Evidence that Cuban Insurgents Are
Listening to Reason.

HAVANA, Oct. 25.-Manuel Sanguilly, the
well-known author and orator, who was a
distinguished soldier in the ten years war,
will represent the Second Third and Fifth
Corps of the Cuban army at the Cuban as
sembly convened to consider the establish
ment of a permanent Cuban government.
His choice by these troops, including the
Holguin, Tunas, Bayamo, Manzanillo Cam
aguey, Matanzas and Havana divisions,
is highly significant as indicating the senti-
ment Of a large number of the Cubans now
under arms. Sanguilly who is a Cuban
of the Cubans and an extreme Radical, has
made several speeches of late that have
caused a profound sensation, in which he
has urged upon the Cubans the imperative
necessity of placing full confidence in the
United States government, and has CEN
sured those who have shown distrust of
the Americans.
He had advocated the disbandment of the
Cuban troops and their return to the arts
of peace, dwelling long and earnestly upon
the Importance to the Cubans securing the
confidence of the United States. He even
went so far as to declare that If the Cuban
revolutionary leaders should assume a hos
tile attitude towards the Americans he
would enter the ranks of those opposed to
SQCn a course. Ills SSlScllOn dl THIS june
ture, and in view of such sentiments, in
dicates that a rational judgment is making
headway in certain quarters.
The Playa Marianao, having been def
nitely selected as the temporary landing
place for the United States troops, the
transportation commission is now waiting
orders from Washington to begin work of
preparation. Capt Joseph Crawford. of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, will have charge of
the construction of the wharf and piers,
which he estimates, will be ready in the
course of FIVE or six days. While the Ma
rianao will be the temporary landing place
for the incoming troops. permanent loca-
ton has been selected elsewhere, but the
transportation commission declines to di-
vulge the exact site until the choice has
been ratified at WashiD gton.

American Peace Commissioners Dis
cuss the Policy to BE Pursued.


cuss the Policy to BE Pursued.
PARIS, Oct. 25.-The American peace
commission was in session during the whole
of this afternoon. The deliberations of the
commission, however, have no relation to
the Cuban debt, upon which question the
attitude of the United States has been
strictly determined. Our commissioners dis
cussed the Philippine question to-day and
decided on the policy to follow. 1t is be-
neved the American commissioners have
full power to deal with this matter as they
may judge best in the interests Of the
United States.
The Gaulois to-day. referring to yester-
days joint session, says: 1T is certain that
both sides will endeavor to gain time, the
Americans not wishing to take up the
Philippine question before the United
States congressional elections have taken
place, and they do not wish the alleged
mystery, previously disclosed by the Gaulois,
to become known at present" This refers
to the allegation that there has been some
agreement between the United States and
Spain, outside of the protocol, regarding
Spanish sovereignty, an allegation which
the Associated Press has already declared
on high authority to be untrue. Continuing,
the Gaulois afiirms that the Spaniards are
delaying a solution of the Cuban debt ques-
ton until after the election in the United
States, expecting then to get better
terms" adding that it fears Spain does not
perceive the advantages possible to her
from the electoral situation in the United
States

dent some pressing departmental matters
which had TO be disposed of before the lat

received from the American peace commits
sioners, which was said to be disquieting.
was informally discussed, but, so far as
could be ascertained. no action of any kind
was taken.
The presence of the Cabinet members at
the White House gave rise to report that
a special meeting of the Cabinet had been
called to consider the Paris situation; but
one of the officials who was present said
that the informal conference which was had
about various matters could not be desig-
mated as a Cabinet meeting. Precisely the
nature Of the information received by the
President from the American commissioners
was not disclosed tonight. 1t is said, how
ever, that the situation is embarrassing, if
not critical in the opinion of the commits
soners. although there is still reason for
! the expectation that the negotiations will
not be broken off and that they will pro-
ceed to a successful issue. 1t is understood
to be the belief of the President that the un-
certainty which now seems to cloud the
proceedings of the joint commission will
soon be dissipated and that an agreement
will be reached that will be eminently sat-
isfactory to the American people One
thing is said to have been decided positive
ly, and that is under no circumstances will
the United States agree to assume any por-
! ton of the debt saddled Cuba by Spain.

 Several of our young men had quite 8 grave-digging experience Sunday which has come to the reporters ears. It seems that some one reported that there had been found 8 newly made grave in a dilapidsted dwelling near the railroad track, two miles below the village. Our amateur detectives started out to inves- tigate the matter and upon arriving st the premises and securing the out build ings to make sure that there was no would-be assassins to deal with, they summoned up courage and started for the house which they entered cautious ly, making sure that there was no one in any room before they exposed them selves. Finding no trace of any one in the upper part they went to the south side of the house and peered down into the cellar-way and finally mustered their courage and went down into the cellar | when, Lo! there was sure enough, a newly made grave which was heaped up in most suspicious manner. More scared than hurt they proceeded very cautiously to stir up the dirt to find as they supposed the remains of some poor unfortunate; but being without shovels and their courage oozing out, they de- cided to return to the village for another person and couple of shovels. Hur- riedly returning to the village they found another would-be hero, and pro- curing two shovels they returned to resurrect the supposedly buried corpse. They re-entered the cellar and common ced their laborious task, resting now and then to talk over what they were liable to find, till after digging for about one.half an hour they struck to their northumberland ground and rock. They filled Tn the hole and shouldered their shovels, returning to their homes wearied but sadder and wiser: and have decided that when there is any more detective work they will lei some one else do it.

NEW RAILWAY STATION.
The Largest in the World.

The Largest in the World.
 The new South Terminal station in Boston will be, when completed, says the Hartford Courant, the largest rail- way station in the world and one of the largest permanent buildings erected. The roof covers very nearly twelve acres, and the building will represent sn expenditure of nearly $14.00O, 900. the approaches costing approximately e6,0O0, 900 more. It might be called a double-decker since local and suburban trains are to be handled on the lower floor and through trains on the upper floor 16 feet above. The lower floor is eig ht feet below hiehwater level in the ' harbor. In consequence it was neces- sary to close nearly the entire area in a water tight dam constructed of IA, ,00O,- 900 piles and "slternate layers of tarred paper, coal tar and cement" The plat forms for passengers are capable of &C., commodsting 25.0O0 people at once and tho tracks are capable of handling 2O00 trains in twenty -four hours. From this immense structure the entire popula- ton of Boston could be carried into the country in day. It will rank as one of. the wonders of the world. It will probably be opened next January The erection of such building gives us the idea that we are very capable peo. pie and that we can wage war or man. age colony or move an army as we'll ss any nation on the earth. So we can, if we exercise the same care in selecting managers and assistants that the ."Con- solidated" and the Boston & Albany do.
