PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S PLAN TO DE.
eide CUBAs FATE.
WOULD LEAVE 1T TO CUBANS
THINKS THEY WOULD VOTE IN FA-
vOR OF ANNEXATION.

NEW YORK, July 1.-According to q
correspondent Of the World at Washing
ton, President Mckinley Is working ener-
getically upon a plan to submit the ques-
ton of independence or annexation to the
people of Cuba. He believes that they
would vote for annexation.
Reports from Governor General Brooke
indicate contrary view, but the president
has received confidential letters from in
f1uential representatives of commercial in
terests and from other sources in and
about Havana, which have convinced him
that General Brooke is mistaken, and that
the people in the western portion Of the
island, as we'll as those in the eastern por-
ton, would gladly vote for a territorial
government under the greater republic
These confidential reports reveal a good
deal more discord among the provincial
rulers than Is usually believed to exist.
The policy applied to the government of
the provinces In the western end of the
island-Pinar del Rio. Havana and Matan-
zas-which are directly under the SUPER
vision of General Brooke. Is, for instance,
radically different from that inaugurated
by General Leonard Wood, military COM
mander of Santiago.
The government of Santiago Is looked
upon by the president as more desirable
eral Wood. while here recently, made a
personal report to the president, who in
dorsed his policy and urged its continu-
ance. General Wood, 1t is learned. made
many suggestions, which will be published
for the guidance of the commanders of
other Cuban provinces.
The president inquired particularly as to
the extent of the sentiment for and against
annexation.
II am firmly convinced" said General
Wood that annexation would be carried
by four to one in Santiago. Tine people of
that province, and l believe the majority
of the other provinces, do not want inde-
pendcnce. They have realized many bene-
have given them and are anxious to secure
these benefits permanently.
II have encouraged American enterprises
in Santiago by giving Americans the pref

Complaints of the unwarranted consider

detriment of American interests. have
reached the president from many sources,
and 1t is not improbable that a change in
the administration of the Cuban govern
ment will soon be made.

NEW YORK CIVIL SERVICE.
State Commission Adopted Set of
Rules to Govern the City
Last Night.

ALBANY, N. Y, July 1.-THE state civil
service commission tonight adopted the
civil service rules to govern New York city.
They now go into effect. The rules, with
slight changes are the same that the board
framed few weeks ago and which Mayor
Van Wyck returned without his approval.
In the finance department there are now
sixty exemptions instead of 1888, as former
ly. In the law department where there
were formerly 100 exemptions, the list has
been reduced to seventy-one.
The positions of superintendents of hospi-
tals, almhouses, asylums and training
schools in the department of public char
tiles are made competitive. All other city
departments have been subjected to sim
liar changes. The new rules also take from
the appointing power the right to set aside
persons heading the eligible list and then
substitute Others They require causes for
removal to be filed and sworn certifca-
ton that any officeholder has actually done

School for Them mt Fort
Myer.
From 4 Washington Letter.

From Washington Letter.
General Greedy, of the signal corps, will
establish school at Fort Myer for the in
struction of men of his command, and
where experiments with new inventions
will be made. At the beginning of the
Spanish war the school of this character
at Fort Riley, Kas., was abolished, and
nothing in this line of training has been
given the members of the signal corps.
They have, however, been getting instruc-
tion of the most practical kind in the field,
and this corps has gone through the war
with spotless record
The school will be opened about October
/, when three automobiles which have been
contracted for from Chicago firm will be
delivered. Two of these machines will be
used in connection with the wireless teleg-
raphy. Each will be equipped with COM
plete set OF instruments, and they will be
sent to different parts of the country to
conduct experiments under all conditions
The third automobile will be used for gen.
eral transportation purposes, and the util-
ity of these machines will be given prac-
tical test.
There will be accommodations for at least
100 men. They will be put through a course
of training in the duties exacted of them,
and after a term at this school the mem
bers of the signal corps will be well
equipped for their duties and have great
deal of practical knowledge about cleo
tricity and telegraphy.

