The Situation in Cuba.

I the genera] spirit of unrest
which seems to prevail in Cuba against
control by our military forces there
I to be regarded by our people
in a spirit of condemnation. The first
* i^ h * •■• Which the Cuban has
.ed to him dawned in the
v-huh the Ul tailors
won In their victory over the Qpan
- in the offing of the Bay of Baa
and by soldi, rs of the republic
mt . ml San Juan. The re
ol the contact between the sol
of the Ul es and th
as well as that between the
natives of the two countries, afforded
a lesson iv martial performances which
was probably as startling to the Cuban
as it was to the Spaniard himself.
Now we have reached a point where
a proper rule in Cuba must be exer
cised. Fresh propositions are present
ed to our people in this connection. If
we are to live up to the suggestion
made in our declaration of war, that
annexation was not a factor, but that
it was the purpose of this government
to so conduct our. war of interposition
between Cuba and Spain that the
Cubans should be permitted, when the
Spanish power had been overthrown,
to exercise their own judgment as to the
proper form of conducting their own
affairs, it is clearly our duty to insti
tute a supervision over that people to
this end. A constabulary is proposed
thoroughly military in all Its bearings
and relations. This will be a hard
yoke for the Cubans to bear. But
meanwhile we find that a commission
is coming forward from the lsiand to
treat with the powers at Washington,
and there is every reason to believe
that it will receive proper recogni
tion. A civil guard, however, would
seem to be indispensable in that island
during the pendency of issues that
must necessarily be settled through
diplomacy.
One great difficulty existing in thil
connection is the unfamiliarity of the
Cuban with our language, with our
purposes and with our form of govern
ment. It is not to be doubted that our
military forces in Cuba have observed
the same degree of respect to a fallen
foe as was evinced by our naval com
manders at the time Cervera's fleet
went to the bottom of the Caribbean
sea. As an illustration of this the
statement is made that at the funeral
of <;*-n. Vara del Rey, who was killed
at El Caney, the soldiers of the United
States accorded to him the honors of
war by providing a marching escort
and a military band, which played a
dead march. The Cubans could not un
derstand this tribute and immediately
seized upon It as an evidence of the
existence of a sympathy on the part
of the United States with Spain as
against themselves. Thus it will be
Keen to what degree of degradation
this people have been driven, namely,
that they cannot appreciate the cour
tesies prevailing in a civilized world.
There are many perplexities await
ing this administration in dealing with
this entire Spanish-American adjust
ment of rights and wrongs. The issue
i.s syuarely before the country. Patriot
ism demands that if there have been
wrong- they must be righted, and that
no matter how far the policy of the
government with respect to dealing
with all foreign issues is concerned,
the responsibility shall repose in the
household of the promoters of the un
democratic ideas which have found sr,
strong a foothold in the economic- pol
icy of the country.

