A WOMAN OF POWER.
Future of Cuba, it is Said, Will be Largely
Influenced by Madame Cespedes.

The future of Cuba will probably b,
largely Influenced by woman, ant
one who holds salon which is visited
by the best-known men, not only Of
Havana, but of the entire island.
Gen. MaximO Gomez is a frequent
visitor and a welcome guest of this
woman and dimes with her from three
to i've times week. She is Madame
Cespedes and is the widow of the first
President of Cuba in the ten years
war. Madame Cespedes is brilliant
and witty and has lived many years in
Paris. She looks many years younger
than she is.
1t is considered in Havana to be n
great honor to be on Madame Cepedes'
visiting list. Decisions reached at her
salon are more effective than any
decree passed by the recent Cuban As
sembly.
In these gatherings, it is said, there
is no such narrow -mindedness shown
as is exhibited by Cubans of smaller
mental calibre, but men of standing.
who are devoted to the principle of
Cuban national independence are well
coined to the saloon and assist in it's
councils.
1t is believed by persons who are in
position to know that full under
standing has been reached by Madame
CespedeS and General Gomez regard
ing Cuba's future and the first real
President of the proposed republic,
for all former Presidents have had Of
flee without power. At one time Gen
eral Gomez was seriously considered
for the presidency, but after the action
of the Assembly in assailing his course
1t was considered that his candidacy
would probably meet with strong op-
position. The fact that General Gomez
is not Cuban by birth would also tell
against the chances of his election.
even if the new constitution would per
NIT of his nomination.
The result of consultations at
Madame Cespedes' salon is, it is said.
that the first President of Cuba shall
be Carlos Cepedes, her son. The
party of General Gomez believes that
1t IS none too early to begin move
ment in behalf of Carlos, as that Amer
can occupation of the island, it is now
expected, will probably end by
April, 1900. 1t is represented that
Carlos has every quality that is likely
to make him popular with the masses
throughout the island. In the first
place he is the son of his father, and
then he is native of the Provence of
Santiago, which, having been a potent
factor in the Revolution, may have a
claim on the first presidency.
Carlos Cespedes was colonel on the
staff of General Garcia, and has a good
record as a soldier. He is well edu-
Gated and speaks the English, French
and Spanish languages with equal
fuency. He is devoted to his mother,
who in turn idolizes him. Carlos is
about forty years old and unmarried.
In the event of his election, it is said,
he would be socially popular in Ha-
vana and probably for the time being
would dispel all factional differences.
