HAVANA , Cuba , March 9. ( Now York
World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Gin-
cral Veyler gave to mo today ten minutes
of the olxtccn hours ho habitually devotes to
work dally In order to describe the military
pltuatloa In Cuba.
The general , ls a remarkably good person
to Interview. Ho speaks rapidly , always lethe
the point , without a superfluous word. In
directness of utterance and Intelligence of ex-
prcsulon of Ideas the governor-general IE
fully equal to the moot distinguished Individ
uals I have Interviewed In the United States
and Europe. He has the same clear cut
method of t'peech ; is ox-President Harrison
and 1'rlnco Bismarck.
General Weylcr expressed hlmyolt as
pleased with tbo Interview with him pub
lished In the World last Wednesday and re
ferred to the cabled reports ot the mesngo of
Infanta Eulallo to the World , and to that
from Premier Canovaa , which Is quoted In
today's Havana newspapers. 1 requested Gen
eral Weyler to explain to the World the mil
itary situation , especially as regards the
provinces of Plnar del Rio and Havana.
"Tho Insurgents no longer exist In force
In the provinces of Havana and Plnar del
Rio , " General Woylcr said. "They have
been crowded eastward , and ! ore beyond
tl.o Matanzas border. There are rebels In
those provinces , but they are In groups ot
five , ten or twelve. The stopping of work
on the plantations left the laborers with
out the means of subsistence. They 'go
out * to procure food.
"Tho general condition of the people Is
tiad , oa a result of the destruction of prop
erty by Gomez and Maceo. The people of
the United States have no comprehension
of the great extent of the destruction by
fire ot property of noncombatants In the
formerly prosperous provinces of Havana
and Plnar del Rio. I Issued an order Sat
urday providing for the restoration of
order In those provinces , and I anticipate
no more serious trouble In them.
WHEREABOUTS OF THE REBELS.
"Gomez Is near the central part of the
province of Santa Clara. The latest In
telligence placed him near Jlcotea , on the
railway , half way between San Domingo
and Santa Clara. Jicotca Is about 145 miles
from Havana. Gomez Is being prcosed
hard by General Pando's column.
"Macco was last reported in the southern
part of Matanzas province , south of Jovcl-
lanes , between Cuevltas and Claudia. He
has been turned from the line of march cast-
ward by my columns , and apparently la mov
ing as rapidly as possible to the great Swamp
ot the Shoo for shelter.
"Lacret's band Is separated from that of t
Maceo. It was last reported at a point two
leagues or so north of Jaguey Grande. The
combined forces of Macco and L.icret had
two encounters yesterday with my columns.
There were more than 8,000 rebels altogether.
"Oulntln Handera Is In the Clenfucgos
district , between Rodas and Yaguarlsnas.
"This completes the list of large bands
ot rebels In Cuba.
"Gomez will endeavor to flnd rest in the
wild district of country east of Santo EG-
plrltu , and In the southern part of Puerto
Principe province. Mncco will strive to
reach the wilderness In Santiago province.
"I expect to bo able to report In a short
time that Matanzns province is free from ;
any considerable rebel bands. Tharo Is none
now within eighty miles of Havana.
"At no previous period have the Insurgents
been pressed as now. The present campaign
baa lasted only a little over three weeks.
At the same rate of progress the Insurgents
will be driven east of Santa Esplrltu In
three weeks more. "
General Weyler , remarking that I could
best obtain an understanding of the military
operations by Inspecting the staff map , di
rected me Into an adjoining room , where his
chief of staff. Lieutenant General Ochando ,
nnd several Junior members were at work.
General Oclmndo , the youngest man of all ,
IB of medium height , has delicate , refined
features and looks the typical staff ofllcei
nccuHomcd to brain work , although ho won
his rank by military service. A long table
etood In the center of the room , on which
lay a complete map of Cuba , perhaps twelve
feet long. Every town and village Is marked
on a white background.
HEMMED IN BY PINS.
