PALLIA ON y THE- MESSAGE DID , NOT EXPECT IMMEDIATE , , ACTION BY CONGRESS , TO BE RECOMMENDED BY THE "PRESIDENT," WHO D.OES NOT EVEN SUGGEST AUTONOMY BY CUBANS. WHAT CUBAN DELEGATE BEN J. ' GIBERG A SAYS-, The Granting of Autonomy to Cuba by Spain. Proclaims to tne World the Justice of Cuban Rebellion and the Right to Appeal to Arms. New York, Nov. 7. T. Estrada, Palma, representative of the Cuban provisional government in the United States,' com menting upon President McKinley's Message, according to the Herald, says: "I did not expect any recommendation to congress for immediate action, but the president left congress to decide the time wJit'hin which an enduring peace must be estaM'kJhed in Cuba and inti mates the necessity of haste by the use, in this connection, of the words 'In the near future. He further says that in case of tlhe faiiilure of Spain . to pacify ihe island with the scheme of autonomy American interests, humanity and civ ilization will demand forcible interven tion. As Oaipt-Gen. Blanco h&mself ad mits that the Cubans iin arms will not accept autonomy, tlhe time for the presw idemt to speak, fcas arrived. "It will be noticed that the president does not even suggest acceptance 'of au notomy by Cubans, and it is evident that he would not have written the last paragraph , in the terms that he did if he believed . that autonomy would bring peace in Cuba." Mr. Benjamin Giberga, formerly a merchant of this city,; but at present connected w4tih the Cuban delegation and a brother of Senor EJ'iiseo Giberga, the Cuban senator, said to a reporter: "The granting of aiuitonomy to Cuba by Spain proclaims .to the world the justice of the Cuban rebellion and the ! right the Cubans had to appeal to arms, since only through force would Spain 'have been compelled to grant to Cuba wthat is but a semblance of home rule. But it is now too late even for the most ample form of autonomy, which is not wthat Spain is ready to concede. Spain's autonomy will be suchln name only and for the exclusive use of the residents of the ports and the few, interior, town held by Spaniards. The Cuban, patriots now in arms are the only ones to decide and will never accept autonomy; they have decflared. it time and again; they are fighting for absolute independence and the offer of autonomy they consid er a plain avowal by Spain that her cause is lost. At the beginning of the war when Martinez Campos . suggested reforms for Cuba, a prominent newspa per of Madrid replied, to him, voiding public opinion, that they would send to Cuba 'Not reforms but guns.' "General Weyler went soon after to Cufoia to carry out tihe policy, .then in vogue.. Now, when ail Spaniards see that Spain's cause is irrevocably lost, as slhe has no money and no credlit and no more men to send to Cuba and is threatened With a CarMst war at any time, besides that waged war ; against her in. fhe PhiilUpines, they are exceed. ingly anxtous for the Cubans to accept autonomy. Wlhy did they refuse it be fore? Because they considered them selves strong and tovtnciible. Why do they offer it now ? Because they are convinced of their defeat. This is a slg nal victory for ' the Cuoan' army,- sCnce thfrough. force Spain concedes at present what 'she formerly refused to grant will lngHy. , "Spalin desired to end the war in Cuba qufekfly, but stee can only do so by ac- knowtledglng the independence of th island. Never . before was Cuba so strong as efhe is now. , Spain has never been so weak since the war began. It is rediculous to ask the Cubans to give up wQnen, victory, final and 4 decisive, : is aJbout to crown their efforts.

Senator .'Mor gan, the author of tlhe Cuban beilige-r ency Joint resolutitmwMch passed the autonomy offered by Spain. . He eaid: "It is impossible for Spain 'to gi ve r- or, Cuba to ' accept ' autonomy on ' the basis which, is said to toe' proposed. It is reconcilable with, the Spanish, con stitution and theory of colonial govern ment, 7 and would only create- constant fraction. It is a -tub to the whae.' ' ; 'Senator Morgan said further:..; "My posdtion on the Cuban question has of ten been misconstrued. - Iii my course as- to Cuba I am not animated by any feeling of dislike toward the Spanish race. It has tortured every one who came within its power when subisiissfen to its authority is the question, but that does not concern me as a senator.. ."I do 'protest however, as a man, against the starvation of '500,000 people to sustain the divine right of a 12-year old boy, half Spanish and half Austrian, to rule the native people of a country 4,000 miles away; my motive has been to protect the lives and property of American citizens in Cuba. "It appears that further, delay will be attempted in the recognition of the existence of a war in Cuba," as the combination of monopoly and" monarchy seems determined to .carry : out that policy. When, the resolution, as to the existence of the war was introduced in the senate, there was an effort to de lay it there, and when it went to the house, Mr. Reed simply locked the doer and put tJhe key in his pocket. "The .members submitted with . as much grace as did our Thanksgiving turkey to the ax, and they seemed, to welcome the fate of the turkeys, with pious resignation. The resolution is yet in the house, and I have no doubt the democratic members will insist up on its agitation; though some of the same men were as1 meek as to Cleve land's policy as are the Republicans now to that of Mr. Reed. "There is no cause for a war with Spain in the recognition ' of the bellig erency of the Cuban de facto Govern ment. The recognition of the existence of public war in Cuba will probably en able the patriots to drive tne fepanasn from the island by cutting off their supplies of food, coal and munitions, and thus terminate the war. "The support given to the Spanish policy of delay by certain influences in this country is, in my opinion, due oMefly to the speculations of certain capitalists, who are buying up the es tates of the refugees at trifling prices, and desire to see the war keep up. until they succeed in capturing everything avadllafble, when they will begin to open ly assist whichever power seems likely to become-dominant. "As for myself, I. concluded my duty when the joint resolution , passed the senate, and I slhall take no further step in the matter as it now stands. believe it is the duty to declare that open, public war is flagrant in Cuba, according to the unquestionable truth of the situation; and, when we have done that, we can proceed honorably and in accordance wtith the laws of Na tions to do wlhatever our national duty requires us to. do. Until that is done we are acting a false and double part, wtoidh does not invite the . honest re spect of either Cuba or Spain." PERMANENT SHOW ORGANIZATION OF C W. and N. W. S. E. CO.

