General's Report Is Very Gratifying
Showing, as It Docs, a Great 1 m
lirovemi'iit in Conditions.
Gnu Ado, Sunt. 1. A special to tho
Tunes-Herald from Washington euys:
Giiiiorul Kit.hugli l.uo has made nn elab
orate ruport on prevailing conditions in
tint territory in Ouba under his jurisdic
tion, and takes strong ground for an in
ilepuuduut Cubiin government under nn
American protectorate. The wur de
partment in .March directed the com
iiuiiiilorH of departments in Cuba to mako
a report on tho conditions in their several
sections, mid to accompany it with re
commendations as to tins treatment of
tliu natives. General Leo is the only
commander who bus so far responded.
(iunuriil Leo begins his ruport by stat
ing conditions in Uuvaua and l'inar del
llio provinces are making rapid progreee
toward a statu of pence, good ordor and
prosperity. Ho goes into this in great
detail, taking up the subject town by
town, and showmen general improve
ment throughout the western end of the
isluml. His report in this respect is very
gratifying, indicating ob it does that
tliuro in not so much suffering from want
of food as is loften asserted in uuotlicial
roports.
Turning to recommendations, General
Lvu urges the taking of self-government.
General Leo thinks that the nest steps
elimild bo thu careful consideration of
the question of suffrages for the Cubans.
Ho takes it for granted that there will be
elections by the natives, and lie points
out the importance of wise action in de
termining the qualifications of voters.
Ho recommends nn independent
Republican government, with a presi
dent, vice-president nnd u congress. He
would have this established soon, and
advises the holding of a general election
for the selection of those officers. lie
&ye nothing about a constitution, leav
ing it to he inferred that he either over
looked that step or would have it left to
tlio Cuban congress to provide ufter ils
installation in office.
General Lio evidently foresees thnt
while the United States might provide
Cuba with n model system of govern
nu.nl, the natives would bo likely to
spoil it in the administration and ho has
submitted suggestions for keeping the
government machinery running along
lines that commend theniBolvos to the
American mind.
Even after relieving the Cubans in
partot Amorican protection, ho would
have United States troops maintained
in the ioland to protect Americans and
other aliona in tho enjoyment of their
personal und property rights.

CAPE NOME
A GODSEND

Their Means in Prospecting Other
Ports of Alaska Many Disputes.
Seattle, Sent. 1. The steamer Lau-
rada, of Cuban filibustering fame, ar
rived thiB morning from St. Michael,
Alaska, with 200 passengers from Daw
son and Cape Nome and a small amount
of gold duet. Purser Coup says he had
$50,000 wortli in his custody.
Capo Nome passengers report that a
few davs before they left 300 miners
were placed under arrest for trespass
ing. Tho arrest was made by .Lieuten
ant Craigio, nnd a detachment of ten
men on the complaint of a company
which claims to own a strip on trio
beach between low and moan high title.
Tho minors were held undor arrest but
a few hours. Lieutenant Craigio saw
that it would be impossible to provide
for such a large number, nnd ordered
their release, notifying the company to
seek redress in court. The strip hi
disputo has never been ofliclally sur
veyed.
S. It. Colvln. who sold his claim at
Cape Nome for $35,000, says men min-
ingon the beach are taking out irom
to $40 to the man. The district is u
Godsend to the many who had spent all
i.lr substance prospecting in other
parts of Alaska wfthout result. The
Laurada passed through a severe siorm
between Bt. Michael and Dutch harbor.

McLean's Ambition.
Washington, Aug. 31. Tho action of
tlio Ohio Democratic convention is cold
comfort to the anti-Bryan men. Mc
Lean is one of the men of power who
was depended upon to help down Bryan
in the next convention. McLean would
be willing, but he could not withstand
the Bryan scntimrut in his own state.
McLean is using the Governorship as n
stepping-stone to the senate to succeed
Foraker. He figures out that Ohio must
go Democratic sooner or later, and if he
keeps in line he will cat'.'h some of the
big political plums.

JIMENES WILL

CHANGE SATISFIES
THE PEOPLE
Fear of Another Hurricane Forced the
New Orleans and a French Cruiser
to Leave the Port lor Open Sea.
New York, Sept. 1. A dispatch to the
Herald from Santo Domingo pays :
There is little doubt that Jimenes will
succeed to the presidency as soon as he
arrives. The peace and tranquility
which pervade the city aro in marked
contrast with conditions that existed a
few days ago and show how popular the
revolution is with the masses. Apparent
ly the entire island is satisfied that the
change in government promises im
proved conditions. The newpapets all
urge moderation on the part of tiie revo
lutionists and adviee all citizens to refrain
from disturbance.
Figuereo was permitted to reach home
unmolested, and the revolutionists every
where are behaving with the utmost
moderation, even going bo far as to pay
for the property taken and supplies used.
It is believed that all fighting is over and
that with the arrival of the leaders of the
revolution on Sunday to take charge of
the government all causa for alarm will
have been removed.
Yesterday was the climax to the gov
ernment, which was powerless to
retard the progress of the revolution.
Word had coire that all the principal
towns in the interior on tho north side
had gone over. Added to this had come
news that another hurricane wae form
ing and that the United States cruieer
New Orleans and the French cruiter
would have to put to sea and that the
foreign residents would be left to the
mercy of the revolutionists.
Business was practically at a standstill
and chaos reigned. People dared not
stir from their homes at night. In this
dilemma came Figuereo's announcement
that he would resign in order to prevent
bloodehed and at once the situation
changed.

Millions tflveu Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the
needy and suffering, The proprietors
of Dr. King's New Discovery for con
sumption, coughs and colds, have given
away over ten million trial bottles of this

tion of knowing it has absolutely 'cured
