Our Part to Maintain Order on the Island, Leaving the People to Set Up Their Own Government. A letter from President Maso of the Cu- ban provisional government to President McKinley has been made public. It is dated Santa Cruz del Sur, September 23, and says: “To His Excellency William McKinley, President of the United States of Amer- lea: “Sir: The supreme authority of the Cu- ban revolution, the government council of the republic of Cuba, over which I preside, has the honor to address your excellency, through me, with the purpose of laying be- fore you the attitude of the Cuban revolu- tionists, and calling your attention to mat- ters of great importance in relation to Cu- ban affairs. “The protocol signed on the 12th of last month means the end of the terrible strug- gie which we have waged for three and a half years, and the glorious fulfillment of the intimation made by that government to that of Spain on the 20th of April of this year. “The renouncing by Spain of all pretense of sovereignty and dominion over the tslang of Cuba, and pledging herself to evacuate immediately, consummate in the sphere of law the declaration of the American Con- gress that the Cuban people are and of right ought to be free and independent. The withdrawal of the Spanish army and authorities, now being discussed by the American and Spanish governments, will soon make the flag which has caused ¢0 much misfortune to this unhappy country to cease waving over it. “From that day will commence the ar- dvous and difficult task of establishing in Cuba a firm and stable government, which shall be the legitimate expression of the free will of its people, and shall constitute a real guarantee of order, peace and lib- erty, which the Cubans so ardently wish fas. “Even if there be no direct relations be- tween the American government and this government council, there can be no denial that there is a fundamental agreement as to our ends. The logic of events has im- posed it, ana will also impose it in our line of action. The Cuban revolution, since its inception, has had, and today it has more than ever, for its aim the independence of Cuba, so as to establish in it a democratic republic. “For a long time the Cubans had seen that it was impossible to give a final and } convenient solution to the problems arising out of the interesis of Cuba without first destroying the first obstacle which op- posed it. “The Spanish domination was that insur- passable obstacle; the origin and root of all the misfortunes of Cuba must cease, so that the affairs of Cuba could be studied and resolved. For that reason independence was our foremost aspiration and the watchword with which we, the Cubans, went to war. The evacuation. of Cuba by Spain was and is the sole and only way by which we can reach the end desired by the Cubans, that is to be the masters of our destinies, so as to resolve by ourselves our affairs and to direct our public interests. “The complex labor in which we have been and are engaged has been but in part realized “The people and government of the United States, interested for many reasons in the condition of affairs in Cuba, under- stood also that for the solution of the Cuban question it was indispensable that Spain should abandon the island forever, and the United States when it decided to intervene in our affairs commenced by sol- emnly declaring our indepencence. And they understood also, as we understood, that the independence was only the first step In our problem, so as to give an op- portunity to the Cubans to constitute a 1e- spectable government, capable of fulfill- ing its internal as well as its international duti ‘one others have been our aims. They have been repeatedly and explicitedly de- clared by those authorized to speak in the name of the Cuban revolution. This can fied by reading our public docu- uch as the constitution of the Cu- ban revolutionary party, the manifesto of Monte Cristi; the constitution of the 16th the manifesto signed by the congress of representatives of same date, and the one signed by me on the 24th of this year, by resolution of the government council over which I preside. “We san say that the American people and their government have recognized our flag, as they nave recognized the independ- ence of Cuba, have decreed the cessation of the sovercignty of Spain over the island and havi rted their determination to pacify the island, and when that is accom- plished to leave the government and con- trol of the island to its people. Co-Operation With the United States. “For these reasons the government coun- cil, as the supreme authority of the revo- lution, has tnspired all of its acts in the aim of sustaining and aiding the policy of the American government. “As soon as hostilities began between the United States and Spain it directed the jers of the Cuban forces to co-operate in the campaign of the American forces. And after the hostilities were suspended it has ordered the Cuban army to suspend jons also. : re now face to with a series of probiems entailing the final pacification of the island and the establishment of a vernment chosen by the will of all the Ss “We believe it our duty to lay before the American government the conduct we are to follow. “All political relations with Spain hav- ing been broken and Spanish rule being denied by us and ignored by the United States, while ours {s respected and remains in force, we have resolved to maintain it and strengthen it so that it shall consti- tute the nucleus around which all the liv- ing forces of the country shall concentrate in order that it shall be the legal start- ing point for the future development of Cuban polities. “Complying with our constitution, the only legal laws which today in Cuba have ree, we have called for an assembly of representatives to meet on the 10th of Oc- tober, so that the urgent questions dealing with ‘the present and future of Cuba shall be discussed and determined. “The reason of our resolution can be easily understood. When the representa- tives of the Cuban people in arms assem- bled at Jimaguayu, in September, 1895, they agreed upon and voted a constitution in conformity to the necessities of the war; this constitution was to last for two years, unless the war ended before. ‘These two years having terminated, the assembly met again and decreed the present constitution organizing the present government accord- ing to the exigencies of the revolutionary period. This constitution states that when the independence of Cuba shall have been attained a -ew assembly of representatives shall be called to provide for the pro- visionel administration and government of the republic until the final constituent as- sembly shall have met. It {s that assem- bly of representatives first spoken of which we have called together, and which is not to establish a final political status for Cu- ba, but to facilitate its accomplishment by a work for which this government council is not empowered. “The government council was constituted for the war period: its sphere of action ends with the peace. It has not the means to es- tablish the broad basis of a rule for all the elements which must particinate in the public affairs of Cuba. Our cail of today 1s addressed to all the persons that we can reach, without distinctions, differences or exclusions. And as our aims have never been to deliver Cuba to a victorious tac- tion which shall consider the island as its prey, but to obtain independence for Cuba, and for all Cubans, so as to establish a lib- eral political ‘system, based on liberty, or- der and respect for all legitimate inter- ests, relying, as we rely, upon the decisive support of the immense majority of the Cuban people, we shall establish a situa- tion capable of fully meeting all the ne- cessities of this period ad interim, which has already commenced. New Government of Cuba, “Thusthe final government tn Cuba will be born of laws and institutions genuinely Cu- ban,and there will exist in the island a legal entity which, with the co-operation of the American government, will attend to the settlement of grave questions relating to S_4- “THE DEPENDABLE STORE,” — 924-26-28 7th st., running through to 704-6 K st.

