UNITED STATES WAS HER DELIVERER. A CUBAN MANIFESTO. The Provisional Council ¢f the Island Aims te Estab- lish a Permanent Republic—-Ameriean Imter- vention Gratefully Acknowledged. The provisional council of the (‘uban RepuRlic has issued the following lode eg praising the United States and declaring in favor of a republic: “We always felt confident that through our own perseverance Wwe would in the long run destroy Spanish domination; but we must acknowledge that an indefinite prolongation of the struggle would have annihilated the little that was left of our wealth and popuiation.

On the contrary, we feel that we should re- main as a nucleus and guide for those who have vested such power in us.” In conclusion the manifesto gives ii number of reasons why the proposed assembly should be convened and some government or another chosen, ‘‘not with the character of a government as vet, but as an official representation of those Cubans who fought against . Spain and of those who, in the citiex under Spain’s control and in foreign countries, have helped and supported them.’ THE ROUGH RIDERS. The Heroes of San Juan Mustered Out of Service. Cheers for Roosevelt. The camp of Roosevelt's rough riders at Montauk was crowded. Wednesday morning, Friends and relatives arrived by the score to spend with this unique band of fighters the last day in which the troopers were together. All was activity and before night the last man of the First United States volunteer cavalry was mustered out and departed for pastures new. Puesday night was given over to zwavety and celebration. Huge bon- fires were kept burning and hampers and boxes loaded with good things to eat and drink were brought forth. Four of Rosevelt’s rough riders ap- peared on the observation balcony of the stock exchange in New York Wed- nesday. Their presence immediately became known on the floor and a cheer went up from those who ‘saw them first.” Excitement prevailied for a few moments, until every man on the floor was looking in the direction of the heroes of Las Quasimas. One of the rough riders proposed three cheers for (ol. Roosevelt, and the response which came from every corner of the ex- change, was deafening. LONG CRUISE FOR THE TEXAS. Capt. Bigebee Will Command the Ehip on Her Way to Mznila. Officials of the Navy Department es- timate that the battleship Texas will beé able to reach Manila via the Suez (‘anal in about 27 days after leaving New York. The voyage may consume nieve time, however, as (Captain Sigs- bee will be told that he is not expected te make a record-breaking trip. Arrangements have already been completed for coaling on the way. The department has received assurances that none of the Powers will refuse coal under the provisions of the neu- trality laws. The United States has a large supply of coal in sterage at the entrance tu the canal, which was purchased by the 1'nited States Consul to prevent it fal- ling into the hands of Admiral Ca- mara. I'tace Commissioners Bail for Paris. I'he American Peace Commissioners left for Paris on the Campania last Saturday. In regard to the work of the commission the state department has issued the following statement: At the very outset it will be made clear to the Spanish commissioners that, ag’ in the case of the preliminary protocol, there can be no deviation from or modification of the demands made by the United States. The deci- sion arrived at by the President after a full consultation with the members of the commission subsequently re- ceived the cordial and unanimous ap- proval of the Cabinet at a meeting held Friday afternoon. More Worry for Bpain. It is expected that the Spanish peace cemmissioners will be appointed with- out delay. A painful impression has heen caused at Mad:id by a statement made by the Pals, saying the United States -intende to, degmand $20,000,000 in- dempity in behalf af "American citizens who have suffered through the insur- rection in Cuba.

Before leaving for Spain, Admiral Cervera, through the press, thanked the people of the United States for their generous treatment extended to- ward him and his companions. 1t has just been discovered that the cruiser Brooklyn was severely strained when she ran aground near Cuba a month ago. Three month's work in the dry dock will again place her in good condition. The three battleships which have just been contracted for have been assigned as follows: The Ohio to the Union iron waofks, of San Francisco: the Missouri to the Newport News (Company; the Maine to Cramp & Sons. of Philadel- phia.. The ships are to be built in 33 months. The latest estimate as to the disfri- bution of the prize money resulting from naval victorics follow: : Admiral Sampson, $100,000: Admiral Dewey, $9.000: Admiral Schley, $5,000; the captains in Sampson's fleet, each $£4.000: the captains in Dewey's fleet, each $2,000; the men on an average, $165.

