military assembly in honor of the aged
Salvador Cisneros. Marquis DE Santa
Lucia, the first president of the second
replblic OF Cuba, and of Gen. MAY ia
Rodriguez, was the occasion for an
anti-American and anti-Gomez demon

and other speakers denounced Gen.
Gomez as traitor to Cuba In having
given aid to the intervening power,
'los Yankees" who were referred to n
terms of dislike and suspicion,
The only voice raised in protest
against such assertions among the
hundred well known Cubans who were
present, including the editors of most
OF the local papers printed in Spanish.
was tina, OF Senior fidel Piena. editor
OF FL independents, who said that
the Cubans would most speedily gain
their independence 10y cooperating
with the Americans, adding, 1.-THE pur-
pose of the United States military au-
thorities is to aid Cuba to prepare for
self government and to leave as soon
after as possible"
Tho local papers continne TO fill their
columns with stories of brigandags
from every part of the island. Some
imply that most of these reports are
unreliable, others seem TO adopt them
by giving them special prominence.
In the latter class are La Discussion
and La Lucha, in the former are FL
Reconcentrado, La Libertad, La Patria
and all the Spanish organs.
According TO a dispatch from Glen.
fuegos, Senior Jicotea Perez a Spaniard
OF high character and standing. disap-
peared on Sunday and Friday his
corpse was found near the city, ter
ribly macheted. The crime is attrib-
uted by the authorities TO the same
band of outlaws that burned the cane

STEEL COMPANIES COMBINE.

Deal 10 Very bar Reaching,

| CHICAGO, May John W. Gates has
confirmed the rumor regarding the
com bination of all the large steel com
psnies in the country and made the rs.
scrtion that the deal was as far reach
ing as the ingenuity OF the minds that
conceived 1t could possibly make H.
Mr.. Gates has just returned from
New York where n recent meeting OF
| the steel magnatcs was held for the
! purpose OF arranging the details. The
president OF the American steel and
Wire Co. said that all the difficulties IN
the way OF the combination had been
removed and that the financing Of the
great combine which will control the
entire steel industry ot the countr,
has been SUCCESSFULLY carried To con
elusion.
The headquarters OF the new com
pany will be in New York, aud ac-
cording to Sir. Gates, the capital stock
will be between $500, 900, GOO aud $780,
GOO 900, and he coolly remarked that
the figure might reach $1,000 600, 900.
The president OF the new company, he
remarked. would be II. {. frick. of
Pittsburgh. who has been so closely
identified with Andrew Carnegie. Re
garding thc other officers he profc.scd
ignorance.
Not the least interesting phase OF
the deal viii be the complete retire
mcnt Of Mr. Carnegie from the steel
industry aud the placing Of his mantle
upon the shoulders of Mr. Frick. In
speaking 81 this Mr.. Gates said that
MIR, Carnegie would possibly no; have
any interest In the new concern, pro.
..dcd the terms lac proposed 70 the
combination were accepted. And I
suppose they have been, he concluded.
else the combine would not now be
an assured fact"
Mr. Gates company, the American
steel and wire, was one Of two con
Germs that held out against the com.
bine until recently. The other 10 said
to have been the Federal Steel Co.
When asked about this Mr. Gates said
the difficulty was really a small one
aud animated that Is was matter Of
price. The company will be ready for
operations by July I, when, IL present
plans are followed. Offices will be
opened. Mr.. Gates objects TO having
IL called a trust and maintains that
not a single element OF a trust enters
into the matter.
Continuing Mr.. Gates said: This 10
simply combination OF all the big
steel companies into ono concern,
which purchases the various plants
outright ~ figures that have been
agreed upon and accepted. 1; will be
n splendid thing for tho Industry aud

Commission.)
have absolute veto power over any
acts of the Legislature and bis cabinet,
and Americans. The Legislative de-
partment will be organized as a result
of the granting of suffrage to the Fill
pinos having property qualification.
The president will be empowered to
appoint the members OF the Judiciary
lust as he will be empowered to APP
point the governor general
What the cabinet officer regarded as
the best feature of the whole matter
was the acceptance of the commissions
proposition by the Filipiono ENJOYS.
1t was learned that before the submis-
sion of this proposition TO them they
had asserted that they did not repre-
sent Gen. Luna, but Aguinaldo.
1t is believed the presentation Of the
commissions proposition was in com
pliance with the request of the Fill
pinos, who desired to know what the
promises made by the United States
really meant The first proposition
made by them TO the commission was
for an armistice, during which the Fill
ipinos proposed to call together their
congress and through that body ar
range for peace.
The proposition was refused without
consideration. 1t was then admitted,
the ga bi m OF nf}icar caid ,b,t ,ha L;1;
pino army was too weak to stand
against the American force, which was
greatly its superior. Aguinaldo, the
ENJOYS declared. is not fighting for the
Independence of the country SO much
as for the honor of the army and they
thought it humiliating that they
should be compelled to lay down their
arms without first understanding what
the United States proposed to do
If the United States persisted in
overriding the Filipinos by force, Col.
Arguelles declared, the natives would
retreat to the mountains and would
continue for years a guerilla warfare,
which would be to the great injury Of
the United States.
Nh Schurman's communication made
deep impression upon the cabinet
meeting, and after the meeting it was
stated that the situation in Luzon,
aside from its military feature, is most
encouraging. In the instructions Civ
en- to Mr. Schurman and his colleagues,
they have been directed TO act in a con-
ciliatory manner toward the insur-
gents.

From member OF the cabinet il !,
learned that this admission was made to
President Schurman at a conference
held by him with Col Arguelles anc
Lieut.. Bernal several days ago. 1t was In
reply to direct question put to them 10y
Mr.. Schurman and the character of the
answer was no doubt as gratifying e
the commission as it is to the president
As result of the dispatch sent by
Mr.. Schurman IT is the confident ex
pectation of the president that the enc
of the rebellion is close at hand. Thi,
result will not be obtained without
concessions, which have been recon-
mended by the commission and which,
by direction of the president, will be
granted. These concessions contem,

house Friday morning laid upon tho
table, by vote OF 80 to =, a motion
10 reconsider tAe vote 10y which tho
bill which seeks To repeal the cuusti.
tutioual convention act was passed
Friday. Il viii pass that body by
an casy majority Monday. Tho
house Is now considering two
important amendments to the
constitution, both IN the Interest
OF the white citizen. One seeks to &c.
yuire that all voters must be able TO
read undcrstandingly any portion OF
the constitution Of the state, but pro-
vided that the provision shall not en-.
tend 10 any citizen whose antccedcnts
prior to 1861 enjoyed the privilege OF
suffrage. This provision is intended
to preserve to the ignorant white voter
his right TO participate in elections
The other bill seeks 10 apply the
school revenues derived from taxes on
property belonging TO white men to
the education OF white children, and
those derived from the colorcd mans
taxes To the education of the Negro
children. As 1t is, the school funds
are distributed equally without regard
to race. although the whites pay prac-
tically all Of the taxes. The indica-
lions appear to be that both Of these
bills will pass. The franchise amend
