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

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.

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 ;

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.

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. KENNEDY ,

.Saturday.
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.

SEATTLE. Wash. , Nov. 7. Washington
will tomorrow elect two congressmen nt

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.

NASHVILLE. Tenn. , Nov. 7. Well In

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.

tle the sltuatiqu Is extremely mixed ar d
both sides dalmta sweeping victory In Nfw
Jersey. Foster M. Voorhees , the republican
candidate , claims ho will bo elected by
5,000. 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

CHICAGO. Nov. 7. The election In
Illinois tomorrow will bring out a pretty
full vo'o. th.0 realisation , particularly In
Chicago , being nn largo ae was hoped for by
the managers ot the different politics !
parties. There U comparatively little In
terest In the state tickets , as only two minor
officers arc to be chosen a treasurer nnd
superintendent ot public Instruction. 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. If they do they
may gain sovor.il state senators and two
or three congressmen.

FARGO , N. D. , Nov. 7. Tonight the chairmen -
men of both the republican and democratic
state committees are confident of success.
Snow flurries tonight , with prospective bad
wrathcr tomorrow , make some republicans
believe It will affect their majorities , but
they nisert It Is a question of majorities
with the head to the ticket. 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. The
republicans claim n tnnjorlty of at least four
teen and porhapa twenty In the legislature.
The democrats concede the republican ma
jority but claim It will be much lower.

DENVER , Nov. 7. There are signs to
night of a snowstorm before the balloting

mountain regions and will probably curtail
the vote. While the republican manager : )
profess to be confident of decline their entire -
tire state ticket , odil of J to 1 In favor of
the fusion ticket find few takers in the pool
rooms. The fusion managers figure on a
majority anywhere from 33,000 to 75.000.
Thu republicans practically concede the elec-
lion of the fusion candidate for congress ,
John C. Bell , but expect , to make n good
showing In electing a legislature to choose

CHEYENNE , Wyo. , Nov. 7. The weather
in Wyoming turned cold this afternoon ,
with heavy cloudy and northeast winds.
Should ; snow fall the voting tomorrow will
not be heavy. The last half of the cam
paign la closed and has been full of inter
est and the contest for the ballots vigorous
by both great parties. A repubMcan vic
tory for the entire state and congressional
ticket Is probable , with moderate but safe
majorities. The legislative ticket will prob
ably keep pace with the congressional
ticket , thus Insuring a republican sucectmor
to Senator Clark.

settled down to the reiteration by party
managers ot claims hitherto made.
Considerable work was done Sunday by the
leaders , hut generally speaking , the evi
dences of a hot election contest throughout
the state are wanting. A fierce war Is be
ing waged in the Second congressional
district , which Includes the counties of New
Haven , Wnterbury and Mlndcn. The friends
ot James II. Webb , the democratic nominee ,
claim a certain victory , but N. D. Sperry ,
the republican candidate , and his friends are
Just us sanguine. Taken alj In all , the
probabilities point to a gcncz.il republican
Victory In Connecticut tomorrow.

that the democrats will carry the election.
The republicans , however , feel certain ol

ADMIT niTCIICOCR'S ' DEFEAT
( Continued from First Pace. )
Mr. Mercer nnpbaslzcd upon the fact that
the war Is not yet settled and the terms of
peace not concluded. President McKlnlcy.
ho remarked , li going home to Canton. O. ,
to vote the .republican ticket them nnd
when he returns the first telegram ho will
look for. nfter having vlMtcd the west to
sound the eeutttncnt hero aa well ns to BCO
the great exposition , will bithat from
Omaha to setIf Nebraska Is going to stand
by his administration.
Mr. Mercer also referred to his oppo
nent , Baying It had been the understanding
between thorn that all personalities were to
be avoided in this contest , but that Mr.
HHchcock had somehow managed to fre
quently get something In his paper deroga
tory to .Mr. Mercer.
The cheering which followed Mr. Mercer's |
brief speech was fully as gre.\t as that which I
was Indulged In before ho started , The
final speech was made by T. L. Matthews ,
candidate for state auditor. Mr. Matthews '
complimented the audience upon Its slzo
nnd enthusiasm and adjured nil present to
remember Hudyald ' " "
Kipling's "llcceaslonal"
hymn : "Lord CJod of hosts , bo with UR yet :
leat 'we forget , lest wo forgot. " The revolu
tion of the political wheel , ha said , when
ever it brought the republican party on top ,
always gave to the people prosperity.
Three- cheers were then given for the
American government nnd the republican
party and the last rally of the campaign
broke up.
( cm of u l'ii- l < > ii llnlly.
There was a fusion rally In a pool room
at 1006 Capitol uveuuo last night that was
really quite a gem of Its kind. A vivid
odor of chloride of lime circulated Indus
triously through the apartment as If In an
ticipation of the antiquity of the argu-
i | ments that were advanced by tlu > various
1 Bpoakcrs. About twenty colored voters j
stood around the pool tables in dcferaico
j i to the presence of Silas Kobblne , but with
' a few exceptions they were all republicans
and the popullstlo tirailed of the spcakcm
failed to elicit the sllghte-sl Indication of
' approval. J. K. Ingalls , a rec-'iit Importa-
| I lion from Missouri , talked at tome length
1
In a wordy effort to convince the voters that
they were ground to the earth under a most
. horrible system of government and assured
| them that the only way to secure pros
perity for their children wan to vote , for the j
triplicate combination. Sllns Uobblns and i
W. 8. Felker spoku briefly nnd neither was
able to arouse nny enthusiasm.
