AGAINST THE AMERICANS.-The
banquet to Salvador Cisneros Betan-
court, and Maj. Gen. Jose Rodriguez
was given 10 Havana on Thursday
night. Nearly one hundred covers
were laid. There were many ladies
present. The banquet was given by
the Separatist party, and the leaders
of the independent movement in the
Havana part of the island, were pres
cut Speeches were made against Gen
eral Gomez, who was denounced as q
traitor, and strongly in favor of indie.
pendence. Juan Gualberto Gomez, a
member of the late Cuban Assembly
and man of great talent, made fiery
and really eloquent speech against the
Americans, who, he declared. were
worse than the Spaniards. The latter
came to Cuba four centuries ago for the
avowed purpose of conquerlng the
island. The Americans came in the
nineteenth century in the name OF
civilization to free it, but instead Of
doing so they were crowding the Gu
bans to the wall in every department
of the government. He appealed to
to the Spaniards to combine with the
Cubans for the preservation of the
Latin race and Latin civilization. The
speech was received with tremendous
enthusiasm. The appeal for combi-
nation of Cubans and Spaniards to
preserve the Latin race was evidently
a part of deliberate plan.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 6, 1899

SOME OF the opponents OF SEN
ator Martin VINO persist in posing
as the advocates of the alleged
demand of the dear people"
for the "iuestimable blessing" of
the "blood bought" right OF electing
U. S. Senators by the direct vote OF
every man, black and white, in Vir-
GINA, say the idea of admitting Mr.
Ouay to the Senate will hasten the day
when that demand shall be granted.
Why, Judging from the action of the
Governor of Pennsylvania, OF all the
republican newspapers Of that State, OF
the Jury that acquitted him and OF
the unanimous applause with which
his acquittal has been received not only
by his party in his own, but in all the
other States, if the question were sub
mitted to the direct vote OF the dear
people" of his State, Mr.. Quay would
he reelected by an immense and over
whelming majority. Wise men can
see nothing in the Quay case to war
rant a change in the Constitution so
that Mr.. Martin may be reelected by all
the white and black men of Virgins,
instead of by the members OF the Vir-
einia legislature, as Virginia Senators
ALWAYS have been.

Plumb, who killed Alexander Master

Minister De Frevcinct Resigns.

Paris, May en-. De Freycinet, min
lister of war, has resigned as result o
attacks made on him in the chamber
yesterday. Prof. Duruy, of the Poly
technic school, recently read pro.
Dreyfus paper to his class and was
Kissed for it by the students. NJ. De
Freycinet accordingly closed the class.
In the chamber yesterday he was criti-
cised for his action and his defense that
Duruy was unduly exciting his pupils
minds was scofIed at. NJ. Camille
Krantz, minister of public works, will
succeed NJ De Freycinet. The resig-
nation of NJ. De Freycinet is liable to
retard settlement of the Dreytus case.
Paris, May G.-Considersble excite
ment followed the official announce
ment of the resignation of Minister Of
War DeFreycinet. 1t is not thought,
however, that his resignation will in
volVe as serious consequences as did
the similar action of ex-Judge Beaure-
paire and former Minister of War Cha
nome, whose resignation last October
upset the Brisson ministry. The full
reason, for NJ. DeFreycinet's resignation
are not known, but the effect OF it NAV
be to again sidetrack the revision OF the
Dreyfus case.
