LIFE OF THE REBELLION.

Lynn, Mass, Nov. 22.-Edward S.
Chester of this city, formerly private,
who has just returned from the Phil
ippines, where he was two months on
the firing line, says the American SOL
diers, who for crimes of one sort or
another have been dishonesty dis
charged from the army, are officers of
Filipino commands. The rebel COM
manders offer large inducements in the
way of salary and position to any who
will forsake the American army. Ches-
ter says these Americans are a reck-
less class and in a great part to their
energy is due the tenacity of the re-
bellion. He said these American SOL
diers led the Filipinos in several of the
fiercest engagements and play an i'm
portant part in keeping alive the spirit
of rebellion among the remnants Of
Aguinaldo's commands.

CUBA'S MANIFEST DESTINY
a Havana Paper on Annexation fc
the United States.

Havana, Nov. 22.-Civil Governor
Nunez has decided to investigate the
charges regarding the purchase OF
school furniture at eXorbitant prices
without competitive bidding. He has
ordered Major Lacoste to send him all
papers and vouchers in connection with
the matter.
An American syndicate has bought
10000 acres of land near Neuvitas. The
purpose of the syndicate is to establish
a village or settlement for workingmen.
The Spanish steamship Buena Aires
arrived today with six hundred i'm
migrants. There were two cases of
smallpox on the vessel, and she was
held at quarantine.
The Epoca today says that annexa-
ton means for Cuba the entrace into
an established community of a new
convert, disgusted and disappointed
with the empty vanities of separate eX-
istence, and only asking that its pres
ent peace be assured and it's future
happiness be guaranteed. 1T means" 4"
says the Epoca, ''the association of
the strong with the weak on the bases
of absolute equality of rights and the
merging of different elements in new
spirit upon the basis that all that is
good and useful must prevail over all
that is bad and prejudicial in compli
ance with the law of destiny. In all
countries bordering on powerful states,
especially when these latter tend to
display the exuberant and expansive
life which is today called Imperialism,
it is the only honest and rational So
luton remaining to those who, dis
cerning the end from afar and able to
avert it, did not do so, and to those
who, surprised at American interven-
ton, and incapable of appreciating its
transcendental Importance, aided in
placing our fatherland in virtual
crucible."

A LU6AN THREAT
Designed TO Bring The Uni'ed STA teS
TO Terms.

Havana, Nov. 22.-GeneraI Collazo, in
an editorial in the CubanO today, says:
I'VE are only waiting for the decision
of the United States congress upon
which depends the decision that Cuba
herself will reach if the language of the
Americans is not clear. The horizon of
Cuba will darken with tremendous pro-
tests which will rise from all parts of
the island. The Cubans are resolved
that they will not abandon a solitary
right They will not tolerate the calm
diplomatic cheating of Washington.
A worthy people cannot tolerate for
eign interference in their private af-
fairs even when that interference is in
the name of altruism. The Cubans do
not owe the Americans as much now as
they formerly did. Perhaps tomorrow
they will have reason to deny that they
owe them anything at all

FOR TARIFF CONCESSIONS
Active NEGOTIATIONS In Progress
with Brazil.

Washington, Nov. 22.- Active nego-
tiations are proceeding to secure from
Brazil such tariff concessions as will
extend the market for American wheat
and American flour in that country
1t is understood that a proposition to
that effect has heretofore been submit
ted to the authorities at Rio de ia
neiro, and they have sought to accede to
the desires of the authorities ihere.
Definite results having been lacking,
the Brazilian minister in Washington,
Mr.. Assis-Brasil, and Mr.. Kasson, the
United States reciprocity commission
er, have taken up the negotiations in
this city. AS Brazilian coffee enters
the United States free of duty the pur-
pose of the American officials has been
to secure tariff concessions on Amer
lean products going to Brazil, chiefly
flour and wheat, which would adequate
ly reciprocate the benefits enjoyed by
Brazils chief product. While the Bra
to make an arrangement, it has been
pointed out that the Brazilian congress
would have to amend the present law,
and also that a large milling industry
had recently sprung up within Brazil
and was not likely to assent to an en-
couragement to American milling pro-
ducts. One solution which has been
considered is a Brazilian tariff having
a sliding scale, under which the United
States would secure concessions on
| flour and grain in return for advan-
tages enjoyed by Brazil. While the
Brazilian authorities hope that will
prove satisfactory solution, yet there
is a desire here to advance the nego-
tiations to a definite conclusion, and the
matter is being energetically consid-
cred.

