Manila. In an interview he said: my
country fights and will fight for her

Walter Jennings at the opera house to-
night proved good attraction and in

THE INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA
I1KING OF THE CENSUS Il PRE-
LIMIN1RY STEP.
Monfcipnl Elections and Inauguration
of Autonomy Wherever Practicable
to FO1lOw-The Census Wil Require
Several Months-PrObable Time of
Withdrawal OF A IN rtcnn Troops.

Washington, Aug. 29.-It is expected
that the presidents proclamation re-
lating to the taking of the census in
Cuba will be made public at Havana
very soon. Although it is well known
that the taking of the census is in
tended as a preliminary step to the es-
tablishment of a republican form of
government in Cuba, it is POSITIVELY stat
ed at the war department that there is
nothing in the census proclamation to
justify the assertion that the United
States intends to give immediate indie
pendence to Cuba.
The taking of the census will be fol-
lowed by municipal elections and the
inauguration of autonomy in localities
where it is demonstrated that it is prac-
ticable and expedient. The taking of
the census will require at least two
months constant labor and it is prob
able that the complete returns will not
be tabulated before the beginning of
troops and the termination of existing
military government is not looked for,
at the earliest for several months yet.
The Cubans have been seeking to
commemorate the opening of the first
war for independence, which began Oc
tober 10, 1858, by beginning the taking
of the census on October 10 next, as
the census is regarded as one of the
evidences of Cuba's progress toward
self-rule and independence. 1t was fin
ally decided, however, not to give a po-
lititcal aspect to this purely adminis-
trative duty and the date for beginning
the taking of the census has been fixed
for October 16. The work will begin
simultaneously in all the provinces, and
the enumeration will be accomplished
within a few weeks. Only a few days
will be required for the cities and
towns, but the rural districts and the
mountainous and inaccessible localities
will require considerable time

CHICAGO COLISEUM DISASTER.
Coroner Begins an Investigation to Fia
the Re espomsibility.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Coroner Berz be-
gan to-day an investigation of the'Coli-
scum disaster to ascertain who may be
held legally responsible for the acci-
dent. The coroner discovered that when
the iron frame fell it was being used
to support pulleys for hosting heavy
timbers This discovery caused SEN
sation. A search was then made for
John ]. Johnson, the foreman, with a
view to Questioning him as to whether
the arches had been used as supports
for hosting tackle for the iron and
timbers raised and lowered. Johnson
could not be found, 1t developed that
since an hour after the accident he has
not been seen. His wife is out of the
city and his house is locked. An ac
quaintance said Johnson was despond-
ent after the accident and threatened
to commit suicide.

NEWPoRT GOLF RN.AMENT.
Fast Playing by Foxhau Keane-The
Days scores.

Newport, R. I. Aug. 29.-The open
tournament of the Newport Golf club
began to-day under the most favora BILE
auspices and the preliminary round for
the cups of thirty-six holes, medal play,
was participated in by nearly four
score of players, many of whom gained
national reputation in the game. AS
was anticipated, the play was very
keen and it took 1873 to qualify for the
presidents S cup, while the highest score
for the consolation cup was 191. Fox
hall Keene qualified at the head of the
list for the presidents cup playing a re-
markably fast game for gentleman
who has been devoting nearly all of
the summer to polo and it is proba BILE
that his total score of 1863 for the thirty
six holes will stand for the rest of the
tournament. Champion Herbert H.
Hartman was third in the list for the
game and not attempting any difficult
shots that would lead him into trouble.
Charles Hitchcock, jr., winner of the
last weeks Point Judith tournament,
was one stroke behind Mr.. Keene
The players were somewhat handi-
capped by heavy northeasterly breeze
which held back good drives and un-
doubtedly increased the scores, al
though the limit for the presidents cup
was half a dozen strokes better than
last year, while Mr.. Keenes score Of
169 is the best ever made on the links
in open competition. The interest in to-
morrow's play for the first and second
round for the presidents cup centers in
the matches between Hitchcock and
Hollins and Watson, ,Keene and
Stillman and Wright and Shaw. Owing
to the very large list of entries the green
committee this morning changed the
of play and allowed the sec
ond sixteen in to-day's medal play to
qualify for the consola tion cup instead
of playing a qualifying round to-mor-
row. The scores Of those who qualified
for the two cups We're as follows:
Presidents cup-F. w. Keene, 169; c.
jr., ITO; II. M Hartman, 172;

Berlin, Aug. 29.-The Cologne Gazette
to-day, in an inspired article, replying
to the foreign press, says: after the
failure of Major Panizzardi and Colonel
Schneider to convince the French peo-
pie, Colonel Schwartzkoppen's interven-
tion in behalf Of one innocently SEN
fenced would be futile, especially since
Germany has already done more than
could be expected by Count Won Bue
lows solemn declarations, which were
given as representing the empire and
the emperor, and Colonel Schwartzkop-
pens words of honor in his declarations
in November, 1897, that he never had
any'relatons with Dryfus." The Tage-
blatt says the government might name
the real spy.

"spanked" Helen she was in an upstairs
room. The Snyder boy, who was
"ducked," was unruly and the matrons
could improve him but very little

and the object was to impress the lad
rather than to injure him. Some of the
children had been compelled to eat their
dinners in the wash room by way of
punishment. In regard to the milk sup
ply, which was alleged to have been as
low as nine quarts one morning, Mr..
Adams said that there were three cows
Welding sometimes a total of twenty
seven quarts. He characterized as
"basely false" the testimony OF the lee
men, Snyder and Morrill,, who testified
on the second day that Adams banged
the head of small child against a
bench. the child having picked up a
small bit of ice. Mr.. Adams denied
beating Mikey Doyle with a paddle, but

London, Aug 30.-The Pretoria CORE

taken an alarming turn. Great Britain,
at the request Of the Uitlanders' coun-
ell, has enlarged the original demands
of Sir Alfred Miner, the British high
commissioner, and is adopting the view
of Cecil Rhodes that President Kruger
will never withstand an ultimatum I
have, however, high authority for as
serting that President Kruger, the
Volksraad and the nation will unitedly
resist an unconditional demand for Civ
ing effect to the Miner programme, but
will concede reforms on the cases al

The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: "a pitiable scene was
witnessed at the-railway station to-day
on the arrival from johannesburg Of a
hundred and fifty children whose pa
rents are too poor to come themselves.
1t is estimated that $1,000 persons have
left the Transvaal since the crisis be-
gan. In the house of assembly to-day
the government announced that it was
considering a proposal to afford greater
facilities for women and children to
