CUBA DESIRES PEACE
Both Spaniards and Natives
Tired of War.
EDITOR CORONADO INTERVIEWED

New York, Nov. 19. Manual M.
Coronado, editor of the Cuban patriots
paper, La Discuesioue, published in Ha
vana, who escaped from that city in the
last days of October, after General Wey
ler had ordered hia arrest, reached New
York this morning. He brought with
him important news for the junta in this
city, a d ei-.ry this afternoon visited the
headquarters. Of hia escape lie said :
When I learned by private tips that
General VVeyler had ordered my arrest,
I made immediate preparations f r es
cape. The order was not a surprise. I
had secured a disguise in the costume of
an ordinary sailor. When my house was
surrounded by troops, I hastly shaved
off njy heavy mustache, and, donning
my, disguise, which also included a
heavy black goatee, I stepped into the
house adjoining and made my escape to
the street, as I thought, unobserved. It
was 2 o'clock in the afternoon. ' I
jumped into a carriage. A.i alarm was
given and the police pursued me in an
other. I worked an old game. I told
my driver to keep ahead, and, watching
for an opportunity, jumped from the car
riage and walked back on the pavement,
mingled with the crowd and made my
escape f the country
"A few days afterward I prefer not
to give dates, I shipped aboard a sailing
vessel as a common saiior. 'The captain
knew me, however. We reached New
Orleans after an uneventful trip, ' and I
came to New York by rail, arriving this
morning." '
In reply to a question as to the gener
al feeling ot the people living in Cuba,
he said, through an interpreter:
"Today we might say that Spain holds
Curia by sheer force of arms. The who'le
country, Spanish and Cuban al ke, de
sires peace at almost any sacrifice, and
although it may seem strange, the Span
ish element are quite as pronounced in
this feeling s the Cubans, and wish
peace and independence fur Cuba.
It is thought that Cuba again under
Spaniel) rule would be unable t pay the
lormou war deht already incurred or
ti stand the tremendous tax that would
now invariably be imposed by Spain np
on Cuba, 'and another uprising would,
under those conditions, follow. Spain
would have to expend great sums of
money to keep Cuba to submission.
The war debt now is estimated at $500.
000,000, and is accumulating at the rate
of $12,000,000 a month.
!'If Cuba gains her independence in
this struggle, and I hope and maintain
that she will, she will c tart afresh with
wonderful possibilities for her.' Spain
will soon be forced, by lack of fundi", to
withdraw, her troops. The opinion I
express is not that of ' transcient Cuban
residents, but of merchants and land
owners, Spanish as well as Cuban. The
Spaniards express this opinion in private
only, as public expression would insure
thtfir execution as rebels.
Weyler does as He pleases. His
latest edict is that all persons, men;
women and children, who are found out
Bide of the Spanish lines, shall be con
sidered rebels and shot as such. This
edict was published only in the official
gazette in Havana, which circulates
among officers and officials only. There
was no way in which those outside of
these circles could learn of the edict.
There is no . railroad to Pinar del Bio
from Havana, and it is in this province
that the edict has cost many lives. Peo

p'e taken under this edict are marched
outside of the gates of the city and shot
down by soldiers. The reports of pris
oners captured by Weyler are only the
capture of these poor devils.
"The former practice of the Spanish
authorities of shooting prisoners in
Morro castle and throwing the bodies
into the water for' sharks, has been
stopped, because not long ago several
bodies drifted into the bay of Havana.
The authorities explained to inquiring
citizena that the men bad probably
drownod. Bullet holes in the head,
however, disproved this. The people
would welcome anything to hasten the
end, not only on account of the loss of
property and life, but on account of -the
massacres."

