the question which does not promise
untrammeled independence.
''ln the present exaltation of ficti-
tious victory, believing themselves
capable Of ruling the whole archipel-
ago without advice or assistance from
anyone, they entirely forget, as is
evident from the tone of their official
newspapers, and from their daily
actions, that they owe to the Ameri-
cans the chief elements of success
which they now boast.
"This blind conceit is racial de
feet. 1t is the prominent and con-
trolling weakness of their character.
The revolution was started by the
lower classes, who have, until the
present, provided men and money to
prosecute the campaign. The men
are apparently inexhaustible, butthe
money is wanting. The upper classes
have not yet offered any notable CON
tributions to the revolutionary treas
ury, because they are not convinced
of the ultimate recovery of their
money.
The activity of the insurgents in
the northern provinces, and the total
irresponsible nature of their govern
ment, seriously threaten foreign com
mercial interests there, which are
very important. One English house
alone has over $1,0OO,OOO worth of
products awaiting shipment. Every
body is respondent concerning the
possible action of the proposed con-
gress, and the outcome of the present
strained circumstances"

TOUGH FIGHTING.
story of the San Juan Charge Told by
Soldier Here Sunday.

story OF the San Juan Charge Told by a
Soldier Here Sunday.
How was it at Santiago?' well,
stranger, I'm not a profane man, and
this is Sunday, but I'll tell you, it was
hell
That is the description in a few
plain words, given of the fight at
Santiago by William Foster, regu-
lar, and in Company B, 3rd United
States Infantry. He lives in Memo
mime, Wisconsin, and with a number
of other troops passed through here
Sunday All of them showed signs of
the terrible experiences they had
gone through. Some were wounded
the majority were not Foster had a
hole through his right ankle bone,
made by a Mauser bullet in the
famous charge up San Juan hill. He
was recovering and minded it but
little.
He was jolly and joking and the
people on the train made much Of
him.
While the train made the custom
ary wait here he sat on the steps of d
car and carried on a lively conversa-
tion with a number of people. He
was given fruit but sighed for some
thing to drink. He said he had not
tasted an intoxicating beverage since
before the war.
Foster is a man who is not brilliant
or striking, but is what is called com
monty "swift guy" and was un-
doubtedIy raised on the streets of a
large city. as his vernacular indicates.
His language is picturesque, and he
told the story of the fight in these
words

TROUBLE IN CUBA.

Senator Mallory Thinks the Insurgent
- Army Will Cause Embarrassment.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Speaking
Of the situation in Cuba, Senator
Mallory, of Florida, said to-day: Il
think we are going to have trouble
there before the country is pacified
and conditions assume their normal
shape. | have recently received pri-
Vate and reliable information from
Cuba, and l am satisfied that the
Cuban army will cause us much en-
barrassment before it is disposed of.
The men want money and are in
actual need. They are without the
means tore sumo farming, and prob
ably without the inclination as well.
They think that the United States
ought to pay them, and if it does not,
they claim they have a light to make
their living where they can get it.
"Many of the Cuban soldiers were
practically briSands before they be-
came soldiers. They had lived in the
mountain businesses of the island and
made inroads upon the Spanish

AN ASSASSIS's DEED.

Empress OF Austria a MurGerer's Victim.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, Sept. II.
The Empress of Austria was assas-
sinated near the Hotel Beau Rivage
yesterday afternoon by an Anarchist
named Luigi Laccheni who was
arrested.
Her majesty was walking from her
hotel to the landing-peace of the
steamer about 1 o'clock when man
suddenly approached and stabbed
her to the heart. The Empress fell,
got up again, and was carried to the
steamer unconscious. The boat
started, but seeing the Empress had
not recovered consciousness, the cap
tain returned, and the Empress was
carried to the Hotel Beau Rivage,
where she expired.
Doctors and priests We're immedi-
ately summoned, and a telegram was
sent to Emperor Frances Joseph
All efforts to receive Her Majesty
were unavailing, and she expired at
o'clock.
The medical examination showed
that the assassin must have used a
small triangular file
The murderer, Luigi Laccheni. an
Italian soldier, born in Paris, was
promptly arrested. He declared him
self starving Anarchist, with no
hatred for the poor, but only for the
rich"

secure rooms of such a character that
both the State and city headquarters
can be together.
Mr.. Wellington will remain in Bal
timore a greater part of the time from
now on to the close of the campaign
and will devote his whole attention
to the work. He will hold a confer
ence with the republican candidates
for Congress as soon as the nomina-
tions are completed, and with them
will arrange the dates and places for
the mass meetings to be held through
out the State.

Mayor Malster yesterday afternoon

possessions whenever the opportun-
ity offered. AS the Cubans have al
ways been opposed to the Spaniards,
this specie of brigandage was not
regarded as common robbery, but as
a patriotic resistance of tyranny.
Now, it is probable many of these
men win return to the mountains and
resume their old practices until they
are suppressed by the United States.
THE Cuban people are in very try
ing circumstances, and are probably
entitled to our warmest sympathy,
but if the government fancies they
are going to acquiesce in everything
that we propose to do for their bene
fit, am afraid it will discover that
mistaken idea of the Cuban people
has been entertained.
One of the big questions of the
week which will receive the consider
alton Of the Presidenta his advis-
ers viii be the organization of the
army for the occupation of Cuba. It
has been practically decided to have
three military departments, forming
one grand military division, with a
major general of the regular army in
command, who will perform the
duties of military governor. There
is a possibility that Major-G General
Merritt may be given this joint com
mand, though it was said to-day that
no decision had yet been reached on
this point further than that major
general Of the regular army would be
selected for this duty. The choice is
said to lie between Generals Merritt,
Brooke and Wade.
The three military departments
will be commanded respectively by
Maj-Gen Fitzhugh Lee, Seventy
Army Corps; Maj Gen. Lawton. The
latter is already in command at San
tiago. These detachments will have
their headquarters respectively at
Havana, Santa Clara and Santiago.
The troops in each will be scattered
at different posts throughout the is
land wherever their presence may be
required.
The main question to be settled this
week relates to the volunteers to be
selected for garrison duty in Cuba
1t has been suggested to the Presi-
dent that he use volunteer troops
only for this service. The plans be
ing prepared, however, contemplate
the use of all available regular troops
particularly those at Montauk Point
Orders for breaking camp at Camp
Wikoff will probably be issued during
the present week. Instead of send
ing them all back to their original
posts, as at one time contemplated,
those intended for service in Cuba
will probably be sent to Huntsville
and other points in the South pre-
liminary to the embarkation forCuba.
All of the troops in General Lees
command at Jacksonville will be sent
TO Cuba, as well as most OF the Second
Army Corps now at Camp Meade
The Nineteenth Pennsylvania, now
at Camp Meade, it is understood, has
already received orders to prepare for
service in Cuba.
