Battle Royal Coming
Over the Cuban Resolutions
in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Seoator
Hale has received a letter from Senator
Hoar, who is absent from the* city, an
counciog bis opposition to the Caben
resolutions, and asking Senator Hale to
pair him io a*y way that will "defeat,
delay, or'bring-to confusion" the reso?
lutions reported from the committee on
foreign relations.
Senator Hale, who is expected to
lead the opposition to the Caban r?solu?
tions ia the Senate, is preparing for the
conflict which he expects to be precipi?
tated after the holiday recess, it is
the general understanding that the
question wii| b> one of tbe first to be
raised after the re-oonveniog of Con
gress, and it is coming to be understood
thai it wili be a battle royal. '*The
advocates of tbe resolution," said the
Maine Senator to-day, "were inclined
to claim a two-thirds majority. I
doubt whether they feel so sanguine
DOW, and I am sure they would not ?f
they knew how rapidly tbe conserva?
tive sentiment is growiog.
.'I was sorry to see,'* the Senator
continued, "that I had been quoted as
saying io a boastful manner that we
should he able to defeat the resolution
on a vote. I would not want to claim
that result at the present time, bot [
hope for it in the end. Indeed, I am
receiving assurances from influential
Senators every day of sympathy with
the movement io opposition to the reso?
lution, and I believe the sentiment in
the country is rapidly veering that way.
Of course there are meetings and reso?
lutions^ the other side, but coe can
gather men together in advocacy of any
cause and get signatures to almost any
kind of petition. My contention is
that the business men and thinking men
of the county are opposed to any step
which is liable to plunge the country
into war. In my own State, for in?
stance, there is enly one prominent
newspaper which advocates the course
advised by the Senate eommittee on
foreign relations.
"We have just gone through a cam?
paign in which we have promised peace
to the country. Is it consistent to pre
sent the inco ning administration with
a war on the threshold of its existe c ce ;
True, there is an undesirable condition
of affairs in Cuba, ' but I believe
the reparts are exaggerated At any
rate, it is true that, however cruel the
conduct of the Spaniards, it finds irs
counterpart in the behaviour of the Cu?
bans It is their wry of fighting ; they
are different from us From whatever
standpoint the question is argued,
herc no excuse in reason or precedent
or the United States to interfere in this
insurrection. I believe that the Senate
is.ranidly coming to realize this, and
am therefore confident of success io the
end "
/ "It has been intimated," suggested
ihe Associated Press reporter with
whom Senator Raie had been talking,
"that you will filibuster to defeat the
. Cameoo resolution in the Senate ?,?
"No truth whatever in that," he re?
sponded, "it will not be oecessary
that we should do su. The question
raised by the committee is one of vast
magnitude, and it will excite much de?
bate The question of tie respective
prerogative of the executive and legis?
lative branches of the government
which Mr. Oioey's letter has raised, is
calculated in itself to set tbe lawyers
talking at one another, and there is no
telling how much time may be consum?
ed on this poiat. Hence I say that
pren if the opponents of the resolution
desired dely-which they do not-they
would not have to resort to extraeeou?
methods to secure it. It is, above all,
foreign to our intentions to attempt, tc
use the appropriation bill to accomplish
the postponement of the Cuban question
TA e are williog that this subject should
be brought up promptly, aud are con?
tent to use only legitimate weapons ic
our warfare against it.''

