NEW LIGHT ON CUBA,
Insurgents Close TO Havana Prob
ably True Reason for the Re
cent Sinking of the Span
ish Admiral and

Ship.
CHICAGO, Sept. PA special to
the Tribune from Havana, Septem-
Der 18th, says: EARNED parties of
revolutionists are already in the
province of MatanZas and actually
within seventy-five miles of the
city of Havana. OF greater i'm
portance is the reported advance
into the province of Matanzas. If,
as it is said, they have quantities
of arms and munitions of war
there concealed, and if they are
really advancing in force, crisis
is not far Off.
Yesterday morning at . o'clock,
while the. steamer Santa Barbara,
with the battalion of Tetuan, 1000
men, was waiting outside the har-
Dor, the government chief of po-
lice suddenly called in his inspec-
tors and chief officers and at 2:30
o'clock these, with endorsements
from the municipal police, went off
rapidly in many directions. Eigh-
.ty-five persons were arrested by
them within a few hours and are
now confined in the cells of Mora
castle. A rumor was soon flying
around that a great conspiracy
had been discovered and the mi
tial step was to have been an at
tack with dynamite on the Santa
Barbara or on the battalion. 1t is
said that documents duplicating
important personages have been
found. Also that large quantity
of concealed arms and munitions
of war had been seized. The sequel
to the arrests came at midnight,
when there was frightful accident
in the harbor. This accident was
nothing wore or less than the sink
ing of the Spanish schooner Beras-
tegui, in which forty-one lives
were lost. This terrible affair,
coming close on the heels of the
arrests, caused profound alarm.
While the official reports leave
little doubt that the collision was
accidental, nevertheless it is a
strange coincidence, at least. The
question is asked, how Mortera
should have been attempting to
enter the port, after it was closed I?
and there are those who say it was
better to send a Spanish cruiser
and admiral to the bottom than
even a troop ship.
HAVANA, Sept. 24.-Dispatches
received by officials here report the
defeat of 600 insurgents in the
mountains of Sebouical, between

TIDE LAND STREETS.

Tho opinion rendered by Corporation
Counsel Scott viii commend itself 10 the
lay mind as common sense view of the
subject of the conflicting plats of the tide
lands. Behind the whole question is the
extent to which the city has rendered it
self liable to those who have put up build
ings on tide lands i'm conformity with the
lines of streets as laid down by the city
council. If those parties have no right
as against the sovereignty OF the state. but
only qualified privilege, the city cannot
be held responsible either for damages
20 the pseudo-owners or for the vacation
OF streets prior 20 purchase OF the land
from the state. Mr., Scott has dealt at
considerable length with some questions
because OF the necessity Of replying to
those that were put 10 him: but he is jus
titled in the saving clause at the end of his
letter that some OF the questions arising
out OF the plating of these lands are
worthy OF great elaboration because of
their perpiexing character. 1t is doubtful
IL the city council could have any more
light thrown upon the subject than the at
torneys who have appeared before them
have already given: and It is fair infer
ence from Mr.. SCOTS letter that he has
gone as far as he cares to assume respon-
sibility for.
IL Is very important that there should
be no delay in settling doubts as 10 title
20 the tide lands. but IL would be folly 70
risk further complications. An ordinance
vacating certain streets to the extent that
they might be vacated without incurrihg
any liability to abutting owners might
meet the case where Il - notorious that
no opposition would coye from abutters
II all that those abuttcrs want is an assur-
ance that the city VIII in good faith re-
lluquish It's claims 20 the old streets pro
vi3ed that IL involves no liability for dam
ages. such an ordinance might answer the
purpose. or course. IL thereafter any OF
the abutters should change their mind
and set az claim for maintenance OF the
oil streets the ordinance would not be
worth the paper IL was written upon. but
tt could not be equitably attacked BY 9th

SEATTLE. TUESDAY. AUG. @.
sAyrs s7o 600 a YEAR.

Two years ago this city was In t'ir-
MOL. The Democratic administration had
kent things lively II was on the eve OF
the discovery of Erug's dcfalcation anu
the wire-pulllng. Jobbing and scheming
among some Of the officials eliminated IN
the moastrous sewer scandal toward the
close OF the year.
The Rennblicans were successful at the
ensuing election and it was made part
Of the trust reposed in them by the tax-
payers at that time that great reforms
should be effected. An entirely new set
of officers went in. Scarcely one of them
had ever held public office anywhere,
and no man was elected who was not
known then and is known now
10 be man OF integrity. In
some matters there has been a difference
in Judgment, and some men in their zeal
have severely criticised others. but not a
shade of suspicion of corruption has been
cast upon the administration.
Differences of opinion will always exist
until mems minds are all cast in the same
mold. by which time the brain viii be only

REMOVAL OF MINISTER DUN.
The Faithful Envoy Doomed Because


He is Thurman's Friend.
The ost-Intelligencer recently published
a dispatch from Washington City in re-
gard to the contemplated removal of Ed
win Dun, minister to Japan, and the APP
pointment to the place of Edward c. Wall,
Of Wisconsin. Eastern papers give the
reason for the impending change.
Minister Dun is an Ohio man and
throughout the Chinese-Japanese war he
did excellent work and seemed to please
the two governments involved far more
than did Minister DENLY. Mr.. Dun was
promoted from the ranks. He had been
secretary of the legation for some time
and his promotion was brought about by
peculiar circumstances, and these, 1t is
now said. will cause his dismissal. Soon
after Grover Cleveland was inaugurated
for the second time ex-Gov. Campbell and
young Allan Thurman. of Ohio. went
to Washington City to see the
president. In their interview they
stated that each had but one request to
make of the president. Ex-Gov. Campbell
wanted his secretary. Claude Meeker, ap-
pointed as consul to Bradford, England,
and this was the only request he would
make. Young Mr.. Thurman then said
that his father, 1.-THE old Roman" would
ask but one favor. and that was to have
Edwin Dun made minister to Japan.
The president told them to get the in
dorsement of Senator Brice, and this was
DONE and the appointments were made.
Allan G. Thurman kept his word and has
not asked for another thing, but the rela-
tons between the president and the
younger Thurman have changed within
two years, and the young man has started
on a crusade against the financial policy
poIicy Of the administration and Senator
Brice. and has said on the stump in Ohio
some very hard words against the presi-
dent.
All of these remarks, which have been
printed, have been carefully collected by
the friends Of the administration. and for
warded to the White House If there Is
anything the president hates it is to have
mean things said about him. He has al
WAYS put a black mark against the man
doing this. and now he has several against
young Thurman and is going to get his
revenge The reports seem 10 be well
founded that Minister Dun must go.
