Captain George L. Kelsey, of the

He put into port there September 18th,

The American consul heard of the ru-

B1anco,s New Cabinet.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Considerable in
terest was manifested among Cubans at
the junta headquarters at the reported
makeup of General BlanCo's cabinet for
the colonial government of Cuba under
the decree of autonomy. Jose Maria
Galvez, said to be slated for president of
the cabinet. is the leader of the autono-
mist party and was formerly a promi-
nent lawyer.
"But," said one of the Cubans, "He
has been ruined by gambling"
Rafael Montoro, Marquis of Montoro,
was at one time, they say, leader of the
autonomists. He is a lawyer and an
eloquent speaker. He is said to have
been named for minister of finance.
The reputed selection for minister of
the interior, Antonio Gown, is a lawyer
and for years was member of the pro-
visional council.
Francisco Zayas, mentioned as ap-
po1ntee for minister of education. is a
leading physician of Havana;
Arturo Amblaro, the proposed minis
ter OF commerce is Spaniard and was
until recently bitterly opposed to auto
nomy and the proposed reforms.
For minister of posts and telegraphs
the man selected is said to be Rafael
Fernandez Castro, a lawyer, professor
in the university and the owner OF large
sugar plantations. He is the wine con-
tractor for the army and has great in
huence.
Members of the junta have no com
ments to make on the cabinet, as 6
whole. 1t was not certain, it was said
that the cabinet report was correct, anG
it really mattered little to the insurgents
who were interested in absolute inde
pendence.

Trouble is Drobable.

DENVER, Dec. ga Washington dis
patch to tn eTimes says:
Indications are today stronger than
they have been at any previousstime of
trouble between the administration and
the silver advocates in the Republican
party. The reason for this change is
found in declaration made by Senator
Fairbanks at Indianapolis yesterday
that the president had assured him of
his determination to stand by the gold
standard. Fairbanks is very near to
the president, aAd the Republican BIZ
metallists no longer make any secret of
their strong fear that Mckinley will
forsake them.

OF THE ESTABLISHMENT.


Or THE ESTABLISHMENT.
The Waramaker store has been one OF the sights
Of Philadelphia ever since 1876 when the nucleus
OF that present vast establishment formed. The
original building had been freight depot. and was
bought by Mr. Wanamaker from the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and fitted up as department
store about the time that the Centennial Exhibit
ton was opened. Great crowds hocked to the City
OF Brotherly Love. and even with the attractions
in Paramount Park TO engage their interest. the
large store with it's many departments and its novel
features received an unusual amount OF attention
and great deal Of patronage
Country merchants from ALL over the United
States took their cue from the great stablish-
ment in many matters of detail and the store did
much to promote the development of the depart
ment store system.
The store a. that time had its main front in Mar

tended back to short distance from Chestnut-st

is about sixteen acres. divided into five selling
