CUBA THE FEATURE
What McKinley Will Say in
His
Message.
WILL MAKE A CLEAR STATEMENT
Spain' New Plana for Pacifying
Cuba Fail.
New Yoek, Nov. 24. A Washington
special to the Tribune save : "
The Cuban and the currency questions
will be the leading topics in the presi
dent's message. It is paid that the dis
cussion of the Cuban question will be
comprehensive. It has already been ex
plained what the state department has
prepared in reply to the Spanish note
regarding filibustering. Whether the
president will incorporate the substance
ot this in his message or leave it, to go
in as part of the regular diplomatic cor- j
respondence may be determined later,
but the message will - define the Cuban
policy ot the administration.
Members of congress with whom the
president might freely have discussed
the question, have almost without ex
ception said that this should he done,
and Mr. McKinley has apparently agreed
with them.
The" reason given for the conclusion
is apparent. 'While a sincere hope is
entertained that the Sagasta - cabinet
may end the war at an ' early date, the
estimated. In that event it is desirable
for the policy of this country to be
known.
A Btrong . intimation is given that in
case of failure of an end to the present
conditions in Cuba at an early date ho
hesitation will be had in the United
States making known its position of ulti
mate intervention. Humanity and com
merce may both be made' the grounds
for this action.
The belief is that the Quban problem
will be solved througt the good offices of
this country, but the expectation is that
these good offices will be executed with
in a reasonable time after congress
meets, and after the intentions of the in
surgents as to accepting or rejecting-au
tonomy are known beyond a question.
If Cuba is actually pacific and industry
and trade are resumed, that condition is
expected to speak for its self. -
The refusal of a few insurgent leaders
to lay down their arms and the conlin
nance a sort of bandit warefare would
not be interprited by the administration
as the failure of autonomy. On the oth
er hand.the continuance of the present
conditions would hardly-be accepted as
evidence that the island has been paci
fied. . j
There is said to be a misunderstanding
. in Spanish official circles regarding the
position of the administration if the de
cree of autonomy is gazetted. .; The ad
ministration would not under any cir
cumstances undertake to guarantee au
tonomy. That would be making itself
responsible for the Cuban colonial gov
ernment to the Spanish authorities.
But the president's good offices are ex
tended toward giving the policy of au
tonomy a fair trial.' The message is ex
pected to make this clear beyond the
possibility of misunderstanding. .
It is the confident belief that the pres
dent's discussion of the Cuban situation

will tend to strengthen the feeling that
the administration will he able to meet
every phase of it in a manner to satisfy
the conservative business interests of the
country and discourage . radical or pre
cipitate action. -

The Competitor Crew to Soter Claims
; Ag-alnst Spain
New York, Nov. 24. According to
the World the next chapter of the Com
petitor story will carry the case to Wash
ington. Captain Laborde will make de
mands for damages fro .2 the Spanieh
governmenf, and the United States gov
ernment, will be asked, to press 'the
claims. : Melton, who has suffered more
than the others, is .likely to make a
similar claim. Leavitt, the other Amer
ican iu the party, will- place his case be
fore the state department.
Captain Laborde Is at the home of his
brother. A physician who visited him
said that a long rest must be had before
he recovers his health. '
Laborde said:
. ;"I am an American -citizen, having
been born in the United States, in 1858.
The Competitor was ' an American
schooner, and was regularly cleared un
der American papers. She was flying
the American flag. There is nothing to
substantiate the Spanish claim that we
were pirates, because there was no evi
dence of piracy on the high seas. The
officers of the Spanish gunboats were
the pirates. They stole my watch, $50
in money and my personal effects from
the Competitor.. Then I received the
most inhuman and cruel treatment when
the sailors bound my hands with cords
and twisted them into .the flesh." - "

Htxisboro, Or., .Nov. 24. John Ber
ger, of Bethany, ana William lous.'g-
nont, jr., of Buxton, are. thought to have
perisjjed in a stream in the Nehalem
mountains. .
Sunday, November 44,.Lousignont and
Berger left the former's place, on the up
per Nehalem, fifteen miles from Buxton,
with a party of friends in quest of deer.'
Lonsignontand Berger stationed the par
ty on runaways at the river, and then
took the dogs up in the hills to hunt out
the game. The men at the stations
waited until night, .when Lous ig nont
and Berger .not returning, they went to
the cabin, but it was vacant. - The two
missing men had not been found up to
Sunday last. ; As a terrible storm was
raging, it is thought they are either lost
or have perished.
On Saturday last one of the dogs re-J
turned with a suspender tied around its
heck. Some think the knot contained a
message, while others' think'the animal
went to some homesteader's cabin,
where it was tied up, later breaking
away. ' ' .
' A large body of men are searching for
the missing hunters. ''.
"LoDBignont is unmarried, while, it is
said, Berger has a wife and three chil
dren. . .
The upper Nehalem is a perfect wilder
ness, and communication is almost im
possible at this time of the year.
. A report was in circulation this even
ing that the missing men. had been
found, but it was not confirmed.
