HELD A SECRET MEETING
The Cuban Liberals Are Dissatisfied
with Governor Magoon.
Decide to Notify the Governor Of
the Party's Decentralization with
Recent Appointments.

Havana, Nov. 10-The growing sen.
timent OF dissatisfaction among liber-
ais In consequence Of lack OF success
Of their efforts to induce Gov. Ma
COON to dismiss moderates from i'm
portant posts in the insular admins
tration, replacing them with liberals,
crystallized Thursday night at Sc
cret meeting of the liberal committee
on appointments. There were pres
emit Pine Guerra, Alfredo Zayas, Jose
Manuel Gomez, Jose J. Monteagudo,
General Castillo, Rafael Duany, and
representatives from all the provinces
Special objection was made to the re-
appointment Of a police captain nam
ed Reguera, moderate, who recently
has been reinstated in office, and to
the, appointments Of various minor Of
flcials In the customs house. The re-
appointment of Reguera was particu-
larly obnoxious to the liberals.
Up to the present time the leaders
of the Liberal party have protested
that they did not seek office and were
entirely willing to abide by the selec-
lions made by Gov. Magoon. The
meeting Thursday, however, Is a re-
suit Of pressure brought to bear by
applicants for office, and it was de-
cided to appoint committee to call
or the governor, express the party's
dissatisfaction with recent appoint
naents and make a strong appeal for
the recognition of liberal aspirants to
various important posts. Hitherto
Gov. Magoon has shown no haste in
making appointments, filling only such
as seemed particularly necessary. 1t
has been expected for some time past
that the patience Of the liberals soon
would be exhausted as time went by
and they were not given office, and
that steps would be taken to bring
pressure to bear on the governor.

The Cuban Unrest.

Havana, Nov 1.-THE feeling of in
security throughout the island is
shown by numerous applications by
proprietors Of sugar plantations for
details of American troops to guard
the sugar mills during the approach
ing cutting season. The owners offer
to supply free quarters for the troops,
hoping to receive such military protec-
ton as was customary under Spanish
rule during the last revolution. The
military authorities have refused to
grant any Of the applications.

returns from SO out Of los counties, re-
ceived at o'clock Sunday night, give
Gov. e. w. Hoch a plurality of 1000

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 11-Comment-
ing on the Tuesdays election W. j..
Bryan gets considerable satisfaction In
viewing the outcome from demo;
cratic standpoint. He regrets the
defeat of W. R. Hearst in New York,
but can not see wherein President
Roosevelt can find any comfort in
the vote Of the Empire state. Mr..
Bryan says the presidents personal
attack on Mr.. Hearst was N very
bad taste and he insists that the at
tack did not fayorably impress the
public. Particularly gratifying to the
democratic heart, says Mr.. Bryan, is
the return Of Missouri to the fold.
