The Litest advices re- j wived hero from Santa Cruz del Sur fixed . today au the definite date for holding the I I convention to be presided over by General j Callxto Garcia. The general opinion Is that the convention wilt bo limited to two or three session ? , at which the message of the co-called Cuban government will be unani mously approved without discussion. It is further said that the- Instructions to Je given to the commission which Is to so toash - Ingtoa will bo discussed secretly.

President Hartolomo Maso will afterward rotlre to private life nnd will take part in Improving the condition of the property which he owns near Manzanlllo. General Roloft has been commissioned by the Cuban government to make a statistical report on the personnel of the Cuban army.

SANTIAGO IK CUIJA , Oct. 25. ( Correspondence - spondenco of the Associated Press. ) The main problems to be faced by the province of Santiago , In fact , by the entire Island ot Cuba , in its ellort to throw oft the lethargy of centuries , are those which to a greater or lesi degree alll.ct nil communities , nnmi ly , capital and labor. With regard to the first there ore a very largo number ot people only desiring an opportunity to invest In the l land ns soon as a settled form of gov ernment Is decided upon , but who , naturally , under present conditions , knowing nothing regarding the future safeguards to property or the amount of taxes to ho levied , or the stability of the future government when It IB formed , hesitate to risk their money. In this province alone It Is estimated that there are fully $20,000,000 only watting for un assured form of government to be at nnco Invested in business enterprise * ) . A still greater problem to bo solved is the Oabor question , for even the existing Indus tries are crippled for want of hands , this particularly applying to the mines. The pay Is from 75 cents a day upward , or about the name as paid In the phosphate mince ot Florida , nnd the mines will board the laborers at 25 cents a day. It may be taken as an established fact < hat the jjresont generation ot Cubans will never become miners. They are far too enervated and indolent and the negro race liero finds the means of u lazy subsistence 1oo easily at hand to have any Incentive to labor. They may , doa Httle light work In the ehop or may make a few cigars , or may even condescend to do a little house work If ytiu do not expect too much In the way of cleaning , but what the native Cuban prefers Is to put on n few stars , a huge pair of boots , enormous spurs and u hat nomethlng wondro.ua to behold , mount nn onay-golng Cuban pony and parade the prin cipal streets. Give this to the Cuban , white or colored , and you have him as pleased as U child with a new toy , as proud as a peacock Und about as sensible as an ostrich. In Santiago there la another clement add ing to the labor troubles , namely , the Jamaica negro , who l ono degree worse than nil ) Cuban brother In the matter of In dustry. There are over 2,000 of his typo Jioro , all wanting Jobs as waiters , stewards , valets or something equally easy ; but ns to the real work of thu Island , the digging , raining and labor that will bring the sweat to a man's brow , the Jamaica negro -wants none of U. The problem was long since solved In his wn country alnco the Importation of the Indian coolies under contract to work flvo yeara. The mlno owners and other largo employers of labor are considering some plan whereby they can overcome the diffi culty of obtaining men. The Spanish-Amer ican Iron company has Bent to Spain for 600 men. No one can take a three hours' ride over this part of the Island without being Impressed with the fact that the earth Is iibout the most productive on the face of the Klobo and that a man with a family nnd $200 or $300 Is probably better off here than nywhere else In tha world. With very llt- lo labor he gets not only the necessaries of lite , but even its luxuries , and In addition can always sell enough to supply himself nnd family with the things ho cannot grow.

