On the Brutus arriving at Manila
Lieut, Smith took ltuencamiuo to the

Manila. Nov. 27. T'-o last Filipino
council of war was held by the retreat

ber !fJ, in the house now occupied by
Gen. Ma"Arthur. It was attended by
Aguiualdo, l'io del Pilar, Garcia, Ale

called cabinet. Information has
reached Gen. MacArlhur from several
sources to the effect that the council
recognised the futility of attempting
further resistance to the Americans
with united forces and agreed that the
Filipino troops should scatter and
should hereafter follow guerrilla
methods.
PROBLEM HARD TO SOLVE.
Tho lriiltlunt Kealtzix tho Dlfllcully of
Milk I ni; I.ntlu Cull. ui l'rci'iiirn by
tliu Amerlciui Standard.
Washington, Nov. 27. "In my opin
ion," writes one of the most intelligent
stud thoughtful of tlie American otlicer.s
now on the island, "the trouble Cuba
is to give the administration and the
people of the United States cannot bo
conceived as yet." As more of his let
ter hliows, this ofllcer does not mean
the maintenance of good order with
military force is to be diflieult. Hit
lie remembers that this country en
tered upon the task of freeing Cuba on
high moral grounds. He roali.es how
bard it is going to bo to make of thes
Latin Cubans freemen by the Ameri
can standard. Ho knows that the wai
was not one of conquest, lie appre
ciates the sentiment that demands for
these people the privileges of citizen
ship. He understands as most of his
fellow-citizens do not how slowly the
lesson of self-government will bo
learned by the peculiar race.
The administration is already realiz
ing something of the perplexity of the
Cuban problem. Citizenship based upon
education or property means disfran
chisement of the mass of the Cuban ne
groes. Perhaps two-thirds of the Cu
bans who fought for freedom with Go
mez and (Jarcia and Macco were ne
groes. Whito Cubans of position and
means remained in the cities and ren
dered quasi-loyalty to Spain. Shall the"
new government bo representative of
the latter class to the exclusion of the
former? The president has thought
much of this. He has tentatively dis
cussed with his advisors a plan of suf
frage which will avoid such Injustice
to the men who fought and which will
not give, over the control to the igno-
. rant and the poverty-stricken. His
proposition is to make electors of all
who served in the war against Spain
and of all others who come within cer
tain qualifications of education and
property.

which has accepted thu deposits of
thousands of persons in llrooklyn un
der promise of paying dividends of ten
per cent, a week, or 520 per cent, per
annum, and Cecil Leslie, his secretary,
were indicted by the Kings county
grand jury and bench warrants were
issued for their arrest. The concern
yesterday had assigned and the two
men wanted wore missing.
Inspector rirennan arrested Louis
Miller, brother of the head of the syn
dicate, and the cashier of the concern,
and took possession of S15.000 in cash.
There were -10 employes engaged at
work in the olllces and these were al
lowed to go.
No syndicate has ever attempted to
pay any such wonderful rates of inter
est us the Franklin syndicate and, it is
said, within the last week Miller has
received deposits of hundreds of people,
aggregating a daily amount of from
$00,000 to S 10,000. 'Not only were the
people living within the limits of
Greater New Yorlc large depositors
with the Franklin syndicate, but cities
all over the country contributed the
earnings of scores of their residents to
swell the wealth of the syndicate. Tlio
mail delivery dally at Miller's otllco
amounted to about three wagon loads
and most of the letters con tallied money.
Miller claimed to make his abnormal
profits through speculation in Wall
street, though no evidence is forthcom
ing up to the present time to show
that lie ever speculated in stocks to
any extent.
