RACE FRICTION IN CUBA.
4 Spaniard Roughly Treated in the
Streets of Guannbacoa

HAVANA, Nov. 17.-While the remains
Of the Cuban general. Creci. were lying in
state at Guanabocoa today a Spaniard of
the name Of Lopez pulled down Cuban
flag which was flying in the street in honor
Of the occasion and shouted, This is
filthy banner and should not be shownn
The Cubans present grabbed Lopez and
dragged him through the streets with the
avowed intention of lynching him. Only
the firm action Of the police prevented the
Cubans from carrying out their plans
There was more trouble later on while
General Crecis remains were being taken
on a ferryboat to Havana The officers OF
the steamboat company tried to collect
fares from the members Of the committee
accompanying the body. The committeeman
declined TO pay on the ground that from
patriotic motives the steamboat company
should transport them free OF charge. The
matter was finally compromised
Last night the Havana delegates 10 the
convention of the National League held
a meeting and adopted a resolution that
the United States had agreed to recognize
Cuban independence, and consequently dis
cusson Of the matter is useless and against
the wishes of the people of Cuba. The reso-
luton went on TO say that it would not be
prudent to found Cuban nationality On
plans which were not in conformity with
the will OF the American people, on whom
the Cubans must depend.
Cubans, the resolution said, should offer
guarantees of a kind which the intervening
Government would accept. Cubans should
premise the Americans that they would
always preserve a friendly aspect toward
them. Cubans should endeavor to bring
about as soon as possible an independent
Government. though it might be necessary
for the American army of occupation to re-
main on the island till a stable govern
ment was established.

main roads built to Matanzas. 1t was

Alleged Evidence Of Corruption in

Alleged Evidence Of Corruption in
the Indianapolis City Council.
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 1.-THE county
grand jury continued its investigation to-
day into charges Of bribery in connection
with the granting Of a franchise to the new
street car company, and a number Of wit
nesses were examined who gave direct tes-
timOny as 10 statements on the part OF the
councilmen that they received money for
their votes One OF the witnesses stated
to the grand jury that three cOuncilmen
were in his hotel and openly discussed the
granting OF franchises and the amounts
they had each received for voting for it,
Evidence was also secured to show that
several members Of the council had ex-
pended large sums Of money just after the
the franchise was granted. One OF these
remodeled his house at cost Of $500.
and another had mortgage released for
81. 600, and a third bought piece Of real
estate and paid for it in cash. In none
of these cases was the councilman ever
known 10 have so much ready money
The records in the county offices were
also produced before the jury to show the
release of the mortgage and the transfer
OF the real estate. Prominent citizens who
opposed the granting of the franchise are
discussing the expediency Of bringing suit
to set it aside on the ground Of fraud.

The Anti-ImreriaI Collapse.

Confined TO a very few and not notably
very wise individuals there is st,ll some
disposition TO bury heads in the sand and
refuse TO be convinced by the unsscapab' e
lesson of the November elections, which is
that anti imperialism, as preached by the
caponized Americans who have called
themselves 'anti-imperiaiists, is utterly
dead in the United States. This incontro-
vertible fact. while it may not yet be pat
ent to a small number of human ostriches,
is seen to be notably so to the late anti
imperislist press.
The sudden downfall of the cult, as illus
trated in the Acknowledgements of total
defeat offered by publications like the
New York Evening Post" the New York
World, the Providence Journal; and
in the complete somersault performed by
.Hsrper's Weekly" until very recently
the organ of the Hessian Schurz, could
not well be made much more evident to
the country or 10 Christendom. Compare
the attitude of "Harper's' this week with
the same month or so ago, and observe
the difference. Now it is as American AMI
progressive as it then was afflicted with the
provincial toryism of Hoar and Atkinson
In its current issue the following may be
found;
The conclusions Of the IPhilippincl Commits
sioners are not mere matter Of opinion, but are
supported by large mass Of evidence. which
will be presented with their final report. The
most important facts shown are these:
First-We made alliance with Agulnaldo-
SecCnd-ile deliberately provoked with us.

