.FAvORS COLONIAL FORM
Plans for the Government of
Porto Rico and Cuba.
TROUBLE FOR AMERICA
General Polavieja Says That All Re-
spectacle Elements in Cuba Will
Work for Annexation to the
United States.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Plans for the
temporary government of Cuba and the
territory which will be acquired from
Spain as a result of the war. are now
under serious consideration by the pres
ident and members of the cabinet Por-
to Rico, as an actual acquition to the
territory of the United States, will be
placed in charge of a military governor
who will exercise a supervisory control
of all the functions OF government un-
der the direction of the president. until
congress shall determine upon a perma-
nent form of government for the island
The president, under the constitution,
has no authority to go beyond the pre-
liminary or temporary stage of the es-
tablishment of any system of govern
mental control. and although
it is altogether probable that
IN his message to congress
on the subject he will exercise his
constitutional privilege Of making rec
concentrations, upon congress alone will
deVolve the responsibility and duty Of
determining the character of the poIit-
1cal relations which Porto Rico shall
permanently bear to the United States
There are reasons for the belief that
the president himself favors a colonial
form of government and that this view
is shared by members of the cabinet
Canada is noted as having a model col
onial government satisfactory alike to
a majority of its people and to the
mother county. This system, however
it is believed can be put upon opera
ton only after the lapse of a consider
able period and after the people have
demonstrated satisfactorily the ability
to govern themselves intelligently in all
local matters.
Upon the evacuation of Cuba IL is
believed to be the intention of the pres
ident to establish for the whole island
a temporary military government sim
llar TO that now in operation at Santi-
ago. When order has been fully re-
stored and the people have settled down
to their peaceful occupations IL is be-
lieved to be the view of the president
That convention OF the representa-
tives of the people should be called
upon to vote upon the question of
form of government for the island. The
presence OF the army Of the United
States would guarantee that every Cit
iZen who would subscribe to an oath
binding him TO support whatever form
of government should be agreed upon
should have the unquestioned right TO
vote for whomsoever he pleased to rep
resent him. This would, however have
to be submitted to the United States
for approval or disapproval. IL is held
that this convention of representatives
of the whole people in the free exercise
of their choice might express a wish
to become a colonial dependency of the
United States. or might favor a repub-
liCan form of government, or possibly
a majority might ask TO be annexed to
the United States. In any of the con-
tingencies it is believed that their wish
would meet the approval of the presi-
dent and his advisers.

ADVOCATES ANNEXATION.
America VIII Have Hard Row 10 Hoe
In Cuba.

In Cuba.
New York, Aug. IA Madrid dis
patch to the World gives an interview
with General Polavieja, which, speak
ing of Cuba, says:
THE day will come in Cuba when all
respectable elements. Spanards as well
as the foreign element and the old
Spanish party, too, will work for an
nexation to the United States i'm prefer
ence to being governed by the insur-
gents. But before annexation is reach
ed Cuba will have hard time; that is
sure. She will cause America trouble
and expense. AS for Spain, new pol
icy and new men are required. The
masses are now profoundly. disgusted
and weary of the present politicians.

The great danger OF the future Is
that these yet undecided but uncon-
trolling elements may be driven into
Carlism or democracy.
THE Philippine question Is bound TO
give much trouble TO America. to Spain
and to the European nations generally.
1t is unwise not to understand that the
Americans have taught the nations of
the Malay race to face the Europeans.
This will tell against any rulers OF our
archipelago. and will be felt in the far
eastern colonies of England. France
and Holland, because the spell of pres
tige has been scattered to the winds.
THE Americans have approached the
Philippines probably without enough
study and preparation. Having been
barely informed by their consuls. they
have committed the egregious mistake
of supposing that the natives are capa-
tions Of self-government and liberty of
conscience.

ONE MORE VICTIM.
But Many Spanish Lives Paid for His
Death.


Death.
Key West, Aug. 11.-One more name
has been added TO the small list of the
navy's victims. News has reached here
that Emanuel II. Koulourie, a coal
passer on the gunboat Bancroft. was
shot and instantly killed during a sharp
engagement with Spanish rihemen in
Cohtis bay, on the coast of Pinar Del
Rio Aug. 2. 1t is not known how many
Spaniards' lives paid for this, but the
Spanish loss was undoubtedly severe.
The Bancroft was cruising about Coh-
tis bay on blockade duty when a sail
was seen close to the land, about 10
miles to the northward. The gunboats
steam launch was armed with a one

son, with IA men, all carrying rifles,

ed that point, the schooner had work.
ed into port and a party of Spaniards
was attempting to haul her ashore. The
launch stood boldly in and a brisk fire
from her one-p -pounder scattered the
crowd. The Spaniards took refuge in
high grass on the right shore, but in
spite of the fact that the party in the
launch was ignorant of the enemy's
strength, the Americans went ahead
with their work with admirable cool
ness.
James Monroe. a first-class appren-
tice, swan to the schooner and made
a line fast to her, in order to pull her
out. At the same time Valdemar Ho-
hengren, an ordinary seaman, dropped
over the side of the launch and made
for a pier, where a small sloop-rigged
boat was moored. The launch then
commenced to haul off the schooner
but the line parted and while another
was being run to her the Spaniards,
who had sought shelter in the woods,
poured in a murderous rifle fire. Koul-
ourie, who was leaning over the side of
the launch, was shot through the breast
and fell dead. Fortunately no one else
was even injured Instantly the men
in the launch began a rapid return of
fire with their rifles, while Lieutenant
Wilson manouvered the launch so as
to take a line thrown by Hohengren
from the small boat which he had SHOW
ed off from the pier. Her bow was
pulled out and the one-pounder was
opened upon the ambuscade with such
well-directed aim that the Spaniards
were routed without a chance to return
the American fire.
The schooner had, in the meantime,
gone hard aground and being so dam
aged as to be almost useless, enough
shells were sent into her to finish her
destruction. She was loaded with green
corn, grain and rum.
Commander Glover warmly praised
the gallantry Of the launch party,
which did not falter under heavy fire,
but directed all its energies to rescuing
Hohengren, who alone on the wharf
was In perilous situation. Koulourie
was buried at sea the same afternoon.

Helena, Aug. 1i.-James Wedge miner

down also and buried alive by the debris
Sennett saved himself by catching hold
of part of the drilling machinery that

most extraordinary ever heard of i'm min

where they were working gave way,
bringing about the cave.
