4oPEN DOOR NOT FREE TRADE.
Simply Means Equality of Treatment
For Ali Nations.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Chairman
Dingley Of the ways and means COM
mittee, in an interview with Star re-
porter today, explained the open door,
policy as applied to the future COM
merce of the Philippines, in case they
should be acquired by the United
States.
THE phrase open door policy which
is now being talked about so much in
the newspapers" said Mr.. Dingley,
means simply equality of treatment,
and not free trade. AS applied to the
| dependency of a country, it simply
means that imports from all countries
are 20 be admitted on the same terms
as imports from the mother country.
AS applied to the Philippines, it would
mean that imports from Great Britain
and all other foreign countries are TO
be admitted at the same rates of duty
as imports from the United States.
"Of course this policy could not be
applied to the Philippines if they
should be admitted into the Union with
territorial form of government, be-
cause the constitution provides that
duties shall be uniform within the
United States, unless there should be
an amendment to the constitution per-
hitting this. Whether it would be pos
sible to apply this policy to the Phil
ippines after they should become
part of the territory of the United
States under that provision of the con-
stitution which authorizes congress to
make needful rules and regulations re-
speeding the territory or other property
of the United States I am not pre-
pared to say. 1t is noticeable, however,
that in the resolution providing for the
/ annexation of Hawaii, passed at the
last session of congress, it was provid-
ed that the Hawaiian islands tariff
should continue in force until congress
should otherwise determine"

While the cabinet ministers were
most reserved regarding the instruc-

The premier, Senior Sagasta, was asked
if Mondays session would see the close

Washington. Nov. 25.-The lease Of
the elaterfte lands of the Uintah reser-
walton to the Raven Mining company,
which was completed and signed with
all forma1ities by the Indians in Utah,
has now been personally delivered by
them to the secretary of the interior,
and he viii return it to the commits
sioner of Indian affairs with his ap-
prevail tomorrow. The Indians expect
to leave for home tomorrow night.
While in the city, the Indians have
urged the secretary to permit members
of the tribe to hunt on the lands
formerly occupied by them in Colo
RADIO They said that white men
hunted on the old reservation con-
stantly but whenever Indians tried it
they were killed or driven off. The
treaty provides that the Indians shall
be allowed to hunt in these forests,
but the Colorado authorities persist in
not allowing the Indians to violate the
state game laws claiming that the
land is public land and within the
jurisdiction of the state. The president
has Withdrawn about 100000 acres OF
the land from settlement and created
q forest reserve there. Under the law
there can be no hunting within a
forest reserve, and the Indians can
not therefore be allowed in this
region.
At one of the conferences the IN
dams were asked whether they would
accept a money consideration for the
accomplishment of this right. They said
they would and it is probable that the
commissioner will recommend that an
adequate sum be appropriated for this
purpose. The question of whether the
tribe owns the reservation on which
they now are has been answered in
the affirmative and no more commits
sions Will be sent to treat for the sale
of the reservation.

ANNEXATION IS INEVITABLE.
But Cubans Desire Brief Period Of
Independence.

New York, Nov. pa dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: Dom
lingo Mendez Capote, late vice president
of the Cuban republic and now presi-
dent of the executive commission, has
expressed his belief that the future of
Cuba would inevitably be annexation
to the United States. This, he said
was the natural outcome of recent
events, but he denied that Cuban lead
ers have that aspiration. The indie
pendence which so long animated the
Cuban people is to be temporarily sat
isfied. They wish, for a short period. at
least, to see their own flag waving over
free Cuba
They recognize that annexation will
come, and that shortly and by the
unanimous voice of the Cuban people
themselves, but they desire to see the
cause for which they had fought
crowned with the success it deserves.
The provisional government has
been dissolved" he said, in reply to a
question, "and the sole Cuban authority
now existing is the general assembly of
the army That assembly has elected
my colleagues and myself to carry on
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-11-26

