GOOD ADVICE TO THE oUBANs.

1--WE Must Make Useless by Our Be-
havior tho Presence of Strange
Power, and Must Assist Americans to
Complete Their Honorable Mission.' -
Havana, June General Maxine
Comes, former commander-in -chief Of
the Cuban army, issued his farewell
manifesto yesterday. In substance 1t
says:
THE mission l have been entrusted
with ID nearly concluded. l have at
tempted to find solution Of questions
concerning the army which l COM
manded during the bloodiest war
known In America. am now leaving,
regretfully. to attend to necessary
private business.
"A parting word to the people for
whom ! have sacrificed 80 years Of my
life and to my friends in the army Just
disbanded, which action should have
been taken instantly after the removal
of the bloody weight Of SPANS msrci-
less regime. We armed ourselves, and
therefore we no longer want soldiers,
but men for the maintenance of peace
and order, which are the basis OF
Cuba's future welfare.
I'VE wanted and depended upon for
eign intervention to terminate the war.
This occurred at the most terrible mo-
ment of our contest, and resulted in
SPANS defeat. But none of us thought
this extraordinary event would be fol-
lowed by a military occupation Of the
country by our allies. who treat us as
a people incapable of acting for our
selves, and who have reduced us to
obedience, to submission and to a
tutelage imposed by force of circum-
stances. This cannot be our ultimate
fate after the years of struggle, and
we should aid In every pacific method
in finishing the work Of organizing,
which the Americans accepted in the
protocol, and which is as disagree
able for them as for ourselves. This
aid will prove useless without concord
among all the islanders.
We must make useless by our be-
havior the presence of a strange power
In the island and must assist the Amer
leans to complete the honorable mis-
sion they have been compelled to as
sumo by force of circumstances. This
work was not sought by those rich
northerners, owners Of a continent.
l think doubts and suspicious are un-
Just We must form Immediately a
committee or club to be a nucleus OF
a government. This will serve Cuban
interests purely and act as an aid to
the intervenors.
Il, as one Of the first Cubans, al
though one Of our last old soldiers,
and not far from the grave, without
passions or ambitions, call on you with
tho sincerity Of father and urge a
cessation of the superfuous discussions
and the creation Of parties Of all
kinds, which disturb the country and
tend to cause anarchy.
my mission having ended, | will
absent myself temporarily, to embrace
my family, but l will return shortly
to Cuba, which I love as much as my
own land"

WEDNESDAY. JUNE ?. 1900.

The continued division of the
Republican party, the Every Even
ing regards as "sound politics. -
The political differences among the
Democrats are nearly az great as
among the Republicans, yet for the
sake Of office, they manage to unite
on the same candidates. And in its
estimation this is 'sound politics. +"
The men nominated by either
branch of the Republican party,
were certainly just as honorable as
their Democratic rivals and the city
would have been quite as safe un.
der their administration. The talk
about sound politics" is subter-
fuge to deceive and mislead the
voters. A few men who regard
their own aspirations of more i'm
portance than the success OF the
party, may agree with such doc
trine, but the great mass Of prac-
tical men think measures more i'm
portant than individual aggrandize-
ment Reasonable men who want
to accomplish any purpose will
adopt sensible methods and not at
tempt the impossible. When the
mountain would not go to Mohammet
Mohammet went to the mountain.
He was wise in so doing. Would
be leaders should initiate his exam
pie. 1t is folly to tear down your
house or break up your party, if
you don't like some aspirant for
Office. Half loaf is better than
no bread.

May Veto Beet Sugar bounty

Lansing. Mich. June Tt seems
very probable that Governor Pinsrse
will veto the beet sugar bounty bill.
Attorney General Oren gave the gov
erner an opinion last night that the
bill is unconstitutional, for the rea-
son that 1t appropriates money raised
by taxation for other than public pur-
poses. The attorney general, however,
says he believes that the law should
be tested In the courts. The house
yesterday afternoon passed the bill tax
ing copper and iron mining companies,
and it now goes to the senate, where
friends of the bill claim enough votes
to pass it.

cose Sugar Refining company, with the
subsequent absorption by purchase or
otherwise of plants owned by the Ar.
buckle interests and the Docher re-
fineries, with, perhaps, other COM
peting plants.
