A CUBANS WANT A CHANGE. AN INTERESTIN iG OCCASION. A Large Class of the Best Citizens Favor | The Baptism of Geronimo’s Squaw and Annexation. VIEWS OF AN AMERICAN WHO RECENTLY SPENT SEVERAL WEEKS ON THE ISLAND O¥ A GOV- ERNMENT MISSION—THE QUEEN OF TRE AN- TILLES MAY YET HAVE A STAR ON THE FLAG. The publication of the story in a New York paper the other day, which was reprinted in ‘Tas Stag, to the effect that there was an effort on foot on the part of Spain to feel the pulee of the United States with regard to the possible purchase of the island of Cuba, has set any number of tongues wagging upon this subject, which has several times been one of the lead- ing topics of interest with the political leaders | of this country. ASran reporter had along and interesting chat yesterday with a gentie- man who recently spent several weeks in Cuba on « government mission and whose opportuni- thes for observing the attitude of the people at large upon this topic were excellent, THE PROPOSED SALE OF CUBA NOT A STORY TO BE LAUGHED at. “J should not laugh too much at this story.” referring to the New York dispatch, “if I were you, for, although I do not think that anyone Feally came to this couniry with any such pow- ers as the gentlemen spoken of in the dispatch seemed to be vested with, 1 nevertheless be- lieve that Spain is actually feeling her way to an honorable disposal of the isiand to the United States. That is, I think that Spain sees that she must do something with this piece ef property while it is yet worth some- thing, and it is certamiy worth a good deal to the United States. Just as soon as Spain sees an opening in the American juuniet for Ser real estate she i going to make diplomatic overtures for its wale. No one tan tell what she would ask, or what the United Btates would be willing to give. There is cer- tainly a vast amount of value in the island which has never been brought out fully by the application of capital There is a very large class of the very best citizens of Cuba who are ANXIOUS FOR ANNEXATION. “These are generally called the peninsulares, from their having been born on the Spaftish peninsula, They are by far the best class of ¢e1tizens of which Cuba can boast, but this con- dition lasts only as long as they are native-born Spaniards. Those of Cuban birth, even of the second generation, are far inferior. and astheir Spanish birth gets farther and farther awa they become more and more worthless, until they get to be the veritable Cuban—lazy, hot- headed, illogical, improvident, unenterprising. ‘This latter class comprises all who are earu- estly anxious for autonomy or absolute inde- mee. It is from this that the revo- Fitionnts come, and it is this class that gives Spain most trouble in the government of the island. The others, the peninsulares, are about one-third of the whites, who are alto- gether about eleven or twelve hundred thousand | Mr. Heffner, in number, There are really but THREE POLITICAL CLASSES IX CURA, those I have just mentioned and the office- holding party, which is very small but quite powerful. As they draw their sustenance from Spain they are of course anxious for a continu- their influence is all that has kept Cuba in a colonial state so long. There are but « few thousend in number at the most. It is not to! # be doubted that if the question were put toa| was that five negroes were killed. The ote of the people the island would soon be sold to the United States. The peninsulares, You see, are enterprising people, mostiy small | their only object being to beat planters out of merchants and in some cases farmers, who have come to Cuba for the purpose of making money to take back with them to Spain on which to live out their old age. If they can accumulate a thousand dollars or so to take with them back to their old homes they will be nabobs in the poverty-striken land from which they emigrated. They see that Cuba is not being developed as her resources warrant and that if affairs were in the hands of the United States she WOULD BE FAR MORE PROSPEROVS. “They have just enough common sense to per- ceive the great advantage which American capital has over that of Spain, not only in amount but also in the manner of application, and there have been just enough instances there of American success to encourage them to look anxiously to this country to make their small investments good and profitable. In this sttitade they are quite as mercenary as the office holders in theirs. The other whites, the native-born Cubans, are willing enough to join forces with any one to antagonize Spain, although they have had qnite a sufficiency of revolutions and their evil effects, CUBAN NEWSPAPERS OUTSPOKEN FOR ANNEXATION “There is, of course, a strict censorship exer- cised over all the writings of the newspapers. but many are outspoken in their advocacy of annexation, which they do not hesitate to pro- nounce the only thing that will save Cuba from utter degradation. ‘There is no doubt as to the alue of the island. It is very rich in minerals, ich are now being worked for the first time in a profitable way. At Santiago de Cuba a yery rich mine of the best Bessemer iron has just been opened up by means of New York capital and there are innumerable instances of good investments being made in Cuban estates. ‘TAXED TO DEATH. “One of the great canses of discontent among the white class is the heavy tax under which everybody labors. It would verily seem as though everything in sight was taxed. Spain has adopted the farming system, and so there is am infinise variety of sources from which one may at any moment receive an unexpected visit from a tax collector. I have seen these fellows stop & man who was wheeling a wheel- barrow across a street and drag him off to pay his tax, which must be paid or the poor seller goes to prison. Should you hang a picture in You office or house « man might walk in at any time sud peste @ 5-cent stamp upon it and col- lect the damage from you. This, of course. has a good deal to do with the discontent, and if it is carried much farther, and there is no lief from the United States, I should not be surprised to see trouble there.” Cuzay Exccunsiova to ATLaNtic City via tr B. asp O.—On Friday of each week dur- ing June, July snd August the Baltimore and io railroad will sell excursion tickets to At- lantie City, good going on train leaving Balti- more and Ohio depot at 12 o'clock noon and good to return on any regular train to and in- cluding the following Tuesday at rate of $5.00 for the round trip.

