AMERICANS ARE
NOT M|STRUSTED
Cuban Sentiment Grows
More Friendly.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Nov. S-Brigadier Cen
eral Ludlow, Military Governor of
Havana, who arrived in New ork har-
Dor yesterday afternoon on the steamer
Havana and was detained in quarantine,
said:
am glad to say that the feeling of Cubans
toward Americans-whether the military repre-
sentatives of the Government others-has
greatly improved during recent months The
suspicion and distrust with which, perhaps, q
large number regarded Americans for so long
a time after the military occupation was es-
tabished has given way in great measure
to confidence and cordiality. They are con-
WINGED now. l think, that our purposes are
honest and friendly and limited to the or
ganization and development which are essen
tial precursors of the establishment of a stable
native government. Along with this conviction
now goes a perception of the fact that these pre-
liminartes are not to be accomplished go easily
and soon seemed to them at first In other
words they that conception of the task
in hand truer than their own and the
most influential and intelligent are content
to have work out the problem before en-
trusting the conduct of affairs wholly TO them.
The more do the less there will be for them
to do and the more auspiciously will the re-
public start upon its career.
The necessity of doing our part OF the Work
thoroughly that there shall be the smallest
possible chance for a failure of selt-govern-
ment makes it very difficult to say when the
military occupation ought to end There must
at any rate 1 should say, be a complete or
ganization OF the civil Government and an
experimental operation of it under some degree
is terminated and the island handed over abb
solutely to its own people.
The organizing of a civil Government is pro-
ceeding prosperously throughout the cities and
towns of the island. In many it is perfected;
in others 1t is we'll under way; in the rest it
Is either being undertaken or about TO be
In Havana, of course, have had for some
months a complete municipal organization and
administration, but under military supremacy
which, however, is exercised no more than is
deemed necessary.
Among the final preparations for the full as
sumption of authority by the Cubans will be
the election of a constitutional assembly. The
date for that election has not been fixed, nor
have the details which must attend 1t been
worked out either by our Government or by
the Cuban leaders themselves. Hence am
unable to reply to questions touching the condl-
lions under which the election will be held.
In regard TO the suggestion of an educational
test for the electors difficulty arises In the
fact that so per cent Of the population Is illit-
crate 1t is evident that if the new republic
is to be a popular Government there cannot
be much of educational requirements for the
exercise of suffrage. In short, particulars re-
ating to the constitutional organization OF
Cuba still belong to the future

STE!NMkN FILES SUIT
AGAINST FILLMORE

SACRAMENTO, Nov. S.-Something Of
a furry was caused here to-day by the
filing of a suit against J. A. Fillmore,
manager Of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company. The suit is brought by B. U.

sums which he alleges he loaned Fill
more, and for which he holds the railroad
officials personal notes.
The complaint filed in the Superior
Court alleges that on March 26, 1885, Stein
man loaned Fillmore $500 on note bear
ing interest at per cent per annum.
The complaint further alleges that
Steinman on March II, 1895. loaned Fill
mores $500 on a note calling for per cent
interest per annum, and that again on
January 26. 1897, Steinman loaned Fill
more $500, calling for like interest, MAX
ing in all $500. Steinman ayers in his
complaint that Fillmore has never paid
any of the interest on the notes, which

lions on Friday toward Dewdorp show
that the British force consisted Of the
Eighteenth and Nineteenth Hussars, vol
unteer cavalry, with battery of mounted
infantry, the Fifth Dragons, Keystone
Light Horse and two batteries. At mid
day General Brocklehurst drove the Beers
from all their positions, shelled three of
their guns into silence and headed off
10l0 Beers from the Pietermaritzburg

into gully and were extricated by the
Dragons, all getting safely away. Under

CAPTAIN SCHEEPSMA
A VICTIM OF DYSENTERY
Contracted the Disease While His
Vessel Was Lying at
Chinese Port.

ASTORIA, Or, Nov. 3 Captain
Scheepsma of the German ship Adolf
died at St. Mary's Hospital late last
night, of infectious dysentery, which he
contracted while the vessel was lying at
a Chinese port When the Adolf arrived
here Captain Scheepsma was al the point
of death, but he rallied and it was
thought he would recover. Last night,
however, relapse set in and the cap
tain became unconscious, from which
state he never recovered
The death of Captain Scheepsma is par
ticularly sad, as only a few days ago a
cablegram was received here announcing
the death of his wife at their home in
Emden, Germany. The news of the death
of Mrs. Scheepsma was kept from the
captain for fear it might affect his condi-
ton, and he died ignorant of her demise.
Deceased was so years of age and was
known in nearly every port in the world.
Three daughters survive him.
