THE STARTING OF DAIRY FARMS Bitterness of Feeling Between Spaniards and Cubans. ANNEXATION TALE —— ‘ight, 1898, by Charles M. Pepper.} Special Prom a Staff! Correspondent. MATANZAS, Cuba, November 10, 1898. Two pushing young Americans came out from Havana the other morning. On their arrival they ve gusted to learn that it Was a church holiday, for they wanted te do business. They feared this holiday wa¢ like the Fourth of July or Christmas it the states. They had not been in Cuba long, or they would have known betier. They quickly learred of their mistake, anc then they started out, as they called it, to hustle, Here another surprise awaited them. They were not the first cn the ground. Ocher Americans had been ahead of them. These young fellows were in the cattle business. They proposed to establish a dairy farm, and they were also tnoking into the chances for a ranch. The !mporta- tion of cattle is one of the few things that does not have to wait for American control of the custom houses, because Blanco’s au- tonomist cabinet has made it free. A Phil- adelphia firm has bought a large tract of grazing land rear Cienfuegos and fs stock- ing it. A New Orleans company has ob- tained a ranch near Cardenas. Other enterprises of this kind are under wiuy. The manager of the largest Spanish importing house in this part of the islasd teld me there was much money in import- ing cattle, and the “shrewd Americans” were getting it. The business does not have to wait the slower processes of agr' cultural recuperation, which are necessar before trade opportunities will come. A dearth existed of cattle for consumption, and for dziries as well as for oxen for the sugar plantations. Ending this famine h been a profitable transaction both to the ve: sel-carrying trade cf the gulf and to the im- porters. There fs litte fear of a glut in the market, for after the immediate wants are supplied cattle raising promises to continue Trofitable. That is the judgment of thos who are investing their money in it. The young Americans who came to Matanzas, while they did not find themselves the first ones, have found that there is room fot them, and they wil! start their dairy farm. The Feast of San Carlos, To return to the holiday. 1t was the feast of San Carlos, the patron of Matan- zas. Had a general suspension of busine been required there would have been little to suspend, for the trade of the town is ssively dull. The Spanish flag is sup- sed to fly Sundays and holidays, and it did flutter in a dozen places, all of which preyed to be military quarters. Beyond this there was no indication of Spanish sovereignty. The chimes from the old church were as resonant as those in the cathedral at Havana. I cro} the street and entered, remaining long enough to ob- serve that the majority of worshipers were women. Some Spanish officers were there and a few men who were Cubans. Three- fourths of the women and children were in black. That is the reminder everywhere met with of the mourning which the strug- gle to free Cuba brought to so many fami- lies. I am afraid the sanctuary did not soften the bitterness which exists between the Cuban and the Spanish women, ‘They were ostentatious in their avoidance of one another. Forgiven one of the vi tues of Saint Charles, as of all the saint: and in discoursing on the patron of Ma- tanzas whose festival the day commemorat- ed the priest undoubtedly exhorted his flock, to emulate this virtue. When another year around and the feast of San Carlos ebrated it may be with forgive- charity. This year the bitter been suffered are too sweetened. y of fee are called the better c the Spaniards !s more tanzas than elsewhere between what sses of Cubans and pronounced in Ma- It will not lead to ng trouble, because they both know that the United States will stand nothing of that sort. The animosity does not extend to the ma The Spanish soldiers and the insurgents do not fraternize, yet they get along well together. The movilizodos or blacks who have been part of the Spanish forces will soon be disbanded and in a few waeks will be working by the side of the insurgents on such of the plantations as have sugar to cut and grind. This state- ment seemed a doubtful one to me, for the movilizodos look anything rather than peaceful, but several sugar planters con- firmed it. The are in a position to know better than a stranger. As regards the animosity between the educated Cubar and the Spaniards the causes are too deep to be readily healed. Mi-Feeling Agni The Spanish cl more ill-fecling t than their felloy Rio, or else they ar xt the United States. n Matanzas have aiso ward the United Sta wvana and Pinar del politic in conce ing it. A larger pre ion of | civilian merchants znd other; follow ‘the troops back to § her than remain under the Ameri This is not true of one or two grea prcial houses, which have too much money invested to withdraw. is true of other tradesmen, who, for one thing, know that the favoritism which en- abled them to make money in the past is exded. In ume, when the province back io its normal production of sui Matanzas shows signs of its former ccmmec- cial activity, the cnance will be open for American merchants to come in and take advantage of the opening caused by the withdrawal of the Spanish merchants While the sentiment of the majority of Spaniards in Matanzas is sullen and bitter, be said in justice that there is no sive exhibition of it. Nowhere has the ization of what it meant to go to war gar an with the United States been so keen. Th is especially true of the military forces. The offic are not gay or indifferent, as in other places. The authorities are not pre- tending that they can prolong their stay in Cuba indefinitely. The military band does not play in the plaza Thursday and Sun- nights. That shallow mockery is still niained at other places. “We feel too badly’ was the frank statement,of one of the to me. The official announcement ale of military effects are not print- ry are