Armenian's
Election mm
Good Omen.
Patriarch
Constantinople j Nov.. 19. Monsig
nore Maghaki Ormanian's election as
the new Armenian patriarch is an excel
lent sign of peace in the future. An im
perial irade will probably be issued to
morrow, approving the election, and the
next day the new patriarch will enter
upon his functions. He has already de
cided that religious councils shall take
immediate steps to examine the roles of
organic law, which will doubtless be
modified.
According to their religion, the Arme
nians belong to the Armenian Gregorian
church, which in the year 596 separated
from the Greek church at the council of
Chalcedon. They have likewise separ
ated from the United Catholic church,
and they now recognize as their highest
religious authority the patriarch of
Etchmianzin in Russia, who bears the
title of Catholicos of Sis (Eiliken). The
patriarch of Constantinople occupies a
mot important position, as he is recog
nized as the representative of the Ar
menian nation and church at the sub
lime porte. He is chosen from a body
of 140 members ot the national assembly,
who sit at Constantinople, and this
election must be confirmed by .the sultan.-
The inner affairs of the the nation
are settled by two conncils.
The former Gregorian patriach, Izmir
lian, resigned in August, 1896, in conse
quence of a "round robbin," oigned by
the Armenians at the sublime porte
among whom the opinion had gained
ground that a fair share of "blood , guilt
ness" should have been laid at the door
of one without whose connivance Ar
meman intrigues would nave Deen im
possible. The political importance of
this event consisted in the fact that the
sultan al ways persistently refused .to re'
ceive Izmirliai).
The Herald's correspondent in Con
etantinople wrote at the time:
"Now that this obstacle to any poaal
ble reconciliation has been removed, the
prospect of a satisfactory - settlement of
the Armenian question Is . confidently
looked forward to on all eldes, but - the
sultan's sine qua non is the frank recog
sDition of the the. resignation of the revo
lutionary character of the late move
ment and submission." '
Monsignore Bartolomos, late Gregori
an bishop of Brusa, was chosen to locum
tenens of the Armenian patriachate on
the resignation of Monsignore Izmirlan
The sultan was highly pleased at the
choicest the time, and assured him that-
he would always continue to manifest
his good will and solicitude toward- his
Armenian subjects who remained faith
lul to the throne- ' ; - -. V
. Monsignore Bartolomos thanked the
sultan, sayings
"The Armenian subjects of your ma-
je ty have proressd and prospered in
the shelter of y ur government. Th
tbrone of your majesty has been and al
ways will be their refuge. They flee for
safety to j our m'shty and benevolent
protection. Loyalty and eincerity have
alwavs gnided your actions. It is im
porsible that I myself should deviate
from this course,"
HIGHLY MAGNETIZED.
What Happened to a Family from Drink
ing Impregnated Water.
A remarkable story comes from the
upper Yakima country, Washington.
Two years ago Peter Stromshadt located-
on a piece of land near what is
now known as Borax Springs, his fami
ly consisting of his wife and two chil
dren. A few days after his settlement
Stromshadt discovered a spring close
to the shack he had built, the water of
which - was strongly impregnated with
iron, but not unpalatafoble. Stromstadt
dug and deepened the spring, and since
July,' 1893, the family has used the
water for all domestic purposes.
One night recently a heavy electric
storm passed over the cascades, ac
companied by vivid displays of light
ning. The following day Mrs. Strom-
sUtdt, while kindling a fire in the stove,
found it almost impossible to separate
the stove lifter from her hand. Her
husband, hearing her scream, ran to
her assistance, when, to his surprise,
he found that he, too, experienced great
difficulty in detaching any article of
iron with which his hands came in con
tact.
Breakfast was finally prepared and
the family sat down to the meal. The
children, girls of five or seven years, j
respectively, drank their milk from tin
cups,, and upon raising the cups to their
mouths found themselves unable to
detach the cups from their lip3. Strom
stadt, who is an intelligent immigrant
from Sweden, was nonplussed,, and,
while unable to account for the won
derful occurrence, nevertheless laughed
at his wife's excited declarations that
the family was bewitched.
A member of the Portland. Ore. ,
academy of science, to whom the cir
cumstance was related, says that the
Stromstadt family has become satu
rated with iron, which was rendered
magnetic by the passage of electricity
from the clouds to the earth during the
recent electric storm. Stromstadt him
self takes the matter philosophically, .
and aside from the incoiivcfticnco of
having his head decorated with a
fringe of knives, forks and teaspoons,
which arc attached to him, is inclipet?