General Ochando explained the method of
locating the Spanish troops and the rebels.
Steel pins , two Inches long , with round ,
black headu , such as ara used by women to
fasten bonnets and veils , were pricked Into
various paints. Small pieces of red paper ,
like miniature flags , were attached to many
pln . Each ono represented a Spanish
column , with Its name , route and the com
mander's name written on It. A blue flag
on a pin repreicntlng Maceo's force , a white
flag , Lacret's. ' Seven Spanish columns , ac
cording to the flags , were about Lacret.
Macco hud no flag between him and the great
uwampa In Santa Clara province. The flag
representing Gomez and his force stood
pricked In the map near Jicotca. About It
htoiiil pricked * In thu map ton red flags , rep
resenting as many Spanish columns. Gomez
is surrounded completely , according to the
disposition of the troops today.
General Ochando courteously explained the
method employed to keep track of the army.
He 1st Immediately directing the movement
in Matanzas , He Informed mo that General
I'ando Is commanding the troops about
Gomez. Movements of troopa to Puerto
Principe will begin now , he said , According
ige
to the Inclination I obtained at the palace
today , the government expects lo drive all
the largo bauds of rcbclu Into the mountain
ous , heavily Umbered country east of Santo
Esplrltn , before the rainy neasx > n , which , of
necessity will end the campaign ,
I have nbtiilned much rc-llable Information
from Pliiur del Rtn and Havana provinces ,
which mines from neutral sources , s.Hi
agrees with the foimal statement of the
government general. Five or ten mounted
men can ridenbout , burn and destroy just
cis the bandits used to rob and escape be
fore the prcKcnt rcbc-lllon began , There are
ouch email bandy which the government
propones to try to control by civil guards , asa
announced In General Woylor'H proclama
tion yesU'rduy.

BILBAO , Spain , March 9. There was an
other anti-American riot hero today and It was
of greater Importance than the previous so-
called patriotic disturbances , caused l > y the
action of the congress of the United States
In regard to Cuba. About 12,000 people took
part this afternoon In the popular demon
stration. The excitement was stnrtod by a
group of young men at a street corner , who
began cheering every soldier who passed
by. Their conduct was soon Imitated by
other groups of people , until every soldier
seen was cheered by the crowds , and some
musicians who refused to repeat the national
nntlicm were hustled , beaten and otherwise
maltreated.
The excitement Increased and many groups
formed In the main streets , cheering for
Spain and denouncing the United States. The
authorities did everything possible to main
tain order. Almost the entire pollco force
was turned out as ooon as the populace as
sumed a threatening aspect and the rioters
\vero dlE-porecd again and again.
Eventually , however , the mob became so
numerous and excited that the pollco wcro
almost helpless. After the flrst demonstra
tion of sympathy with the army , the crowds
had armed themselves with sticks and cud
gels and their numbcra were so great that
the pollco were swept aside and nn Immense
crowd gathered on the leading thoroughfare
and marched toward the residence of the
American consul , shouting , "Long live Spain , "
"Down with the Yankees. "
On their way to the consul's residence
they hurled stones through the windows of
stores and private residences , overturned n
number of vehicles , pulled several mounted
policemen from their horses and generally
behaved In the most threatening manner.
Stores dealing In American goods received
the most attention from the mob and the
windows of the consul's house were badly
shattered , although the pollco defended the
building.
STARTED FOR THE CONSULATE.
The mob then proceeded In the direction
of the United consulate , evidently In
tending to stone that building as well. But
the authorities had taken the precaution
to send a strong force of pollco to guard
that building and another detachment of
pollco was stationed acroas the streets leadIng -
Ing to the consulate. Therefore , when the
mob neared the United States consulate. It
was confronted by the police with drawn
swords. The mob halted and then began
pelting the police most vigorously with stones
and pieces of brick. The policemen , however ,
held their ground and a squad of the officers
charged the rioters. The latter began by
firing pistols at the policemen , two of whom
were wounded. This caused the police to
charge In a body , and , using their swords
with good effect , the rioters were dispersed ,
yelling and hooting at the authorities and
shouting "Down with the Yankees" and
"Long live Spain. "
The police , who made a number of arrests ,
experienced considerable difficulty In escort
ing their prisoners to the depot. During the
whole afternoon there was more or less dis
turbance. It was decided to keep both tle )
police proper and the gendarmes confined
to the barracks until further orders , oa there
seems to be danger of another outbreak.
