Rosendo Fernandez is president of the chamber of commerce of the city of Havana, which is a position of more importance there than corresponding positions are In the United States, because it carries with it political as well as commercial honor and influence. It corresponds with the office of president of the board of trade in Great Britatn.

member of the cabinet of the captain general. Mr. Fernandez is one' of the most popular and efficient presidents that the chamber of commerce has ever had, but his election was a recognition of his public spirit and enterprising disposition, as well as a tribute to his personal popularity. He is a Spaniard by birth, but has been In Cuba since his boyhood, and has done a great deal to promote the prosperity of the city and the island, lie has been a leader in all educational and commercial movements, and is always selected as a manager of affairs which involve the interests of the public. In politics he belongs to the Reformista party, and, although he is not what might be called an active politician, he has a wide influence.

Mr. Fernandez was the commissioner of Cuba at the None of tho Friends of the Supposed Dead Mau Have Made Their Appeavance, and No Word Is Received. Key He 1 Furponely Provided With a Corp of he New Vorkcr' Itntlnrsa Ability I t'lidonhtod. "Do ihe people wish autonomy, a continuance of the present Spanish rule, independence or annexation?" "Neither the English nor Germans nor French who have found profitable investments for their capital in this country desire the independence of the Island or annexation to the United Stales. some of them are In sympathy with a system purely autonomical, but nothing more.

I believe that Independence or annexation is only desired by those Cubans who have changed their nationality, and by a part of the American people who have been unable or unwilling seriously to study what is best for their own country." "RESPONSIBLE" PEOPLE ARE SATISFIED. "Supposing that the responsible people of the island can decide the destinies of the country, how far do they accept the proposed reforms, or what further reforms would they desire?" "The responsible people of Cuba, if consulted in privacyt free from all pressure, would express satisfaction with the proposed reforms and a willingness to give them a thorough trial. When 1 say responsible people of Cuba I mean the people who own productive wealth, the capital invested in business free from mortgages and encumbrances, because there are many who own plantations and estates encumbered by mortgages in excess of the aelual value of the property. What I have said of the responsible people I will say also of the laborers who only desire to provide for their actual necessities." "What other remarks occur to you?" "The foregoing answers can be brietly recapitulaled. Nearly all of the property and interests of Cuba belong to or are controlled by Cubans and Spaniards, the commercial, agricultural and industrial movements being in their hands.

The reforms, which have been received with unanimous applause, must inaugurate a period of peace which will obliterate all kinds of distrust and fear of further disturbance. Foreign capital and labor will find here profitable employment. Owing to its geographical position, the variety ar.d importance of its products and to many other favorable circumstances, Cuba, under the sovereignty of the nation which discovered and civilized it. bus always been a good market for the United States, which can be increased in importance. Foreign residents who are so in reality do not sympathize with the insurrection, which, under frivolous pretexts, has associated with bandits, and has only succeeded in alluring the bloodthirsty passions of those of the great mass of its followers.

"I have already stated that foreigners and responsible business men expect nothing from independence, ami are afraid of complications in case of annexation. For that reason they prefer that Cuba continue Spanish under a government of decentralization and enlightment. Perhaps some inhabitants of the island aspire to a purely automatical rule, but they themselves and a great mass of Hie honest and laborious people recognize that the reforms have been a great step A man who can pit down in a rpiiet office Sarsaparilla clae and Blood Purifier.

Fernandez a series of inquiries covering various subjects of interest and importance, and he took his time In answering them. The following is From Sunday's Daily. In an awful battle with axes yesterday morning, Thomas Wilson, killed "Perk" Hill at the latter's home, four miles east of Richland. Hill was a farmer und Wilson a farm hand. Richland is eighteen miles from Topeka, but It is in this county, and Hill's slayer came at once to Topeka and save himself up to the sheriff.

.4,11 this is true unless Wilson is suffering from temporary inrwuiity. His story is the only one so tar that has been learned of the killing. No one in Carbondale, eight miles from the supposed murder, knew of. the affair last night, and none of the neighbors of the Hills, or of Wilson came to Topeka yesterday. things would tend to make AVilson's story look like the imaginings of diseased mind.

On the other Wilson talks most sensibly and. rationally about the light and everything connected With it. At Carbondale it is said that, Wilson is peculiar, he must, have gone suddenly daft if his mental balance is disturbed, for he has always been strong minded. a translation of the interview: W.i; March The tu.bif.i hp uis will' all i iilirni' hy th.

Yesterday morning about ft o'clock Wilson started with a team and wagon to go out to the timber to cut some wood. There was an axe upon the wagon. As he drove west past Samuel (or Hill's home the latter was coming out from the barn to the house. "Hello, Tom," said Hid. "Hello, Perk." returned the man on the wagon.

"It looks as though it might rain today." "When are you going to pay me that pound of tobacco you ewe me," continued Hill, advancing toward the gate. Between the house and the gate and axe lay, and this lliil picked up and brought outside the fence with him. He set it against a post and advanced about four feet from it.

Tho advices from Athens and Constantinople indicate that while the powers are agreed as to their general poliey, they are divided as to the character of the coercion to be applied to Greece. Two currents of feeling prevail. Great Britain, France. Italy anl Austria, ou one side, are sympathetic with Greece and favor mild methods. while Germany and Russia insist upon vigorous measures.

This divergence is manifested in the ne cent. Tobacco manufacture is principally in the hands of native Spaniards, the English and Germans, the only foreigners engaged in the business, controlling about 20 per cent of the industry. SPANIARDS THE BANKERS. "In the banking business the Spaniards are in the majority, with a few Cubans and Germans. The importing and retail houses are almost exclusively owned and operated by Spaniards.

Foreigners, Americans and Germans control the export trade. "The capital employed in mining enterprises is mostly furnished by Americans, but there are no operations in this line of great importance. The city real estate is about equally divided between Spaniards and Cubans. "How much of the capital employed in these enterprises is foreign, and how much of the earnings are expended abroad?" "I consider that the first part of this question has been answered in the foregoing statement. I shall therefore confine myself to the second part, and would say that TO per cent of the proceeds is applied to paying for the merchandise imported, and that the balance 30 per cent is consvjmed or remains on the island."

AS he turned to his left to again face the man Wilson struck him a. terrible blow over the right temple, with the blunt side of the weapon. It was made left-handed.

Hill threw up his hands and fell backwards to the road. The axo remained clenched in both hands above, his head. Blood poured from the wound, and from his eyes, nose, ears and mouth and his body lay quivering. Wilson says a man unknown to him came out of the house and went to Hill, while he "went 'and told Hill's brother what had taken place. He then went over the line into Osage county to tell Cal.

Moore, his brotherMn-law about it and to have him see to hts mother, upon whom he feared the shock would be very great. Wilson then -walked eight miles'to Carbondale, where he took the train Topeka to give himself up. He says there had never been any quarreling be'tween-'Hill and himself until Friday, when in talking over the rental of the Hill farm by himself and Wood Hill accused him of lying about him. At tliat time Wilson walked away and left him. The Hills are well known to the Richland neighborhood.
