former Aatonomiiti Now Concede This
-Biniill Tijlnr Oat far Amtrl-

New Yobk, Nov. 5. The Herald gays
it it too late to talk autonomy. Cuba is
lost to Spain. Only independence for
the island will put an end to the struggle
. now devastating the colony and ruiniug
Spain That is what eight , leading
Cubans, all. of whom formerly favored
autonomy, told Senor Jose Canalejt at
- the Fifth Avenne hotel. These Cohans
.did not represent the junta, for the junta
will discuss autonomy . with no one, but
the conference ia the more remarkable
in its results, because the - men who
talked so firmly against any proposition
except,-' independence , were formerly
leading autonomists, who in view of the
.' recent developments say that even were
. they to listen to euch a proposal, the in
tnrgents iu the field would simply scowl
at it as an evidence not of Spain's (rood
faith, but of ber weakness and willing
ness to promise concessions rather than
prosecute a hopeless war.
Colonel Canaleja was formerly a mem
ber of the Spanish cabinet. He comes
to sound; American feeling, and to in
form himself by personal observation of
the state of affairs in Cuba. Before his
conference with the Cubans, Senor Can
aleja was unable to obtain an exchange
of views with Estrada Palms, president
of the Cuban junta.
"Tell him," said General Palma, to
an emissary who sought to arrange an
interview, "that when I was president
of the republic of Cuba, I assisted in
' making a law which is in force today,
and by whichany member of the govern
ment who listens to the proposition
from Spain short of absolute independ
ence, is regarded as a traitor." " -.
The meeting at the Fifth Avenue was
in a reality an incidental one. Senor
' Canaleja did not then, and has not since
his arrival, posed as representing the
Spanish government, but it is known
that his prominence in Spain makes bis
mission likely to bear fruit when he goes
home.. The '. Cuban representatives
appointed Senor Varona as spokesman.
Senor Canaleja remarked that he
cjuld not understand why, if the Cubans
had really been in earnest in asking for
autonomy, they now refused to accept it,
Senor Varona cited the history of Cuba
since, ' 1878, and declared that with
. victory at hand, the patriots scorned the
. Spanish proposals.
Senor Canaleja expressed regret that
their attitude was so uncompromising,
saying that it was impossible for Spain
to yield, and that therefore the war must
necessarily continue.' Spain, be added,
had all the resources necessary to prose
cute the war, an assertion which the
Cubane received with donbt. . He said
he could not see why, if autonomy wonld
give to the. Cubans all the advantages of
independence withont its. drawbacks,'
- they.should prefer to continue the war.
There was some talk as to whether
some of the Cubans named for import-.
jant posts by the new premier were rnen-j
likely to imbue the insurgents with the
idea that Spain really intended to deal
- fairly by the colony. Senor Heredia
Escabrera, of the Cuban . party, said
these men were of such a character that
the insurgents would be irritated rather
than soothed by their elevation. -
The Cubans continued talking down
phrase after phrase of the autonomy
question, and expressed the belief that
there ia no end of the war short of in
dependence, and their firm conviction
. that the insurgents will accept nothing
else. ' " .
The discussion was conducted with
marked courtesy. Its effect' upon the
Spanish representative was marked. -

and was going to Dawson City. The
secretary has ordered reindeer to St.
Michaels, hoping" there are stores of
supplies there. He added :
, "We should have a report soon. ,Un
tfl that comes I cannot do anything, as
I will not know'the true condition of af
fairs and cannot tell just what it is best
to do.
"In the matter of the request of the
Portland chamber of . commerce, I have
no authority to act in such a case. Con
gress is the only body that can place the
forces of our departments at their dis
posal for such a thing. If it was any
thing in the way of army transportation
if we had troops there I could act on my
own responsibility. As a citizen I will
do all'. I can, . but officiallv I can do
nothing without the authorization of
congress.".- .

CONGRESSMAN ELLIS UN SILVER
Says He Would Vote Against BUI For
- Free Coinage by the United .
" States Alone.
- Bakkr.City, Or.,'' Nov. 6. Congres.-
man Ellis arrived here yesterday, and
after spending tbe day pleasantly with
friends, returned to his home in Hepp
ner, on this afternoon's train. 1 -
During an interview with . an Oregon
ian correspondent.' he was requested to
define his position on the silver ques
tion. ' In. bis reply ' he . stated that in
this, as well as all other qustions con
nected with national legislation, he is
guided solely y the last republican
platform, enunciated in St. .Louis in
June, 1896. . .
It was then suggested to Mr. Ellis
that among the mass of voters there may
be many who, while staunch republi
cans, may not have read that platform,
Mr. Ellis said 2 - .
"In order that there may be no doubt
as to my construction of it, yon can say
for . me, that if an attempt should be
made to pass a bill in congress, advocat
ing tbe free and unlimited coinage of
silver by tbe United States alone, I shall
most' decidedly vote against it This is
the purpose and intent of , tbe platform,
and I shall live up to it in every partic
ular. I am frank enough to admit that
there was a time when I entertained dif
ferent views, but that time has passed."
Mr. Ellis also express .the opinion
that, owing to the daily increasing pros
prosperity among tbe people -of the
United States, and the superior tact and
business ability displayed by President
McKinley, the voters of this country
were rapidly becoming more disposed to
leave the solution of the financial prob
lems to the present'administration, and
the silver question, as a political factor,
does not occupy the important position
which it did during the last campaign.

