FIRST AMERICAN FIRM.
Real Estate Company Opens An Office
at Havana.

Havana, Sept. 27.-An American COM
pany, styled the Island of Cuba Real
Estate company, has opened business
on Obispo street, Havana. 1t Will deal
in country lots. Note IS made of this
fact as it is the first opening OF Amerf-
can business here under the new order
of things.
One OF the last official envelopes ex~
charged with the Spanish commission
ers treated with the subject of supply
ing relief to the insurgent troops.
The Red Cross society steamer Comal
arrived ct Matanzas today, and the
commissioners appointed Major MIS-
kern and Captain Niles a committee to
distribute the supplies brought by the
steamer Captain General Blanco has
ordered the Matanzas authorities to CO.

button in every possible way.
General Rafael Rodriguez. General
Gomez chief of staff, who is acting as a
special envoy from his commanding Of
ficer, this afternoon had an interview
with Admiral Sampson and General
Wade in the course of which he re-
quested their intercession to induce the
Spanish government to sell to the Gu
ban troops commiSSary stores, taking
in exchange therefore special coupons,
or notes of the Cuban republic. The
commissioners declined to accede to the
request, on the ground that their mis-
sion is entirely foreign to such mat
tiers.
Yesterday and today there arrived
from Jaruco, Bainoa, Aquatic and other
towns in Havana province, about 800
poor and needy persons.

UNPOPULAR ARCHBISHOP.
Cubans at Santiago Want the Prelate
Removed.

New York, Sept. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Santiago de Cuba
SAYS: Owing to the strong animus
shown by the archbishop of Santiago
during the war. more than hundred
prominent CubanS today presented a
petition to General Wood, praying that
representation be made TO the vatican
for his removal, and for the appoint
rnent of Father Luis Mustellier, canon
Of the church here, as his successor.
Father Mustellier has sympathy for the
Cubans, and is well liked in the United
states By Cardinal Gibbons and Arch
bishoS Ireland.
Strong representations have been
made By Father MuStellier TO General
Wood regarding the status OF the
church in the province. lie stated that
the property held amounted to more
than sufficient to cover all ecclesiastical
expenses, and even to contribute to the
state besides. He has also proposed a
scheme Cor the establishment of pa
rochial schools under church manage
ment.
Little doubt is expressed here that
the archbishop will be removed, as,
with his connivance, much church
property has been removed surreou-
tiously since the American occuoa-
ton.

CUBANs FOR POLICE.
Will Be Given the Preference By
General Wood.

Santiago, Sept. 27.-General Wood has
formally completed the organization of
a rural police force for Santiago pro-
vince. 1t is based on the Mexican rural
system, half civil and half military.
There will be mounted privates. with
non-commissioned officers and the
lower grades of officers Cubans and
officers of the higher grades Ameri-
cans. The arms they will have are
machetes, carbines and revolvers. Re
cruits must pass a strict physical and
mental examination and must be of
good character and take the oath ac-
knoWledging the supremacy of the
limited States. Soldiers of the Cuban
army who voluntarily surrender their
arms, take the oath and pass the exam
nation will have the preference. The
force is to be broken up in attachments
stationed in the central part of each
district of the province. Each detach-
ment will be under the command of an
American officer. Pay of privates will
be the same as that of soldiers in the
American army. Officers pay has not
vet been fixed.

FILIPPINos AT WASHINGTON.
President Will Receive Them, But
Not Officially.

Washington, Sept. 27.-General Fran
els " Greene, who was made major
general of volunteers for distinguished
services in the invasion of the Philip
pines, accompanied by his personal
staff and the delegates from the Phil
ippine insurgents, arrived here this
afternoon from Chicago and went TO
the Arlington hotel.
General Greene and staff called at
the adjutant generals office this af-
ternoon and were escorted to the White
House by General Corbin.
The Philippine delegates are DESTROYS
OF comforting with the president, and
the question of their reception was I'M
der consideration at the state depart
ment this afternoon. There is no
doubt but that the president will grant
them an audience in their personal ca
pacity. The delegates We're the center
of much interest at the hotel. Mr.. Lo-
PEE said that no instructions had yet
been received from the Philippine gov
eminent, but these were expected very
soon as a guide to the future move
ments Of the delegates.
When Mr.. Lopez was asked as to the
reports that the Filippinos were So
Letting help from European govern
ments, he declared that such reports
were utterly unfounded and unjust.
They were acting in the most perfect
good faith with the American authori-
ties. AS an evidence of this he cited
the fact that the German consular Of
ficer on the island had requested a con-
ference with Aguinaldo, but that leader
had refused to grant the conference.
Mr.. Lopez also characterized as I'M
warranted the stories that Germany
was secretly equipping the Philippine

COMMISSIONERS AT PARIS.
Diplomatic Sentiment Is Hostile to
Americans.

