cUBANs WOULD CONTROL
THE NEW GOVERNMENT
Think They sh0sld Be Placed In Charge
OF Afiairs on the Island-oncr Of
Assistance Refused.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Oct. 9i.-Major
Petit. in cSsnpand OF the United States
troops al ManEanillo. and military gov
ernor Of the city, telegraphed today that
the Cuban general. Rios. offers armed
men to assist the Americans in preserv-
ing order. merely asking ratlons in re-
turn.
General Wood sent the following reply:
Certainly not. The only conditions on
which rations are to be issued Is com
plete disarmament and dlsbandment OF
the troops"
Some OF the Cubans here consider that
the United States Is treating Its allies
badly In not allowing Cuban forces to
remain armed. They contend that the
Cuban soldiers who have been fghting
three years. and who speak the language
OF the country. are better fitted for gar
rison duty than UNFRAMED volunteers"
The Cuban general Maceo Rodriguez,
virtually voices the sentiment OF the Gu
ban army when he says:
I'VE thank the United States for the
assistance It has given US. but the time
has now arrived when the cubans should
be placed in the highest Offices and
should prepare to take charge over the
island on the departure OF the Spanish. -

SPAIN DEMANDS RETURN
OF OREGON AND IOWA
Protests Asains. Sending BatiIeshlps .
Aid Dewsy--IEAirsplIttIng Diplomacy
OF vanuuIshed Foe.

CHICAGO. oct. M--A special 70 the
Tribune from Washington says;
Spain has protested against the battle
ships OREGON and Iowa going around
Cape Horn to the Philippine Islands ana
demands their return to the United
States. claiming the action in sendlnx
these ships TO Manila Is violation az
the terms Of the protocol.
The protest was formally submitted 70
Secretary Hay bv M. Thlebhut. charge
d'affairs Of the French embassy. while
President Mckinley was in Chicago at
tending the peace jubilee celebration.
Secretary Hay declined to reply to the
demand until President Mckinley 70
turned. The question is now under con-
sideratIon and II Is believed It was dIs-
cussed at the cabinet meeting but no de-
clslon was reached.
Spain claims that Admiral Dewey's aeet
cannot be reinforced during the armistico
and that the statu quo must be main
tained. This Is probably in retaliation for
the demands made BY this government
upon Spain when It was learned a ship
load Of reInforcements for the island o.
Paay were discovered on the Buenos
Ayres at Singapore.
This government peremptorily demand
ed the return OF these troops. as Spain
neglected TO observe the formality OF
asking permission.
II has been generally understood thar
while sagasra did not give this govern
ment permission to send the oregon ana
Iowa TO Manila. he was advised OF the
Administrators wishes and acquleaeed
in the plan.
This protest is not looked upon here az
an indication that hostllItles are to be re-
newed. but as another evidence OF hair
splitting diplomacy engendered by the
impotent rage Of yanquished foe.

South American coast, participating in a
celebration held by one OF the South
American republics and can be recaIled

SPAIN WILL SUBMIT.

NEW YORK. Oct, 2s-A dispatch to
the World from Paris says:
The Spanish commissioners have been
instructed to delay as much as possible
their aequieseence in the refusal OF the
Americans to accept any part Of spaIn's
Cuban debt. but to do nOtL-ng to give
the American commissioners ground for
breaking OF the negotiations.
The snanish commissioners declare that
circular note will be addressed to the
powers detailing the serious consequences
which the assumption Of the cuban debt
would have upon the solvency Of Spain.
Having done this they viii bow to the
Inevitable, because they have been given
clearly to understand that the United
States will not so a step further with ne
gotiations until she is cleared OF the Gu
ban debt question, and complete evacua-
tion OF the island is positively promised
for January l. 1899.
If the answer from Spain tomorrow is
affirmative, the American commissioners
will make known the intentions Of the
United States regarding the recognition
Of the Philippine debt and the retention
Of the archipelago by the republic.
The French yellow book today fully
confirms the supposition that no Official
communication passed between the United
States and Spain except through French
channels, until the Paris peace commls-
sioners met
What is not generally known is that
Spain has used French diplomacy several
times to elicit from the American gov
ernment, with no success SO far, an ad-
mission of the contention that the pre-
liminary peace protocol did not surren-
der any part of the Spanish rights of SOW
ereignty over the Philippines, or prepare
the way for such surrender.
The state department at Washington
has either declined to reply or has stiff
ly declared that the status quo must be
maintained until the peace treaty has
been signed.
Up to the present time not single
Spanish paper has even hinted at the pos
sibility of a rupture of the negotiations
or renewal of the war, In fact, except
in financial circles, Madrid politicians
consider the peace commission of sec

Political complications in Swain have
arisen most unpleasantly for Sagasta
