[ B t CABLJ6 TO TUB HERALD. 1 LONDON, Jan. 6, 1897.-At the dinner of the

Article Club given at the Hotel Cecil this evening Mr. Thomas P. Bayard, United States Ambassador to Great Britain, re­sponding to the toast "The American Peo­ple," referred incidentally to Canada, in the growth »*-i**rTch he declared there was noth­ing that ought not to awaken the sympathy, pride and pleasure of the citizens of the United States.

Although it might be that some seemed to stand between the hearts of the British and American people, he was assured, he said, that the sentiments actuating the best men in England were Incidental with those actuat­ing the sam*4 class in the United States, and he wan rejoiced that he had been permitted TO syrve as the Ambassador of the United States to Great Britain.

He came trom a friendly country to a friendly country, and would have been false to his duty if he had not spoken in the voice of a friend, by doing which, however, he had ••voked the displeasure of some persons. For this. Mr. Bayard said, he was sorry in one *' nse and not sorry in another sense.

If darts fatal to his own country and to that of his hearers had been attracted to himself he was grateful for the distinction, and if a man was to be censured for fidelity to the cause of amity of nations between whom he was supposed to act as a friendly envoy he was rather to be congratulated than condoled with.

In concluding his remarks, Mr. Bayard >aid:—

it l* in no poor, weak spirit of defiance. >iit rasher in a sedate, well considered spirit

of gratitude, that I reflect that in performing my international duty I have done some-»Vng to brine the hearts and the hands of "'tr peoples .-loser. In that reflection is my -•-vard. it is mine and belongs to me. 1 brought it here and shall carry it away and i-a<>T> it wherever 1 go."

Texas Jan. 6, 1S97.— The Chamber of Depu­ties last night, after an exciting debate, ap­proved the projected l a x on foreign insur­ance companies.

The tax is ten per cent on all premiums ex­cept those involved in life assurance, which will bo taxed at the rate of two per cent. National companies will be taxed two per cent and one-half per cent respectively, the foreign companies to pay also an annual tax of 16,000, $5,000 or $8,000, according to their classification.

As well as ,these amounts, foreign corpora­tions must also pay fifty per cent of the an­nual tax for every new risk. National com­panies will pay an annual tax of $2,000, paper curiency, and fifty per cent for every new risk.

Insurance upon the products of agriculture will not be taxed.

President Uriburu will not sanction the proposed issue of $10,000,000 in mortgage bonds advocated by the Chamber of Deputies, to be used in helping the farmers who have lost their crops.

COMFTJLSOBY BOILEB INSPECTION

[From the European Edition of the Herald.] At its next session the House of Commons

will probably be called upon to legislate on the Important subject of boiler inspection, the recent conference held at Manchester having decided in favor of resubmitting the bill introduced by Sir William Houldsworth last session.

Experts have long been agreed that in no occupation is loss of life so preventlble as in the using and management of boilers: vet, despite the passing of the Boiler Explosion act in 1882, no fewer than 957 explosions have been investigated by the Board of Trade within the last fourteen years. Involving the death of 402 persons. The Commissioners who inquired into these accidents have dis­pelled the old fable that there was any mys­tery connected with boiler explosions. They showed beyond any doubt that every one of these accidents and every one of these lives could have been spared by the exercise of care and forethought, principally through the medium of reliable Inspection of the boil­ers, which in many cases were as thin "as a kettle, an old sixpence or a sheet of brown paper." '

It is to render inspection obligatory that the present bill will be introduced. Accord­ing to Engineering.

"It is of a very simple character and free from all officialism. It renders it Illegal to work a boiler which has not been examined and certified as safe. It leaves the boiler owner free to select his own inspector but holds him responsible for the competency of that inspector and for the validity of his certificate."

HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 6, via KEY. W E S T , Jan. 6, 1897.—To a certain extent correspond­ents' work in Havana is like that of a blind man groping in the dark, when Captain Gen­eral Weyler chooses to close the slide of his lantern. He has ne>er kept i t \ closed any tighter than since his last return from Pinar del Rio.

So far the General has refused to say any­thing. Those firm jaws of his are shut so tight that no form of persuasion can pry them open.

All the world, doubtless, knows more than we as to what Is really happening in Madrid, because there is no censor there. Here we are told that the Ministry has fallen in Spain, that Campos has replaced Canovas and that General Weyler will return to Mad­rid on or before January 20.

But what have we as corroboration of all

yiela on the subject. I explained to them that the HKSALD a lways gives both sides fearlessly.

The HERALD correspondent 1ft S a n t a C l a r a province writes:—

"The sugar crop is about ftfty per cent of the usual yield. There to no chance to weed it, however, and It is so tangled and stunted that only half the ordinary price can be got for it. * *

This would make twenty-five per cent as the net result, and some planters are hurry­ing their own crops, a s sugar can be mane from the burnt cane If handled directly and before being wet.

