Hard Nut For Administration to
Crack.
UNDER ONE DEPARTMENT
GENERAL WADE PROBABLY
WILL COMMAND.
Consensus of Opinion Among Infu-
entail Cubans Is That United
States Government Is Dil1y-dally-
ing Too Long With Spain Over
Evacuation.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The govern
ment of Cuba has given the admins
tration much concern, and it's form is
not yet definitely determined upon.
Since Issuing the order designating the
troops to go to Cuba, there has been
considerable talk at the war depart
ment about the probable commander of
troops and the organization of a gov
eminent, civil and military. The prob
abilities now are that Cuba will be deS-
ignated as one department and placed
under the command of one officer. The
general impression seems to be that
the officer will be Major General Wade,
now chairman of the Cuban military
commission, whose duties as q member
of this commission have fitted him for
the Office. The president and Secretary
Alger have great confidence in General
Wade and believe he combines the mil
itary and civil qualities necessary for
the supreme command in Cuba when
our occupation is complete.
There has been an intimation that
General Brooke, who has been in COM
mand in Puerto Rico, might be selected
for command in Cuba, but such is not
the present intention. General Brooke,
who ranks all the major generals in
the volunteer service, commands only
about 5000 troops in Puerto Rico less
than some brigadier generals who are
in command of divisions, and much less
than several generals in command of
corps. 1t is generally understood that
General Brooke does not care to re-
main any longer in Puerto Rico than
the department actually thinks his SER
vices are required. There has been
some suggestion that General Merritt
might return and take command in
Cuba, but the administration thinks the
selection of General Wade will be
better. General Wade ranks all the
volunteer major generals now in SER
vice, and would rank General Lee in
command of the Seventh corps, al
though the latter viii be in actual COM
mand Of the district of Havana
1t IS possible that the department of
Cuba will be divided into districts,
some Of greater and some of less i'm
portance. The districts would be Ha-
vana, Santiago and Cienfuegos. 1t is
possible that each province will be des-
ignated as a district. The command of
the Second corps is still unsettled. Gen
eral Lawton was at one time selected
for the place, but it was found that two
officers, at least, ranked him, and this
proved rather unsatisfactory.

INTEREST IN OHIO.
Republicans Expect Strong Endorse
nent of Administration.

Cincinnati o., Nov. Especial inter-
est is taken in the election in Ohio
because Of the public utteranceS that
the presidents native state should
show a strong endorsement OF the ad-
ministration at this time by returning
Republican congressman. This is what
is known as the off year" The
dominant party has heretofore lost in
Ohio at the congressional elections fol-
lowing a presidential election and if
the Republicans hold their own on
Tuesday it will be a marked exception
to the rule. The present apDOrtiOn-
ment of the Ohio congressional dis
tricts was made while Mckinley was
governor in 1892. Under this apportiOn-
ment the Republicans, in 1894, elected
10 and the Democrats only two men,
bers of congress. During the admin
istration of President Cleveland in
1894, there was tidal wave in favor Of
the Republicans. At the presidential
election in 1896 the Republicans elected
10 and the Democrats six of the Ohio
congressman. AS this is the historical
'off year" the Democrats claim that
they will make several congressional
gains and the Republicans claim they
will hold their own at 10 to six and pos
sibly make it IS to five. The only
state officers to be elected are secre-
tary of state, Judge and clerk of the
supreme court, food commissioner and
member of the board of public works,
and none of these places carry with
them such patronage as the places
filed last year when Governor Bush
nell was reelected. Next year there
will be elected a governor and q full
state ticket together with members Of
the legislature with no national issues
involved. but the campaign will be
more animated than this year. During
} the present canvass the only issue in
! the presidents state has been the sup
port of his administration.

NEW JERSEY.
Result Said to Hinge On Vote of Es-
sex Gountv

New York, Nov. ct is generally
conceded that the result in New Jersey,
so far as the legislature is concerned,
will hinge on the vote for assembly in
Essex county. 1t is claimed by the
Republicans that the gubernatoTial
result viii also hinge on this vote.
They claim that the Democratic ma
iority in Hudson county will be bal
anced by Republican majorities in
other counties, Essex excepted, and
that as Voorhees, will have from 5000
to 10. 900 majority in the latter county
he viii be elected by that number
While the Democrats admit that Es-
sex will decide the complexion Of the
legislature, they Will not agree that the
election Of governor depends on it. The
homes of both Senator Smith ana Mr..
Crane are in Essex.
With the majorities of Essex and
Hudson coupled, the Democrats claim
that at the lowest estimate Crane Will
be elected by over 10000 majority.
William 3. Gourley, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, said to-
day: 1.-THE Democrats will have a ma
jority Of 10000 in the state and a ma
jority in the legislature on Joint bal
lot"
Chairman Franklin Murphy of the
Republican state COMMITTEES said: Mr..
Voorhees, will certainly have from 5000
to 10000 in the state. l never saw the
conditions more favorable to a big
majoritX."

