RUMOR IS BUSY
IN CUBAN AFFAIRS
A Reported Change o! Spanish Policy
Toward Cuba.
HOME RULE ALLOWED THE ISLAND
General Weyler to Be HccallcdTwo
Men Said to Have Been Named ia
Hit l'luceThe Third Commander
Sent Out to Crush Cuba Proves a
a failure.
New York, Nov. 20. The many ru
more received here during the past
few days from Madrid, to the eifect
that Captain General Weyler will Ijj
recalled from Cuba by the Spanish
government on account of his failure
to check the revolution, are conllrined
by a cablegram received In this city
last night from the Spanish metropolis,
by Seiior Jose Gulterrez, a Cuban ex
porter. According to this dispatch the ene
mies of General Weyler have succeed
ed in urging on the government the
necessity of sending to the island a
military commander who Is better
equipped to deal with the insurgents
than the present captain general, as
there has been much dissatisfaction
over General Weyler's failure.
If the present plans are carried out,
Spain will send to Cuba two men, one
as governor-general and the other as
lieutenant general. Both these offices
are now occupied by General Weyler.
Ex-Mlnlster of Colonies Maura, who
Is mentioned foy the first position. Is
a leading autonomist and author of
what Is known as the "Maura Plan."
General Pando, who was sent back to
Spain by Captain General Weyler upon
the latter s arrival In Cuba, is spoken
of for the office of lieutenant general.
"This step," said Senor Gulterres, "Is
taken for the purpose of conciliating
the members of the Autonomist party
in Cuba, with the hopes that there Is
still a chance to end the war by grant
ing to the Cubans home rule. This,
however, will not be accepted by the
Cubans, not even by the Autonomist
party, as they consider this concession
as coming too late, and, besides, the
party Is now almost disorganized, most
of its members having united with the
revolutionists."
GENERAL PANDO'S RECORD.
General Pando, who, the dispatch
says, will succeed Weyler as command
er of the Spanish army In Cuba, served
in this insurrection, as he did In the ten
years' war, but did not agree with his
superior as to the manner of conduct
ing the war. and nfter heated argu
ment General Weyler ordered him to
return to Spain. General Pando has
many influential friends in Spain,
however, who have since been secretly
working against General Weyler until
their aim seems at last to have met
with success.
"If the Spanish government takes
this action," said Minister Tomas Ks
trada Palma, "It will be not only an
admission by Spain that the revolution
has become very serious, but a direct
slap at General Weyler and his meth
ods of warfare. I do not believe, how
ever, that General Pando can accom
plish any more In Cuba than General
Weyler. He will be the third coni
mander Spain has sent to Cuba to
crush the Cuban arms, and as General
Martinez Campos, who was lenient
ami mild In his administration of the
affairs of the country, and Generul
Weyler, who has ruled with an iron
hand and resorted to the utmost cruel
ty to restore peace, have both proved
dismal failures, we have nothing to
feur from General Pando or any other
commander they might send."
PROMISES OP AUTONOMY.
About the new promises of autonomy
which Spain will probably make to the
Cubans through Senor Maura, the Cu
ban minister said:
"The time for home rule under Spain
hn passed, and not under any circum
stances will we consider such promise.
This war Is one for Independence, and
we Intend either to accomplish this or
right until we are exterminated. But
autonomy, never!"
!E KNIGHTS FOR SILVER.
A Solid Plank is Adopted at the Con
vention at Rochester Will Be Sub.
milled to Local Assemblies.
Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 20. The gen
eral assembly Knights of Labor had
a rather lively session this morning.
The recommendation of the general
master workman. Sovereign, were en
dorsed by the adoption of an addition
to plank seventeen of the preamble of
the order to read:
"And that gold and silver when so
issued, shall be by the free and unlim
ited coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1, re
gardless of the action of any other na
tion." The following resolutions, sent In by
District Assembly 41, of Maryland,
were adopted:
Where, It Is believed by many, and is
now a demonstrable fact, that the great
objection by the money power of the
country to the Democratic and People's
platforms in the recent campaign were
those nlanks which found their basis In
the sixteenth plank of the prunmble of the
Knight or i.iihor, ana wntcn piuna, in
brief, put the party in line with the peo
ple In opposition to the issuance of more
government bonds and favored the Issu
ance by the government ot oil necessary
medium of exehanKe direct to the people,
without the Intervention of the banks;
ami.
