He Going to Cuba to See the Situation for His Owu Inforinxtiou.

New York, Nov. Herald prints an interview with Senor Jose Canalejas, editor of El Heraldo, whose mission to the United States and Cuba is expected to give him additional weight in the councils of Spain when he returns there. The distinguished visitor said: "I have in the first place no official character here, but I have spoken ar.d written too much on Cuban affairs not to believe It a political and moral duty to determine on the spot the truth or error of my opinions. Further, I have the responsibility of a journal to which I myself contribute, and I believe also that the journeys of political men to the colonies should not be alone to fulfil official functions. So I came to see the true situation, to make a confidential report to my friends of the government and to make public use of my information in the press and in the cortes.

Such questions must be studied on the spot. So after a couple of weeks in Xew York I shall sail for Cu.Da ind visit all the provinces of the island." "Do you consider that the recall of General Weyler was tantamount to a total disapproval of his acts during his tain generalship? Is Blanco from what you know of his reputation, to pursue both a more vigorous and a more merciful policy?" "I think that the present government las never agreed with the ideas of General Weyler, and everybody expected his recall the day aftr the nomination of Senor. Sagasta. Marshal Blanco and I the generals who accompanied him are resolved to strike hard blows at thi- in' surgents, but also to follow a policy of indulgence, and not to be influenced by suspicions and denunciations. As for the position of the United States, I think that your country has the right to hold and to expres? its views, on tne Cuban problem, but noc to go beyond that.

And it is the expeditions and tbs- public actions against the rights uf Spain which have caused the protests of the lawyers, of the press and of various other Spanish elements." Havana, Nov. proclamation of Captain General Blanco to the Spanish army in Cuba, which will soon be issued, contains the usual exhortations to the troops in r.egard to maintaining discipline, and adds that property should be urges that the utmost energy during the fighting with the.

CTHAXS ISSCE A MANIFESTO.

Declare They Will Never Accept Anything from Spain but Independence. New York, Nov. hall was crowded last night with enthusiastic Cubans, who applauded when the speakers declared that Cuba would never accept reforms from Spain, that peace can only come after the evacuation of the island by the Spanish army and that the Cuban patriots will fight to the death for their independence. A manifesto addressed to the government of the Cuban republic was issued yesterday by Cubans in this city. It has already been signed by nearly all the leading members of the Cuban colony here and will be sent for additional signatures to every part of the United States where there Is a Cuban colony or club.

The document will also be submitted for signatures to the Cuban colonies in Mexico, the Antilles, Central and South America. Paris and Rome. It will afterward be transmitted to the Cuban provisional government. Copies of it in Spanish and English will be mailed to every part of the world.

"White, on thi subject of Cuba, as reported in Tues day's issue of the Vienna Tageblatt, where he is represented as saying in the course of ac interview that the Americans "will patiently await the realization of autonomy, and when It is realized the relations between Spain and tht United States will return to their iior mal condition." This statement White is regarded in official circles as accurately reflecting the real opinion of the American government, and as virtually repudiating anything to the contrary in the much-discussed article Hannls Taylor in an American maga- line, although ArbassadorVv'hite did not Mention Taylor's name. HORSE SHOW HAD TO WAIT.

Vhile John A. Logan Settled a Difficulty with the State Board. Chicago, Nov. 6. forty minutes Thursday night the fate of the Chicago horse show hung in the balance.

The largest throng of men and women which has yet gone down to the Coliseum to see and be seen was surging into the arena. A dozen saddle horses were cantering about the red oval of the ring waiting for judges and attendants who came not. The state board of agriculture, in its rooms in the building, was holding a council ot war to consider an ultimatum from Manager John A. Logan, backed up by the judges and many of the exhibitors. This announced that unless an apology be rendered to Logan for insults and indignities heaped upon him and the absolute management of the exhibition be turned over to him, neither judces nor exhibitors would appear in the ring Thursday night.

There has been a great deal of friction between Logan and the state board from the first and the exhibitors and those who have guaranteed the sta te board against loss of money have aided with Logan. One thing 1 done by the state board was to nail up the private passage to the arena from Logan's office; but the climax came when the gats keepers refused to let Logan (and some friends who had been driving) in at one of the gates. This settled it and Logan and the exhibitors held a meeting, at which resolutions of apology were framed for the state board to adopt. These resolution included one turning aver the absolute management to John A Logan. They were adopted, and the show goes on.

Six months ago she was released "on parole" and assigned to the family of Mrs. Ellen R. Coleman, a wealthy south side family, where she was to serve at a weekly salary of $1.75. It is claimed at the industrial school that the girl had no right to get married without permission from school directors.

With a dozen or more of the eighty- eight counties very close there been no material changes except Wood county, which will be claimed by both parties till the courts pass on the action of the supervisors. Thera have been no unusual proceedings before the returning boards of any of the counties except that of Wood, although both parties have had their representatives and attorneys in the county seats wherever the vote was close.

Chairman McConvIlle, of the Democratic state mittee, has not changed his claim of a Democratic majority on joint ballet, and will not do so till the official ro- turns of all counties are in and show the results to differ from those he has at hand.