Vernon, Ala. Correspondence of Tux Evexine STAR. Mr. Vennon, AvA., July & An interesting ceremony took place at St Thomas’ Church here recently. It was the baptism of Geronimo’s squaw and papoose. He brought them himself to the priest for that purpose, accompanied by one of the Indians who speaks very good English to express his wishes. The squaw was instructed by Rev. H. O'Grady, pastor, for the holy sacrament of baptism throngh the interpreter and was re- ceived into the Catholic Church, and is called Maria; the child’s name is Frances, Princess of the Apaches. The sponsors were chosen from the citizens of this place, who were glad to comply with the chief's wishes, He was dressed becomingly for the occasion and painted in highest colors. He watched intently every movement of the priest and seemed to full; appreciate overy word that was uttered, kneel- ing during the ceremony. Later in the even- ing the priest administered the last sacraments to a dying squaw that he discovered by acci- dent during his visit to the camp. Seeing her on her bed of suffering, wasted and dying of consumption, he apoke to hor and showed her the crucifix. The language sbe could not un- derstand, but when she saw the crucifix she smiled and reached for it. By this he knew sho was a Catholic, He then drove back and returned prepared to annoint her. She seemed rejoiced in her dying moments and | ep the crucifix with firm hold and mat- tered a prayer in her own language, and the crucifix was with difficulty taken from her. The other Indians knelt around the dying woman with respect and devotion, and the sacrament was administered in the open air beneath the beautiful sheltering oaks of old Mt. Vernon. She died that night. This im- pressed the Indians deeply and the next day there were more brought to the church to be baptized. The babies were baptized, but the | older ones bad to be left over to be instructed for the sacrament until next time. These poor, ignorant creatures mean well, and from their actions Spanish missionaries ‘must have at one tame been among them, for their fondest orna- | ment is across. It is carved on the trees around their camp and is held in great respect by them. Ose Wao Saw ALL. FIVE COLORED MEN KILLED. Shot Down by Men who ure Alleged to be Sott Hearted. Sunday night twenty-five laborers from the plantation of A. Heffuer, near Oak Ridge, Moorehouse parish, La., and whose passage he had paia from North Carolina, quit their homes and commenced, under cover of night, to make their way into Chicot county, Ark. ‘They were pursued by a posse of friends of and yesterday morning were | no harm and only asked their return to their the negroes opened fire on the posse and for one minute did some wild shooting. The posse returned the fire and the result running away from the men who have brought labor from North Carolina the past season, their passage to Louisiana, has become too common during the past two months, 2 pod = NO OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE, The Spanish Republicans Open a Lively H Campaign of Aggression. The republican newspapers of Spain have opened a campaign of aggression and accuse Queen Christiana of meditating marriage with a German prince, They also allege that the Emperor of Germany and an Austrian, a rich duke, are coming to Madrid in the autumn to induce the queen to join the triple alliance. ‘The republicuns are seeking to stir up the Spanish people against foreign interferertce in | the domestic affairs of Spain. Senor Asagoista, | in a violent speech at the liberal clu), suid that should the government resort to ‘arbitrary pressure on the electors the liberals and demo- erate will join hands to oppose such tyranny. SOLD HIS BODY TO A MUSEUM. The “Bird of Death’s” Singular Fate and Gruesome Contract. A man, known as the “Bird of Death,” em- ployed in the Vienna general hospital, met with a singular fate in the discharge of his gruesome duties, His name waa Alois Faxes, He was about fifty-five years old and of hercu- lean physique. For thirty-three years he car- ried all the corpses from the mortuary cham- ber, hence his weird name, which the hospital jesters gave him. He died Monday of blood poisoning. caused | by handling the body of a patient who died from an infectious disease. Some years ago he sold for cash his own body toa museum man- ager and spent the money indrink. Yesterday his body was handed over to the purchaser. - see English Pork Factories in Servia.

