DECIDED TO DROP GEN. LEE.
A Sensational story As to the Vir-
ginia Senatorial Race.

Sensational story As to the Vir-
ginia Senatorial Race.
Washington, Oct 2S.-Considerable ex-
element was created here in Washington
by the news which came from Richmond
to-day that the men who are fighting SEN
ator Martin have decided to drop Gen.
Fitz Lee as their senatorial candidate.
This is regarded as an acknowledgment
of defeat, for if they cannot beat Martin
with Lee, they cannot beat him at all.
This race has acquired its special inter
est because of Gen. Lees candidacy. Some
time ago, after consultation with his
friends and these anti-Martin leaders, Gen.
Lee declared himself a candidate for the
seat held by the man who defeated him.
Gen. Lee was then just back from Ha-
vana and there was a wave of popular
enthusiasm in his favor. Now, if reports
from Richmond are to be believed, that
enthusiasm has in a measure died out and
the men who got him in the race should
drop him as they have done, seems to
prove that there is a fall in Lee stock.
In explaining their action these men say
frankly that Gen. Lee mas many enemies.
The principal ground on which they base
their declarations of unaVailability, how
ever, is that he is supposed to be a sound
money advocate, and this to the average
party worker in Virginia is treason Of the
most heinous variety. Gen. Lees friends,
however. do not admit this allegation, and
some are bold enough to claim that Gen.
Lee would declare in favor of free silver
if the support of the leaders was assured
him. The general, however, has never de-
clared himself upon the subject since the
issue became vital one in state politics.
The anti-Martin men are quietly trying
to bring out candidates in different parts
of the state in the hope of splitting Mar
tins vote, but they have little chance of
success.

PEACE PROSPECTS IN PARIS.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS As TO THE
PROGRESS OF NEGOTIATIONS.

Ultimate Pence Likely to he Reach
ed Sooner Than Expected a Few
Days Ago Spaniards Realizing
the Firmness of Amer leans VIII
Probably Let Negotiations Pro-
ceed-PhiIippine Question to BE
Taken Up by Joint Commission
Early Next Week.
Washington, Oct 2S.-The President was
enabled TO lay before the cabinet to-day
very encouraging reports from Paris re-
garding the progress of the peace nego-
tiations. The administration nov fully
believes that the negotiations will be CON
cluded much sooner than was expected
a few days ago. 1t can be stated authora-
tatively that the commissioners have not
yet actually begun the discussion of the
Philippine question, and further than that
it will not be taken up until next week.
Since the Spaniards have found that the
American commissioners mean exactly
what they say and that their presentation
of the side OF the United States is in real
ity an untimatum, the useiessness of pro-
longed debate, it is said. has become ap-
parent to the Spaniards and it is now
believed the Philippine discussion will be
less protracted than expected some days
ago.
The recent action of the United States
government in initiating that the negotia-
tions were proceeding much too slowly
has had its effect upon the Spanish COM
missioners and they are not likely to
doubt remaining propositions to the length
that they did the settlement of the Cuban
debt.
The United States has not assumed nor
guaranteed the sO-called municipal debt
of Cuba or Cuban municipalities, but it is
expected that such debts will be paid by
the municipalities incurring them, for by
no reasoning could they be charged upon
Spain. our government, il is said, in Off
cial circles, would look upon an attempt
at evading the payments of such debts
as repudia ton and dishonesty, and what
ever government is established in Cuba
will be expected to see thai these obliga-
tions are carried out in good faith. More
over, some of the bonds OF Cuban munich
palites are held by citizens of the United
States and the United States might insist
! that the investments of her citizens in
such securities are made good. The state
department has no information as to the
amount Of these municipal liabilities.
Attorney general Griggs and Secretaries
| Gage and Long, on account of their abb
sence from the city. were not present at
| to-day's cabinet meeting. Secretary Hay
| said that the Cuban question had not as
| yet, as he understood, been finally deoid-
| ed by the Paris commission, but COM
plete settlement it was expected, would
| be reached by the end of the present week.
| The Philippine question, he thought, would
| be taken up by the joint commission early
i'm the coming week. Although the mem
| bers of the cabinet are entirely reticent
on the subject of the acquisition of the
Philippines, there is now little or no doubt
that nothing less than the cession of the
entire group of islands will be accepted
by the American commissioners.

