TO RULE CUBA.
A Woman Debating to a Great
Extent the Future of the
Island.
Nine. Cespedes, Wife Of the Pres
ident During the Ten Years
War
Consulted by All the Prominent
Men Of the Island, Including
Gomez.
Her Son, Carlos Cespedes, Will in
All Probability Be President
of the Island.

HAVANA, May 4.-The future of Cuba
will probably be largely influenced by
a woman, Nine. Cespedes, whose salon
is visited by the best known men, not
only of Havana, but of the entire island.
General Gomez is constant visitor and
welcome guest of this lady, and dimes
with her from three to five times a
week. Nine. Cespedes is the widow Of
the first president of Cuba in the ten
years war. and decisions reached at her
salon are far more effective than any
decree passed by the recently defunct
Cuban assembly. Men of standing who
are devoted to the principle of Cuban
national independence are welcomed to
the salon and assist in its councils. 1t is
believed by persons who are in posi-
ton to know, that full understanding
has been reached by Nine. Cespedes
and General Gomez, regarding Cuba's
future, and the first real president of
the proposed republic, for ali of the
former presidents have had Office with
out power. At one time General Gomez
was seriously considered for the presi-
dency, but after the action of the as
.sembly in assailing his course it was
considered that his candidacy would
probably meet with strong opposition.
AS result of conversations at Nine.
Cespedes' salon it is asserted that the
first president of Cuba shall be Carlos
Cespedes, son of the war president.
The party of General Gomez believe
that it is none too early to begin move
ment in behalf of Carlos Cespedes as
they expect that American occupation
of the island will end before next sum-
mer and probably by April, 1900. It is
represented that Carlos Cespedes pos.
sesses every quality that is likely to
make him popular with the masses
throughout the island.

ANACONDA, Mon, May 4.-The Ana
conda Standard prints an interview
with Marcus DAILY, president of the
Amalgamated Copper company, re-
Gently organized with capital of $75,-
100000. Mr.. Daily says that the con-
troll in the Anaconda company is sold to
the new company, which also owns the
Parrott property, the Colorado property
and the Washoe. Other large proper
ties will soon be added to these holdings
under an increased capital stock. The
company has no relation whatever, as
had been enormously reported, with
Michigan copper property. The prop
critics owned by the new company will
be worked to full capacity and the out
put increased.
Underground Butte" Mr.. DAILY said,
"will be explored and tested with de-
gree of thoroughness and to an extent
never before dreamed Of"
In a paragraph in the interview Mr..
! Daily akia: :
"While I live and manage these prop
critics, there will be no agitation of the
wage question from any end Of the line.
Miners wages will not in any event be
lovas-ed,., This is perfectly we'll under
stood by those with whom / am assoa
ciated. If the Butte property cannot
afford the present wage scale then the
whole organization is mistake, and
feel sure it is not mistake"

The Fearful Cruelty That Makes This

The Fearful Cruelty That Makes This
Dainty q Possibility.
To the ordinary man and woman no
conception of the torture to which the
poor, unfortunate goose is put could
possibly be formed.
The geese when about 8 months old
are taken from the pastures and placed
in an underground cellar, where broad,
slanting stone slabs stand in rows, and
are bound fast to the tables. They are
literally crucifed. ltke<
Feet, wings and bodies are spread
out and bound by bands, so that only
the neck is left free AS may be mag
ined, the animal struggles with all its
might against this stretching, till, after
days of vain endeavor to free itself
from the bands and its position, it's
powers of resistance are overcome. and
a dull resignation, broken only by it's
low cries, takes possession of it. Two
months must pass away before death
brings relief.
The animals are meanwhile crammed
with dumplings made of dough of buck
wheat, chestnuts and stewed maize.
Every two hours, six times day, they
receive from three to five dumping
pills, which in time become so sweet to
the tortured creatures that they stretch
their necks to be crammed.
The most difficult task is to deter
mine the right moment for death.
Those who die of their own accord are
lost to the liver factory, therefore a
kind of study is needed to see when the
cup of agony is trimming full and the
liver is ripe for taking. The bodies of
such ripe q are like pumpkins
where ordii Y fingers are buried in
flesh and fat lining but skin and bone
are found 1Slivers have absorbed all
the strength and juices. ~

SHE WILL FIND OUT.

