By Associated Press. New York. Dec. 2 —Vessels that left this port on November 25 bore rhe brunt of the (loubh-hurricane.

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.

MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3 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.

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.
