OF THE IOWA NEWS SUMMARY. ‘The agitation at Havana for abso- lute Cuban independence is sive aud appears to be making o verti Numerous manifestoes have heen issued, pointing out to Spanish residents how their business will suf- fer from Amerivaa competition under annexation, and even Gomez has added his voice to the clamor, urg- ing the Spanish to unite the Cubans and prevent the Umited States from aa the treasure both Spaniards and Cubans have fought for.” Sach utterances, at least, are attributed to Gomez at Havana. Spanish and Cubans bave united in a nationalist party, and the proposed occupation by United States troops is denounced as a menace to Cuban independence. The instructions for the Spanish military commissioners in Cuba have not been received, as was reported, and th momissioners have mot yet been abléto begin their work. Maj. Gen. Miles has a new ides for mastering out the volunteers, His idea is, when it is necessary to further reduce the army, to cut the regiments to a two-battalion forma- tion and the companies to seventy- live men each. This will enable those who wish to quit the service to do so and stil Imaintain organizations of disciplined men sufficient for gar- rison and other duty. Among the naval changes ordered are the placing of Commodore Kautz COLORED. ' DEPARTMENT. . Willetta O'Neal, of St. 1. a? who has been in the city s: veral weeks visiting her mother, Mrs Liz- zie Alexander, on Washington street, | received a telegram yesterday from! ber husband, who was in Fort Worth, | ‘Texas, summoning her home imme-) diately. She left yesterday after-| noon fer St, Louis in answer to the telegram. Railroads are by no means the ‘soulless corporations’ they are sometimes said to be; and such ex- pressions find lodgement only in the| brains of the vain and foolish, It 1s} a fact that they are corporations, or- ganized to do business—that is the sole object of its existence—and be- ause they refuse to be as sentimental as some individuals, they are said to be soulless. It isa mistake. If one will but look beyond the mere surface of as great corporation like the Illinois Central railroad company, he cannot fail to see the silent forces at work for the betterment and progress of the laboring man. The improvements being made, new de- pots being built, tracks being ex- tended and repaired and the thous~ and one means by which labor gains employment, all tend to the upbuild- ing of a community, and there is not @ stution on its line that is not proud of that fact. A case among many, in point, is a recent deal by which the company will come into posses- in charge of the Pacific squadron, relieving Rear Admiral Miller; the relief of Capt. R. D, Evans as com- mander of the battleship lowa, Capt. Terry, of the Franklio, succeeding him, and the abandonment of the Newport maval station. ‘The Turkish authorities at Candia have demolished thirty-mine houses from which the British troops were fired upon during the riots, and have arrested 115 ringleaders. Forty- three of these ringleaders have been delivered to the British admiral at Candia. Maj. Gen. Otis reports conditions more satisfactory at Manila, but they are far from satisfactory for Aguinaldo. Aguinaldo has with- drawn from Manila’s suburbs the forces over which he has control, and his congress, which opened Thursday at Malolos, will, it is said declare for autonomy under American protection. But the forces under Pio Pilar have refused to move frem the suburbs, and have conceatrated at Santana, Some of the rebels who pretended to withdraw with Aguinaldo in reality joined Pilar, Besides, it is reported that 15,000 men under the former rebel chief, {sabelo Artacho, are marching-against Aguinaldo. With Pilar threatening the Americans and Artacho threatening Aguinaldo, things look far from entirely satis~ factory in the Philippines. Don’t you know Plantation Chill Is an Uncle to Hon, Henry Bur- nett, of This City. Capt, Silas Terry Was Appointed Frem This District in 1857. In yesterday's Courier-Journal there appeared a Wasbington dis- patch relative to a number of naval changes contemplated by Secretary of the Navy Long. One of them is gleaned from the following extract: “Capt. Robley D, Evans, com- manding the battleship Lowa, will not accompany that vessel to the Pacific. He was at the department today and requested his detachment. Capt. Silas Terry, commanding the receiv- ing ship Franklin, was asked if he would accept the Iowa, and upon re- ceiving that officer's assent Secretary Long gave instructions that the necessary orders be issued. Capt. Evans will be assigned to duty as a member of the board of inspection and survey, Capt. Silas W. ‘Terry, who is to be the new commander of the Iowa, is wot only s Kentuckian, but is a near relative of one of Paducah’s most prominent ‘citizens, He is a brother to Mrs. Burnett, mother ef Hon.
