o = THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1897. perpetual password. From all the little towns near by people came, some with teams, some walking lazily along the road the moon made white, and some on the last train from San Fraacisco. There were 10 reserved seats at this de- lighttul affair—no gallery nor dress-circle. People stiolled up the lovely valley, looked for a moment at the artistically simple stage-setting, made their way up the soft swell of land and sank content- edly down upon the dead brown grass that cushioned it. There w no rules as to attire or de- meanor. One wore what he pleased and sat or reclined as was most comfortable. Above, the moon sailed gloriously in a clear, pale sky; behind was the living, leafy scfbening of the oaks, and in front, on the tur.-carpeted stage, the classically draped figures of young men and women appeared against the dark green back- ground. The scene was charmingly picturesque and the play was in keeping with the beauty of the scene. Just the simple story of iwo lovers whom Bacchus makes happy by blessing the vineyard, so that Caro a, the vintner’s daughter, might wed Corydon, the goatnerd. But the little idyl is so gracefully told, its language is atonce so simple yet elevated, its con- struction is so artful—or else the moon- light plays strange tricks with the andi- tor's judgment and the beautiful Vale of Pansies Is a magic place where ail things are perfect. Corydon tells his love to Carola and Carola tells her love to Corydon, and then, when the lovers are gone, the nymph who guards the valley telis the story to her sister nymphs, who dwell in the mountains. And then the tale is told again by the goat herds, Corydon’s mates, and by both lovers to the guardian nymvoh and, later, by Corydon to great Bacchus, and still again by the sweet guardian nympk, till the moonlit valley is musical with a roundelay of love and all the world knows of the cooing of these turtle doves. Instead of entrances and exits, stiff cen- ter, right and left, figures emerge from the forest or come from some irregular little path or wander off diagonally to disappear behind a clump of bushes or slowly to pass out of sight up along a winding pathway that seems to reach to the stars, There is no curtain, no bell, no change of scene, notthe smallest artificiality to introduce an incongruous shade into the natural color scheme. When a graceful girl in flowing white draperies, her brown bair falling over her shoulders and far below her slender waist, flitted down toward the little natural stage, « musical call upon her lips, all the chatter- ing and laughing in the sylvan theater was bushed. The play had begun. as the Guardian Nvmph of the val- who sang the prologue, unaccom- panied save for the crickets’ steady, soft chirp. Hers was a sweet, pure contralto whose exquisite notes fell most gratefully apon the ear. The oak-covered hills be- hind made a fine sounding-board and the fanciful, delicate, florid melody with its tripping grace notes and airy triplets, was delightiully effective, coming from tbat graceful, girlish figure iu the fore- ground. She finished with the high call with woich she had begun and immediately from hills to the right and left, above and veyond. the call was repeated, echoed and re-echoed in fluteiike notes tiil the valley rang with the melody. Then a red lLight blazed out far upon the bill to the leit. It grew brighter and redder till 1he 1hick foliage logked like Jeaves of rubies. And starting out from tue ruddy background a sister nymph ap- peared ana itook up the pretty strain. Her voice died away with the dimming of the ligut, and suddenly, aloft and off to the right, aclear soprano began to sing of the beppy valley. As her voice rang out on the lust high note a biaz: of glittering biue light showed her white figure against the dark shrubbery, while beyond another nymph took up the melody. Alithe beings of the fairy world had disappeared wuen Corydon came singing upon the stage. Corvdon is a handsome, mauiy fellow, with thick, fair hair and a boid, strong profile. He wears the jerkin and tights and tue goawskin draped over his shoulder with grace. Incidentally Le is the author of the charming little drama and—most important—he makes love de- lightfuliy. His Carola in her softly draped pink gown with her white arms and neck gleamiug in the moonhight, making her Jook siatuesquely fair, listened demurely to his vows. She sat