Maine when she was biown up. Peggie is now at Key West. She is a pretty little dog. She was a tiny puppy when first given to the captain of the Maine, a littl: more than a year ego, and was very full of fun and mischief. She al- ways slept in the cabin, and amused her self by “worrying’’ any shoes she found, and dragging about anything she could, as most puppi2s do. She always followed the captain everywhere, no matter how many steps and ladders were to be climbed. This caused her to break her leg one day. The leg was put ir splints; but Peggle could not keep still enovgh to have it knit properly, so when she was well this leg was a little shorter tha2 the others. Peggie was very fond of rushing at the waste paper besket and dragging out the ecntents. Sie would whine and cry in a very funny way when she could not get them out. She regarded with great suspi- cion any one in civilian dress coming on board the Maine, and barked at all who were not in uniform. She could turn a scmersault if you held her head down a second One day she came into the cabin with a chicken bone sticking out of one side of ker mouth and a pretty nasturtium blos- sem in the other side. She looked so cute tkat I wisn I had the picture to show you. One ear stuck up and the other lay down, giving her a very comical expression. She knew just what she wanted to do. Laying the flower carefully down in one corner, she took the bone into another and proceeded to eat It. After the bone had been dispused of she took the flower in her mouth again, and finally left it at the captain’s feet. Once she was taken driving at Key West. and while the c: was in motion she jumped out of the vehicle on one side into it at the other, until the person she was with feared she would break all her legs. Afterward she thought the horses’ tails were meant especially for her to play with; so over the dashboard to bite the tails, and down under the horses’ feet she Peggic, a THE HOHENZOLLERN. Emperor William’s Magnificent Yacht in Which He Journeys. From the New York Tribune. The magnificent crulser Hohenzollern, the private yacht of the German emperor, in which the imperial party has been making the journey to the ortent, is one of the ™mecst remarkable vessels of the German fleet. She is fitted and arrang2d with all the conveniences of a first-class hotel, but is also fully equipped for attack or de- fense. The Hohenzollern was built by the Vulcan Company, in Stettin, and was fin- ished in 1803. Her engines have a capacity of 9,460 horse power, and on her trial trip she developed such speed that the emperor telegraphed to the builders: “By this great work you have placsd in my possession a vessel which, at least temporerily, is the fastest in Europe.” The kaiser has made many cruises on board the Hohenzoliern, the annual trip alorg the Norwegian coast always attract- ing much attention. On th2se trips the kaiser lays aside form and ceremony, and court etiquette makes room for “gemuth- lichkeit.””. His traveling companions and the commanding officer and several of the officers of the Hohenzollern sit at the im- perial table. Breakfast is served at 9 o'clock, dinner, in old German style, at 1 o'clock and supper at 8. In the course of a trip ali the kaiser’s table companions have a place at the tabls either next or opposite to him at least once, and the ta- ble party is not compelled to converse in the low tone which prevails at court din- ners.

From the Chicago Reeord. A member of General Miles’ staff tells of an Incident down at Tampa before the de- parture of the troops for Santiago. The general was standing in the office of the Tampa Bay Hotel one evening, dressed in 4 plain business suit and smoking a cigar, when a tall, raw-boned private from the Sth Maryland Regiment strolled up to him and said: “Say, partner, give us a light.” The man addressed put his hand in his pocket, drew out a silver case, took a match from it, struck fire and handed it politely to the soldier, who thanked him and lighted his cigar. The encounter was witnessed by the por- ter of the hotel, who watched his chance and said to the soldier: “Who was the man that gave you the match?” “I don’t know, except that he is a gen- tleman,” returned the Maryland boy. “Well, I'll tell you who he is,” said the porter, “and you won't feel so big when wrap lips was General Miles.”" “The devil you say!” was the re: ; the soldier walked off in chogtn Aman. ing his opportunity, he stepped up to the general with a salute, and said: “General, I have to apologize for what may have seemed to you an impertinence, but I had never seen you before, and you wore nothing to indicate your rank, so I took the liberty of addressing you as I would any stranger, and I hope you will excuse me for it.” “Don’t let that worry you,” said General rary “I was a private soldier once my- self.” lent If you want work read the want columns of The Star.
