■
HAVANA, Dec. 31.— The position of
the military administration requesting
the Cubans not to make any demon
stration tomorrow upon the turning
over of the government to the United
States was probably advised by sev
eral leading Cubans, whose names are
not made public, in order to protect
them from the wrath of the people.
The prohibition would have been issu
ed- ever, if this advice had not been
given. Nevertheless the fact that it
was given shows that the judgment of
Gen. Brooke and Gen. Ludlow is sus-
tamed by expert judges of Cuban
character and feeling.
The evacuation commissioners have
had detectives among the insurgent
leaders ever since the latter have been
allowed to enter the city of Havana,
and are familiar with their designs. It
is known that certain prominent Span
iards and native Cubans have been
marked for death and their property
for destruction! and it would be a na
tional calamity if the conspirators were
allowed to carry out their plans. The
very presence of Gen. Gomez in Ha
vana would create intense excitement,
and it would be impossible to prevent
his personal admirers and Cuban sym
pathizers from gathering in large num
bers to do him honor. The Cubans
are a very excitable people, and the
slightest demonstration would make
them uncontrollable.
CUBAN FLAG'S LOWERED.
More Cuban flags were taken in "to
day. A number of windows in build
ings along the line of march of the
United States troops which had been
' rented by persons wishing to view the
procession, were given up, and the In
vitation of the Americans to Cuban
ladies and gentlemen to witness the
scenes at the palace had been declined
with the explanation that the recip
ients of the invitations did not intend
to leave their houses tonight. Some
dwellings may appear draped In black.
Some smaller papers criticise the
American policy with bitterness, but
the larger dallies take no decided
stand. Printed anonymous handbills
are in circulation urging the Cubans
"to never mind, as they would have a
good time cheering the Americans."
The changing of flags Is likened to a
wedding, regarding which the kins-
people and friends of the bride are told
that the marriage will take place to
night, but that they can celebrate the
work a month hence.
The city is as It h^s been for two
days. Encounters between individuals
In heated political discussions, such as
occur In American cities of 200,000 in
habitants, are not considered Indicative
of a riotous move. Mont of the Cubans
ar.e aggrieved and distrustful of the
Americans, rather tha., angry.
AMERICAN S Ol', T GUARD.
Company F, of the Fourth West Vir
ginia, are on guard on the glacis of
Cabanas and Morro r-a sties. A few
Spanish artillerists aye inside. The
Spanish garrison has been withdrawn
to a space covering six blocks, embrac
ing the Cabal block, the palace, the
residence of the military governor, and
the nearby barracks for a few hundred
soldiers. The embarkation of these
troops aboard the transports Chateau
La Fitte and Stuttgart will take place
before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,
leaving Capt. Gen. Cawteilanos and his
staff office under the protection of
American cmieers.
The sound of hammering is heard in
the palace, nailing up boxes containing
papers, books and effects of the captain
general. The corridois and offices are
strewn with waste p'dlgfev and useless

PARTY LEADERS
SAYS SIXTEEN TO ONE
IS NOT AN ESSENTIAL
Two Declaration* Quoted by Judge
McConnell an Bxpresaive of the
Great Mlhhloii off tbe Democratic
Party Outlines Plans for an Ef
fective Campaign— — Dlacuasea the
Gold Standard and Tariff Usnei.
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.— Ex-Judge S. P.
McConnell, one of the Illinois dele
gates-at-large to the National Demo
cratic convention In 1896, delivered an
address before the Monticello club to
day which caused a great deal of talk
among local Democrats, particularly
in view of the fact that he has been a
close political associate of ex-Gov.
Jchn P. Altgeld. The speaker began
by quoting these declarations ot the
club:
We oppose all trusts and monopolies, In
order that wealth may not gain undue ad
vantage and that competition shall be free
and unrestrained among the people.
We oppose the single gold standard and
favor the restoration of bimetallism, regard
less of the action or desires of any other
nation.
Judge MeConnell said in part: '
These two declarations, in my judgment,
are expressive of the great mission of the
Democratic party. I am Inclined, however,
to believe that the first includes the second
and that the war against monopolies and
trusts means war R£ainst the single gold
standard, If the contest is to be waged In
telligently and effectively. I am certain, too,
that the first declaration requires and meant
hostility to protective tariff laws. In fact,
under the encouragement and aid of thoa«
laws, the first trusts and combinations en
croMblng upon frw eoawtttloa dun* Into
existence. Even after all that has been raid
against combination, trusts and monopolies.
I am far from convinced that the body of
the people adequately appreciate the great ■
peril to their worldly welfare springing from
these vast aggregation* of capital which are
gradually absorbing and controlling the In
dustrial activities of the country. Thousands'
who voted for Mr. McKinley In 1896, are
ready to join us in a campaign to be waged
against trusts, combinations and monopolies.
They only need evidence that we will fight
effectively.
ONE PLANK IN THE WAY.
There ia but one plank in the platform of
1896 which prevents these thousands being
openly and aggressively with us. They do
not believe in the remonetizatton of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1 of gold. They regard it
as even less defensible now than two years
ago.
The question for us to consider is, whether
we are showing an appreciation of the re
lative Importance of Issues When we seem to
be willing to run the peril of repeating the
experience of 1896, rather than to modify our
proposition regarding the ratio between sil
ver and gold. To my mind the 16 to 1 propo
sition has always savored something of su
perstition, and I have come to believe that
the best friends of bimetallism are not those
who refuse to have it except upon this con
dition. I should begin to be skeptical cf
their value as opponents of monopoly If they
persist that it must be sought only in con
nection with those radical demands than the
restoration of silver at a value it had more
than a quarter of a century ago.
