Cubans. However, Are NJ sre Determined
Than kver to Have Independence.
New YORK, Oct. 5.-The Herald
prints a number Of interviews with
leading Cubans here on the situation in
the island. The Cubans all declare that
autonomy fer the island is out of the
question, but most of them are in favor
Of paying Spain a reasonable indemnity
providing she %evacuates the island at
once. T. Estrada Palma, representa-
tive Of the Cuban provisional govern
ment, said:
"To the Cuban patriots it makes little
difference whether q Liberal or Con-
sentative ministry directs affairs in
Spain. A change in government in
Spain does not alter the case of the Gu.
bans. They are now
More Firmly Determined Thar Ever
to push the fight until the absolute in.
dependence or Cuba is acknowledged.
l believe the Cubans are willing to pay
a reasonable indemnity to Spain pro-
vided she withdraw her troops from
Cuba before the island is completely
ruined"
Enrique j. de Varona said: II be-
lieve autonomy would complicate,
rather than solve the Cuban situation.
Absolute independence is the aspiration
Of the immense majority of the Cuban
people,"

Regarding the plan for the purchase
Of Cuba from the Spanish government,
General Amelio Nunez, who for the
past 10 days has been in consultation
with the junta leaders in New York,
said:
81 cannot see how the plans for the
freedom of Cuba on the basis of a guar
antee to Spain by the United States of
an indemnity of $500. 600, 900 in cash
can be displeasing to any of the parties,
except that the amount is greatly in ex-
cess OF the true values of relics left by

using for a number of years past to keep

"the scar system" and has been found
wonderfully effective.
There is an unwritten theory in the
army that every man who enlists will

nc entirely true, but the desertions are
numerous enough to make it worth

Ear the penalty for desertion is death,

emphasis declared the bone was not the

matter. 1t is Of a greenish tint, peculiar

ton as a human femur was handed to
DR.. Plumer, and without hesitation he
denied that it was a femur of the hu.
man race.
cit resembles in a slight degree a hu.

the bone is much smaller than the ay.
erage human femur. There are other
distinct characteristics Of the human
femur missing. Besides, this bone looks
rough and of a degree Of thickness not
usually seen in the human femur."

CUTTING THE hogs BACK
Machinery on the Ground to
Remove Polk-Street
Hill.
Difference of Opinion as to the
Adaptability of the Grade
Established.

After months of delay contractors War
rer & Malley have at last succeeded in
getting the necessary machinery on the
ground 10 remove the "hog's back" on
Polk street. The taking away of this
hump was negotiated for by the Polk
street Improvement Club about one year
ago, but the work was considered to be so
difficult that manual labor would not
justify the contractors in going ahead, as
the expense would more than eat up the
amount of money appropria ted for the re-
moval of the hill. As a consequence ma
chinery suitable for the work had to be
built in the East. This is now on the
ground and the WORK will be commenced
Just as soon az the track along Greenwich
street is laid to carry the dirt to the sea-
wall, where it Will be used to fill up that
portion within the outer wall of the Fair
bulk head"
This cutting, although gigantic in it
self, will not, according to the opinion of
some OF the members of the Polk.street
Club, answer the purpose intended, which
was that its removal would make Polk
street the great commercial thoroughfare
leading from the business portion OF the
City to the North End. This is a miscal-
cuation, according to the opinion OF
Henry Steffens, prominent merchant of
the North End district and mem ber of the
Polk-street Improvement Club. Hs said,
when discussing the subject: 1.-THE cut
ting of the hill is all right in its way but
to make it a thoroughfafe for hauling
from the business portion of the City to
the district out here, it is just money
thrown away. In the first place, Polk
street, at its intersection with jackson,
should be cut about five feet, and the hol-
low at Broadway raised the same height
as that taken off at Jackson. Then there
would be an easy grade all along the line.
again, Chestnut street should be raised
fully twenty feet, so that after the cut is
passed there might be gradual fall and
incline making the grade easy to haul.
AS it is now the grade over this ection of
the street is even too much for an empty
wagon.
II urged the necessity of this equaliza-
ton of grade when l was an active MEM
Der of the I'm mprovement Club, but the
other mem bers did not quite agree with
me- So the present grade was established
and the work of cutting the Hogs Back
goes on. But time will tell who was
right"
= In addition to the cutting of the hill
Bay street is being put N condition be-
tween Jones and Leavenworth. The hill
on both sides of the street, which stood in
some portions as high as ten feet, is being
cut down and bi.umen sidewalks laid on
both sides of the street.
Polk street is also being extended from
Bay to the old wooden mills, now occupied
jointly by Fontana and Ghirardelli as
manufacturers. This will afford good
