Tho provisional council of the Cuban
Republic hns Issued tlic following
manifesto, praising the United States
and declaring In favor of a republic:
"We always felt confident that
through our own perseverance wo
would In the long run destroy Spanish
domination: but we must acknowledge
that an Indefinite prolongation of the
struggle would have annihilated llio
little that wan left of our wealth nnd
population. The entrance uion the
field of a powerful and decisive file tor,
upon which we have always rolled and
toward which the hearts of all Cubans
hnve always turned. has put an ond to
the horror of war, to the benefit of all
com erni'd.
'This prompt notation we must no
knowledge we would never hnve ob
tained. It l proper to acknowledge
the evident truth. That la the beat title
the United Btatea hna to our gratitude.
We were abandoned by the world, some
nations Ignoring us through selfishness,
others, Ignorant of our reul condition,
considering lis an obstinate anil un
governable people, because, we did not
accept the cajoleries and ttatterles
with which Spain trli (! to soothe our
Just anger.
"This was our sftuat:-:i wl.-:i fie
people of the United States, their gov
ernment and Congress, came to our
rescue and took upon their shoulders
the task of delivering us at mice from
an unbearable yoke, as our sufferings
could not be endured or permitted
longer. They have accomplished their
programme brilliantly. What Is more,
they have liberated In one way or an
other from the rule of Spain nil peoples
I'ppressed by her. The liberation Is de
'tlnlte and Irrevocable.' Spain has been
expelled from thla hemisphere. We are
grateful.
"It la now the duty of this council
to explain to the people of Cuba what
In Its opinion are our duties toward
the United Btatea and toward our
selves and what are the rules that
ought to direct our conduct.
"When, after a long struggle, the
I'nlted Stated Congress recognised the
right of the people of Cuba to be free
and 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
ha ve-nll along appreciated the fact
that "he majority of the people of Cu
ba are In agreement with our princip
les: for the motto of the United States
government has been the same as our
own absolute Independence for Culm.
I'nder these conditions the Americans
could not take a hostile attitude to
ward us or consider our authority Il
legitimate and harmful to the welfare
of I he Cuban people.
"These considerations have convinced
us that we should not dissolve, and
that the power we have received from
an assembly elected by the people un
der arm should not vanish. On the
contrary, we feel that we should re
main an a nucleus and guide for those
who have vested such power In us."
In oonelusfon the manifesto gives u
number of reasons why the proposed
assembly should be convened and some
ttovernment or another chosen, "not
with the character of a government n
yet, but as an official representation of
those Cuban who fought Hgnlnsl
Hpaln and of those who. In the cities
under Hpaln's control and In foreign
countries, have helped and supported
Jr.m."

In an Interview at Mnnlla with him
by the correspondent of the Assoelat
ed Press, Archbishop lvial of the
Philippine Island mid:
"I earnestly hope the Inlands will
not remain Spanish, because the rebels
are now no ntrong that nuch a course
weuld Inevitably cause an appalling
bloodshed. The reconquent of the nat
ives In Impossible until after year of
the mont cruel welfare."
He also expressed the hope that thn
Islands would not become abvolutly
Independent, bees use It wan certain
that dissensions would es-cur which
would result In Incessant strife and a
lapse Into barbarism and the natural
Indolence or the tropical race. The
e nly hope, the archbishop declared,
was that a strong western power
would Intervene now. It-lay win dan
gerous bte-ause the people are Intox
icated, vnln-glorloun and restless.
He said It was undeniable thnt the
religious onlein must go. because th;
whole people had detertnlned to abol
ish thi m now thnt they were
to render their retention. Im
possible. He Intel the chler
blame upon the Tieimlnlcnna, Augiistlns
and Franciscan Rece elans, the richest
euders, and next upon th. Benedict
ines and Capue'hlans, whle h are of lea
importance. Tho Jesuits. Archbishop
lieixnl says, are comparatively blame
less. He added that the rival orders
eiuarred among themselves. Intrigue,
art unworthy and slander their op
ponents, thus lncrea:t)ng their grneral
disfavor.
The ptovlnclale:;. who are approxim
ately equivalent to archdeacons, are
mainly responsible. They are utterly
beyond the control of the archbishop,
wbo denies possessing much power.
The total number of Spanish priests
In the Philippines before the war wan
about 1.000 but lately every departing
steamer has taken fifty eir n hundred
of them away, and now barely foil re
main. A native priest privately stated to
the correspondent that the reason the
archbishop hopes for the expulsion of
the friorly orders In that they have
grown too powerful feir him, and that
he wishes to strengthen himself.
Several responsible Spaniards said
that they would refuse to remain In
Manila If Spain wea reinstated In the
centred of the Islands. Many of the
Spanish soldiers refuse to nerve again,
and Spanish officers are utterly dis
gusted with the rottenness of Spain's
government and prefer to become
Ainerie an subjects.
Tho annexationists have a majority
of 71 In tho rational assembly, but the
dise-usslon of the subject hax not been
finished.
The assembly unnnmniisly resolved
to rejee't the proposals eif a Joint Span-Ish-Amerlean