Pacific Railroads' Tangie.
Commissioner Wade Hamp?
ton has a Plan of Set?
tlement.
Froro th? Washington Times, December 17.
The report of Ger?. Wade Hamp
to?, commissioner of railroads, was
issued from tue Government printing
office to day :
It states that operations of all rail?
roads together-icr last year show an
increase of the volume of freight,
but owing to low rates the gain in
net earnings was small. The bond
aided lines, in spile of smaller gross
earnings, show an improvement, due
to reduction in operating expenses
A complete review of the condition
cf the last named roads is given, and
their relations to the United States
The controversy between the treas
ury department and the Central Pa?
cific, over the amounts credited to
the company for transportation and
of the 5 per cent, of net earnings, is
given briefly, also the action of Con?
gress at the last session in attempt?
ing to effect a settlement with the
companies "
The general portion of the report
closes with the commissioner's recom?
mendations
The controversy between the treas?
ury and the Central Pacific was re
ferred to the Attorney General, who
gave an opinion, but the matter is
not yet fuiiy adjusted.
The total indebtedness of the sev?
eral bond aided companies to the
United States on June 30, 1896, was
as follows :
Union Pacific, including Kansas
Pacific, principal of bonds issued $33.
539,512, on which interest has ac?
crued to the amount of ?57,071,757.
46. On this there should be
credited $38,611,073 53 applied to
the bond and interest and sinking
fund accounts, leaving the balance of
debt on the above date $52,000,198.
93.
Central Pacific, including Western
Pacific, principal of bonds issued
?27 855 680 ; interest accrued ?46,
593,478.98 ; credits ?16,167,149.56 ;
balance of debt $58,282,009.42
Soux City and Pacific, principal of
bonds ?1,628 320 ; interest accrued
$2,734,387 09 ; credits on account of
transportation $246,659.49 ; balance
of debt ?4,116,047.60
Central Branch, Union Pacific,
principal of bonds issued $1,600,000 ;
accrued interest ?2,778,608 26 ; cred?
its ?642,884 88 ; balance of debt
$3,735,723.38.
This makes a total for ali the roads
of $118,133,973 33.
Against this debt there is held in
the sinking fund under the Thurman
Act, mostly in bonds of the corn
panics which have a prior Hen upon
the road, a total of $19,624 250
There are due at?d unpaid $3 432,
000 in i he Union Pacific and $643,
. 000 in the Centtal Pacific fu^d.
After telling fully of the recent ef
forts to secure the Government money
now held by the companies, Gen
Hampton says the bills will probably
be reached early this session. As
the debt to the Government is rapid?
ly increasing, a settlement should be
reached soon Ile continues :
"I adhere to the opinion expressed
by me in my first report, and renewed
in subsequent ones, that the best and
most practical way to reach a settle
"ment with the companies is through
a commission, to be appointed by the
President The vain efforts of Con?
gress for years to arrive at an adjust
ment would seem to justify the be?
lief that it is useless for so large a
body to continue to attempt to settle
the matter.
"Members are always pressed in
the discharge of the duties of their
respective committees, and but a
very small proportion of them have
ever found time to devote to a con?
sideration of the problem involved
in the determination of the best
methods for the Government to pur?
sue. The question is'of vast magul
tude and great importance, and in?
volves so many interests and techni
cal details that it is almost impossible
to place its every aspect before Con?
gress in such a manner that intel?
ligent action could be taken thereon.
The commission to be appointed
should be vested with full and ab
solute power to settle the question by
atty method which seems to there
best, their action to be subject to tlu.
approval of the President. They
should b i empowered to compel thc
attendance and take the testimony o:
witnesses, to administer oaths and U
call for all papers and document?
needed in the course of their nego
tations."

Cle\eiand this afternoon formally

the new government-Mr. J. D. Rod?

ney presented the Central Americans,
who were attired in full evening
dress Minister Rodriguez was for a
t'me in Washington 10 years ago as
agent for Nicaragua in a boundary
dispute with Costa Rica, which the
President decided as arbitrator.
The envoy in a brief address, pre
Rented his credent1! .ls, to which the
President replied as follows :
Mr. Minister : I take pleasure in
recognizing in the name of the
United State? of America, the Great?
er Republic of Central America and
in entering into diplomatic relations
therewith. Such recognition is
given and such relations entered
upon in the distinct understanding1
that the responsibility of each of
their republics to the United States
of America remains wholly unaffect?
ed.
I discern in the articles of associa?
tion from which the diet derives its
powers a step towards a closer union
of Central American States ir. the in?
terest of their common defense and
general walfare, and I welcome it as
the precursor of other steps to be
takeii iu Nhe same direction, and
which it is hoped may eventually
result in the consoiidation of all the
Stales of Central America as one
nation for all the purposes of their
foreign relations and intercourses.
To you I extend a cordial greeting,
both personal and official, and I trust
that your renewed residence at the
capital of this country will be as
agreeable in its personal relations as
I believe it will be useful and pro?
fitable for the countries you repres?
ent, between each of which and the
United States has always existed and
it is hoped will always exist, the
closest ties of friendship.
The Piesident expressed hope that
the new republic would soon include

