Matakzap, Culm, Oct 19. Tho bus
iness lueii hero, in Havana and else
where seem to have arrived nttlio con
clusion that the Mmlrltl government
cannot ami tho war on tho bnsU of
autonomy to Cuba, us thoro are not
enough Loyalists among the Autono
mists to holu public office, ami the
Autonomists, even If placed In power,
would not bo ablo to preserve peace
and protect life utid property from
tho lawless elements. In view of this
merchant and sugar planter of Span
lib origin, In conjunction with leading
Cuban, have been holding' secrot
meeting and corresponding with peo
pie in l'lnnr del Klo, Huvanu, Matuit
zas and Stmtu Clara provinces as to
the future.
Theso are generally In favor of an
nexation by tho United States on tho
ground that tho Washington govern
ment alone, apparently, It nble to
gttnrnntco peace In Cuba and protec
tion of life and property and a com
mittee will probably bo sent to the
United Stutes with Instructions to luy
the case of Cuba cluarly before the
business men of the United State and
aak the latter to unite with the busi
ness men of Cuba In a petition to tho
Washington government nsklng the
United HtatcH In vlow of tho failure of
the Conservntlvos to suppress the In
surrection by forca of arm and tho
impossibility of the Liberal ending
the war by establishing an autono
moua form of govurnuieut to bring
about the annexation of Cuba to the
United State.
The plan of Sonor Sugnstu, tho new
bjpmbdi premier, to give autonomy to
Ouba, far from giving satisfaction
here, has grca'ly increased tho feeling
of discontent. The Autonomist party,
it is pointed out, exist only In name,
the actual majority of the Atitono
mlits belugln the Insurgent ranks und
with the exception possibly of Scnor
Moatoro and a fow others, the masses
of lhat party aro In sympathy with
the Insurgents. It would bo Impru
dent, It U added, to giro such offices to
the party known as tho Iloformlsts, as
the more Influential Spaniards hate
them and tho adoption of such n poll
ey would possibly mean rioting
s)nd even worse. Resides, the mass of
the resident Spaniards aro strongly
anti-autonomists, and there Is little or
no prospect of making them change
1 heir minds.

Chicago, Oct. 20. At" o'clock this
morning the I.udgett jurymen uwoke
uud bathed their faces, llreakfust
was served and their deliberations
were resumed for a short tlmo, after
which all became iilot. Then rumors
if nil kinds were set alloat, while an
other crowd was gathering.
As early as 7 o'clock women sought
admission to the court room, before
tho Janitors had completed tho work
of putting the room In order. All
curly callers were turned nway, unit
thu .sheriff instructed his deputies to
restrain the crowds and prevent the
crowding of tho court room, ns 011
other days. Orders were Issued to al
low no one In the court room oxeopt
uewspapor men uud thoto directly In
terested in the trlul. This precaution
was taken to prevent any outbreak or
demonstration.
Five minutes bofore the time set for
the opening of court the crowd In thn
room was in marked contrast to that
of yesterday. Instead of tho nervous
throng which packed tho room
yestctduy uud lute Into thu night,
about twenty-five people, mostly
luwyers, newspttper men nnd those In
terested In tho trial, wore present.
Tho rows of benches were empty. Tho
strict orders given regarding the' ad
mission of people were well carried
out Outside tho court house the
street facing It was well filled with tin
orderly throng waiting patiently for a
verdict. One by one the counsel in
the case arrived at the court room. At
10 o'clock Judge Tuthlll sent word
thut he was within e.isy reach. Vin
cent wus confident of acquittal and
l'huleu expected disagreement,
t Despite the fact that sheriff Pease
gavo orders that the women be ex
cluded fiom the court room, a number
secured admission. The principal
reason for the exclusion of tho fair
sex wus a desire to prevent it repeti
tion of Saturday's hysterical scene.
The court room, which hud been
nearly empty dering the enrly hours,
began to fill up toward midday. Many
notable men crowded their way into
tho court room and rumuliied some
time In the hope of hearing tho ver
dict. At 11:13 o'clock William Charles,
Luotgert's business partner, who had
made untiring efforts for soverul hour-,
to learn what action the jury hud
taken, said: "It Is all guess work as
to tho verdict the Jury may take. I
have been told thut thu jury stands
ten for acquittal and two for convic
tion. I have ulso been told that the
jury is sevon for conviction, four for
acquittal and one not voting. No one
outside the jury room knows whut
they aro dolug. Hut the fuel that
they are still waiting gives us hope
for an ucaulttul."
At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon
State's Attorney Deneen said that tho
latest and best information lie hud
upon the attitude of the jury was that
eight stood for conviction nud the In
fliction of the death penalty and foui
were holding out for acquittal.

OEORGE M. PULLMAN DEAD
8ltrplni; Cur MuRni-l Strlrken Suddenly
Hick f.raa Tlmn nn Hour.
Cihcaoo, Oct 20. George M. Pull
man, inventor of the sleeping car
which bears his name, presldont of
the Pullman Palace Car company and
multl-mllllnuttlre, died suddenly at 3
o'cloak this morning of agluu pectoris.
The extreme lieut of last week, to
gether with perhups mote than his
usual exertion In showing some of his
friends about Piillmuu, had caused
Mr. Pulliuun a feeling of debility,
ubout which he spoke to one or two
friends, but which he did not regard
us sorlous. He told one of them Mon
day, who suggested that he was not
looking qultu its well ns usual, that he
had been unable to sleep satisfactorily
the last two nights und particularly
Sunday night, that he hnd some Ilttlo
difficulty in breathing, but that he
felt much better then and he felt thnt
n day or two would put him till right.
.Monday he felt so well that hu In
tended to leave for Yew York Thurs
day evening
After he left hi-, ofllce nt .' o'clock
Monday afternoon Mr. Pulliuun went
to his resldi nee and remained there
nil evening lie retired nt his usual
hour. About l:.io o'clock this morn
ing lie uwoke and called his body vr
vaut to h's bedsldo uud spoke of again
feeling uncomfortable. Finally he re
quested that the futility physician,
Dr. Hillings, bo sunt for.
lit the meantime, heuiing through
the servants of Mr. Pullman's indis
position, the Rev. Charles 11. F.atou of
New York, an intimate frleud of the
I 'till 111 tu family, and who was visiting
at their home, went hurriedly into
the room and found him stundlug up
and evidently in great pain. Mr.
Mnton went to the telephone, to cull
Dr. Hillings.
At tho same time Mr. Pullman at
tempted to walk to the lounge, but
before he reached it, required the as
sistance of his frleud to got there. He
thou became unconscious.
In tho meantime Dr Hillings had
arrived nt tho house and applied re
storatives but without avail and Mr.
Pullman quietly passed away without
regnlulng consciousness.
Mrs. Pullmnn, who was In New
York, wus Immediately telegraphed
for and Is expected to arrive in Chi
cago to-morrow morning.
Mr. Pullman's death atlccted the
Chicago stock market quite apprecia
bly. Ho was said to have been a
heavy holder of both Diamond Match
and New York Biscuit securities, two
of tho most uetlvo stocks listed upon
the local exchange. When tha an
nouncement of Mr. Pullman's doath
was posted upon the bulletin board it
caused a break lu the latter stock of
.T points. A break of b points In
Pulliuun Ptilulucc, ear stock wus chron
icled on Wall street, but a rally fol
lowed. It Is believed In local .stock exchange
ilreles that Horace Porter will sue
