Execution of Cuban.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 6.-An in
cident has ocrured here which is caus
ing much talk among the Cuhans and
may create ill-feeling. The Cuban

They object to the Government Given
Them by the Americans.
NEW YORK. Nov. General Roy
Stooe, who has just returned from
Porto Rico says:
"The people of Porto Rico are not
at all satisfied with American rule
There il growing difference between
the natives and the militia which il
greatly to be regretted. When the
army of occupation first invaded the
island, the natives received the Amer
leans cordially, and they wished to be
treated as people of tnis country and
not as conquered province. The treat
ment they have received at our hands
has been just the opposite. This has
produced chill.
what the Porto Rlcans want is to
be taken iu as part of the United States.
They do not expect to enter the Union
as state, but as a people in training
to be advanced to statehood. In addi-
tiop to this. they want free trade with
the United States, and there is no
reason that / can see why they should
not have it. At present they are
forced to pay duty on all imported
goods, Spanish goods included, which
were free BEFORE"

SPANISH PROTEST
IGNORED
America Will Hold the
Philippine Islands.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Spain's exhaustive argument against
the cession of the Philippines to the
United States has had the result of
making the officials all the more de-
termined to take the islands. In
structions sent to Mr.. Day chairman
of the American commission will re-
quire him and his colleagues to renew
Thursday their demand for cession
of the group to the United States, and
they will make in their communica-
tion the first offer of money in pay
ment for the islands.
1t is understood that the president
will consult tomorrow with some of
his advisers concerning the amount to
be named in the American communi-
cation, but the sum to be paid will not
under any consideration exceed the
aggregate of the debts contracted by
the Spanish government for improve
ments in the Philippines. All mill
tary debts, and debts contracted in
the name of other, islands, such as
Cuba, will be barred, and the Spanish
commissioners will be informed that
they must recognize this fact as soon
as possible.
Secretary Hay received full state
ment of the context of the Spanish
note. Its character was just what the
officials expected, without any argu-
ments of Importance. Senator Rios
and his colleagues call attention to
the action of the government in de-
livering a note through M. Cambon,
the French ar bassador, to President
which set forth the under.
standing of the Spanish government
that in agreeing to the protocol its
over the Philippines
would not be affected.

REJECT AMERICAN
PROPOSALS
Spain Objects to Giving up
the Philippines Islands.

PARIS, Nov. 4.-The joint session OF
the peace commissioners today lasted
two hours. The Spaniards refused the
proposals made py the Americans on
Monday last, but negotiations were mol
broken off. While it is believed no
formal counter propo ition was made,
there was brief discussion of the
Philippine question outside the lines
of bhe American propositions.
The commissioners then adjourned
until Tuesday next.
The statement Is p inted here today
with much prominence that the
Americans Will Insist upon the i'm
mediate aud complete surrender of
Spain sovereignty over the Philip
piues, and in the event Of the Spanish
commissioners refusing TO agree to
this, Judge Day, acting under instruc-
JiOns from Washington, Will present
an u.t.mat1m to the opaniards. IL is
further ailes ed tnat this seeming haste
is due to a desire to settle the negoLia-
tions before the elections in the United
States takes place.
Gaulois today says it has been in
formed on bsolutely reliable authority
that Spain will refuse to discuss the
surrender of the Philip
pines.
The Fronde says: 1.-THE claims of
the United States on the Philippines
are looked upon with disfavor at
St. Petersburg. The powers might, in
case of the Americans proving too OBJ
'tinate on this point, be provoked to
protest.

LECTURE Us ON GREED.
German Newspapers Espouse the Cause of
Spain.

German Newspapers Espouse the Cause of
Spain.
BERLIN, Nov. The news that the
United States now demands the whole
of the Philippine isla nds has created
much interest here. The German
newspapers comment nnfavorably up
on it.
The Cologne Gazette says: "The
interests of Germany will be especially
injured by the American annexation.
as the policy of the open door which
has hitherto reigned under the Span
sh flag will be quickly ended. More
over, the American demand from
humane point of view is unheard of.
1t means the squeezing of fallen foe
to the last drop of blood, and would
sully the name of the victor. The
whole sympathies of the world would
be on the side of Spain, brutally
ground down by her enemy"
National Zeiting points out that the
Philippine islands would in American
hands, become not only of immense
commercial, but of paramount inn
portaIce, (which all thel powers that
have become interested in the far east
are bound to seriously consider"
Therefore, the National Zeitung
thinks some power may oppose the
change of ownership.
The Vossische Zeitung lectures the
United States for its alleged greed and
the Deutsche Zeitung describes the
United States demands as an unfortu-
nate piece of characteristic Yankee
impudence, and calls upon Europe
to put its foot down while there is yet
time.

LOOK OUT FOR MErEoRs.
Grand free Pryotecnnio display is Due
this Month.