upon a truly grassy bank, with hands loosely clasped over her knees, while ne strode up and down before her telling his pretty story of Apollo’s wooing of Daphne, who fled ever and ever, till at last-sne was turned into a tree, whose leaves even now Apollo dews with his tears, wh:le he caresses them. Then does Master Corydon inform his Carola that at imes he dreams that he, Corydon, is that same ’witched Apollo. Yet seeks he a lovelier maid than Daphne €’er had been. *‘An i coes she fly thee, Corydon?" asks Carola archiy. *'In dreams, she does,’”’ responds bold Corydon, *‘but when Luna lights our vale, Iscek and find my love."” The merriment this question and its reply cause to the listeniug nymphs is very preliily brought out in the laughing, mocking melody they sing woen tue stage is ciear of mortals. Their sweet, snrill voices mock from hill to hill tll the goaiberds appear and drive them from the scene. These comrades of Corydon supply the grotesque element of the play. They sing 1o the flute’s accompaniment: they jest at love and Corydon, and at one anotuer: tuey make halting verses'and burst into chuckling laughter — excellent stage laughter — anticipating tne word that shali complete the rhyme. And then, like true comrades, they promise giits to Hymen, and with clumsy sincerity wish Carola all happiness. 7 The best piece of acting in the play is Corydon’s prayer 1o Bacchus. The young goatherd’s comely figure and resolute 1ace, lit up by the flames he has kindied on Bacchus’ altar, are strongly piciur- esque, as with uplified band and solemn voice he pleads with the wine god for plenty and Carola. A fine spectacular effeot is proauced when the gracious god appears at the summit of the taliest hili in a blaze of shining light. His crowned head anu Vvine-wreathed scepter come out from be- hind the clouds of light looking like an amiable Jove’s aud he sings his promise to tiie lovers in a splendid bass that Rob- ert Bien of San Francisco loaned Bacchus for this great occasion only, May the God of the Grapes be duly gratefull O! course, the vintage, *“which hath been poor these three years past,” is over- abundant now. Carola’s father, the vint- ner, had declared that unless a single cluster of grapes shall be found whose juice shull ful the great Bacchus cup, Corydon shall not have nis Carola anu Carola must stilt vearn for her Corydon. The happy sudience, lying upon the brown hiliside, bursts into the heartiest applause when from overflowing, grape. heaved wain a bunch of grapes was drawn—so mighty, so close, so royal a cluster that the arm of the vintager who held it alofc stiffened with its weight, *Hurrah for the Khine farm!” whis. pered an anachronistic spectator. Of course, the juice of the great cluster overfilled the Bacchus bowl, and grateful Carola poured its conients upon the altar, whence pale blue clouds arose to mingle with the rainbow of vari-colored lights that lit- up the hills around and the miniature valley telow. And ereat Baccuus and the nymphs, their figures outlired against the flames, looked benignantly down upon the small company of morials, which, singing as they marcbed, wanderea off among the trees—a mosi Datural, happy, pretty finale, And then the audience called for the hero-author, and Mr, Weed responded in a short, graceful little speech, and the play was played, the show was over. The moon was at the zeni when the people began to ieave Arcadi; Bat the real dweller in Arcadia lingered in the lovely pastoral vale till that biggest of a'c lights began to paile and aim in the heavens and the air grew damp and sweet with the breath of morning.

Mink is second vice-president and comp- troller of the company and is thoroughly familiar with the finances of the system. He is a close friend of General Manager Dickinson, General Solicitor Kelly and the general manager’s right bower, E. E. Buckingham. It is the opinion of some that Mmk will be president, live in Bos- ton and look after the finances of the road, while General Manager Dickinson will operate the road, as he has practically done for some time past. Edwin W. Winter was formerly general manager of the Omaha road, but left the Vanderbilt interest to take a higher sala- ried but less independent position of pres- ident of the Northern Pacific. He re- sivned that position and gave up its $40,000 salary a short time ago ostensibly to travel in Europe. He is a man of large means and could easily afford to retire.

