Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 15.-11 p. m.
"A secret meeting was held tonight at
the palace between the commanding
officers o: the American army and the
Cuban leaders. The strictcst secrecy
was maintained, but 1t can be said
with good authority that General Gar
Gin was present. The meeting lasted
an hour and II half. The information
obtained Is to the effect that the Cuban
situation was thoroughly reviewed, and
1t was resolved to lisband the Cuban
army and the United States should pay
the men Off. This involves the eXpend-
iture of fifteen million dollars. but 1t is
most important to the prosperity of the
island, where the wealth Is almost ell
tirely agricultural, nobody daring to
cultivate his lands while the insurgent
bands are In the fields, raiding and

YE OLDE\ DAYS.
Scraps from the Early History of Maine
Recalled in an Interview with IA
Pioneer.

SiXtySiX years ago toward nightfall, in the
spring of the year, patient, yet weary yoke of
oxen plodded onward along the road between
Pittsheld and Palmyra. They had drawn behind
them a big wagon all the way from Skowhegan
containing all the earthly belongings of a pioneer
of northern Maine, who had chopped and logged
in Somerset and Piscataquis counties, and finally
selected Palmyra as home. In the wagon sat a

of them have been spent in one locality. Mr.. j.

suffering for years and having used everything
that was said to be cure for disordered kidneys,
il afforded me great pleasure TO tell Mr.. Libby,
the druggist of Pittshed, some time ago, that if
was not sure could get Doans Kidney Pills
would not part with the stock have at any price.
Hard work in the woods for years and on the farm
doubtless accounts for my kidney and urinary
trouble. An aching back has been common
with NE that almost got used to it. and the
cretions from the kidneys were scanty. irregular
and annoying, particularly at night. Doan's Kid

lated the annoying urinary difficulty. Whenever

inson. Wyman is very small man, quite
lame, who goes about mending umbrellas,
and Mrs. Robinson is an Indian woman.
The parties live in two of the small build
ings at the eastern end of the lower bridge.
Friday afternoon, according to the testimo-
ny,Wyman started to come across the bridge,
when Mrs. Robinson met him and forbade
him walking in her path. The path from
his house to the bridge leads past her door.
AS she stood in the path with a child on one
arm and the other raised threateningly to-
wards him, Wyman struck her in the face
with his cane, knocking her down. This
happened at about 8 o'clock, and at 6, when
a physician arrived, she had not regained
consciousness. Wyman put in no defense.
He was ordered to give bail in $500 for APP
pearance at S. j. Court and was committed
in default

Spanish Contention as to the Philip,
p,}nea Refnfel.

Spanish Contention as to the Philip
pines Refuted.
Paris, Nov. 1O.-Yesterday's session
of the peace commission began at 2:15
p. m. and ended at p. m.When the
meeting opened the Americans pre-
scented to their Spanish colleagues the
answer OF the United States to the
claims submitted ON Friday last in
behalf of Spain. The document in
which the American answer was set
forth consisted of nearly fifty sheets
of typewriter matter. 1t was a refu-
tation of the Spanish allegation that
as the words possession" "owner-
Ship or "cession" do not occur in the
protocol clause touching upon the
Philippine islands, the peace commits
sion has no right to discuss them here.
The Americans also answer the claims
made for public moneys and customs
since the capitulation Of Manila, and
made reply to Spain's claim for in
demnity on account Of the alleged i'm
prisonment by United States authori-
ties of the Spanish troops at Manila,
and for their subsequent restraint
from acting in the service of Spain in
suppressing the uprising.
The Americans in their reply justify
the occupation Of Manila, the collec-
ton of revenues, administering the
government and exercising all the
functions of possession.