METROPOLITAN.
In the bill presented at the Metro Doll tar*
yesferday there waa included all that there ia
of value to the taste of today.
The "Woodward stock company is a good
thing. It represents a standard drama of un
doubted merit in a most capable manner, and
It offers at the same time a vaudeville enter
tainment that would alone be worth the
seeing. The programme contrasts the clever
est comedy and variety features with some
thing of the best i n Eta g e story telling.
Tbe bill of the play is "Men and Women."
It is efficiently piayed. One wonders at the
rapidity of life at this end of the century
in watching the pfece. We wonder if it is
possible that, in the few years that have gone
since that time in the last decade when
Belasco and De Mill© ware the up-to-date
stage writers, we have lived so fast that we
go back with some surprise to the fact that
only a few years ago "moxie" was slang
for the sort of cheek that is now indicated
by something very different. Even the social
portrayal belongs to the past, without being
old enough to be classic. Eut De Mille was a
master story- writer, and this end of the cen
tury has discovered no stage master equal to
Belasco. The play is full of heart interest.
There is no flagging to the interest of feel
ing in what is going on during the develop
ment of the story. The things that were sug
: Rested to the dramatist by the work of the
I bank wreckers of the early 'SO's, and the mix-
Ins up of heart and affection in their work
is consummately depicted by tha stage writ
ers, and the feelings of men and women, as
th<v were wrought up ten years ago and
i might have been shown at any time, were
carefully, even cleverly, depicted yesterday.
Mr. Linden Is a very capable Israel Cohen.
Frederick Montague was an artistically per
fect Prescott, and Da Witt Clinton— there is
something familiar in that name — was a
manly Seabury. Mr. Greene was the Stead
man of the cast, and proved himself a most
efficient actor. Perhaps the best small bit
of reserved character acting in the cast was
that given by Mr. Enos as Gov. Rodman.
Mi.s Creighton is a gifted actress, with flne
presence and capacity for emotional work,
and Miss McCauley was a charming Dora
Prescott. The piece was handsomely staged,
and the rest of the company quite up to the
requirements of the cast. The play was
dressed quite perfectly.
The division of the performance by the In
troduction of vaudeville attractions in the
lieu of the usual entr'acte will be appre
ciated by people who want to take their own
time for their amusements. The good things
are scattered through the programme be
tween the acts. The hit of the programme
was made yesterday by the Windom quintette.
Mr. Wlndom's songs may be foundf fault
with, but he knows how to handle a musical
feature. The work of the quintette is clever
and elicited unqualified approbation. Bes.ie
Bonehlll is clever, and she does come new
songs that are very fetching. There Is a mu
sical act by Messrs. S-eley and West that
includi _ good music and is very funny. The
performance Is altogether commendable. It
offers every feature cf good drama and the
best of vaudeville. The engagement was
opened yesterday afternoon by an innovation
at the Metropolitan in the presentation of a
Sunday matinee, _nd that, as well as the
evening performance, was very largely at
tended. The same bill all the week.
GRAND.
Even Belle Archer, with her catchy ways
and the little things that count in the house,
would not succeed ln making Iloyt's "A C n
tented Woman" a success until it had beeu
changed from what it was when the po pie
of St. Paul first saw it three years ago. lt
was not at that time funny. It was Hoytiin
ln construction, but it had evidently been
written about the bite Caro-lne Ml»k--1, and it
was not as funny as lt should have been.
When it was presented at the Grand last
night it was a very different affair. It was
screamingly funny. Trom the going up of
the curtain to the going down of the aame
tliere was scarcely a break ln the la
The lines were practically all new, the situa
tions were very much the same, but they
wero brought up-to-date by the intermingling
of now theories 1n politics.
"A Contented Woman" is a satire and is
sharp enough ln its humor to make some
people think that perhaps it goes tco far. It
was that way originally, but it is a htalthy
proposition lv theatricals, for it attacks a
very weak spot in the social schr-iu >. Dl
■ 1 of much of its sharpness by the de
velopments of the last few years it ls in
conceivably funny. ;;nd there is nothing on
the stage that is &o essentially American in
Its humor.
Mr. Hoyt has evidently put s >nic work in
on the play since it was first seen hore three
years ago. The lines are brighter, and tn. re
is more fun ln the situations— at lea*t there
is more fun got out of the same sltuat'ons by
the changing of the lims.
'1 h> re was a tremendous houso at the Grand
last night to see the i reduction, and there
was uproarious laughter all the w.y ur ugh
tho play. The laughter was due. The skit.
dealing with practical politics on au exag
gerated scale, appealed to everybody, and the
actor, were all that thoy shouid te. The
company presenting the piece is beyond criti
cism.
.Mlss Archer may have ro especial histrionic
gifts, but she e-._n put MP audience mere near