TREAT BY MARCUS DAILY.
Alleged to Have Been Uttered Before
Senatorship Fight Began.

Helena. Mont, Nov. 22.-Frank E.
Corbett, Butte attorney, was the first
witness in the Welcome disbarment
case today. He said he knew Marcus
Daily fairly well, and told of meeting
him at the Hotel Netherland in New
York last December. He asked him if
he was going to Montana to attend the
session of the Legislature, and Mr.. DAILY
replied:
mo, it is not necessary for me to go.
1 am out of Montana politics, although
my friends keep up the fight. The
thing is all fixed, and 1 want to tell
you, if Clark ever shows his head in
that legislature, you will hear some
thing drop that will drive Clark and
his friends out of Montana politics for
ever and some of them to the peniten-
tiary.''
Many witnesses testified to the good
character of Welcome and the bad
character of State Senator Clark of
Madison county, the only witness, ex-
cept Whiteside, who acknowledged re-
ceiving money direct from Welcome
for his vote for Clark for United States
senator. The defense then rested

Observation-Disclosures
Commissioner powderIy COnfcm.
plates Making II More Rigid.

Washington, Nov. CT. V. Powder
ly, the commissioner general of immi-
grafton, is considering the means of
having more rigid physical inspection
of immigrants at the principal foreign
ports. 1t frequently happens, he says,
that immigrants afflicted with conta-
gious diseases are discovered in the
steerage on arriving at the ports of this
country. These are refused admission
under our laws, but those with whom
they associated on the voyage across
the Atlantic are permitted to land and
go their various ways throughout the
country.
Commissioner Powderly, in speaking
of the matter, says that from reports
received by him from officials of the
immigration bureau who have made
Investigations. he is convinced that the
examination of immigrants by medical
officers abroad is very perfunctory
affair and is performed at the moment
of embarkation, when the immigrants
pass rapidly before the physician. In
doing so they have scarcely time to
remove the covering from the head.
and unless the physician is possessed
of an 'X-ray' eye it is difficult to de-
tect many of the ailments with which
immigrants are afflicted.

CONGRESS INJUREDIT
Cuba Hampered by Fran
ChiSe Refusal.
The President However Will Make
no Recommendation on The Sub.
jeCt preferrIna to Let the FACTS
Speak for Themselves.

Washington, Nov. 22.-After careful
consideration of the subject, the pres
ident has decided to make no recon-
mendations to congress at the ap-
preaching session touching the repeal
of the legislation which has prevented
the granting of any franchises in
Cuba.
The administration has become con-
WINGED that much serious harm has
been worked to the best interests of
the islands by this legislation, and
that the attempts of the government
of the United States to forward the
development of the industries of Cuba
and advance the condition of the peo-
pie have been greatly hampered by
the inhibition which prevents the
building of railroads or wharves. the
construction of bridges, of trolley
roads, of water and sewer conven-
fences, and of all that class of semi
public works which gives employment
to many persons both in construction
and operation.
The attitude of the administration
officials in refusing to approve the
numerous applications for franchises
which have been made has exposed
them to severe criticism, based on the
presumption that they We're clothed
with discretionary powers in passing
upon them.
This has been particularly the case
in regard to the Cuban cable and tele-
graph system, a problem which con-
fronted Secretary Alger soon after the
adjournment of the congress winch
passed the Foraker resolution pro-
hibiting the granting of franchises in
Cuba. The secretary was fully dis
posed to allow competition in that
line. but, his attention having been
drawn to the expressed intent of con-
gress, the matter, after being dis
cussed in the cabinet, was referred to
the attorney general for his opinion.
That official at once decided that there
was no possibility of doubling the in
IeQllOfl OIL COuSl--SSs 1-AN
president felt obliged to refuse to allow
any competition in telegraphs and
cables which involved the extension of
granted rights to the competing par
ties, and directed Secretary Alger to
abide by that decision.
His action in the matter, being of
negative character. was accepted by
Secretary Root as binding. although
he took the precaution of scanning the
law, and ascertaining that no official of
the administration had authority to do
what the attorney general had held to
be in violation of the act of congress.
1t appears that these facts must be
laid before congress at the approaching
session. though it is certain that the
president and Secretary Root will not
feel it incumbent to do more than to
let the facts speak for themselves, and
will refrain from making any recon-
mendations on the subject.
