Most Persons Are Opposed to Giving
It to the Autonomists.
THE BUSINESS MEN’S PLANS.
Annexation to the United States Said to
Be In Contemplation—Guarded Ut
terances of the Usually Sub
servient Havana Press.
Matanzas, Cuba, Oct. 19.—The busi
ness element here, in Havana and else
where seems to have arrived at the con
clusion that the Madrid government
cannot end the war by arranging to
grant autonomy to Cuba, as among the
autonomists who are loyalists there are
not sufficient persons to hold public of
fice; at least that is the claim the con
servative Spaniards make. The latter
express the belief that the autonomists,
even if they were placed in power,
would not be able to preserve peace
and protect life and property from the
lawless elements.
In view of this state of affairs, a
number of important merchants and
sugar planters of Spanish origin, in
conjunction $dth several Cubans of
prominence, have been holding secret
meetings and have been corresponding
with people in various parts of the is
land with the object of ascertaining the
views of the commercial and planting
community in Pinar del Rio, Havana,
Matanzas and Santa Clara as to the fu
ture for Cuba most likely to further
their interests and those of the island
In general. It is expected that the ma
jority of the replies received will be
favorable to advocating the annexation
of Cuba to the United States, as the
Washington government alone, appar
ently, is able to guarantee peace in
Cuba and the protection of life and
property.
• As soon as it is ascertained that the
sentiment of the persons appealed to is
In favor of annexation a committee will
be sent to the United States with in
structions to lay the case of Cuba clear
ly before business men of prominence
in the United States and ask the latter
to unite with the business men of Cuba
in a petition to the Washington gov
ernment, asking the United 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 gov
ernment, to bring about the annexation
of Cuba to the United States.
Sagasta’s Plan Not Well Received.
The plan of Senor Sagasta, the new
Spanish minister, to give autonomy to
Cuba, far from giving satisfaction here,
has greatly increased the feeling of
discontent existing. The Autonomist
party, it is pointed out, exists only in
name, the actual majority of the Au
tonomists being in the insurgent rank?
and, with the exception possibly of Se
nor Montoro and a few other prominent
Autonomists, the masses of that party
are in sympathy with the insurgents.
Consequently, it will be seen, the Span
ish government, which has consulted
Senor Montoro on the subject, is find
ing great difficulty in obtaining ever,
the suggestion of names of Autonomists
to fill offices under an autonomist form
of government. It would be imprudent,
it is said, to give such, offices to the
party known as Reformists, as the
more influential Spaniards hate them,
and the adoption of such a policy would
possibly mean rioting and even worse.
Besides the masses of. the resident
Spaniards are strongly antiauion,:
mists, and there is little or no prospect
of making them change their minds.
Recognizing the difficulty of the task
before Senor Sagasta, it is not aston
ishing that the business community in
Cuba is exchanging views on the sub
ject of annexation to the United Slates,
especially as a general uprising of the
Spanish elements is feared if the Span
ish government persists in pushing itr
autonomist policy, business men be
lieving that autonomy is only the first
step toward independence in Cuba, and
the feeling of the commercial classes
being that annexation to the United
States and the consequent safeguards
to life and property are far preferable to
the establishment of a new republic in
Cuba.
Newspapers at Variance.
Among the newspapers here there is
considerable difference of opinion as to
the policy which should be adopted by
Spain toward Cuba. The Diario de la
Marina, in an editorial just published,
sustained the policy of autonomy and
credited Senor Sagasta with inaugu
rating it, while urging the Reformist
party to adopt it.
El Pais, organ of the Autonomist
party, in reply held that the autono
mist policy favored by Senor Sagasta
was what the Autonomists in Cuba had
been advocating for the last 19 years,
and that, therefore, the premier could
not be credited with inaugurating it.
At the same time El Pais intimated
that Senor Sagasta was really only fol
lowing in this connection the policy
adopted by the late Premier Canovas
del Castillo, and that the Cubans were,
therefore, more indebted to Castillo
than to Sagasta in this matter.