is most cleverly suppt.rted. Miss R v

rand, tbe Lauuchlny, of the Bat

ter's Former Congressman Ste
phenson Ia Host to a Xamher ot
Prominent Badger State People.
The special train bearing the Wis
consin battleship ptirty to San Fran
cisco arrived in this city at 6 o'clock
yesterday morning. Very few of the
seventy passengers were astir at that j
hour, but they rose about an hour later,
and. after breakfasting, many of them '■
sitirted for a tour of the city. There i
wns no one at the depot to welcome j
them, so they had to find their way
abbot as best they could, but, as they
had seven hours to roam abroad, they
had ample time to see the town. A
number of them continued on to Min
neapolis, where they joined the party
in the afternoon.
Miss Elizabeth. Stephenson, the young i
lady who is to break a bottle of chain- j
pagne over tbe bow of the battleship j
as it glides into the water, was one of |
the earliest to abandon the train and
start on a sight-seeing tour of St. FfeuiL '
Miss Stephenson, though srtill in her
'teens, is a great traveler. She has just
I returned from a tour of Europe, and
she was anxious to visit all the inter
esting points about this city. She ar.d
ncr cousin, Miss Hattie Stephenson,
and other members of the family went
ti.way together and did not return to
the train until it was nearly time for
it to leave.
Miss Stephenson is a handsome
blende and beans her present honors
modestly. Though the central figure
in the party, she is perfectly self-pos
i sessed and apparently unconscious of
j the interest she arouses. She was at
t tired yesterday in a traveling gown of
brown, and gray fedora hat. Miss
j Stephenson's father, former Congress
' man Isaac Stephenson, who is the host
j on this occasion, remained in the train
| while it was at St. Paul. Mr. Ste_*-he_t-
I son has the honor of bearing most of j
j the expense of the christening. The !
! suae of Wisconsin, through the neg
| leet of the legis*t_ture. did not ap
j prcpriate money for the ceremony, and,
i wben Miss Stephenson was named as
the young lady to perform it, he gen
erously offered to foot the bill. Forty
members of the party are his personal
guests.
Senator John L. Mitchell and ex-Sen
ator Sawyer are in the paxty_ which in-
I eludes Lieut. Gov. Baensch and the
! members of the governor's staff. Sena
| tor Mitchell will deliver a s.peech in re
; sponse to the toast of the battleship,
! and Lieut. Gov. Baensch will speak for
| th** state of Wisconsin.
The most interesting object on the
train is the bottle of champagne with
. which the Wisconsin is to be christen
ed. It is an ordinary bottle of extra
dry, but it is decorated with tri-colors
j and gilt Inscriptions, and a network
j of gold wire surrounds it. The precious
j bottle reposes in a handsome silk-lined
j leather cause. Thore are two duplicate
bottles— one to be drunk and one to
j be kept by Miss Stephenson as a sou
. venir of the occasion.
The train is certainly the handsomest
j that ever started for the coast. It is
t made up of six cars, and from observa
tion car to diner it is an unbroken sue-
I cession of elegance and comfort. The
decorations are simple, but rich ln ef
fect, and the compartment cars are
marveis of ingenuity. Each compart
ment car contains a bath room with
onyx tub and trimming.. The observa
tion car laclfic is the finest specimen
j of work ever made by the Pullman
] company. It is a drawing room on
> wheels. E-aeh car was decorated yes
. tea-day with smiir.x. which was fes
d along the borders and windows,
j and the choicest specimens of chrys
anthemums were placed in corners and
j on every ta/ble in the dining room. The
| diner was further decorated with
! American flags, and the effect of the
| whole was wry beautiful.
At every other stop which the train
! will make the citizens will accord the
tarty a reception and. entertain them
as far as limited time will permit. They
will arrive in San Francisco Friday.
UPRISING AT MATANZAS.