The United States consulate Is now guarded
by a strong detachment of gendarmes , armed
with carblnefc , revolvers and swords , and they
have Instructions to protect the consulate at
any cost.
REPORTS FROM MADRID.
MADRID , March 9. The turbulent element
In the city of.Bilbao . which created dis
turbances yesterday , continued to defy the
authorities today and made violent demon
stration In spite of the armed threat of the
gens d'armes. Disorders were renewed near
the American consulate and a determined
effort was made to reach the building where
the consulate Is located. The gens d'armes
showed equal determination to frustrate this
attempt and succeeded. But this was not
done without a serious collision between
the mob and the gens d'armes , In which
twenty of the former are known to have
been Injured , though It Is not slated any
fatalities resulted. Nine of the gens d'armes
wcro also Injured. With this rebuff the
mob drew off. But the Inhabitants of Bil
bao are still in a turbulent mood and the
police authorities find it necessary to make
every precaution to guard against Injury
being done to the United States consulate.
Elsewhere In Spain the situation bears a
more tranquil aspect and the question of
the 'action of the United States on Cuba
Is regarded In a calmer mood.
A report found currency today that the
United States minister , Mr. Taylor , had left
Madrid , but this proved to ba wholly with
out foundation.
A dispatch from Havana says the Insur
gents are In a demoralized condition and
seeking flight toward the eastward portion

WASHINGTON , March 9. ( Special Tele-
gram. ) Representative Strode of the First
district Is not at all clear In his mind
whether It would be well to divide the federal
district ot Nebraska as to the keeping of
records , as proposed by his bill , or to wait
until the question ot two federal districts
comes up for consideration In the next
session ot congress. In order that ho may
know the feeling of the attorneys In the
South Platte county , ho has requested ex
pressions of opinion by way ef petitions
and In event the bar Is favorable , he will
press a division of records , those affecting
the South Plattc Interests , to bo kept In Lin
coln. Slnco the Introduction ot this bill
Hastings people have protested against Its
passage upon the theory that It might pre
judice their Interests when the state conies
:
to bo divided , and as Congressman Andrews
stated today : "Without knowing more about
the bill , I would bo compelled to vote against
It , " which remark was concurred In by Dave
Mercer , who Is looking out for nil that
concerns the Second. There Is a decided
feeling In congressional circles that there
should bo two federal districts In Nebraska ,
but whether the line should run cast and
west or north and south Is ono of those
questions which nobody there can agree upon.
There arc those who believe the ) line should
follow the meandering of the Plattc river ,
In which case Lincoln would bo designated
as the location of one district and Omaha
the other , but there Is no hope of such u
bill until the next session , when an effort will
ba undoubtedly made to divide the state.
EXPOSITION BEING EXPLOITED.
It was a day of resolutions nnd petitions
calling upon congress to pass the bill appro
priating a certain sum of money for the
TransmlsslsslprI and International exposition
In Omaha. Every member of the Nebraska
delegation presented the resolutions of the
city council of Omaha , adopted March 3 , as
to recognizing the holding ot such an exposi
tion. Senator Thurston presented resolu
tions of the Northwestern Nebraska Press
association , held at Randolph , Neb. , and also
the Omaha city council resolutions. In fact ,
both housea had a quota of favorable resolu
tions upon the exposition In ' 98. This Is
thought to be only the beginning of the flood
of petitions from the country vitally Inter
ested In the holding of this exposition.
