Iniquities arc exposed end Immediate Justice is called for. Both papers were seized , the editions were de stroyed , and proceedings against them were Instituted In both the .ivll and military courts. The editor of Imparclal , who signs his denunciation of the' powers that ho writes about , says In part : "It Is painful that events should oblige ) a patriotic journalist to t-ay that among the general and field officers of the Spanish army In Cuba theic arc sonic unworthy of being general olllcera or Spaniard ) . In the lovely I fie where we nro fighting for a glorious past , staking Spain's future , are men who make abundant - ant , scandalous wealth out of the nation's honor by the death of our soldiers. " The article charges Weylcr and the heads of thu commissary and hospital departments with Incapacity tn not stopping the abuses nnd frauds which had been denounced by the Madrid nnd Havana papers , by letters received from the colony , and by Invalided soldiers , arriving by the hundreds every month , wlti u dismal talc of Bufferings , privations and lack of food , both In the field and In the hospitals. The Imparclal calls on the government to act swiftly , Instantly nnd Inflexibly , sparing no offenders , even If It has to shoot men of rank , after a thorough , Inexorable Investigation on the spot , by lioncst military Judges , who ought to be sent out with a new governor In the person of the present war minister , Gen eral Azearraga , If the Spanish nation and government are to clear themselves of all responsibility In directions whose failure to do so has played Into the hands of the In surgents and of their sympathizers In the United States. The articles In the Imparclal and the Hcrnldo have caused a deep and painful Im pression , naturally Increasing the rumors about the c-.irly recall ot Weylcr. At today's council at the palace the min ister of the colonies , Senor Castellanos , ob tained the queen regent's signature to ten decrees , putting Into force Immediately In Porto Rico the administrative and 1 ( cat re forms voted by the Cortes , June. 12. 1894. Those reforms contain no political or eco nomical homo rule , and no extension ol electoral suffrages. These matters the Span ish Parliament will have to discuss and vote upon later. The government wants lo shov. sincerity In HP pians for Porto Rico , am ! thus signify Its Intention to do ns much for Cuba when the military situation Improves. ARTHUR E. HOUGHTON. COMMOHOHK CLKAItS I-'OU CirilA. I'aperH iNhited In Spite of the 1'rotext of the SpanlKh COIIHII ! . JACKSONVILLE , Fla" , Dec. 31. The steamer Commodore cleared at the custom house nt C o'clock this afternoon , with a , cargo ot arms nnd ammunition , consigned to Salvador Clxncro , president of the Cuban republic , nt Clenfugos , Cuba. A crew of twenty-seven men was carried , despite the fact that the Commodore Is of only nlnety- nlno tons' register. Most of these were Cubans. Among the number was Stephen Crane , the novelist , who signed as a seaman for $20 per month. The cargo consist of the following : Ono thousand pounds of dynamite , two boxes electrical apparatus. 200 rillcs. 203,000 cartridges , 300 machetes , fourteen boxes of drugs and three bundles of clothing. Clearance papers were Issued , notwith standing that a formal protest was made by Senor Solla. Spanish consul for Florida , ivhlcli was made In writing to the collector. The grounds were that the rules and rcgula- 'tlons of the ports of entry In Cuba pro hibit the Importation of munitions of war except upon the written .permission of the governor general of the Island , and also upon the ground that It Is the belief of the cdnsul that the nrnm are to bo used by the Insur gents against the kingdom of Spain and also the port to which they are consigned. The Spanish consul ban refused to vide the clear ance papers , which Is u necessity In going to a foreign port , for the reason that the regulations do not permit the Importation of nrniH upon the Island without a permit , and this Captain Murphy did not have. The con sul Issued a certificate , however , stating his refusal and his reason therefor. The Commodore went down the river about 8 o'clock , mi officer from the revenue cutter Boutwell having been placed on board to see that no ono should ho taken on board while going down the river. The officer wa.s In structed to leave the boat at the mouth of the river. H Is tt jt believed the Commodore will make on attempt to land Its eargo nt Clenfugos , but v'M make n landing at nome convenient plnco along the Cuban coast. The steamer Three Friends arrived In port shortly after noon today from Key West , with Peter 0. Knight , deputy collector of customs at Key West , on board. An officer from the cutter Boutwell wns placed on board. The boat will bo held until It shall be libeled by thn district attorney , who was out of the city today.

( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) A World correspondent has penetrated the Spanish olllclal seclusion known as "Incommunlca- do. " It la the final time such a thing ever was known here. Through the courtesy of the acting governor general , the marquis of Ahumada , I have neon nnd conversed with Henry Dolgado of Hudson , N. Y. , a pris oner here , whose case has attracted much attention In the United Stated. Visiting today the ward In San Ambroslo hospital set apart tor semi-political prls- oncra I found Dclgudo In a large , lofty , airy apartment with an Iron-grated door , guarded outside by two soldiers. The ward con tained twelve Inmates , all sick prisoners. Dclgado lay on a wide , comfortable cot , v iicli had clean linen , a white blanket and a pink Chlniso counterpane with frilling around the edges. Ills appearance chocked me. I knew him In health , when ho wan a large , robust man , with red checks and blue cyca. Now he Is but the shadow of tils former self , almost a skeleton , \\\a \ \ akin yel low , his face pinched , his large eyes promi nent and pliyrilcally greatly prostrated. He grasped my hand feebly , Eald 1 WUH the first person to visit him In his captivity nnd ex pressed much surprise that 1 had been able to reach him. He Is suffering from an Im mense absccrs In the lower portion of the abdomen on the right side , just below the line ot the umbilicus. It fluctuated , thus indicating that the suppuration was con fined to the abdominal muscles and not com- .munlcatlng to the abdominal cavity. Be sides , he has general malarial poisoning. contracted In Plnar del Rio. He suffers lit tle pain , but says he Is so prostrated he cannot eat ; can only drink. He had beside him a mug of fresh milk , which he pro nounced the richest and best ho had ever drank. An attendant brought him a capsule of quinine , which he swallowed with dllll culty. He said he could not eat the cggo and beef broth ottered to him. He de scribed his- capture In Plnar del Ulo In u house with other sick persons ( really an insurgent hospital ) . 1 > was suffering from the absceas In his side then , but It was not far advanced , and from malaria. DELGADO'S STORY. "Some Insurgents who were outside , not sick were fired on , " Delgado said , "by an advancing Spanish column. I crawled out of bed , rolled down a side hill and hid In the tall grass , where two hours later I was found by the soldiers. 1 was at first tied with ropes , but Colonel San Martin , com manding the column , ordered me untied and permitted me to ride one of his pack milks.- The troops marched all day and camped at night. Colonel San Martin al lowed me to sleep at his headquarters In company with his adjutants , and the med ical director fed me from his own table. The next day I rode again , but with great dllllculty , being much In pain. Colonel San .Martin continued to feed mo and displayed kindness I never can forget. Arriving at Damas , on the north coast , I was detained several days and then placed on a small freight steamer. The voyage to Havana took four days , the steamer touching every where. VI was unkindly treated by the seamen and kept on the foredeck. I could cat noth ing and the captain and purser would do nothing for me. They were common , Ig norant follows. I was taken to the Cabanas fortress , too weak to walk up the covered way to the Interior. While waiting at the wharf a rabble of boatmen and laborers Insulted me. After being detained part of one day 1 was removed to San Ambroslo hospital , where I have been eight days. " Dclgado said the Spanish regular officers and men were always kind. A sentry on the steamer elmred his food with him when the captain of the boat did nothing. I asked If ho was kindly treated In the hospital. He replied that he would recover. He had no special message to send to Now York. except love and best wlPhes to his family and friend : . Tears flowed from his eyes when he bade me good bye. HAS A SPLENDID SURGEON. Surgeon Major Mendoza of the Spanish army 'medical corps , Dclgado's attendant , gave mo full particulars of the case. He said the prostration Is so great ho feared to cpcn the abscess. If that does not break Internally there Is a prospect of Dclgado's recovery. Delgado cannot take enough food and Is given a bitter tonic. The complica tion of malaria Is greatly to his disadvan tage. Surgeon Mendoza is highly educated. Men of his profession assure me that ho will do all that Is possible to do for his patient. Ho promised that he personally would re ceive letters and newspapers addressed to Delgado , and give them to him. Friends may address , "Antonio Mendoza , Medico Mayor del Cuerpo de Sanldad Mllltar Hos pital , San Ambroslo , Havana. " I asked Delgado .three times If ho was writing for an evening newspaper In New York. He replleJ : "Nothing of the kind , nor for any newspaper. " He gave a written statement of his case to the military author ities at Damas before reaching Havana. Ho had a letter to Maceo and one to his sister In New York when he was captured. J San Ambrcslo Is full of sick soldiers down with malaria and yellow fever. WILLIAM SHAW BOWEN. XOT IN IM YOU OF ItliUOfiMTIOX. .Senator Walthall OPPONCN the Cam eron t'nhan IteNolnllon.

