TO PETITION WASHINGTON Think Life and Property Will Be More Secure Under the Stars and Stripes than in an Island Repub- lic—Sngnsta‘s Plan. Matanzas, Cuba, via Key West,_Fla.. Oct. 19.—The business element here, in Havana and elsewhere seem to have concluded that the Madrid Government (war. 1 end the war by granting auton- can 10 Cuba, as among the autono- mists wlz o are loyalists there are not suflicient persons to hold public office. 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 be able to p1ese1ve peace and protect life and property from the lawless ele- ‘xmell 3. In view of this state of affairs\a num- be: of important merchants and sugar planters of Spanish origin, in conjunc- tion with several Cubans of promi- nence, have been holding secret meet- ings, and have been corresponding with 11.:ople in various parts of the island x-rith the object of ascertaining ‘the VISITS of the commercial and planting tommunity 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 of 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 form of 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- sulted Senor Montoro on the subject, is finding great difficulty in obtaining "Even the suggestion of names of au- tonomists to' fill offices. It would be imprudent, it is added, to give such of- fices to the party known as re'formists, as the more influential Spaniards hate them, and the adoption of such a policy would 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 propeity is far preferable to the establishment of a. new republic in Cuba. SURGEON-GEN ERAL DEAD. President’s Family Physician Just Appointed to Succeed 'I‘ryon. Washington, Oct. 19.—Medical Direc- tor Newton L. Bates, who was the pri- vate physician of the President and w ho was two weeks ago appointed° Sun geon— —General of the Navy, died at 9.15 o’clock yesterday morning. He had been ill for some time and took the oath of ofiice while in his bed. A fatal termination of his illness was not expected. His lndisposition 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 ‘Nhite House the physician was as- signed to duty there. When the Presi- dent and Mrs. McKinley heard of the sudden death of Dr. Bates they sent a. large bunch of roses to the house and "tire President sent a note of sympathy "to Mrs. Bates. It is practically assured that the va- .;ancy 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. KILEED IN A PRIZE FIGHT. Frank Kozewski Knocked Out Non: Bufiulo by Edward Voli.

He de- clares that there is no truth whatever in the statement. It was rumored that Lord Salisbury was tired or the exactions of the work and its effect upon his health. ' w: sun 11.. The People ofthe Norwalks -,Say We Are Right._ In the climate of sudden changes there plevails a disease, almost un- known in the old world, which has been called the Ame11can National Disease. Its manv for ms have various symptoms annoying alike to the suffei e1 and his associates. This disease is catarrh and bv millions it has i01 y ears been consid- e1 ed incu1 able. Many pretended ' ch1 es ’promised 1 elief—no time stated —only to disappoint the user after he had used enough to give the manufac- turers a good profit. They held out the p. om1se of a cure in the future, only to fail aftei many dollars had been spent. But there 15 a remedy that has 1e1ieved and cured millions of cases of catarrh, thousands of them right here in New England. The proprietors took many hundred iree patients in the Nor- walks to p1 ove to the people of these cities that California Catarrh Cure would instantly relieve and cure ca- tan 1 h surely and quickly. People from N01 walk, South Norwalk, and as far away as Stamford are giving their tes- t mony and it is all one way, California Catarrh Cure has triumphed. The Na- tional disease is no longer incurable. Catarrh, disagreeable and nauseating can be cured and has been cured right here in Norwalk. Note this endorsement and be doubt- ful no more. One of the people who got a bottle of California Catai rh Cure a; Plaisted’s Drug Store on December 38th, was Mrs. A. B. Freeman who lives at 8 Hanford place. After a thorough t1 ial, she says: “I have suf- fered a g1 eat deal with severe head- aches caused by catarr h, my head was stufied up and my throat also troubled me g1 eatly. I got a bottle of California Catai 1h Cu-uie at Plaisted’s Drug Store and it has helped me very much in evei 3* way; it has cleared my head and _:;eps it 0163.1. my throat is well and my headaches have gone for good.

(Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun.)

THE:1 step was taken without any demand from the operatives, but was expected after it was known that the big National mills had decided to go back to the 1893 schedule. The other big woolen mills also are expected to fall into line. In same instances the advance will be between 20 and 30 per tent. A Physician Accused of Murder.
