The late strike resulted from the efforts OF few

LOOKING FOR A GAY SEASON AT THE PIER

Narragansett Pier. July (specia)-The season
at this resort has opened. so far as the doors OF
the hotels concerned. although there are few
people here as yet. The Pier is distinctvely not
resort for early crowds but rather the contrary
inclined be the gayest OF the gay later on. when
the season is at its height. July Is generally be-
hind other far the general gayety Is
concerned. which is probably due to the fact that
at other places there Is more inclination toward
cottage life. which naturally brings the summer
colony together at earlier date.
The hotels have been painted and renovated as a
matter OF course and the streets have been cleaned
and put In excellent condition. Up TO within few
days there has been drouth. which had burned
the lawns so that they were yellow where they are
usually green at this season. Within a few days
however rain has come I'm plentiful showers and

THE EPOLTCY FOR CUBA
Secretary Root to Confer With Gen.
Brooke on the Subject.
COL. KENYON TALKS ABOUT CUBA.
The President Much Impressed with His
Views The Matter of suffrage in the
Island Must Bc Carefully
(Onsldcrod.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Gen. Brooke
will be called to Washington to consult
with Secretary Root concerning affairs
in Cuba. The secretary desires to have
the benefit of Gen. BruolIc's knowledge
Of things in the island before he reaches
any definite conclusion as to a future
policy for Cuba. No date has been
fixed for Gen. Brool<e's visit, but it will
no doubt be determined by the devel-
opments of the situation and before
the secretary begins his annual report
to the president.
Col. Kennon, of the Thirty-fourth in
fantry recently appointed, but who
mas been on duty at Havana as assist
ant adjutant general, had long con.
ference with Secretary Root yesterday.
Col. kennon 80 impressed President
Mckinley with the information he
brought from Havana that the prcsi-
dent thought it advisable lac should
talk with Secretary Root. Col. Ken
non assured both the president and
Secretary Root that the course which
Gen. Brooke was pursuing met with
general approval, and was of that care
full and conservative nature required
by the conditions in the island. 1t
was necessary to make radical changes,
but the policy OF the general has been
to make the old tit the new with as lit
tie friction as possible.
As 10 elections ia Cuba. Col. kcnnon
told the secretary that he thought the
time was still somewhat distant when
they could be held to advantage. Bya
provision in the peace treaty, the Span
ish residents in the island were given
one year from the date of exchange of
ratitcations in which To- declare their
preference as to citizenship. Elections
could not be held. hc said, until the
year had elapsed, in justice to this class.
The desirahility of leaving the matter
open was apparent, said Col. Kcnnon,
because Il large proportion of the prop
erty was owned by Spanish subjects, and
if it could be demonstrated to them that
their interests were in becoming Cuban
citizens it would be better for the
future of the island.
Col. Kennon said that the people of
Cuba were fast coming to the conclu-
sion that the interests of all would be
best subserved by the people accepting
Cuban citizenship and by Cuban and
Spaniards acting in harmony and.
while they do not mix well at present,
the feeling of irritation is wearing
away. The matter of suffrage is one,
the colonel said, that must be carefully
considered. The disadvantages which
great proportion of the people have
been under and which have prevented
them from being educated, will make
it extremely hazardous to grant uni
versal suffrage when the time comes
for holding an election.
Secretary Root was very much graft
fed with the information which Col.
Kennon conveyed. The secretary has
been receiving great mass of docu-
ments and data upon Cuba and Porto
Rico. Some of the alleged facts are
diametrically opposed to each other,
and the secretary is now trying to
reconcile the differences and sift the
truth.