( Special. ) The mo mentous question of to caucus or not to cau cus Is Just now agitating the minds of the various "free silver democrat" candidates for legislative positions. The populists are hot for a caucus , and an early ono at that , Sat urday night , If possible , but the democrats know they are In the minority and are shy about going Into an alleged fusion caucus. The populists promise to tote fair , but there In still a bad taste In the mouth ot the av erage free silver democratic politician lull over from the populist state convention , from which ho emerged with one lone candidate for a s'ntc olllco endorsed Attorney General- elect Smyth. However , the populists say there will be a caucus held Just as soon as enough candidates are on the ground to war rant. This bids fair to be soon , as they are arriving on every train , and the corridors of the Lincoln hotel are humming like an acollan harp with the murmurs of political aspirants. One candidate for chief clerk of the house , Ellas Baker , dropped out today , and a new candidate for speaker , Ralph A. Clark of Richardson county , loomed up on the hori zon. Mr. Clark was chairman of the free silver democratic convention which nomi nated Judge Broady for congress last fall. It Is understood that ho Is not anxious to go Into a fusion caucus. Neither is Edson Rich ot Omaha. The latter Is a democrat , but ho has , nevertheless , a strong following among the republicans , and after n com plimentary vote to their uoinlnee the re publican ! ) may cast their solid vote for him for speaker. He Is also regarded quite fa vorably by some of the populists. The name of W. E. Foster of Plalnvlow , Pierce county , was today launched for first assistant clerk of the. house. H. C. Richmond mend of Red Cloud returned to Lincoln to day and Is rustling for support among all kinds and conditions of politicians , except republicans. There is bound to be consid erable friction between the populists and democrats regarding the distribution of leg islative places , and at the present writing a fusion caucus Is very Improbable. Yet In the event of a failure to fuse the popu lists have the advantage numerically and will undoubtedly avail themselves of the logic of the situation. Another unavailing and unprofitable meet ing of the state canvassing board wno held today In the governor's olllce. That It wan barren of results Is atlrotcd by the fact that the report ot the board still remains un- olgncd and with email prcapcct that It ever will be. A majority of the board , Including Treasurer Bartley .and Secretary of State Piper , -desire to sign a report finding that the amendments not having carried , there wasno election of supreme Judges at the general election held on the 3d of Novem ber last. Thlo Js opposed by Governor Hol- comb..Hpnbellevos that the board should certify up to the legislature the fact.that the first constitutional amendment submit ted , the one Increasing the membership of the supreme bench , received 84,000 votes for , with 30,000 votes against , and allow the leg islature to make such disposition of the matter ns the facts ao certified by the can- vawliiK board warrant. Under Justice Max- wcll'a decision that a majority of the votes cast for membeiB of the legislature would carry a constitutional amendment , the pop- ullats believe that the first amendment tar ried , and that Klrkpatrlck and Neville ore elected. But In order to make this claim good the vote for legislators would have to fall 30,000 short of the total vote cast In the state.