In regard to Maceo, there is no abatement In the reports of his being alive. It Is new

A \ t n a t t h e dentist Betancourt was arrest­ed because he was making gome apparatus r °r the support of Maceo's jaw.

Cubans who say they have seen Maceo since his alleged death are not lacking. In their stories they agree fairly well, but all these stories must be taken with the proverb­ial grain of salt.

Ufie thing, however, is significant. General. Weyler declared to me In the interview at his camp that he knew where Maceo's body was interred. With 200,000 men, or even less, he certainly ought to be able to go and disin-t e £ l t . That would settle all doubts at once.

When Jose Marti was killed, early in the insLrrection, Martlnes Campos sent a large force to Santiago de Cuba, disinterred the body and had It photographed, setting at rest ail doubt, and this neatly two weeks after the burial. -Why doesn't General Weyler do the same?

surely no present question is of more Im­portance,

Vieente Fernandez, a prisoner a t the Al-°ecoa Hospital, committed suicide yesterday, i t 13 believed that he was the same Fernan­dez captured with Delgado.

To THE EDLTOB OF TUB HERALD:— Holmes, the genial "Autocrat of the Break­

fast Table," wisely observed:—"Every real . thought on every real subject knocks the

wind out of somebody or other. As soon as his breath comes back he very probably begins to expend it in hard words. These are the best evidence a man can have that he has said something it was time to sav."

The "hard words" hurled bv one Pater­familias In T u e s d a y s HEKAI.P at the emi­nent scientist, M. Camille Flamtnarlon, and his recent novel. "Stella," being published in I the SUNDAY HKRALD. attest the timeliness ot I that admirable effort to popularize some of I the now securely established conclusions of ! science.

The evolution of the solar system from nebula to civilised man. as outlined in the , left hand column of "gtella's" summary in i last Sunday's HEHALD, has the indorsement i not only of scientists, but also of the Chris­tian leaders of the age. On the other hand, the most earnest and honest leaders in the Christian Church now regard the Bible ay a "collection of books" Including "legend, law. official records, historical fact, historical fic­tion, epic poetry, lyrical poetry, proverbial philosophy, drama, patriotic and religious addresses, biography, letters and dream lit­erature'—a conclusion w.deh in no way de­tracts from its spiritual usefulness.

This view of the Bible already an estab­lished fact, the thoughtful reader will see no ridicule In "Stella's" contrasting the de­velopment or evolution of the universe with the aetiological myths found in the Bible. It seems rather a succinct and clear state­ment of that psychological problem which

this? First, General Weyler*s own grim si­lence, his set face, nervous manner and changed habits. Next, copies of his especial champion, the Commerclo Milltar, of Madrid, which speaks of his return as advisable.

Then there is the mysterious recail re­ceived by correspondents of El Imparcial and El Heraldo, Madrid papers, the former of which shares with the HERALD*8 correspond­ent an experience at the front with General Weyler.

The odd thing about the order to these a s sailants of General Weyler is that they are told to go only to Porto Rico and await or­ders. The inference is that they are to re­turn here when General Weyler is replaced.

As a coming possibility in the way of Cap­tain Generals. Rivera, Campos' brother-in-law, is mentioned.

TO anow CONFIDENCE IN WEYLER. A meeting of army contractors was called

last night to protest against the attitude of the Madrid pres^ toward General Weyler and to express conildence in him. Uncharitable persons say. however, that they simply-fear that any change may bo followed by an ex­posure of frauds in their contracts, which might rai.se an earthquake in Spain.

I give these statements for what they are worth.

Sphinx like. General Weyler refuses to see me, so I cannot learn anything from him ex­cept the following incidental refutation of the above facts:—

Yesterday afternoon, as I wired, General Uee called on General Weyler with Senator-elect Money, ano General Weyler assured them that he could guarantee very shortly the practical pacification of Pinar del Rio. Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara prov­inces.

Surely, if he can do that he will not be re­moved.

As I wired, he welcomed Mr. Money cor­dially and was glad he had come. He told General Lee and Mr. Money he had allowed the IIKKALD correspondent to accompany him tn the field and would have been glad to have had Mr. Money with him also.

It is becoming apparent that Mr. Money is here with the knowledge of the Committee on Foreign Relations, which wants facts, and yet couldn't come as an official body.

I learn that Mr. Money was much tan

rebel parties, killing seventeen insurgents and taking twelve prisoners. The losses of the troops are not stated.

General Arolas also destroyed several rebel camps and many huts.

A restoration of McKlnley rates on wool will not be sufficient to save the sheep raisers of the country from ruin, according to th arguments of, former Judge Lawrence, Ohio, and other political shepherds who ap­peared to-day before the Committee on Ways and Means.

