COL. INGEnso11 FOR TRACY.

or . Municipal Campaign.

or . Municipal Campaign.
Boston. Oct. Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll 10 at
the Adams House to-niGht. A reporter found
him reading up the news of the campaign in
Greater New York. He said:
" am a square Republican. l always have
been, and l want the party to win in Now
York as everywhere else. Gen. Tracy is, |
know, a Republican of the old original stamp.
Why. I'd As soon question Gen. Tracy's Repub-
licanism as l would have Samuel ]. Tilden's
Democracy.
II notice that Seth Low says he is a Republi-
can, too, but l am not SO sure about that as he is.
! notice that these people are so eager for re-
form that they old not want to drag national
questions into an election for city officers.
1t sounds well enough to say this, but it Is
sound and nothing else. Nominate a candidate
for Mayor who was for Bryan and the gold men
will not support him. Put up a gold man and
their votes for some one else. Put up a free
trader and the protectiOnists will scratch
him and run q man who is identified with pro-
an thing to do with him. You cannot forget
national issues even in a municipal campaign. ,
9TH Republicans of Greater New York stand
by the organization. 1t is better to meet the
enemy and be squarely defeated than to com
init suicide like a coward. 1 do not know how
the election will result;
They are narrow.minded, fault-flnding bigots,
who spend their time abusing practical men. 1
hope Gen. Tracy will be elected. Perhaps the
Democratic split may put him in the Mayors
''There is nothing to choose between Judge
Van Wyck and Henry George. They are both
could be said.
"As for Mr.. Low. I don't know anything
nothing. no party, no idea, and the people OF
New York do not want him.

NUNEz WOULD BUY FREEDOM.
Tho General Speaks Favornbiy or tho Pinn to
Settle the War.


PnILADELruIA, Oct. 2.-The plan for the pur-
chase Of Cuba's freedom, published by THE Sun
this morning in a letter from Havana. has been
well received in this city by the Cuban patriots.
Not only do they believe that the project Is
practicable, but they are convinced also
that 1t is tho one desirable solution OF the
difficulty and that it would be acceptable
to many Of the soldiers in tho field and to
n strong party in the Government OF the ke-
public of Cuba. Tho leaders suspect that tho
sum of two hundred millions Is much in excess
OF the actual present value of the island, but
they think also that In the interests Of humanity
the expe diture even of such an enormous sum
would not be too great. Unless some such
peaccable adjustment be arrived at, Cubans gen
orally aver that the war must go on to the bitter
end.
The subject was thoroughly canyassed this
afternoon by Gen. Emilio Nunez, who for the
last ten days has been in constant consultation
with the JuntR leaders in New York. Gen.
NuneZ says:
II cannot see how the plan for the freedom of
Cuba, on the basis of a guarantee to Spain by
the United States OF an indemnity of $500, OO0,-
600 in cash, can be displeasing to any of tho
parties concerned, except in so far as the amount
of compensation TO Spain Is greatly in excess OF
the true value OF relics left by Weyler in the
course OF his campaign. Of destruction. The
United States could afford to back up the pro-
posal, because it would have the revenues Of
Cuba to guarantee reimbursement sooner or
later, and would reap the additional advantage
OF immediate improvement OF its trade relations
with the island.

PERIL OF THE DUBARRY.

Frederick Dubarry, which is anchored under
Peters Beach. The steamer was voyaging from
Boston to st. Augustine. Fla, for service on tho
st. Johns River. She met the gale off Ocean
Grove ana her pilot, who, it happened, is u
native of this city and familiar with the local
channels, brought her into shelter.
Those aboard her feared every minute that the
vessel would founder. The seas broke over her
low hull. repeatedly sweeping through her and
taking overheard everything movable. Oppo-
site Atlantic City Pilot Gaskill decided to take
a desperate chance and attempt the running Of
the gauntlet OF the breakers on the Atlantic
City bar. The white caps followed each other
in a smother and obliterated all indications OF
the channel.
Pilot Gaskin's knowledge OF tho locality is
what saved the vessel and the lives OF those
aboard. The steamer WAS but q plaything in
the breakers, and those ashore who watched the
perilous trip expected every minute to see her
become a wreck. A cheer arose when the steam
er passed safely into the harbor.
A barge attached to n tow was cut adrift this
morning opposite the Atlantic City light, and

Report OF the Commission on the British
West Indies.

West Indies.
Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON. Oct. 1.-The Government has issued
n Blue Book containing tho report of the West
India Royal Commission appointed TO investi-
gate the condition and prospects of tho British
sugar-gsowing colonies in tho West Indies.
The report refers to the competition in the
cultivation and manufacture of beet sugar and
the high protective tariffs. and regards those
causes of depression in the West Indies sugar
industry as permanent. Many sugar estates
to be given up.
The best immediate remedy, the commission
ers say, would be the abandonment OF the bounty
system by the continental nations, but they are
also Of the opinion that even IL tho bountics
should be abolished a crisis similar TO the one
now existing might again arise. A majority of
the commission do not support the proposal to
impose countervailing duties, but in this the
Chairman Of the commission, Sir Henry Nor
man, formerly Governor Of Jamaica, differs
with them. The following measures Of relief
are unanimously recommended:
The settlement in the West Indies sugar
growing colonies OF a laboring population upon
small plots of ground as peasant proprietors;
the establishment of minor agricultural indus
tries for the encouragement of trade in fruit
with New York and atterward with London, and
the improvement of the means of communica-
ton between the different islands,
The commissioners estimate the cost Of the
three remedies mentioned at ST. 900 a year for
ten years. to be borne by Great Britain. They
also recommend an imperial loan OF el2o 900
for the establishment OF central factories in the
island of Barbados. and advise a grant Of R30.-
900 TO the islands Of Dominica and Saint Vim
cent for the construction of roads and TO meet

mend IA grant OF $50. 900 to clear off the floating
