New York, Oct. Arrangements
have been perfected by the executive
committees of the United Democracy

rangements for the mass meeting at
Cooper Institute tomorrow night. The
intention is to make this a general
mass convention of the Democratic
voters of New York, which will ratify
the nominations already made by the
conventions by itself nominating Henry
George for mayor. Then Mr.. George
will accept the nominations rendered
him. The Democratic supporters will
insist throughout the campaign that
he is the regular Democratic nominee.
Judge Gaynor will probably preside at

minutes after he heard Of the Tammany
nominations he sent a message to Mr.
George saying he was with him and
ready to speak or write in his favor

PREMIER sAGAsrA,s TASK.
General Weyler Might Refuse to Obey
Orders II RecaIled.

0ehefaI WeYler Might Refuse to Obey
Orders If Recalled.
Madrid, Oct. 4.-Senor Sagasta, the
Liberal leader has been entrusted by
the queen regent with the task of form
ing new cabinet, in succession to the
Azcarraga ministry. It is expected that
the Sagasta cabinet will be completed
and announced today. General Correa
has accepted the portfolio of minister
Of war, and Admiral Bennejo becomes
minister of marine.
1t is perfectly understood in Madrid
that General Weyler is the cause of the
ministerial crisis. The queen as well as
Azcarraga object to his continuation in
Cuba. But a strong military party,
mostly composed of officers who have
obtained promotions and decorations
from General Weyler during his pre-
vious military campaign, support him
In Madrid. They have become insistent,
now that the question arises Of recall
Ing him. Another strong military party
in Cuba, composed of the same sort Of
men, threaten hostile demonstrations in
case General Weyler is not recalled.
Weyler is entirely capable Of disobey-
ing orders if recalled, AS captain gem
eral of the Canary Islands, on a pre-
vious occasion, he refused to obey
orders of recall, and the government
had to resort to energetic measures to
compel his obediance. Weyler now de-
clares that he has a contract with the
Spanish government, and that by that
contract he is given two years for end
ing the war in Cuba, and that the
term has not expired,
The ministerial changes win not af-
feet the instructions which United
States Minister Woodford originally re-
ceived from President Mckinley. Both
General Woodford and Senior Sagasta
the premier, maintain absolute reserve
on the question Of American relations
to Spain. Leading Liberals, however.
declare that Spain can never officially
accept American mediation in Cuban
affairs

Refuse to obey the
Summons.

New York, oct. 4.-The Herald prints
a number of interviews with leading
Cubans here on the situation in the
island. The Cubans all declare that
autonomy for the islands is out Of the
question, but most of them are in ia
vor of paying Spain a reasonable in
demnity, providing she evacuates the
island at once.
L. Estrada Pelma, representative of
the Cuban provisional government,
said: "To the Cuban patriots it makes
little difference whether a Liberal or
Conservative ministry directs affairs
In Spain. A change in government in
Spain does not alter the case Of the
Cubans. They are now more firmly
determined than ever to push the fight
until the absolute independence Of Cuba
is acknowledged. believe the Cubans
are willing to pay a reasonable in
demnity to Spain provided she with
draws her troops from Cuba before
the island is completely ruined"
Enrique ]. De Varona said: Il be-
lieve autonomy would complicate, far
from solving, the Cuban situation. Alb
solute independence is the aspiration of
the immense majority of the Cuban
people. Cuba needs definite political
regime. Spanish autonomy would not
give it to the island. The only prac-
teal solution of the Cuban problem is
absolute independence"
Dr. Henry Lincoln De Zayas said.
"The Cubans are and have always BEEN
ready to treat with Spain with view
to cessation of hostilities provided the
first condition be that Spain should ac-
knowledge Cuba's independence"
Colonel f. Lopez de Queralite, for
merly Of the United States army, and
a veteran of the ten years war in
Cuba, said:
81 would like to see Cuba freed by
force Of arms. But to avoid further
shedding of blood of innocent people /
would, though painfully, sign and give
my consent to a compensation to Spain
for the sake of getting rid of the Span
ish."
e. Trujillo, editor of El Porvenir said:
"Cubans are fighting for absolute inde-
pendence and will accept no other So
luton"
Brigadier Eugenio Sanchez Agra
monte, surgeon general of the Cuban
army, said: "Cubans are firmly de-
termined to fight until absolute inde-
pendence Is accomplished. But a few
Lilllllbllt IOIe OF less, DIONluGu lne
sum is reasonable, viii be paid by them
to Spain, in order to avoid a prolonga-
tion of the struggle"
Regarding the plan for the purchase
Of Cuba from the Spanish government
General Emelio Nunez, who for the
past ten days has been in consultation
with the junta leaders in New York,
said:
II cannot see how the plans for the
freedom OF Cuba on the basis of a
guarantee to Spain by the United States
of an indemnity of 5000, OOO, 900 in cash car
be displeasing to any Of the parties, ex-
cept that the amount is greatly in ex-
cess of the true values Of the relics left
by Weyler. The United States could
affort to back up the proposition, be.
cause 1t would have the revenue OF
Cuba TO guarantee reimbursement, and
would gain immediate improvements
Of its trade relations"