HE is AT REST.
lFrom the Armada GraphleO

The family of Samuel Rochefort has
been sadly afflicted of late. About six
weeks ago. Mr.. Rochefort came near
dying from blood poison, as result of
a slight cut on his ankle joint lie
was Just able to hobble about without
a crutch, when their second son, little
Elton, not yet seven years old, was
taken violently Ill. The best medical
skill and tender nursing seemed to do
no good. The second day he became
dellrious, and in the paroxysm of pain
his rawlings of fever and delirium were
terrible. He called constantly for
"mamma, mamma" and the young
mother stood over him and ministered
to his every want until the fourth day,
becoming exhausted, II professional
nurse kindly volunteered to take her
place until his death which occurred
two days later. Words cannot express
the kindness and sympathy of their
friends and neighbors during these
six days and indeed until after the
funeral, which was held Tuesday
June l3, at the school house, where
the little one attended school up to
the day of his illness.
The services at the house were very
solemn and impressive. When the
procession reached the school yard +,
the teacher, Mr.. Churchill, had the
whole school arranged on either side,
forming broad aisle for the process
sion to pass through to reach the en-
trance of the house. The, whole west
end of the room was draped in white,
long lace curtains covered the win.
dows, and flowers were everywhere.
Above the casket, suspended from q
rod covered with fern leaves, were the
words "at rest" The rod was sus-
pended from the ceiling by fine wire
so that it seemed to stand on air. Ell
der Keith, of Yale, conducted the SER
vices. He did not preach, just talked,
but every sentence was sermon. The
beautiful selections and soft tones of
the organ and choir showed that they
understood the solemnity of the occa-
sion. After the ceremonies here, the
procession proceeded to the Yale cem-
etery where the little white casket was
lowered into bed of flowers and fern
leaves prepared by loving hands OF
kind and sympathetic neighbors.
Among the floral offerings was a bas-
ket of white water-lily buds sent by
the nurse who took care of little Elite
during his last sufferings. They were
so beautiful and so appropriate.
Thus rests what is mortal of this
bright and promising child of DEVOTED
parents, but they feel that their loss
is his gain, and rest on the promise of
Jesus, when He said: "Suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid
them not for of such is the kingdom
of heaven"

Tax Title Set Aside.

Early last spring proceedings were
commenced in favor of Reuben Mills
the lumberman, of Marysville, to set
aside tax deed that had been issued
to couple of tax title men of Flint.
1t seems that Mr.. Mills lands had
been returned for nOn-payment of
Drain tax amounting TO $3.50. After
obtaining their deed the tax title
sharks asked $500 for release.
Mr.. Mills, by Harvey Tappan. his
attorney, commenced proceedings to
set aside the deed and upon hearing of
proofs and brief filed the Auditor Gen
eral issued an order requiring the re-
lease of the title upon payment of the
original tax and interest, a total of
$3.50. This has been done and the
title wiped out.
Mr.. Mills had been trying to effect
a settlement of the matter for two
years but finally determined to fight
rather than be robbed and is more than
well pleased with the result.

DANIEL S. EVANS.

Died, at his home in Yale, on Mon.
day, July 10th, 1899, Daniel 5. Evans,
at the age of 20 years. Mr.. Evans
birthplace was in Milton township,
Vermont and in 1S45 he came to Mich
igan where he followed the vocation of
farmer and lumberman for good
many years. In later life when his
health began to give way, his was a
familiar figure in town and country
with his fish wagon. lie was married
twice, three children being born of the
first union, two of whom are now liv-
ing. He had six children by the second
marriage, only one, Mrs. George Wes-
ton, now alive besides his wife to mourn
his loss.
Mr.. Evans was one of the oldest sett-
lers in BrOckway township and he had
made his home in Yale for number
of years. His genial, kindly nature,
his always cheerful and hearty greet
ings will be much missed now that he
is gone. Five years ago he suffered
from shock of paralysis which caused
him to partially lose the use of his
right hand. Some time ago he fell
from his wagon which gave him
further injuries and lately he has had
two strokes of paralysis. He also suf-
fered from hemorrhage of the brain
which caused him eXcruciating pain
during the last week of his life and
which was probably the immediate
cause of his death. The funeral SER
vices were held at the NJ. L. church
of which deceased was faithful mem
ber on Wednesday at 2 o'clock p. m,
Rev. j. B. Keith preaching the sermon.
The interment was made III Elmwood
and the body worn out with pain, was
laid in peaceful rest.
