TO DISCUSS CUBAN SITUATION
GeiHTnl llronku Cntlcil to WnnhliiKton
for Conference Information
from Colonel ICcnnon.
WASHINGTON , Aug. lu. General Brooke
nlll bo called to Washington to consult
with Secretary Root concerning affairs In
Cuba. The secretary desires to have the
benclU of General Brooke's knowledge of
the situation on the Island before ho reaches
nny conclustcnu as to a 'future ' policy for
Cuba. No data has been fixed for General
llrooko'B vlolt , but It will no doubt be gov
erned by the developments In the situation
and before the secretary begins his annual
report to the president.
Colonel Kcnncn of the Thirty-fourth In
fantry , recently appointed , tint who has
been on duty at Havana ns assistant ad
jutant general , had a long conference with
Secretary Root today. Colonel Kernion so
impressed President McKlnley with the In
formation he brought from Havana that the
president thought it advisable ho should
talk with , Secretary Root. Colonel Kennon
assured both the president and Secretary
Root that the course which General Brooke
Ras pursuing met Ith general approval and
fans of that careful and conservative nature
required by the conditions In the Island.
Itwas necessary to make radical changes ,
but the policy of the general has been to
make the old fit the new with ns little fric
tion as popfllblo.
As to elections In Cuba , Colonel Kennon
told the secretary that ho thought the time
was still somewhat distant when they could
ho held to. advantage. By a provision In
the peace treaty the Spanish residents In
the Island -were given one year from the
date of exchange of ratifications In which
to declare their preference as to citizen
ship.
Elections could not be held , he said , until
after the year elapsed In Justice to this
class. The desirability ot leaving the mat
ter open was apparent'saidiColqnel , Ken
non , because ,0 , , latgo proporljon , of the
'
property was owned by Spnnlsh'su'bjects ani
i If It could bo demonstrated to them thai
their Interests were In becomlrfg Cuban'clli-
zens it would be better for the future 'of
the island.
Colonel Kennon said that the people ot
Cuba were fast coming to the conclusion
that the Interests of all would be best
subserved by these people accepting Cuban
citizenship and by Spaniards and Cubans
acting In harmony , and \\hile they do not
mix well at present the feeling ot irrlta
tlou Is wearing away. The matter of suf-
fragu Is one Colonel Kennon said which
must bo carefully considered. The disad
vantages vvhlch the great proportion of the
jicoplo have been under and which have
prevented them from being educated will
make It extremely hazardous to grant uni
versal suffrage when the time cornea for
Holding an election.
Secretary Root was very much gratified
with the Information which Colonel Ken
non conveyed , The secretory has been re
ceiving a great mass of documents and data
upon Cuba and Porto Rico. Some of the
alleged facts arc diametrically opposed to
each other and the secretary Is not trying
to ruconcllo tbo differences nnd sift the
truth .

from the United States minister in llaytl ,
% lr Powell , detailing quite fully the circum
stances ot the recent attempted arreet ot
ll i
Du Vlvlcr within the United States legation
and also touching upon the political agita
tion which has existed of lateIn that coun
try. He states that owing to the unset
tled nnd rather depressed financial condi
tions prevailing the political opponents of
the government have become active and
have held a number ot meetings to express
their discontent. Thli has led to n number
of arrests on suspicion , although it does
not appear that any arrests were upon a
regular charge of treasonable acts. The ar
rests were quite numerous and In one of
Mr. Powell's dlspaptchcs he states that there
were slxty-nlno persons arrested. Ho dis
tinctly states that the government authori
ties have adopted no summary methods and
that none of these arrested on suspicion have
been shot.

value at which the consular certificate which

appeal to the courts ,

and were driven donn to the auditorium ori
the croumls of the Catholic Summer School
of America at Cliff Haven on Lake Cham-

iA triumphal arch of evergreens Interlaced
with American fines had been erected n (
the entrance to the crounds nnd the audi
torium nnd .many of the cottages on the
grounds had ibccn gaily decorated with flags
and Dunlins In honor of the president's
visit. The road from the hotel to the sunii
mer school crounds was lined with people
nnxlous to set a cllmpse of the president ,
As the president entered the auditorium thi
spectators arose and sang a song composed
for the occcaslon and set to the music of
Donizetti's " "
"El Purltanl.
Rev. M. J. Lavclle , president of the Cath

McKlnley. Father Lavello's speech was
frequently Interrupted by hearty applause ,
and \\hen , during the course of his remarks ,
ho predicted that the "many millions of
people recently brought under our protec
torate -would make American citizens as
loyal , as sturdy and as true as those that
are hero toJay , " the audience1 cheered en
thusiastically.
ApplnUHC IH Voi'lferouH.
As President McKlnley arose the audience
applauded , cheered , waved flags , handker
chiefs and parasols , until he ipade a motion
for them to desist. He had not Intended to
speak. In tact , this Is the first Invitation
to appear In public that ho has accepted
since ho arrived at the hotel. Ho drova to
the summer school grounds today because
the grounds arc- only half a mile from the
hotel and holshed to meet again the many
friends ho met when he visited the school
two years ago. But the warmth of the greet
ing which was accorded evidently caused
him to cbango his tnlnd. He said :
Pother Lnvcllc , Members of the Catholic
Slimmer School. Ladles and Gentlemen : I
had not Intended to say a word , but J can
not sit In silence In the presence of this
splendid demonstration of your goodwill and
patriotism. I cannot forbear lo give expres
sion. to my very high appreciation of the
gracious welcome you have given me here
today and the moro than gracious words
of commendation uttered by yonr president.
Whatever the government of the United
States has been able to accomplish slnco I
last met you hero IB because the hearts
of the people have been with the govern
ment of the United States. Our patriolfsm
Is neither sectional nor BPCta-lan.