written and affixed to the walls at the barracks. The condition of the pri- vate soldicrs is pitiable. Their uniforms are worn and torn and patched. Their shoes are full of holes. Few of them pretend to the luxury of socks. Their pay is only promise, which cannot be turned into cash. In all their sufferings they are behaving with moderation. The officers frequent the cafes, That is a habit which Is ingrained, but the groups in the cafes are rarely en- gaged in animated and trifling talk, such as I have heard at other towns. This de- pression of a defeated army commands more respect than the cyntcal indifference shown by other divisions and regiments. Yet {t is a dejected and weary waiting for the trans- ports which are to take these troops back to the peninsula. Politics in Active. In the midst of so much stagnation and depression politics is active. The Spanish element which means to stay wants annex- ation, but is not impatient, and is not in- clined to antagonize the Cubans on that subject. The Spanish manager who gave me the information about the cattle impor- tations, said: * We will get along all right as soon as your people take control of the custom houses and fix the duties. After that we can wait.” Mr. Diaz, the Cuban born manager of one of the railroads, said: “I think the result of American military controi will be annexation, and that it will come naturaily. You must not give too much importance to the excited talk you hear. We are of the Latin race. The biood s quickly to our heads. The Cubans, we been in the fleld, will in time want to be Americans, though they are not of that opinion now. But they will go back to work on the plantations and will net op- post the authority of the United States,” Some of the members of the Matanzas junta, or revolutionary committee, which sustained the insurrection, are aggressive in their advocacy of annexation. Their convictions are entitled to weight, for they were of @s much service as those who rs | | SAGASTA’S DREAM. SHADE OF UNCLE SAM: “WAKE UP?” fought in the brush. Several told me I would find the insurgents favorable not only to temporary American control, but to permanent authority. But 1 did not find it so, and my means of information were pretty thorough. The insurgents under General Betancourt have their camp a few miles out on the San Jaun river. They are getting enough to cat without foraging on the country, and they are going to work on the sugar plantations as soon as their labor is needed. On these points there is no difference of opinion as on the further one that they will acquiesce in the American military occupation. That this means they are favorable to annexation, as some of the members of the junta in Matanzas said, 1 have seen no evidence. They look upon the raising of the flag as a temporary measure, preliminary to the establishment of an independent government. 1 have found nothing to justify a broader state- ment. While sitting in the plaza last night an- other evidence of the feeling of the Cubans was afforded me. A lad of twelve, one of a group of 2 or eight Cuban boys, was asking que the fighting at Santiago. school in New York city for two yea had just come home. Ail these lads were ed and belonged to families which ss me: “The United States will take Porto Rico and the Philippines from Spain?” said their spokesman. added, with the gravity. of a statesman, “That is righ “And Cu I asked. “Cuba for the Cubans’ his quick reply I quizzed the other lads « the same reply nd. they all had yw the opinion of boys of twelve or thirteen years is not in itself of much account, but when it r ni) the senuments of (heir elders, sum: d shoud be given it.

The Brightwood Railroad Company has filed exceptions to the answer of the Met- ropolitan Railroad Company in the proceed- ings for mutual trackage arrangements in- stituted against the latter company by the former. The exceptions to the answer are that the Metropolitan company has not re- sponded as to the schedules for its cars; as to the compeneation to be received by it for the use of its tracks and motlve power; as to the routes over the tracks of which the Brightwood company proposes to operate its cars, and because the answer is not in conformity with the order of the court. The answer 1s also alleged to be evasive and to contain many frrelevant matters and discussion wholly fgreign to the sub- Ject matter of the original pefition. The exceptions furtaer allege the part of the answer which relates tg suggestions of mechanical difficulties sald to be* con- nected with the carryiig into effect of the positive directions of Comgresk that recip- rocal trackage arrangsments should be en- tered into by the two cempanies, are not pertinent to the questiong.to.be decided in this cause, and should be expunged from the answer.

It is expected that on Monday next the American Security and Trust Company, trustee of the Belt Railway Company, will make a report to the court in regard to the sale of that road, its property and fran- chises. As was stated in The Star the day of the sale, Tuesday last, the road was beught by Mr. O. T. Crosby, and the price paid was $350,000. It is said the estimated value of the real estate alone owned by the rcad is $130,000, so that it is calculated the price paid for the property was $220,000. Under the law the purchaser is obliged to equip the road with the underground elec- trie system, which will involve an expendi- ture of about three-quarters of a million of dollars. It is believed a recommendation will be made for the approval of the sale of the read. The purchasers are required to pay the sum of $ which will be used to pay off the claims against the road having pri- ority over the bonds. It is calculated that the bonds will pay about 50 cents on the dollar. With the exception of a very small bleck the entire issue, it is understood, has been pure by ‘those who are inter~ sted in the purchase of the road, so that they can turn in the bonds in payment.