Judge Lawrence prefaced his remarks by saying that be proposed to be moderate and modest in his recommendations. He then went on to advise the committee to adopt a schedule which he admitted would be pro­hibitory in its rates, and would so stimulate the production of wool in the United States that after four years there would be no im­portations except to gratify the demands of persons who wanted special grades of goods which could not be manufactured from American wools. He would have these du­ties on wools supplemented by duties on woollen goods which would be prohibitory.

The Judge said that his plan would increase the cost of woollen goods of every kind, but he contended that if the wool growers of the country could have ample profits on their business, every one would be better able to buy woollen goods and everything else.

In the same way Judge Lawrence disposed of the objections made by some of the re­publican members of tthe committee that he proposed a schedule which would "be destruc­tive of revenue, by contending that high pro­tection would make the country so prosper­ous that heavier taxation in other directions could be borne without difficulty. The Judge complained especially of the invasion of the American markets by the Australian wool. He wanted the Australian unwashed wools put in a special class by themselves and subjected to the same tax as washed wools from other countries, which would amount to nearly 300 per cent ad volorem on the Australian product and would be prohibi­tory.

Theodore Justus, of Philadelphia, who rep­resented the manufacturers of weollen goods, dwelt on some of the weak points in the ar­gument of Judge Lawrence and threw some interesting light on the way the McKlnley bill was prepared. He showed that the rea­son why the manufacturers preferred the Australian wool and imported it In prefer­ence to using American wools was largely that the American farmers made a point of selling as much dirt as possible with their wool, while the Australian wool was much cleaner. t • i

The perplexities of "Stella" have been the perplexities of many an honest and deeply re­ligious soul groping for the truth. Devout leaders of Christian thought have long since solved this elementary stage of the problem, and more recently that deeper perplexity—the apparent Inconsistency between evolution and the doctine of fall, sin, pardon and redemo-tion. They are now the grateful debtors to sci­ence for the wonderful light that has begun to stream from it on some of the darkest prob­lems of society and individual life. "Stella" does not give u#. but clings to her faith; she Is seeking to understand newly discov­ered facts which seem to contradict the supposed facta on which that faith rested. Her perplexity Is due to a relic of the Puri­tan notion, which confounds truth and fact.

Truth is not merely a matter of Investiga­tion, but it is chiefly a matter of growth. It is not the "birthright of faith." but some of the supposed foundations o f ' t h a t faith that are attacked. This can neither harm nor ridicule religion. Religion b* simply the life of God in the soul of man; a personal consciousness of God.

The Cuban question was under considera­tion in the Senate to-day in the form of. the two resolutions offered yesterday by Mr. Call. The one calling on the Secretary of State for copies of the correspondence in the matter of Julio Sanguily. an American citizen con­demned by the Spanish authorities in Cuba to life Imprisonment in chains, was adopted. The other, a joint resolution instructing the President to demand Sanguily's immedi­ate release, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

In a speech Senator Call discussed the case of Charles Govin. The statements of the Spanish officials that Govln's death resulted from wounds received in battle were dis­credited and the assertion was repeated that Govin had been tied to a tree and cut in pieces with machetes by a squad of cavalry riding past.

The two cases, Mr. Call said, were types of what was occurring to hundreds of Ameri­can citizens in Cuba, and it only needed in­vestigation by the Senate to "take the cover off that scene of butchery "

As to a combination of European Powers against the United States, Mr. Call declared that there was no danger of such a thing, in view of the effect which it would have on the masses of the people in European countries.

morrow will publish a despatch from Madrid saying that the postponement of the usual Wednesday meeting of the Cabtoet imta Fri­day causes a great deal of uneasiness in the Spanish capital, and gave rise to rumors that a Ministerial crisis was imminent.

It is considered more likely, however, that General Weyler has been ordered to send to tk* Spanish government good n e w s ^ t any cost before the next meeting of the Cabinet.

Joseph A. Springer, United States Vice Consul General in Havana, arrived here yes­terday on the steamship Orizaba, of the Cuba and Mexican line. When seen last night at his home, No. 148 West Sixty-fourth street, he said.—

"The object of my visit to the United States is to enjoy rav usual vacatton. My visit Is in no way connected with official business. I will of course, later on. go to Washington to pay mv respects to the Secretary of State arid see my friends in the State Department."

In replv io questions, Mr. Springer said that he did not feel at liberty to state anything in reference to the present s late of affairs in Cuba.

Antonio Aguero, a member of the Havana Produce Exchange, arrived here yesterday by the steamer Orizaba from Havana. He was a resident of Guanabacoa, where, ac­cording to recent reports from Havana, atrocities were committed by the Spanish troops under Colonel Fondevlela.

Sefior Aguero, when seen yesterday at his home, No. 823 Park avenue, said:—

"The reports which reach the United States of the state of affairs in Guanabacoa are far from telling the whole truth. Colonel Fondevlela has Instituted a reign of terror at the place. His name is well known to the American press as that of the most blood­thirsty officer ot General Weyler's com­mand. IK- is a favorite of the Captain Gen-