La Lucha, in an editorial headed
“Autonomy For the Autonomists,”
claimed that no party had more right
to inaugurate autonomy than the Au
tonomists themselves, who had advo
cated and defended the policy of au
tonomy for the past 19 years and who
had remained firm to their convictions
in spite of everything, preferring com
plete disappearance to supporting the
insurgents if the latter triumphed. At
the same time La Lucha protested
against the Reformists being allowed
to take a hand in the Autonomist gov
ernment of Cuba, insisting that the
loyal Autonomists and Conservatives
should alone have the honor, adding:
“In Cuba there exists in reality only
two parties, the Autonomists and the
Conservatives. The latter, represent
ing the wealth of the country more
than they represent a political party
and also representing the sovereignty
of Spain, will assist the Spanish govern
ment in every way to pacify the is
land and are desirous of enabling the
government at Madrid to proclaim to
the world the sovereignty of Spain.
If Cuba does not depend on bayonets
alone, but upon the 300,000 Spanish resi
dents of Cuba wim represent the wealth
of that island, tt^y are also desirous of
being able to point to the fact that the
Autonomists are able to govern the is
land, and that Spain's army and navy
are only auxiliaries to that government
for the purpose of preserving order and
maintaining the tranquillity of the is
land.”
T,a I.uelm's Suggestion.
Continuing, however, La Lucha inti
mates that the government may bring
about a change of sentiment in Cuba
which will cause the influential masses
to look toward the United States for
annexation as being the only really
practical solution of the Cuban ques
tion.
A number of interviews with promi
nent Cubans of New York have receni
ly been reproduced by L «Lueha, and,
although they did not o r^in anything
radically new, they were nevertheless
read with great eagerness and were
hotly discussed in political circles, 'n
the coffee houses, at private meetings,
etc.
The conservatives are well aware
that the insurgents will not accept au
tonomy as the twsis of peace, and they
also claim it is absurd for the govern
ment at Madrid even to, suggest the
establishment of an autonomous form
of government before the rebellion is
suppressed by force of arms. Indeed,
even the Autonomists themselves al
though pretending to be Indifferent,
have been heard to remark that they
were not favorable to the idea of at*
tempting to impose autonomy upon the
insurgents because the leaders of the
latter, on account of their great influ
ence among the Cubans, are certain
eventually to wipe out the power and
Influence of the Autonomists and es
tablish sooner or later a government
entirely upon the insurgent lines.
The Reformists still claim to believe
that the war will soon be ended and
that all will be made serene by the
Spanish government in due course of
time through a system of reform, but
the Reformists do not represent the
wealth and intelligence of Cuba. They
are generally only ambitious men or of
fice seekers.
The city of Bayamo, one of the most
important in the province of Santiago
de Cuba, has been quietly abandoned
recently, its inhabitants moving, as a
rule, to Veguitas, fearing a repetition
at Bayamo of the insurgent raid upon
Victoria de las Tunas.
THE SHAW CASE.
Lawyer Fer the Accnsed Man Ejected
Front the Mayor’s Office.
Camden, N. J., Oct. 19.—There was
an exciting scene in Mayor Westcotl’s
office today which culminated in Law
yer Harry S. Scovel, attorney for Eli
Shaw, the accused murderer, being
forcibly ejected from the office by two
policemen. Subpoenas had been issued
on Saturday for the appearance of 50
persons today at the mayor’s office for
examination relative to their knowl
edge of the movements of Eli Shaw,
who is charged with the murder of his
mother and grandmother.
It was generally understood that it
was to be a public hearing, and Lawyer
Scovel was present to look after the
interests of Shaw.
Prosecutor Jenkins and Mayor West
cott, however, informed Scovel that
there was to be no formal hearing and
that the witnesses had been called for
an informal and private examination
by the prosecution.
Scovel contended that, as the wit
nesses had been summoned by official
subpcenas, the hearing must necessa
rily be formal and that, as the defend
ant’s counselor and adviser, he had a
right to hear the evidence presented.
Heated discussion followed. Scovel
refused to leave the room and did not
do so until two policemen under in
structions from the chief of police forced
him out of the floor. .The examination
of the witnesses was then proceeded
with in private before Mayor West
cott, the questioning being done by
Prosecutor Jenkins and Assistant Pros
ecutor Carson. In the course of the pro
ceedings Horace Nixon, a young law
yer, who claimed to be counsel for some
of the witnesses, insisted that he had a
right to interrogate them. Refusing to
desist from his questioning, Nixon, too,
was ejected*
Five of the witnesses, by instruction
from counsel, refused to give any in
formation and were placed under $1,
000 bail each for their further appear
ance.

THE LATE EDITOR DANA
A Sketch of His Life and Char
acter.
