and a seaman named Johnson, were saved by the crew of the Paoli. The collision between the tug and the schooner took place about 3V& miles southeast of the three lights which sur mount the bluffs of Nauset. All that marked the scene of the tragedy were uft masts of the Rudolph just stick ing up through the waves. The Ru dolph was a Camden built boat, being launched in 1884. She was 195 tons gross and 185 net and was 116 feet long, 23 feet beam and 8 feet in depth. Divorce Granted to Mrs. Acklan. Dover, Del., May. 12.—The bill to di vorce Mrs. Laura Crocker Acklan of Cleveland, daughter of ex-Judge Crock er, the Cleveland millionaire, from Wil liam 11. Acklan of Washington, has passed the senate. There has been con siderable controversy over the case, growing out of the numerous charges of bribery and corruption.

NICARAGUAN GUNBOAT FIRES ON AN AMERICAN STEAMSHIP. Consulur Representative of the tutted States ut Puerto Cortes Said to Have lleeu Shot to Death—The Rover Was the Ship Fired Ou. New Orleans, May 12. —An insignifi cant little gunboat of one of the Cen tral American republics has put upon the American government a decided af front. A steamship fiying the Ameri can llag was fired on twice by the gun boat, and chance alone prevented the solid shot from striking her amidships. The insult to the flag occurred on the 6th inst. four miles from Puerto Cortez, and the fruit steamship Rover was the vessel fired upon. The Rover reached her dock here last night, and the story is told by Captain Reed, her command er, a gentleman who is well known here and whose veracity is unquestioned. Several days ago news was received here of the conversion into a gunboat of the steam tug Lucy 8., owned by the Nicaraguafn government. Two cannon constituted her equipment, and the ves sel was manned by 50 banana cutters, whom chance and the will of the Nica raguan government had suddenly trans formed into men-of-warsmen. The Rover left this city on April 28 and readied Puerto Cortez on the morn ing of the 6th inst. Knowing that the port was in a state of war, Captain Reed decided not to anchor, and re mained under steering headway off shore till he could he hoarded by the customs officers. He saw that the town was in a state of ferment—that is, in habitants were running here and there — and that trouble of some kind was tak ing place. Knowing that the government forces were still in possession of Omoa, seven miles off, he determined to quit Puerto Cortez and go to that safer point. The Rover had been headed for Omoa. and had traveled about four miles of the distance, when Captain Rood noticed, the Lucy 14. making for his vessel, with the evident intention of heading her off. He instructed his engineer to stand by to stop the Rover's engines at the first signal and awaited developments, in tending to lay by the Lucy B. and get from her officers an idea of the trouble at Puerto Cortez. Rover Fired on Twice. Suddenly, when the Lucy B. was over half a mile from the Rover, she was seen to fire a solid shot across the Rov er's how. At once the signal to stop the engines was received, hut before the or der could he executed another puff of smoke from the Lucy B. told of the fir ing of the which was aim ed a little better, the shot ricocheting along the water and striking finally about 50 feet from the Rover, which by this time had come to a dead stop. The American vessel was ordered to drop her anchor and soon after was boarded by General J. P. Reyes, rep resenting the Nicaraguan government, and six of his followers. He demanded to see the ship's papers, and. though Captain Reed was mad enough, he de cided to keep his temper. The papers were exhibited, and then the Nicara guan began to make a search of the vessel on the alleged ground that she was carrying contraband of war. Find ing nothing, Reyes permitted the Rov er to proceed. Captain Reed says that he protested vigorously against his ship being fired on and pointed to the Amer ican llag, which was fiying from his masthead. General Reyes replied that "he ought to consider himself lucky that he (Reyes) did not sink the Rov er" and added that Reed could protest as much as he pleased, as it made no difference to him. At Omoa Captain Reed found several hundred troops preparing to advance on Puerto Cortez. He heard firing at the latter port and ventured within three miles of the harbor and by the aid of marine glasses saw that a pitched battle was in progress. He saw the Lucy B. in an apparently disabled condition, U* pilothouse and upper works having 1 • shot away. On he; way to this city the Rover met thiee sloops and a schooner, all of Which were loaded with men and nailing for Spanish Honduras, evidently bent on aiding in the revolution. At Omoa it was reported that American Consul Al ger had* been killed at Puerto Cortez. hut no verification or particulars could he learned. Murderer Surrounded. Milwaukee, May 12.—Richard Ashy, a farmot* of the town of Franksville, Racine county, reached Racine and re ported that Puch. the triple murderer, was at hay near Franksville, surround ed by a cordon of citizens. The sheriff and deputies have gone to the scene. Antlclgurette llill Vetoed.
