formal recognition of the Cuban gov
eminent was not given me, nevertheless
the president and other officials in
Washington realized that the body of
men which I represented constituted
the government in the minds of thOu-
sands of Cubans, and was the real Of
hcial voice of thousands of men then
under arms, and of practically all those
who were in sympathy with the revoIu-
ton.
THE result of this conference was
That was assured that the United
states would cooperate directly with
those at the head of affairs in Cuba for
the attainment of the object of the
war. This cOntented me, as I felt that
the Cubans would receive all the neces-
sary assistance from the Americans to
establish a permanent and stable gov
eminent, whether the Cuban govern
ment was recognized or not. When [
returned to Cuba found that my COM
patriots were perfectly, willing to helm
in any way to carry out the policy
which the United States set forth in
the act OF congress relative to the war.
The Cubans under arms have been
Obedient to the Cuban government as
constituted, and the government has
felt that it not only owes a duty to the
army, but the Cuban people who have
upheld its supremacy, and that it
should not dissolve, now that the
American government has achieved a
noble victory, without leaving to the
army that Tor three years has been
obedient to it, the property intrusted to
it. The purpose Of the government
since peace has been practically de-
clared has been to settle the questions
as to the maintenance of the army, to
give opportunity for all who desire to
lay down their arms and seek work
and to resolve into proper form the
laws existing among the Cubans. In
relations to the necessities arising IN
der somewhat peculiar circumstances.
as far as possible, the Cubans, through
this government, are endeavoring to
settle justly all the questions pertain
ing to the relations between them and
the Americans.
1.-THE United States government has
taken complete control of affairs in this
province and is, I believe, conducting
them in the right spirit My own fear
is that if the Cuban government, as it
is now constituted, is left out of all
consideration and authority taken away
from it the American government, by
ignoring its authority before the people,
may, perhaps, find it more difficult to
settle the problem of establishing a per
manent government among the people
who for three years have looked to the
Cuban government as the controlling
power"

CHICAGO WOMAN is BRAVE.
Fights With a Thief Found in Her
Room in an Omaha Hotel

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 23.-Two men engag-
ed in robbing guests at the Paxton hotel
were thwarted through the GOODNESS and
courage of Mrs. Q. H. Peckham, wife of
a travelling man representing Mcclure &
MI Peckham went to breakfast, leaving
his wife in her room. Mrs. Pecl1h am
was aroused by an unusual noise at her
door and looked up to discover a man in
the act of rifiing her jewel case and purse;
Leaping from bed the woman screamed
for help, seized the burglar by the coat
collar and struggled to hold him until as
sistance arrived, but had not the strength.
The two struggled for, moment and
finally the man threw her off and left
the room. AS he went he was Joined by
another man, who had been keeping guard
outside the door.
Despite the fact that the corridor was
in a state of hubbub, the two made their
way to the stairs. Half way down the
stairway they met H: ]. lurking. head