Whereas. The various chambers of com
merce ami boards of trade and banking
associations or every Klnu nave already
commenced their warfare on the currency
known as greenbacks and treasury notes,
with a vie to have them all retired and
an interest bearing bond issued therefore,
thereby leaving the circulating medium
of the people entirely under the control
of the national banks of the country;
therefore, be It
Resolved, That the general assembly of
ine ivnigms or j.auor m convention as
sembled denounce this attempt so soon
to be made to take from the irovernmpnt
of the people the sovereign right In the
present money and to pledge ourselves to
renewed eirorts to defeat this nefarious
scheme.
Resolved, That We call on the Deonle
everywhere to watch their representa
tives In congress and demand from them
such legislation as will continue the u
of nnd Issuance of government money In
preference to money of firlvate corpora
tions (banks) and the n"?erva tlon of the
people s sovereign rignts as enunciated by
Hamilton, Jefferson and Jackson.
The proposition to abolish the mileage
tax Imposed for the delegates to the
general assembly was defeated.
Copies of the new plank relating to
free silver will be sent to all the local
assemblies and each will act separately
upon it. A decision rendered to admit
to the general assembly representa
tives from isolated local assemblies of
one delegate for every 1,000 members
is important as there are In the Isolat
ed BRRfmhlln Ahnllt alvtv Ihniuanil
members. This will materially swell
the number of delegates to the general
assembly.
DR. CONATY SELECTED.
lie Will Succeed Bishop Kenne at the
Catholic I Diversity.
Baltimore. Md.. Nov. 20. The Sun
this morning publishes the following
special :
"Rome, Nov. 19. Rev. Dr. Thomas J.
Conaty, rector of the Church of the
Sacred Heart, Worcester, Mass., has
been appointed by the pope rector of
the Catholic university at Washington,
D. C, to succeed Bishop John J. Keane,
who resigned Sept. ?i. issue.
Worcester. Mass., Nov. 20. Dr. Con
aty was shown the Baltimore dispatch
this morning announcing his appoint
ment as rector of the Catholic uni
versity, but did not care to talk about
his appointment, because, he said, he
had not yet received and official notifi
cation and It would not be proper for
him to discuss any plans in advance.
He was grateful to the press and pub
lic for the many kind expressions
toward him and their show of confi
dence.
CANNOT BEAT B0YER.
Efforts of the Combine Will Be Fruit-
less Bottom Has Fallen Out of
the Countrymen's Campaign.
Harrlsburg. Nov. 20. The Patriot
says that the bottom seems to have
fallen out of the campaign against
Henry K. Boyer. of Philadelphia, for
speaker of the next house of represen
tatives. The efforts to form a combine
of country members against him has
failed and the chances are the move
ment will be abandoned long before
the Republican caucus Is held. Ben
jamin K. Focht. of Union, has Jumped
the combine and will support uoyer.
William C. Smith, of Bedford, is also
ready to ault because of the refusal
of his colleagues to promise his support.
Senator Quay's friends Here say jonn
R. Farr, of Lackawanna, will not have
the entire delegation from that county.
This leaves George Kunkel, of this
city; Ward R. Bliss, of Delaware, and
Herman North, McKean, In the fight.
Kunkel has been endorsed by the Dau
phin delegation, but there is doubt
as to whether John M. Heagy, of Steel
ton, will vote for him if he sees he has
no chances to win.
HARRISON'S ANSWER.
The Telephone Inventor Makes Serious
Charges Against Many Prom -inent
Politicians.
Chicago, Nov. 20. Edward M. Har
rison, the telephone Inventor, who was
made a defendant in the suit for a re
ceiver for the Harrison International
Telephone company, brought Oct. 6, by
two stockholders In the federal court
here, filed In court today a long an
swer, practically admitting all the
charges of fraud and wrecking and al
leging that he was alBo a victim of
the schemes of President L. K. Ingalls

rectors. Among them he names Uni
ted States Senator Stephen II. Elklns,
ex-Secretary of the Trensury Charles
Foster, George R. Peck, general counsel
of the St. Paul railroad; Congressman
William Warner, R. C. Kerens. Repub
lican national committeeman from Mis
souri, and Patrick Egan, ex-minister

been squandered by officers and direct
ors who voted large salaries to them
selves and money for mythical expen
ses. He Joins In the petition to have
the business wound up and the men
who fraudulently secured stock be or
dered to pay for it. He says all the
assets have been absorbed In the Inter
ests of tho officers and the stockholders
defrauded.

