So far as the cabinet discussion today
touched upon. Cuba and Porto Rico, it was
the purpose to develop views as to the best
means of collecting the revenues and Gus
toms, providing some means of equaliZing
the duties which would be collected locally
upon imports from the United States, as
well as from other countries, and providing
for the peaceful and satisfactory govern
ment of the cities and towns until congress
shall have ordered otherwise. tt is the in
tention of the president to maintain mill
tary government in both Cuba and Porto
Rico for the time being, but his purpose is
also to mitigate the harsher features of such
form of government so far as lies within his
power. For instance, there was taken into

There are several strong arguments which
the war department has put forth as suffi

In the first place honorable and profitable
employment would be given to consider

might otherwise, in the absence of individ-
ual employment, drift into evil courses or
become a dissatisfied OF dangerous element
in the community.
In the second place, these men, being
thoroughly acquainted locally with places

the language, would be much more service.

LONDON, Nov. l.-William Hayes Fish
er, one of the JUNIOR lords of the treasury
member of paliament for Fulham and &
ministerial whip, speaking in London thi'
evening, said he had seen dispatches which
enabled him to assert that the French gov
ernmeut had decided to recall the Marchanc
mission from Fashoda.
In the course of an interview after the de
livery of his speech ) fAlr. Fisher, on being re-
minded that he had said he had seen the
dispatches justifying his assertion OF the IN
tention OF France to Withdraw Marchand
replied that he did not say he had read them
remarking that he had been unsupported
There is little doubt, however, that either
purposely or carelessly, MIR. Fisher allowed
the news of the actual fact to leak out:
The Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail
says: France will retire from Fashoda un'
conditionally and without asking compen
sation. Baron de Courcel, whose term as
French ambassador in London expired long
ago, but who has held Oh to conduct nego-
tiations affecting Egypt, will now be re-
called and no haste will be shown to ap-
point his successor9 with view OF showing
French resentment of British action, for
England has almost taken the place of Ger
many as the object of French hatred"
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says:
versation had after the last British cabinet
council that Lord Salisbury's attitude had
undergone change, the British premier in
sisting that it was impossible to disregard
public opinion in England and that nothing
could be done until Fashoda was evacuated.
80 far as French public opinion is con-
cerned, there is not the slightest idea of going
to war for Fashoda, and any government
doing so would be regarded as government
of imbeciles.'
The Daily Graphic says this morning:
1--WE learn from an official source in Paris
that Captain Baratier bears instructions to
Major Marchand to return to Fashoda and
then to withdraw his expedition in the di-
rection of the Upper Ubanghi river, north
of the Congo, evacuating Fashoda and the
five posts established by him east of the
agreement.
The Egyptian government will be invited
to send troops to accompany Major Mar.

All Prophesv Peace

LONDON, Nov. l.-All the special dis
patches from Paris to the morning papers in.
dicate that the solution predicted by the
Daily Graphic will be the one finally reached
and that, even should France sulk, diplo.
matically, no further serious consequences
are anticipated. 1t is not believed. how.
ever, that France will pursue the useless
course OF leaving her embassy in London va
cant.
The acquiescence of the French people in
the revision of the Dreyfus case iustifies the
French cabinet in conciliatory policy.
Only as means of withdrawing the atten-
ton from internal troubles, could the
French government entertain the idea of
risking war for Fashoda, and since there is
no sign of disorders in Paris, the whole stu.
alton has changed.
The war office has issued a semi-official
notification, in which tsays it does not OBJ
ject to the papers announcing military and
naval preparations in general terms, but
points out that it would be ''unpatriotic to
publish specific details that might be useful
to a possible foe.''
There is no noticeable cessation in Eng
lands preparations. and the officials are con
fident of the country's ability to meet all
emergencies. There were large shipments
of guns. shells and war stores to Malta and

Manila Minerals

WASHINGTON, Nov. l.-Admiral Dewey
has forwarded to the navy department a
memorandum on the mineral resources OF
the Philippines, prepared at the admiral's
request by Prof. George F. Becker of the
United States geological survey. Prof
Becker made considerable researches and
consulted eli the available authorities. Only
about a score of the several hundred islands
he says, are known to contain deposits of
valuable minerals, those on the island of
Luzon including coal, gold, copper, lead,
iron, sulphur, marble and kaolin.
Of the coal Mr.. Becker saystthat it is ana
lagous to the japanese coal and that of
Washington, but not Welsh or Pennsylva-
MIA coal. 1t might be better characterized
as highly carbonized Ignite, likely to con-
tain such sulphur as iron pyrites. rendering

Perkins at Pomona

POMONA, Nov. 1.-The Republicans held
big rally in their tent here last evening.
Senator Perkins was the principal speaker
and dwelt entirely upon the tariff and nation
al issues, carefully avoiding the railroad issue
until questioned by Republican from the
audience, when he very adroitly turned the
issue to San Pedro and explained how the
Republican party had appropriated $3,0O0,-
900 for that harbor By preconcerted ar
rangement, which was tleverly carried out,
prominent Republican asked the senator at
the close of his address whether Senator
White had been instrumental in getting the
tariff on oranges, the speaker being pre-
viously loaded. The speaker again showed
himself to be a clever politician, by replying
in substance, that to a Republican caucus
was due the tariff; that White absented him
Dngley bill. He did not even intimate that
the senator from the south used his personal
influence on the Republican members, or in
any way was associated with those who OBJ
tanned legislation. Senator White, when
addressing the citizens of Pomona two weeks
ago, stated emphatically that he did work
for the tariff. In regard to the funding bill,
Senator Perkins mentioned the Democratic
and fusion members of the committee, and
said they made the arrangement by which
the president, secretary of the interior and
attorney general were made committee to
draft an agreement. He spoke in the most
Aattering terms of President Mckinley s
settlement of the Union Pacific debt and as
sured his hearers that they could rely upon
him in the other case. The speaker said
that the fusion party was not discussing

him, stated that they did slightly, for both
J. r. Rush and Charles A. Barlow spoke at
length on this issue here only last Saturday
evening. The senator excused himself for
not being posted by saying that he hadn't
seen it in the papers-he hadn't read of any
ones saying anything about it. While Mr..
Perkins made clean speech, he neverthe-
less msstated facts or only mentioned such
portions as would bolster his statements.
He claimed for the Republican party the
credit of having placed tax on the Standard
Oil trust and other great monopolies. SEN
ator White, when here, said: RI offered an
amendment to that bill, which hold here in
my hand, by which proposed to make the
sugar trusts and the Standard Oil trust and
some other great monopolies of the country,
who control millions and millions of money,
but who never have contributed one cent
toward the expenses of this war, pay their
share of the tax" Senator Perkins then

there was a Republican tariff on oranges:
