ALL QUIET AT HAVANA.
The “’ays Being (Ilezu'lrd {or the Occu-
pation of the. Is'nnd.
VVashlngton, Oct. 28.—Itl is said at
nothing disquieting in the situation a
Havana. The evacuation commission-
ers are meeting at intervals to suit
their convenience, and the needs of the
work in hand, Spanish troops are be-
ing shipped homeward and the ways
being cleared for .the occupation of
the island by the American garrison at
the end of the present year.
The attitude of the insurgents is not i
’51 cause for apprehension now more,
than it has been. and the officials are
confident that the sentiment of the
better element on the island of Cuba ,
will be effectual in securing for the.
United States officers who are charged
with the administration of the tempo- ,
rary government of Cuba, the cordial '
support of the vast majority of the
Cuban people.
It is conceivable that the end of the
war will find some bands of lawless
men, perhaps Spaniards as well as Cu-
bans, ravaging remote and unprotect-
ed districts, but this is an incident of
most wars, and even after our late
civil war trouble was encountered in
suppressing silch lawless elements.
GEN. KITCHEN ER TALKS.
Praises t'se Work of Major Mnrchand and
Hopes for Peace.
Paris, Oct. 28.——Genera1 Lord Kitch~
ener, of.Khartoum, who arrived here
Wednesday from Marseilles, left yes-
terday morning, arriving in London in -
the afternoon.
The Evenement publishes an inter-
view with General Kitchener, in which
the ritish officer is quoted as saying:
“I am only a soldier and am ignorant
of diplomacy, which is not my business.
I hope the diplomatists will succeed in
settling the difficulty-amicably. I can
only praise' the rench, particularly Mu-
jor Marchand, who received me at Fa-
shoda with cvharming cordiality. I
shall always retain a pleasant souvenir
of that reception.
“The situation is rightly regarded as
most critical; but I cannot approve of '
those who say war is the only solu-
tion. A calm, courteous discussion will
give a solution acceptable to both na—
tions.
plomacy and perhaps my opinion of
Major Marchand’s exploit may contrib—
ute to the result which we all de-
sire.”

No Part of the Cuban Debt Will
Be Assumed by America.
SPAIN GIVES UP AT LAST
It Had Been Feared That the Question of
I have entire confidence in di- .
i Cuban Debt Might Result in a Break-
ing 03' of Negotiations. The Cuban
Article of the Protocol Stands. Will be
Incorporated in Treaty Without Change
Paris, Oct. 28.—The Spanish govern-
ment, through the peace commission-
ers of Spain, has accepted the negative
view of the United States peace com—
missioners toward the proposed as-
Cuban debt. -
' The American
firmly, but courteously declined to as»
some for the United States the entire I
or joint responsibility for the Spanish
financial condition.
Senor Montero Rios, the president of
the Spanish commission, and his col-
leagues, with faithful insistence,
, sought another result, but they have
I failed. to attain it and have finally
I abandoned the effort and have agreed
that the Cuban article of the protocol
shall, without conditions, have a. place
in the ultimate treaty of peace.
The article as it stands in the proto-
col is substantially as follows:
I Article 1. Spain will renounce all
claim to all sovereignty over and all
I rights over the island of Cuba.
Article 2. Spain will cede to the
United States the island of Porto Rico
g and the other islands which are at
present under the sovereignty of Spain
in the Antilles, as well as an island in
the Ladrone Archipelago, to be chosen
; by the United States.
I Article 4. Spain will immediately
Ievacuate Cuba, Porto Rico and the
other islands now under Spanish'sov-
. ereignty in the Antilles. (Rest of arti-
cle relates to formation of evacuation
commission.)
, Though through several sessions the
. Spanish commissioners have had be-
' fore them the irrevocable presentation
1 of their American colleagues, it was not
until Monday that the Americans, from
I the outset of their refusal to accept
the Cuban debt, had meant exactly
. what they said.
I In spite of the fact that the Spanish
‘commissioners have had. as a back-
: ground of their efforts. doubts of sur-
; ceeding, their hope of so. doing has been
" so keen and their contention has been
so vigorously prosecuted that the final
!conviction of their inability to win
I their point brought to the Spaniards '
such a shock and depression that, con-
sistently with these dispatches at the
time, there were grave doubts as to the
continuance of the negotiations.
lfact that Senor Montero Rios, after
I Monday’s session, and on Tuesday last,
I would have resigned the presidency of
i the Spanish peace commission had he
not believed that his so«d‘oing might.
have grievously shaken, even if it had
I not unseated, Senor Sagasta’s govern-
. ment. .
From this standpoint, if for no other
reason, Senor Montero Rios retained
his position, and at W'ednesday’s ses-
sion, .acting- under the conviction ar-
rived: at on Monday, the Spaniards an-
nounced that they would forego furth-
er argument on the Cuban. debt, and
agreed that, practically in the terms
and absolutely in the spirit of the pro—
tocol, 'the article ’about Cuba should
go forward into the final treaty.
Thus Spain agrees to relinquish sov-
ereignty over and claim to Cuba with-
out other terms or conditions.
I The meeting of Wednesday, though
short, was long enough to yield these
ultimate conclusions, and to witness an
understanding that, at the joint session
which began at two o’clock yesterday
afternoon, a culmination of the de-
tails in relation to the matter should
' be had.
I All differences, if any existed, regard—
ing Porto Rico and the selection of the
island of Guam were also arranged by
mutual understanding and the commis-
sioners found themselves well nigh
touching the Philippine question, which
will be taken up next week.
Thus progress has been achieved and
the Spaniards have also ”learned to
know that the Americans purpose per—
fecting here a peace treaty if direct
methods, patient effort and painstaking:
consideration on their part can secure
that result.
It should be said that the adjust—
ment already accomplished will stand
ultimately, unless opposing views and
positions developed hereafter shall
bring to naught the efforts of the com-
missioncrs in the future and at the
same time nullify the results already
obtained.
Hay Says Negotiations Ara Satisfactory.
Washington, Oct. 28.——Secretary of
State John Hay is authority for the
statement that there is nothing start—
ling in the reported cabinet meeting
,held in Philadelphia Wednesday night.
In the first place, Secretary Hay says
there have been no sensational devel—
opments in connection with the peace
commission’s work at Paris. The com-
mission is proceeding with its work as
expeditiously as the Spanish commis-
sion will permit. Several routine dis—
patches were received at the depart—
ment from Mr. Day, which Mr. Hay
thought the president ought to have in
extenso. Accordingly Mr. Keller was
designated to be the bearer of them to
Philadelphia. They related entirely to
the proceedings of the commission, and
a dispatch received from Commission—
er Day states that the commission is
making satisfactory progress.
The Bisnlalck’s Quick Trip.
New York, Oct. 28.-—Agent Emil L.
burg-American line, received ‘a. cable
from Cherbourg yesterday announcing
the arrival there at 2.35 of the steamer
Fuerst Bismarck, after a record break—
ing trip from Sandy Hook. -
The steamer cleared Sandy Hook
lightship [at 11.20 last Thursday. Her
run from port to port was six days, ten
hours and fifteen minutes, the fastest
time ever made between the two bar—
bors.
The former best record was six days,
ten hours and forty-five minutes, which
was aha held by the Rismarck. -

