Scnor Darlolomc Maso , president of the Cuban provisional administrative council , has Issued nn address to the JUomtcs now In attendance at the military assembly at Santa Cruze del Sur , In which ho reviews the considerations upun vtilch the Cubans solicited the help of the United States and indicates ttielr wisest fu ture policy. Tht address In part Is as follows : "The Cubans accepted the assistance of the Americans , although not knowing exactly what were the American alms , just as they would liavo accented the help of any other country In their fight against Spain. As the contest progressed the Cubans In the Held were gratified tc hear of the solemn declar ations of the United States congress regard ing the intentions of the American govern * mcnt and the path it would follow in the Spanish-American war. The Americans came to our help to compel Spain to relinquish her soverlcnty over Cuba In order that the Cubans themselves might be placed ns promptly as possible- possession of the Island ; intent assume the administration of its affairs and have a government of their own. Kxtieet HeroKiiltlon of Government. "Therefore thu Cubans agreed to co operate with the Americans , to obey orders of American generals and help in all possible ways to establish a Cuban government when the Americans took possession. Though America did not recognize the government of the Cubans It was well understood that the Cubans would not on that account abandon their organization but that on the contrary the time would como when such recognition would be granted. Indeed It was asserted to our Cuban representatives by ono of thu most distinguished members of the United States government and also by the members of the United States senate that ln > order to do away with any obstacle that might hinder the United States to go Into the fight for the case of Cuban Inde pendence , recognition of a Cuban govern ment must come later. "Nevertheless It has not been possible to establish direct relations between the Cuban and American governments for the trans actions of the public business , although the general character of our relations through out the war was friendly. But we have now reached a time when , oven more than In the days of fighting , It is Incumbent upon fill Cubans to show true patriotism and while making every expression of gratitude to America fcr having given Cuba freedom and Independence to make prompt arrangements for paying oft the Cubans now in arms and for pelting the country Into working order.1' AlfnlrH of .Military Government. General Leonard Wood , commander of the military department of Santiago , returned today on board the United States -gunboat Hist from Manzanlllo , where he liad been to consult with Colonel Pettlt , military gov ernor of Manzanlllo , regarding the admin istration of the district under the latter's control. The Hist was eight hours- late , owing to the West Indian' hurricane and-'the-Joseflta. a much , faster vessel , which let.Manzanh'lo . twelve hours before the Hist , la now thirty hours overdue. Fears are entertained for Its safety. The amalgamation of the military and civil departments under one administration , particularly euch a man as General Wood , who is thoroughly posted and popular with all elements , greatly facilitates the dla- patch of public business. General Wood In tends so far as possible to maintain the original military department lines In the province , sending a regiment to each dis trict as the Spaniards evacuate.

More fuel was added to the fiamo of Pennsylvanla'8 furious campaign tonight when Dr. Silas C. Swallow , the "honest ovcrnmcnt" candidate for governor , boldly charged that the demo. cratlc state chairman , John M. Garmnn , had made a proposition to Senator Quay to "sell out" the state democracy. In support o ! his accusation Dr. Swallow produced an affidavit sworn to by E. C. Miller , a traveling man of this city. Miller swears that on September 8 last ho met on a train between Wllllamsport and Philadel phia Charles E. Keck , a Wllkcsbarrc 'lawyer , who told him ho was on his way to see Quay with n message from Gannan. Keck being a republican ho explained his selec tion thus : "Gannan told mo that he had lots of men In the democratic party , but none that ho could trust with a mission of that kind. The proposition Is that If certain leg islation and favors In certain counties are given to Garman he will Insure those coun ties for Stone and he will offer positive evi dence that he can deliver the goods. " W. A. Stone Is the candidate for gov ernor. Miller alleges that they went together to the republican state committee headquarters , but Senator Quay was In Atlantic City and Keck went there after him. When they met In Philadelphia next day Keck told Miller , the latter swears , that he "laid the proposition before the old man and ho thought well of It" and ho was then ar ranging a mcetlug between Quay and Gar man. man.Dr. . Swallow said that Mr. Miller's state- mcnt was corroborated on many important points by documentary evidence , hotel regis ters , etc. , and that Mr. Miller voluntarily related the story.
