CuDn'B Future Government.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-The radical autono-
mist deputies in the Colonial House Of Rep
resentatlyes OF Cuba have signed the fol-
owing document, a copy Of which has been
forwarded to Washington:
THE undersigned Deputies OF the House OF
Representatives. in view of the situation caused
by the REIMBURSEMENT Of Spanish sovereignty
over the island OF Cuba. hereby resolve as fol-
lows:
I submit ourselves without reserve to the
events which are being contaminated In the
relinquishment Of SPANS authority and juris-
diction over the island Of Cuba. accepting them
as final. and swearing allegiance to the new po-
litical status. To defend within the limits Of
that status the absolute independence OF the
island Of Cuba. To foster and encourage all
movements which may have for their purpose
the reestablishment Of friendly relations be-
tween Cubans and SpanlaRds. To recommend
to all autonomists the cordial Endorsement Of
our platform. and that they SHOULD take an
active part in the politics OF the island, but
without attempting or pretending to exercise a
controlling influence or power in the manage
ment OF political affairs which logically and
justly belong to those who have always been
the consistent supporters OF the cause OF indie
pendence but that we be ready and willing at
all times when we may be called upon to serve
the interests OF Cuba as best we can.

HAVANA Sept. 25.-It is said here that the
Red Cross steamer ComRl. which was not per-
mitted to land her cargo OF provisions at this
port, will arrive at Matanzas tomorrow. where
part OF her cargo will be landed for the recon-
oentrados. She will then proceed TO Calbarion,
and land provisions for the use OF the Cubans
under Gen. Gomez. Other Red Gross vessels
are expected soon. They will land their car
goes at different ports OF the island without
paying duty.
Gen. Gomez Is pressing the commisslonsby
letters and special ENJOYS to solve the problem
Of importing food free OF duty for the %insurGent
army. Gen. Gomez's plan for the future OF the
Cuban Army has been studied by the Commits
sioners. He wants some land. q plough. oxen
and n little money to be given TO each OF his
soldiers after they are honorably discharged.
He suggests that the land be given from the
vast properties Of the State In the interior Of
the island.
The Cuban Army. though in q starving con-
dition. continues TO behave we'll. Gems. Betan-
notified their men that they will summarily
court-martial any Of them who steal cattle or
seize food from the farmers.
A second issue OF La Esrella Sohtdrio. an in
surRent paper that is published without the
sanction Of the Spanish authorities. has ap-
peared In Havana. The paper SAYS that the
true and only owners OF this country are the
soldiers Of the insurRent army. and yet they
starve when peace is already declared. and 1t
adds that II this state Of affairs continues they
will have to procure food by force.
A letter from the insurgent General. Mario
Menocal. addressed to Captain General Blanco
and sent to the American commission to be do
livered to Gen. Blanco. was returned yesterday
to Gen. Menoeal. with a polite refusal from the
commission to act as intermediary between the
insurgents and Spaniards.
The surroundings ofthe Salon Trocha. at La
Vedado. where the American Commissioners
have their headquarters. are very unhealthy.
An epidemic Of malarial fever prevails there
and several Of the clerks OF the commission are
sick. Admiral Sampson came to Havana this
morning to look for rooms in a more healthful
locality. He was disappointed at not finding
apartments In the city with bathroom.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON. Sept. 26.-All the morning papers
here reproduce the confession OF Count Ester
hazy which appeared in the Observer yesterday.
some Of them editorially accept the confession
as true. but Est0rhazy. as ~foreseen in the de-
spatches to THE Sun, appears already with .
Reputation. This appears in the Daily Nelcs In
the form OF q letter dated Sept. 81. to Mrs. Beer.
the directress OF the Observer. which she did not
print. Esterhazy asked the correspondent OF the
Daily Ne1s in Paris to secure the publication
Of the letter. which he has done. emitting
names from the text. The letter shows that
Esterhazy is very angry with somebody over
the conditions proposed to him In the name OF
the Observer. but though the letter Is long. 1t
nowhere denies that Esterhazy wrote the bor-
dereau or touches the merits OF the question.
In a postscript Esterhazy declares:
Il have not been bought. nor am I to be
Sold" but the phrasing of the letter itself Ia
entirely consistent with the Observers SUCCESS
tion that only some. quarrel. possibly over
terms. prevented him from writing and signing
the confession that he repeatedly made verb
The Daily Ne'rs admits that the Obserper's
statement is most categorical. while Esterhazy's
statement Is wanting in that quality. The
Nerss representative asked him II he denied
that he wrote the bordereau. but he only obs
tanned the letter referred to. protesting gem
orally against the publication OF bis statements
without his consent.

NEW SERGEANT MAJOR.
The sergeant major, j. w.
Beck, enlisted in Company L at
Spearish. He lives at Lanesooro,
Mimi, where he was born August
10, 1875. He was detailed as clerk
in the adjutant's Office in June
When the heado uarters and Second
and Third battalions left San Fran
cisco on the Rio, the late sergeant
major remained with the First bat
talon and Beck vas made acting
sergeant major for the two bat
talions. About the same time he
IA made lance corporal in Com
pany l.. His promotion was the
logical result of his proved ability
and faithful service.
Three dishonorable discharges
have been given to men Of the First
regiment. The unfortunate ones
are Private William A. McNutt,
Company A; Private Henry U
Kearney, Company H; and Private
Charles D. Giles, Company E.
When the regiment moved from
Cavite to Manila, McNutt and Krar-
ney were among those who were
left to guard the property left be-
hind. When Quarternaster Murray
returned he found that a consider
ably amount OF commissaries had
been stolen. On investigation he
satisfied himself that these guards
were implicated. He %perferred
charges and the men we're sent be
fore general courtmartial who
found them guilty and sentenced
them to be dishonorably discharged
from the service of the United
States, FORGETTING all pay and allow
lnces, and to be confined at hard
labor for six months. They will
remain for the present in charge of
the South Dakota guard.
Charles L. Giles has made a
rather bad record since he entered
the regiment. IL is said that his
previous record is some what de-
vious. He has been before the sum-
mary court Tor various offences
several times. At the time Of his
latest trouble he vas in the guard
house. His offence was threaten
ting tn" life of Lieut.. Hawkins, the
officer Of the day. Lieut. Hawkins
preferred charges and Giles got a
dlshonorable disharge and one years
imprisonment at hard labor.