Gedusky Succeeded In PROVING AhuJ An
Illegal Seizure Was Made.
/ In the case of Martin Yedusky vs.. Harris
iRubinsky, Israel Rubnsky, Isadore Lauden-
Htine Thomas Boan and John Dando, the
Jury rendered a sealed verdict in Judge Al
brights court, at Pottsville, on Saturday in
favor of the plaintiff for S37b and costs. The
6ase arose out Of the illegal selling of the
plaintiffs store goods in Shenandoah by the
defendants for small claim. WIN. ID.
Self er, Esq, for plaintiff, and A. W. Sehalck,
Esq, for defendants.
Joseph Yedusky was in business on East
Centre street, in 1893. His brother, Martin
Yedusky, and Pete Wilkutskey, obtained
Judgment against him before Justice Dengler
bn January 80, '93. and at once issued execu-
tion and levied dpsz1 5-st,aselF 7ae goods and
other property Joseph Yedusky claimed
the $500 law, and under it Constable Tosh set
aside a large stock Of groceries in the store.
Harris Rubinsky was creditor Of Joseph
Yedusky and he issued attachment pro-
ceedings before the late Squire Hill, of Potts
Vile. Constable Bertram, on February 3rd,
1898, attached the stock Of goods in the store
that had been set aside, but did not take
actual possession of them, but left them in
the possession Of Joe and allowed him TO con-
tinue business at the old stand the same as
before. Some three weeks after this execu-
tion was placed in the hands Of Constable
Dando and upon it was endorsed list of the
goods which Bertiam had attached, and
which he Dando, was directed to SELL When
Constable Dando called at the store, together
with Constable Boland, Martin Yedusky. a
brother Of Joseph's, claimed these goods, and
alleged that he had bought them from Joseph
since the attachment. The officers, believing
that Joseph had no right after the levying of
the attachment to sell and dispose of these
goods, and that they were still subject to the
attachment, seized the goods.
Martin Yedusky, claiming that he had
purchased these goods from Joseph in good
faith, and that he had no knowledge what
ever Of Constable Bertram's attachment upon
the same brought this 9ction against the
officers and against Rubinsky and his son,
and one Isadore Lauderstein, who was pres
ent at the time and assisted in the removal
of the goods. The verdict includes the value
of the goods $500, and damages to the
amount of $175 and costs.

Saturday was naturalization day at the
county court, and Judge Bechtel had a busy

mostly Poles and slavs. Some were after
their first papers, and others for their final
papers. s. M. Euterline and John o. Ulrich,
Esqs, were present and rigidly cross.

instances Offering objections to their being
natualzed. The hearing began at 10 o'clock
and was continued until o'clock. Many Of
the applicants were refused the parchment

A ballot was on the clerks desk. which all
applicants were required to explain how they

pass the ordeal. He could not tell where the
administrative office of the President of the
United States was located or where the
State laws are enacted. He said VIM. Nc
Kinley made the laws Of the State. The
Constitution Of the State was read to him by
another Teller" from Russian print. To Mr.
Enterline, who did much of the examining,
he said the tax collector could collect his
church dues. This applicant, Of course, was
refused naturalization.
Mr.. Ulrich entered objection to certain Of
the applicants who said they read the State
Constitution in Polish paper in Mahanoy
City, adding that he is informed the cOnst-
tuition was not published in the paper alluded
to. Each one was required to have at least
one person to vouch for his good behavior
and desirability as a citizen.
Two or three were refused citizenship be-
cause they desired to got rid of the three

cause they did not know what office His
Honor Judge Bechtel held. Mr.. Enterline

an objection. Under the rules of court these
applicants were refused papers
Some of the applicants practically knew
nothing about the National or State Govern
ment; couldn't tell whom the Governor was.
One lawyer, in discovering that some of his
clients were situated in this manner, sent
them home to study. In some respects the
hearing is considered farce. The attorneys
for the applicants know what questions are
to be asked, and their clients are thoroughly
drilled before going on the stand. In several
instances, on Saturday, the applicants got
twisted in their answers, much to the disgust
of the attorneys. The latter 20 so far, some