GREAT GEYSER N THE STREET Floods Caused by the Bursting of a Large Water Main. The upset price Ten Million Gallons Belch Forth, Causing Consid- erable Damage. Cellars and Basements Flooded In the Heart of New York's Fashlonable District. &pecial Dispatch to THE CALL. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 10.—A large Croton water main burst early this morn- ing at the corner of Madison avenue and Forty-eighth sireet, the heart of the fash- ionable district, anda wrought such havoc with property that not even a partial cal- culation can be made of the financial damage at preseni. For blocks around scarcely a building escaped injury by rea- son of the volume of water poured into the street, cellars and basements, The loss will reach well into the thousands. The damage by water extends as far west as Sixth avenue and as far east as First avenue. The seweYs were choked by the great rush of water, and then the flood rose in the streets. The big water main was probably cracked by a blast which was fired in a sewer excavation late Satur- day afternoon. Then in the nighttime, when the strain on the pipe was greatest, it gave way and tue flood followed. ‘Ihe breaking of a four-foot pipe was an- nounced by a rumbling noise, which awakened the people in the immediate vicinity. Lookin: out of their windows they saw a great geyser in the middle of the avenue shooting a vast volume of water into the air, a column so high taat it reached almost to the top of the electric light pole on the corner. Those who haa no view of the fountain heard a mighty rush of water. For five hours this column shot into the air before it was shut off at its source, and in that time ten miilion gallons of water had run down the avenue and side streets. All the streets east of Maaison avenue slope gradually, and down them the water surged in a torrent, flooaing the celiars and basements. Almost without ex- ception, the houses in the vicinity of the break were so flooded that they have veen damaged from $500 to $2000. The residences of G. Hooker Hammersley, William Austice, J. Talbot and the club- house of the Delta Pui were among those most damaged. SAVED BY BULLET-PRUUF CLOTHES. Although Shot at Very Close Range, Vincenzo Molli Was Mot Injured. BOSTON, Mass,, Oct. 10.—Bullet-proof clothes saved a man’s life in a street row bere to-day. Frank Sherro of Green street was arrested for an alleged assault with a loaded revolver on Vincenzo Molli of 222 North street. It is said Sherro drew a large-caliber revolver and, pressing it close to Molli’s right breast, fired. The flash burned a hole in Molli's coat near the right shoulder, but, strange to say, Molli did not drop. He clapped his hand to the s‘)ol where the builet had hit him, but no blood showed. He shrugged his shoulders, and as he did so felt something drop through his trousers leg and. stooping, gicted up a big bullet. This he fook 16 tation 1, where he was examined by a physician, and only a little discolored bruise was found. P A, Death of an Are Editor. VTO);)AWANDA, N.

During the parade of the Nation- alists to-day, the sixth anniver- sary of the death of Charles Stewart Parnell, no union jacks were carried, but nearly every county delegation raised the stars and stripes nextto the green flag. BEAE SRR ES ARSEE BEATZ DUBLIN, Ireraxp, Oct. 10.—To-day is the sixth anniversary of the death of Charles Stewart Parnell. Five thousand Nationalists paraded the sireets to the bleak Glasnevin Cemetery, where they heaped high the grave of their famous and talented leaier with flowers brought from all the counties of Ireland. The demonsiration was unique, Pre- vious demonstrations have bad strictly a funereal character, buz in accordance with the decision of the leaders that of to-day was divested of all the trappings and the suits of woe and converted into a tri- umphal procession, lively national airs replacing dirges. The country people were brought in by crowded excursion trains. In their hats they wcre shamrocks instead of crape. It was-emphatically the people’s day, for the aristocracy held coldly aloof. No flags were raised on the public buildings along the line of march, and only afew bouses of the poor displaved decorations, The poverty of Ireland was exhibited, not only by the children who walked in their bare feet, but in the attempts ata uniform for the processionists, who sel- dom achieved more than a faded green sash or a spray of ivy. The day was wet, windy and cheer- less and the demonstration was imposing in no respect except in its spirit. The procession started from St. Siephen’s Green at 1 o’clock, led by a mounted guard of honor of Irish National Foresters, im- mediately followea by the York-street brass band, which preceded the memorial car. The car was the most conspicuous feature. Ii was drawn by four coal-black horses, and upon it were pi'ed wreaths and crosses, a veritable mass of white and green stacked as high asaload of hay. A bronze bust of Parnell surmounted tue car and above the head streamed a green flag, emblazoned with a setting sun in old, S After the car came the members of the irish Parliamentary party, headed by John Redmond, member of Parliament for Waterford, the moving spirit of the cele- bration. They were followed by the hon- orary officers of the demonstration com- mittee, the staffs of the Irish Daily Inde- pendent, the Evening Herald and Weekly Independent, delegates from the Irish National League of Great Britain and then by the carriages containing John Parnell, M. P., Mrs. Dickinson, sister of the dead patriot, other members of the Parnell fan:ily and James Stephens, The venerable Mrs. Delia Parnell was unabie to be present. The Lord Mayor and corporation of