Cross, who died suddenly of heart Gisease at Mackinac a few years ago, and who was believed to have been worth s eral hundred thousand dollars at the time of his death. Young Cross was thirty-nine years of age, and had worked in the bank, which his father helped organize, since boyhood. Thirteen years ago he became interested in stock raising, and in i802 be- gan the importation of fine Herford cattle, for which his farm 1s known all over th country. Sunny Slope farm was one of the best stocked farms anywhere, and it was Cross’ ambition to make it the leading farm of its kind in the United States. He had recently advertised a sale of fine stovk, the money from which, it is said, he in- tended to turn into the’ bank. Cross was personally very popular and had innumerable friends.

Bpecial Correspondence of The Evening Star. BOYDS, Md., November 17, 1898. A very pretty wedding took place at the | Presbyterian Church at Boyds at 8 o'clock last evening. The contracting parties were Mr. William M. Williams and Miss Sara Griffith, both of Boyds. The bride was handsomely attired in a traveling costume of electric blue cloth, with black hat and plumes, and the groom in conventional black. The maids of honor were Miss Lula Williams of Boyds, sister of the groom, attired in maroon cloth, and Miss Emma Williams of Poolesville, Md., cousin of the bride, in navy blue cloth. The altar was beautifully decorated with a mass of chrysanthemums. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. R. L. McNair of Rockville, Md. The wedding march from “Lohengrin” upon entering the church and Mendeissohn’s March upon leaving were rendered by Prof. Glen Poole of Poolesville, Md. Dr. J. H. Stonestreet of Barnesville, Md., and Mr. William W. Will- jams of Poolesville were ushers for the oc- casion. A reception was given to the in- vited guests at the home of the bride’s parents previous to the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Williams left for Washing- ton, D. C., on a late train. They were the recipients of many handsome presents. The groom is a son of James E. Willams, one of the leading citizens of Montgomery county, and the bride a daughter of Mr. Jas. 1. White, a prominent farmer and ex- commissioner of this county. : After their bridal trip, Mr. and Mrs. Williams will make their home at Boyds, where a handsome new residence has just been erected for them by the groom’s father. | NOVEMBER 17, 1898—14..PAGES..~ IN NEED OF LEADERS Opposition to Croker Not Yet in Working Shape. ONLY A STILL HUNT NOW Chauncey Depew the Favorite for United States Senator. SVELT PARTY A It now as if new democfatie organi: many and depo: fail for the want of leaders. Although William R. Grace, Smith M. Weed Thomas Gilroy have no overwhelm gard for the Tammany boss, it is stated, on what appear: ple authority, that neither of them will lead the so-called the much- ion to fight Richard Cro! r would and independent democratic movement. It may be said that this plan has practically been shelved, but in its place has come the be- ginning of an effort to ov hrow Croker in the wigwam. It has been common talk for a long time that there are many within the organization who for various reasons are dissatisfied with Croker’s Jead- ership. So long as his leadership was suc cessful they could, of course, make no ef fective stand against him; but now that his policy—and a policy that was peculiarly his—has led to disaster, they reason that there is a chance to rally the opposition and reorganize Tammany itself. Any such plan, if carried to a successful co ion, nat- urally includes the deposing of Croker. With the present leader once out of the way, it is held that a large influential democratic element that now holds aloof from Tammany could be drawn within the organization. Still Hunt for Croker's Scalp. It is not known who is leading this move- ment against Croker, but it is said to be a determined “still hunt” after the boss’ scalp. Emissaries of the malcontents are said to be going carefully through every district where a Tammany leader is in the least unpopular, and finding the men who are opposed to him. These men they en- deavor to induce to promise that they will attend the next primaries and that they will vote against the Tammany leader. Side ‘able speculation ndulged in over the resignation of certain prominent members from the Democratic Club. It is claimed that when Croker in the club he is King. Since Croker's visit west the big- Sest sort of a row is alleged to have broken cut, and as a con: Roswell P. Fiower, president of th of govern- ors: John F. Vincent, Eugene F. Brush, also governors, have re- signed, and there are other pending. Just at this juncture is being made to atts nificance to these r be some, but it is not surface. Meanwhile, Richard Croker, beaten in his attempt to become a state leader, is reach- ing out into national affairs and paring to make himself felt in Ccngre the next session, and naturally at the democratic national convention. It is stated on what appears to be good authority that the first move in the game will be to name a leader for the dem on the floor of the House of Repr. tives.