HITCHCOCK ANDJDOLORED MEN CoKt-nt lluimon AVhy He Should Nnt mid Willet Ilccclrc Any of Tlielr Vote" . OMAHA. Nov. 7. To the Editor of Th nee : The report -Is being circulated that some one claiming to carry the negro vote In hi * pocket has agreed to turn said vote over to G. M. Hitchcock to nld him In his congressional nspiratlona , therefore , as a colored voter , I ask pace In your paper to call attention to a Met which will satisfy every man who credits us with Just a little common acnso that no such goods as our votes can be delivered to Mr. Hitchcock. On October ! , 1891 , George Smith , a colored man , charged with the crime ot rape , was taken from the Douglas county jail by a mob and lynched. At Indignation meetings held for the purpose of condemning the transfer of the methods of Mississippi nnd Louisiana to Nebraska resolutions were passed strongly placing the responsibility for this lynclng nnd the disgrace It brought upon our city at the door of G. M. Hitch cock and ths > World-Herald. Upon Its front page upon the morning of October 9 , 1891 , In glaring headlines the World-Herald had tills to say : "Ho Is Too Vile to Live. Kvery Reason for the Lynching of n Lustful Young Negro. " Aside from this , all through the day of Oc tober 'J false and misleading bulletins were posted In front of the World-Herald office , ono of them , late In the afternoon , announc ing the death of the little girl. These mis representations Infuriated the populace un til restraint broke down all barriers , and as u result Oeorgo Smith was lynched. While ns strong In his condemnation of the crime with which George Smith was charged as any class of our citizenship can possibly be , the negro Is Just ns strongly opposed to lynching and It Is an insult to his good sense and manhood to for a moment entertain a belief that any person can deliver our vote to a man whom we believe to have been guilty of Inciting the lynching of a man of our race. It Is safe to predict that Hon. David H. Mercer will get 100 per cent of the colored vote of Douglas county. COLORKD VOTEU. CHAIRMAN KIliUSTK.UJ'S UECOHL ) . County ( Hill-lain Umlorne HIP Conduct of tlic CoiiiinlNNlont-r. Below nre given two addresses to voters , which are Intended to answer the guerrilla lire that has been kept up on Chairman Klerstead of the county hoard during the last few weeks : To the Voters of Douglas County : My at tention having been called to certain criticisms In the World-Herald concerning the ofllclnl actions of Mr. Kleratead In th settlement of the poor farm claims , I rteslro to make the following statement : I wad acting ns special attorney for Douglas county In all matters relating to the poor farm claims and suits , having been employed In that capacity prior to Mr. Klerstead's election as county commissioner. In every respect , so far as those claims ure con cerned , Mr. Klerstead as well as the other commissioners , followed my advice. Upon receiving a proposition of settlement from the claimants , I udvlsed that It be accepted , as It was a very advantageous offer for the county , saving a largo amount that other wise might have been lost. lu no Instance did Mr. Klerstead overrule or Ignore my advice and the charges made against him that hfc did so are without any foundation and arc absolutely unjust to Mr. Klerstead. WILLIAM D. BECKETT , f Special Attorney for /Douglas County ! .To the Voters of the Second CommlssIon rA District : \Refcrrlng to he numerous At tacks madf by the World-IHerald of this cl'.y against the record of William I. Klcrstead , county commissioner for the Second district , Douglas county , during his flrst term , with a view to defeat his return for a second term , at the coming election , the under signed , county officials , heads of depart ments of Douglas county , deem it a duty ns ; well as a privilege to refute the unjust criticisms of this paper , and to assort that In all our acquaintance with the actions of Mr. Klerstcad In an official capacity ho has acted with a view to the best lnter sts of , the county , and we unhesitatingly affirm that u' should bo re-olected commissioner of the Second district. In obedience to the will of .ho republican convention , at whose bands i 10 received the nomination by acclamation. Signed by D. M. Haverly , county clerk ; eorgo Helmrod , county treasurer ; O. W. McIJrldo. county surveyor ; Irving F. Baxter , county Judge ; E. J. Bodwell , uounty superintendent of schools ; John W Mc Donald , tihsrlff ; H. II. Baldrlge , county at torney ; Thomas S. Crocker , register ot 1 deeds ; J. H. Tate , auditor. OMAHA , Nov. 7. To the Voters of the Third , Eighth and Ninth Wards : Tomor row you will vote for county commissioner for your district. Mr. Klerstead , the re publican candidate. Is the present chairman ot the board , and has the confidence and en dorsement of the other members , as well as all other county officials. He has served i the county faithfully ono term , and should ' bo re-elected. Mr. James P. Connolly , the fusion candidate , Is said to be without business qualifications , which are necessary to make a good commissioner. He Is re lated to Dick Burdlsh nnd Pat Ford , and It > Is fair to presume they would run the county affairs If Connolly was elected , Pat t Ford being already slated for superintendent of the County hospital ; not only would the twenty-two republicans , employes at the county hospital be turned out , but also all 1 others employed by the county. The vicious attacks on the official actions ot Mr. Kler stcad. published In the World-Herald , will 1 not bo believed by those who know him. The vote of the commissioners on all ques tions referred to by the World-Herald has been unanimous , and Mr. Hector , whom that paper U supportlnc , voted with Mr. Klerstead on them nil , nnd although they say that Mr. Klerstcad IB n bad man , they claim Mr. Hector to be all that could bo dcfllred. They have had a reporter at every meeting vigilantly watching , but have never had occasion to criticise Mr. Klerstead until i election time. H. C. AKIN. Hitchcock nnd the It-lull. OMAHA , Nov. 7. To the Editor of The Bee : Will you kindly publish the following to the Irish citizens of this district ? How can any Irishman vote for G. M. Hitchcock for congress ? A man who through the Influence of his paper did all In his power for the last eight years to belittle Irishmen on account ot their nationality and creed ? In my opinion his paper Is a filthier shi'.t than the American. In my Judgment ho Is unworthy of the vote of any Irishman In this district or any other. Yours very sincerely , J. J.

