Sir ErneBt Casscl undertook tho duty, anil all the rnmalnlnR creditors will bo pnld off, tho money being advanced by Cassel to an amount variously estimated at between $3,000,000 and 51,000,000.

Ho already makes a considerable lncomo from his Hackney stud at Sandrliighnm, and the managers of the royal cattle farm at Windsor have been notified that in the future they will bo expected to Bhow a largo profit Instead of merely earning ex penses, as under the queen. Tho king has appointed a wealthy "banker" friend, Lord Karquehar, as mas ter of tho royal household, thus not only saving tho salary, $5,000, paid to tho pre vious masters, but also acquiring all the perquisites hitherto appertaining to the position, nnd securing a trained business man to mntiago tho affairs of Ills house hold.

Ever since, Brown's death tho room bad been closed, with a brass plato on tho door recording his virtues as described by tho hand of Queen Victoria herself. Lord lloborts' "honor list," which Is gen erally regarded ns absurdly out cf propor tion to tho work done In the South Afilcnn war, haB nevertheless caused lerrlnle grumbling at tho front. Tho flriU result Is the threatened resignation of Central naden-Pnwell, who only got a cnnHunmler- shlp of tho Unth, tho lowest grndj of that order, whereas ho oxpectod to ho mado a knight at tho least. An explanation offered Is that "Hobs" understood tho truo Inward ness of tho Mnfcklng slcgo and how thu at foctlvcnc&s of the belengucrment was mis represented for advertising vurposej, and how seriously it affected tho general plan of tho cnmpalgn.

Young Winston Church'll savo a terrible shock to the ministers by antagonizing War Secretary Uroderlck's uew army scaciue and deprecating militarism as calculated to divert tho energies of the country from Its natural commercial an I naval develop ment. This Is thoroughly reminiscent of Churchill's father and an nxtre.m'jly clever tuovo. It falls In with ,h? spirit of re- action against militarism and Dloated cx- pendltureu, already widely manifesting It Belt throughout the country.

Tho proceedings at the Whlto Houso wcro Interesting and important. Senor Capote acted us spokesman for the delegation. He thanked tho president for tho many courte sies shown them, which they accepted ns expression of good will to the Cuban peo ple. Ho Invited the president to visit and sec for himself the condition In tho Islands, and lenrn from contnet with tho inhabitants of tho lovo and affection which Cubans have for tho United States and their apprecia tion of whut has been done for them by this government In their struggle for freedom. Senor Capote ubked tho president to do something for tho Cubans upon an economic lino and particularly In tho matter of reci procal trado relations. He said that It was especially desirable to havo somotblng of this kind done beforo tho noxt crop was harvested, lu order that tho Cubans may seize thu advantages to them of the closer political anil economic relations with tho United States. In reply, the president said It was impos sible to settle the economic questions until tho political questions were disposed of. Ho told tho delegates llrst to form their gov ernment nnd then they would ho In a posi tion to enter Into negotiations with tho United States ns to trade relations. Cntiotc I'leuilii Poverty. Senor Capote responded that something ought to bu done whllo the Cuban govern ment was forming. Ho thought that while tho United States was exorcising control there might bo arrangements perfected sim ilar to those under contemplation by '.he secretary of wnr In 1S98, when the govern mcnt first passed under control of the United States. He told the president that tho Cuban republic did not wish to bo born In poverty und rags, and If It could not bo wealthy It would nt least prefer to havo something with which to support Itself and to have Its people In prosperous condl tlons, or with prosperous conditions Immo dlntely beforo them. The president again reverted to the fact that under tho present conditions, ns thu secrotury of war had advised them, ho did not see how It was posslblo to settle any economic questions beforo tho Cuban cab inet was formed. Ho would appoint com mlsstoncrs Immediately after a government wns organized to negotlato with similar commissioners from the Cuban government for reciprocal trade relations, nnd he bu llcvcd that tho United States would he ready to deal In a manner which would he beneficial to both countries. Ho thanked tho delegntes for tho Invitation to visit the Island and told them to assure tho Cuban people of his friendly Interest In them nnd his desire to seo them contented and pros perous. Hoot In Coiinlileriilily lliilirexaeil, Senor Capote, speaking to Secretary Boot, oxprctaed tho hopo that In the Interviews that had been held ho had said nothing In his oarnestness and nrgunicnt which was In any way offonilve. Tho secretary replied that, on tho contrary, ho highly appreciated tho nrgumontB of Senor Capoto, and his knowledge of tho questions had increased his admiration and respect for the legal nbllltles and keenness of tho Cuban people. Tho delegates then shook hands with the president nnd departed. General Capote later said to an Asso ciated PrcsB reporter: "We havo con cluded our business here. Wo have had two Interviews with tho president and four with tho secretary of war, during which nil matters we camo to discuss, had full and minute consideration. Wu came to con sider the relations between Cuba and tho United States, and theso, both political and economical, hnve hau tho most careful at tention. Wo return to Cuba and will de liver to tho constitutional convention all tho Information we have ubtalned Informa tion vhlch Is highly Important and Inter esting."