DEATH ON ALL SIDES
Horrors of the Indian Fam
v ine Outdone in Cuba. !
BUTCHER WEYLERS' AWFUL WORK
Emaciated and Weakened by Starvation
Death Alone Can Relieve
. - Their Suffering.
New YorkNov. 8. A World special
from Havana says: . '
. . Weyler has goce, but his purpose to
"exterminate the breed" of tbe Cuban
patriots Is being fulfilled. Starvation is
killing the "concentrados" by the tens
of thousands. Hunger . ia doing" what
Spain's 200,000 soldiers - cannot accom
plish.' The frightful suffering 'of those
who survive cry but .to the mercy of
the civilized world The physicians of
Havana are now - forbidden to give star
vation as a canee of death. ' : . ..
A correspondent . in the town of San
Domingo writes: : . V .. --.-'
"A mnltitnde of - sick . fall and die in
the streets here, and lie until, after hav
ing served as ignominious spectaclef for
some hours,- they are collected and haul
ed away in carts used for garbage to the
dumping grounds. Some of these bodies
are thrown into the field to be eaten by
birds and dogs."' " .
The birds of which this correspondent
writes are the vultures. :-" '
Both the newspapers which supported
Weyler and those who opposed him are
now forced to tell half the truth about
the starving "concentrados," Here are
some whole troths made undeniable: '
Since Weyler's proclamation, driving
the country people into: the towns was
issued, half the western popnlatiou of
Cuba has died. Half of those who have
survived are so weak, eo emaciated, that
the flickering spark of life in them will
surely soon be extinguished. They can
not survive, although Blanco, the gov
ernor-general, has ordered that service
rations be issued to them, rations such
as his .soldiers get. The lives ef the
other half of the survivors' Blanco . will
save. ' '; '".'". . '. r . '- "
Photographs of starving "children
speak louder, than .any words. These
photographs are taken at Guanabacoa
within an .hour's travel of the palace
here. Remember that with natural af
fection intensified hy . suffering the par
ents of th;e children have given them
every morsel they could scrape together.
The' mothers of these children deny
themselves food, refuse to eat the mis
erable scraps of meat and "bread that
they may keep life MB their 'children.
The children's legs are like - pipestems.
One could count their ribs. Their joints,
made disproportionately large by ema
ciation, seem immense. These are not
isolated cases. .There are thousands
and thousands like them. - ,
The assistant mayor of Havana says
there are 15,000. concentrados. in this
city. Ragged, thin and starving, these
people are huddled in the public build
ings." The hospitals Are as full., aa" the
graveyards. .'Certain not more than "90
per cent of the doaths among the con-
oentrados in this city are reported. . But
from these official figures . it - is easily
learned that tbe death rate among the
children of the concentrados in"" hospit
als and public buildings is 90 per cent;
among the adults 50 per cent, and the
death, rate . in the 'smaller cities and
towns is even larger. . ...
The absolute fact is that iu Havana
the conditions are five times better,
more favorable than . anywhere else in
Cuba. Yet tbe Spanish officials' reports
prove that 1773 persons died in Havana
during the month, of . September last,
and-2278 during October. : ! -

THE MOST POPULAR WOMAN.
Dolly Madison's Frank, Cordial Man
. nr, and Inicennons Demeanor. --
No woman is" more closely or fondly
associated with the white house than
Dolly Madison,- writes Clifford How
ard of "When Doll y" Madison, saved the '
Declaration' of Independence," in La- "
dies' Home Journal. During- the eight
years "that her husband occupied the
position .of secretary "of state . under
Jefferson's administration she was al- '.
most as frequently called upon to do .
the hoiurs-at the receptions, and levees
at the president's house as in her own
home, where' she entertained in a der.
lightfur and sumptuous manner.; She -wasr
therefore, fully prepared for the
duties that devolved upon her as mis
tress of the white house upon tbe elec
tion of Mr. Madison to the presidency.
In the graceful and skillful perform-
hince of her delicate task she gained
the admiration of everyone, and added
to the popularity she had already won
both for herself and ' her husband. -Through
the- potent influence of her
personal charms, to which were added
a frank and cordial mariner, a sweet, ,
ingenuous demeanor, and the happy
faculty of adapting herself to the viewa
of those about her, she readily became
a general favorite. Before her reign
at the white house was concluded snft
was the most popular woman, in the
United States. - . . , ij .
Birds Strangrely Concealed. ;
Mr. "A. H. Thayer, an artist, believes
he has discovered that the'light color
of the under parts of birds and small -.
mammals serves to conceal them from
their enemies. At a recent meeting of
the American Ornithologists' union he
proved by experiments that an object -..
nearly of the color of the ground, like
a potato, is very conspicuous when
placed a few inches above the soil and
viewed from a little distance. But.
when the under side is painted white
and gradually shaded into the color of .
the upper part, the object disappears
bv blending with the ground; r the
whiteness beneath counteracts the ef-'
feet of the shadow of the body. - .