People are flocking Into Kingston,
St. Vincent, from all the country round

The route from the Hofhurg to the In
significant church of the Capuchins
whose vaults entomb the Hapsburgs Is
so short that only a small proportion
of the population was able to crowd In

A Inrge number of priests In full
canonicals met the procession at the
Augustine church and proceeded with
It to the church of the Capuchins. The
clergy there marched down the aisle
before the eotlln and united In Intoning
prayers which were also exquisitely
chanted, during the seivlce by the
court choir. During the lust prayer
the coffin wa llfled from the cata
falque and the clergy, bearing torches,
walked before It. Emperor Francis
Joseph, attended by the highest officers
of slale, bearing wands, followed. The
procession slowly passed from the night
of the congregation down n stone stair
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 u(
the vault to the Capuchin who Is th
guardian of the Imperial mausoleum.

A report wa received by Oen. Law
ton, nt Santiago a few day ago, that
Gen. Maximo Gomes, tho Insurgent
cntnmnnder-ln-chlef, ha tendered his
resignation of the command of th
Cuban army to the Cuban government
at Camagucy, and that it ha been ac
cepted. Gomen, It appear ho been pr itt
Ing agalnnt the Cuban government's
yielding the control of thn affairs of
the Island to the Americans and the
explanation for resigning wa his dis
approval of "passive submission to
condition tending to the practical dis
crediting and rell-ement of tne Cuban
republic, an nuch, and the establishing
of the absolute dominion or the I nliej
State."
The Cuban at Santiago were much
excited by the report and there wa an
animated se-ene at the San Carlos club
when the matter wa discussed. The
report was disbelieved by many who
say that Gen. Gome' resignation at
thi time I utterly Improbable. Other,
however, any Gomes resents the put
ting or the Cuban army under the -authority
or the American generals, nnd
claims the Cubans should resist even
by rorce of arms If necessary.
Gens. Cebteco, Caitlilo. Pedro, l'ere
and other Insurgent lenders have
turned over their commands to Gen.
Law-ton.
Lieut. -Col. Rowan and Capt. Parker,
accompanied by Lieut -Gol. Carlo
Garcia, son of Oen. Garcia, and two
other Cuban otflern, arrived at San
tiago on horseback from Glbarn, on
the north coast. Col. Rowan wa sent
by Gen. Allies rrom Porto Hloo. He
will make observation In Cuba, geo
graphical, climatic and military, for
the government. He was fitted out
with gulden, horses and provisions by
the Cuban commander Ferl at Glbara,
and visited Holguln. whleh Is gar

among both Cubans and Spaniards In ,
the northern part of the island. Th-?
Spaniards entertained Col. Rowan and
hln Cuban companions hospitably.
The presence of Itobert P. Porter,
w ho Is In Havana on a special commis
sion from the United States govern
ment to study the financial and eco
nomic aspects of the situation, I re
garded with usplclon by the party to
free Cuba, as Indicating the establish
ment of an American policy of guard
ianship. Mr. Porter Is preparing a revision of
the Cuban tariff, which will probably
be protective of Cuban Industries, and
la acquainting himself with every de
tail of local taxation. In this work he
la assisted by a capable staff. For the
present hln efforts are only preliminary
as, until after the definite settlement
of pence, It will be Impossible to estab
lish the new regime.
But his efforts nnd Inquiries, taken
together with the announcement thnt
American troops will be sent later to
occupy the Island, whli'h had hitherto
been doubted by many, hnve had the
eftect of provoklnit protest from the
more rabid Cubans, who are holding
meetings and adopting resolutions
against "encroachment upon our rights
an cltlzenn of the free and Indep-ndent
republic of Cuba by the establishment
of nn American protectointe,"
