HAVANA IN A TURMOIL
over administrations Policy as to tn.
Cubans' Arms,


Over Administrat:on's Policy as to ths
Cubans' Arms.
HAVANA, CUBA. is in fer.
ment again over the idea that the
Washington administration has de
termined to take the arms of the Gu.
ban.troops and retain them in military
possession. This view of the latest
news from Washington has been
telegraphed to the various cities. Gen.
eral Brooke is thus far unaware, save
through the press kilograms, of any dis.
satisfaction on the part of General AL.
ger, secretary of war, with his
General Brooke's) plan to have the
arms deposited in the care of mayors
OF municipalities, nor has he received
any other inkling Of Secretary Alger's
intention to lay the matter before
President Mckinley. Consequently,
unless instructions 70 the contrary are
received from the Washington admin.
istration to the governor generals Or
der respecting the distribution of the
$4,000, 900 as modified, will be issued.
Havana's midday papers publish the
Washington news, some of them COM
menting editorially upon it as the
point about where the arms are to be
kept appears to be thought of vital i'm
portance in Washington, the convic
ton being announced there that the
mayors cannot be trusted with them
is cause Of fresh discomfort, just at
the moment when the various compli-
cations appeared to be unraveled.
Secretary Alger appears to wish
10 provoke conflict here. He is more
distinguished in the United States as
business man than as politician,
and his relations with certain syndi-
Gates are we'll known. He opposes
everything that Cuba wants and favors
everything that would cause feeling
and provocation. His attitude prompts
the question: "What does he wanti
Does he desire to wage war here SINH
lar to that in the Philippines2 We
are forced to believe that he only ap-
proves that which is unsatisfactory to
Cuba"
Cubans Of prominence say that such
IN order as is referred to in the press
dispatches from Washington would
cause much trouble, and would still
further separate Cuba from the United
States.
The manifesto of General Gomez
issued last evening is unsatisfactory
to the military administration because
its author failed to disband the army,
promising to reflect upon the matter.

The colossal statue on the confeder-
ate monument in this city was the sub
ject of conversation among several citi
zens recently and the inquiry was made
as to whether the statue was fcticious
or chiseled from the physique of some
Mississippian. One gentleman said
that 1t was chiseled from photograph
Of the late Colonel G.o. M Govan,
then secretary of state. lie said, if his
memory served him correctly, the
ladies' who were in charge of the build
ing Of this monument got Colonel Gov
an to don the uniform of confederate
pldier and stand for photograph as
aphysical model for the sculptor, but
not with the intention of having his
face reproduced in the statue, which
was to have fcticious face. The press
correspondent has a faint recollection
that when the sculptor came to chisel
the face and head, he used as his
model photograph Of the Hon. J..
NJ Stone, then governor of the state.
which friend gave him without the
knowledge of the governor or any one
else at the time. This photograph
was taken many years ago, while
colonel Stone was helping with his
sword to write the military history
Of his country. He then wore whis-
keis, but for the past twenty years he
mas only worn mustache. The con-
iederate monument stands in the south
END Of th capitol yard, and is pecu-
iafly antique and differs materially
Hom other structures Of its kind.

Terrible Loss of Life on the Coast OF
Queensland.
Shortly before the steamer Miowera
left Sydney for Victoria, B. c., the
cutter Mystery returned to Cooksto wn
from the scene of the recent disaster
by hurricane on the north Queens
land coast, by which practically every
vessel engaged in pearl fishery was
wrecked and much property lost ahoat
and ashore. The sights that met the
eyes of the relief expedition along the
desolated coast were horrifying be-
yond description. In one place where
picturesque fishing village with a
population of 800 had stood, neither
house nor tree nor living thing was
left. The sight of the little settle
ment looked like new plowed land,
and the survivors among the fishing
folk had fed for safety to an inland
town twelve miles distant.
There, and further along the coast,
mangled bodies of men and domestic
animals were found. Several were
rescued with some difficulty, where
they had been blown from distances as
great as q quarter of mile. An off
cial report says that eight vessels were
wrecked and that 3s5 people lost their
livaa