HAVANA, Nov. 20.— Another upris

KEELYS SECRET.
Open Question as to "Whether or
Ifot It Died WltU Him.
PHTLADELPHIA, Nov. 20.— 1t ls still
an open question w r hether or not any
secret which he may have possessed
died with inventor Keely. "When the
news reached the members of the com
pany which was interested in his in
ventions it caused general consterna
tion. Had the precious secret which
the old man. had always guarded with
such jealous care died with him? Had
the hundreds of thousands of dollars
which have been given to him to aid
him In the development of his mysteri
ous motor been expended in vain? Was
there any one -who could essay the
task of finishing the work Keely had
begun? These were questions more
easily asked than answered.
Charles B. Collier, who until the day
of Mr. Keely's death had been his le
gal adviser for many years, Baid to
day that he was not prepared to say
anything regarding the selection of
any one to continue Mr. Keely's ex
periments. He stated, however, that
immediately before Mr. Keely was
taken ill arrangements had been com
pleted for taking out patents on the
motor. Ail the necessary information
is available, and he said the patents
will probably be applied for in the
course of the next few months.
There is one man in Philadelphia,
however, whose views respiting Keely
and his inventions possess especial in
terest because of his association with
Keely at the time he discovered what
he was pleased to call a "new force."
This man is Bennett C. "Wilson, who
was not only Keely's employer at the
time that the famous discovery was
announced, but was all&o his first finan
cial backer, a distinction that cost him
$30,000 to attain.
When Mr. Wilson was asked whether
he believed that Keely's discovery was
all that the inventor claimed it to be,
he said:
"In one respect it is all that Keely
believed it to be. He did really discover
a new and wonderful natural force.
But that is all. He was absolute*..- in
capable of developing it in a manner
that would give it practical utility. In
his hands it was nothing more than a
mere plaything, an object for show
purpose...
"Convinced that he could not prop
erly develop it himself, he would not
shr.re his secret with others so long
as he was able to make lt yield him
a livelihood.
"Several years ago I witnessed one
of his exhibitions of the motor at his
laboratory. The machine he showed
was similar to the one he had in 1873.
He had made no advance on his early
development of the original Idea. Ills
pretended theory that musical vrbra
tlon Is a factor in the development of
the mysterious force is utterly absurd,
and most of the appliances which had
a place irr his laboratory were only de
signed for thep urpose of mystifying
persons who, like myself, placed their,
fortunes at his disposal.
"I bei.eve, however, that lf he had
confided his ideas to some man like
Edison, who was capable of developing
them in a practical manner, the world
would be the better for the action and
men would not today be lamenting the
lofs to science of a valuable secret that
was too carefully kept."
These views are shared by Clarence
B. Moore, 1*321 Locust street, who sev
eral years ago had recourse to litiga
tion in order to restrain Mrs. Bloom
field Moore, a relative, from continuing
to advance sums to Mr. Keely to aid
him in his experiments.
"ALICE THE^ SAILOR-"
Girl Who Has Koamed the Sea for
Years Bnck in >"ew York.
NKW YORK, Nov. 20.— One of the
last passengers to land from the second
cabin of the American liner Paris was
a rosy-cheeked young woman clad in
a tailor-made gown. A small turban
hat crowned her short tresses, and
there was an anxious look in the big
brown eyes as she eagerly scanned the
faces of those on the pier.
She was Miss Amelia Vella, other
wise Alice Amelia McKinley, but best
known aa "Alice the Sailor," an Amer
ican t-.hi, who has beea rooming about
the world in boy's dress for five yeais,
and most of the time doing a man's
work on English transports and col
liers.
On landing she had expected to be
met by an official from the Young
Women's Christian union, but no of
ficial appeared, and as the girl eeXbtr
had little money she was sent to tha
barge office, and with the in.migraai:ts
thei-e went to Ellis island.
Alice was born ln Chicago seventeen
years ago, and was twelve years old
when she began her sailor life. With
out fear of detection she worked her
way to England on a freighter. There
she assumed the name of David Mc-
Kinley. In Cardiff it struck her as a
good idea to try the navy, and as she
made up well as a boy she applied to
Recruiting Sergeant H. Guy, of thti
royal marine artillery. But she had
not reckon; cl on the physical examina
tion, and when told to remove her
Jacket she ran out of the recruiting
office.
Afterward she shipped as sailor on
the British collier Blenavon and help
ed to coal the British warships Reso
lute, Repulse and Portland. On the
Blenavon she went to Caraglio, in Sar
dinia, ar.d during the Spartish-Air.. --
toaa war the collier steamed from .here
to Las Pal mas with a cargo of coal
for the Spanish fleet.
There the girl' sailor went ashore
and was arretted as an American spy.
Her sex was discovered and she was
to London, where the American
consul refused to help her because of
her long absence from America. Her
case was taken up by the London
papers and money enough raised
to pay her way home.