New York, Nov. 10. - The latest
figures obtainable indicate the election
Of Col. Roosevelt as governor Of New
York by a plurality of 21,2s6.
Only ten counties in the state
gave Van Wyck pluralities, and they
were all localities swayed by cities,
as New York, Kings, Queens and Erie.
The falling off in Roosevelt's plurali-
ty as compared with Blacks in 1896
is due to q decrease in the Republican
vote up the state of $1,000 and in
Greater New York of 62,OOO. Against
this Van Wyck gained 10000 above
the Harlem and $4,000 below it as
compared with Porter two years ago.
The result on congressman in this
state seems to have surprised even
Democrats themselves. Nineteen Of
their candidates were elected, the Re.
publicans getting but fifteen. In the
present house the New York delegation
stands twenty-seven Republicans to
six Democrats. In Greater New York
all the Democratic candidates were
elected. After the gubernatorial con-
test as much interest was taken in the
state legislature as in anything else.
The state senate was Republican by
four and the assembly by nineteen.
Political. interest from now on will
center about the senatorship. Already
discussion as to the possible aspirants
has begun. So far there is no an
nounced candidate and the Republican
organization has rot yet declared
itself.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
Both Republicans and Democrats
Are Claiming Control

Washington, Nov. II. = Chairman
Babcocll. Of the Republican congress
sional committee, has practically COM
pleted a list of the representatives
elect. The latest authentic advices re-
ccived by the Republican committee
indicates that two districts are in
doubt vet. viz: The Second California
and the Twelfth Texas. In both, how
ever, Mr.. Babcock comedies that the
chances are favorable to the Demo-
Gratis. He claims neither of them. His
figures show the election of 1876
straight Republicans. 1853 Democrats, 6
Populists and 1 Silver Republican.
These figures do not include the two
doubtful districts mentioned. Conced-
ing them to the Democrats as a means
Of reaching definite results, Mr.. Bah
cock claims a majority of thirteen over
all opposition. Little information of q
definite nature was received by the
Democratic congressional committee.
Secretary Kerr maintained that the OPP
position to the Republicans would or
ganize and control the next house Of
representatives. His figures indicated
that the opposition would have at least
$50 votes and perhaps ISL.

St. Paul, Nov. 10. - The complete
count in about two-thirds Of the coun-
ties of the state was finished yester-
day. In others, where but few pre-
cincts were missing, the total or the
majority has been estimated closely.
From some of them nothing at all has
been heard and the voting has been so
cratic all over the state that no at
tempt has been made to supply the
probable majOr.ties in these cases.
Lind's election is conceded by every
body, and it only seems question Of
majority. The table below gives him
1924, and some of the counties where
he may have been expected to run the
strongest are omitted, so that it would
not be surprising if the complete re-
turns should give him in the neighbour
hood Of 10000.
On the remainder Of the state ticket
the returns are even more fragmentary
than on the goyernOrslip and no at
tempt has been made to reduce them
to tables. The counties that have re-
ported their full vote, however, make
it very apparent that the whole Re
publican ticket, barring governor, has
been elected by majorities probably
larger in each case than Lind's, and
there is no reason to doubt that the
three Republican candidates for the
justices Of the supreme court, Messrs.
Lovely, Brown and Lewis, have been
elected. The Republicans make a clean
sweep in the congressional districts.
Tawney's majority will be upwards Of
1000. McCleary has won out by at
least that figure, and probably more
The returns from the Second district
are less complete than in any other
case. Heatwole, in the Third, has car
ried every county but two. Stevens
has a handsome plurality in the
Fourth district and Congressman
Fletcher has more than 5000 to the
good i'll Hennepin. In the Sixth dis
trlct Norris has defeated Towne. The
result is no longer in question and the
majority will probably exceed a thou
sand. Eddy has rolled up in the Sew
enth the largest majority Of his three
campaigns.
The legislature is overwhelmingly
Republican. The vote on governor

CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.
1t Is Claimed by Both Democrats and
RenulIfcanS.

Washington, Nov. 10. - Chairman
Babcock, of the Republican congress
sional committee, says that the house
Of Representatives of the Fifty-siXth
congress will be Republican without
doubt. He said: "rhere can be no
longer any reasonable argument over
the political complexion Of the next
house of representatives 1t will be
Republican beyond the shadow of q
Goubt. Our advices show the certain
election Of 1S5 Republicans; six more
than enough to give us control"
At the headquarters of the Demo-
cratic congressional committee conf
dence is expressed that Democrats
will control the next house of repre-
septatives. Secretary Kerr will not
concede many Of the claims made by
Chairman Babcock, Of the Republican
committee, and says that in a large
number of districts it will require the
official count to determine definitely
the result.
