NEW YORK. n. Y, Oct. S.-The Wash
ington respondent of The Herald says:
President Mckinley and his Cabinet thor
oughly discussed the Cuban question in
all its phases to-day, and it is the consen-
sus of opinion that the Sagasta Ministry
should inaugurate reforms in Cuba with
out waiting for action by the new Cortes,
which will not assemble before March.
Otherwise the administration will be
forced to act. l am able to state this on
high authority
The advisability OF providing protection
for the American consulate in Havana
and the necessity of obtaining rom Senior
Sagasta action in Cuba were the principal
themes of discussion, but, other than the
conclusion that something should be done
without delay by Segasta, there WAS no
important development.
The authorities are of the opinion tha
Spain is simply following out her usual
policy of delay.
After the Cabinet meeting an officer
with whom talked carefully went over
the situation with me. Tie administra-
ton, l understand, has not received from
Minister Woodford any advices since the
receipt of his cable announcing the forma-
ton of a new Ministry. 1t has at hand.
however, complete reports from him as to
his opinion on the situation in Spain.
Minister Woodford does not believe the
Sagasta Ministry can do much in the ma
Ter of granting concessions to the Cubans.
l understand he has reported that the
people OF Spain would greatly deprecate
any such step, and the fear of internal
t'oubles will doubtless do much TO pre-
vent Senior Sagasta taking radical action.
As a result of this discussion, the au-
thorities are convinced that Sagasta can
do much to ameliorate the condition OF
affairs in the island if he will be willing
TO brave public opinion in Spain.
President Mckinley is awaiting with no
little anxiety for Spain's reply to tho pres
entations made by Minister Woodford.

were present. caused nollces on the day
OF meeting to be inserted in their own
papers advising all me m bers of the Anil

they. with the exception of KauIea and

forms. and the young ladies of the
kawaihao Seminary and other school
children.
There was smattering of japanese and
Chinese, but the bulk of the gathering
was com posed of what is known as the
missionary element and their families
and the military officers and police, in
civilian clothes, and mum ber of others
attracted there by curiosity.

As the coolest and most eloquent orator
labors under a grieyous disadvantage in
having the current OF his thoughts and
rhetoric broken into almost momentarily
TO have them twisted into another Ian
guage. the Senator consequently had no
opportunity to impress his audience with
his elocutionary genius. He further la
bored under another disadvantage. His
managers had forgotten to inform HIM

The whole speech may be summarized
into paragraph: From the moral stand
point America discovered Hawaii, and
civilized 1t, and turned 1t into a part of
the United States. 1t would not annex 1t
before because it was monarchy and not
a republic. Now that it was republic
the Uniled States would take it whenever

whether the 90. 900 Hawaiians liked il or
not. If they were annexed they would
become American citizens and have all the

relapse into barbarism and become Japan

WEYLER'S SUCCESSOR.
The Man to Whom Premier Sagasta
VIII Confide the Fortunes or the
Liberal Administration.

MADRID, SPAIN, Oct. s.-Captain-Gen-
eraI Ramon Blanco Y Arenas, who will
succeed Captain n-General Weyler as Gov
esnor-General of Cuba, has had his chief
administrative experience in the Philip
pine I,lands.
He succeeded Captain General Despuiol
as Governor-General of the Philippines in
1898, and for his services in that capacity
was raised TO the rank of marshal in May,
1895
In August, 1896, he reported to the
Spanish Minister of the Colonies the ex.
istence OF an extensive plot aiming at the
independence of the islands. This rap
idly took The proportions of formida bic
insurrection, which the efforts of General
Banco were powerless 10 check. In Sep
tember of that year he narrowly escaped
assassination.
A plot was formed to surprise the garri-
son at Manila and seIZe the headquar ers
and to murder the captain general 1t
was discovered just in the nick of time
and more than 100 persons were arrested
Tor com plicity in it, Prior TO this General
BlanCo had not resorted to extreme meas
ures. but spurred on by the personal dan
ger 10 which he had been exposed, he
issued decree ordering that all property
belonging to residents OF the Philippine
1slanuS WHO ndO Deen I'm pllcateQ In the
rebellion should be forfeited for the benefit
of the Government. A weeks grace was
offered TO those who were willing to sur
render.
But neither this decree nor General
Blanco's military tactics, nor other excep-
1ional measures which he took 10 sun
press the rebellion, prevented it from
spreading and in Decem ber, after a
broad hint from the Government that
his methods were not sufficiently
severe he rendered his resignation and
was succeeded by General Polavieia, COM
mander of the Sixth Army Corps. who
was sent to the Philippines with instruc-
Mons virtually Identical to those given 10
Captain General Weyler when the latter
succeeded Marshal Martinez Campos in
Cuba.
Shortly after this Marshal Blanco was
appointed chief of the military household
OF ;he Queen Regent. He has been de-
scribed as the 'softest hearted soldier in
Spain, and his whole career indicates his
disposition 10 employ mild rather than
violent measures. Ever since the fall of the
Azcarraga Cabinet the nal me of Marshal
Blance has been the most prominent
among the possible successors of General
Viewer, and the impression in some we'll
informed quarters has been that if ap-
pointed Governor-General OF Cuba he
would be empowered 10 approach the in
surgents with a view of arriving at a
mutual agreement for the cessation OF
hostiiities. He enjoys the personal friend
ship and entire confidence of the Queen
Regent.

that OF Elijah Parks living on CStom-T

and his death notice appeared in the
morning papers. Friends attended tothe
preparation of the body for burial, ami a
wake was held last night.
An expert was at once sent to the sceie.
His expe rienced eye enab ed him i'm me-

dressing of the body, in order that they
might be removed TO the detention camp.

scheme to fall through, and DR.. Smith
escaped for that night.