KANSAS CITY. Nov. 7. Nebraska uni versity's foot ball eleven , the champions of the Intercollegiate association , went down today .before the strong team ot thu Medical cotlcffo of Kaunas City. Tbo Nebraskans not only lost their first game of the acajou , but lost It by the very bad score of : M to 0. The game proved the best which lias been seen In Kansas City this year. Tim came , In fact , catno near being an Ideal gridiron contest. If there WUB any lugging Indulged In it was not apparent. Fumbling was a thing of which there was very little. There was but one penalty Im posed for off-sldo play and but ono man hail to leave the game on account of Injury. This was Morley , who played as fine a game as could bo asked , and was responsible for many a gain , but who llnally emerged from a scrimmage well toward the end of the game with a pain In hla sldo which Is not consid ered oerlous. The Nebraska team wus not in the best condition , as the hard pounding Uio men had received at the game lust Saturday told on them. There were one or two changes In tha lineup which weakened the tram to some extent , but the Nebraskans were so clearly outplayed that they could not find any cause for complaint. The Medics did most of their work by hitting the Nebraska line for short gains , Bometlmes keeping the ball more than twenty downs and advancing but two or three yards on each play. Two of the touchdowns weru made In this way , while the other two were scored by Heller nnd Lowls , who made beau tiful runs. Heller made ono of the longest and most sensational runs ever seen on a Kansas City field , carrying the ball for eighty-five yards through the line of grasp ing Nebraskans. Not very long after Heller had made his remarkable run Lewis added another one , which was for thlrty-flvo yards .and a touch down. Lowls got around tha end nnd threw off the Nebraska tacklora In masterly style. It was not often that the Nebraskans could make any decided Impression on the Medics' line and all their plays around the end weru blocked successfully. The ball waa very near 'the Medics' goal once in the first half , being but two yards from the goal line. As the ball was then In the possession of the Nebraska men it ' scorned that nothing but providence could prevent them from scoring. U was Lc-vls I who saved the day for the Medics , and took the ball away from the quarterback. The tall going to the Medics , they punted It out ' of danger , and Nebraska had lost Its ono chance to score. i The lineup was : 1 Medics. Position Nebraska. Morley.

Washington will tomorrow elect two congressmen nt large , two Justices of the supreme court and a legislature which will choose a successor to United States Seuator John L. Wilson , republican. Two amendments to the state constitution will also bo voted on , one pro viding for womau suffrage , Iho other for municipal taxation. There are four tickets in the field , the re publican , the people's party , the prohibition nnd the socialist labor. The Indications to night are that the result will bo very close between the people's party , which Is a fu sion of populists , democrats nnd silver re publicans , and the republicans , with the odds slightly In favor of the people's party ticket. They enter the contest with the prestige of 12,000 plurality of two years ago. The registration this year Indicates that the total vote will bo from fi.OOO to 10,000 less th.xn two years ago. Both parties claim the legis lature by a good working majority. The claims tonight on the slate ticket are : Fu- sloulsts , 8,000 to 13,000 ; .republicans , 2,000 to 4,000.

Well In formed men of both parties predict that the vote for governor tomorrow will fall oft' at least 2u per cent. Some claim that It. will not he nioro than 200,000 , though Un vote lu 1S9C was 300,000. Republicans \vho are well informed , admit that McMillan , democrat , will be elected by from 7,000 to 10,000 votes over Fowler. Neither party will give out statements , and neither cami i palgn committee will furnish figures. It Is generally conceded , however , that the vote will be not over 225,000 , and that the democratic candidate for governor will be elected. Only during the last two weeks lion a decided democratic Interest been shown In the campaign , and during these two weeks , there has bueu n noticeable de cline in republican activity. The campaign was contlncd almost exclusively to state Issues. Every Indication points to a quiet election.

The democrats claim the state for Elvln W. Crane for governor by from 7,000 to 12,000. Mr. Crauo refuses to make an es timate , but says he feels confident of elec tion. The legislature is In doubt , with ev erything depending on Essex county's eleven members of the house. Both parties claim Essex. Upon Essex depends the control ot the state and .tho election ot United States senator. The congressional elections , It la thought , will show democratic gains of two or three In the delegation of eight. The most probable complexion ot the congres sional delegation seems to bo five repub licans and three democrats. A quiet elec tion Is expected. M'lCIXMiV WILL UO IIOMU TO VOTE.

As to tht > legislative districts , however , which will choosy twenty-six hold-over state senators , who will assist In the naming ot a successor to United States Senator Cullom , and the twenty congressional districts , the contest has been lively. The republicans expect not only to hold what they have , but to make gains , while the democrats are confident that they will carry this city.

It is now believed over 43,000 Votes will bo cast. Bad weather affects the vote on the Mlisouri slope , as polling places arc far apart and the country sparsely settled. The slope Is the republican stronghold nnd controls the majority ' to some extent. The fusion com mittee 1 feels Jubilant over the prospects of bad ' weather and their recent reports.
