Garrison the Island.

Garrison the Island.
Washington, Nov. 10.--A letter from
President Maso of the Cuban provisional
government to President Mckinley became
accessible to-day. It Is dated at Santa
Cruz del Sur, Sept. %, and deals with the
governmental problems which now con-
front the American and Cuban people in
Cuba.
President Maso says that with theNevac-
uation Of The island by the Spanish "wil

of establishing In Cuba a firm and stable
government which shall be the legitimate
expression of the free will OF It's people,
and shall constitute a real guarantee Of
order peace and liberty which the Gu
bans so ardently wish for.
President Maso says that the logic of
events imposed an agreement between the
Americans and Cubans, as 10 the ends TO
be accomplished, and that the complex
labor, in which we have been and are en-
gagged. has beem~but In part realized; and
that the government council, as the SUI
preme authority of the revolution has in
spired all its acts In the am Of sustaining
and aiding the policy Of the American
government.
President Maso then reviews the action
Of the Cuban revolutionary party, and In
ulchteb the Steps Aldt ARE 10 Dt idhth Dy
the Cuban people to bring to frution the
hopes which have inspired them through
years of strife for freedom.
He adds: I'VE will stand by those men
who have sacrificed everything for the
welfare OF their country, and we are ready
TO answer for our conduct"
He comedies that the American govern
ment should garrison the island Ia order
TO insure tranquility during the period OF
transition from, Spanish 20 Cuban rule, and
that the natural developments OF events
win necessarily bring about a practical
understanding between the American gov
ernment and the people Of Cuba upon a
common basis"

Gen. Joe WheeIer's Plan for DeveI-
Oping Cuban Statesmen.
New York, Nov. 10.--Gen. Joseph Wheel
er is deeply interested in the education
of Cuban young men. He believes If
young Cubans will come to this country
and be tutored and then return he may be
of great use in developing Cuba and In
PRODUCING a stable form of government.
Gen. Wheeler has commissioned Gilbert
X. Harroun, treasurer of Union College.
to ask the American colleges If each of
them would give free education to two
or more Cubans, if the right sort of men
could be found to secure a college course
in this country.
Mr.. Harroun has written over 800 college
presidents in the United States, asking
them to cooperate and advance Cen
Wheelers plan. over 100 replies are at
hand, and with one accord the colleges
agree to take two or more young men,
who can pass the necessary examinations
and who can come properly vouched for
as to character and make the benefciaries
to the extent of free education. In many
cases the college agrees to aid the young
men beyond free tuition. In several in
stances the colleges recognizing the diff
culties under which the young men of
Cuba have labored have agreed to receive
them without insisting upon their passing
the examinations.

One of the Clashes.
Wilmington, N. c., Nov. 1O-Now that
the ''smoke has cleared away" and con-
ditions are somewhat more settled, 1t ap-
pears that ten negroes were killed outright
and at least twenty-five are more or less
seriously wounded, and that eleven Others
whose conduct has been offensive and cal
oulated to aggravate the strained attitude
of the races, are locked in Jail. Not a
single white man has been killed, and only
one, William Mayo seriously wounded.
There is no doubt that the negroes are
responsible for the precipitation of the
race war, as the following affidavit from
a thoroughly reputable citizen will attest;

about ten PAGES, and then 1 saw the negro
shoot. He pointed pistol towards the
white man and then fired. Immediately 1
saw blood flow from the said white mans
right arm. Then there was another shot
fired from the negro assemblage, and then
there was firing from the white assem-
blage, with the result that three negroes
fell. The negroes then dispersed. Then
the white men proceeded towards Moore's

stopped and the engineer and nremen
were ordered to leave the cab. The other
members of the gang rushed from the
woods and boarded the express car All
wore handkerchiefs over their faces. The
gang was regularly organized, and went
by numbers.
When the train stopped the conductor
and brakeman started forward 10 find out
what the trouble was, but the bandits fired
a number OF shots and warned them TO
keep back. They then compelled the ex-
press messenger to leave the car and while
three or four stood guard, the others pro-
ceeded to blow The safes.
The local safe was destroyed and 1t was