NEW YORK. Dec. 25 -A special to
thc World from Key West, Fia., says:
The lone star fing of Cuba has met
the red and yellow banoer of Castile
upou the seas. The shrapnel, shell and
rifle volleys of a brave filibuster have
made an answer to the roar of Spanish
twelve pounders and have pained for
Cuba Libre the first victory on the
ocean.
The filibustering: steamer Three
? Friends sailed from Fernandina Sunday
night, Dec. 13, carrying a valuable
cargo of munitions of war for the Cuban
insurgents. Eluding the vigilance of
Uoited States warships and revenue
cutters and dodging every sail upon the
ocean, the little steamer, with about
fifty men, was within hailing distance
cf Cuba on the sixth night cue.
Surprised, trapped and fired upon,
she threw shot into a Spanish naval
coaster, frightened off a big gunboat,
and escaped from a swift cruiser steer?
ing out to sea.
The Three Friends put in again to
the coast and safely landed ber cargo on
the birder of the great Zapata swamp
Not before in Cuba's struggle for
liberty has the flag cf Spain been fired
upon at ssa. No other filibuster after
having been attacked by the enemy has
j stood by her guns and fulfilled har per?
ilous mission.
Eirly on the morning of Friday, the
18ih, Cape San Antonio, at the West
xrn extremity cf Cuba, was rounded.
A stiff breeze was blowing off thc land
and the ship beaded southward
it was known that the battleship
Rema Mercedes, the cruiser Alfonso
XIII and the coaster Dosede Mairo were
patrolling the Pinar del Rio South
coast.
Thc sealed orders from the New York
Junta were opened an hour after the
Cape had been passed. They gave no
directions as to the course the vessel
should take, its destination alone heiog
mentioned. The orders of the Junta
read: '-Sail to the mouth of the San
Juan River and there await a party of
insurgents who will take charge of the
cargo. Do not attempt to land meQ or
monitions at any other point.
The orders caused a surprise. A
consultation was held immediateiv in
the cabin, attended by Captain John
O'Brien, navigation captain Lewis,
Major Perez Morales, commander cf
tho last expedition, and Cutcol Calvo, a
sea commander of the same. Major
Arnas was also called in.
Nearly every officer aboard had warn
~A 'ho Junta that he would not attempt
to an expedition near the San
Juan River. The steamer Bermuda
had tried to and had been fired upon
and driven away by a Spanish coaster,
while the cargo cf the Dauntless, after
having been put ashore, was captured.
But what was there to be done ? The
steamer had stolen away from the
Uoited States and had already cov?
ered three-quarters cf the distance to
her destination. Boxes cf arms, cart?
ridges and dynamite stored in the hold
were carried cn deck and. pui in con?
venient positions for landing. Each
man who was to land with the party
had his personal effects bundled togeth
er and ready to oe cast into the first
boat.
The Three Friends was hour? io mak?
ing her way to tho proper place to ef?
fect a landiog When all was in read?
iness the coast seemed entirely clear.
On the lower deck amidships, thc first
boat's crew, armed with macheta and
revolvers, stood ready to arm the large
surf boat, which already swung over
the side. The crew consisted of Lieu?
tenants Carboona and Guiteras, Sharp?
shooter John Gorman and Privates
Aurelio, Arcane and Edgaro. Major
Perez Morales and Dr. Bonjardin, who
were also to go ashore io the first boat,
stood ak the gangway.
Behind the first boat's party stood a
dozen men armod with machets and
Remingtons in line along the rail to re
pel boarders None others aboard were
armed except with revolvers they car?
ried in their belts, as the rifles and
machets had been returned to their box?
es for.transfer ashore.
On the prow, night glasses in hand,
stood Capt. Lewis. Maj Arnas and En?
gineer Pagluchi. The remainder of the
expedition gathered aiong (he rails on
tho port side as the vessel steamed al?
most in tho shadow of the rocky cliffs.
Dead ahead from thc water linc for
three or four hundred feet ali was dark.
Behind the mountain was a clear sky.
When thc filibuster was within 400
yards of shore and tho first boat was
about to bc lowered the engineer dis?
covered a moving object in tho dark
ness under thc lee over tlie port bow.
He trainsd his glass carefully and im?
mediately informed Capt. Lewis that he
saw a coaster. Without delay word was
passed to Capt O'Brien at the wheel,
and Chief Engineer Dunn. Without
further ado the filibuster turned swiftly
to starboard aod pointed for the opeo
sea. The stern of the filibuster was
crowded with anxious men.
For a few minutes an exciting race
continued, r.i-d thea came n. flash of
light from tris Spaniard. A second
iarer r.-itue the crack of a twe-peunder,
and then there w;:s t:;C hiss O? a shell
?? few reds to the stat be ard. Word ua<
pa.'*(.d on the filibuster that all most
G^hr. A few men broke open thc rifl:1
