the report the archbishop has been
negotiating with the superintend-

affiliation of the parochial and pub-

'rctieged, to turn the Catholic
schools with their 70,000 children
over tni the municipal authorities,
provided" he is permitted to give
one hour’s instruction each day to
the Catholic children of the public

tion. He makes no other, either as
regards text books or teachers. It
is said many other metropolitans
are anxirtus to.adopt a similar pol-
■> icy if it meets the approval of the
apostolic delegate. A meeting of
archbishops, composing the Amer-.

take place in Washington.

ry it has made greater progress
than have most commonwealths in
three times that period, and Oak la.

territory has a distinctly American

attention in the medical world
some time ago when he announced
his discovery of the yellow fever
microbe. Since then he has given
all his time to finding a curative

discovery will be published this

It is announced by a Washing

Field, of the United States Su-
preme Court, will announce his re-
tirement from the Supreme Court
bench spme time during the pres

say nothing about the matter for
publication when newspaper men
call upon him. It has beqn his

Chief Justice Marshall for length

bench, aifd in this ambition he was
successful during the past summer.

Iu this country tile most terrible
visitation of the last century was
in 1793 when the mortality from
yellow fever in Philadelphia was
3500, in New York 2o8o, Brltimore
200, Wilmington, Delaware, 225,
in Portsmouth, N. H., loo, in
New London, Conn , 31, in Ches-
ter, Pa., 5o. In this year, also,
on the Island of San Ddmingo, out
of 25,000 troops the incredible
number ot 21,190 fell before the
dread destroyer. In I799 the
death list in Philadelphia from yel
low fever reached looo and in New
York 76. rr
Durifig the year 1800 the most
terrible ravages of the fever were
confined to Spain, where in Cadiz
the cases numbered 48,520, and
the deaths 7387; In Xeres with a
population of 33,000, the cases
□umbered 3o,ooo, and fhe deaths
13,000; in Seville, with a popula-
tion ot 80,568, the recorded egartk
reached the enormous number of
76,488, and the deaths 14,685.
Many other smaller ^Spanish cities
suffered in proporudn, aud in Ha
vana the mortality was io,977. In
this year, also, New Bedford, Prov-
idenoe, Hartford, Boston ^ New

Matanzas, Cuba, via Key West,
Oct. 19.—The business element In
’Havana and elsewhere seems to
have arrived at the conclusion that
the Madrid government cap not
end the war on the basis of autono-
my to Cuba, as there are not
enough loyalists among the autono-
mists to hold public office. At
least that is the claim the conser-
vative Spaniards make. In ad-
dition the latter expr A the belief
that the autonomists, Tvcn if,they
were placed in power, would not
be able to preserve peace aed pro-
tect life and property from the
lawless elements.
In view of this condition of af-
fairs, a number of inportant mer-
chants and sugar planters of Span-
ish origin, in conjunction with
several Cubans of prominence,
have been holding secret meetings
aud corresponding with people in
various parts ot the island with the
object of ascertaining the views of
the commercial and planting com-
munity in Pipar del Rio, Havana,
MataDzas, ardd Santa Clara provin-
ces, as io the future for Cuba most
likely to further their interests and
those of the island in general.
It fs expected that the majority
of the replies will be favorable to
annexation of Cuba to the United
States, as the Washington govern-
ment alone, apparently, is able to
guarantee peace in Cuba and the
protection of life and property.
As soon as it was ascertained
that this element of p.ersons ap-
pealed to are in favor Of annexation
a committee will be sent the Unified
States with instructions to lay t^ie
case of Cuba clearly before tlje
business men of prominence of the
United States and ask the latter to
unite with the business men of
Cuba in a petition to the Washings
ton government, asking the Uni-
ted States, in view of the failure of
the conservatives to suppress the
insurrection by force of arms, and
pointing out the impossibility of
the liberals ending the war by es-
tablishing an autonomous form of
government, to bring about the
annexation oi Cuba to the United
States
The plan oi Senor Sagasta,* the
new Spanish premier, to give au-
tonomy to Cuba, is far from giv-
.ing satisfaction nnd has greatly in-
creased the feeling of discontent.
The outonomist party, it is pointed
out, exists only in name, the ac-
tual majority of the autonomists
being in the insurgents ranks, and
with the exception possibly of Sen-
or Montoro aud a few other prom-
inent autonomists, the masses of
the party are in sympathy with the
rebels.
Consequently, it* will be seen,
the Spanish government, which
has consulted Senor Montoro on
the subject, is finding difficulty in
obtaining the suggestion of names
of autonomists to fill offices under
an autonomisi form Oi government.
It would be imprudenf, it is added,
to give such office* to the‘party
known as the reformists, as the
more influential Spaniards hate
them, and the aboptipn of such a
policy would' possibly mean riot*
ing add eveu worse. Besides, the
masses of the resident Spaniards
are strongly anti-autonomists and
there is little or no prospect of
making them change their miLds.
Recognizing the difficulty of
the task before Senor Sagasta, it
is not astonishing that the business
community in Cuba is exchang-
ing views on the subject of annex-
ation to* the United States, es-
pecially as a general uprising .of
the Spanish element is feared if
the Spanish 'government persists
in pushing its autonomist policy.^
Business men believe that auton-v
ojmy is only the/ firsr step towards
independance /in Cuba, and.the
feeling Of the'commercial classes
beidg that abuexation to the Uni-
ted StAes and the consequent safe-
guards to life and property is far
preferable to the establishment of
a hew republic in (^uba. 1
