TO PETITION WASHINGTON
111111111: Idle and Property Will Be
More Secure Under the Stars and
ipel than in an Island Repubi
HQ—Sagutu’n Plan.
.Matanzas, Cuba, via. Key West, Fla...
19.—The business element here, in
Ivana and elsewhere seem to have
nullified that the Madrid Government
at end the war by granting auton-
only to Cuba, as among the autono-
mists ‘who are loyalists there are not
Meier“: persons to hold public oifice.
At least, that is the claim the conserva-
tiVe: Spaniards make. In addition, the
latter say that the autonomists, even it
they were placed in power, would not
lie able to preserve peace and protect
life and property. from the lawless ele-
ments.
In view of this state of affairs\a num-
ber of important merchants and sugar
anters of Spanish origin, in conjunc-
gun with several Cubans of promi-
nelnce, have been holding secret meet-
-ings, and have been cOrresponding with
people in various parts of the island
with 'the object of ascertaining the
views of the commercial and planting
community in Pinar del Rio, Havana,
Matanzas and Santa Clara as to the
future for Cuba, most likely to further '
their interests and those of the island
in general. It/is expected that the
majority of the replies received will be
favorable to annexation to the United
States, as the Washington Government
alone apparently is able to guarantee
peace and the protection of life and
property. As soon as it is ascertained
that the sentiment of the persons ap-
pealed to is in favor of annexation a
committee will be sent to the United
States with instructions to lay the case
of Cuba before business men cf promi-
nence and ask the latter to unite with
the business men'of Cuba in a-petition
to the Washington Government for an—
nexation. The failure of the conserva-
tives to suppress the insurrection by
force of arms, and the impossibility of
the liberals ending the war by estab-
lishing an autonomous formof govern-
ment will be pointed out.
The plan of Premier Sagasta to give
autonomy to Cuba, far from giving sat-
isfaction here, has greatly increased
the feeling of discontent The autono-
mist party, it is pointed out, exists only
in name, the actual majority of the au-
tonOmists being in the insurgent ranks,
and, with 'the exception possibly of
.Senor- Montoro and a few others, the
masses of that party are in sympathy
with the insurgents. Consequently the
Spanish Government, which has con-
suited Senor Montoro on the subject, is
finding great difficulty
even the suggestion of names of aua
tonomiststo fill offices. It would be
imprudent, it is added, to give such of- '
fices to the-party, known as reformists,
as'the more influential Spaniards hate
them, and the adoption of such a policy
smould mean rioting'and even worse;
besides, the masses of the resident
Spaniards are strongly anti-autono-
mists, and there is little or no prospect
of making them change their minds.
Recognizing the difficulty of the task
before Senor 'Sagasta, it is not regarded
as astonishing that the business com-
munity in Cuba is exchanging views on
the subject of annexation to the United
States, especially as a general uprising
of the Spanish elements is feared if the
Spanish Government persists in push-
ing its autonomist policy, business men
believing that autonomy is only the
first step towards independence, and
the feeling of the commercial classes
being that annexation and» the conse-
quent safeguards to life and property
is far preferable to the establishment of
a new republic in Cuba.
SURGEON-GENERAL DEAD.
President’s Fannily Physician Just
Appointed to Succeed 'l‘ryon.
Washington, Oct. 19.—Medical Direc-
tor Newton L’.‘ Bates, who was the pri-
vate physician of the President and
who was two weeks ago appointed Sur-
geon— —General of the Navy, died at 9.15
o’clock yesterday morning. He had.
been ill for seme time and took the
oath of office while in his bed.
A fatal termination of his illness was
not expected. ‘His indisposltion was
such, however, as to prevent him from
entering on the exercise of official du-
ties. Dr. Bates attended Mr McKinley
when he was in the House of Repre-
sentatiVes, and when he entered the
White House the physician was as-5
signedto duty there. When the Presi—
dent and Mrs. McKinley heard of the
sudden deathof Dr. Bates they sent a
large. bunch of roses to the house and
the President sent 'a note of sympathy
to Mrs. Bates.
It is practically assured that the va-
canCy caused by the death of Dr. Bates
will be filled by. the appointment of
Medical Director _Rufus, Tryon. Dr.
Tryon was Surgeon- General. for four
years prior to the appointment of Dr.
Bates.‘

SUPREME COURT DECISION.‘
The GOvernment Recovers "00,004
.. Acres of Land.
