THE SAN PEDRO HARBOR QUESTION


To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir Claims are industriously circulated throuRh-
ont the nation by advocates Of the building Of an
ou;er and inner harbor at San Pedro, Cal. VITA
the appropriation of 100000. that all or southern
California wishes the Government TO build these
artificial harbors, and that the San PEDRO PROJECT
ia a National necessity. These claims are untrue.
A large norton of the inhabitants OF Southern
California are vigorously opposed to an expenditure
Of millions of dollars at San Pedro. Such oxpendi-
ture is deemed unnecessary when viewed from
National standpoint. Within ninety miles OF ms
proposed San Pedro harbor is the perfectly land
locked harbor of San Diego. capacious enough to
float the navies of the world convenient TO the IN
terror points and forming the natural deep-sea
gateway of Southern California This statement Is
confirmed by official data at Washington, in the
form Of United States Coast Survey maps and re-
ports by officers of the Engineer Corps OF the
Army, and by other trustworthy, unprecedented off,

cording the reports of the Army engineers. that
Congress has ordered his Department TO do some
thing impossible e., TO build two harbors at San
Pedro with barely sufficient funds appropriated to

gress for further instructions. For this he has
been censured unduly and cruelty He has
been repeatedly charged by the press as acting
solely for the benefit Of his personal interests
tary of War with "unlawfu action" in the San
Pedro matter. Los Angeles and San Francisco
papers have persistently abuses not only the Sec
retary OF War, but the National Administration as
well and for what? Because the Administratio Tor

matter and not permit the reckless expenditure of
many millions OF dollars of the Nations money.

STARVING IN INDIA.

That is horrible condition Of
affairs in India, where a terrible
famine is raging over district Of
1900 miles long and 400 miles wide.
Men, women and children are
starving to death by the thousands
actually wasting away until they
are nothing but skin and bones and
then dying. The following is the
condition Of the people as described
by the Associated Press represen.
tative in a dispatch sent out from
Jubbulpoor:
On his way to this city the spe-
cial representative of the Asso-
ciated Press, who is examining into
the famine situation in India, WIS.,
tied the poor houses Of Bilaspur
and Katni. The inmates were
found to be in deplorable condi-
ton. The buildings were over
crowded and medical attention
was lacking. A man outside one
OF them was dead and another was
dying. A girl Of 5 years Of age
weighed only ten pounds and sew
eral adults were under fifty-six
pounds in weight. The skin in all
cases was drawn over the face,
snowias-ske outline Of the skulls,
limbs and joints. had the ap.
pearanee Of those of articulated
skeletons. There is an immense
migration to the Assam Sea Gar.
dens, 1000 persons going there
weekly, deserving their wives and
families.
Jubbulpoor is the worst part Of
central India. Ii is estimated that
the present famine is the greatest
of the century and will greatly sur
pass that Of 1876, both in area and
severity. The famine belt extends
to Rawalpindi and Bellary and is
1900 miles long and 400 miles
wide. This is apart from the scat.
tered districts.
In all the rice districts there is
no chance Of a food supply until
September. The government will
thus be forced to support nearly
all the population for six months |
and many Of them for eight months.
Whole villages are deserted. The
governments policy at first was
to ignore the famine. II is, how
ever, now alive to the situation and |
strenuous efforts are made to avert
horrible disaster. Out Of tie $50.
600 inhabitants Of Iubbulpoor
about 1900 are now receiving
relief. BY the month Of May this
number will be doubled. !

TIME TO STOP 1T.

Weyler, the head Spanish butch
er in Cuba, seems strongly inclined
10 tackle the American buzz-saw,
As IS shown by his arbitrary arrest
and imprisonment Of Sylvester
Scovel, the correspondent OF the
New York World sent to Cuba by
that journal with instructions TO
obtain the best information posi-
Bile regarding the struggle and FUR
nish it for publication.
II is quite unlikely that a man
Of Mr.. Scovel's intelligence would
have violated any Of the laws OF
war in acting as newspaper cor
respondent in Cuba. He knew
how strictly the arbitrary laws OF
Spain are enforced, and he knew
also that if he violated the laws
this government could not protect
him against punishment. Every
thing, before, points to the fact
that his arrest has been arbitrary
and entirely unwarranted, and as
he is citizen Of the United States,
he should be protected to the ut
termost until it shall be established
that he has exposed himself to just
punishment.
The.s safety Of both person and
property of American citizens II
Cuba has been shamelessly disre'
garded by the Spanish authorities
The property of Americans who
are neutrals in the war has beer
ruthlessly destroyed, and in many
instances citizens have been i'm
prisoned and punished because
they did not take part with Spair
in the efforts to suppress the rebel
lion.
Had Spain thus interfered witt

property of English citizens, Their
