TIE CUBAN QUESTION.
It Will Come Up for Consideration at
a Cabinet Meeting.
The Note Carried to Spain May be
Given Publicity Before Being Pre-
sented by Gen. Woodford The
Reasons Assigned by the Admin
istration for Intervention.

New York, September ia special
to the Herald from Washington says:
During the week the Cuban question
is likely to come sharply to the front.
Mr.. Woodford is expected to present
his credentials to the queen regent to-
day. Whether or not he presents also
the Cuban note which he carried with
him from Washington depends wholly
upon Gen. Woodford himself. The time
at which the note is to be presented
was left to his discretion, the Presi-
dent believing that Gen. Woodford
would be much better able to judge of
the timeliness of that action than the
government here in Washington.
President Mckinley is expected to re-
turn to the capital to-day, and a cab
met meeting will be held Tuesday. One
question which is to be decided is as
to whether or not the context of the
note to Spain shall be given to the
public Immediately after its presenta-
whether it shall be held to await the
reply of Spain. Not wishing to have
the communication appear in a frag-
mentary way, several of the Presidents
advisers favor immediate publication
in case no good reasons appear for
taking a contrary course. The note
which Mr.. Woodford is to present to
the Spanish government was prepared
by President Mckinley and Assistant
Secretary of State Day and read to the
full cabinet. It's chief significance is
that the United States asks to be con-
sidered party to the settlement Of the
Cuban question.
The long continuance of the war in
Cuba, the destruction of property and
of commerce, the manner in which the
interests of the United States have suf-
fered, the large number of American
citizens involved, the constant anxiety
and expense caused the United States
government in maintaining it's attitude
as friendly power, and, above all, the
distress inflicted upon hundreds of
thousands of peaceful people, are~given
as reasons why the United States takes
this step. Mention is made of the
large number of claims of American
citizens against Spain and President
Cleveland's warning in his last annual
message that unless better conditions
were soon to come in Cuba it would
be necessary for the United States to
interfere in behalf of commerce and
humanity is cited, the note expressing
the Presidents great desire to continue
the friendly relations between the two
nations and his hope is that Spain Will
accept the aid of the United States in
bringing the war to an end The Pres
ldent expresses his willingness to CO.
operate with the Spanish government
IN every proper way in restoring peace.

WHEELING REGISTER TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER "A. 1897

al visit to the various towns would
have been excellent had the Board of
Health here not been compelled yes
terday to officially announce the ex-
istence of seven cases Of yellow fever
in New Orleans. This morning every
town Of Importance is guaranteed
against New Orleans.
DIR. John Guiteras, the Philadelphia
medical expert, who has been sent by
the government to the yellow fever
district, has frequently served in
similar capacity. He is probably the
most experienced fighter Of the disease
in the country. He is Uncle Sans
yellow fever doctor and is called in
when yellow jack breaks out in any
part Of Columbia's household. The or
ganization and control of the quaran-
tine are generally put in charge of an
officer from the United States Marine
Hospital, and this official must neces-
sarily be physician. For making an
expert diagnosis and prescribing gen.
eral courses Of treatment, however,
the government wants the best medi-
cal talent to be had, and so DR., Quit
eras is summoned.
When the yellow fever epidemic
ragged in Key West and vicinity, in
1897 DR.. Guiteras was in command of
the attack and won high praises by
his successful work at that time. A
year later he combatted the epidemic
at Jacksonville, and in 1892 he con-
Quoted the campaign in Brunswick,
Ga. He was also employed by the
government to make a tour of inspec-
ton of the South in 1894 as a precau-
tionary measure against the possible
outbreak of the disease. This tour he
repeated in the summer of 1895.

the Debs Social Democracy.

Chicago, September 13.-Meetinss
of the various branches of the newly
organized Social Democracy were
held last night to discuss the Halle
ton tragedy, and some decidedly lurid
language was INDUCED in by the
speakers. Resolutions were passed by
Branch No. 2, which contained the
following:
''The blood of an idle and useless
aristocracy is the most convenient me-
dunn for nourishing the tree of lib
erty. An eye for an eye and a tooth

and wounded a millionaire should be
treated in the same manner.
"The millionaire class is responsible
for the slaughter of September 10, and
we regard the torch as the most sue
cessful weapon to WELD against
them
Fitzgerald Murphy, president of
Branch No. 2, made a speech in which
he said: "The miners should carry
arms and use them, too. The time has
come to meet force with force. I
should have told them to shoot to
kill. I would kill twenty millionaires
to-day"
Strong condemnatory resolutions
were also passed by Branch No. l.
and some speeches made. T. P. Quinn
said: 81 will not carry a musket: 7

1t is now said that this custom Of

THE MOQUIS NEW YEAR.


a Mythical Drama Acted to Placate the
Enemy Of the SUN.
The Moqui New Years celebration,
called So-yal-u-na, is largely presen-
tation Of singular and elaborate mythic
drama, divided into two parts, in which
offerings are made to effigies Of the great
plume headed serpent, the enemy of
the sun, followed by a sun dance, in
which the conflict between the sun and
the inferior hostile gods is admirably
portrayed by Moqui men personifying
the various deities
This celebration is primarily per-
formed by warriors and commentaries
the return Of the sun from the winter
solstice. In other words, the Moqui woe
fully fear, when they see the sun going
farther and farther to the southwark
each day, that he is going to desert
them and leave them alone upon their
cold, weary. sand blown mesas. One
wonders little that in this dread situa-
tion they have initiated profound and
mystic rites with view to propitiating
the evil one who would harm their
dearly beloved eternal fire.
Day by day the old men and seers Of
the tribe watch each morning the point
at which the sun rises from the eastern
horizon Of the pinnacled and ragged
mountain range. They have found q
particular notch between two peaks,
past which the sun does not travel in its
southern march, but instead IL stops
and returns over its long and dreary
trail to bring ultimately the spring, the
butterflies, and, most precious OF all. the
corn-their staff Of life.
AS the sun nears its lowest notch
preparations for the rite which concili-
ates the suns worst enemy-the snake
demon-are well under way. Tomor-
row, in weird subterranean cavern
called an estufa, or kiva, it is declared
that the baneful serpent shall be amply
placated. So rich will be the tribute
that for one entire year the sun shall be
free from his prosecutions and the
clouds, too. which the snake wickedly
swallows, shall gather and their mois-
ture freely descend upon the parched
and blighted land until il is once more
clothed in verdure. New York Herald.