Paris, Sept. 27.-While the reception
accorded the United States peace COM
mission here is all that could be de-
sired, and while the French foreign Of
flee has taken great pains to treat the
American and Spanish commissioners
in precisely the same manner, it must
be admitted that the general atmo-
sphere of Paris, especially the diplo-
matte atmosphere, does not incline to-
wards America.
1t is the general impression here that
the American commissioners have in
StructionS to provide for the retention
of Manila and the island of Luzon.
And for the commission to pretend to
negotiate is a farce" said a prominent
diplomat. He continued: America
Will put herself, automatically, in the
wrong when she exceeds the provisions
of the protocol, which both nations
signed. l know the Spaniards have
come prepared to make concessions, but
If the Americans instructions are of
an uncompromising nature, which is
generally believed here TO be the case,
you can rest assured that the work of
the commission viii be futile. The
Spaniards will retire and America will
at least have to threaten a resumption
of hOstilities before she will gain her
point
The French newspapers, beyond an
nOuncing the arrival of the commits
sioners, make NO comment upon the
matter
The American peace commission for
the first time since it's appointment
met as body today for two hours in
the drawing-roem of the Continental
hotel. Mr.. Ferdinand W. Peck, the
United States commissioner to the
Paris exposition in 1900, is about to
vacate his quarters in the same hotel.
They We're formerly occupied by the
eX-Empress Eugene and have been
used by Mr.. Peck as offices until his
permanent offices on the exposition
grounds were in readiness.
The suite of rooms which the former
empress occupied at one time will
probably be acquired by the American
peace commissioners. They will be
used for executive sessions and official
headquarters
AS the joint commission is not a de-
Lucrative body it will possibly not or
ganize with a presiding member from
either commission. This is deemed in
some quarters to be the wiser plan, as
tending to promote closer working re-
latlons between the two commissions,
and facilitating an ultimate adjust
nent- Thls, however, is not positive.

HOME RULE FOR CUBA
Spanish Officials Are Being Re-
placed BY CubanS.
SANTIAGO GOVERNMENT
COMMITTEE OF FIFTY NOMIN-
ATES THE OFFICIALS.
They Are Then Appointed By Gen
eral Wood = Police Force to Be
Composed of Cuban Insurgents.
Serious Charges Against Insur-
gents at Manzanillo-Supplies.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 27--The sys-
tenn of civil government established by
General Wood is practically complete
and in good working order. ejor Nc
Cleary, formerly attorney general of
Texas and a Spanish scholar, has been
appointed mayor and the Spanish Off
Gals are giving place to Cubans. Gen
eral Wood says he does not know the
capabilities of the men taking office.
They are chosen by committee OF 90
prominent Cubans whom he believes to
be honest and conscientious.
This committee recommends men
whom its members think would be effi-
cient i'll the various offices to be filled.
The choice of men by the committee
must be unanimous and must be made
over the signatures of the entire so
members. General Wood finds that the
plan works admirably. Lieutenant
Blount has been appointed to codify
the Cuban laws.
Senior Rigney, one of the largest
sugar planters in Cuba, who has ar
rived here from Manzanillo, reports
the conditions there worse than ever.
The insurgents, he asserts, refuse to
grant permission for the carrying on of
work on the plantations and the Span
ish officials decline to furnish protec-
ton to those desiring to work. The
Cubans earnestly request General Wood
to send to Manzanillo food and cloth
ing. They declare there is much suf-
fering there. but private advices re-
ceived by General Wood deny abso-
lutely the stories of restitution and
declare that work is obtainable, but
that the Cubans will not work, and he
has therefore refused to send the sup
plies asked for.
William Stakeman, before the war
American consul at Manzanillo, arrived
here today and visited General Wood.
He recounted many lawless acts on the
part of the insurgents who, he declares,
demand tribute from every one, terror
ize peaceful people and threaten the
confiscation of the property of mer-
chants and planters. Many persons
say that the recognition of the Cubans
has not been granted because the ban
dts make work and progress impossi-
bic. There is a general feeling of alarm
in Manzanillo over the departure of the
Spanish troops and the American SOL
dierS are anXiouSly awaited.

German Trader Insists That HIS
Story Is True.
ARMS FOR INSURGENTS
GERMANS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE REVOLUTION.
Americas Safety Lies In Disarming
the Insurgents Mckinley Will
Receive the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ments Will Not Start Before Mo-
vember-Seizure of the Abbey.

San Francisco, Sept. 27.-The Even
ing Post reiterates its former stories
regarding the supplying of arms to the
Filippinos by the German government,
and is positive that its authority is alb
solutely correct.
The Post publishes an interview with
it's informant. in which he says that
he is not in a position to tell the full
story, for the reason that he is imam
cially interested in the plot, and has
actually been a party to the scheme.
He SAYS that he is interested in the
German Philippine trade to the extent
of nearly million dollars, and that for
10 years Germany has been working
among the insurgents for her own ben
eft, and he also told the Post that there
would never have been a revolution mad
it not been for the German govern
ment.
Continuing, he said: 1.-The arms that
have been supplied came from the I'M
perial government, and were furnished
through the tradingg companies in
which l am interested, so as to conceal
the German hand. The arms that are
now being carried in by insurgent and
German vessels are from the same
source. Aguinalao, who accepted
petty bride TO desert the cause of the
insurgents, has not the money to arm
and equip a big army, and it has taxed
his resources to furnish supplies alone.
MY information is absolutely au-
thentic, as it comes from high officials
of the government who have large per-
sonal interests in the Philippines. Ger
many is supplying the rifles, ammuni-
ton and machine guns that are being
landed, and trouble will commence
when the insurgents are fully equipped.
Americas safety lies in disarming the
insurgents as p move toward the res
tOratiOn OF neace."
