A dispatch from Tarrytown to the New York Herald says: Have the Rockefellers, through their counsel, Howard H. Morse, bought out the controlling interest in the Press Record, a local democratic paper, published in this village? Such is the ques- tion that is being asked in Tarrytown. The Rockefellers have been fighting the asses- sors of the town of Mount Pleasant and of the village of North Tarrytown, on their assessments. It is understood they have been greatly annoyed by these lawsuits, and William Rockefeller one day last spring remarked to Robert Henry, a sewer com- missioner in North Tarrytown, that he or his brother had never taken any active in+ terest in local politics, but that hereafter they would. The Press Record has for years been a very strong democratic sheet. Last week, in an editorial, it announced that it may come out as an independent paper. The Famous Methodist Preacher Author of Popular Hymn. The Rev. Dr. John Atkinson, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Haver- straw, N.

Kavanaugh, who were arest- ed Tuesday evening by Detectives Baur and Muller on the charge of passing a counterfeit $10 note on the bartender at Warren's saloon, had a partial hearing to- day before United States Commissioner Mills. At the request of the government the further investigation of the case was postponed until the detectives can get some additional evidence, which they hope to editorials In the paper have been very strong in favor of the Rockefellers of late and have been hitting the assessors hard. The Rockefellers want to get their men in power. With the influence of a paper and with the large force of men which they employ on their estates they could undoubt- edly carry the election their way. Two years ago John D. Rockefeller entered into politics, and a warmer election was never witnessed. Mr. Morse, their present coun- sel, was elected president over John Web- ber, who was thought invincible. ——_+ ee.

PLANTING AUTONOMY (Continued from First Page.) others are asking—What is Blanco going to do with them? They are a militant pollt- ical force, rather than/a'iecal militia. They have arnis. Is the captain general going to leave these arms where they may not be aimed as the government directs? The volunteers are not what they were in the ten years’ war, when they causéd the blcody sacrifice of the fhedical students and cowed the powers at Madrid. Yet they are still an organization, if not to be dread- ed by the government, at least to be con- trolled. They have one restraining in- fluence. Artisans and clerks, for the most part, the volunteers reflect the sentiments of their employers. These employers are the merchants and manufacturers of Ha- vana. They are the property owners. They have the most to lcse if the city is ever given over to rioting and anarchy. So their influence may be relied on to uphold pub- lic order and obedience to the constituted authorities. Yet this Spanish employing class is doing nothing to bring the voiun- teers in line with the government policy. In a mild way it deprecates the feeling against Americans which at times breaks out among the ignorant hot heads, because that is fraught with known consequences. But in encouraging these young fellows to stand by the government there is littie trace. So the problem of what to do with the volunteers is one of the gravest that Captain General Blanco has to solve in the midst of other perplexities. Submerged in Misery. While these matters are occupying at- tention the submerged portion of the popu- lation—submerged in misery—cannot be forgotten. They are. not obtrusive, but they cannot take themselves entirely out of sight. Their condition is the more evi- dent now because of the contrasts. Ha- vana is trying to be the Havana that once was, of the opera and the theater and bril- liant social functions. The theaters have opened and they are crowded nightly. But I do not think either the officials or the army officers, or the common run of peo- ple who know where their lodging and next meal is coming from find it possible to forget in the midst of gay surroundings the suffering that is endured around them. It is reiterated to me that the conditions are not as bad as formerly. The sweep- ings of misery are not seen in public places to so great an extent. Death has helped to sweep clean some of the thor- oughfares, yet the streets are filled with children whose starvation pinched feat- ures make an appeal to the almoner need- less. The alms come without the asking. Nightly whole families crouch in door- ways or huddle together on the sidewalks. They literally have no place to which they can go. The municipality is doing something to relieve the distress of the city poor. 1 watched the distribution of rations one evening at the “‘abras muncipales,” or city hall. Fifteen hundred are said to be on the list the names from which are read off. Each person whose name was called received a quantity of thick gruel, vary- ing from a tin cup full to a quart and from one to three biscuits. This appor- tionment was according to the size of the family. The biscuits seemed fresh and good. Many women and children were among those who were supplied, yet 1 never saw a distribution of food to the poor where so many mén came forward and received a share, It could be seen, however, that the class which was aided belonged to Havana. The starving coun- try people were not among them. While 1,500 persons thus get food enough to keep them from starvation 10,000 who are in want receive nothing. Secretary General Congosto stoutly declares that the gov- ernment Is taking effectual measures of relief. “We know there is yet much misery,” he says, e know that what we are doing may not show for a while, but the government is distributing both food and money and the conditions of those poor creatures will soon show itself bet- ter.” My own painful impression has been pened by every day's observation until it has become a question whether even the remnant of these poor people can escape the death sentence which Weyler placed upon them. The Cry of the Insurgents. The answer to the proposals of autonomy which the insurgents gave in Pinar del Rio the other day is causing quiet com- ment on the hopelessness of persuading them into accepting the new regime. It is as well for all parties that the failure of either conciliating or forcing them by su- perior arms should be known thus eart: The engagement came as near being a bat- tle as any of the fighting that has taken place for a long time. By their own show- ing the Spanish troops under Generals Ber- nal and Velasco numbered 2,300, Actually 3,000 of them are said to have been involv- ed. This is double the number of rebels which the authorities have been willing to admit were in the entire province. The of- ficial accounts carefully edited virtually ad- mit failure, though they recite a’ heavy mortality among the bahios or palm hut: If the troops could not catch the insur- gents, they at least, according to the of- ficial version, were able to find many of these huts among the hills and destroyed them. The insurgents went into the fight crying “Down with autonomy!” Their claim of actual victory is not without founda- tion. The Spanish losses are known to have been heavy, while the losses of the insurgents were light. Senor Canalejas, the Madrid editor and former cabinet min- ister, who was with the troops, has had little to say of the engagement since his return to Havana. However, he will go back to Madrid with a definite understand- ing of the extent to which Pinar del Rio is pacified and of the difficulties which are yet in the way of implanting autonomy. The Insurgents’ Tax on Sugar. The grinding of sugar cane, which has begun on some of “the” plantations, has given a roving notiop that peace is on the eve of prevailing. The ¢rop is about equal to that of last year, or a trifle more than one-fifth of what dt -was in 1895. The chances are that the cane will be ground and the sugar placed on the market, yet this will not be becauSsé of any protection the military authorities are able to give. It will be because the New York parties who are to handle the product have arranged to pay the tax the insurgent government has levied. Their representative who has been in Cuba has succeeded in his negotia- tions, and the word has been given to pro- ceed with the grinding. For every bag of sugar that is warehoused 50 cents will be paid, or nearly one-sixth of a cent per pound. The agreement is ironclad and can- not be evaded, because the insurgents count the boys in the warehouses. The financial resources of the revolution will be materially strengthened through this source of income. How Boston People Work. A few planters expect to escape the tax. ‘The Boston people who have vlantations in the neighborhood of Cienfuegos are among them. Their influonce with national administrations enabled them to get troops enough detailed by Weyler to give ade- quate protection to their plantations with- out paying either troops or insurgents. In return they were able to show what reemcd to be proof of ability to influence ‘Washington sentimert against recognition of the inaurgents...They .expect -the same protection under Blanco, with the same equivaleat on their part.

