WASHINGTON , Dec. 8. Secretary Gage
has submitted to the Department of State
his report upon the action cf the Treasury
department In suppressing filibustering expe
ditions to Cuba In violation of the neutrality
laws , a syno | sls of which , as furnlsaed by
the department Is as follows : Secretary Gage
points out the fact that during two years and
R half only six 'American vessels of an ag
gregate of 1,331 registered tons are alleged
to have successfully landed expeditions from
the United States In Cuba , With the ex
ception of the Laurada , the aU American ves
sels alleged to have successfully taken part
In expeditions In Cuban waters nro small
tugs and a pilot boat , each less than 100 tons
nnd obviously Incapable of carrying largo
numbers o ( men or largo quantities ot arms
and ammunition. Three foreign vtnaela of
an aggregate of 1,773 tons are alleged to
have been successful In the eame effort ,
Referring to these foreign vessels , the
Norwegian steamer Leon , the Danish
steamer Horsa nnd the British steamer
Bermuda , the secretary Invites attention
to the fact that the crews ot these
vesaea ! are required to bo shipped be
fore the consuls ot their respective
nations In accord "with the laws cf those
nations , which also Impose on th& misters
of those vessels various other duties to bo
performed by the consuls. Ho suggests the
Inquiry might bo pertinent whether the
Spanish authorities Informed these consuls
ot thc u alleged expeditions and wiother. If
not , some measure ct responsibility does
not rest on ISio Spanish authorities for the
alleged departure of thcto vessels , or , If the
consuls were notified , whether the same
mtusuro of responsibility does not rest upon
them. This suggestion Is made , not to shift
responsibility , but to show that If the alleged
cxpedltlcnb started without the knowledge of
troisury ofOMals that they also departed
without the knowledge of oindals of other
nations whoso action was a necessary prelim
inary < o clearances.
V10LATOUS WERK. FEW.
"With the vceucls referred to , It is al
leged there have been associated about a
dozan harbor tug * , three or four lighters ,
> i few small steamers nnd about a do/en
small sloops and schooners , In all less than
fifty. On the Atlcatlc and gulf coasts In
1885 there were 10.GSS American vessels
under 200 tons and 2,917 vessels at
1,100 touj or Iccw of a description and locali
ty aviilablo for filibustering purposes That
only six out of 13,585 American vessels suc
ceeded in reaching Cuba and that less than
fifty had any share In these expeditions ,
Secretary Gage sajo Is a demonstration ,
flrat ot the law-abiding spirit of the nation
and of the obedience of the people to the
president's proclamation ; and fceoond , of a
wholesome and repressive fear ca the part
of these who might bo disposed to bo law
less and violate our obligations as a neu
tral nation and of a belief that their efforts
will bo frustrated by the authorities of the
United States and that the risk of dis
covery and punishment greatly out
weighed any chance of profit from the ex
ceptionally high money reward offered to
vessel owners by the Cubans ;
"Eight revcinue cutters with crews of 317
men , armed with fifteen gure , have cruised
75.7S8 miles , occupying ISO months In the
aggregate , patrolling the coast to prevent
lilibusterlng expeditions. They have cap
tured seven vessels and lit men ; have
broken up two expeditions and have held
under surveillance thirteen vessels under
suspicion. From time to time several other
revenue cutters have been employed on tem
porary duty. "
Perhaps the strongest aMtemont In the
report is this. "If the Spanish patrol of
2,200 miles of Cuban coast has frustrated
one-half the number of expeditions which
were- frustrated by the United States au
thorities along a coast line of 5,470 mllra
not ore man nor one cartridge would l.ave
been Illicitly landed In Cuba from the
United States. Out ot the isxty ! alleged ex
peditions only four have been broken up
by Spain. " Illustrating this statement , he
icfsTs partlcu'iirly to the expedition that left
on the Laurada from E-iltlmoro and landed
at Banes on March 21. Ernes Is an Im
portant seaport on the northern coast of
Cuba with which the United States carried
on a valuable fruit trade until the Spanish
order prohibiting the export of banauso
issued ,
SPANISH OFFICERS DBHILICT.
Yol it appears that thp Laurada remiiined
In this seaport two days landing men and
arms and was not molested by the Spanish
authorities In Cuba who hnd 'been Informed
of Its landing , and even minutely where tor
pedoes had been plncel Unless Spain Is pre
pared to avow the inability or Indisposition
to deferd Its Interests In Cuba , Secretary
Gage holds that the responsibility lor the
succeFH of this expedition may properly bo
fixed upon -ipanlsh officials in Cuba , who bad
been fully informed by the 'Spanish legation.
The Spanish authorities have repeatedly as-
aortod that all of the seaports of Culm wore
n their possession.
In all sixty alleged expeditions were ex
amined Of these Secretary Gage Hliows that
two'Uy-elght ' have boei > frustrated throguh
ho efforts of the treasury department ; live
have been frustrated by the United States
navy ; four have boon frustrated by Spain ;
two have been wrecked ; ono driven back by
atorm ; ono failed from a combination of
causes ; one , the "Dolowaro , " ho declines to
recognize as other than' a violation of the
British foreign enlistment act. As Spain has
siffered no Injury from those forty-four fall-
urod , It Is assumed that they will ibe accepted
by Spain as evidence of the success of tlio
United States In maintaining Its obligations ,
and that a detailed statement concerning
'nch Is unnecessary.
EXPEDITIONS IN DETAIL.
Secretary Gage 'hen examines In detail
the seventeen alleged successful expeditions.
Ho points out that the partial fcuccess In ono
case was duo to the weakness of the Spanish
patrol of the coast ; In one case the SpaiMah
authorities at New York have exonerated the
officers of the treasury department from re
sponsibility ; that in ono case the Spanish
minister disagrees with the legal advisor of
the Spanish legation , and also disagrees with
himself as 'to the date at the successful ex
pedition , and tlio government has no infor-