Grand free Pryotechnio display is Due
this Month.
The advance guard of the great
November meteor swarm Is due this
month. and on the nights of 18th, 14th
and 18th astronomers all parts of
the earth will be awake on the look
out. They will be both surprised and
disappointed If a meteoric spectacle,
which may be a brilliant one, is not
beheld by some of the watchers. The
main swarm of the meteors is not due
until November, 1899, but their ad-
vancing columns, broken into paral-
lels and separated by considerable
gaps, occupy so much space on the
celestial highways they traverse that
millions of the mysterious little bodies
must already have reached the neigh
borhood of the earth's orbit, and it
can hardly happen that many of these
will not become entangled by the ter
restrial attraction, and dart their
fiery spears through the upper air
The reader may like to.be reminded
that this, the greatest known ''meteOr
shower" has a period of 334 years;
that the history of these meteors has
been traced back to the year A. D.
125, when the planet Uranus is be-
lieved to have captured the wander
ers ard turned them into permanent
orbit around the sun; that comet
(Tempel's) is known to be travelling
in the same orbit with them, and that
the world was astonished at the mag
nificence of the displays which they
made in 1888 and 1855.
The point in the heavens from which
the meteors appear to radiate is situ-
ated within the curved blade of the
imaginary ''sickle" which marks the
constellation Leo. This is not well
risen until midnight. but late in the
evening meteors radiating from it may
be seen shooting upward from the
northeastern horizon. Observers
are advised to begin watching for
them about IL p. M, on November II,
keeping up the watch for FIVE nights
altogether and continuing it until the
morning twilights begin. Forum
ately, there will be no trouble from
the moon, which is NEW" on the
9th.

THE LAST SAD RITES.
Remains of Phil BrogaD Laid In the
Tomb,

Remains OF Phil Br0gaD Laid In the
Tomb.
The last services that friend can do
a friend was today performed by the
friends of the late Phil Brogan.
At 9 o'clock the funeral cortege left
the family residence on Fourth street
and proceeded to St. Peters Catholic
church, where the impressive SER
vice, high mass Of requiem, was OBJ
served.
Rev. Father Bronsgeest delivered q
touching and eloquent address, one
that will long be remembered by the
large nun Der of sorrowing friends who
were present. Father Bronsgeest and
the deceased had been warm friends
for many years; and none could more
truly bespeak his noble qualities than
the priest who had known him so
intimately for years. Truly could he
tell OF his worth as a citizen, his love
of home and family, and his devotion
to the church. =
At the conclusion of the sermon, the
pail bearers, Messrs. j. Malone. Don
aid McRae, M. T. Nolan, Alex Nc
Lellan. AL. Bettingen and Fl. ]. Maier
carried the casket from the church,
while hundreds of heads were bowed
in sorrow for the departed friend and
neigh Dor.
AL the grave an impressive prayer
was offered for the dead, and the tomb
was covered with beautiful cut flowers,
offerings of affection that spoke louder
than words of ths friendly ties
that bound the dead to the living.

half Dozen Attachments on Black Cloud

WALLACE, Idaho. Nov. 6.-Half
dozen attachments were filed against
the Wallace Mining Company today.
and others are being prepared. The
company is the owner OF the Black
Cloud and Iowa lodes and millsites and
the Black Cloud concentrator, situated
on Nine Mile and two miles north of
Wallace. The stock is all held east,
mostly by New York men, being re-
presented here by an agent. The con-
centrator was built last summer but
when it started up the Gre was two
lean to pay for milling. Since then
work has progressed on lower tunnel
in the hope that when it cut the lead
the ore would be better. There was
lots of good ore in the upper workings,
but it was mostly carbonate and the
loss in milling was too great.

General Wood VIII Place Them Under
Arrest For vagrancy.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 4.-The
Cubans, who have been employed in
cleaning and repairing the streets of
Santiago. have struck for higher pay,
though they have been receiving a
dollar day, or SO cents and two ra-
tions, which is higher wages than have
ever before been paid for similar work.
In fact, the local employers of labor
have been com planning of this high
rate, alleging that it was quite impos-
sible for them to compete with the
government on such terms. The Gu
ban laborers, at the best, are lazy and
slipshod. They want an increase of
so ,.enfs a day.
General Leonard Wood absolutely
refuses to accede to the demand, and
will adopt heroic measures. if the
strike is not promptly declared off.
The trouble is that many of the stri-
kers have rations enough on hand to
last month or more. and they think
they can coerce the United States au.

American Troops May Have to Fight
Philippine Insurgents.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA dispatch tn
the Herald from Washington says:
Major Simpson, of General Merritt's
staff has just returned from Manila,
and though personally he does not
seem to fear serious trouble with the
forces of Aguinaldo. be says there is a
distinct sentiment among the United
States troops that there may be more
trouble and that more troops may be
needed.
Aguinaldo's force is reckoned at
about 10000. and Major Simnson freely
admits that the rebels are in control
of the island of Luzon.
The recent attack on Iloiio by the
forces OF Aguinaldo recalled to Major
Simpson the fact that Aguinaldo had
some transports, and that about 500 of
the Luzon troops had been carried to
the island of Panav. On the island of
Mindanao. the situation is not UNDER
stood, as the inhabitants are mostly
Mohammedans. Little or no investi-
cation of the situation there has been
made by our army. Back in the hills
of LuzUn many tribes are almost un-
civilized. and have never felt the force
of either the insurgents or Spaniards.