Many boys and young girls of genteel

NEW YORK
Democrats Held Five Meetings-Re-
publican Estimates.


New York, Nov. democratic meet
ings were held in five different theatres
tonight and all were well attended.
Congressman Lemuel e. Quigg,
chairman of the Republican county
committee said tonight that he be-
heved Roosevelt would have 100000
plurality in the state and that he
would get it above the Harlem bridge.
Il am inclined TO think" continued Mr..
Quigg, that Greater New York VIII
break about even. We are going to
get a. big vote down the east side
The Republican county committee
gave out the following statement to-
night: After careful consultation with
each of the assembly district leaders
OF the Republican party of the county
of New York and with their authoriza-
ton the estimated vote to be cast in
New York county for Roosevelt is 1885,
coo In view of the decreased registra-
ton we believe that the Democrats
viii not be able TO poll g. vote for Van
Wyck in excess of 140,000 We believe
that the Greater City of New York

shall carry the Fifth, Eighth, Tenth,
Nineteenth, Twenty-drst, Twenty
third, Twenty-fifth Twenty-seventh,
TWenty-ninth, Thirty-first, Thirty
fourth and Thirty-fifth assembly dis
tricts. We believe that we will elect
four members Of congress and four
state senators in the county of New
York We believe that the entire
judiciary ticket of the Republican
party viii be elected. Reports from
election district captains show that the
vote for the Judiciary ticket will ex-
coed the vote for the state ticket by
from 10000 to 1900 The estimates
here made are based upon closest can
vases that are to be made in the cleo
ton districts. If these estimates are
correct as we believe them to be
Roosevelt will carry the state of New
York by not less than 100000.

LETTER FROM GOMEZ.
Has No Fear For the Independence
of Cuba


Washington, Nov. 6.-Following is an
extract from a letter received by Sc
nor Quesada from General Gomez,
written Oct. 20: Il have full conf
dence in the solemn promises made by
the congress of Washington, and for
that reason 1 do not have any fear as
to the independence of Cuba Some
time must elapse before our ideal Will
be realized. but after so many strug-
giles and privations, we can wait a
little longer. The military occupation
by the United States is to a certain
extent necessary to prepare and hurry
the evacuation of the Spanish and
bring about harmony among the dit-
ferent factions in Cuban politics.
During this military occupation the
republican government will be organ
lied. It's decisions will be finally &C
cepted by all; order will reign every
where.
Those who speak of annexation try
to satisfy, above all. their spite. pro-
pagating unfounded fears as to per-
sonal security and private property.
THE final success of our struggle
has required necessary destruction or
property, which the enemy used to its
advantage, but we>have never at
tackled individuals.
THE struggle against Spain is now
ended. We commence now more deli
cate and difficult task namely, to make
our republican political system triumph
and to reconstruct the country.
ut is not an easy labor, and all men
who love their country should con-
tribute to it. For that reason, I can
not retire now, notwithstanding my GIL
years.
Most of the officers and soldiers
went into the field obeying my orders;
cannot abandon them until their flu
ture is assured. They have lost every
thing they had; they have a right to
some compensation, and, above all, to
their salaries. The new government
must secure them. Their abandonment
cannot occur until the Spaniards have
evacuated. My men cannot be aban-
doned, without bread or work, to the
mercy of their enemies. A solution
could be found. perhaps, in the plan
which the American government is said
to have of creating a national civil
guard, formed in the majority of Gu
ban soldiers. This organization would
offer the advantage of not exposing
the American troops to the deadly eli
mate of the island, and at the same
time the United States would have
people who know the country thor
oughly. In the meanwhile, and until
the evacuation occurs, food must be
provided for my soldiers
The evacuation should be as rapidly
as possible, and afterward everything
will be arranged, for the American
government viii fulfill its moral
pledges to us. Some people have tried
to make us suspicious, so as to bring
about trouble, but before doubling OF
the faith of the American people, we
must wait for acts which shall give
the lie to their solemn pledge"