The [United States transport will probably be compelled to return to the United States from Havana without discharging her cargo of pro- visions as the Marquis de Montoro, minister of finance, insists upon a duty or 360.000 being paid before the cargo can be discharged.

COMPELLED TO LEAVE. Archbishop Dosal Declares in Favor of Foreign Inter- vention - Religious Orders Quarrel Themselves Assembly Among in Session. In an interview at Manila with him by the correspondent of the Associat- ed Press, Archbishop Dozal of the Philippine islands said: "1 earnestly hope the {slands will not remain Spanish, because the rebels are now so strong that such a course wceuld inevitably cause an appalling bloodshed. The reconquest of the nat- ives is impossible until after years of the most cruel welfare.’ He also expressed the hope that the islands would not become absolutely independent, because it was certain that dissensions would occur which would result in incessant strife and a lapse into barbarism and the natural indolenceé of the tropical race. The cnly hope, the archbishop declared, was that a strong western power would intervene now. Delay was dan- gerous because the people are intox- icated, vain-glorious and restless. He said it was undeniable that the religious orders must go, because the whole people had determined to abol- ish them now that they were to render their retention. im- possible. He laid the chief blame upon the Dominicans, the orders, and next upon the Benedict- ines and Capuchians, which are of le:s importance. The Jesuits, Archbishop Doeozal says, are comparatively blame- less, He added that the rival orders quarrel among themselves, intrigue, act unworthy and slander their op- ponents, thus increasgng their general disfavor. The provincialez, who are approxim- ately equivalent to archdeacons, are mainly responsible. They are utterly bevond the control of the archbishop, who denies possessing much power. The total number of Spanish priests in the Philippines before the war was about 1,000 but lately every departing steamer has taken fifty or a hundred of them away, and now barely 500 re- main. A native priest privately stated to the correspondent that the reason the archbishop hopes for the expulsion of the friarly orders is that they have grown too powerful for him, and that he wishes to strengthen himself. Several responsible Spaniards said that they would refuse to remain in Manila if Spain was reinstated in the control of the islands. Many of the Spanish soldiers refuse to serve again, and Spanish officers are utterly dis- | gusted with the rottenness of Spain's government and prefer to become American subjects. The annexationists have a majority of 71 in the rational assembly, but the discussion of the subject has not been finished. The assembly unanmously resolved to reject the proposals of a joint Span- ish-American protectorate over the Philippine islands. COMMISSIONERS’ SALARIES, The Bum of $250,000 Placed to Their Credit at Paris— Big Transportation Bill. The peace commissioners and their secretaries and attaches who sailed Saturday on their way to Paris to n2g- otiate the treaty of peace with Spain, will not lack for pocket money. Funis to the amount of $250,000, it is under- stood, have been deposited to the credit of Judge Day in one of the Paris banks, and he has unlimited au- thority to draw more if that is not sufficient. The French government has placed the celebrated salon des ambassaceurs at the disposal of the commissicners as a place in which to hold their meet- ings. Despite this, however, it is said that the expenses of the commi s.cners and their staff will aniount to some- thing over $1,000 a day during their stay in Paris. Davis, Frye and Gray. who ars drawing salaries as United States sen- ators, will only receive their daily ex- penses. The same is true of all the minor attaches, each of whom is em- ployed ‘in one of the departments in Washington. The only men attached to the commission who will receive salaries for their services are Judge Day, the president of the commission, Whitelaw Reid and Mr. Moore, who resigned his place as assistant sec- retary of state to accompany th= com- mission as its secretary and councillor. Day and Reid will be given a fee of $25,000 each for their work on the com- mission, and Secretary Moore, upon whom much of the work of preparing the documents in the American case devolved, will receive $20,000. The item of transportation for the 35 persons in the party will amount to at The ccst of the entertain- will be $15,000 or $2),000.

