THE CONTROL OF CUBA.


The Question Is Now Receiving Earnest
Consideration.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE recon-
struction of affairs in Cuba. Porto Rico,
and throughout the Spanish West In
dies, is receiving earnest cosideration
in official quarters and at the White
House. Today the president saw a
number of callers ip reference to this
reconstruction in our new insular de-
pendencies.
Major-General Fitzhugh Lee in COM
mand of the Seventh army corps at
Jacksonville, came here on special
telegraph summons from Secretary
Alger, and it was with the latter that
he conferred for an hour with the presi-
dent. 1t is generally expected that
General Lee will head the military
commission which will adjust affairs in
! Cuba, and also he has been strongly
urged for the governorship OF that
island, after the functions of that COM
mission cease. On both of these points,
| however, General Lee asserts he knows
nothing. He admitted, however, that
| he had been talking over matters in
Cuba generally. Then he added:
1.-THE first work which will have to
be done In Cuba will be to make ar
rangements by which all the municipal
machinery can be put in operation in
all the towns, and governmental ma
chinery throughout the island. There
will have to be military control,
suppose, until such time as the peo
pie interested can organize, and put
into operation, a government which
should be stable and strong enough to
impartially protect the interests OF
Spaniards, Americans, Cubans and the
people of other nationalities now on the
island, or who may hereafter go there. .
''Is there pobability of Spanish in
terests suffering there through the
Gubans?'

merchants and all other classes OF
Spaniai naturally would unite with al

SPAIN IN MOURNING
Public Stunned by the Loss of the
Colonies.


Colonies.
London, Aug. 16.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
The comments OF the press on the pro-
tocol are veritable funeral hymn on
the destruction Of the Spanish colonial
empire. Some days ago, tn" desire
for peace made the people close their
eyes to the price, but now, upon read
ing the protocol, they realize that the
cost is the loss of that empire which
Spain had conquered with SO much
glory, and that Spain now falls to the
second rank among nations. The pub
fic mind is stunned and there is general
mourning.
Generl Blanco telegraphs that Hav-
ana is greatly agitated by the news OF
the signing of the protocol, and that
much anxiety is manifested to learn the
conditions, which have not yet been
published. Some uneasiness is felt
regarding the effect that the text ol
the protocol may have on the Spanish
volunteers in Havana.
Many newspapers express grief and
despair that the men who brought dis.
aster to Spain by lack of foresight, or.
ganization and ability, should continue
to govern the country.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1898-08-19

people would be more interested than
they are In maintaining property and
all other rights.
''The most difficult problem Is the
first organization of a preliminary form
of government, as later the island will
be very rapidly Americanized, and all
such questions will take care OF them
selves. AS to the probability OF the
Cubans attaining stable government,
presume that as soon as possible
proclamation will be issued, setting
apart date for the holding of general
election for a chief executive OF the
island, and for a legislative body, to
which all matters affecting the future
of the island will be refefred.

Hawaii Paws Japan.

Washington, Aug. II. = Ministef
Sewall, at Hawaii, has Informed the
state department that Hawaii has paid
to Japan s75, 900 aB indemnity for the
refusal of the Hawaiian government to
allow certain Japanese to land in Ha-
wall at various times during the past
three years, Quite complication
arose over the claim of Japan for large
amount about the time the new treaty
of annexation was negotiated, but this
payment no doubt clears 1t up. Mr..
Sewall says that the payment of s75. 600
referred to was in full settlements OF all
Japanese claims, public and private.

CUBAN ARMY TO DisBAND

Report That the United States Will Pay
the Men Off.
Santiago de Cuba. Aug. ia secret
meeting was held tonight at the palace
between the commanding officers of the
American army, and the Cuban leaders.
The strictest secrecy was maintained,
but it can be said with good authority
that General Garcia was present. The
meeting lasted an hour and half.
The information obtained is to the
effect that the Cuban situation was
thoroughly reviewed. and it was re-
solved to disband the Cuban army, and
the United States should pay the men
off. This will involve the expenditure
of $15, 600, 900. but it is most important
to the prosperity of the island, where
the wealth is almost entirely agricul-
tural, nobody daring to cultivate his
lands while the insurgent bands are in
the field, laiding and burning.

Columbus Is Blamed.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says: The
dominant tone of the press comment Is
philosophical resignation. The educat-
ed classes are not making any attempt
to find scapegoats or to console them
selves with vituperation of the victorl-
GUS enemy. The colonies, instead OF
enriching, have impoverished the coun-
try. Columbus, In discovering the
New World, was not Spain's bene-
factor, but her evil genius. Therefore
one leading paper opposes the sugges-
tion that his remains should be brought
home from Havana.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 17:-The
Snanish steamer Isla de Luzon sailed
this morning for Spain, having oH
board 2,136 Spanish soldiers. The
steamer Isla de Panay will probably
sail tomorrow and she will be followed

tion of the prisoners is being pushed
with great activity. This is rendered
imperative by their horrible condition.
The mortality is SO great In the Span

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Board OF Trade Brokers, i'll to ia Chamber OF
Commerce building. Portland, oregonl
The cash situation, which Is gener-
ally the main element in the market,
shows little change. The der and in
some quarters failed to show as much
urgency. but in others it was fully up
to previous weeks. The scarcity OF
cash wheat, the result of farmers refus-
ing to sell freely, is the underlying
strength. There were numerous bids
of arc over September for No. Q red,
and Sc over for No. Q hard for export,
but sales were slow. No. . red brought
72c and No. hard II $50 free on board.
\ In ordinary years this price would be
an attractive one to farmers, but this
season it is not. What the outcome
will be is puzzle. Farmers may be
able to carry their point and force spec
ulators to pay better prices. A great
deal depends upon the magnitude OF
the export demand The rally at the
last was helped by reports that cash
wheat in Kansas City was up 2 q 4c,
and Minnesota Sc on cash wheat.

prohibiting exports. but it was denied
by export houses in Paris. Receipts
everywhere we're under last years.
The Price Current was rather bull
ish, and London reported the continent
buying cargoes off coast. 1t is said
that practically all the stock of the
contract wheat at Chicago will be ship
ped out before the end of the week.
With no stock there and futures at a
discount there is not much prospect OF
bears making large profits by selling on
the breaks. The government suggests
a spring wheat crop for Minnesota OF
79, 331 900 bushels; North Dakota, 46,
451, 900 bushels; South Dakota, Al
39S, 900 bushels, total for the three
states of I67, 1870, 900 bushels. Last
year they had 100, ,6S6, 600 bushels.
The general belief is that the depart
ment's acreage is too low.
Conflicting reports in regard to the
crop situation in Russia were circu-
! lated. The first received were unfavor-
able. They started inquiries from
other sources. Dreyfus' man at New
York said that the Russian situation
was favorable, though less in some Sec
tions, and deliveries were rather light,
owing to rains having delayed thresh-
ing. D. Bingham's information was
| that the Russian crops were good.
