UNDER AMERICAN AUSPICES.

A Cuban Appointed Mayor Of Santiago.
Santiago de Cuba, November %
Some time ago Ma Or McLeary,
who Gen. Wood had appointed as
mayor of Santiago, requested to be
relieved of his mayorality duties and
return to his military post The re-
quest was granted So-day. Ia the
opinion Of Gen. Wood it is prefer
able to appoint to tie mayorality, a
civilian. acceptable to the Cubsne,
and he has appointed as Maj Nc
Leary's successor Senior Bacardi, an
cid resident He is anxious to give
the mayor as mu,h authority as is
compatible with military Jurisdiction
The new mayor will conform to Gen
Woods ideas, which are to give the
Cubans every opportunity to show
themselves capable of self-goYern
ment.
The first official act of Mayor B4
cardi was to discharge the entire
clerical force in the Mayors Office
and to employ Cubans who had
served IN the war. He will shortly
issue manifesto to the effect that
he intends encouraging the city
development and giving employment
as far as conditions will permit to
worthy persons He promises to
look closely to the general interests
of the community and will call upon
all Cubans to obey tia law, and thus
promote the prosperity of the cause
and insure the happiness of bis
people.
Gen. Wood has high hopes of this
first attempt at civil government
under Cuban control.

COCKRELL ON LEGISLATION.
The Senior Missouri Senator Talks About
Public Questions.

Public Questions.
Washington, ID O., Nov. 25.-
Senator Francis IL. Cockrell has
arrived in Washington after long
campaign in Missouri.
Il do not look for any new and
sweeping legislation at the coming

"ThR appropriation bills will be

regard to Hawaii.
at is impossible to say what the
Senate will do with the peace treaty,
as it is not known yet what the con-
ference at Paris will agree upon
finally. Personally, l am opposed to
taking the Philippines. The policy
of expansion, about which we hear
so much, is not defined very clearly
bv its advocates, but it seems to me
that the annexation of islands thou
sands of miles from our coast will
involve very grave questions and is
of doubtful wisdom Ia my judg-
ment it is entirely unnecessary"

General Grosvenor has views on
the subject of peace commissioners.
He thinks the commission now in
Paris should he called home and a
new commission appointed compos-
ed of Admirals Sampson and Schley
and Captains Bob Evans, Phillips,
Clark, Wildes, Sigsbee and Chad
wick. He wants each of the COM
missioners to take man of war and
anchor in front of Spanish ports
and conduct negotiations with 49,
inch guns. The arguments which q
commission of that kind command
would, in his opinion, be convincing
in high degree and speedily pro-
duce treaty results"

appeared to be unlimited and all his

Gilbert and Sullivan were considered
by managers as the ''sure winners" In

who was q member Of n Of the Pima

Gilbert congratulated the young wo-
man and expressed the hope that her fu-
ture might be prosperous and happy.
Only n little more than a month pass
ed, and another letter from the same
girl reached him, in which she stated
that her engagement with the young
man had been broken and that she had
accepted another suitor.
He replied that he had every conf
dence in her judgment and again ex-
pressed his hearty wishes for her well
fare.
1t was almost two months after that
that Gilbert received a third letter from

she had accepted him after breaking
