not regarded as one at which offense
could be taken.
While it is acknowledged that the
only prima facie object Of the document
could be the laying Of the foundation
for claims against the United States
there was also intimations that the
pamphlet was issued and given wide
circulation for the purpose Of making
the United States more vigilant in pre-
venting filibustering expeditions leaving
the shores of the United States, as the
Cubans in this country are redoubling
their efforts to send munitions of war
to the insurgents.
1t is known that from the beginning
Of the trouble in Cuba Secretary Olney
has made every effort to have the
United States so act as to be able to
prove that the government has done
everything possible to check expedi.
tions against Spain. 1t was said unoffi
cially that every claim that Spain could
make against the United States would
be met in such way as to destroy al
ground for damages.

Constantly.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Health Officer
Alvah H. Doty, Of this city, has re-
turned from Havana, Cuba. He spent
only two days in Havana because he
found ON arrival that it would be i'm.
possible for him to reach either Santi.
ago or Cienfuegcs where he says there
are alarming outbreaks Of smallpox.
He found that there was great deal of
yellow fever and smallpox in Havana
and the surrounding country. The
sanitary conditions are terrible. The
whole city's sewerage he says is emptied
into the bay, and the bay and the tide
is not sufficient to carry it to sea. Con-
sequently the bay is, he says, constant
breeder of yellow fever, especially
around the Rigna docks and military
hospital.
There were 300 cases of yellow fever
and 100 deaths reported from the mill.
tary hospital during the two weeks
previous to DR.. Doty's visit. He is con-
fident that the condition of the city OF
Havana is much worse than in ordinary
summers, as the presence Of unacolima'
ted soldiers has very bad effect.

Her Release Depends on Whether She
Carried Arms.
WASHINGTON, Aug 18.-The treasury
officials have not received sufficient in.
formation in regard to the seizure of
the suspected filibusterer Three Friends
to warrant them in ordering her re-.
lease. The future action of the officials
hinges entirely upon the question
whether or not the Three Friends car
ried arms.
Her captain made oath that to his
knowledge and belief there were no
arms on board, but the officials are not
satisfied with this statement and have
asked the collector at Jacksonville to
furnish positive proof informatien on
this subject. II 1t is shown that the
vessel had no arms aboard she un-
doubtedly will be released, but If the
contrary is found to be the fact she will
probably be libelled and her officers
proceeded against for violation of the
neutrality laws.

COLUMBUS, Aug. l9.-The outfit of
dynamo, volt meters, rheostats, ETC., for
electrocution of criminal will cost about
$4,000. Henry l.. Garfield of Xenia,

Copies are to be sent to six electrical
companies, which have consented, after
much persuasion, to bid on the electro
cution contract, but who are anxious
that their names be not heralded to the
four winds, for fear of soaring away
customers who might object to buying
dynamo that it was known could kill
at short notice.
Accordingly neither the plans nor the
names of the six prospective bidders
were given out. The electrocution
chair itself will be made by convicts at