With aggressive declarations In the plat
form of 1900 againet trusts and monopolies
and against their great allies and supports—
the gold standard and the protective tariff —
without Insisting on a particular value for
silver in a plan for its remonetizatlon or a
particular schedule for a revenue tariff, and

FRED D. IVDERWOOD FIV\I 1,1
ACCEPTS AN OFFER FROM THE
BALTIMORE & OHIO
GENERAL MANAGER
AND VICE PRESIDENT
INSISTED ON THE LATTER TITLE,
AND THE RECEIVERS
ALLOWED IT
CHANGE TAKES PLACE
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
It Is Said That Mr. Fitch Will Suc
ceed Mr. Underwood an General
Manager of the Soo, Cuiulilnlus
With It the Position He at Pres
ent Iluilds President Hill Says
He's Pleased if It's True.
The negotiations between the receiv
ers of the Baltimore & Ohio, acting in
behalf of the new reorganization syndi
cate, and Frederick D. Underwood,
whereby the latter Is to become gen
eral manager of that system, were end
ed yesterday when Mr. Underwood for
mally accepted the appointment. Mr.
Underwood has resigned from the gen
eral managership of the Soo and of
terminal companies in the Twin Cities
with which he was officially Identified,
and will henceforth devote his energies
to the direction of the Baltimore &
Ohio.
Ever since the organization- of the
new Baltimore & Ohio syndicate Mr.
Underwood has been mentioned as the
probable manager of that line. He
stands very high in the estimation of
President James J. Hill, who is largely
interested in the Baltimore & Ohio,
and it is understood that Mr. Hill first
offered the position of general manager
to him. Mr. Underwood has had su
preme control of the Soo, and he did
not like to relinquish such a position
for one subordinate to others, and he
said he did not care to make a change
unless assured that he would have the
management of traffic and operation
of the Baltimore & Ohio.
He thought he should hold a position
as vice president of the company also,
■which would give him a bett
ing in the eyes of railway officials. The
receivers, however, and several mem
bers of the syndicate objected to giving
Mr. Underwood so much pov. er and au
thority, and Mr, Underwood declared
tbat he would not consider the matter
further. It is understood that Mr. Hill,
who was anxious to have M:\ Vnui ■!•
vuj'i accent the posits 2, ,
associates to give Mr. Underwood all
the power he asked, and that, acting
upon Mr. Hill's advice, they yielded to
Mr. Underwood's terms, except that he
does not become vice president of the
road, at this time at least. Mr. Un
derwood was notified yesterday that
his terms were satisfactory, and he
promptly notified the receivers that he
would accept the general managership
of the Baltimore & Ohio system.
A reporter for The Globe last even
ing asked Mr. Hill about the appoint
ment of Mr. Underwood.
i
"I was not aware Mr. Underwood had
accepted," said Mr. Hill. "His nego
tiations were with the receivers, who
are now operating the Baltimore &
Ohio. I am very glad if the report is
true, for Mr. Underwood is certainly
an excellent man for that position.
This was recognized by the receivers
when they came so far to get him."
Mr. Underwood's salary, it is under
stood, will be $25,000 per annum, and ha
will make his headquarters in Balti
more.
The retirement of Mr. Underwood
from the Soo leaves a vacancy, which
it is believed will be filled by the ap
pointment of W. F. Fitch, general man
ager of the Duluth, South Shore & At
lantic, which Is connected with the Soo
as an auxiliary of the Canadian Pa
j cific. It is understood that the man
! agement of the Soo and the Duluth,
i South Shore & Atlantic will be consoli-
I dated, Mr. Fitch having charge of the
j traffic and operation of both lines.
Mr. Underwood has risen from the
I lowest rounds of the railway ladder.
'. He was born in 1850, in Milwaukee, and
i at the age of eighteen he became a
j clerk for the Milwaukee railroad. He
wanted more active experience, and ha
took a position on the road a,s a brake
man, and worked his way up to bag
gageman, foreman of elevators
ductor first of a freight and later of a
passenger train. He was faithful and
intelligent and was promoted to divis
ion superintendent. From that position
he rose to superintendent. In 1886 Mr.
Underwood was appointed general su
perintendent of the Minneapolis & Pa
cific railway, and In 18SS. when that
road was consolidated with the present
line known as the Soo, he became gen
eral manager, and has since held that
position.
Mr. Underwood has shown hims< If to
be a remarkably able railroad man,
and his success is due entirely to his
merit. As general manager of the Soo
he enjoyed unlimited authority, and
his hand guided that road In every
move it made.
William F. Fitch, who is to succeed
Mr. Underwood, is fifty-nine years of
age. He was for many years connected
with the Northwestern railway system,
filling many important posts. He was
general manager of the Freemont, Elk
horn & 'Missouri Valley road, and of
the Sioux City & Pacific. In Novem
ber, 1888, he entered upon his present
position as general nTanager of the Du
luth, South Shore & Atlantic. He 1b
also president and receiver of tho Du
luth & Winnipeg railroad, president of
the Mineral Range road, general man
ager of the Hancock & Calumet road,
and president of the Lake Superior Ter fr
minal & Transfer company. His head)
quarters are now at Marquett«\ Mich,)
but he will move to Minneapolis.^**!
soon as his appointment becomes ef
fective. " '
