Havana, Sept. 16. The predominant
feature of the situation Is the feverish
and widespread anltatlon of the Cu
bans In favor the absolute tnrtepend
ence of the Island at ull costs. Mnnlfes
tos are being circulated Invitlutr the
co-operation of Spanish residents and
merchants to this end, and pointing out
that either annexation or an American
protectorate would mean death to all
trade with Spain In a couple of years.
General Maximo Gomez, who only a
fortnight ago gave expression to ex
tremely moderate views, counseling
harmony and patience, now expresses
himself as strongly In favor of "abso
lute Independence or nothing." Ho says
the Spanish element cannot afford to
delay uniting with the Cubans aa
"necessary basis for the establishment
of conditions that will forbid and pre-
vent the United States grabbing and
taking easy advantage of tho treasure
both Spaniards and Cubans have
fought for at an expense of rivers of
blood on each side."
General Gomez says, If report speaks
truly, that "those who fear Independ
ence belong to tho same family of
cowardly curs who lied from Havnna
at the first rumor of bombardment.'
These, he declares, nre, however,
minority; and, to quote him further,
"almost the entire Spanish population
remains, protecting their homes and
defying the dangers of war, and will
now remain to unite their efforts with
those of the Cuban party, working to
gether with the Cubans for the devel
opment of the Island and the return
of prosperity."
This violent Impetus given to the
agitation for Independence Is the re
Bult, apparently, of the nrrlvnl of Mr.
Porter and the examination he Is mak
ing Into tariffs, municipal taxation and
other matters of internal government
which the Cubans had expected to han
dle and administer themselves. Mr.
Porter's operations are viewed with
suspicion by an Important section of
the Cubans, who lceep on calling meet
ings and protesting against a "usurpa
tion of privileges purchased at such a
sacrifice." They Insist upon absolute
freedom, unrestrained liberty or a fight
to the death.
One reason why many Spaniards who
at first favored annexation have now
changed their opinion Is that they fear
the competition of American rivals ns
storekeepers, hotel managers and res
tauranteurs. They are afraid that the
Americans, Instead of coming to buy
out their establishments and stocks at
fabulous prices, based upon the old
Spanish duties, will open shops next
door, Import goods at low duties under
tho new regime, ruin their business
and reduce them to poverty.
Exactly the same spirit prevails
among tho planters, especially the
smaller ones, who had hoped to Bell at
good prices the old French and Bel
gian machinery, for which they paid
dear and Imported under excessive du
ties. They realize that the American
syndicates will bring Amerlcnn ma
chinery much cheaper and paying
practically no duties, establish a large
central market, close theirs and push
them to the wall.
The awakening of all such dreamers
to the reality of the future nature of
American competition causes then now
to shout loudly for Cuban Independ,
ence, under which they would expect to
enjoy the bleeBlngs of lenient laws,
without fear of active competition.
All thlB amounts practically to a si
lent admission of Cuba's Inability to of
fer, If left to herself, the guarantees of
stability that would Induce foreign cap
Hal to come here to develop the
Island's resources. The deductions seem
to be this: with Cuba Independent, no
foreign capital and no competition
with Cuba under American rule,
competition against which tho Cubans
would not have the energy or th'
power to succeed.
These questions are uppermost In
every mind, making for general un
easiness and discontent, preventing the
resumption of the normal tone of the
market and blockading trade and
traffic.
THE SECOND DISTRICT.
Morris Scliniiliu, ut Hurry Township, tliu
Kopuhllciiii Nominee.
Special to KvESiita Herald.
Girardvillo, Sopt. 10. The Second Legisla
tive district convention was held iu the
Palace thoatre this morniug, and the proceed
ings were in diroct contrast to the conven
tions previously hold this week by the
liepubllcaiis. Tho delegates wore In no
humor to do business by acclamation, and as
a result there was a contest on overy proposi
tion presented by the contending forces.
Neither Chairman Sbay nor his secretaries
put in an appeuranco, and tho bald-headed
statesman from Schuylkill Haven, who has
attended every convention this weok, was
conspicuous by his abseuco.
It was 10:35 wlion Harry Sallada, of Ash-
laud, mounted tho stngo and called fur
older, witli Charles Laubcnstcln and C. O.
Ilerkcrt, Esq , of the sumo town, and LI wood
Heister, as secretaries and tollers.
Immediately after tho roll was called thoro
was a contest for permanent chairman, tlio
nomlnoes being M. M. Dolaiiey, of Ashland,
and James H. Cooper, of Glrardville, tho
latter winning by a vote of 22 to 11. The
vote indicated tho nomination of Morris
Schwalm, of Taylorsvillc, Harry township.
as the numineo of tho convention, his friends
supporting Cooper for permanent chairman.
I hero were threo other candidates: James
O'llrion, of Ashland; Thomas McDonald,
(lirardville, and Charles Johnson, of Ash
land. Tho latter received but two votes and
McDonald's name did not go beforo tho con
vention, having withdrawn last night.
Klcction of vico presidents was dispensed
with, and tho chairman wanted similar
action iu reference to appointment of com
tnlttees on credentials and resolutions, but
Delegate Delanoy, of Ashland, would not
have it and wanted credentials examined to
ascertain 'how many Kopublicans were in
tho convention." Ho also ohjoctcd to the
adoption of tho platform of the county
convention iinle.s it was load to the coiivcn
tion, and took occasion to rap Uriimm on the
knuckles for his record in Congress. Tlio
chairman was evidontly "rattled" at this
stage, many delegates being on their feet and
demanding recognition. No ouo having