seen a great deal Of light upon labor prob

asserted that Col. Roosevelt had been at
least fifteen years behind the times in re-
gard TO all the labor measures which had
been passed for the benefit Of the labor
organizations by the state legislature.

ments during the Spanish-American war

the News and Observer from Goldsboro,
N. c., states that 5000 people attended
the white mems mass meeting at Colds
boro to-day. The meeting was presided
over by William A. Guthrie. Populist can
didate for Governor in 1896, who made
the principal address of the day.
William f. Fountain. formerly chair
man of the Populist state committee and
at present chairman of the congressional
committee in the Second district, declared
his allegiance to the Democratic party in
a speech at the meeting.
Resolutions We're adopted, the preamble
of which cites that in the counties having
a mixed population, especially in BERTHE,
Craven, Edgecombe Halifax, New Han
over and Warren the local government
hos been turned over wholly or partially
to negroes, who fill the county offices,
there being nearly 1000 negroes in Office all
told, 300 of whom are magistrates. That
as result of these negro officials bad gov
ernment has followed; respect for the law
has been diminished and property has be-
come less valuable.
The resolutions ask for the united votes
of the whites. disclaim any intention TO
resort 10 violence, declare frlendliness to-
ward the negro, deny that Conditions JUS

Delegations from nearly al counties of
the eastern part of the STATE We're present

throughout the state will be considerable
and they are more than ever confident Of
success.

GEN. WOOD AT MANzANILLO.
Lieut.. Young Considered a Terror
ana Hero by the PeOnIe.

bS NtAG ICOHles
Manzanillo, Oct. 2S-The United States
government boat Hist arrived tonight,
with Gen. Leonard Wood, commander of
the military department of Santiago. ac-
oompanied by Lieut.. Matthew Hanna.
Col Petit reports that the Cuban
general, Rios, is apparently making every
effort TO prevent the dlsbanding of his
troops
There is practically no sickness in Col.
Petuts regiment and yellow fever has
been unknown here for several years.
Manzanillo is in good sanitary condition.
Lieut.. Lucien Young, the commander of
the Hist, created more excitement on land
ing than even Gen. Wood himself. Crowds
gathered at the wharf to see the young
commander, who, with Lieuts Holm and
Jugen of the Hornet and Wampatuck, de-
feated whole tioula of Spanish gun
boats at Manzanillo on July last. The
people Of Manzanillo consider Lieut.. Young
a nero and terror, and think he ought
TO be an admiral. for although the Span
ish shore batteries in that memorable en-
Sagement continued to lombard the Amer
lean gunboats, it is generally admitted
here that it was the shooting of the Hist
that caused the people to flee to the noun
tains In many part of the city are still
visible the marks of the Hst's shells.
Lieut.. Victor Blue, who has been in
specting the wrecks of the Spanish gun
boats, considers it quite impracticable to
raise them, but ne believes the Spanish
steamer Purissima Conception, which the
Spaniards ran ashore in the hope of saving
her cargo when pursued by an American
warship, can be raised, as she appears to
be in good condition. A local merchant
however, claims to have purchased the
hun and its contents from the Spanish au-
thorities
According to reports from the Cuban as
sembly at Santa Cruz del Sur, Gen. Ca
liXto Garcia has been chosen permanent
chairman of the organization. Gen. Maxi
mo Gomez is expected there tomorrow or
next day, and it appears that the Ces-
pedes faction believes it can count upon
the help of Gen. Gomez to break the au-
thority Of Garcia.
The Cespedes faction expect Gen. Gomez
to appoint a court martial to try Gen
Garcia for offenses covering practically
everything from murder to petty larceny
but the probability is that Gen. Gomez
recognizing Garcia's ascendancy in the as
sembly, will not force the issue.
