The condition of Havana is deplorable.
Important business houses close every
week; others are threatening to close, re-
ducing the force. cutting down the sal
aries of those who remain, while the
prices of living, always high here, are
constantly increasing. Stories of want
and misery are heard on every side and

Gently and the authorities have been
stirred to take action TO isolate patients

MUST BE ABANDONED.

Under the Spanish military code, as in
the case of our own military law, all
capital sentences are renewable bv
superior authority.
Several days will be required to com
plete the action in the case. Meantime
the state department is in communication
by cable with United States Consul Cen
structtons, he will lose no opportunity to
aid the prisoners in all proper ways. AS
gathered from the newspaper reports of
yesterdays trial, the Spanish authori-
ties, in answer to Mr.. Williams demand
that the Americans under arrest be
granted the privilege assured by the
Gushing protocol, held that the protocol
such conditions as were these, but ap-
plies only to American citizens in Cuba
1t is held here that this construction is
extremely technical and narrow and If
will not be accepted without remonstrance
by our government.
THE COMPETITOR CASE
is complicated by wide variance be-
tween Spanish law and our own respect
ing the definition of piracy and this
becomes of great moment when it is
realized that in the present case the
prisoners are accused in addition to
treason, of being pirates. Under our law
such a charge would not apply to their
case.
Secretary Olney and the president were
in conference for some time today on the
Competitor case. The result of the con-
ference is not stated but there can be no
doubt that strong representations will be
made to the Spanish authorities against
the summary nature of the proceedings
and against the infection of the death
sentence and special stress will be laid
on the Milton case.

NEW YORK. May "a special to the
Herald from Kingston, Jamaica says:
Cuban residents have received advices
announcing the safe arrival in Cuba of an
expedition in aid of the insurgents, which
recently left this island. The vessel con-
veying the expedition was chased by a
Spanish cruiser and compelled to land her
men and cargo in the vicinity of an en-
campment of government troops, which,
however, was avoided by a flank move

WASHINGTON, May 9.-No informa-
ton is to be had from official sources in
Washington today respecting the Com
petitor case in any respect, either as to
the results of the court martial or as to
the course of our government How
ever, 1t is generally understood that the
court martial found the prisoners guilty
and has imposed the death sentence
upon them, subject to Admiral Ma
varro's approval. This, however, does
not necessarily mean that there is to be
speedy action in the execution of the
sentence, or even that hope for the con-

at the defeat of the school reform law in
the diet, due to DR.. Won Bosses want of
skill, and at the rejection of the chamber
of commerce bill, which was a hard slap
at DR.. Won Boetticher and Baron Won
Berlepsch.
However, it is probable that the men,
bers of the present cabinet will hold their
posts until the fall. as the sessions of the
diet and reichstag are drawing to a
close, and the emperor has a well filed
programme for the summer which viii
keep him in Berlin for months. In spite
of this, it is borne in mind that his maj
esty his expressed himself strongly to his
encourage in the ability of the cabinet and
there is an impression in court circles
that if the ministerial failure continues
he may lose his patience and force the
resignation of the whole cabinet.