Is confined to his bed with a touch of
fever resulting lu part from the work

The general has been ailing for some

of fever. Yesterday tho fever symp
toms wero rather more marked, and
the physician who was called In In

and friends, and take a vacation at

A recess of 20 minutes was declared in

After the reading of the minutes Thomas

eight proporty owners in tho Fifth ward for
maintaining a public nuisance. He said he
would pay no tlno and costs until the borough
abates tho nuisance In front of his door, nd
mat lie will outer suit against tho borough if

Presidont McGuire said Council could tako
no action in the matter at the time, because
it was in tho hands of tho Chief l!nrL.s
Health Olllcer and Iiorough Solicitor, aud
none of the oilicers wero present.
Air. James moved that tho street r.i,ninilil

carried.

Tho finance committeo stated that Council
required $1,100 to pay tho bills laid over
from the meeting. To meet them Tax Col
lector Durko paid iu $1,000 aud Water Super
intendent Doll $250, leaving a deficiency of
$150.
The film nre committee was instructed to

notify tlism to meet Council next Tuesday
oveuing.
Tho lamp aud watch committee was in
structed to get bids and samples for chinchilla
c-fercoats for tho police.
Mr. Ctukley recommended that an arc
light be placed at tho cornor of Jardln and
Ccutro streets and Mr. Ilrounan recommended
that ono be placod at Klondike. Thcw
recommendations led to a lively discussion,
during which it transpired that sevoral ad
ditional lights aro required. Argument was
mailo that It was a poor time to talk about
ncroasing expenses when Council could not
meet tho bills ou tho table. Tho subject was
roppod.
Complaint that u tree ou the nromirtv
djoiuing tho north sido of tho borough
roporty is damaging tho roof aud sides of
the borough building. Referred to committee.
Mr. Dell, of tho water committee, said the
water was getting Bcarco at the Drandouvilla
uinplng statlonr Tho boilers at the station
are being put in order for the winter season.
A four inch pipe was extondod nine lengths
un Lloyd street.
In answer to questions Mr. Doll said tho
direct steel pipo lino is uot boiug used all the
timo. I horo is about three feet of water in
tho Fowlor's Dun reservoiraud that inquiries
lod to the information that it would cost
ibout $5,600 to make that reservoir water
tight with coucreto.
Mr. Murphy moved that tho water com
mitteo drain tho reservoir for an inspection
by Couucil aud citizons, and that tho com
mitteo give notlco through the newspapers
when it is ready for the inspection.
The question was asked what the boroush
wuuld do If tho resorvoir should bo drained
aud something should happen to tho diroct
pumping line at a time a fire should occur.
Mr. McGuire and othors thought Council
should make connection with the old water
company's plant to meet auy such cmorgency,
paying lor any water it may uso by meter
measurement. Mr. Shoemaker said there Is
a stroug sontimont iu tho town in favor of
such a connection as a safe guard against fires
at all times.
Mr, Murphy Dually withdrew his motion
and Mr. Harkins moved that the matter of
making connection with the old water com
pany's plant bo referred to tho water com
mitteo to ascertain what arrangemonts can
be made as to prico, etc., and report at Couu
cil'a meeting next Tuesday evening. This
motion was carried.
Mr. Doll said the water pipe line at Klon
dike ought to be extendod. There are
twenty-sevon families thore getting water
from their neighbors and tho borough is
thereby deprived of considerable revenue.
Mr. Jamos' motion that tho water com
mittee bring In an estimate of the cost at tho
meeting of Council to be held noxt Tuesday

No bills wero passed, on account of lack of

THE
Money Question !
Here it's a question of how
much or how little. No matter
how much coin you havo, you'll
find it has more purchasing power
with us than elsewhere. It is not
because your dollars contain more
metal for us, but because we are
satisfied with smaller tolls. It we
can't give you a fair equivalent we
don't want your money.