Petitions from cities , towns and counties
are pouring In from Nebraska , favoring the
Christian amendment to the preamble to the
constitution , "God In the constitution , " as It
Is called. Senator Thurston presenting today
the petitions of Rev. L. Proudflt of the United
Presbyterian church , nnd fifty-one other res
idents of Dunbar , the petition of fifty-six
residents of Mount Clare , the petition of
ninety-seven residents of Nelson , Nuckolls
county , and one from citizens of Adams
county. While these citizens are for the
recognition of a supreme being In the const ! ,
tutlon , just as religious a body , the Congre
gational club of Crete , Neb. , Is for recogniz
ing the belligerents rights of the , Cubans ,
such a resolution .having been introduced to
day by Mr. Thurston , and what is more re
markable , the resolutions are signed by a
woman , who undoubtedly sniffs battle from
afar. Mr. Thurston also Introduced a bill
for the relief of Cella A. Jeffers of Bassett ,
Neb.
Neb.Senator
Senator Allen presented petitions of resi
dents of Thayer county , citizens of Stroms-
burg , nnd citizens ot Ewlng , Neb. , favorIng -
Ing the Christian amendment to the con
stitution ; also of the htudents and faculty
of Doano college calling for recognition of
the belligerent rights of the Cubans. He
presented a letter from the mayor and
council of South Sioux City , Neb. . thankIng -
Ing him for his Interest shown In the mat
ter of the protection of the town from the
Missouri's encroachment.
Senator Allen , from the committee on
Indian affairs , submitted a favorable report
authorizing the secretary of the interior to
pay out of the unexpended baianco claims
against the Genoa Indian school Itwurred
during the superintendence of Horace R.
Chase to the amount of $8,000. This per
tion of the Indian appropriations bill was
stricken out in the house. Mr. Allen also
submitted a report on the amendment as to
support and civilization of the Ponca Indians ,
Including the pay of employca , $30,000 , rec
ommending Its passage. He Introduced a
bill restoring the Santee Sioux of Nebraska
and Flandreau Sioux of South Dakota to
all rights , privileges and benefits enjoyed
by them and their ancestors under the
treaties of 1837 and 1851.

WOULD AMEND CAREY'S LAW.
L. S. Hewlett , commissioner of arid lands
for the state of Washington , appeared before
the IIOUEO commltteo on public lands today
and argued In favor of an amendment to the
Carey desert land law. Under this law any
state having arid land within its bordeni
can take up 1,000,000 acres of such fcttd
In small parcels and under restrictions. But t
one state , Wyoming , has thus far applied 1
for land. An amendment Is proposed , how
ever , to give each of the arid land states
1,000,000 acres of land outright , with but one
restilctlon , and that IH that the proceeds of
the sales of these lands be held as a trust
fund for the reclamation cf the land until
all Is reclaimed. The legislature of each
ftato la to dispose ot the land as It sees fit ,
and after It Is all reclaimed , the surplus
money realized from the sale Is to go to
the state absolutely. All western states , In
cluding Colorado , Wyoming and South Da
kota will bo filed to take up desert land
under this act.
Secretary Smith today rendered decisions

UiileUly Solved.
CHICAGO , March 9. Late this afternoon ,
Mrs. Cummlngs of 313 Fourteenth street ,
Identified the dead body of the man found
In a barrel yesterday with the corpse of an
Intent , as that of her husband. Ho had been
an Inmate of tha poor house for two years.
The pollco have abandoned the theory of
murder , It being known that the mutilating
was done by medical students. After Cum
mlngs died In tbo poor house the death
was advertised In the usual manner , but
he had gene to the Institution unded nn
assumed name and the body was not
claimed. It was then , according to custom ,
sent to a hospital the Herlng Medical hos
pital being tno recipient. The students
flnlEhcd their work with U and an ex-
prcrsman was paid to take it away. He was
too lazy to bury It and dumped the barrel
where It was found.
