General Otis Is Prepared for Ali
Eventualities ut Manila:
Manila, Jan. 1.-THE situation Is
rapidly approaching u climax, and it is
just possible that today will see d
peaceful solution.
Meanwhile all sorts of alarmist fu.
mors are in circulation. The United
States authorities are taking every
precaution; the troops in quarters are
under arms, and the Californians have
disembarked from the transports.
The natives; it is reported, have been
ordered not to work for the Amer
leans, and the employees of the commits:
sary department have gone on a strike.
Natives are leaving the city:
General Otis, however, has the whole
situation thoroughly in hand.

President McKinley's instructions;

but it is alleged to have been recalled.
Its terms are much more vehement
than those used in the first proclanid-

Americans from the islands; calls tho

be on their heads if it is shed, and de-
tails at greater length the promises lie

Washington. Jan. 11.--1he Cuban
commission, whose work has been
somewhat at a standstill fot the past
three OF four weeks, owing to the
death of General Garcia and to the
holiday season, as well as the illness OF
some of the members and her families;
will enter upon its active labors this
week.
Senior Nillalon and DIR. Lanuza, who
have been in New York for some days
past, have returned, as has also General
Jose Gomez, who went to Havana
about two weeks ago i'm connection
with some important matters regard
ing the work of the commission and
for the purpose of comforting with
some of the representative Cuban lead
ers in Havana. General Gomez who
has just returned from Havana, said:
1T is no more than is to be expected
that a large portion of the Cuban
people should at first reject the idea of
amy foreign domination. 1t is that
which they have been so long striving
to shake off, and it is only necessary
to convince them that The Americans
are not Spaniards, and that the more
content they remain the sooner will
there be absolute independence, to in
sure peace and tranquility under the
American authority. I'm my opinion it
is far better that their absolute indc-
pendence should come by degrees.
"This independence and se1f-govern=
ment they are gradually gaining by
the appointment of representative Cu-
bans to offices, and as this is being
done it answers two great purposes. 1t
contents the Cnbans with what they
have reason to expect, upon a larger
scale, i'm the future; pointing out to
them that the better obedience to the
laws and return to Industrial pursuits
will gain them the sooner absolute in
dependence: and, again, this eXercis-
ing of local powers by the Cubans APP
pointed to office gives them a world of
experience i'm the proper conduct and
management of affairs which would
not be possible were it not for the
strong backing and support of the
American government. Such an ex.
percnce might be costly to Cuban lib
erty and freedom under any other cir
cumstances, and especially were the
NuD;lnS lelL from lne IfSt 10 govern
themselves.
"'rhe army and the leaders, even
General Gomez and those under him,
are anxious to have the army disband-
ed as soon as possible, in order that
the soldiers may return to their ruined
homes and join in with the others in
the upbuilding of Cuba, and be given
an equal opportunity with the others
in the pursuit of happiness and pros
pcrity. Remuneration is not sought
for them because of the great and
noble service they have rendered, but
to enable those who have given up and
lost all they have for their country to
have new start in life. With that
matter settled there will be absolutely
no occasion for dissatisfaction with
1.-the rule of Americans"

FRANCE OUR FRIEND.
Lafayette's Grandson Dcplores Re.
ports of French HostiIity.


ports of French Hostility.
Paris, Jan. 49,. The Marquis de
Lasteyric, grandson of General Lafuy
cite and member of the French acad-
envy, commenting on the alleged hos
tile attitude of France toward America
III the recent war, said:
lit is scarcely necessary that the
grandson of Lafayette should put him
self ON record as favoring the most
cordial relations between my country
and the countryi f6H:which NV Grand
fnther fought. The blessings of liber-
ty, for which both countries have
poured out their blood and treasures i'm
common, constitute n brond based
friendship. One hundred and twenty
years OF the most cordial intercourse
have sealed that friedship ann
aware that efforts. have been made
within the last year to interrupt our
time honored friendship
The heated and exaggerated state
ments regarding French sympathy
with Spain during the war are now
known to be without foundation. The
continental friend of the United States
is France. Your continental enemy is
we'll known.
"Turn to England. which is called,
ms l believe, not quite correctly the
mother country, and what do you find?
After she has knocked lnavuilngly at
the doors Oh all the nations of Europe
the rejected of this continent srebs an
alliance with the United States. France
helped you in your distress; England
acknowledges you only when you are
prosperous.
"The American people show rcci-
procity of esteem and even of affec,
ton for France by erecting a statue of
Lafayette in the most beautiful spot in
Paris. And this gift from the republic
of the west comes in such n way that
the school children, the future men
and women of the whole country, will
study the historic links which bind us.
1t is the duty of Americans, as we'll as
of Frenchmcn, to let no interested
calumniators ever interrupt our friend.

