A garbled 1899 item discusses election participation with an urging to vote early and often. It mentions subscription costs, foreign payments, and a note about a five story sky scraper in Hovnlolo as a future building. The piece preserves period tone and curiosity while avoiding graphic detail.
The executive orders a special election with no public reason given prompting public inferences.

If the bill passes, July sets the new government with merged departments and a revised salary structure. The process remains “in the air” while Congress delays.
A local editorial argues McKinley’s Cuba policy signals US willingness to let Cubans run their affairs. It challenges officials to resign and seek public support, criticizes the perceived anti-US sentiment, and backs Commissioner Brown as the official from Washington.