Regarding the body of the Infant , the hospital -
pital authorities say that some time ago an
unknown man called at the hospital , saying
that ho had the body of n baby which he
would donate to the hospital. A boy was
sent with the man and brought back the
body. It was also given to the express
man to bo burled with that of Cummlngs.
The pollco at once began looking for the
man , as they thought the baby was mur-
deicd. His name Is John McDonald and
after ho had proved that the child was his
legitimate son and had died from natural
causes , he was released.

FAILED TO ELECT A SENATOR

DEMOCRATS LOSE A VOTE BY DEATH
SCPIIPN of the Mont Intrnrir Kxoltc *
luoiit WltticNNeil nt the Slate
Cniiltol rrcvlnttn to the
Joint Si-KHloii.
FRANKFORT , Ky. , March 9. For the second
end tlmo death has added to the complexity
of a senatorial contest that has engrossed
public Interest In this state for two months
and attracted wide attention throughout the
country. The death ot Senator Rosel Wcls- *
singer today removes , besides a distinguished
member of the Louisville bar , ono ot the
most active and energetic figures In the
senatorial fight ; n man who had within the
past few weeks defeated Dr. Hunter , the re
publican nominee , and successfully baffled
every attempt of > the followers ot Senator *
Blackburn to secure the re-election ot that i
leader. The exact political effect of the
event of today cannot bo determined , but
tonight nn election seems moro remote than
ever. The republicans , however , hnvo sixty-
eight members of the legislature and tha
democrats sixty-seven , with a probability ot
the t support of the two populist members na
long | aa Blackburn Is their nominee , Taking
Into consideration the announced determina
tion of the republicans to force n vote In the
house tomorrow upon the Dimlap-Kauffnian
contest capo for the purpose ot unseating
Kauffman ( dcm. ) the key to the situation
seems to bo the attitude of L'cutenant Gov
ernor Worthlngton , who presides at the joint
sessions , will take upon the question ot a
quorum. If ho holds to the decision ho Is
sold to have announced \\lien a Vacancy was
caused by the dctth of Representative Wil
son , that seventy shall constitute a quorum
of the joint session , the republicans , oven by
seating Dunlap can count up only sixty-nino
votes and the democrats , with the two popu
lists , will have the same number , so that
either party may break a quorum at will
and prevent an election. If ho takes the
position that slnco the death of Senator
Welsslngcr slxty-nlno members constitute a
quorum , the election ot St. John Boyle of
Louisville can be accomplished by tho' re
publicans If they seat Dunlap and give the
caucus nominee the whole party strength.
This session will expire before a successor
to Mr. AVclsslnger can be elected. It I al
most certain that tomorrow a vote will betaken
taken ID the Dunlap-Kauffman case and that
Kauffman , the democratic member , will bo
unseated. Whether the democratic senators' '
retaliate or not , the republicans assert the
election of Mr. Boyle Is a certainty. The
democrats say they will not go Into the joint
session It an attempt to unseat Kauffman Is
made. Beyond that the politics of the. situ
ation cannot bo foretold.
NO ATTEMPT TO ELECT.
At today's joint session there was no at
tempt to elect. The death of Mr. Welsslnger
having bccu announced before 12 o'clock , It
was agreed between the leaders that the
proceedings bo confined to a formal ballot
to fill the requirements of the law , but one t
vote being cast for the nominee ot each
party , after which no quorum was announced
and the session adjourned. Afterward both
houses reconvened and appointed committees ,
to take appropriate action upon the death -f
of Mr. Welsslnger. The adoption of the vj
resolutions drawn up by these committees
was followed In both branches by adjourn- Jy ;
ment. 4
The senate met at 11 o'clock , and on mo- M
tlon of Senator Bronston Immediately adjourned - i
journed until 1 mlnuto of 12 o'clock , on ao , .
count of the serious Illness of Senator Wels- ' * f
singer. &
When the house met a great crowd was on *
hand. The speaker had given an order to - |
the sergcant-at-arms to admit nobody except
those entitled to the floor of tbo house , and
the crowd which had expected to fill the gal
leries and lobbies was kept out. This pre
caution was taken on account of the Intense
Interest and excitement over the vote on tbo
Dunlap-Kaffman contest. The excitement
over political questions had been abated to
an extent , however , by the news that Sena
tor Welsslnger was dying at hlo room In the
Capital hotel. .