EI8 SOCIALISM EXPERIMENT. *
Connection With the Tribune—Hi9 Service
rn the War—Purchase of the Sun—His
Capacity For Work—Private Life auci
Literary Work—The “Grand Old Man”
of Journalism.
The thousands of people who daily cross
City Hall park in Xew York city used to
see sitting near a window in the northwest
corner of The Sun building a venerable
figure intent upon manuscript or printed
matter. The profile revealed a high fore
head and a bald outline of symmetric head
with a brain to fit it. arched brows, gold
spectacles, a forceful nose, a full and rag
ged mustache and beard led up to by a suit
of simple and conventional apparel. That
was the late Charles A. Dana, the gifted
editor of the Xew York Sun, “the grand
old man’’ of journalism, a man by native
ability and acquired endowments the best
equipped for successful newspaper work in
the country.
Charles Anderson Dana was about 5
feet 9 inches high and weighed nearly 200
pounds. His sanctum was a simple and
unobtrusive room about 12 by 14 feet and
devoid of frills. In this workshop the
greatest of American journalists sat al
most every day in the year when he was
not traveling in Europe. He was born in
Hinsdale, X. H., Aug. 8, 1819. As a boy
in this rocky and desolate town it seemed
to those who knew him that he was phys
ically of such structure as made the suc
cessful farmer. The clergymen and the
schoolteacher recognized, however, early
in his boyhood days that his physical
equipment was well matched by his intel
lectual. He was one of those boys of
whom it sometimes is said that learning
is not a study or a task, but a delight for
them. He had scarcely any need to go to
saw Horace Greeley ami proposed that, h
be given the post of foreign correspondent
of Tho Tribune. Patting him on tho
shoulder in his affectionate way Greeley
said:
“Dana, that’s no use. You don’t know
anything about European matters. You
would have to get your education before
your correspondence was worth your ex
penses. ”
"Then,’’said Mr. Dana, in an interview
not long before his death, “ I asked him
how much he would pay me for a letter a
week, and he said $10. I went across and
wrote ono letter a week for Tho Tribune
for $10, one to McMlchael’s Philadelphia
North American Review for $10, ono to
The Commercial Advertiser for $10, and
one to The Harbinger and Tho Chronotype
for $5 a week each. That gave me $ 10 a
week for flvo letters until Tho Chronotype
went up, and then 1 had $35. On tills I
lived in Europe eight, months, went every
where, saw plenty of revolutions, support
ed myself there and my family in New
York and came home only $03 out for the
whole trip.”
He returned to The Tribune on a salary
of $25 a week, which was acceptable until
another paper offered him $100 a week.
He went to Tho Tribune people and told
them that he could not afford to stay at
$25. They reminded him that Mr. Greeley
drew- only $50, and it clearly would not do
to give him more than his chief. But they
gave him $50, tho same as Horace had, and
that was the highest salary he ever received
there.
Mr. Dana drew to Tho Tribuno some of
the ablest writers and thinkers of the
time, and he mado the paper tho gospel of
the thinking, conservative and cultivated
elements in the community. The elder
Bennett discovered that the young manag
ing editor of The Tribune had quite os
keen “a nose for news” as ho himself pos
sessed and as good a judgment of tho rela
tive importance of news.
Mr. Dana’s connection with The Tribune
gave him an intimate acquaintance with
most of the great men of the Republican
party, and when in 1861, owing to a dis
agreement with Horace Greeley respecting
the attitude of The Tribune upon tho con
duct of the war, he retired he was esteemed
as one of the influential younger men of
the party. Edwin M. Stanton, the secre
tary of war, who knew Mr. Dana well,
THE LATE CHARLES ANDERSON DANA.
college. His mind was of that peculiar
constitution sometimes discovered which I
suggests that there is no need of mental
discipline. The very qualities which a col
lege curriculum arc supposed to develop he
possessed by native gift. lie took to the
classics before he was 10 years of age.
When he was 10. ho entered Harvard col
lege and immediately gave evidence that
ho possessed unusual mental gifts. But
ho gave up his college course during his
junior year. Whether it was overuse of
his eyes or some neglect, a functional dis
turbance which threatened to become or
ganic- compelled him to abandon his books.
Soon after Mr. Dana went to Buffalo, 1
then a thriving village, where, with a rel
ative, ho sold goods over the counter. A
short experience was sufficient to satisfy
him that his calling was not in trade.
