early in the' course oi the meal Mrs.
Divis made some such remark as?
"Eat a good breakfast and we'll all go
together."

the remark to the extent that he did not
appease his appetite. A daughter,

about a half cup of coffee, became sick
and vomited. The rest of the family
continued the morning meal, although
the children made very wry faces and
said the coffee did not taste good.

much whisky up the river instead of
supplies.

their attention, and which they picked
up as a souvenir of their trip. Out of
mere curiosity they sent the rock to tho
Virginia stato assayer at Richmond to
havo it analyzed. When tho assay was
completed it. was found to be r:ch in
gold.
Upon hearing this the gentlemen wont
to Carroll county and discovered a
mountain that was rich in tho same
stono. They secured about 50 pouuds
of it and leased tho riohest aud most
center portion of the territory, which
consisted of 760 acres. They sent some
of the last rock secured to havo it as
sayed, and the report camo that it con
tained : "Gold, $17 to the ton' ; Biivor.
$3 to tho ton, and copper, 4 per cent."
This is considered a rich find, and may
open up a Klondiko m the Virgiuia

matter to build a short road to the
mines.

SPAIN'S ONLY CHANCE
Autonomy Will Never Satisfy
the Cubans.
WILLING TO PAY AN INDEMNITY.
Spain Must Evacuate the Island at Onco II'
Sho Would Front Uy the I'rcscnt Feel
ings of the Cubans -Interviews With
Leading Cubans In This Country on tho
Present Situation.
New York, Oct. 4. Tho Herald
prints a number of interviews with
leading Cubans here on tho situation in
the island. The Cubans all declare
that autonomy for the islands is out of
tho question, but most of them are in
favor of paying Spain a reasonable in
demnity providing she evacuates the
island at once.
T. Estrada Palma, representative of
the Cuban provisional government,
said : "To the Cuban patriots it makes
little difference whether a Liberal or
Conservative ministry directs affairs in
Spain. A change in government in
Spain does not not alter tho case of tho
Cubans. They aro now moro firmly de
termined than over to push the fight
until tho absolute independence of Cuba
is acknowledged. I believe tho Cubans
are willing to pay a reasonable indem
nity to Spain provided she withdraw
her troops from Cuba before the island
is completely ruined."
Enrique J. do Varona said : "I be
lieve autonomy would complicate,
rather than solve the Cuban situation.
Absolute independence is the aspiration
of the immense majority of the Cuban
peoplo. Cuba needs a definite political
regime. Spanish autonomy would not
give it to tho island. The only practi
cal solution of the Cuban problem is ab
solute independence."
Dr. Henry Lincoln de Zayas says :
"The Cubans aro, and have always been
ready to treat with Spain with a view
to a cession of hostilities, provided the
first condition bo that Spain shall ac
knowledge Cuba's independence."
Colonel F. Lopez de Qncralta, for
merly of the United States army, and
a veteran of tho ten years' war in Cuba,
said : "I would like to seo Cuba freed by
force of arms. But to avoid further
shedding of blood of innocent people, I
would, though painfully, sign and give
my consent to a compensation to Spain
for the sake of getting rid of the Span
ish "
E. Tmjillo. editor of El Porvenir, said :
"Cubans aro fighting for absolute inde
pendence, aud will accept no otker so
lution." Brigadier Eugenio Sanches Agra
monte, surgeon general of tho Cuban
army, said: "Cubans are firmly determ
ined to fight until absolute independence
is accomplished. But a few million
moro or less, provided the sum is rea
sonable, will bo paid by them to Spain
in order to avoid a prolongation of tho
struggle."
Regarding tho plan for tho purchase
of Cuba from the Spanish government
General Emelio Nunez, who for tho
past 10 days has been in consultation
with tho junta leaders in New York,
said: "I can not sue how the plaus for
tho freedom of Cuba on tho basis of a
guarantee to Spain bvthe United States
of an indemuityof OO.COO.OOO in cash
can bo displeasing to any of the parties,
except that tho amount is greatly in ex
cess of true values of relics left by Wey
ler. The United States could afford to
back up tho proposition, because it
would have tho revenue of Cuba to
guaranteo reimbursement and would
gain immediate improvements of its
trado relations. I believe that, stern as
our resolution is never to lay down our
arms to Spain, the majority of our
peoplo arc not so nnwi o as to imagine
it better to light to th" last grasp rather
than cease the struggle on terms so fa
vorable ns aro now possible."
Spain's Si'W Cabinet.
