There was large meeting of Spanish and Portu-
euese Jews held on the 13h of August, to consider
the situation Of their suer ring brethren in Damascus,
Abraham R. De Costa, chairman. A subscription
was opened to aid in paving for the mission to Da-
mascus Of Sir Moses Monte fore and others. The
following is Of the resolutions -
Resolved That we feel it to be eur duty TO declare
that the Jews Of Jamaica would, with the greatest
promptude, respond tn the call Of any Of their fell
law creatures, suffering the misfortunes under which
the Jews of the East laboring, be their re-
Iigon or country what it may. We are, therefore,
imperatively bound to assist those protesting the
same faith.
There was alss another meeting Of the English
and German Jews. The proceedings were similar
TO those Of the previous meeting
There is great complaint in the papers OF the con-
duct Of the blacks.
There has been a most disastrous drought, and
the coffee crops are nearly destroyed. letter says

strong brcczes that have had, our coffee is nearly
ruined IL we do not get rains shortly, our croIs

foundation upon which our national prospe-
perity has been built, and the main spoke by
which the poor man ascends the ladder OF wealth.
The destruction of credit will give additional
strength and potency to the rich, and distress eff
fectually every chance of rising to all who have
nothing but character to sustain them. Let any
man of observation look among the circle of his
acquaintance who have acquired property, and
he will find, that nine-tenths of them have COM

From the Cincinnati Republican.

We expressed the other day our strong convie
stions that Col. johnson could not have been cor
rectly reported in the speech at Chillicothe
which was contained in the Chillicothe Adver-
tiser of the 9th instant, and in proof of our hav.
ing Just grounds for this belief, we are gratifed
in the opportunity of spreading the following
correspondence before our readers.
1t is well known in Kentucky, as well as in
this State, that Major Carneal is probably on
terms of greater intimacy with both Gen. Har-
rison and Col johnson than any individual in
the west His conduct in the following cores
pondence adds to the claims which his services
as Quarter-Master under General Harrison in
1872, and as Senator of Kentucky, give him
to public respect
CINCINNATI, 24fh august, 1910.
Dear Sir,-It was my object, if practicable,
in addressing the enclosed letter to Col johnson,
to prevent any unpleasant feelings between two
gallant officers of the late war, who, from my
own personal knowledge, entertained high re-
,spect for each other. | am more than gratifed
to find have not been unsuccessful in the at
tempt. Without communicating with either of
these gentlemen, take upon myself the respop-
sibility of authorizing you to publish the cores
pondence, and am