Hanford, who was the Standard Oil
representative in Chicago, killed him
self when he learned that he had In
vested $40,000 In worthless Bhnres of tho
company. Harrison chnrges lngalla
with falsifying the minutes of the May

READY FOR THE
FOOT BALL GAME
The Yale and Princeton Giants ia New
York City.
LARGE ATTENDANCE IS ASSURED
Admission Tickets Only Can Be Pro
curcdThe College Boys Will Par
alyse the Spectators with New Songs
and YcllsLine lTp of the Players.
New Ycrk, Nov. 20. With the last
finishing touches which were applied
this morning at New Haven and at
Princeton the work of the great arifiy
of coaches and trainers is done and the
result of the twenty-first annual strug
gle for the foot ball championship be
tween the elevens of Yale and Prince
ton lies in the brawn and sinew of the
men who will wear the blue of old jUI
and the orange and black of historic
Nassau. From 1876 to 185 the strug
gle has been waged every year, and
the scale of honor shows a lowering In
favor of the blue. The record reads
that Yale has won thirteen times to
Princeton's six, and that once, in 1SH1.
the balance was even, neither side hav
ing scored. It haa been more or less
the custom heretofore to prophecy on
the morning of the Yale-Princeton
game that the crowd would be greater
than was ever seen at the game before.
Whatever the case in previous years,
there is absolutely no doubt that, pro
vided the weather is suitable, the at
tendance at Manhattan field tomorrow
afternoon will far surpass anything be
fore recorded. This statement is based
upon the advance sale of tickets. Seats
on any of the stands are not to be had
In the regular channels and only a very
few are obtainable from speculators at
a. big advance. The capacity of the
field Is about 32,000, and the only tick
ets available against the rush tomor
row are 8.000 admissions which confer
standing room only.
The graduates and undergraduates of
both colleges have spared no pains to
make the contest a memorable one.
New songs and cheers have been re
hearsed at Princeton and Yale, and
the vocal efforts of the day are likuly
to astonish the spectators.
BOTH TEAMS ARRIVE.
Both teams and substitutes arrived
In the city this evening. The Yale
contingent are at the Plaza, as usual,
and the Tigers at the Murray Hill.
The Princeton "scrubs" accompanied
the 'Varsity as the guests of the man
agement. The men all appeared to be
In tine condition and there was an
air of confidence on both sides. The
followers of the orange and black seem
to think that the chances are In their
favor, and slight odds were obtain
able at the stock exchange today that
Princeton would win. But the bulk of
the betting was at even money, for
while Princeton's showing through the
season entitled them to a degree of
favoritism, the knowing ones kept In
mind the well remowibert Ni w Haven
"hard luck stories," which have been
always floated before the eventful hour,
but 'which somehow have with Just as
much pertinacity failed to materially
affect the playing of old Ell's sons at
the critical moment.
The gates will open at noon and
play will be called at 2 o'clock. Paul
Dashlcl, of Lehign, will again referee
the contest. The line-up will probably
be as follows:
Princeton. Position. Yale.

HARVARD-PENNSYLVANIA.
Preparations for the Great Struggle
to Take Place in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Nov. 20. Harvard and
Pennsylvania meet tomorrow on
Franklin field In their annual contest
on the gridiron and the struggle be
tween the two teams promises to be
one to the death. For almost the first
time this year Harvard will go upon
the field with Its full 'Varsitv team in
tact and In fairly good condition. Here
tofore at all games this year Harvard
has been unable for various reasons to
play Its full strength throughout the
game, but tomorrow when they line up
against the Quakers they will have the
strongest eleven they have had this
year.
Since Monday night the Pennsylvania
men have been drawing In life and
strength among the mountains around
the Delaware Water Gap. The team
came back from the Gap tonight and
were given a royal reception by their
fellow students. This afternoon the
students of Pennsylvania almost to a
man nssembled on the campus at the
university nnd 2,n0O strong, headed by
a brass band they marched to Broad
street station to meet the team. Near
ly every man carried the colors of
Pennsylvania, and when they massed
themselves upon the station platform
they made the big train shed ring with
their cheers and college song. When
the team alighted from the train ar
riving at 6.40 there was a wild rush of
enthusiastic students to greet them
and a platoon of police, which had been
stationed about the exit gates, was
swept away by the cheering, howling
mob of men who swarmed down upon
the players. It was only by main
strength that Captain Wharton and
his men forced their way through the
cheering mob, and, finally. In despair,
of reaching the street, the players scat
tered and made an individual run of
It to the street cars to take them to the
training house. After the escape of
the players the students reformed Into
ranks and marched to the Hotel Sten
ton, where they cheered for the Harv
ard team and then the procession took
up Its way to the university.
