TALKING 1T OVER.
President Palma Confers With
Cuban Generals.

New York, April 26.-An important
conference has been held between Pres
ident-elect Palma and several generals
who participated in the late insurrection,
says Bayamo, Cuba, dispatch to the
Tribune. The meeting was held at the
request Of the president-e1ect to obtain
the views of former Cuban soldiers on
the question of pay for their services.
Those who attended We're Generals RabO,
Lora, Salcedo and CapOte, representing
the province OF Santiago, which was the
pivotal point Of the rebellion. This was
the first opportunity General Palma had
for personally gauging the sentiment OF
these people on this question, which viii
be one OF considerable importance. The
result of the consultation was entirely
satisfactory to the presfdent-elect, all
the conferees acquiescing in the plans
outlined by him. He is opposed to pay
ing the army Immediately. His PROPOSE
ton is to give first attention to the agri
culture of the islands. By fostering this
industry, he argues, viii be obtained the
wages Of the army. The constitution Of
Cuba and the PIatt amendment PROVIDE
that the budget and interest of the IN
sular debt must first be taken care of
from a loan that viii be negotiated.
General Palma said that it must first
be determined who is really entitled to
be paid, which means an overhauling of
the rolls. The amount now asked is
about $50, 900, 600. which is considered far
too much 1t Is believed that Sl0OOO,OUO
viii suffice to settle all legitimate claims.
Perhaps two years will be required to
settle in full. The president-elect also
proposes to have the government take
care OF those who were crippled in war
or are invalids as a result of the war,
Provision win be made for the widows.
The question of pensions viii not be
favora bly, received.
The body of General Palma's mother,
buried by him thirty-two years ago
near the Cauto river, has just been re-
moved to this city, and will be re-
inferred here Saturday. It was placed
in a coffin and brought in by two hum
dred neighbors of the president-elect.
all mounted. The village priest headed
the long procession which received it.
Behind 1t walked General Palma, Senior
Quesada and 500 citizens, all with barred
heads. It was a particularly solemn
ceremony. and the president-elect was
as grief-striclzen as if his mother had
died yesterday. Mass was sung in the
same little church which he attended
when a boy.
At Manzanillo the American flag was
hauled down on Thursday and the
Cuban flag hoisted in its stead. The
American post was abandoned, all
troops embarked on the steamship
Seguranca. by way of Newport News
for Fort Robinson, Neb., and immedi-
ately after the Cuban flag was hoisted
by the captain of the rural guard Ar
immense crowd was at the ceremony.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Topeka got a taste of Ibsen last night
at the Crawford. Tt was of such

casion. 1t is a neat little play with
strong moral but if its author could

the most approved cheap melodramatie
fashion he would certainly have literal
ly torn his hair. Clara Thropp is ex-
cellent but even an actress of her abil-
ity could scarcely be expected to carry
all the parts. Mr. James Norval as
Iorvale Helmer spoke his lines-when

st. Thomas. D. W. L. April 26.-Press
comments on the action of the Danish
Landsthing in connection with the Dan
ish West Indies treaty are, in substance,
that it circumscribes justice too much.
The inhabitants demand that the ques-

holding that every native of full age Is
entitled to vote.
The result of the limited unofficial
plebiscite Of the island Of St Thomas is
uncertain, but. it is probably pro-slave,
though the voting was close St. CrOix,
by a vast majority, is pro-slave It is
reported that some slight anxiety is felt
