CUBAN |NGRATITUDE
General Gomez Cannot Tolerate
Americans or Annexationists.
SITUATION AT SANTIAGO
VERY LITTLE SICKNESS AMONG
THE TROOPS.
Eighteen Thousand People Studying
the English Language-Cuban AS
sembly Sends a Delegation to
Neutrality-suspicious. Soldiers Re
fuse to Leave Cuba Until Paid.

Santiago, Nov. 13.-Captain Warren,
an American, who has been with Gen
eral Gomez, says Gomez will no longer
have Americans about him, and is get
ting rid of them as fast as possible.
He takes the same course in the case
of Cubans suspected of favoring an
nexation to the United States The
result is that some of the best men
who were long attached to his imme-
date staff, are not now with him.
It will be difficult, Captain Warren
believes, to get a majority of the in
surgentS to disband. His idea is that
when the American authorities get
control of the other portions of the is
land, they should give out no ratlonS
and punish severely all thefts of cattle
and produce. He thinks, too, that there
may be some trouble with the insur-
gents because of theirs insisting on the
right to courtmartial delinquents
among themselves.
There is very little serious sickness
among the troops here. Everybody is
improving with the cooler weather.
1t is estimated that no fewer than
$4,000 people in this section are learn
ing English, in addition to the school
children.
The greater part of Marina street is
now macadamized This Improvement
is to be extended throughout the en-
tire city, in place Of the ancient cobble-
stones.
The, United States revenue steamer
Manning is now here, with Captain
Shoemaker, chief of the revenue cutter
service, who came to investigate as to
the need for q. vessel for Collector Don
aIdson. Captain Shoemaker believes
that Collector Donaldson's request
should be complied with.
Owing to the heavy weather, the

yacht Hist, viii be placed at the dis
posal of General Wood, commander Of
the military division Of Santiago, for
his trip from Guantanamo along the
northern coast of the province. The

carry it out as projected, and it not
only involved him in ruin, but resulted
in heavy loss to contractors and those
who furnished supplies.
He obtained valuable railroad con-
cessions from the Mexican government,
and, while he had the Utah Central
project in hand, was building the Rio
Grande, Sierra ATadra & Pacific. Here,
too, he became involved in financial
difficulties and abandoned the enter
prise.
Prior to all this, Mr.. Young had been
very successful in London and New
York as promoter. He maintained a
splendid establishment in England and
for time had a palatial home in
Washington, D. c., but the reverses
came with rush and overwhelmed
him. Unable to meet his obligations in
Utah. he went back to London, where
he recently passed through the bank
ruptcy court.
Aside from his operations as a rail-
road-builder, he was. during his faith
er's lifetime, prominent in the Mormon
church, being once a member Of the
presidency.

Paris, Nov. 13.-The Gaulois this
morning says: The acquisition Of the
Philippines for % years by an inter
national syndicate. from whichever
power MAY. eventually acquire them, is
a rumor based On facts Of which the
Gaulois viii tomorrow (Nfonday) give
details.
Following this lead, the Gaulois and
other papers will tomorrow announce
the scheme somewhat on these lines:
A syndicate representing 40O,OOO,000
capital proposes to take over the com
mercial resources and advantages Of
the Philippines for a term of % years,
paying to the dominant power therein
SIPS, 00G, 600 for the privilege.
Under the alleged terms of this
scheme, the dominant power would ad
minister the political and military
government Of the islands at its own
expense, under the apportionment
named, while the syndicate would col
lect all customs and other revenues, Tor
rne term specified. The scheme involves
giving Spain $175, 100000 to satisfy any
real or imaginary claims she may make
as to the territory. This feature is said
to be based on the assumption that the
United States will be the dominant
power.
The remaining 500, 600 900 of this re-
puted syndicate would be preserved as
its working capital.
The sponsor of the project is a Mr..
Young, said to be a son u Brigham
Young, and an attempt is apparently
made to create the impression that the
capital of S400 000, 600 is already under
written.
1t is thought possible, however, if the
alleged syndicate has an existence, that
Americans may have an opportunity
given them to join with it in holdings
of large or small amounts. Whether 1t
proves veritable or not, friends of the
United States here are asking If the
announcement of the scheme is not in
tended to embarrass the Americans by
an offer. real or apparent, OF $500, 900, 900
for limited time, for the use of what
abe Americans may desire to acquire
in perpetuity for a sum relatively nil.
The Americans in Paris put aside as
unthinkable the assumption that the
United States would farm its burdens
or its advantages, if any, in the Phil
ipDines which, If acquired, viii be
taken over as indemnity attending the
discharge of high responsibilities. In
any event, the American commissioners
viii doubtless ask whether the an
nouncemenr is timed to serve the ends
of the syndicate or to hinder the efforts
of Judge Day and his associates to
effect an amicable adjustment of the
Philippine question.