PENN VASTLY IMPROVED.
The Pennsylvania men looked
vastly Improved by their couple of
days' outing In the mountains and ev
ery man Is fit and ready to play to
morrow for his life. The followers of
Pennsylvania cannot see how their
team can lose, and few of them will
admit that, barring the fatal fumble
and block kick, which have created
such havoc with the Quakers' play this
year, that Harvard will even score. The
followers of Harvard are not so san
guine of victory as they might be, is
shown by the fact that they are de
manding odds of 2 to 1 In the betting.
Immense preparations have been
made for the game tomorrow, and the
stands Inclosing the gridiron at Frank
lin field with their seating capacity of
26.000, promise to be filled tomorrow
with people, for. If Philadelphia is true
to Us sporting instincts in any one
thing It Is in foot ball, and all Phlla
delphians are almost a unit In their
loyalty and partisanship to the wear
ers of the red and blue. The officials
for tomorrow's game will be Wyckoff,
of, Cornell, umpire, and Hlckok, of
Yale, referee. The line up of the two
teams, as they will in all likelihood ap
pear, follows:
Harvard. Position. Pennsylvania.

MR, BAYARD'S PLEASANT TALK.
He Waves the Olive Branch at Burn
Icy Mechanics' Institute.
London, Nov. 20. At a meeting to
night of the Burnley Mechanics' insti
tute the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, the
American ambassador, presented to the
winners the prizes that had been
awarded to them by the institute.
The corporation of Burnley presented
an address of welcome to Mr. Bayard,
In renly to which he said he represent
ed his country as a friend of Great Bri
tain. There was no imaginative cause.
Just or reasonable, for difference be
tween the people of Great Britain and
the United States. The same principles
were the bases of both governments.
TO BENEFIT WIDOWS.
The Pennsylvania Woman's Suffrage
Association Will Submit an Act
at Next Legislature.
Reading, Fa.. Nov. 20. The Pennsyl
vania Woman's Suffrage association
adjourned tonight. This afternoon of
ficers were elected: President, Mrs.
Lucretia I Blankenburg, of Philadel
phia; vice president, Mrs. Ellen H. E.
Price, Swarthmore; corresponding sec
retary, Mrs. Mary B. Luckie, of Ches
ter; recording secretary. Miss Olivia
C. Pvnnock, Lansdowne; treasurer,
Mrs. Margaret B. Stone, of Bradford.
Mrs. Blankenburg delivered her annu
al address. Among other things he
said:
If the husband fulls to make a will the
widow Is entitled to one-third of his and
her point personality absolutely, and the
Income of one-third of the real estate for
life. If there are no children, but collat
eral heirs, she Is entitled to the use of
one-half of the reality Including the man
sion house for her life, and one hulf the
personality absolutely. If the wife owns
property and fulls to make a will the
widower Is entitled to nil the personal
property and the use of all the reul estate
during his life.
Surely the Injustice of this law is so ap
parent that ull must be interested to sub
stitute a statute that will protect the
widow to the same degree) as the widower.
She then submitted to the conven
tion the act which will be sent to
the next legislature and urged all to
work for its passage. An act relating
to the share of the widow In the estate
of her deceased husband dying Inte
state: Be It enacted, etc., that the real and
personal estate of a decedent whin a
male, remaining after payment of debts
and legal charges, which shall not have
been sold nttd disposed of by will or otht-r-wise
limited by marriage settlement smtll
be divided and enjoyed as follows:
When such Intestate shall leave a widow
and issue the widow shall be entitled to a
life Interest In ull the renl estate and to
an equal share with child or children, of
the personal estate. If there be no Issue
surviving, the widow shall be entitled to
a life Interest In all the real estate and
the personul estate absolutely.
At the afternoon session memorial
services were held In honor of the
memory of Mrs. Mary Grow, the foun
der .of the Pennsylvania division.
NO DECISION REACHED.
Women's Temperance 1'nion Unable
to Locate the Next Convention.
St. Louis, Nov. 20. The general offi
cers of the Women's Christian Temper
ance union were unable to reach a
decision today fan the city In which the
next convention will be held and It
was decided to defor the selection un
til the ollicers held another meeting
next January.