Business was checked shortly after the
opening by the speaker , who Instated that
the sergeant at-arms was admitting men not
entitled to the floor. Ho said that complaint
had been made that the men had been In
timidated on the floor Saturday when the
joint ballots were being taken.
Vlolott aald that the speaker was mistaken.
Intimidation had been attempted , but tbo
attempts were not successful.
Carroll , democrat , moved that the house
adjourn until 12 o'clock on account ot the
expected death of Senator Welsalngor.
Burnham , republican , objected , holding that
It would bo tlmo enough to adjourn when
the news of the death of Mr. Wclsslncur
was received. He asked for time until a
conference of republicans could bo hold.
A vote was taken after much heated argu
ment by Carroll , Spauldlng , Fllppen and
others. The democrats Insisted that out
nt respect to the dying man such a recess
should bo taken. A. call of the -roll on the
motion was ordered ,
ORDERED A ROLL CALL.
Spauldlnt ; of Marlon said that out ot de
cency the motion to tnko a recess should
be carried unanimously , und ho asked that
It should be so ordered. He wan overruled ,
however , and the roll was ordered called.
The slcnlflcanco of this was that the re
publicans were determined to take up the
contested case of Dunlap vs Kauffman , and
brlr.B It to a vote. They voted solidly
against a recess , whllo the democrats voted
ayn.
ayn.Mr , Vlolctt , when his name was called ,
said with emphasis that ho hoped the house
would dismiss the partisan spirit and take
a receia In honor ot a noble and pure spirit
now In the struggle * * of death , "I vote
aye , Mr. Speaker , " said he.
Mr. Howard , republican , arose before the
vote was announced , and said that In poll-
tics ho was a partisan , but In this Issue he
arose above party difference , H was now
11 o'clock , and nothing could now be done ,
he said. In the contested case. Ho voted
Carroll , democrat , his voce ! trembling
with emotion , said , "I will assure the
gentlemen of the opposition that I will vote
for the republican nominee If there lo the
slightest prospect of the election of a dem
ocrat , and I ask that the recess tin granted. "
Lyons , republican , on this assurance , voted
with the democrats ,
Thlo closed the remarkable debate , the ap
parent unfeollngncss of which only shows the
great strain brought about hy the crisis In
the ( senatorial contest. The Incident , with Its
attendant display of partlHanehlp was ended
and BOOH forgotten , when , at 1140 ; o'clock ,
the death of Senator Wolrelnger was an
nounced. The motion to take a recess until 1
mlnuto of 12 was then put and carriedby / a
unanimous vote. Just before the noon hour
the senate filed Into the houao chamber. The
jam outside nnd In the corridors wa terrific.
The presiding olllcer mid .that he hoped
that there would bo no 'disorder ,
Mr. Carroll nald that It had been mutually
agreed by democrats and republicans to
make no attempt to elect a United Statea
senator. Ho moved tiiat the reading of the
roll call ho dispensed with and that only
two names , the first democrat , and the flrst
In the republican lltt. bo call ) ' ] . This wan
agreed to , and the nanio ot Senator Ben
nett , lopubllcan , was called. Ho voted for
Boyle , When Senator Brciiiton'a name ,
which IH the fit tit of the democrats , was
called , ho voted for Blackburn.
An objection to thlu wan made by Senator
Jamoi , whp paid he thought that In order
to si'f that the law wan strictly compiled
with , enough nur.ies should bo called to
break a quorum , all those , except thu two
already named , of course , refusing to vote.
This was acceded to and a call of the roll