MUTINY IN CUBA.
Spanish Soldiers Will Not Go Home
Until Paid.

Washington, Nov 13.-Adjutant GEN
eral Corbin received a dispatch today
announcing that the Eighth cavalry
sailed this morning from Savannah for
Puerto Principe, Cuba. The regiment
will be the American garrison at Puer-
to PRINCIPE and Neuvitas.
In this connection, an interesting bit
of information has reached the war de-
partment Arrangements have been
made by the Spanish authorities to
send back to Spain the Spanish troops,
numbering $500 men, upon the arrival
of the American garrison. 1t was ex-
pected they would sail next Tuesday or
Wednesday, but an unexpected obsta-
Gle has arisen among the men them
selves. They are on the verge Of mu-
tiny, openly declaring they will not re-
turn to Spain until they have received
their pay, now far in arrears, for sery-
ice in Cuba. The mutiny extends not
alone to the enlisted men, but to their
officers, and is directed against the ex-
ecutive officials of the Madrid govern
ment on the island. Some of the men
have not been paid for nearly year,
and to all of them several months of
pay is due.
The situation has created no particu-
lar concern in the minds of the Amer
lean authorities, as it is not likely ser1-
ously to affect the control of that por-
ton oe the island by the American
forces: but it is realized that those
$500 soldiers, if they should persist in
their refusal to return to Spain, might
become dependents whom it would be
difficult to care for, and ultimately.
perhaps, a menace to good government
on the island. The Spanish authorities
express no fear of their ability to solve
the problem presented, but how they
will solve it if the men, backed by their
officers, absolutely refuse to return
home without their pay, is not clear

MR.. YoUNG's CAREER.
Something About the Man Who
Would Lease the Philippines.

Something About the Man VINO
Would Lease the Philippines.
The Mr.. Young mentioned in the
dispatch is undoubtedly John w.
Young. formerly of this city, whose
checkered career in Utah is familiar to
all. The son of President Brigham
Young. he was. as a young man, asso-
ciated with his father in looking after
industrial enterprises. He established
q. museum here in the early days, and
took great pride in the institution,
spending much money in working un-
tiringly to get together the splendid
collection which for years was adver-
tssed as showing Utah at a glance"
From 1870 to about 1877 Mr.. Young
was engaged in promoting the building
of the railroad that runs from Ogden
to Provo, now forming part of the
Oregon Short Line; the Utah & Ne
Yada branch to Tooele, the Utah &
Northern line into Idaho and the Salt
Lake City street railroad; and, in ad-
dition, he placed an expensive pleasure
and freight steamer on the Great Salt
lake.
His more notable railroad construc-
ton effort in later years in Utah was
the belt line around Salt Lake City and
to Fort Douglas and on through Par
ley's canyon to Park City. This road
was projected to reach the Colorado
state line, and although much con-
struction work was done on it seven
or eight years ago, the extension proved
a failure. This line, known as the
Utah Central, went into the hands of
receivers, and recently passed into the
possession of the Rio Grande Western
company.
This project was a sound one, but
Mr.. Young was financially unable to