Dublin, the Mayors, Speriffs and munici- pal dignitaries of Cork and Limerick rode in their official regalia, the maces being wound with ivy. After them came various deputations carrying gaudy banners, the Dublin cor- poration Iaborers, the Mineral-water Operatives’ Sociely, the Ancient Order of Foresters, the Regular Co-operative Coopers’ Society, the Friendly Brother- hood of Ireland, the York-street Work- men’s Club, the postoffice officials, the Blue Bell Workmen's Citb, the O’ Donnell Gaelic Football Club and other soctetres, representatives of the brewing trades, representatives of seven building trades, the coachmakers and ihe poulterers. There were more than thirty bands in the procession, and every county and large town, as well as scores of smaller towns, had official representatives, No union jacks were carried, but nearly every county delegation rafsed the stars and stripes next to the green flag. One of the most suzgestive feaiures of the dem- onstration was the predominance of chil- dren and aged people, showing that the tide of emigration is carrying Ireland’s able-bcd.ed sons and daughters to more prosperous lands. Tnough the crowds were so great that the police bad eonsideravle difficulty 1n clearing the way for the procession, there was no disturbance. On the arrivpl of the procession’at the cemetery the fommittee and members of tue Parncll family denosited wreaths and floral tokens at the grave. There was no speech-making and noth- ing in the way of formal céremony. A shower finaily sent the spectators scurry- ing to shelter, There were no partisan coilisions, ana the tone of the anti Parnell press, in com- menting upon the anniver:ary and the celebration, is exceptionally moderate, The Irish World says: “It is deplorable that a creat man’s memory shculd be dragged into the arena of party politics. Parnell has been dead long enough for his name to be placed beside those of the greatest patriots, high above section and sect, amid the reverence and love of a grateful peoole, united in seatiment here, if unfortunately nowhere else.” éfi"‘"’ BYRRRRRR R RPN PR RAE AASAE AEEA AL RN S A hd To Cure a Cold in One Day Teke Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

There Can No Longer Be Any Doubt Yellow Jack Has a Foothold in Texas. GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. 10.—Before a meeting o: the Galvesion Board of Heaith to-day Dr. Guiteras made the foilowing statement: * I have reyorted to Surgeon-General Wyman and communicated to Health Of- ficer Fisher, County Physician Warfield and acting Mayor Skinner that there are five cases of yellow fever here and three cases that have recovered from the disease. There is no doubt in my mind as 1o the correciness of my diagnosis. 1 have b en very careful and have made no statement as to any case without close personal examination. The cases are scattered and seem to bzve no connection. They appear 10 have developed in a quite confusing way and are mixed with dengue fever. There is one at Sealy Hospital. I have reported two at St. Mary’s Infirmary, bat find that in one at the infirmary I was mistaken. I misunderstood the statement of the attending physician as to the pres- ence of albumen in the urine. Finding there is no albumen I alter my diagnosis as to that case. The other case in the in- fimary is distinctiy yellow fever.” According to this siatement there are four cases of yellow fever, as the case in which Dr. Guiteras was mistaken was one of the five mentioned in the foregoing statement. A typve of dengne fever has existed at Galveston for the past sixty days and there have been 5000 cases of dengue and not a single death, A meeting of citizens of Galveston has been called for Monday morning for the purpose of asking Dr. Wyman to keep Dr. Guiteras here until he has bad time to report fully on all suspicious cases. Galveston was somewhat excited Satur- day night, but to-day the city was quiet. The Santa Fe is the only road open. All other roads were cut off lsst night before any one counid get out of town. The Santa Fe took out seventy-five perrons last night and 118 departed on to-day's train. Forty people have left by boat jor Bay shore points. This constitutes the total hegira from here. The citizens claim if these four cases are yellow fever then thousandsof citi- zens have had it, as they have had similar sickness, IS COVERS A LARGE AREA. Fight Against the Fever In New Orleans Must Bs Kept Up Until Frost Appears. The disiribution of yellow fever cases in New Orleans is more widespread this time than at any previous visitation. The foci of inspection extend from Carroliton, in the upper part of the city, to Jackson Barracks beiow, a distaace along the river of over twelve milss, and back from the river to a depth ol from three to four miles. Yet with it all the disease has been held under quite good control, and may hardly said to be epidemic, and with the intetligent, untiring and masterful tight being made against it by the health authorities it may not become so at all. No one can tell, however, what the mor- row may bring forth. The only certain relief from danger is the frost, which, though due in most of tbe other infected localities within the next three or four weeks, may not bless New Crleans with its presence for sixty days or more. The lateness in the time of the fever's first appearance, September 6, of course limits its career to one-ball of tue season in which the recora of previous ycars shows to have been most ‘destruc- tive, but that is no guarantee that the worst 18 not yet tocome. In the great epidemic of 1838, which, thougn there were two deaths in June, may be said to have begun in July, when ttere were 132 deaths, August hud 