them called to him: Say, you had bet

not resulted in even temporary benefit
As preliminary step to disposing of
the matter, it will recommend that, as
soon as practicable, authoritative in
structiOns be issued that duties be col
lected entirely in American gold. The
revenue collected has been found suf-
ficient to cover all the administrative
expenses of Santiago thus far authOriz-
ed. other resources disclosed in the
archives of the office are available for
the increased, unexpected, extraordina-
~ expenses. These resources are esti-
mated at $165,000 yearly for Santiago
city and for other towns in the pro-
vince at $1S, $50. The report closes with
a manifest of the numerous resources
lively collected and duly accounted for
would more than suffice to support in
an adequate manner all the expenses
of administering the province, even if
the rates of assessment were reduced,
in view of the impoverished condition
of this portion of the island. The lower
rates of duty specified in the schedules
prescribed have resulted in greater rev
enue receipts during the period covered
by the report than were found in the
record of office during the correspond
tiOnS.
Two hundred miles west of Santiago
is the desolate fishing village of Santa
Cruz, consisting of a single struggling
street along the shore, surrounded by
vast sWamps. Here the Cuban govern
ment has established headquarters, and
during the past month has held sessions
for the conduct of affairs of the several
towns in complete charge of the Gu
bans. The administration building, an
old store fronting on the sea, is poorly
furnished with chairs and tables only.
When the Associated Press CORE
spondent arrived at Santa Cruz, two
nights ago, he was conducted into the
Office of Vice President Capote, where.
around the table lighted only by a can
die in a bottle, the officials of the en-
bryo government were engaged in writ
ing orders and other legislative docu-
mentS. The reason for the change of
is the facilitatiOn of travel of the dele
gates and officials by boats.
With reference to Cuban affairs, Vice
President CapOte said to the CORE
spondent:
when war between the United
States and Spain was declared the gov
eminent decided unanimously to assist
and cooperate with the Americans to
secure the independence of Cuba, desig-
mating me to act as a special envoy to
see President Mckinley with regard to
the best methods to make the co-opera-
ton most effective. Though I was not
received officially, with the PRESIDENT
consent saw several members of his
cabinet and my efforts for the estab-
lishmGnt of friendly relations and reg
ular communication with the United
States resulted favorably. I had no
difficulty in arranging the necessary
particulars Of this relation. Although

THE CUBAN CAPITAL

Cruz on the Coast.
Vice President CapOte In Charge
of Affairs.

Santiago, Sept. 23.-By the courtesy
of Gen. Lawton, the Associated Press
correspondent was afforded an oppor-
tunity to peruse the report issued by
Customs Collector Donaldson, covering
the transactions of the custom house at
Santiago during the period between
July 16 and September 1. The report,
which was forwarded to Washington
today, deals voluminously with the work
Of gradually recognizing this depart
ment of the capituIated territory.
The sum of sIO7, 1913 was collected dur
tng the period from various sources and
payments were made of S13, 101 for san
stary and similar purposes, city police
and municipal salaries, salaries of Gus
tom house officials and miscellaneous
expenses.
After reviewing the various sources
OF revenue, Collector Donaldson eSti-
mates the annual income of the pro-
vince Of Santiago at 2,150 900. He
makes a strong plea for the assignment
of a revenue cutter for continuous en-
ployment in these waters.
The question Of a definite, stable cur
rency for Cuba is dealt with. Duties at
present are paid in gold coin of the
United States rendering necessary daily
estimates and computations of compar-
ative values, there being no absolute
standard of a circulating medium, and
confusion has arisen, particularly in the
matter of interchangea bic value of silver
coins of the two countries. Attempts
have been made by local dnanciers to
secure a conventional agreement that
Spanish silver coin be exchanged for
American coin on a basis of two to one,
but as the interchangeab value and
exchange value of the respective coins
DO not correspond, the attempts have

RAN TO MEET TRAIN.
Foolish Mule Was Killed and His
Owner Injured.

Independence, Sept. 23.--In a suit fled
as attorney for Thomas CrOak against the
Missouri Pacific Railway company, Mr.:
Croak asks for $14 400. He alleges that
he was driving out from Coffeyville in
March last in buggy drawn by, a mule
and that as he apprOa ched a, crossing west
of town. the mule took fright at an APP
preaching train and turning from the
highway, ran up the track toward the
train, which was running about forty miles
an hour.
The mule was killed by the train, the
buggy reduced to kindling wood and Mr..
Croak hurled to a great distance, where
by his shoulder diSlOcated, the ten
dons of one arm broken and the head and
spine badly hurt. Had there been the
usual cattle guard at the place of crossing
he says the accident could not have hap
pened and the company is in fault in not
having maintained a cattle guard at that
point. For his personal injuries, suffer-
ing, medical attendance and the loss of
the mule. buggy and harness he asks the
above named amount.

The fact that the Santa Fe is building

Santa Fe has unlimited faith in the future
