CUBAN LIBERALS
hold BIG Meeting

Havana-The liberals held the great.
est political meeting ever witnessed in
Cuba last Monday night. Six thousand
people crowded into the building, and
an overflow meeting outside was at
tended by 1000 more. The tenor of
the speeches was that what the Amer
lean government had done in Cuba had
no parallel in the world. Cuba should
In every way follow the example of the
United States and thus reach a posi-
ton of independence and prosperity SO
that, in the course of time, except for
the difference in language and govern
ment. Cuba and the United States
would be one.
An appeal was made for a peaceful
and united republic and the burying of
all fractional differences. 1t was de-.
clared that the revolution had not been
brought on by the liberal party. 1t
was stated that if Palma was again
chosen president in fair election the
liberals would sustain him.
Governor Magoon is considering the
appointment of another commission on
hOW AdWop dnOtucI Ou ClVll service ana
a third to hear the claims for damages
arising from the insurection.
The commission on laws probably
will be composed equally of Americans
and Cubans. The proposed civil SER
vice commission will consist of three
Americans from the department. at
Washington and six Cubans. 1t will
consider the laws and practices hither-
to followed in Cuba, based in part, but
not necessarily wholly, on American
practices. Whatever Americans it
may be necessary to employ will be Sc
lected from among the civil ser vice
employees at Washington.
The claims commission doubtless
will be entirely composed of American
army officers, but there may be also
some officers of the Cuban rural guards.
The distribution of American troops
throughout the island is proceeding
gradually.

HUNDREDSPERISHED
BRITISH STEAMER HANKOW IS
BURNED AT HONG KONG.
Over 1000 Aboard-chinese Passen.
gers Suffered Most-European Pas
sengers and Crew Eseaped-valua'
BILE Cargo a Total Loss-onIy Shell
and Hull Remain-origin Unknown

Hong Kong, Oct. 15.-The British
steamer Hankow was burned Sunday
morning while lying alongside her
wharf Hundreds of Chinese passen
gers were burned to death, and val
liable cargo was destroyed. All the
European passengers and crew were
saved.
The steamer Hankow, with 200(
Chinese passengers, men. women and
children, and seven Europeans and g
cargo including 300 bales of mating
80 bales of raw silk and 400 bales OF
waste silk, arrived from Canton and
was shortly afterward moored at the
wharf.
Her chief officer reported to Captain
Branch that the ship was afire. The
captain thea directed the chief engi
Reer to turn on the water through the
fire hose. This was impossible for the
reason that within five minutes after
the alarm was given the Hankow was
ablaze fore and aft.
Captain Branch then awakened the
European passengers, who rushed
down the gangway, the ladies in their
nightclothes. The crew was COMPEL
ed to leave the ship, which by this
time was a veritable furnace. The
Chinese steerage passengers were
thrown into a frightful panic. Horri-
flying shrieks and cries to save their
lives were heard, but escape was i'm
possible owing to the infiammabIe ma.
ture of the cargo. Hundreds were
burned to death and many others
jumped into the harbor and were
drowned.
Responding to signals the British
cruiser Flora and the naval dockyard
dispatched contingents of engines and
assistance. The land and floating bri-
gades of firemen made herculean eff
forts to extinguish the flames, which
ieaped to height of over 60 feet.
After four hours the fire wds
brought under control, at which time
only the shell and hull of the Hankow
remained.
There are many theories as to the
cause of the fire. The first is that it |
was caused by the overturning of a |
antern by Chinese boarding house |
'unner, who came aboard seeking Gus
omers. The second is that an opium |
smoker accidentally set fire to mat |
ing, the third is that it was caused by |
the crossing of electric wires. A |
fourth theory and one that is consid- |
cred the most probable is that the fire
was incendiary and was an outgrowth
of a boycott against British river |
boats.
The steamer Hankow was owned by |
he China Navigation company of |
london. and was built in Glasgow in
1915. The vessel was constructed of |
ron, her dimensions being length,
1855; beam, 42.3; depth, 1872 feet |
She registered 3073 tons gross.

A CLIQUE coM8ATs KAISER.
Hohenlohe Memoirs intended to Sow
Discomfort.


Germany is beginning to understand
the kaiser's fury at the publication of
the "Hohenlohe memoirs" The pub
lie was at first surprised at the mon
archs anger, taking the view that the
work reflected decided credit on him.
The appearance of further details of
Wilhelm's dealings with Bismarck and
especially the quotation of his threat
to imprison the Iron Chancellor" in
the fortress of Spandau, has wrought
a wonderful change in the trend of
thought. Political experts are begin
ming to conjecture that the real pur-
pose of the publication OF objection
able chapters in the Netherlands in
most history is to undermine the
kaisers influence and put an end to
the autocracy. On no other ground
can the younger Hohenlohes action be
explained. The incident may be truly
described as the sensation of the dec
ade in Germany.
1t has been an open secret in court
circles for some time that the kaiser
is being combated by a powerful po-
litical clique. 1t includes a brilliant
array of princes, grand dukes, gen.
erals. admirals and editors, who, work
ing together, have managed to SOW
the seeds of discomfort in all classes
with Niihelm's methods of govern
ment. 1t is said that the kaiser had
these "pessimists" in mind when, in
his Breslau speech in September, he
advised them to get out and stay out
of Germany.
