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. The entrance upen

upon which we have always relied and
toward which the hearts of all Cubans

concerned.
“This prompt solution we must

tained. It is proper to acknowledge

the evident truth. That is the best title |

the United States has to our gratitude.
We were abandoned by the world, some
nations ignoring us through selfishness,
others, ignorant of our real condition,
considering us an obstinate and un-
governable people, because we did not
accept the cajoleries and
with which Spain tried to
just anger.

grateful.
“It is now the duty of this
to explain to the people of Cuba what
in its opinion are our duties toward
the United States and toward
selves and what are the rules
ought to direct our conduct.
“When, after a long struggle, the
I 'nited States Congress recognized the
right of the people ef Cuba to be free
»nd independent and ordered the
Spanish forces to withdraw from the
island no Cuban government was re-
cognized; but the one we had consti-
tuted, though not recognized, was not
opposed, and has not been opposed.
“The people of the United States
have all along appreciated the fact
that the majority of the people of Cu-
ba are in agreement with our princip-
Jes: for the motto of the United States
government has been the same as our
own--absolute independence for Cuba.
1'nder these conditions the Americans
could not take a hostile attitude to-
ward ug or consider our authority il-
legitimate and harmful to the welfare
of the Cuban people.
“These considerations have convinced
us that we should not dissolve, and
ihat the powers we have received from
an assembly elected by the people un-
der arms showld not vanish. 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

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.

THREE HUNDRED DEAD.
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

A report was received by Gen. Law-

Gen. Maximo Gomez, the insurgent
dommander-in-chief, has tendered his
resignation of the command of the
Cuban army to the Cuban government
at Camaguey, and that 1t has been ac-
cepted.
‘Gomez, it appears has

yielding the control of the affairs of
the island to the Americans and the

Mr. Porter is preparing a revision of
the Cuban tariff, which will probably
be protective of Cuban industries. and
is acquainting himself with every de-
tail of local taxation. In this work he
is assisted by-a capable staff. For the
present his efforts are only preliminary

of peace, it will be impossible to estab-
lish the new regime.
But his efforts and inquiries, taken
