THE LAST OF/
AUTONOMY
Buffer Cabinet That Amount
ed to Nothing,
A Curious Combination of Politi
cians Who Couldn’t Hold
Together.
By Associated Press.
Lew A ork. Dee. ,3.—With the resignation
of the autonomist cabinet folowing Capt.
Gen. Blanco's retirement, ends a short,
yet interesting caa r.er of histcry, says a
Havana correspondent of the Tribune.
1 he cabinet represented Spain’s tardy and
dtsi airing effort to save her van Piing
sbvcifignity in the App lies. Some o e ;•?.
mcml ers wi* remcin in the ; sland and
accept the new conditions. Others, it is
rej oi ted, wil end theii liv- s in
rhouL"» toy arc Cui.'tn born. They w.oid
not be in full sympathy with the future
government, whether it be an independent
one or whether annexation to the Uni'id
Stats follows:
This autonomist cabinet was appointed
Ln December last and took cl’i 'O January
1, 1898. Its membership was as folows:
President, without portfolio, Jose Maria
Galvez.
Secretary of the Treasury, Rafeal Mon
tero.
Secretary of Justice and Government.
Antonio Govin.
Secretary of Public Institution, Fran
cisco Zayas.
Secretary of Public Works, E.lua'.lo
Dalz.
Secretary of Agriculture and Commerce,
Laureano Rodriguez.
The events of eleven months need not
be told in detail to ;show that the last
three departments were not burdened with
functions. They were practically non
non-existent.
This cabinet was made up of what were
k'.’.o ;n as historic and radical autonomists
with a reformist or moderate supoi’ter of
Spanish -sovereignty sandwiched in bc-
The hope was that the radi
cal members would be able to exercise a
persuasive influence on the insurgents. It [
proved a fa lac laus one. Govin was the
leading radical in the cabinet. He had
been an aggressive supporter of autonomy
from the beginning of that movement and
the Spanish conservatives had frequently
charged that he was a separatist. When
thtinsurrection broke cut he did not join
it, but his principles and his sympathies
were so wel known that he came under
the ban of Weyler’s dislike. Unable to
identify ihimself cn the one hand with the
insurrection and on the other unwilling
to indorse the policy of the Spanish gov
ernment in suppressing it, he went into
vcluntaiy exile in the United States. He
settled with bis family in Atlanta. Ga.,
ar I remained there until the regime of
autonomy was established under Blanoo.
Then he accepted the place in the auton
. mils cabinet and exerted himself herci
caly to secure its acceptance by the Cu
ban people. Govin Is a man of executive
force and while his positive character
made enemies for him it also gave him (
strength. He has Teen the most aggros- '
sive member of the cabinet.
Rafeal Montoro was the leader of the
historic autonomists. His friends claimed •
for him the honor of founding the party. ’
He was better known in Spain than any 1
others of the Cuban publicists. His writ
ings had made for him a European repu
tation and be was not unknown in the
United States. In Cuba he was appreci
ated as a man of letters, a publicist and
an orator. But he was not a bold leader.
He feartd the consequences cf the insur
rection and said bitter things about it.
He accepted the reforms of Canovas as a
step toward colonial home rule. His tal
ents were great, but he had lost the con
fidence us bis own people. Though the
1 ables. and most conspicuous member of
the cabinet his influence has not been
marked. He is a beliver in the Latin
race, and it is said of him that he prefers
spending the remainder of his life in
Srain :o watching its contact and possible
conflict with Anglo-Saxon civilization in
Cuba.
Galvez was also one of the historic au
tononmists. He was eminent as <1 lawyer
and as an orator. He has been credited
with declaring that he would rather see
Cuba sink under hie ssa rather than that
should be Americanized. But his friends
interpreted this as campaign talk. He was
never a violent supporter of Spanish sov
ereignty and would have been wiling to
watch its gradual disappearance into Cu
ban independence. He will probably re
main in the island.

CHIPPEWA
Indians Determined to Defv
the United States.
Disarm a Deputy and Will Not Be
Taken Alive.
By Associated Press.
St. Paul. Minn., Dec. 3 —Ano:her upris
ing of the Chippewa Indians is threatened.
The game warden at Sauk Rapids has had
a fight fith fourteen of the red skins whom
he attempted do arrest in which he was
badly whipped and state game warden
Fullerton has ordered that the Indians be
taken into custody, be the result what it
may. The Indians declrae they will resist
al! attempts to capture’them and organize
a rebellion.