The Bostonians, in addition to getting their sugar marketed cheaper than their competitors can possi- bly do, bring back American gold, which is received in payment, change it imto de- preciated paper currency at a handsome profit and pay the laborers on their plan- tations in this scrip. The whole transac- tion has been so profitable that their plea against the United States intervening in Cuban affairs, cn the ground of humanity to the starving country people, was un- doubtedly sincere. Intervention on any ground would interfere with the increased dividends which the little group of Bos- ton capitalists has been able to make out of the misery and the gnawing distress of Cuba. They have assurance of labor enough for their plantations, though the rest of the country population of Cuba may be exterminated. CHARLES M. PEPPER. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Great Interest Centered in the Contest for a Tudgeship. Result Said to Depend Upon Senator Mushbach’s Vote—General and Personal News. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street, Bell ‘Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va.. December 9, 1897. A dispatch from Richmond says that one of the most interesting contests before the state legislature is that over the judgeship ot Fairfax and Alexandria counties, the position now held by Judge James M. Love. Mr. Louis C. Barley, Judge Love's opponent, is confined to his home in this city by sickness. The caucus for nomination to this posi- tion was to have been held last night, but owing to the absence of State Senator George A. Mushbach of this city, upon whose vote the situation is said to de- pend, it was postponed until his return to Richmond. Mr. Barley is represented in Richmond by Mr. Samuel G. Brent, who was a prominent “gold democrat” during the recent campa postmaster of thi nd Mr. C. C. Carlin, of the Alexandria bar, is in Richmond in the interest of Judge Love, and ts one of Ex-State Sen- his staunchest supporters. ator R.