Washington. Oct. 19.—The long-pend-
ing controversy b'etWeen the United
\\ ay Compan)_.:ove_r- 700, 000 acres in land
in Southern California was decided yes-
terday in the Supreme Court in favor
of the United States, Mr. Justice Har-
lan announcing the opinion. The land
was. embraced in thegrant made to the
Atlantic & Pacific Railway Company
and identified by its map of definite lo-
cation, filed and accepted by the Inte~
rlor Department in 1872. The land was
also included within the limits of the
grant made to the Southern Pacific
Company, the two roads overlapping at
that point. The Southern Pacific Com-
pany claimed that the maps filed by the
Atlantic &. Pacific Company, were maps
of general route, not of definite loca-
tion; therefore that the forfeiture act
Of 1886 did not reach. and that they be-
came embraced within the Southern
Pacific grant by the failure of the At-
lantic & Pacific to perfect its title by
building the road. All these conten-
tions, Justice Harlan said, had been ad-
judicated and settled in favor of the
government‘by previous litigation be-
tWeen the parties, and the title Of the
government to the land was broadly
sustained. As tot-he lands Of the 280
individual defendants who had pur-
chased in good faith from the railway
company of lands already patented by
the Interior Department, the Supreme
Court gave the United States the right
to go into the-court below and prose—
cute its claims to a final decree.
REFUSED TO EXTBADITE GUERRA,
Secretary Sherman Says Offences He
Is Accused of Are Politic-111.
Washington, Oct. 19. ~—The attempt of
Galixio Garza to overthrow the Diaz
Government in 1892 was recalled yester-
day by the refusal of Secretary Sher-
man .to grant the request of the Mexi-
can authorities for the extradition of
lesus Guerra, one of Garza’s men.
Guerra was arrested in this country in
the year- of the insurrectionary move-
ment and confined in San Antonio. He
was accused of crimes other than politi-
:al, and held to await the action of the
Federal authorities. A United States
District Court released him on a writ
of habeas corpus, whereupon the Mexi-
can Government took the case to the
United States Supreme Court and se-
cured a reversal of the proceedings on
the ground that they were irregular.
The case then went back to the original
)n the action of the State Department.
Secretary Sherman's refusal was based
m the ground that the offences of
which Guerra were alleged to be guilty
were political, and that there was not
sumcient evidenceto support the non-
DOlitical charges.
KILLED BY AN APPLE.
Was in a Cyclis't‘s Pocket When He
‘ \V'as I’I‘hrown.
Bridgeport Ct., Oct. 19. —George Hall,
one of the best- knoWn cyclists in the
city, is lying dead at his home here to-
day. His death is a terrible warning
against the danger of carrying any
hard substance in one’s pocket when
wheeling or taking any other violent
exercise.
Hall was killed by an apple which he
carried in his breast pocket. He fell
from his wheel. The apple struck his
heart and he died almost instantly.
His death. is the strangest ever known
here. Every one is talking about it and
wondering at it, except the doctors.
They are fully aware of the dangers of
carrying hard objects about the body
in close proximity to a vital part. Med-
ical works record many cases of death
through such objects, the majority, as
in Hall’s case, being'the result of falls.
The danger is especially great in the
case of wheelmen, who are apt to tum-
ble heavily to the ground at any mo-
ment. A lead pencil in the vest pocket
is one of the most dangerous things
that can becarrled. If one falls on it
at a certain angle it is almost sure to
pierce the heartflor lungs, inflicting a
fatal wound. It is as dangerous when
carried in the trousers pocket.
Hall’s family are in great grief over
the accident. Hall Was only 18 years
old. , ~ '
AMERICAN INSOLENCE.
the Monroe Doctrine Is an
. Outrage.
(Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun.)
Leipzig, Oct.‘19.-—The Neuesten Nach-
.richten, in an article which purports
to, have been written by Prince Bis-
marck, incidentally'attacks the Mon-
roe doctrine as a piece of exceptional
insolence to the , remainder of the
world and an outrage on the other
American nations and European na-
tions- with interests on the American
continent., It adds:
”It would be analogous to this in-
stance'of American presumption if
Russia asserted in Europe or Great
.Britain in Asia similar pretensions on
those continents.”
‘ Big Increase in Wages.
Providence, R. 1., Oct. 19.—The man-
agers of the Riverside, W'eybosset
Manton and Lymansville mills an-
nounced yesterday that they would in-
:rease the wages of their operatives on
Dec. 1 to the basis of the schedule of
l893. This step was taken without any
demand from the operatives, but was
expected after-if was knewn that the
big National: mills had decided to' go
back to the 1893 schedule. The other
big woolen mills: alsoare-expected to
fall into line. In so me instances the
“dv'ince will be between 20 and 30 per
:ent.
