DR.. Coneosta Explains the Policy Of tho
New Spanish Ministry.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October 2S-Dr.
Jose Congosto, who for a number of years
has been Spanish consul in Philadelphia,
and who was recently appointed secretary
general of Cuba. will sail for Havana on
the steamer Mexico, which leaves New
York on Saturday. Mr.. Congosto says
that the Plan of autonomy proposed by
Spain for Cuba will result in the terminal
ton of the war in a short time In
speaking on the subject DR.. Congosto
said:
IF this plan of autonomy had been put
into effect year ago. / think that the
revolution would soon thereafter have
been ended, and all the lives and proper
ty which have since been destroyed would
have been saved. OF course, there will
be considerable opposition to it in some
quarters, but believe that the insurgents
will soon. realize the best thing they can
do viii be to accept it.
Il believe in the elimination of all
harsh and arbitrary methods. The gov
erninS factor in my policy shall be iber-
atty and fairness toward everyone The
more lowly the person, the greater the
consideration with which he will be
treated by me and my attaches. l have
many friends among newspaper men in
this country and I hope to make friends
OF other American newspaper men in Gu
ba. All the information l possess which
can be consistently made public will be at
their disposal, and so far as / can prevent
it there shall be no more of that doghke
treatment which I am told has been ac-
corded some of them.
''1Nhe entire policy of the new govern
ment will be dominated by lberality and
fairness. The reforms to be instituted
are going TO be genuine in every feature
and the policy of harshness that has hith-
erto prevailed in the government of the
island viii be swept away without delay"
DR.. Congosto said. that the plan of au-
tonomy would probably be put into effect
IN Cuba in about a month

STORMED THE JAIL.
Two Murders Quickly Avenged by Mexicans
in Arizona


Two Murders Quickly Avenged by Mexicans
in Arizona.
CLIFTON, Ariz., October 2S.-At Mo-
renci, copper camp near Clifton, an in
offensive Mexican laborer was found. near
the Detroit smelters, bullet hole through
his neck and his head crushed to a pulp.
Juan MADEIRA, supposed to be one of the
Chacon gang that tried to capture the
town several months ago, was arrested
for the crime and placed in the camp jail.
Shortly after the arrest several hundred
Mexicans stormed the jail, broke down the
door and riddled MADEIRA with bullets
After the lynching a second murdered
Mexican was found on the trail toward
Duncan on the outskirts of Morenci. AS
the body had been given the same afro
cious treatment as the first one, there is
no doubt that both murders were the
work of the man lynched.

Charles e. Blayneys big extrava-
ganza success. "A Boy Wanted" in
terpreted by strong company of farce
comedy and vaudeville artists, will be
presented at the Opera House Tuesday.
November I'd. and is without doubt
the strongest and most successful at
traction now en- tour. "a Boy Wanted"
is conglOmeratiOn of farce comedy,
spectacular, comic opera, extravaganza
burlesque and vaudeville; in fact
everything combined to make one of
the most enjoyable of entertainments.
The success of this attraction the past
season was wonderful, and this season
is no ception-houses crowded.
Go-Won-Go Mohawk, the famous In
dian actress, who will produce a play
written by herself, 'Wep-Ton- No-Mah,"
at the Grand the first half of next
week, has returned from tour of Eng
land, where she was accorded a very
fiattering reception. The Sussex Daily
News says: THE drawing powers OF
"Wep-Ton-No-Mah" would appear to be
quite inexhaustible In fact, every time
Miss Mohawk and her American com
atre the more crowded seems the house
and the greater the enthusiasm The
house also was a highly appreciative
one, and not only did Miss Mohawk
meet with splendid reception on her
first entrance on horseback, but the
cheers were renewed with almost equal
vigor every time she appeared. The
piece went, it is true, in a way calcu-
lated to put any audience in the utmost
good humor."
The lecture of Prof Cummings, or
Boston, on ''The Passion Play" will
be given at the Carroll Club Auditor
ium this evening and all indications
point to large audience. Prof. Cum
mlngs, through a misunderstanding
did not arrive in Wheeling to give the
lecture last week, but tickets purchas-
ed for that date will be recognized to-
night. A musical programme will be
rendered in connection with the lee
ture.
The seating capacity of the Grand
Opera House was again tested last
night, when Vanity Fair" opened an
engagement of half week at that
popular theatre. When the merit of
the performance is taken into con-
sideration, it may be safe to say that
crowded houses will be the rule during
the remainder Of the week. The COM
pany had the audience alternately
laughing and applauding throughout
the evening, from the rise of the cur
tain on the rollicking burletta, Outing
of the Lambs" to the side-splitting
finale in THE Man From Ireland
The olio consists Of six of the strong
est vaudeville acts which have ever
been presented in a Wheeling theatre.
The Weston sisters made a pronounced
hit i'll their little bit of everything"
The parallel bar performance of Newell
and Sheycts is truly remarkable. Seats
for to-rights production of Vanity
Fair" are o. 81 at the box Office.

SUNDAY BICYCLE RACING.
President Potter Has Solution for the
Long Existing Trouble

Long EXISTING Trouble.
Chicago, October 2S.-Sunday racing,
which has rent in twain the Eastern
and Western realms of the League Of
American Wheelmen, may be effectu-
ally disposed of to the satisfaction of
all disputants if President Isaac B..
Potter,s idea is Endorsed at the next
national assembly.
The solution is in the nature of a
compromise by which the national or
ganization would go on record emphat-
ically against Sunday racing, which
would not in any way be sanctioned
at the national racing meets. District
option, however, which was so earn
estly contended for by the Pacific coast
contingent before it's secession, would
be in practical force, allowing the
members Of the national board to ex-
ert local option by securing the con-
sent of that official.

school Notes.

The second week of school has
brought number of new pupils.
Gullivers' Travels will be read in
the seventh grade. This will be ac-
companied by study of the authors
life and style.
The general condition of the school
building and grounds for the begin
ming of school was very good indeed
The janitor has spared no pains to
make everything look neat and cozy.
For the first eight days Of school
the temperature ranged from 20 to 80
degrees, making it exceedingly warm
for school work. The sudden change
necessitated fires IN all the rooms, and
the thermometer ranged about 30 de-
grees lower.
A bulletin board has been placed in
the lower hallway upon which will be
found weekly reports of the standing
of each room in department and at
tendance. II is found that it has al
ready been the means of improving
the school in both respects.
Some of the new books have arrived
and as result both teachers and pu-
pills will be spared much work in copy
ing. The class in beginning Latin is
still without books, but the work is ad-
yancing very well, as the lesson each
day has been placed on the board.
4 comparison Of our school building
with that Of other towns results most
favorably to Lamar. The ianItor's
work in lettering the doors of the diff
ferent rooms, in indicating the grades
and name of teacher over the door and
in placing a neatly executed directory
In the lower hallway adds materially
10 the appearance of the Railways.
The teachers met Friday after school
in their regular teachers meeting and
discussed matters pertaining to school
discipline. Programs Of study in the
different rooms were made a matter OF
special attention. 1t was found that
all tho teachers have prepared def
mite order of study and recitation.
These programs will now be placed in
all the rooms in form that will be
found convenient for both pupils and
teachers.
