UNRULY INSURGENTS,
cubans Who Are Fomenting 0ppo-
sition to Our Government.
ADVISE A CONTINUANCE OF WAR.

| At a Secret Meeting OF Leaders, How
ever. at Which General Garcia Was
Present, 1t Was Decided That the
Cuban Army Should BE Disbantied.
Santiago de Cuba. Aug. 16-Trouble
with the Cubans is breeding. Their at
titude is one of sudden hostility to-
wards Americans. The better class in
Cuba favor the annexation of the ISL
and to the United States and a ma tori-
~ Of the masses are ready and anx-
ious to work and accept the shelter
and protection afforded by an American
protectorate; but they are influenced
by certain class of rabid orators and
breeders Of sedition and rebellion
against anything smacking of law and
order.
This infammatory class demands
and urges the recognition of Cuba for
Cubans. and spurns all offers or sug-
gestions tending to prosperity unher an
American protectorate. and excites
popular discomfort This is exactly
the class that pushes itself most into
evidence. and whose views and opin-
ions are most overheard and published
Their advice to the Cubans is to re-
pudiate all offers of peace or a cessa-
tion of hostilities. and to look upon an
armistice as an agreement between the
United States and Spain on their own
account. and not binding upon the free
and Independent state of Cuba, whose
liberating army not only repudiates
pacifcation, but will ignore the armis-
tice to the point of continuing to wage
war and shooting every Spaniard in
the field. :
A Wild rumor Is af1oat to the effect
that the Cuban army will attack San
tiago and capture it, to the glory of
the Cuban arms. as soon as the Ameri-
can garrison Is weakened. This Is di-
rectly traceable to the same source.
The influence exerted by such a body
of men against law and order Is for
midable, and demands suppression
with an iron hand. While still in en-
byro. this influence is already felt
among certain classes, who refuse to
work or serve the government until a
clear statement of the freedom and in
dependence of their country is made
clear
knowledge Of this condition is i'm
Derative to the moulding of the fu-
ture policy and to explain whatever
harsh steps may be rendered necessary
in dealing with the insurgents
secret meeting was held last night
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 information obtained is
to the effect that the Cuban situation
was thoroughly reviewed, and that It
was resolved to disband the Cuban |
army and that the United States should |
pay the men off. This involves the
expenditure of $15.O0O.OOO, but 1t is
most important to the prosperity OF
the island, whose wealth is entirely
agricultural. nobody, planter or farmer,
1aring to cultivate his lands while
Insurgents bands are in the field raid
ng and burning.

wo Need Them In Our Business.

Minneapolis, Aug. 16.-John Goodnow,
consul general at Shanghai. China, in
a private letter, discusses the expansion
policy as follows: "We should hold the
Philippine islands. the Caroline islands
and the Ladrone islands. also Cuba and
Porto Rico. 1t does not matter whether
we call them war indemnity or not. We
need them In our business You have
no idea, and cannot have until you get
out here, where all nations are fighting
for trade. what an intense jealousy
there is of the United States. Just now
the continental peoples seem more jeal-
Gus of us than even Of England. IF
we are to have anything to say we must
have navy. and to have a navy we
must have coaling stations.

pie there must be supplied from the

Tampa and at many other points near

reaches this government that they will
be needed. 1t Is, of course. an assump-
ton only so far that supplies must be
sent to Cuba. Since hostilities began

Mail Censorship Discontinued.

washington. Aug. 16.-The mail SER
vice between the United States and
Spain will be resumed promptly, so
far as this country is concerned. The
two countries being practically at
peace. the officials here see no reason
why mail passing between them should
be opened and censored. as during the
war. and hereafter these restrictions
will be removed. Although no word to
that effect has come from Spain, the
presumption is a similar course will be
adopted by that government. Very
soon steps will be taken by the post
office department looking to the re-
sumption of regular mall communica-
tion between the United States and
Cuba and Porto Rico.

Hong Kong. Aug. 16-General Angus
IL. captain general of the Philippines
arrived by the Kaiser1n Augusta. He
refuses to be interviewed, and will say
nothing more than that he is going to
Spain at the first opportunity. 1t is a
significant fact that while the fastest
German cruiser has brought General
August, she brings only small pack

consul is now In Canton. The precise
facts are not known. but it is supposed
that General August fled from the
Philippines.