Entirely Unconscious and Resting Quietly, But Was Slowly Growing Weaker Canton, Dec. . 7, President McKin ley has again reached Canton. He ar rived over the Pennsplyania in a spe cial train at 8:55 this morning. On step- ping off the train he inquired as to his motlher's lieaJth and was much cheered up by the reply that she still lived. He was hurriedly driven to her home and was soon att her bedside. She was then resting quietly but was unconscious'. Canton, Nov. 7. Once more the chil dren of Mrs. Nancy Allison MtsKinley have gathered about her couch . made sacred by her tenacious struggle against deatlh. The reunion is complete. The president arrived before the death angel made' hi visit and took wDtlihim the spirit of the aged mother. ; With the chfiJdren were other relatives among whom was the aged sister of Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. Abigail Osborne, mother of Consul W. M. Osborne. The scene was a pathetic one that beggars description. In the midst of all there was a joy unspeakable in the breast of the president. He was per mitted to again see his , mother alive. He had answered all the ctbligations of his country. He had fulfilled his vows to the people. He had witnessed the as- I j tembling of congress and had been dheered with the news at the same time that his mother was better. In that little upper room of the Mc Kinley homestead this morning there was a scene that is almost too sacred for pen to write. The eyes of all pres ent were Allied with tears as they wit nessed the most remarkable rally of the president's motfcer from the unconsc'ou.3 state into whicih she had fallen early this morning.-!;- 1 As her famous son entered the room accompanied by his wife and niese, M sa Mabel McKinley, the eister of the pres ident, Miss Helen, said: "Mother, here are William and Ida." He knelt by her j bed side, kissed her tenderly and rever ently, and as he dlld so she put Her arm about his neck and signified that she knew him. She also recognized the president's wife and reached her hand toward her, and knew Misa Mabel Mc Kinley and Jack Duncan. It seemed to friends that she had some how or otfcer been waiiting for the arrival of her son. Soon after she lapsed Into ari unconscious sit ate and the strength that had been husbanded for f the last meeting of on and mother seemed to leave her.' An hour after his arrival the president' I sat ta the bedside, holding the hand of his motlher. Attending physician was surprised at the remarkable rally. At 9:3p he sail that she was gsttitig weaker but h'e thinks she will live through the day. ' At five o'clock this morning it Was thought by those in attendance that .h TWPsMfMnit -wnuild not arrivp hpf.vr the aged mother had died. He was arx - ious to get to her bedside. The .run was a rapid one from Pittsburg, but. there; wtas a sliigfht delay there in maloing tbe transfer to the Fort. Wayne track. , The" presidential party was made up of President and Mrs. 'McKinley, Sec retary and Mins. Day, Miss Mabel Mc Kinley, Jack Dumcan and Miss Barter. The trip was maae in the spT.endid. coach Newport. f The train was met at the Pibiladelphia station by Mr. Abner McKinley, the president's brother and Messrs. Chas. R. Miller and George B. Frease. The journey from Pittsburg to Canton was made without any special incident save that the president was constantly informed of the condition of his mother and as he neared the city he perceptibly became more anxious to reach the jour ney's end and be with his mother again. Dr. Phillips, who was present at the time of the president's arrival and the recognition, said af terward in comment ing upon this that the- affair was most remarkable. He said he bad , never .knciwm such a recognition to occur in a case like Mrs. McKinley's, where, the patient was advanced in years. It : is platin to the president, however,- that his motlher's pulee is growing weaker and that despite the rallies fhe 'has had, she has. been failing sfnee he left her. r ADOLPH L.