and cartridge oozes, and soon the en
tire party mere armed. Sharpshooter
German gathered bi? riflemen along the
stern rai! upon the upper deck. Maj
Morales was in charge.
Again came a flash from the coaster
and another solid shot splashed into thc
water on the starboard side several rods
nearer the vessel, Pursued and pur
surer were each under full steam and
smoke was pouring from their funnels.
They were now about 800 yards apart
Then the Spaniard fired for the third
time, the'sbot falling a few rods astern
of the Three Friends, but io a direct
line. "Use tl e Hotchkiss," command?
ed Major Morales.
GuuDer Michael Walsh, who with his
crew had stood bv the twelve-pou?der
io the how, heard the command with
joy and called out to Captain O'Brien
to swing the ship around In a minute
the filibuster was almost broadside to
the coaster.
The coaster boomed for the fourth
time, but the smoke bad not cleared
away before the Hotchkiss on the fili?
buster's prow bellowed forth and sent
a shrapnel sheil between the short
masts of the coaster, squarely over the
engines. The shell did not burst, but
the Spaniards seemed paralyzed with
fear. It was the first lime io the Cu?
ban war that a filibuster bas returned
shot for shot
A cheer burst from everybody on
board the Three Friends. The Span?
iard had fired four times, but without
effect. Several men cn the lower deck
opened fire with their rifles, and this
was followed by a rattling volley from
the line of men on the upper deck
The shrapnel shot fired from the Hotch?
kiss ended the fight, as the Spaniard
sailed away, firing rockets calling for
assistance. The call for assistance was
promptly answered, for while the fili?
buster was swinging into position to
allow the Hotchkiss to play upon tbe
enemy, a gunboat, double tb-; size of
the coaster, appeared oo the port bow.
She opened wi'h heavy guns, but did
not have the range. Gunner Walsh
rammed another shrapnel into the gun
ou the prow, sighted it for the comer
and yanked the lanyard. There came
a report that shook the sea and the
hills and re echoed in the distance. The
sheil flew straight fer the guoboat and
burst directly over her. it was an?
swered by a still heavier thunder from
the gunboat, returning a fire of theil
with shell.
The shot from the Spaniard disabled
two of the landing boats of thc filibus?
ter, but did co ether damage. The
Hotchkiss was again loaded with shrap?
nel, and the nest discharge, aimed
with splendid skiil by the amateur gun?
ners on the Three Friends, s:ruck tb?
cruiser amidships Then the Three
Friends put cc Kteam. leaving the war?
ship possibly disabled, hui at all events
silent and defeated, cut of sight behind
a point of land.
As the cargo of the Three Friends
was beiog landed the Spanish coast
patrol came up, and a fierce fight en?
sued between them and the Cubans
sent by Gen. Gomez to escort the cargo
into his camp. After two hours of
fighting the Spaniards were driven off.
and the cargo was landed and safely
carried into the interior.
The vessel then lay to for several
days is a secluded cove, and started for
Florida last Monday She was pursued
by several gunboats as she entered the
Windward Passage, aod a ball from
one of them tore a hole in her bul?
warks. A barre! of oil on rho furnancc
fires soon ran up the steam acd the fast
craft crept away.
Emerging from the Keys two
cruisers were found awaiting for her,
and another race ensued. The Spanish
vessels fired on her for half an hour.
Capt. Lewis then ran io among the
Keys and escaped from the Spanish
war vessel?, reaching American waters
near Miami, Fla.

TENNESSEE'S CENTEN

? Cleveland Signs the Bill and
Gives Away the Pen.
I _
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Senator
Bate-and Representatives McMillan
and Washington of Tennessee were
at the White House at 10 o'clock
this morning to secure early Presi?
dential action on the Nashviiie cen?
tennial exposition bill which was sent
to Mr. Cleveland yesterday. The
President asked a few questions to
satisfy himself that the provisions of
the bill had been faliy complied with,
and upon being answered in the
affirmative he signed the measure
without further delay.
The purpose of the exposition is to
commemorate the one hundredth an
I niversary of the admission of Ten?
nessee as a fctate. It will open on
the 1st of May, 1S97, and continue
uninterruptedly until the following
November

ton's request, giving io him by the
President, the latter remarking as he
did so, that it "was such a con
foundly bad ene he was glad to get
rid of it "
Mr. Washington thereupon drew
from his pocket a handsome fountain
penholder, which he offered to give
the President in exchange, but Mr.
Cleveland declined it, preferring to
use the more democratic wooden
holders, which retail for a cent
apiece. The pen with which the
1 bill was signed, as wei! as the holder,
! will be presented by Mr. Washington