We may differ In our religious beliefs ,
but wo nro united for the country. Loyalty
to country Is our national belief. Wo fol
low , nil of us , our flag ; It symbolizes our
aspirations , It represents what we beUaye
and what wo mean to mam'.nln nnd wher
ever It floats It Is the flog of the free , the
hope of the oppressed , nnd wherever it Is
.assailed at nny sacrifice It will be carried
to a triumphant peace. We have more lings
hero than we ever had "before. They nre
In evidence everywhere. I saw them oar-
rled by the little ones * on your lawn and
as long as they carry th2soi flags -In their
little hands there wll. | 0patiptl nvfntbpl- , }

homes of ralUtons , . eveiOrornour. Riff fs , of

from the shops , the factories , the mining
towns and It .waves , from the camp of the

bertnan's hut In the dense foiest. It Is
found In the hoino of the humblest teller
and what It represents Is dear to Ills heart ,
Rebellion 'may delay , tout -it can never de
feat its blessed mission of liberty nnd hu
manity. Thank you again for this roost cor
dial nnd gracious greeting.
The president spoke slowly but deliber
ately In a modest tone. Only once did lie
raise his \olce when ho said the flag "when-
ever It is assailed will be curried to a tri
umphant peace. "
The cheering which Interrupted his speech
at this point fairly shook the roof and he
was unable to make himself heard f6r nearly
a minute.
At the dose of the president's speech the
audlenco joined Mn singing the "Star
Spangled Banner , " and they sung it with a
will. The audience' then formed In line nnd
filed across the stage and shook hands with
Mr. McKlnley. The president nnd Father
I/avello then left the building and walked
around the grounds , followed by the crowd.
After they had Inspected the grounds the
president nnd Mr. Cortelyou re-entered their
carriage and were driven back to the hotel.

CAPETOWN , Aug. IB. No reply has been
received here Up to the present from the
Transvaal government on the subject of the
latest British proposals for o peaceable set
tlement of the questions In dispute and a
dispatch from Pretoria says the reply when
sent \\111 be disappointing and that It Is
feared the result will be the breaking off
of negotiations. Great anxiety prevails at
tlio capital of the Transvaal.
PRETORIA , Aug. 16 The executive coun
cil concluded Us session at 12:30 : p. m. , when
orders were Issued to the fluid cornets to
Give out Mauser rifles In exchange for Mar
tini-Henry rifles. A great crowd gathered to
receive the arms.
The possibility of war with Great Britain
Is about the only subject dlacuised , and It
Is generally felt the burghers should bo con
sulted before extreme measures arc adopted.
JOHANNESBURG , Aug. 15. The Trans

WASHINGTON , Aug. IE. The situation
in the Transvaal is regarded by ofllclals here
aa critical. Thus far , however , the State
department has not received a. word from
nny source concerning the strained condi
tion of affairs and thcro Is no disposition
to take up such question of neutrality and
the care of our Interests In that locality
unless the war Issue Is actually framed.
Charles MacFrum Is the- United States con
sul stationed nt Pretoria. He has sent a
number of reports , all of them dealing
with commercial affairs , nnd has not
touched on the delicate relations existing.
The United States also has a consular agent ,
J. H. 'Manton , at Johannesburg , but he has
not been heard from snce | he was ap
pointed. There ha\o been recent press re
ports from Johannesburg that a colored
blacksmith claiming to be an American had
been roughly handled by the fleld coronets
and that he had read the question of his
American citizenship and had appealed to
the American republic. The State depart
ment has been expecting to hear from Mr.
Mftiilon on this case , but nothing has come
thus far.
Admiral HowlBon's return will probably
shed much light on the condition of affairs
with the Boers and the extent of American
interests , for while the Chicago was In
South African waters the- admiral spent
much time at Pretoria and Johannesburg.
The admiral has as yet no report of his
movements.

BOSTON , iMa'ss. , " . Aug. , . .HiJTbe AnU'Im-
perialUt league at a meeting today voted to
Issue a pronunclamento , which was given out
tonight through Its president , ox-Governor
George S. Boutwell.
The document asserts that the antl-lm-
perlallst movement has made rapid progress
In the last five months nnd declares :
"This league is now carrying on the con-
teat and It will continue to carry It on , upon
the Idea and on the belief that the president
of the United States especially is responsi
ble .for the war and that President McKln
ley at any moment , or the United States ,
acting through him , or through a successor ,
can trlns the war to an end. It is our
purpose to aid in brlnelne the war to an
end and In advance wo reject any and all
schemes of compromise.
"Our information and experience Justify
he opinion that the body of antl-lmperallsts
the country over will disregard the claims
of democratic questions , subordinating them
one and all to the single purpose of com-
irehenslve nubile policy the purpose to
jrlns the army ot the United States out of
the Philippine Islands with the least pos
sible delay , and without delay to recognize
Inhabitants of the Philippines , of Cuba and
Porto Rico the rlcht of self-government ,
agroeaolo to the principles of the Declara
tion of Independence and as a plcdce of a
permanent -policy of the United States. "
