President of Cuba Ha Lost the Snpport of Newspaper. HAVANA, Aug. 23. President Talma finds himself to-day without the support of a single newspaper controlled by Cubans. The editorials published in the Cuban press are, considered collectively, remarkable for their bitterness and outspoken opposition of the executive. The only paper which supports the President is the Diario de la Marina, formerly the organ of the Spanish government and at present representing the Spanish colony in Cuba. One of the principal causes of the opposition to President Palma seems to arise from the fact that he granted the Castaneda concession for the establishment of an electric light plant at Havana. This concession has been a subject of bitter discussion in the House of Representatives, and some members of the I louse are demanding Senor Raima's Impeachment unless the conce-sion is rescinded. The Iress criticises President Palma for interfering in such a trilling matter, and especially as it was distinctly a municipal affair. It says that, although the President was elected on an independent ticket and received the indorsements of the Republican and Nationalist parties, he has carried his inde-lK-ndtnce too far and to-day has the support of neither party. It is rumored that certain leading Republicans are urging the President to announce himself a member of the Republican party and are guaranteeing a majority in the House and Senate if he does so. La Id.-cu;ion advocates such a declaration from the President. Four Firemen Injured. YORK. Pa.. Aug. 28.

The recent reported discovery by the captain of the revenue cuttter Manning of a new seal rookery near Aleutian Island has been brought to the attention of the State Department, where it has been Investigated. The report if accurate, would be of the greatest importance, for It would go far toward sustaining the contention of the Canadian seal Ushers, that there really has been no dlmInuation of fur seal in Alaskan waters; that there are as many fur seala as ever in the open sea, and that what has happened has simply been an abandonment by the fur seals of their old rookeries on the Pribyloff islands. The investigations of Henry W. Elliott, the fur seal expert of the government for many years, has led the officials of the State Department to the conclusion that the report of the captain of the Manning is erroneous. The places where these seals was reported to have been found was on Rouldyer Island, more than six hundred miles distant from the Pribyloff Islands. Mr. Elliott's conclusion is that what Captain McLehan of the Manning actually saw was a number of young sea lions, which are easily mistaken for seals. Rut if fur seals were actually seen by the Manning's people, then Mr. Elliott reports they surely must be straslers not from the distant Pribyloff islands, but from th" Russian herd; most likely from Copper island, of the Commander group, which is about two hundred miles distant and is approached as close as eighty to one hundred mile? by the Russian herd on having and entering the Bering sea. Htmunry Auxlonn for Independence. Washington Post. "The people of Hungary will never rest satisfied till they have a government of their own. separate and entirely independent of Austria." said Mr. Joseph von Jenney, formerly a captain of the Emperor's body guard, but for many years a resident of this country. "It Is not generally known in the United States, but I can tell you that the feeling against Austria by the Hungarians is as Mtter as the Irlh entertain toward England, if not more so. When Emperor Francis Joseph dies there will be a revolution, and Hungary will win her absolute freedom. Her people have stood oppression and unjust taxation for a long time, but they will at "no distant day assert themselves. Whether they will establish a republic or a monarchy, I cannot tell, but a government of their own is certain." The Domlnutlntf Materlnl. New York Tribune.