Chicago, Oct. 2S2.-—-A special to he
Times-Herald from Madison, 111., says:
“I reiterate that I will not tolerate
this wholesale importation of foreign-
ers into Illinois. And if I hear that a
mob is to be brought into this state,
such as was taken into Virden, I care
not on what railroad it comes, or for
whom, I will meet it at the state line
and shoot it to pieces with Gatling
guns.” .
. So declared Governor Tanner in a
speech delivered before twelve hun-
dred auditors gathered at the Knights
of Pythias hall in this city.
It was. the concluding statement in
an address largely devoted to defence
of his course in the recent mine riots
at Virden.
The governor reviewed at great
length the'causes leading up to the ri-
oting.‘ He held the operators at fault
in their dealings with the strikers, and
crisis came, said:
“When the United States government
found it necessary and deemed it jusc
to forbid the importation of foreign
labor into this country I felt that I
was fully justified in the course I took
at Virden. That trouble never would
have occurred if the negroes had not
been brought here to take the placcs
of white men.
“The importations were representa-
tives of the scum of the country—ex-
convicts and worthless characters gen—'
erally~and the state of Illinois should
not be made a dumping ground for
such reprobaten. I do not propose to
allow the operators to bring these peo-
ple here, ande took what I considered
and still consider the proper means to
prevent it.”
Harvard Landmark Doomed,
5 Cambridge, Mass.,- Oct. 28.——The city
of Cambridge and Harvard University
. will shortly lose one of the most inter-
esting landmarks that they possess.
The Unitarian church, on the west side
of Harvard square, will be torn down
within the next year and a new one
put up in its stead. The First Unita-
rian church in Cambridge was built
in 1756 on the spot now occupied by
Dane Hall. Harvard College paid one-
seventh of the expense, and in conse-
quence was permitted to hold its rc-
‘ligious and commencement exercises
‘ there, and did so for more than seventy
years. .
The present building was completed
in 1833, and the original church was
then torn down.» _
It was in the present church that the
two hundredth anniversary of the
foundation of Harvard College was
celebrated.
A building committee, of which Pres-
ident Eliot is the head. has already
collected two—thirds of the funds neces-
sary for the erection of the proposed
. church.

The objects that suffered most were
the lake shore promenadcs and walls.
:Lincoln Park suffered most in this re-
spect. It will require $35,000 to replace
its wrecked ways.
' An indication of the fury of th::
storm is shown by the fact that the