as the vessel may have been successful ,

however. It Is to bo observed that the col

representing the Spanish consul , stated to
him that ho < lld not desire the vessel do-

Ing of the pier and it would advlso the

parture of the sloop , and that they desired
the matter to bo left In tholr own hands.
Secretary Gage makes no estimate of the

large , deeming the extent and results ot the
work performed by tbo department a bet

their oaths , and a bettor standard ( by which

WASHINGTON , Dec. 8. A paper was clr

with a view to bringing about a conferenc
of those members favoring a change In th

handled by Representative Pearson of Nort
Carolina , and received numerous signatures
The purpose. It Is understood , is to mak
the conference nonpolltlcal in character
and to extemd It outside of the membershli
of the civil service committees , as some o
the men most active In urging a revlslo
of the law are not on this committee. General
oral Groavcnor of Ohio Is among these. H

WASHINOTON , Dec. 8.-Tho democrats ot
the house will caucus soon on party policy.
Representative Richardson , the caucus chair
man , s&ld today that bo was consulting with
members as to what day would suit them
and ho expected that the .meeting will occur
In the latter part ot this week or early next
week.
Considerable difference ot opinion has
arisen between the democratic members as
to the necessity of a caucus , and some of
the democratic loaders have withheld their
names from the call on the ground that a
aliens at Mils tlmo could do no good and
tight lead to considerable difference nnd
[ vision ,
The promolcrs of the caucus secured about
fly signatures , which Is sufficient to re-
ulro 'Chaliman ' Richardson to Issue a call
hen a convenient tlmo is agreed upon. Tlio
uderstandlng Is that the .purpose . of the
aucus Is to determine upon a line of policy
s to Cuba , Hawaii and nuance , although It
vould not .bo surprising If some question as

WASHINGTON. Dec. S. The secretary of
var has forwarded 'to ' congress the report
f the examination survey of the waterway
rom 'tho ' mouth of the Jetties at Galveston ,
Tex. , through the shin channel and up Buf-
ilo bayou to Houston. The report of the
icunl In charge of the work places the
obil cost of the projected work at $4,000-
Ol ) . It tays at a conservative estimate' tjio
Hrect saving In freight on produce shipped
by way of the Galvccton entrance , which
vould result from such an Improvement
contemplated , would bo $600,000 a year. TUD
eport says the saving on freight actually
using Gahcston entrance Is but a small
neasuro of value In the Improvement of
arming communities ot nciguborlng states ,
as all rates to the seaboard would neces
sarily bo affected. '

WASHINGTON , Dec. S. The Indications
are that the holiday recess of congress will
extend from Saturday , December IS , to Mon
day or Tuesday , January 4 or B. Speaker
RooJ Is understood to favor these dales. If ,
lowever , any Important business develops in

bo postponed Into Christmas week. So far
as the house concerned . no general 'legisla
tion will be ready for discussion before the
holidays , and work is likely to be confined to
the appropriation bills.