II the American colonists was; for If he could
succeed IN war, his success would be followed by
anarchy.
Fourth-The inhabitants Of Luzon. as well as
of the other islands, vet incapable Of self
government, and our plain duty Is TO help them
toward H. The only way to help them is at
present TO govern them, and gradually to lead
them TO understanding of the fundamental
principles Of government, Of which they are yet
ignorant.
Fifth-Tbe beginnings Of self government un-
der cir guidance in the towns where II has al
ready been insugurated promise we'll
Sixth-The only honorable and possible thing
TO do is 10 hold the archipelago, and to develop
both its people and its resources, which are val
uahe.
No one need fancy that this remarkable
change is due to an editorial whim. It
probably rather represents knowledge on
the part of the new management of the
Harper corporation. which has just been
reorganized, that the American public were
dropping the Weekly and resentng its
retrogressive policy, and shows that the
miraculous conversion in evidence was in
recognition Of national sentiment too
strong and too universal to be safely an
tagonized.
We are more than happy 10 see that anti
imperialism is no longer a thing of life,
even on the infnitesimaI scale upon which
it once hourished. It was never anything
but humbug, hypocrisy, and demagogy.

In connection with the disaster TO Wolfe
MuyTays armored trfin we learn that the
Beers have appeared in some force four
miles south Of Colenso, which doubt ess
means that they will oppose Methuens
approach to the TugeIa River, and if they
have to retire blow up the railway bridge
after them. The body at the point des
ignated is assumed to be a detachment
from Gen. Lucas Meyers command now
reported as entrenched in the hills around
Pieter's Station, above Colenso. What is
more significant is the news that a party
of the Beers has struck the railway at
the Mooi River, south Of and bstTeen Est
court and Weston. in the direction OF
Pietermaritzburg. 1t is believed that these
raiders represent the advance guard Of
General Schalk Burgers commando, which
for two weeks has been reported as threat
ening Pietermaritzburg from the Zululand
border The movement of the Beers
south of CoIenso and the demonstra-
ton at Mooi River indicate a design
10 catch the Estcourt garrison between
two fires and destroy it; a purpose
which might have been accomplished, per
haps, a week ago, but may be not now
feasible Several thousand troops must
have joined Wolfe Murray from Durham
by this time, and we learn that Major
General Hildyard, commanding the first
brigade OF Lord Methuen's division, is al
ready on the ground and probably has as
sumed charge.
If it be true, as We think it probably is,
that Gen. Schalk Burger is in a position
mobile to the east Of the railway, between
east and west lines drawn through that
place and Pietermaritzburg, he may not be
in force sufficient to make an independent
attack unsupported by the enemy farther
north, but evidently he will be able to
harass the British rear, and the communi-
cations to which he has already done some
damage and threaten the Natal capital
seriously enough perhaps to compel Me-
thuen to make a relatively large detail
from the relieving column for its defence,
The latter is not likely, therefore, to accom-
plish a quick or an unobstructed march to
beyond the Tugela. and he may be seriously
delayed on account of necessity to divide
his force. 1t is possible, Of course, that for
lack of definite information, we may not
be allowing him the bayonets and guns he
may in fact have by this time; but ''on the
( face of the returns to date, it would seem
a fair inference that ten days yet may
elapse before Methuen can hope TO be

RELICS OF CLIFF JEWELLERS.
Prof. Pepper Finds Ruins Of cities
in Colorado.


DENVER. Nov. I7.-One carload OF rel
les from the ruins of ancient cliff dwellers
has Just been sent to the Museum Of Nat
uraI History in New York. They were col
lected by Prof George H. Pepper. and are
probably the most valuable ever sent out
Of southwestern Colorado. Prof. Pepper
has spent the last four summers in the vi
cinity of Moscow, Col. He has opened hun
dreds OF mounds and has visited thousands
of the ancient dwellings with which the
sandstone cliffs are honey-combed- He
says his researches have shown that the
ruins have embraced a tract of twenty
square miles: at least he worked over that
area. 1t is probable he believes that deyel-
opments will yet show that city larger
than New York and London combined vas
at one time in the ruins OF the clin- dwell
ers. He believes that the period OF the
cliff -dwellers extends back much more than
500 years; that the town OF Mesaencantada
existed at least 1,5OO years ago and that
four stone cities on top Of one another had
been built on one site.
