The funner expressed surprise and assured the there was no foundation for Consul Drlcea fears. Mr. Williams went to the Isittom of the subject, and then sent on Christmas night a cable to the Secretary of State that the Americana In Matanxas were not In danger. The Government of Cuba was much annoyed over the Incident and the Governor of Matanzaa was notified from Havana Immediately. He addressed the communication to Consul Brice, asking him to Inform him of the cause of hia assertion that Americana were In danger and point out any specific reason why he thought such danger existed. Consul Price was placed In an embarrassing position.

CANNOT BE NATURALIZED States Have no Powers to Confer Citizenship on Chinese. San Francisco, Dec. 27. Judge Morrow rendered an important opinion in the United States District court today on the writ of habeas corpus asked for by Gee Hop, a Chinaman, who arrived from lekin three months ago' a ml was refused permission to land, although he had paiiers showing that he had been naturalised by a New Jersey court. Commissioner Heacock, who took evidence in the case, recommended that Gee Hop be remanded for the reason that there was no law conferring the right of naturalization upon Mongolians or natives of China; that the Judgment of the Court of Common Pleas of New Jersey naturalizing Gee Hop waa absolutely null and void for want of lurisdlctlon, and that, therefore, Gee the Hop was and . la not a citizen oL Sna nil lm.(f he kUn, (Tutted flt.lM.-ibe permitted to land in this cannot country. In this conclusion, Judge Morrow said, I heartily agree. The matter of naturalisation la exclusively within the control of the Government of the United States, and not of the States. Charged with Murder. New York, Dec. 29. Albert A. Nellies, a real rotate dealer, waa arrested today and held In $5000 bonds, suspected of having murdered Mrs. Jane some time last night. The body of the murdered woman waa found In the hallway of the house In which Nellies lived. The Coroner's physician held an autopsy today and announced that death was due to a fracture of the skull, probably caused by a blunt instrument. Nelliea at first denied that he was acquainted with Mrs. Runnett, but afterwards stated that he had known her for fifteen years, and that hia wife and the murdered woman were Run-net- t, close friends. HOW NICARAGUA WAS SKINNED. London Bondholders Play Their ual Gama with Her. New York, Dec. 27. Us- Mall advices to the Associated Press from Managua, Nicaragua, dated December Mh, say that the Ismdon syndicate of holders of the railroad bonds Issued In 1886 by cabled Nicaragua, and due In 1895, havereferentheir acceptance to the ad dum" agreement, which they wrote out on September 12th for Nicaragua to accept. It gives to the bondholders the additional securities of an export duty of at least one cent gold per )iound on all coffee exported from Nicaragua In consideration of a reduction of the rate of Interest of C to 4 per cent per annum, and the cancellation of of the unpaid Interest to January 1, one-ha- lf 1896. This rebate In Interest and cancellation of part of the Interest due, are, however, more than compensated by several charges, expenses, etc., claimed by the syndicate, which Nicaragua has to pay annually. The Issue In 1886 by Nicaragua of railroad bonds amounting to 285,000, is due In 1919. Interest on them was paid to January, 1892, and In addition, one-ha- lf yearly payment was made In June, 1893. The bonds were sold In 1886 at about 77)4 cents on the dollar, but because of commission, etc., of the London bankers, Nicaragua received only about 53 cents on the dollar. It Is probable that the Congress of Nicaragua, which assembles January 1. 1890, will not accept the terms of this ad referendum. WIND ON HIS BACK. Englis- h-speaking X-- . al THE UTAH MINES.

Welis, brother of the Governor-elec- t of Utah, to the Post thla morning. AH the pageantry and pomp, all the splendor of decoration and glory of parade will be there. The people will jwur In from every nook and corner, and amid the booming of cannon and cheers of an enthused multitude, the ceremonials will be enacted that will place Utah in the sisterhood of States. At night beaoon fires will be kindled from every hill and mountain peak. The President's proclamation will be Issued on the 4th of January, and the new government will go Into effect on the 6th. The inaugural proceedings will he held In the grand Mormon Tabernacle, which seats 12,000 people.

