The paper will say:
Cuba during the last few months has
been land of many surprises. The latest
is the establishment of royalist marty
The new organization Is unimportant
probably numbering fewer than SO mem
bers, but a well-known Cuban general
who claims to be descendant of Charlie
magne, is reported to be at the head of the
party, and the meeting place is usually
the Inglaterra cafe. The Cuban general
in question is said to be- dissatisfied with
American rule. He thinks that what Cuba
needs is not a republic, but strong hand
at the helm like his own. He is of the
opinion that people of the Latin race pre-
fe~ royalty and the possible honors accru-
ing under a monarchial regime.
THE Cuban general referred to is I'M
derstood to deny that he is the head of
the party, but there is considerable evil
dence that such a movement Is on foot
He is the officer who was recently report
ed to General Brooke for collecting 30
centimes from a Spanish merchant on the
ground that it was an assessment for a
fund devoted to driving out the interyen-
ors.
According to such other reports of this
bombastic scheme as have leaked out, the
promoter had represented that he will
persuade a majority of the alcaldes to
give the movement their support by prom

THE story goes that it would be par
ticularly acceptable to such families as
have already titles from Spain and to
Spaniards residing in Cuba, who, owing
to business or other considerations, have
been compelled to forfeit their patents of
nobility. The promoters of the movement
assert that they expect financial assist
ance from these sources, as the plan pro-
poses to substitute equal dignities for
these that have been forfeited"

IRONY AND DISOAlN,
Dreyfus Showed Great Self Control or
His VOYAGE


Paris, July captain Coffiniere de
Nordeck, commander of the French
cruiser Sfax, which brought Captain
Dreyfus to France, says in an interview
published to-day that he was struck by
the immense power of self control dis
played by Captain Dreyfus during the
voyage. The prisoners attitude
throughout was "one of irony and dis
dain."
He had been suffering severely from
sea sickness when he was transferred
to the Sfax, but he walked with firm
tread, and during the entire trip never
showed sign of weakness or nervous
ness.
Captain Dreyfus was ignorant of the
fact that a new court martial awaited
him, and remained ignorant during the
first part of the voyage. When he was
finally informed, not muscle of his
face moved, he merely remarking:
Il have no ill will against anybody;
l will be glad to enter the army which
/ have never ceased to love-
He never alluded to the matter again
during the entire voyage Most of his
time was spent in reading.

MILITARY DESPOTISM.
Sovereign Charges Rockefeller With the
Occur d'Alene Riot.


Occur d'Alene Riot.
New York, July 2.-Ex-Grand Master
Workman James r. Sovereign of the
Knights of Labor to-day visited the
Central Federated union and stirred up
excitement among the delegates on the
action of General Merriam in the Occur
d'Alene district. He said he had come
as a representative of the organized
miners of the Rocky mountain mines,
and he thanked the New York unions
for the protests that they had made
against the despotism that had been
alleged had existed.
Mr.. Sovereign threw the responsible
ity for all the troubles in the mining
district upon John D. Rockefeller, who,
he said, owned the Bunker Hill COM
pany and controlled other Mines The
manager of the mines, he said, had an
agreement with the miners that when
the prices of silver and lead ores rose
they would pay them union rates of
wages. The prices did rise, and when
the men asked for the advanced rate
they were refused. The men organ
lied and the managers began discharg-
ing them in blocks of 10 and 20.
The ex-grand master workman then
described the gathering of men, their
taking possession of a train and load
ing it with 5000 pounds of dynamite
with which they blew up some of the
works. 1T was the grandest pyro-
technic display that I ever knew of in
my life" he continued, but it had
not been ordered or planned by the
union. 1t was the men themselves who
had been goaded to desperation.
We propose to make a national is
sue of this, because it involves nation
al interests. There may be jealousies
and rivalries among trades unions, but
when the enemy turn the Calling guns
against one union they will turn them
against all unions, and we are of fight
ing blood out West and we will fight
ii out there"

Worth Waiting For.

London, July 2--G. w. Stevens in the
Daily Mail this morning thus describes the
scene at Rennes when Dreyfus arrived:
Mine hours of watching and two min
utes of seeing, but the minutes were
worth the watching, for it was the best
conceived, neatest and quickest bit of
stage management in the history of the
French government. You rubbed your
eyes and wondered If it were real. At a
word you would almost have resumed your
watching again. Bravo, messieurs, the
authorities

Chicago, July 2.-In an interview to-

II believe George Washington was
right. We ought not to enter into en-
tangling alliances with foreign nations.
The question of an Anglo-Saxon ALI

would be suggested were it not for the
fact that a colonial policy would
strengthen those who desire a foreign
alliance"

1T is possible that democratic ideas
are not absolutely welcomed by every
class of the French, but they are GER

people and openly opposed by but an
infinitesimal few. They have thrust
down roots deep into the soil, and are
thriving vigorously and healthfully.
