Regarding Free Government for Their
Island.

Washington, August 1S.-Salvator
Cisneros. president of the insurgent
government of Cuba in 1895, headed a
delegation from Havana who arrived in
New York on Wednesday. They called
on the president today in company with
Rev. Charles Currier of Baltimore, to
talk over the question Of Cuban inde-
pendence. The object of the visit was
to learn the disposition Of the admins
tration toward the establishment of an
independent government for Cuba and
to get an idea as to when independence
might be expected. They had long
and very free talk with the president,
and, on leaving the White house, ex-
pressed qualification at what the presi-
dent said. They stated that they were
very much encouraged at the sentiment
expressed by the president. After
leaving the White house they called on
the secretary OF war and discussed with
him the constitutional convention soon
to be held on the island.

SHANGHAI CENTRE OF INTEREST
On Account Of the Embroglfo Over
Landing of British Troops

London, August 19.-Whatever of in
terest may attach to the events re-
ported in the nights dispatches is de-
stroyed by the capture of Pekin, as
most of the messages relate to matters
preceding and leading to up to the cap
ture of the Chinese capital. General
Linevitch, commander Of the Russian
troops in Pechili, reports to St Peters
burg that on August 18th the Chinese
intended to give battle at Che Sin,
where he concentrated fifty battalions
of the best Manchu troops, command
ed by General Tung Fuh Slang. but
that losing courage, they retreated hur-
riedly, not waiting for an attack to be
made.
The eyes of the world, which have
been fixed hitherto on Pekin, are turn
ing to Shanghai, where an imbroglio
resulting from the jealousy and sus-
picion of the powers will possibly short
~ assume serious aspect. The Brit
ish landed GurkaS and Bombay regi-
ments on Friday and France is hurry
ing LOO Tonquin troops thither, some
OF whom are reported to have arrived

Sitting Competition in Armor Plate
RfdG

Pfttsburg, August 1s.-The Post to-
morrow will say:
The new bids for supplying armor
plate to the vernment will be opened
by the secretary Of the navy the first
week of October. There will be three
bidders, as before, and it is almost
certain that the Midvale Steel Com
pany will receive a portion of the work
in case the secretary decides to let
the contract.
This will be due to an agreement
with the two other companies in order
that the Midvale concern may not
again enter the race as a formidable
competitor Of the Carnegie and Beth
lehem Companies for the heavy or
Krupp armor plate. The Midvale Com
pany is, in other words, to be permit
ed to secure without opposition the
contract for making the lighter plates
known as class c., and a portion Of
class 3.
This suggestion has been informally
made by the other companies TO their
competitor. It is likely the Midvale
Company may accept.