factory In Volume.
The following summary of trade conditions
in St Paul during the past week is supplied
ny the leading merchants representative of
the different branches mentioned:
DRY GOODS.
This week's trade showed a marked in
crease over last. Most of the sales made now
are sorting up. Collections continue to be
reasonably satisfactory. This month will
show a large increase over the corresponding
month of last year. Agents made price on
Fruits end Lonsdales at sVic. Prices on all
other lines of dry goods remain firm. Sales
men are sending in good orders for immediate
delivery, while spring orders are far in ad
vance of expectations.
• • •
GROCERIES.
There has been no particular change In the
grocery market the past week, save the ad
vance in refined sugars, as noted last week
to the effect that, an advance would occur in
the near future, and it came to the tune of
Vxc per lb. Raw sugar, both foreign and do
me-stic, remains very strong, and it w-Mild
not be surprising to note a still further ad
vance. Trade for the past week has been
fairly active and collections good. Farmers
have bad elegant weather for threshing, and
receipts of wheat indicate that they did »iot
lose the opportunity. The Jobbers look for
ward to a good, steady trade until the holi
day season has passed.
• * *
DRUGS. PAINTS, OIL, ETC.
The drug market continues active and the
volume of business unusually large. There
are few changes ln prices during the week
past. Collections are good, and the outlook
excellent. The formation of organized so
cieties of retail druggists throughout the coun
try continues and the manufacturers and
jobbers are in accord with this movement.
The advance ln quinine by American manu
facturers and the refusal of Importers to con
tract for further supplies at old price looks.
It is considered, to further advances. It la
also thought that opium and morphine may
be advanced.
• • »
BOOTS AND SHOES.
The continued good weather in the North
west has had its effect upon tho boot and
shoe trade, in that there is some deferment
in orders which usually wait upon the ad
vent of the colder and stormier season. The
marketing cf wheat ls going on, with th*
result that more money is getting into tho
hands of farmers, thereby enabling them to
square accounts with the country merchants.
Tho effect Is becoming apparent ln the im
provement of collections, which seem, to
have been more marked in certain directions
than in the preceding months ot the autumn
or in the first week of the present monUi.
The general condition of the trade, both
with rospect to sales and collections, is re
ported to be quite satisfactory.
• • •
FURS. CAPS, GLOVES. ETC.
The trade for the week in all lines ot
fur goods, ls reported as quite active, and
large numbers of mail orders have been re
ceived. The fact Indicates a liberal circula
tion of money and a disposition on the part
Of the people to provide for themselves not
only necessaries but luxuries In the.so lines.
Tho collections are said by the represi nia
tives of the larger houses to havo been thus
far this month more liberal than during „ny
previous Nove-miu-r in the history <>f the St
Paul trade.
• • •
IRON AND HARDWARE.
There are no changes to note In the Iron
market this week. Price, remain firm, and
tha volume of business ls fair. Tho demand
from lumber points has boon good, hut the
trad, ln North Dakota and Northern Min
nesota has been very light Prices ln all
lines remain unchanged.
CHICAGO IN COMMISSION.
The War V«*i*t*el Has Been Rebuilt
and Is Ready for Sea.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 20.—
Complete arrangements have been
made to put the cruiser . Chicago in
commission at New York on Dec. 1.
Her complement of officers was an
nounced today. The list includes al
most entirely the officers who have
served on the Vermont and at the New
York navy yard in connection with the
repair and outfitting of the Chicago.
Capt. P. H. Cooper, late superintend
ent of the naval academy, will havo
command, and Lieut. Charles Colohan
will be executive and Lieut. W. D. Hose
navigating officer. The Chcago waa
built at the Roach shipyard in Ches
ter, and is one of the pioneers of th«
rtw ravy.
She has been out of commission for
nearly three years, during which time
she has undergone almost a complete
transformation, with the result that
she is now one of the most formidulile
vessels of the American navy. Her
speed has been materially increased
and her armor and armament greatly
strengthened.
Although not settled, lt ts possible
that she may be attached to the fleet
which Admiral Schley is to take to
Europe. The Chicago was flagship of
the Camooui white squadron under Ad
miral Walker.
PARTY WILL RETURN IT.
Creditors May Get $50,C00 < ontrl
lMition to Conservative Funds.
LONDON, Nov. 20.— Hooley's disclos
ures with regard to his relations with
the Carlton club have caused much ex
citom.nt In Conservative circles. A
number ot prominent members of th.it
party are making an effort to abate
the scandal by returning to H.oley'a
creditors the speculator's $50,000 con
tributed to the Conservative party
funds.
Hooley's statements are already do
ing considerable harm to the Conser
vative prospects In the country, and
A. J. Balfour, the Conservative leader
in the house of commons and first lord
of the treasury, is said to huve urged
that the money be restored to the do
nor.
Hooley was quite sanguine that he
would get a baronetcy at the time of
the jubilee, and, ln toot, issued invita
tion cards to seats which he rented on
the top of Ludgate Hill, overlooking
the ceremony at St. Ftuil's cathedral.
In the names of "Sir Ernest and Lady
Hooley."
It is understood the queen or the
Marquis of Salisbury vetoed his bar
onetcy, which the Conservative wire
pullers did their best to secure.

VIENNA, Nov. 20. — Advices from
Bucharest record two recent attempts
upon the life of ex-King Milan of Ser

the former king's car with pistols and
stents. They smashed the windows ar:d

suite. Later, at Nisch, a man dressed