Books, observation, association with men
who knew much about many things, had
far more fascination for this lad than did
tho drudgery of barter or the chink of sil
ver over counter.
He became fascinated with the problems
of socialism as they were discussed in his
early youth, .and he gladly joined that
famous but wholly Impossible socialistic
community called Brook Farm, which was
established in what was then the town of
Roxbury, Mass. Here Mr. Dana, with
Nathaniel Hawthorne and Margaret Ful
ler and George Ripley and George William
Curtis and others who were of literary
fame or promise, did his share of menial
work with cheerfulness and held his own
In tho literary and philosophical discus
slons which wero carried on by those
tKThkers. Dana was one of the first to
realize that tho experiment was, if not ab
surd, at least bound to be a failure. He
lived long enough to see all of his associ
ates in that experiment die and every one
of them convinced that the scheme was
Utopian.
When Mr. Dana abandoned socialism, ht
decided to become nil active, busy man oi
affairs and to win his way. as ho believed
every man must with civilization what
it is, by his own unaided efforts. He had
been one of tho editors of a little weekly
paper callod Tho Harbinger,,which advo
oated the socialistic idea, and this associa
tion suggested to him that journalism was
his career. He was fascinated with the
work even then, although at that time lie
had not such an undorstandiiig of the
news features as lie came later to possess.
Anxious to put himself in touch with the
world and to go to the other extreme from
that represented by the provincialism ol
Brook Farm, Mr. Dana went to Europe.
f This was in 1848, at the time of the
fetich revolution, and before Boins ht
offered him the post of assistant secretary
of war, and he undertook these labors with
extraordinary energy. Much of tho time
he was with General Grant in the west.
His executive capacity was never more su
perbly revealed than when, as the repre
sentative of t ho war department, he was
engaged in forwarding Grant’s gigantic
military schemes.
After the war Mr. Dana might have ac
cepted several offers to re-enter business
life, but the fascinations of journalism
caused him to decline every proposition of
that sort made to him. A company was
organized to create and publish a great
Republican newspaper in Chicago, and
Mr. Dana was offered the editorship, and
a small interest in it was given to him.
At that time, however, Chicago was not
the great metropolitan city that it is to
day, and Mr. Dana found difficulties of
various sorts in establishing the paper.
He sold out his interest, receiving therefor
some 87.000, and that was tho first time in
his life that he found himself possessed of
any considerable sum of money. A friend
advised him to invest it in a house in New
York, which he did, and others of his old
time Republican friends, notably Colonel
Fred A. Colliding, brother of Roscoo
Colliding, subscribed a sum sufficient to
buy for Mr. Dana tho New York Sun,
which was to be published as a low priced
Republican newspaper.
Mr. Dana took charge on the 1st of Jan
uary, 18(38, flic paper then having about
40,000 circulation, and his conspicuous
career began with that issue of the paper.
He called about him a competent staff,
and in less than two years had in many
respects revolutionized journalistic meth
ods. He sought for news where other edi
tors had ignored, and aimed to have it
presented so that tho mcro reading would
bo interesting and entertaining. His idea
was that a fact of itself of no particular
consequence might nevertheless in the tell
ing of it be made as interesting ns more
important news. Tho Sun gained tho rep
utation of being not only tho most enre
fully edited, but the best w-ritten, paper in
New York, and Rome of the sketches and
reports that have appeared in its columns
have been regarded as equal to the work
of tho most famous writers.
Under Mr. Dana’s management tho pa
per secured at one time as high a circula
tion as 160,000 and its Sunday edition oven
more than that. Mr. Dana's idea was that
the editorial page in tho paper should be
made fully as attractive as tho news pages
and while some of the comments—some of
those fantastic and seemingly ridiculous
editorial arti.'los which have appeared from
tune to tiu.a aeon the editorial uiuro—have
soWned to violate nil the traditions of jour
nalism, yet they were written and printed
for the purpose of compelling the readers
of the paper to talk about the editorial
page. Mr. Dana's extraordinary learning
—for he has boon a student and Investi
gator all his days—enabled him to detect
errors In the writings of his associates, so
that The Sun under Ids nctivo manage
ment seldom was historically or scientific
ally inaccurate.