The cause of rejecting most of the
Invitations is that the officers thought
it would be wise to select some pluce
near Toronto where the world's conven
tion will be held right after the nation
al convention, thus giving delegates an
opportunity to attend both gatherings.

HANNA DISCUSSES
THE SITUATION
Thinks the Republican Party WUI
Never Have Another Close Call
WILL BEGIN WORK OF EDUCATION
Bryan's Power Over the Working
men Is (ioaeSilvcr and Gold Will
Never Again Be the Issue ia Poli-ticsx-Mckinley's
Most Difficult
Problem.
Cleveland, Nov. 20. Chairman Han
na. of the Republican national com
mittee, had a conference here today
with F. W. Peck, of Chicago, in which
Mr. Hanna gave an Inkling of an ex
pression by President-elect McKinley
In his forthcoming message, outlined
the future policy of the Republican
organization' and discussed the last
campaign. This Interview, according to
Mr. Peck, Is as follows:
"The Republican party," said Mr.
Hanna to Mr. Peck, "will not have
such a close call again as it had in
the last campaign. The work of edu
cation is to be conducted strongly from
the present until the next presidential
election. The policy of the administra
tion will be In exploitation of the Ideas
thut will further advance the strength
of the Republican party.
"The one great power for Bryan was
the workingman. Bryan posed as their
friend and succeeded In getting them
practically in line for him. The tight
at the polls was not so much between
gold and silver as It was the fight of
the workingman against the man they
thought was the exponent of trusts
and monopolies.. They were led to be
lieve that McKinley was the candidate
of trusts, and to not mince matters,
was my candidate, and that I was
the head center of trusts. The Popo
crats very adroitly made me the whole
thing and called me the oppressor of
labor of course. I can stand this sort
of thing, but with McKinley it Is dif
ferent. 'The labor leaders here who are
friendly to me tell me that If we are to
be successful again we must counter
act this Impression, and that Is what
we propose to do.
"We cannot do anything with tho
farmers. They have left us, but we can
get the labor vote and we shall begin
now to direct It away from Mr, Bryan
and his party."
"How will Mr. Hanna do this?"
"Why he knows very well that some
thing more than mere assertion that
the Republican party Is the friend of
the workingman is necessary and na
tional legislation will be so handled
that It will be the best educator of the
people."

Mr. Hanna said further to Mr. Peck:
"The fight of silver against gold was
practically abandoned by the Demo
crats two weeks before the campaign
closed. It will never again be the main
issue that Is, silver as a political Issue
will never cut any more figure than
greenbacks. The one Idea must be to
instill into the heads of the men of the
cities that Republicanism Is better
than Popocraeyv Only let Mr. McKin
ley be Inaugurated president of the
United States and this will be done.
There must be an arrangement that
will r.trike the people at the right time.
McKinley will assume a dignified atti
tude If antagonized to all trusts and
monopolies. His inaugural speech will
breathe a spirit of nbhorence fur the
centralization of such power as Is to
day possessed by the trusts and then
we will expect the understanding of tho
people to do the rest for the following
three years.
"Four years hence will come the
next presidential election, with the oh-c.
tlon of a congress. Then, when the
punnc mind is attuned to the idea that
McKinley Is the enemy of trusts, we
snuu nave a tarlfT measure Introduced.
This measure will be closely Identified
with McKinley. On that we shall
make the presidential campaign of
1900. On the tariff agitation we shall
rely to win the battle.
"The gold Democrats will be with us
In lauo. Bourke Cockran said to me
when I was In New York that there
was no use of their fighting us. that
they could not flsht us successfully on
the tariff and that there were no other
points on which we and they differed.
The only thing left for them to tight
for was the name. That is true; that
class of Democracy which Is not of the
laboring element and not of the farm.
Is with us now and will be with us four
years from now."
Relative to matters concerning the
caomet, Mr. tlanna said:
"The most dilficult problem McKin
ley has Is the formation of his cabinet.
He Is a man who above ail things dis
likes to injure the feelings of any one.
There are so many men eligible and
who are friends of McKlnlcv that he
fears to appoint one man for fear oth
ers will feel aggrieved. That Is a qual
ity in him that attracts all men and
shows the big heart that lies within
him."
Karly this evening Mr. Peck went to
Canton to see President-elect McKin
ley, CHARGED WITH MURDER.