-.-De Castro Resigns.

Chicago, JAN. 1a.--A special dispatch
from Havana says:
General Maxine Gomez, the Cuban
commander in chief, has caused the
arrest of his own chief of staff and
four other officers, and has delivered
them to the judge of the town of
Yaguajay, to be tried for the murder
of Spaniard: The news has caused
great sensation among Cubans here.
General Gomez says that he will do
Everything lin his power to prevent Mt
tacks OF criminal nature on Span
iards, and that he wishes justice to be
administered impartially without re-
gard to nationality: General Gomez
has just visited Caibarien; where the
people gave him most enthusiastic
reception, hailing hila as a hero.
Fernandez de Castro. governor of
Havana, has rendered his resignation
to General Ludlow, despite the request
OF the latter that he retain his office.
General Brooke, governor of the is
land, will very soon appoint his coun-
Gil oil secretaries. The members will
be selected from among prominent Gu
bans. 1T is not known whether the
functions of the council will be the
same as those of the late autonomist
cabinet, or whether it will be merely
d board TO advise the governor gen
ernl. If it is to he an advisory board
there will probably be some American
members.
! 1T is generally believed among the
Cubans here that If General Menocal
is not appointed mayor of Havana
Senior Pcrfecto Lacoste president Of
the Junta Patfiotica, will be selected
for the position.
General Ludlow will soon issue an
order placing the Colon cemetery un-
der the control of the municipality in
stead of the archbishop of Havana, as
at present.
General Brooke has ordered that
Spanish copper coins be accepted as
legal tender.

WILSON'S BEEF INQUIRY.
Secretary of Agriculture Starts an
Investigation of, His Own.


Investigation of His Own.
Washington, Jan. 11-Secretary Will
son has directed Chemist Wiley, of the
department of agriculture, to purchase
canned meat in the open market here,
tho products of the same concerns as
furnished it to the government during
the war, and after identifying such
Purchases as the products of the same
parties that supplied the army expedi-
tons, to make analysis of the cans
contents to determine if they were
treated by chemicals. This action on
the part bf Secretary Wilson is wholly
voluntary. The inquiry is now in prog
.ress and prompt publicity will be Civ
zen the results. Department officials
are confident that the beef as fur
nished under the contracts was whole
some and pure. They say that the at
tacks made on the beef, even if not
sustained, will cost the meat interests
in this country an amount equal to the
cost of the entire war, and furnish ma
terial in the future for the opposition
of those countries which have bee11(l

lean beef products. The secrat kssion |

A Cemetery for Dogs.


Philadelphia Record: A Philadelphia
lady, who is fond of pets, has concluded
to establish a canine cemetery near the
city where valued animals may be respec-
tably inferred at life's close. The ground
selected is in New Jersey, not far away
from the Red Bank sanitarium. and can
be reached by trolley cars. 1t will be deco
rated with trees and ornamental plants
orders having been already given for a
number of dogwood trees and dog-tooth
violets. The canine cemetery will only be
available for select animals as every AMI
NAL Inferred must have its grave marked
with its name on headstone. The plan
for the gateway is quite handsome, the
gate being surmounted by the figure of
n, noble hound. "Lewellyn.' 1t is hoped
that the respect shown for pets which
have been fondly cherished in life may
go far to encourage the sentiment of hui
manity. This is not the first canine Gem
etery in Philadelphia. the Ryers dog
burying ground near frankfort having
been In existence some twenty years. but
this last is private cemetery only avail
able for the dogs of the Ryers family and
their friends. The new enterprise it is
thought, will especially appeal to per-
sons living in flats or apartment houses,
who when their pets die must cast forth
their remains to contumelious usage.

While We May.

The hands are such dear hands:
They are 80 full; they turn at our de-

So often; they reach out
With trifies scarcely thought about.
So many times; they'd do
So many things for me, for you
If their fond Wills mistake,
We may we'll bend, not break.
They are such fond, frail lips
That speak to us. Pray, If love strips
Them of discretion many times,
Or if they speak too slow or quick, such
We may pass by; for we may see
Days not far off when those small words
may be
Held not as slow. or quick or out of place,
but dear,
Because the lips that spoke are no mprs

THEY are such dear familiar feet that 60
Along the path with ours-feet fast or
slow,
And trying to keep pace-if they mistake
Or tread upon some flower that we would
take
Upon our breast or bruise some reed,
Or crush poor hope until 1t bleed,
We may be mute.
Not turning quickly to itnpute
Grave fault for they and we
Have such little way to go-can be
Together such a little while along the
way,
we will be patient while we may.
So many little faults we find,
We see them; for not blind