Mr. Dana was a hard worker. Mental
application was a delight to him. Ho
learned botany while riding to and from
his office. In his spare moments he mas
tered the Icelandic language. Ife know
Dante probably bettor than any other
American in New York, so that when he
had his interview with thy pope he re
sponded in a quotation from Dante to an
other which the pope had made to him.
Spanish literature delighted him, and ho
mastered it at odd moments. lie could
speak French with the Parisian accent,
German with the accent of Berlin, and he
conversed in Russian if required.
A learned horticulturist, the gardens of
his summer place wore filled with choice
flowers, and for trees he had an affection
which led him to know thorn all and to
raise upon his islamyvtreat in Long Is
land sound every variety of fir tree capable
of living in a temperate climate.
He liked good horses, and, he kept his
health, he thought, by driving a high spir
ited team daily between his country' place
and the railway station. Mr. Dana was
fond of good cooking, and ho knew wines
like a connoisseur, although sparing in
tho use of them. Ho was an excellent
critic of paintings, and in his later years
became fascinated over ceramics and choice
pottery, the history of which he knew as
though Ids life had been devoted to the
study of it.
Mr. Dana probably got more rational
enjoyment out of life, moro honorable and
exquisite delight in learning and in nature
and art-, than any' other man of his tiino.
He was not fond of the mediocre either In
Inanimate objects or among men. For a
mediocre reporter he had small toleration,
but he was enthusiastic over a brilliant re
porter or writer, although rather careful
not to let the young man know it.
He was 50 years of age before he began,
of his own experience, to know the luxury
of wealth. lie would not have made a
great money maker, since he cared but lit
tle for money excepting as it enabled him
to gratify his cultivated desires. Some
times he was thought to be foolish in his
expenditures, for if a thing suited him he
took it, even though the price was ex
orbitant. On the other hand, if lie was
not satisfied he would not buy, no matter
how great the reduction in price.
The royalties on his book of household
poetry and upon Appleton’s cyclopedia
brought him a generous income, although
this money canto to him mostly after he
became editor of The Sun. In his later
years Mr. Dana received a salary of $50, -
000 a year from The Sun and handsome
dividends upon the stock, a majority of
which he controlled, despite all reports to
tne contrary.
Those who knew Mr. Dana Well have
always felt that the single limitation of
his character was that he could not always
control his prejudices. He was as stanch
and true as steel to his friends, even
though others accused some of them of
abusing the friendship, and he was also
persistent, vehement and, his enemies used
to say, malicious in his antagonism.
In his private life Mr. Dana was one of
the most charming of men to meet. He
would have made a flno orator had he
chosen to speak very much. He loved fun
and reveled in humorous anecdotes, and
when he had passed threescore and ten and
was asked how he kept himself so young
he replied that he did it by keeping up his
love of fun.
Not long before Mr. Dana’s death a re
porter of The Evening Sun who had recent
ly joined the staff was coming down town
in an elevated railway car one morning. An
elderly gentleman with a gray beard and
spectacles came into the car, and, sitting
down beside the reporter, accidentally
leaned oil him as he was reading his news
paper. Flattering himself somewhat on
his powers of sizing up his man, the re
porter addressed the stranger in tones of
freezing politeness with:
“Have you had your breakfast, sir?”
“ Yes, ” replied the stranger blandly.
“Well, sir, I should feel much obliged if
you would lean on it rather than on me. ”
With this somewhat crushing annihila
tion the reporter again settled himself to
his newspaper, and half an hour afterward
was gleefully telling his colleagues in The
Evening Sun office the incident when the
gentleman who figured as the other party
entered the room. He immediately told
his companions of the fact, but found the
laughter gone out of them.
“Do you know who that is?” said one.
“That is Charles A. Dana, editor of The
Sun.”
Mr. Dana was never in society, using
the common meaning to that term. Not a
single member of the Four Hundred in
New York would admit that Mr. Dana
had such a thing as a social position.
Probably ho never wanted it. Although
his learning and ability were admired by
the high society leaders, or such of them
ns had sense enough to appreciate them
they probably drew a line which passed
between him and themselves. Neither was
Mr. Dana a member of any club, and this
likewise was probably according to his
taste. He had a handsome summer home
on Long Island, and he spent his money
liberally for things that pleased him
Mr. Dana was not a hard taskmaster.
Under him The Sun men were not over
worked, and they were well paid, but al
though usually courteous to his subordi
nates he was often hasty in forming an