A terrible explosion occurred late yesterday stternoon at King’s powder mills, on the Little Miami railroad, twenty-nine miles east of Cin- cinnati, Ten persons were killed and thirty or more seriously injured. Two empty freight cars were being rolled on to a side track where scar containing five hundred kegs of gun- powder was standing. As the cars struck there ‘was a terrific explosion, and immediately after- ward another car containing eight hundred kegs of gunpowder exploded, making thirteen bundred kegs altogether. Wm. Frauly,s brakeman in the servico of the Little Miami, was standing on one of the empty cars when the explosion occurred, His body must have been blown toatoms, although no trace of ithas yet been found. Five other persons, supposed to be employes of the powder company, were killed. ‘The King Powder Company and the Peters Cartridge Works have works on both sides of the river along the railroad. The explosion occurred on the south side and the destruction was enormous, There are a number of cot- tages occupied by workm: in the powder situated close to the track. These xplosion and their in- or fifteen girls at work in the cartridge factory were crippled by the explosion. The railway station and the freight house belonging to the Little Miami railroad, together with all the adjacent buildings, we: set on fire and totally destroyed. The havoc wrought by the explosion of the sixteen tons of powder is dreadful. The track and ties of the railroad are fairly torn out of the ground and a great hole ploughed in the ground. The Peters cartridge factory was burned to the ground. Nothing but a mass of blackened, smouldering ruins remains to mark the spot where the building stood. As soon as the news reached Cincinnati, about 5o’clock, a relief train was dispatched to the scene of the disaster with Supt. Peters and alarge party of surgeons on board and relief was afforded the sufferers as soon as possible. News from King’s mills at 9 o'clock last night was that ten dead bodies have been taken from the ruins and thirty are known to be wounde d. Detinite news is more likely to ewell the list of casualties than to diminish it A MILLION IN SMOKE. A Seven-Story Ware House Burned to the Ground in Minneapolis. The large seven-story ware house of the Se- curity Ware House Company on Ist street and 4th avenue north, owned by Wood and Moore, Minneapolis, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon, entailing a loss of nearly a million dollars, The fire caught upon the second floor of the building and is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. Two men, 'W. W. Morse, one of the proprietors, and the engineer, were rescued by means of ladders from the fourth floor. They were almost blinded and suffocated by the dense smoke. Upon the north stood a three-story stone building, owned by Matt Kees and occupied as a dwelling house by a number of Jewish families. This was crushed flat, as was a one- story frame building used as a shipping room, The burned ware house was erected in April of this year and was used as a storage and transfer ware house, and was one of the largest establishments of its kind in Minneapolis, It cost about 250,000 and was insured for 35.000. Its proprietors say they will rebuild at once. ‘The first floor was occupied as a shipping room, the second by offices, the third by the William Deering Company, the fourth by the Appleton Manufacturing Company, the fifth and sixth by general storage and the seventh by furni- ture, The losses are as follows: National Cordage Company. binding twine, $235,000, in- William Deering & Co.’ of Chicago, $125,000; Emerson, Talcott & Co., Rockford, Ill., $25,000; Grand Detour Plow Company, Dixon.

There wav a lurge quantity of silver ware burned. All the insurance save that on the building was held outside the city. ———+o2_____—__ A TYPHOID FEVER SCOURGE. Two Hundred Victims ina Village and Four Deaths Daily. The citizens of Manor. a village of 500 inhab- itants, near Greensburg, Pa., are panic stricken owing to the prevalence of a malignant type of typhoid fever. There are now over 200 cases in the town and there has been an average of four deatbs each day within the past two weeks. Appeals have been sent to other towns for physicians and nurses.

In point of fact, it may be trathfally said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world These avermenta are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the yeur 1889, published in Tux Sram on the 18th of January, 1890. sbove claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circa- tation of any other paper Washing: ton! 2 The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published in the city added te gether!! 3. The Star bas a targer and fuller circujation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas: ing population, than any other news paper in the world!!! 4. The Siar bas the largest regular and permanent bowe circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper im the United States ttt! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: PAILY CIRCULATION Ix 1885-86-87-88-88, 1583. INS6.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered datly by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers, ‘The remaining 6.740 copies represont the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly +o per- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not housebolders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tne Stan a distinctive aul enviable Position m modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the houschold, and particularly by the pur= chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel ‘This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tux Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more curely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMGNTS WRINTED 1885-86-87 58-0 1886. 1887. 3,200 3,064 3.806 4,353, 1883, 1sss, 4,076 Booed 4,603 4,986 SA7L 4,608 3915 1ss9. 4,586 4,528 5,494 3.886 6.033 5,529 4,453 4,608 5.899 6,559 6,107 5.795 Torat 61,499 45,910 34,038 54,801 €5,523 Dut it is pot alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied ia 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise ‘ments in 1588 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily “average was 29.75 colamns, or 9223 columns i= the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious year of 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the in the way of tax sales, poil lists, election returns, ete., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included in its patrom age. A In conclasion, it is only necessary to say that, in proportion to the extent and high character Of its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, fimally, thet every statement herein made can be abundantly verified THE CIR CULATION OF THE PAPER 18 SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MaY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 8 DITEBEST Ii THEIR EXAMINATION.