This Woman's Curiosity Is Only Tenn
rOrarily Suppressed.
He had been out pretty late, and he
knew it, Where he had been, who he
had been with and what he and the
other fellows had been doing are mat
tiers not germane to the story. Suffice
to say that when he opened the door
with his latchkey and made as quiet
an entry as possible he felt in his
guilty heart that the wife of his bosom
would ask him whole lot Of things
which he did not care to detail just at
that time Ee was not mistaken. AS
soon as his wife heard him enter the
chamber she knew instinctively that ne
was trying to ''hold OUT on her and
she asked:
"Where have you been?''
Now, it wasn't part of his plan to
tell her where he had been. The idea
was furthest from his mind, so he tenn
porized.
Now, see here" said the husband,
'as.if you will let me go to~-sleeae and
don't ask me any questions now or at
any other time about where | have
been, I will give you $50 in cash tos
yourself "
This was poser, and the dHtifns
wife natuGally started to reach log the
$50 But feminine curiosity Was a liz
tie too strong, and she did not at once
acquiesce. The next morning, when she
arose, the first thing that caught her
eye was her husbands coat, with one
sleeve torn out by the roots and hang
ing by thread.
"Why, Will. what is this2" she
asked.
"That's loose sleeve, said her hus-
band.
"Well, how did it get loosen" she
persisted.
"See here" he said suddenly, 'do
you ware to lose that $50? If you do.
just keep asking questions about that
If you want to get it, just let the mat
ter drop"
Being a wise woman, she let it drop,
but his friends are making bets that
she will first secure the $50 and then
find out some way how that sleeve got

TIE MASK OFF
Filipino En1issaries No Longer
Pretend to Represent Cen
eral Luna,
But Acknowledge They Come Dl-
rect From Aguinaldo---At-
tempt to Trap Otis
Into Some Sort Of Recognition a
Failure---Aguinaldo Wants
to Surrender
But Will Not Do So Now Except
Upon What he Calls Hon.
Orable Terms.

MANILA, May 4.-Sp. m.-The Fill
pino ENJOYS, Major Manual Argueleses
and Lieutenant Jose Bernal, have aban-
aoned the pretense under which they
came to General Otis, that they repre-
sented General Antonio Luna, and have
announced that they came as represent
atives of Aguinaldo himself. The two
emissaries used all their wiles to secure
a reply from General Otis to the letter
from Senior Mabini, Aguinaldo's prime
minister and minister of foreign affairs
on the dictator's cabinet, which they
presented to General Otis on Tuesday,
but General Otis refused to make any
reply. on the ground that to do so would
be equivalent to recognition OF the So
called government of the Filipinos.
Major Argueleses said that Aguin-
aldo knew he would be overpowered IN
time, but that he would be able to con-
tinue the fight for months, and that he
would do so unless he were given what
Major Argueleses termed peace with
dignity.
Thinks 1t Will Do Good,
Mr.. Schurman, the president Of the
United States Philippine commission,
expressed the opinion that the inter
views accorded by General Otis to the
Filipino representatives will have a
good moral effect, as tending to con-
vince Aguinaldo's representatives that
the American authorities mean to give
the Filipinos a good government and
not one of the Spanish sort.
MANILA, May 4.-1o p. m.-There
was conference lasting two hours be-
tween Major General E. S. Otis and the
ENJOYS who came here from General
Antonio Luna, bearing proposal for a
cessation of hostilities.
General Otis adhered to his refusal to
recognize the so-called government of
the insurgents.
The Filipinos now ask for truce of
three months to enable Aguinaldo to
summon the congress and consult with
the insurgent leaders and others of the
islands. The ENJOYS admitted the con.
tention of General Otis that Aguinaldo
has little control over affairs outside OF
the island of Luzon.
The question of the release of Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the Filipinos
mentioned, Major Manuel Arguelles,
the chief member of the deputation
said that he considered them as being
in the same category with the Amer.
leans, the United States being the sue.
cessor of Spain in dominion over the
island and acquiring by treaty all Span
ish rights and obligations. After the
close of the conference with General
Otis the Filipino ENJOYS had consulta'
ton with the United States Philippine
commission.
