Chicago, Sept. 30.-The Times Herald
this morning publishes personal letters
from seventy OF the editors OF great
newspapers In all parts of the United
States, the majority OF whom favor Il
short presidential campaign. The same
paper says:
''Tlie national committeeman who Will
soon meet and settle this question need
not 90 astray II they desire to record
the wishes of their constituents, the
people. If put TO test tomorrow, 90
per cent. of the voters would declare
for short campaign. The only oppo
sition comes from the professional poll
ticlans, the professional corruptionists
and their hired retainers. There are
not wanting signs that the people are
thoroughly tired and disguised with
the operations of these conspirators,
who WELD so potent MI influence In
shaping the policies of the national par
ties. II long campaign and It's ut.
tendnnt mlscries is forced on the coun.
try, the blame will be placed where II
belongs and the parties will suiferstlie

OF the seventy editors whose opinions
are given by the Times Herald, nearly
all favor campaign which shall no,
extend over more than two month";
| and while tw6-thirds'of tile writers *
press preference for September rs the
time for holding the national conven-
tons of both parties, many believe June
or July to be the proper months.
Murat Ilalstead says: "Cut the pres.
idcntlal term 10 two years and the cam
paigns will adjust themselves. and
what they lack in length will be made
up in frequency"

REBELLION IN CUBA GROWING.
Remarkable Progress Made During the
Past Few Months.

""s ~" AhShsh"s
New York. Sept. Gothic Worlds
correspondent In Cuba. who has Just WIS.,
tied the provinces OF Santa Clara and
Santiago. reports that the rebellion has
grown remarkably since he last visited
those sections. He says:
The claims of the Spanish press that
the rebellion was an uprising of blacks
are borne out by my observations.
There were on the first OF June about
5000 men In the field In Santiago. n
considerable number OF whom were I'M
armed. and four-flfths OF whom We're
negroes or men OF color.
There We're 4 few unorgnnized bands
prowling In the forests OF Puerto prin-
clpe awaiting leader.
The wealthy and fertile province OF
Santa Clara was subscrvlcnt to Span
lsh authority. excepting u number OF
discontinued people who had taken 10
the woods near Santa Spiritus. A
change has taken place. Antonio
Maceo has under his general command
5000 fairly armed followers.
outside the town and garrlsoned
ports held by Spanish troops, Maceo Is
the master OF the country throughout
the province.
The greatest change that has occurred
In Cuba since June Is apparent In tho
province OF Santa Clara. This il the
great sugar.growlng district and is the
principal source OF wealth Of the IL.
land.
There are nearly 1900 Insurgents In
the various groups In Santa Clara.
Many are not armed, however.

"In one respect Grant" said Colonel
McFall of st. Louis. who served WIFI
him before vicksburg, twas source OF
great worriment to the commanding
officers taking part in his COUNCILS OF
war;" quotes an exchange.
"This came from his reticence dtirihG
the councils and his prompt ind'yiduas
action afterward. Grant would sit ana
listen to all the others had to say, smok-
Ing his cigar and occasionally taking n
drink as this hospitable refreshments
might be passed around. Then, when
the talk was all over and every one mao
expressed his opinion as to what should
DO done, Grant would leave the tens
and 90 to Rawllns, his chief OF stan.
and begin issuing orders. No one knew
to what decision he had arrived and
they would have no idea what the next
movement was to be until their orders
were received"