Kingston, the Capital of St. Vineent, in the West Indies, Totally Destroyed -by a Cyclone. A boat from the island of St. Vincent, 100 miles west of Barbadoes, arrived at the island of Grenada and reports that St. Vincent has experienced the most violent and destfuctive cyclone ever known there. Kingston, the capital of St. Vincent, is totally destroyed. It is estimated that 300 Hves have been lost in that is- land and that 20,600 people are home- less, The bodies of the dead are being buried in trenches. Thousands are starving or being fed at the public ex- pense. The amount of property destroyed in St. Vincent cannot yet be estimated. Every small house is down and many large ones have been destroyed. The demolished buildings include churches, stores and almost all the state build- ings. Three large ships are ashore on the windward coast and many smaller vessels are stranded. Guadaloupe, the French island in the L2eward group, has experienced very heavy weather. Nineteen deaths are 1e- ported, and there have been <destruc- tive landslides. According to the latest reports from St. Lucia the storm which broke upon the Island of St. Vincent Sunday night developed almost unprecedented vio- ence, being accompanied by a tidal wave and tremendous rains. Numer- cus landslides were caused, and many houses, bridges and cocoa estates have been destroyed. People are flocking into Kingston, St. Vincent, from all the country round for shelter and food. Everywhere it appears that all the small buildings and many large ones were destroyed, and there is no doubt that the fatal- ities were numerous. A St. Vincent, British West Indies, cablegram says: The official reports reduce the number of deaths here dur- ing the hurricane... It was at first es- timated that 300 lives were lost, but it igs now believed the-number is consider- ably smaller. The exact figures are not obtainable. The ship Loanda and the bark Grace Lynwood were cast ashore here and wrecked. The British ship L.oanda, of 1,447 tons, Captain Dodge, was from Rio Janeiro, and the American bark Grace Lynwood, of 592 tons, Captain Gilley, was from New York for Port Spain. A Kingston, Jamaica cablegram says: The Governor of St. Vincent has cabled to the Governor of Jamaica imploring the latter to send prompt assistance to the sufferers. The destruction at Barbados was equal to that at St. Vincent. Barbados }resenting practically a flat surface, was completely swept by the vortex of the cyclone. The entire area of culti- vation was obliterated and a majority of buildings destroved. Two-thirds of the dense population of 160 to the square mile were rendered homeless. The distress is unparalleled in the history of the West Indies Outside relief is absolutely necessary.

Emperor Francis Joseph, Saturday morning, received the special represen- tatives of foreign sovereigns. The inhabitants of Vienna streamed in dense crowds toward the chapel of the Hofburg. and defiled before the casket containing the remains of the late empress. Smperor Francis Joseph, Prince Hohenlohe, the German imperial chan- cellor, and Baron von Buelow, (German minister for foreign affairs, received Emperor Willlam at the rail- road station. The emperors shook hands and kissed each other's cheek three times. They then proceeded to the church. where Emperor William deposited on the casket containing the remains of the late Empress of Austria a floral wreath which his majesty had brought from Germany. At 4 o'clock the tolling of bells an- nounced the starting of the procession. The route from the Hofburg to the in- significant church of the Capuchins vaults entomb the Hapsburgs is short that only a small proportion of the population was able to erowd in- to the adjoining streets, A large number of priests in canonicals met the procession at Augustine church and proceeded it to the church of the (Capuchins. The clergy there marched down the aisle before the coffin and united in intoning prayers which were also exquisitely chanted, during the service by the court choir. During the last prayer the coffin was lifted from the cata- falgue and the clergy, bearing torches, walked before it. Emperor Francis Joseph, attended by the highést officers of state, bearing wands, followed, The procession slowly passed from the sight of the congregation down a stone stalr- way to the vaults. After the last be- nediction had been pronounced in the vaults the mourners ascended and the high chamberlain handed the key of the vault to the Capuchin who is the guardian of the imperial mausoleum, Among the multitude of wreaths ac- cumulated in the Burg Palace was conspicuous a splendid structure of palm branches and White and red car- nations and gladiolas, draped with the Stars and Stripes. On two of the broad satin stripes is the inscripticn in gold: “From the President of the 1'nited States of America.