DEAD BODY FOUND ON THE SIDEWALK Suppoxcil tn Have I'nil en from Ull lleil Itoiiiii WlnilonDurltiu : an AttaeU of Asthma V Worker. ST. LOUIS , Dec. 31. Mr. Joseph II. Me- Cullagh. editor of the St. LouU Globe-Dem ocrat and one ot the beat known newepapet men In the country. Is dead us the result ol n fall ot twenty-five feet" from a Hccond- etory window of his apartments nt the rral- dcnce of his sister-in-law , Mis. Kate Man- Ion. nt 3S37 West Pine boulevard. The body , which was cold In death and clad only In a night gown , was discovered by Mis. Manlon'H colored man servant about 7 o'clock this morning. Waters , the colored servant , without touching the body , ran frightened Into the house , where he told tin cook of the discovery. She Immediately called Mta. Manlon , who had not yet arisen , and told her that Mr. McCullagh had fallen out ot his window and killed lilinwlf. Im mediately on being notified by the servanti Mrs. Manlon dispatched her coachman In summon Dr. C. H. Hughnt , who ivsldes In the neighborhood nnd was Mr. McCullagh'a physician during hl l st Illness. He haei- tened to the homo , and after examining the body ordered It removed to the houtse. There seems to bo n difference of opinion as to whether Mr. 'MeCullnRh's death wan due to accident or was the result of his own net. This latter theory is scoutMl by thfl dead man's friends. The Globe-Democrat will say : Dr. Hughes' conclusion , from the condition of the body when he examined It , Is that Mr. McCullagh plunged head II rat from the window about 3:30 : o'clock. On thu ground aruund the foundation of the hoitsn Is a stone water table. In the fall Mr. Mc Cullagh struck a sharp corner of this utono with HIP left sldo of his head , fracturing the parietal bone. The physic-Inn la nf Ihp opin ion that death follow cd Immediately after the shock of the fall. The victim's hrad was lying in a ( small pool of blood ulilrli had dripped from the wound. JiiJt how Mr , McCullagh happened to fall out of the win dow can only bo a matter or conjecture. Ihi had been 111 foveral rnontlin , and latterly was compelled to keep to his room. Ho paired his last night unattended , as he had alwayu slept during his Illncsa. HAD RETIRED EARLY. Wednesday evening Mr. McCullagh wns In the best of spirits , although he complained of not being qulto so well. The smothering sensation which hud troubled him nt Inter vals during his Illness hail returned to him In a milder form nnd rendered hl.n : languid nnd drowsy. Ho retired to bed about 7 o'clock , leaving word with the household that he did not wish to bo dlxturbed imlof-s It wad by his physician. Dr. HuKhra made his customary call about 7:30 : o'elork. ami expressed smprlso to Mr. McCullagh at find ing him In bed nt Ritch an early hour. "I am very weary , " Mr. McCiillagh said , "and I thought I would get as much rest as possible tonight. 1 expect my barlicr early In the morning to trim my hair , and I want to bo up when he arrives. " The physician administered to his pa tient's needs , raw that everything In the room was fixed for the night , nnd that thr > not th window was raUed about an Inch for ventilation. Then he bade Mr. McCnllagli good night , turned off the electric light and retired. Before going 'to bed Mrs. Manlon looked Into Mr. McCulIagh's room. She raw that everything In the room was In order , and then retired to her own apirtmcnts. About midnight she awoke and detected an odor of Escaping gas. She Investigated , nnd found a burner In the combination gas nnd elec tric light chandelier , which hangs MMpendcd In the center of Mr. McCulIagh's room. open. The gar was very strong In the apartment. Mrs. Manlon turned on the ok Uric light and off the gas. Mr. McCullagh awoke. "Joe. " Fhe eald , "did you know gas was escaping In your room ? You would have been a dead man In the morning If I bad uot discovered It. " WENT TO THE WINDOW FOR AIR. Mr. .McCullagh wap apparently too drowsy to realize what his Hlstcr-ln-law said. Ho murmured an Inaudible reply , and fell asleep again. Mrs. Manlon raided the open window n little higher , to that the fumes of the gas could leave the room , and then returned to bed. Indications seemed to be that Mr. Mc Cullagh had got out of bed for something , and In trying to turn on an electric light he turned on the gas. He did not notice the error , and retired again , unconscious ot danger. Careful Investigation warrants the con clusion that Mr. McCullagh was awakened later In the morning by a smothering at tack , nnd , climbing out of bed again , ner vous and unsteady from the spell , went to the window for moro air. As ho threw ) the sash up to Itf full height ho was prob ably overcome with weakness , lost his balance - ance , nnd rolled out over the window sill nnd fell to death. The funeral IF set for 2 o'clock Saturday ; afternoon ut Mrs. Manjon's residence. Rev. Dr. W. W. Boyd , pastor of the Second Baptlfit church , and Rev. John Snyder , a prominent Unitarian minister of this city , will conduct the services. The Interment will bo at Bellcfontalne cemetery. No note was found In Mr. McCullagh'a room explaining his act or leaving any In- Btructlons for the arrangement of his af fairs after death. SKETCH OF THE MAN. Joseph 11.