The Camp Floyd or Merour mining district, fifty miles south of Salt Lake, bids fair to turn out a second Cripple Creek, and people are rushing there now by the hundreds.: By next July it Is estimated that 16,000 people will be there. Several mines, are already paying handsome dividends. The ore Is free milling, and can be treated very cheaply by the new process. Nobody doubts that there exiata'.a vast quantity of the precious inetall in that locality, and It only needa ksapltal to develop It Into one of the greatest gold camps in the world. If thw. money that was lost last week In thrf slump of stocks had been In- in Utah mines, the United States would have gold enough nut only for her own needs, but to be a lender to all nations. DELEGATE CANNONS WORK. Cannon took a prominent Delegate, Iiort 1A the Republican conference last night which demanded this morning an amendment of the bond bill in the Committee on Ways and Means and of the Committee on Rules, and an extension of time in which to oipoae that measure on the floor. The conference was largely due to his Initiative. He was one of Its most prominent members, and was honored by being made one of the committee which waited upon the Republican leaders this morning. As a result, both of the demands of the Republican conference last night were granted. The bill was amended so there can be no question as to its meaning regarding the preservation of the volume of legal tenders, and the Committee on Rules permitted an extension of the debate through two days and a night session, which was a generous response to the demands uf the conference of last evening. The Cannon resolution which iiasred the House yesterday, transferring the furniture and fixtures of Territorial of, fines to the new State of Utah, was called up today In the Senate by Senator Dubois and passed In Just one minute and a half after It was laid before the Senate, There waa no debate and no objection, the only demand being that the bill should he read, which was made by Senator Kerry of Arkansas. The resolution now goes to the President for hia signature. SAMPLING SILVER-LEAORES. Senator Dubois Introduced today a bill providing for the sampling of r-lead ores, which waa drafted after conference with the Treasury officials.

The committee decided to rt the McCall resolution in a modified form. Am ag read upon. It calls upon the President for Information as to the alleged utterances of Mr. Bayard, and the corroaondence on the subject. The Cuban revolution waa brought before the committee through a resolution for recognition of the Insurgents, Introduced by Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania. It was the unanimous opinion of the committee that Congress should re-lio- not take action until further Information was in hand, so a resolution calling on the State department for correspondence and Information waa drafted. The case of Waller was brought up again, and the resolution of Mr. Miller of Kansas, asking the 8tate department for the records of the trial with the and the correspondence French Government, will be reported to the House, The Senate Strong for Silver. Washington, D. C., Dec. 27. The Republican Senators have devoted considerable time during the past few days to Informal conferences concerning the House tariff and bond bills. It la generally admitted that both bills will encounter very serious obstacles In the Senate, largely on account silver sentiment In that body. Thla sentiment la so strong that it has been men that It feared by the amendwould result In a ment to the bill. It has been suggested that one of the bills might be sacrificed for the purpoae of getting the other of-th- e anti-sliv- er free-silv-er through. the bond and a It la free-colna- ge Mil believed by some that if can first be considered bill substituted for it and passed, the Republicans will then consent to allow the tariff MU to pass without the silver amendment, and it la upon thla line that the friends of the tariff bill are now proceeding. Some of the silver Republicans have Indicated a willingness to consider this suggestion, but others of them express doubts as to tta feasifree-colna- ge Sen-clary'- s Told by Refugees.

It la reported here that Gen. Gomez and Gen. Macao, at the head of the Insurgents are now moving rapidly la tha direction of Clenfuegoa, In the southern part of the province of Bants Clara, and It Is feared by the Spanish officers that the Cubans hope to capture the town of Clenfuegoa, thus giving the insurgents what they are said to most desire at the present time a seaport city. It is reiorted that Gen. Campoa haa cabled to Spain to send him reinforcements with all possible speed.

Tlie Washington, cable report from Constantinople that I the I'n ted States denied the right of Turkey to prevent the passage of warships through the Dardanelles brings out the fact that this Government has constantly declined to admit such a right, and while it haa not recently had occasion to make an issue with Turkey unm this subject. Ministers to that country have been cautioned to go no further than to recognise the exclusion as a usago and nut aa a right. President Tierce in 1851 first laid down the doctrine that this Government was determined to maintain the freedom of the great natural channels of navigation and to deny the right of a nation to treat one of the great maritime highways of nations aa a closed sea and prevent Its navigation freely. In the case of Turkey, Secretary Fish In 1871 and 1872 regarded the abstract right of the Turkish Government to obstruct the Dardanelles as a serious question, and felt that a proper occasion might In the future arise for ua to dispute the applicability of the claim r, to United States but meanwhile It was deemed expedient to acquiesce In the exclusion. There has been no recent re assertion of this doctrine. nien-of-wa- Prominent Man Killed. St. Louis, Mo., Due. 29.