The Sauk Rapids deputy met the In
dians in the woods this afternoon and as
each one was carrying the carcass of a
dee.. He attempt to arrest them on a
charge of having violated the game laws.
In the figth that followed the deputy was
severely punished and his rifle taken from
him. The Indians warned him against fol- .
lowing them, declaring they would never
be taken alive and threatened to begin
shooting the moment a posse appeared in
sight.
Game Warden Fullerton has notified the
authorities that he will pursue the Indians
with a posse and serious trouble is feared.
SCENES IN PONCE.
But Little Change in the Method of Do
ing Business.
Time has made 'but few changes in the i
methods cf doing business in Ponce. Out i
in the harbor, .which is an open roadstead, i
vessels come to anchor to load with rum, ,
sugar, molasses, or tobacco, and are likely
to anchor from one month to six. The
houses stretch along the- flat beach back
■into the country, mostly wooden affairs.
One-story warehouses, substantially built,
and painted in tints of pink, yellow, or
pale blue, front the principal streets, filled
with bales and bags cf rice, sugar, etc.,
for a considerable business is done in this
port of entry, for the handsome city of
Ponce.
Back in the country, at the foot of
gently sloping hills is the city of Ponce
itself. It is a two-mile drive from the
Playa, through fertile fields, past sugar
factories and other manufacturing build
ings, past handsome houses, set back from
the road mid flowers and palms,, or tum
ble-down shanties and wooden hovels.
With the coming of Uncle Sam’s sol
diers, however, a magic hands seems to
have touched this sleepy El Dorado. It
has awaken, and the busy life of the
north has invaded its streets. In the mar
kets, instead of the old-time, easy-going
method cf doing business, one sees the
brisk, lively banter of trade characteris
tic of the Americans rapidly establishing
a foothold. The strets are lined with
men and women who seem to beiifspired
by a new energy, strengthenedby more
jus'd and equitable laws, and it can be
safely predicted that, aided by the bound
les wealth which nature has so lavishly
besicwed upon these kindly people, this
fertile island will, prove one of the most
valuable pcses’ions of rhe United States.
Our illustration, taken from 'Harper’s
Weekly, shows a characteristic market
scene in Pence, drawn by F. Luis Mora,
after a. photograph. Here and there Un
cle Sam’s soldiers mingle with the crowd,
and in' the bright sunlight trade goes
briskly on from day to day.
NO WINTER |
EVOLUTIONS:
North Atlantic Squadron Un-
Dergoing Reorganiza
tion.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 3. —A special to the i
Herald from Washingtons says: There I
will be no winter evolutions of the North ;
Atlantic squadron. As soon as it is pos
sible to do so all the men-of-war will be
assembled at Hampton Roads, where they
will be divided into squadrons for duty
cn such stations as may be established.
It is the general understanding in naval
circles that a Gulf Squadron will be form- i
ed. The European squadron will be re- '
established and three ships will be as
signed to duty in South Atlantic waters.
Some time will elapse, however, before
the squadrons are formed, and the author
ities are considering what duty shall be
given to Rear Admiral Schley in the
meantim'e.
Two Pointed Oii'»stioi;s Answered.
Wh?r is the use of making a better ar
ticale than your competitor if you can
not get a betsr price for it?
AnJ.—As there is no difference in rh-e
price the public will buy only the better.
: so that v. bile our profits may be smaller
I on a single sale they will be much larger
I in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to bo
i tried and the public will very ' quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
{ better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy. The people have
been using it for years and have found
1 that it can always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with some fash
ionable novelty put forth with exagger
ated claims, but are certain ’to return to

A druggist in Macon, Ga., says: “I :
have sold a large quantity of Mother’s
Friend, and have never known an in
stance where it has failed to produce the j
good results claimed for it. All women
agree that it makes labor shorter and less
painful.”
Mother’s Friend
is not a chance remedy. Its good effects !
are readily experienced by aH expectant
mothers who use it. Years ago it passed •
the experimental stage. While it always j
shortens labor and lessens the pains cd I
delivery, it is also o" the greatest benefit i
during the earlier months of pregnancy. '
Morning sickness and nervousness are ■
readily overcome, and the liniment relaxes
the strained muscles, permitting them to ,
expand without causing distress. Mother’s
Friend gives great recuperative power to .
the mother, and her recovery is sure and
rapid. Danger from rising and swelled ;
breasts is done away with completely.
