It is the people at large and the ma
teriaI meats M OF Cuba that are to be
considered. The Cue, trreconcilables
say they will not accept this new law.
They do not point out Its defects or
suggest remedies. They simply decline
to accept it. Such men are out Of
court. They are not open to argument
or reason.
"There is another feature which
should be noted. For the first time the
government has said officially that
Spain will assume a part Of the debt
of Cuba. The payment of this debt Is
to be arranged by the cortes, but 1t is
to be on a basis satisfactory to both
parties"
Recurring to the legislative powers
which Cuba would enjoy, the minister
was asked if this was not qualified to
some extent by the right Of approval
reserved to the governor general In
certain cases.
ut will be found on examining the
new law" answered the minister, that
the governor general has this reserved
right only in three specific cases, While
the general rule Is that the laws go
into effect without reserve. Further
more, these three reservations are the
same as those given to the governor
general of Canada, or to any other
colonial executive. This will be found
to be the case by examining the Brit
ish-American act of 1867 already re-
ferred to. In short, there is nothing
unusual in these reservations in few
specific cases of a national character,
but it is the universal principle in the
constitutional government of colonies.
THAT honest investigation OF the new
law will show it's broad scope and ho-
eral provisions is shown by dispatcn

one of the most prominent Autono-
mists Of Cuba. He was elected as an
Autonomist to the cortes, but declined
owing to his hostility to the former
government. Lately he has been in
Paris, and now gives strong approval
of the home rule law"
The dispatch to the minister is as
follows:
1.-The Liberal prints statement OF G1berga
expressing his satisfaction in the new rule
and his confidence in It's success. In the
statement he makes a review of all the re-
forms finds complete and satisfactory the
tariff reforms whose period OF transition es-
tablished in the fortieth article does not

selves to the sympathy OF every good Au-
economist and that no thinking person can
doubt that Cuba enters In a new life or

ments, whereupun he was told the
documents referred to a divorce OF
Lord Nevill's sister Lady CoWley

WASHINGTON, Nov 29.-The atten-
ton of the department of state has
been formally directed to the friction
that has arisen between Germany and
Hayti as a result of the arrest by the
officials of the latter country Of half
blood named Lueders. While the de-
partment has been unofficially watch
ing the matter for some time past, 1t
was not until today tEct the case came
formally before it through the appear
ance there of Mr.. Leger, the minister
from Hayti to Washington. The min
lister came to consult Assistant Secre-
tary Day, and the attitude Of Germany
in the Lueders case was disguised The
intimation was given out at the state
department that our government so far
has gone only to the length of instruct
Ing Ambassador White at Berlin to
watch developments and keep his gov
eminent informed. He will lodge pro-
test only in the event of the perform
ance by Germany of some act that is
not consistent with justice and inter
national law; something that Is not
anticipated here. In other words, the
state department does not feel that 1t
has right to interpose as long as the
demands Of Germany for redress are
kept within the bounds of sound prac-
tice in international disputes, follow
ing in this the precedent set by the
last administration when it permitted
the landing of British troops at Corinto,
Nicaragua, to secure indemnity for the
i'll treatment of British consular Of
ffcers. 1t does not follow from this,
however, that the administration will
look with unconcern upon any harsh
and unjust measures that may be
sought to be put in force by Germany
towards the little island republic.
The Haytian minister states that the
republic is preparing for any eventual
ity, considering that it's honor is in
volved in the present trouble and that
it cannot yield to demonstrations of
force by g. powerful nation. The rim
lister says that Haytis ports are I'M
fortified and that the country has no
navy, but has an army of fair proper
TONS Naturally it could not expect to
contend against one of the most pow
erful nations on earth, but with the
honor of the republic at stake, he de-
clares, it would resist to the last and
would prefer to be crushed rather than
to yield to what it regards as an In
Justice. The Haytian authorities con-
slider that the Monroe doctrine applies
to the present case, and for that rea-
son expect that the people of the Unit
ed States will not approve the crush
ing of Hayti by powerful European
government, or that the authorities
here will not remain inactive If the
Monroe doctrine becomes involved.

MASSACRE OF INNoCENTs.
WeyIer Responsible for at Least
Million Deaths.

NEW YORK, Nov pa dispatch
to the World from Havana says: The
Worlds first figures of Cuba'S starVa-
ton were timidly moderate. they
showed the death of only 100000. But
every painful fact unearthed tends 10
prove them nearly double that num-
Der. When the grim returns are all III,
it is now almost certain that this CuD-
an massacre of the innocents Will
reach 4CO 900. And this awful number
does not include those killed in battle,
or the thousands and thousands of men
and children who died of exposure, dis
ease and massacre in the 'Managuas"
and swamps 1t now seems certain
that more than half million people,
for the most part loyal subjects or
Spain, have been killed by Spanish
war in Cuba.
A weeks trip through the provinces
of Havana. Matanzas and Santa Clara
has tended to make moderate this
tremendously extreme figure. The
figures of Spanish official reports show
but a part of the mortality. They only
give the number buried in consecrated
ground-they do not give that fully.
And, yet, these official ultra Spanish
reports of burial permits issued admit
that in the province of Santa cara
there have died and buried since Wey-
ler's fiat. 71.847 persons. The number
Of people for whose existence Weyler
is directly responsible is 1892 In
Santa Clara province. And OF these.
he has killed 1925, or over one--half
of them. Santa Clara has so far been
by far the least destitute of the provin-
ces. Tt has many cattle and not
very thick population. Between Its 50
per cent dead to Pinar del Rios admit
ted so per cent. are the provinces of
Matanzas and Havana with 60 and
70 per cent mortality respectively.
These percentages are established now
by the actual figures in some thirty
cities ard towns. Applied to the den
ser populations of their respective
provinces, the total deaths since Wey
ier's "bando" will foot up nearly a

VICTORY FOR KATzER.
Archiepiscopal Residence Is Not
Subject to Taxation.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. 29.-Archbishop
Katzer won a victory over the municipality
in his suit against the city of Milwaukee and
City Treasurer Milbrath to have the tax
levied against his official residence declared
illegal. Judge Fish, Of Racine, who occu-
pied the bench in place of Judge Johnson,
decided that the city had no right to tax
the diocesan residence. Archbishop Katzer
testified that the title was in his name. but
that he was not the owner. He held 1t as
trustee for the churches Of the diocese. If
he should for any reason leave the Office of
archbishop the property would pass to his
successor in trust and would not remain his
individual property. In case of his death it
would revert to the diocese and not pass to
his heirs. The property was used for the
residence Of church officials Of the diocese,
the archbishop said, and for the transaction
of the business of the diocese and for no
other purpose.
The contention of the attorneys for the
archbishop was that the property was church
property, and as such not taxable under the
state law. The city's representatives argued
that the property could not be considered
church property. The fact that the title was
in the name Of Archbishop Katzer was re-
lied on to show the taxable nature of the
property, and the further fact that the prop
erty has no church on it, and is not used
for religious meetings. The case is looked
on as a test of the right Of the cities and
towns of the state to tax the property &C.
cupied by the residences of bishops, and
the outcome was awaited with considerable
interest. The city is expected to appeal.