1140, Septemuer 2:04, Oclober 1137 and November 224, with five lapping over inio Decem ber. In the visitation of 1867, which tegan in July and became epidemic in August, when there wera 255 deaths, October had 1172, second to September with 1637; No- vember 103 and December 26, and in 1878 July bad 50 deaths, August 974, Septem- ber 1895 and October was second with LCeAL&whila Noveuwmber nad 90 and Decem- The records of the city from 1811 to the present vear show October to have been a very deadly month, In that time June fur | Pelican s nished 49 deaths, July 974, August 10,641, Septem her 11,158, October 5111, November 1150 and Decem ber 101, In most of these years the fever became epidemic in July or early in August and consumed tost of the available material before October came. It is well recog- nized that the percentage of deaths or even attacks is very small among the na- tives of the city or persons from the warm climates, who are more or less acclimated. The great mortality is among the new comers and persons from the higher lati- tudes, and asthe number of tuese in the city is limited the course of the aisease is checked for lack of susceptible victims. In 1841 out of 1300 dea hs there were but live natives, and in 1843 out of 632 buttwo were natives. And so 1n all the years the proportion of natives has been insignifi cant. of life go first and the men before the women in the proportion of cen to one. In the present case the municipal, State and natounal boaras of Lealth are working in most hearty accord, and though they bave to contend with a very dangerous and reprehensible practice on the partof many of the reople an . of the physicians ol the city also, of concealing the exist- ence of new fever cases until the infec.ion has time to spread afresh, they are very prompt and untiring in their efforts to isolate and stamp out the germs and pan- ish the offenders. Well it is for New Urleans that her sani- tary condition has been so much improved of late years. Had the same couditions of uncleantiness and unhealthiness pre- vailed when the first case appeared last month as existed in 1878 the number of cases and the percentage of deaths would have been far greater, as the range of the disease is much greater. Sull, it is bad enough vet. The city is on very low grouna and has to be protected by levees from both the lake and the river, From January to June the water in the latter is above the level of the streets. Water is found everywhere at a depth of a couple of feet. Cisterns furnish the drinking water and there is no urderground drain- age, the canals and bayous receivir g most of the sewage anu flowing right through populous districts. Betterment of this state of affairs is, from the nature of the ground and sur- roundings, 'largely impossible, but as to {ilth generally, one of the most important and able aids to disease, the condition has been greaily improved and without stint of expense. DIPLGMATIC CONTROVERSY. Friction Between This Country and Nicaragua May Fesult From the Granting of a Concession. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 10.—A Wash- ington special to the Herald says: An- other diplomatic controversy between the United Statesand Nicaragua is impending as a result of the action of Nicaragua in granting a concession to an Engiish cor- poration, which, it is believed, couflicts | with that given to the Maritime Canal Company of New York. Fearing injury to the rights of the American corporation, the State Devart- ment recently cabled to Minister Baker, at Managua, directing him to examine the concession and 1n case it conflicted with that of the canal company 1o enter a strong protest. The result of Mr. Bzker's examination isnot known to the department, wiaich is awaiting with some eagerness the receipt of a copy of the concession. A copy has reached Washington, however, and I have it in my possession. The most important feature of the con- tract between the English corporation known as the Atlas Steamsnip Company ana the Nicaraguan Government, next 10 that which confers exclusive navigation rights upon the company, is that which disclaims any intention to conflict with the canal commission. “This concession,” the contract reads, *‘will not be an obstacle in the way of con- tracts which the Government has relative to the opening of the interoceanic canal along the same line, nor will it affect the contract for the same which has been made.” in consideration of the great expenses to which the company wiil be subject the Government ‘‘gives it the exclusive right of steam navigation in Silico Lagoon for thirty years from the final approval of this contract and the exclusive right for the same time of consiructing tramwavs and railroads along the line and at the best ?"“s’ o avoid obstacles in the river San uan. Apparently this section conflicts with the concessions awarded to the Maritime Canal Company, which provide that “the company ehall have the right to construct and operate a railway along the whole ex- tent of the canal, or those paris of the same that may be considered convenient for the better service and operation of the said works.” The authorities believe the Atlas Com- pany’s concession conflicts just as much with that belonging to the Maritime Canal Company as did Mr. Pell and they therefore intend to urge that the new con- cession be abrogated g South Polar Explovration. LONDON, Exg., Oct. 1L.—A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Christiania, says that the commercial and scientitic expedi- tion to be undertaken for south polar ex- ploration under the conduct of Dr. Borch- grevinck, the Antarctic explorer, will start from England next Jnly, g St A Warship to the Resoue.