the general business during its adj
journment, and principally to take
measures preparatory to disbandlng
the army.
1--WE are now engaged in examining
records and issuing formal commits
sions and certificates to the officers and
men, many of whom were without
these, inquiring into the length of their
service, and generally making the way
smooth for speedy disbandment- When
the commission which has gone to the
United States returns, which l expect
will be in about twenty days time the
assembly will again be called together
for final disposal Of this matter.
THE object of this commission is
two-fold. The first and most important
will be an endeavor to raise a sum to
pay off our troops, either wholly or in
part I may say the United States gov
eminent will be asked to facilitate US
in raising this sum. We will endeayor
to obtain sufficient to pay the army in
full. If that is impossible, we will dis
tribute the sum obtained pro rata and
give note for the balance.
The second object Of the commits
sion is a political one, about which the
only statement l can make is that 1T is
to obtain an explanation of the plans
of the United States government, with
a view of hearty cooperation; also to
put before the government the views
of Cuban leaders.
Il may state eTnDhatically the COM
mission has not been authorized to ac
cede to any scheme of annexation, or
anything save our complete 1ndeDend-
ence. The desire for independence has
never been stronger among the Cuban
people than at present. Our feeling in
this respect is mistaken, and the coun-
try believe. is with US. If q general
prebiscite We're taken today, believe
50 per cent Of the people Of Cuba would
vote for independence.
''At the same time we recognize that
annexation to the United States is in
evitable We believe it viii come nat
urally: that it will be by the almost
unanimous wish of the people, and
that the time will not be long before
this wish is expressed, but we desire
first to see established that for which
we have fought, and for which so
many Of our bravest and best have
given their Hves-the republic of
Cuba.
I'VE believe the United States is go
ing to help us realize this wish. We
have faith that they are bona fde, and
are willing to Go everything in our
power to carry out their views. What
ever reports to the contrary may be
circulated, the Cuban leaders are in
hearty accord with the United States,
and are willing to accede to whatever
may be proposed by the American gov
eminent.
1--WE recognize our Indebtedness to
the American people, and are quite
willing to leave our cause in their
hands, feeling sure that the course they
will adopt toward us will be that di-
rected by honor, justice and right

HOME RULE AT SANTIAGO.
Cid Resident Appointed Mayor and
Offices Filled By Cubans.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 25.-Some
time ago Major McLeary, whom Gen
eraI Leonard Wood had appointed
mayor of Santiago, requested to be re-
lieved of his mayoralty duties and to
return to his military post. The re-
quest was granted today. In the opin-
ion of General Wood it is preferable
to aDDointStO the mayOralty a civilian
acceptable to the Cubans, and ne has
appointed as Major McLeary's sue
cessor Senior Bacardi an old resident
He is anxious to give the mayor as
much authority as is compatible with
military jurisdiction. The new mayor
will conform to General Woods ideas,
which are to give the Cubans every op-
portunity to show themselves capable
| of self government.
The first official act of the mayor was
to discharge the entire clerical force
| in the mayors Office, and to employ
Cubans who had served in the war. He
will shortly issue a manifesto to the
effect that he intends encouraging the
city's development, and giving employ
ment, as far as conditions win permit.
to worthy persons. He will promise to
look closely to the general interests of
the community, and Will call upon all
Cubans to obey the law, and thus pro-
mote the prosperity of the country and
10 insure the happiness OIL us people
General Wood has high hopes of this
first attempt at civil government under
Cuban control.
General Wood has given his aD-
prevail to a scheme of, school for the
higher education of women, similar to
the American normal school. Today
he issued a notice imposing a fine of
| 81, 200 upon any person promoting a
bull fight, and a fine of $50 upon any
promoter of cock fight. In the case
of a cock fight, the fine will fall upon
witnesses, IS well as promoters.
The Spanish evacuation commission
ers today delivered a note announcing
the complete evacuation of the Holguin
division. The United States commits
sioners sent the Spaniards a note, say
ing that the following troops were eX-
pected on or before Nov so: The Eff
teenth Pennsylvania volunteers, which
will be stationed at Pinar del Rio; the
Third New Jersey, to be stationed at
Mariel, and the Two hundred and Sec
ond New York. assigned to Guanajay,
all in the province of Pinar del Rio.
The troops destined for Mariel will be
! landed there, the port affording excel
J lent shelter and facilities for disem-
4 barkation. Those intended for the city
] of Pinar del Rio and Guanajay will
! land in Havana harbor, where they car
make immediate railway connection for
/ these points.

