been asked for advice in this matter and that he
piled the question was beyond his jurisdiction. Un-
doubtedly owners of slaves have the right to give
freedom to slaves despite laws enacted for the grad
ual abolition of slavery and the planters will make
arrangements with their slaves when ii is under
stood that that is the only way OF preventing great
calamites.
THE SANTIAGO REVOLT.
So long the movement of the negroes at San
tiago de Cuba remains isolated fact no worry great
importance must be attached to it, it is well
known that since the last insurrection only very
few negroes remained slaves in the neghborhood;
besides, sugar plantations very few thereabouts,
and the five plantations referred to were probably
the only ones which had regular number of slaves
1t would almost that outside of the island OF
Cuba. and especially in Spain, apprehensions OF
very serious events here much greater than
among persons living in the coantry. 1t is
true passions are up, but only to
certain degree among some Spaniards and
Cubans. The assassination at Colon of three ex-
chiefs of the late nsurrection created considerable
distrust and alarm. which were appeased by Captain
General Blanco giving his word of honor to other
exchiefs who began to fear for their own safety
that the perpetrators should be punished the
spot. They have. however. not yet been appre
hended AS general thing the better class of Cubans
desire to live in peace and harmony with the present
institutions, and great hopes may therefore be
entertained that the present excitement will not
outgrow the dictates of prudence.
INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITIONS.
People in the Vuelta Abajo region in tho province
of Pinar del Rio do not appear to apprehend any
serious occurrences. when they propose to open an
agricultural and industrial exhibition early next
year in the capital of the same name. This exhi
bition will be the first held on the island.
The building to be erected will cost $4,000.
gold. This amount is to be raised by
subscriptions, which coming in rapidly.
The latest news is that tho Eastern Depart
ment. comprising Santiago de Cuba, Manzanillo'
Holguin, Gibara and guantanamo. has been declared
in state Of war. and that up to this date twelve
Of plantations have accorded liberty to their
slaves. The rumor is very generally current here
that General Martinez Campos will Immediately
leave his post president Of the Spanish Cabinet
and return to this country; some persons even
expect to receive news by cable that he embarked
for Cuba tO-day.