More Troops Must Also Be Sent to the Philippine Islands. SPAIN HASN'T PUT DOWN REVOLUTION THERE. Decree Issued Aliowing the Return of Many Who Were Deported From Cuba. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 10.—A World cable from Madrid says: With the ex- ception of Conservatives and Republi- cans, who persist in courting a Weyler majority, the press ana public opinion approve the new Government for gazetting to-day decrees recaliing Weyler and ap- pointing Marshal Blanco as Governor of Cuba. So determined was the Cabinet's act in vigorously directing the council of Ministers to spprove the foregoing de- crees that Count Xiquena, Minister of Public Works, carried them to the palace and the Queen got up from dinner to sign them. The Minister of War telegraphed the Transatlantic Company to postpone the departure of the mail steagner to allow Blanco to embark Tuesday with a numer- ous staff. Six generals, able officers who served under Marshal Campos in theearly vart of the present war and 20,000 men as re-enforcements will follow in November. The Minister of War also telegraphed Weyler to embark ‘immediately after handing the commaind to the Marquis Abumada or General Linares. All the high civil officials and principal lieuten- ants of Weyler will be replaced promptly. The Government telegraphed to cease in- stantly severities and all r gorous meth- ods of warfare practiced hitherto. Blanco is not expected to be in a position to form a correct estimate of the situation or sug- gest the best course to follow for leading up to pacification. He will begin the re- form policy before the middle of Novem- ber, and military operations will continue, directly fine weather permits, against the insurgents if they are not disposed to sub- mit on hearing of the contemplated re- form and reversal of the policy of the last two years. The Government has re- | ceived unfavorable intelligence of a re- vival of the insurrection in the Philippine Islands, which is serious in four provinces. Several filibustering expeditions from China and Japan landed arms and war steres at various parts of the coast. Con- siderable re-enforcements will have to be sent to Manila betore the fine season, wien the rebels are likely to resume the offensive. Because the present Governor, Marshal Rivera, sent home half the Euro- pean force, believing the rebellion sub- dued, Marshal Campos declined to go to the Phiuppines. His presence in Spoain is more necessary if eventualities in the colonial war make military dictature necessary. HAVANA, Cuss, Oct. 10. — General ‘Weyler has issued a decree allowing the return to the island of Senor Gonzales Lanuza, a Judage of the Supreme Court of Havana and a protessor in the university; Dr. Emilano Nunez, a wel~known lawyer: Alfredo Zayas, Adolfo Diaz, Ignacio La- mas, Manuel Castro Polomino, Juan En- Adoifo de 1a Cueva, Miguel Ferro and others who had been deported. LONDON, Exe., Oct. 1L—The Times, | commenting editonally this morning on the Cuban question, says: 1f Senor Sa- gasta fails to adopt a bold reform policy in Cuba likely to disarm American jingoism, 1t might turn out to Lave been wiser (o have left General Weyler 10 finish the war in his own fashion. The Standard, after asking why General Weyler is recalled, if it is intended to con- tinle the campaign, says: It seems only too plain that Senor Sagasta’s course hardly ceserves the name of policy. Itis almost a device for parrving America’s importunate questions. We suspect that General Woodford presented something very like an ultimatum, und that, but for American pressure, nmmng‘ wouid have been heard of autonomy. We doubt that a Cuban settiement is made nearer. There will be more fighung and more negotia- tion. Ou the other uana the Washington Cabinet has need to be circumspect.
