The deceased was a young man of fine
mind and pure character, dearly beloved
by his own family and highly respected by
a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
With his alert mind and excellent educa-
tional advantages, added to an upright
character, he seemed well equipped for
successful and useful life, the Opportuni
ties of which were rapidly opening to him.
He had the confidence of his employers, was
in responsible position. and expected
within few months to marry an estim t.ble
young lady living in the east, but all his
plans were broken when he became VIC
tim of la grippe. For months he struggled
against the disease, but 1t rapidly develo-
oped into the common sequel-consump
ton. Change Of climate was sought but
any benefit. The last few weeks of his life
full of WEAKNESS and pain. were greatly
comforted by loving mnistrations of the
home circle and by that higher and ten
derer ministration of peace which flowed
from his faith in God. He died in the joy
full confidence of a devout Christian. A
large number of friends attended his fun
eral on Monday afternoon. the 18th inst,
at the family residence on North Siche
street. Rev. j. b. Green of Asbury M. +.
church conducted the services, assisted by
Dean M. e. Phillips Of the University of
Southern California. Representatives Of
the Asbury Epworth league composed the
choir and former schoolmates from the
university acted as pail bearers. The fun
eral was at Evergreen cemetery.

LEADS TO DISBELIEF IN THE
.s REPORT SENT OUT
The Spanish Cabinet Decides to Pro-
hibit Any Organized Welcome
to Weyler-Havana Affairs
THEIR FAITH IN M'KINLEY
Associated Press Special Wire.


NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Discussing a
dispatch from Washington stating that
President McKinley's policy would be
to urge Cubans to accept autonomy,
Tomas Estrada Palma of the junta said:
'It is moral impossibility that the
president of great nation like this
should in any way uphold the hands of
Spain and help to crush us in our strug
gle for liberty.
''The idea is ridiculous. 1t cannot be.
The Cubans in Cuba and the Cubans in
America have the utpost faith in the
administration in Washington
e. G. Pierra said: "The story cannot
be true. The president. secretary of
state and the whole cabinet are too well
informed to adopt any Cuban policy.
Such talk is profitless."
WEYLER'S WELCOME.
MADRID. Nov 20.-Several of the
Spanish newspapers express regret at
the opposition of the government to Gen.
Weyler on the ground that 1t will create
a strong military party against auton-
Omy for Cuba. 1t is believed that Gen.
Weyler will choose to land at BARGE
Iona, foreseeng that the merchants with
Cuban interests will accord him an en-
thusiastic reception.
The subject of permitting demonstra-
tions in honor of Lieut.-Gen. Weyler, q
number of which have been planned, was
discussed at the cabinet council held
today and it was pointed out by Senor
Cullon, minister of foreign affairs, that
the Carlsts and socialists in Spain We're
making capital of the proposed demon
strations. The cabinet finally decided
to prohibit any organized welcome of
Gen. Weyler.
