TWO Chinese PRINCES DEAD.
One Killed Himself And The Other
is Believed to Have Done SO.
TUAN EXPECTED TO FOLLOW.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The Chinese
minister has received a dispatch sta
ting that Kang-Yi, a member of the
cabinet with Yung-Lu and one of the
intense anti-foreign leaders, whose
punishment was demanded by the
powers, died OF illness on the 18th in
slant, also that Yu-Hsien, the late
governor of Shansi, who is said to have
been responsible for the death OF many
missionaries, has committed suicide by
swallowing gold leaf Minister WI
regards this act as the result of the
disfavor of which the high officials
have received from the throne.
tant event as he was one of the ring
leaders whose punishment was de-
manded by the powers.
Minister Wu's advices also show that
that Prince Tuan has been visited with
severe censure from the throne and to
such an extent that it would be no
surprise if he followed the course of
Kang-Yi and Yu. He has been pre-
vented from accompanying the inn
perial court to Siang-Fu, and remains
at Shansi, cut off from further influ-
ence on the throne. 1t is expected
that he will be banished, which to a
prince of the blood, is worse than de-
capitation and under the Chinese idea
of propriety suicide is likely to be his
end. Minister WI laid his dispatches

The EVACUATION OF CUBA.
Direct Authority From Congress Must
First be Had.

First be Had
Washington, Oct. 3o.-The evacua-
ton of Cuba by the United States is
not likely to take place quite as soon
as has been anticipated in some quar-
tiers. The withdrawal of the American
troops will not take place in any event
until some form of domestic govern
ment has been established and it is not
likely to be ordered by the executive
department of the government without
the authority of Congress. The Cuban
constitutional convention, which meets
in November, will probably be in
session for several months-probably
much longer than after the adjourn
ment of the coming session of Congress
on March 4, 1901. The new Congress,
to be elected on November 6. will not
meet in regular session until December,
1901, and will hardly do any important
business until the spring of 1902. By
that, time representatives of the new
Cuban republic may be ready to DEM
onstrate to the appropriate committees
of Congress that they have govern
ment completely organized and capable
of maintaining treaty obligations with
other powers. Such government can
hardly exercise its functions until au-
thorized by Congress. Whether it shall
be permitted to exercise them without
the supervision of the United States
will be for Congress to determine.
The President will probably not
assume the responsibility of putting
the new Cuban government in opera
ton even under the tutelage of the
United States, without the direct
authority of Congress.