General Wood had an hour's talk with the president today before bis departure. Ho did not care to speak for publication of his opinion of the result of tho visit of the Cuban commission. There bad been a mutual understanding nt tbo confereaces that no specific statement ns to results should bo given out on either stdo in ad vanco of tho commission's report tn the constitutional convention. Thoro nro many political Judges among tho Cubans nt homo nnd General Wood said anything mudo pub lic nt this time might be liable, to miscon struction nnd lend to friction. General Wood, however, does not hesitate to state that tho Cubans have been Impressed with tho treatment they havo received and tho attentions shown them, and to say that undoubtedly they return with a more cor rect understanding of the meaning of tho terms of tho Piatt amendment and of tho sincere desire of tho American government to put Cuba on Its feet as an Independent government than they had before'. lluek'a lllut-Kn .Not SerlnM.

(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram,) Mrs, Hart, man, whom King Edward has made a life tenant of White lodge, Is a woman of whom tho most Is heard and tho least known at this moment in London socloty. So little knowledge existed of her antecedents, even omong the king's perconal circle, that she was thought to bo nn American, but the World learns that sho only passed romo years of her early matrled Ufa In New York nnd Chicago. Her husbnnd afterward f.ado great fortune out of an upholstery Bluff xnown ns red turkey twill. Both nro Juvs and hall from Frankfort. Her maiden name was Stcller. She Is now CO years old. For thlrty-flvu years Mrs. Hartman has enjoyed the friendship of royalties, espe cially that of tho prince and princess of Wnles. Her handsome house, at No. S9 Berkeley square, next door to Alfred HarmsNs or th's, was always at tho prince of Wales' disposal for n quiet luncheon to meet a few chosen Intimates, or when ho felt In the humor for a dinner, '.ollowcd by bridge whist or baccarat. The princess also esteemed Mrs. Hart- man, who often visited S.itidrlnghntn, and was called by her Christian name by all cf the prince of Wales family. Mrs. Hart man occasionally had Italian opera tars, Padcruwskl nnd other famous tnstrumon tallsts perform for the princess and three or four other friends, Her ontcrtnlnmintB wcro nlwnys small nnd', extremely select. Then on birthdays nnd other appropriate occasions sho Invariably gavo valuable presents to Wnles' family. Sho Is an adept at making herself agreeable to royalties. Nothing sho ever does for her royal friends Is ever advertised In tho society papers. This was hor sheet anchor with tho king. Tho World learns that tho circumstances under which sho got Whlto lodgo nio deemed a monument to her tact and thn king's keenness to take ndvantago of a good opportunity. Whlto lodgo, she know, was something of n whlto elephant to tl o king, who did not want the duko nnd duchess of Cornwall Installed there, viilc ho did not enre to Incur tho xp:nso of maintaining It himself. Mrs. Hnrtman, In these trying circumstances, petitioned I ho king to rent It to her, an olfer which Ud- ward was most graciously pleased to hc ccpt, nnd ho llxed tbo rental at ?11,:50, knowing that In her hands the house would bo absolutely at his disposal and bo prop erly kept up without expense to him, while tho rent also was a consideration. .Meantime tho transaction completely mystifies tho public press, which doesn't know what It means, hut tho king's Inti mates understand It well.

The duko has never proceeded with building his town mansion on tho valuable slto In Cur- zon street, Mayfalr, ho bought nnd cleared three years ago. According to ono account tho duchess has a superstition ngalnst building on n church slto; according to an other, difficulty has arisen nbout providing adequate stabling nccommodatloos, as the cascholders of tho house adjoining asked preposterous terms when tho duko proposed to buy them out.