WASHINGTON' , Dec. 8. ( Special Tele

view with Al Ca'rllsle , Inspector of furniture ,
toaay in relation to Iho postoffice building
at Omaha. Mr. Carlisle stated that an extra
effort would bo made to have the furniture
In the 'building ' 'between ' January 1 nnd 15
As this Is the only feature that Is delaying
the occupancy of1'the building , it seems saro
to predict that the Omaha postofflco will bo
In possession of the new building shortly
after Now Years.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 8. The committee
on rules of the house , of which Speaker
Reed is chairman , will get together during
the holidays to consider such change of the
IIOUSB rules as experlenco has shown to bo
desirable. It Is not expected that these
will touch any vital point , but will be rather
in the nature of routine changes to facilitate
the dlspatph of business. Messrs. Walker

CANTON , 0. , Deo. 8. Mrs. McKlnlc-y was
estltiK quietly when the doctor called this
lOrnlng , but was materially weaker than
lie was during the greater part of ycstcr-
ay. She rested very well during the fore
tart of the night , but as has been the ccse
early every night slnco her slctoess began ,
ha grew restless during the small hours
f the morning and seemed to be ( .tiling
qulto rapidly. She has been unable to take
ny nourishment , the last having been taken
ooti alter noon Monday. She has shown no
vldcuco of consciousness or recognition ot
hoao about her since the greeting she ox-
ended to the president nnd Mrs. McKlnley
ml those who came with him yesterday.
The president remained at the bodaldo of his
nether until about 0 o'clock this morning ,
vhen ho lay down for a little sleep. Ho was
up and In the sick room early In the fore
noon , however , and Is devoting nearly every
uomcul to attending to his mother.
The doctor announced coi leaving the house
his morning that the patient w > is perceptibly
\caker , but that she might survive the day.
At 11:30 : It was stated by Abncr MuKlnloy
hat there had been no decided change In
ho condition of his mother , save ho thought
10 eaw Indications that she had grown
vcaker since the early morning hour. No
ilaiw as to the length of the president's
stay have been made.
Dr. Phlllliks left the McKinley house and
reported that ho hnd noted no material
change In the condition of the patient since
9 o'clock. She Is etlll In the unconscious
nleep and otlll slowly weakening. Ho does
not care to venture an opinion as to when
the final sccao will come. The family re
gard the end as coming on slowly nnd
Keadlly. They have noticed during the
entire day a gradual failure and fear that
the patient Mill not long survive the day.
At 2 o'clock the Information Is given at the
McKlnley residence tint the mother of the
iuesldent la still growing weaker. She con
tinues In the same quiet root which has
prevailed all day , and the alight change Is
only apparent to those who liavo been coiu
etantly at the bedside * .
All day the children of Mrs. Nancy AllIfOA
McKlnleyero near her bedside , watching
for Indications ot a hopeful change. They
were d'sappointod. There was no ray of
light ) en the face which betokened returning
consciousness. She has been lyli' ; in leth
argic repose as If In sleep most of the time.
3he Is gradually but purely growing weaker.
Mr. Abner McKlnley ssys the family are
hoping against hope that she may show a
better condition , but her state during the
day has been such that the watchers th'nk
the end Is gradually drawing near.
The doctor saw the patloat early this
evening. He said he could notice no mater
ial change , but tha weakening process con
tinues steadily. Ho Is prepared -for disso
lution at any moment , but at the time of
his visit had not abandoned hope that eho
would continue ! In life during the night and
possibly longer.
Members of the family at the same hour
did not seem to be so hopeful. They have
been more corc-tantly at the bedside during
the Illness ard to them the steadily ta-
nrpnslncrvpnknoFfl all dnv was morn annar-
ent than to the doctor. Charlcw H. Miller , ,
who has been almost constantly at the
house , eald that ho had not previously ifotod
such continued weakness cis was noted dur
ing thd day. This was also accompanied by
a higher temperature end he could scarcely
hope that the pitlent would live beyond mid
night. Ho further Eald the others of the
relatives felt fully as apprehensive.
The president Is almost constantly at the
bedside , refusing to bo relieved by others
.nd to take the real and exercise- should.
While H bia bren a matter the president
has declined to discuss or to give any information
mation , out to his frlcmds , and Impossible
for the reporters to secure any Information
upon , It Is believed from the Indication at
the postolllco and the telegraph office , that he
la receiving .numerous . congratulations from
the people of Iho country on * his message to
congress. The tad circumstances of the
visit to his home at this time has not pre
vented the people from making manifesta
tions of their congratulations.
During the evening Mother McKlnley again
aroused from her palsied sleep. She lay
quietly and resLfully on her bed , the presi
dent at her sUe , watching Intently and hope
fully for some sign of recognition. The
awakening , however , waa not accompinled
by any appreciable rally. This was the con
dition at 11:30 : o'clock. Up tr < > ; hat hour the
patient remained In 'the deep sleep la which
she reposed all day.
When the doctor made ihls last call , finding
her In/ / this sleep , lie thought she would live
until morning. She was still growing
weaker , but so slowly that unless a ma.
terlal change camr ; her stiength would holA
out during the night.
