Washmgto: P. C.?The Culian deleRation
completed its labors in Washington
on Saturday. In tin* morning
the delegates mot Seevetary Itoot,
irlio escorted .horn to the White House,
where they bad a final and decisive
talk with President McKinley. Then
they paid a visit of courtesy to all the
officials whom they have met. and
Dually they started for New York City,
homeward bound.
The proceedings at the Willie House
were interesting and important. Scnor
Capote acted as spokesman for the delegation.
He thanked the President
for the mnuy courtesies shown them,
which they accepted as expressions of
good will to the Cuban people. He invited
the President to visit Cuba, to
see for himself the conditions in tipIsland.
and learn from contact with
the inhabitants of the love and affection
whl h the Cubans have for the
United States, and their appreciation
of what has been done for them by
this Coverunieut in their struggle for
freedom.
Senor Capote asked the President to
do something for the Cubans upon an
economic line, especially in the matter
of reciprocal trade relations. lie sahl
that it was especially desirable to have
something of mis kind done before the
next crop was harvested, in order that
tile t unnns might realize the advantages
to tliem of closer political ami
economic relations with the Uuited
Slates.
In reply tlio President said it was
Impossible to settle the economic questions
until the political questions were
disposed of. lie told the delegates to
first form their Government, and then
they would he in a position to enter
Into negotiations with the United
States as to trade relations.
Senor Capote responded that son.-?tliing
ought to he done while the Cuban
Government was forming. He
thought that, while the United States
was exercising control, there might tie
arrangements perfected similar to
those under < ntcniplntion by the Secretary
of War in ISPS, when the Government
first passed under control of
the United States, lie told the President
that the Cuban ltrpeMIc did not
wisli to he horn in poverty ajul rags,
and if it couid not he wealthy, ii would
at least prefer to have sonieihiiig with
which to support itself, and to have i(s
people in prosperous conditions, or
with prospi rous conditions before
tlieni.
The President again reverted 1o the
fact that under the present conditions,
as the Secretary of War had advised
tlieni, lie did not see how it was possible
to settle any economic questions
before the Cuban Government was
formed. He would appoint Commissioners
Immediately a'ler a (lovernuient
was organized to negotiate with
slmiliar Commissioners from the Cuban
Government for reciprocal trade relations,
and he believed that the United
States would he ready to deal in a
manner which would he beneficial to
both countries. lie thanked the delegation
for the Invitation to visit ttic
Island, and told tlieni to assure the
Cuban people of Ills friendly interest
In tlieni am. Ilia desire to sec tlieni
contented and prosperous.
rspnor capote in tor said to a reporter:
"We have concluded our business
bore. Wo have had two interviews
with tho President and fo\ r with tin?
Secretary of War, during wliicli all
matters that we came iiere to discuss
have bad the fullest and most minute
consideration. We came to consider
the relations In ween C uhn and the
United States and these, both political
and economical, have had the most
careful attention. We return to Cuba,
mid will deliver io the Constitutional
Convention all the information we
have obtained. Information which is
highly Important and interesting."
General Wood had an hour's talk
with the Prc.nuent before Ids departure.
lie did not care to speak for
publication or give his opinion of the
result of the visit of the Cuban Commission.
There is n general Impression among
those who have been in close touch
with the Cuban delegates Hint they
will recommend the acceptance of the
PIntt amendment by the Constitutional
Convention when they return to
Havana. Secretary I'oot lias made it
plain to them that (lie amendment Is
the United States policy.

JURY ACQUITS CALLAHAN
Says Ho Had No Part in the Kid- J
rtaping- of Young- Cudaliy.
Court Itrbiikm Ihr .Jary For It? Action?
I Chief lloiioliur* S?j? Cimc ARiiinit
Crowp In Weakened*
Omnhn, Neb.?After considering over
night the guilt or innoeeuee of James
j Callahan, the Jury announced that lie
j whs not guilty of complicity in the
kidnaping of Kdwnrd Cudnby, Jr. The
verdict was an evident surprise to the
Court, and Judge linker expressed his
disgust in emphatic terms.
Callahan was arrested, on two other
counts, which the State is not now
prepared to say will lie made use of.
as no new evidence is at hand, and the
expense of going over the ground
again is considerable.
The Jury notilied Judge Baker at 9
o'clock a. m. that it had settled upon a
verdict, and the news spread among
attorneys and interested persons, so
that an audience of tifty awaited tli *
twelve men as they tiled into the courtroom.
Call"* nn's face was n blank as ae
w .ed the verdict unfolded ami read.
A.* the words "Not guilty" were pronounced.
however, Callahan half rose
to ids feet, his lips parted in a smile,
?nd he turned tiis eyes gratcfu. .* toward
the jury.
Judge Baker studied the wording of
I lie vedirt for several minutes In silence.
as if lie doubted the evidence of
his ears. Then, addressing the jury,
he rebuked litem in must vigorous
I terms.
[ "If Callahan had made his own
. choice of a Jury," the Court said, "he
. COllId lint linvi* <.a...o...i
.... .-V . V *\ \? I ?> I-I * r illt'U
' who would have scrvil hiiu more
j faithfully. If the State for its part
j had made the select son. 1 know of no
! men It could have named who could
' have been less careful of its interests,
j The Jury Is discharged without the
| compliments of the Court, and the
1 prisoner is likewise turned loose as to |
i this trial. I presume to continue the |
I criminal practices in which you have
failed to check him. I do not know
what motive actuated you iu reaehin,;
this decision, but I hope none of you
1 will ever appear a sain iu this jury
| box."
The jury evidently was ill at ease
(luring this arraignment, but did not
make any response, and filed rapidly
from the hex as soon as It was at liberty.
In the hallway Callahan mumbled
his thanks and shook the jurymen's
hands.
Chief of Police Dnnohue says he
will urge Mr. Cndnliy to at once withdraw
the proffered reward of SoOOO for
the apprehension of Pat Crowe.
"Crowe might easily make an appearance
ami claim the reward hint- |
| self." said Chief Oonohue. "as the evl- |
deuce against him is no more direct
than that against Callahan. In my
j eighteen years of experience with
criminals 1 have never heard more absolutely
convincing evidence than that
presented against Callahan. There
was not a single flaw in tli testimony, |
! and the evidence of guilt was overwhelming.
j
"From the information I hate so- j
cured as to the sentiment of the jury. ,
I believe that its decision was based |
largely on the theory that the victim
of the affair was a wealthy man, and
i as such Is able to suffer. Two of the
j jurors. I am informed, expressed their
| opinion that no kidnaping had c'
curred. and they had taken their eatli
' as Jurors with this conviction in their
minds.
"The SfiO.OOO offered for the eon vie
tion of the three men concerned In tlie
crime, however, will stand."

The committee proceeds, in par'., ns

"The deposed Sultan is undergoing a

Nearly 200 persons were killed an 1 injured.

mass of (lames, and a northeast wind
carried the sparks to neighboring villages.
where several houses were set
on lire. Eighteen cylinders, each containing
about one hundredweight of
smokeless powder, were in the room
where the explosion occurred.
Troops were immediately ordered .o
(Jrlosliciin to prevent the tire spreading
to the large benzine reservoirs
near by. Fire brigades from every
place in the neighborhood linrried to
the scene; but, owing to the dangerous
nature of the ruins and the fear
of a renewal of the explosions, tlit?
greatest d illicit it y was experienced it

Only after live hours of strenuous
effort was the lire to some extent eon- ,