All four companies of the Second regi-
ment volunteer engineers, which ar
rived off Marianao beach this morning,
landed by half past o'clock at the
Marienao wharf, with colors flying.
They formed at the landing-place and
marched to their camp, two miles
away, filing past General Greene and
his staff, who, on horseback, reviewed
the men. Ali the men, with the excep-
ton of five who are still suffering from
seasickness and were taken to the camp
by train, were in line, and are all in
good spirits and fit for duty.
Passports were today delivered to the
aides-de- camp of General Blanco's
staff, who will sail for Spain on the
steamer Juan Forgas on Dec. 8. On the
same steamer, it is announced, will en-
bark General Blanco, General Solano

eVacuatiOn Of the British and said:
Imperialism means a reaction to
the. days of 1881 when the colonial
policy was banished from America by
Washington. Do you propose, Sons Of
the Revolution, to change this re-
public into a conquering empire?"
The greatest excitement prevailed at
this point and the speaker had to wait
for quiet. Then he paid a wonderfully
eloquent tribute to the flag and hoped
it would never float above any country
whose people were unwillingly under
the dominion of this government and
that it never should stand for con-
quest and imperialism, instead of hui
mainly and enlightment. He read sec
tons from Washington's farewell ad-
dress and declared that Washington
was not a fool or fogy, but had pro-
phetic vision of the present situation.

Washington, Nov. pa special
fn2eeting of the cabinet was held at 10
O'Clock tonight All the members were
with the president, except Secretary
Long. who was out of the city. The
meeting was called by the president
in order that his advisers might con-
slider with MIN advices received this
evening from the American peace COM
missioners at Paris. 1t is understood
the advices referred to counter pro
posals informally made to the Amer
leans by the members on the commits
sion Of the Madrid government.
At the conclusion of the meeting,
which lasted only forty minutes, and
which was held in the parlOrs of the
White House, Secretary Hay said to
a representative of the Associated
Press that the president had received
some advices from Paris that he de-
sired to lay before the cabinet. and
that he had called the members to-
gether to consider them. The nature
Of the advices Mr.. Hay declined to dis
cuss as he said, that was a matter
which could not be gone into for pub
LEGATION at this time. He added, how
ever. that after considering the con-
tents of the dispatch, the president
had cabled the American commission
ers reiterating his former instructions.
1t is understood that one point not
in tie negotiations thus far was raised
in the dispatches received by the presi-
dent. 1t related to a modification of
the terms OF the proposition sub
mitted to the Spanish commissioners a
few days ago by the American COM
missioners, but in Just what particular
the proposed modification was to. be
made could not be ascertained. That
the proposition was not accepted was
made clear by the president in cabling
to the American commissioners a re-
iteration Of his former Instructions.
The American commissioners viii in
sist that the demands of the United
sSldays ago be considered without further
modification. That they will be ac-
coded to by the Spanish commissioners
is the earnest belief Of the members of
The cabinet and the president.

General Shafter then detailed the
preparations for the Cuban campaign
and the embarkation for Santiago.
Continuing, General Shafter said:
"War was declared in April, at the
beginning of the sickly season in Cuba.
1t was the express intention of the
president, and he told me so himself, to
delay the war until after that season,
no matter what the public clamor was.
He would not send volunteers into
Cuba during the sickly season"
After referring to the conditions
which made earlier action necessary,
General Shafter told of the embarka-
ton at Tampa, of his arrival at San
tiago with his forces, and said:
L will say right here that there was
no strategy employed. l learned of a
considerable body of Spanish troops in
and about Santiago, which, in round
numbers. l will place at $1,000. l knew
we would have some siclzpess, and |
