HAVANA, Jan. Captain General
Weyler has issued n circular amplifying
article of his cdict OF Jan. l. 1t says that
the Spanish authorities must not permit
groceries, dry goods or medicines to leave
c town unless the reInittors of each To-
caiity guarantee the loyalty and standing
OF the purchasers and vouch for their

authorities are required to sign each in

Senior Maceiras, editor OF La Patria, Of
Santa Clara, has tsea imprisoned by or

is charged with circulating false charges
against the authorities. The publication
Of La Patria has been stopped.
1t is reported that Gomez has sont a spe-
cial messenger to General Ruiz Rivera,
the insurgcnt leader in the province Of
Pinar del Rio, urging him at all hazards
to create a diversion in that part OF the
island, so rs to prevent the captain gen.
eral from sending an overwhelming force
against the insurgsnt army which is ad-

Clara toward Matanzas, with tho inten-
ton, it is said, of pushing on as near IS
possible to the capital.
Tho Sunboats Ccntinela and ReinmDago

the object of going up the river Canto to

that the people did not want the franc

NEW YORK. Jan The Cuban junta
has something Ike $40 600 tied up in de-
posts with the United States government,
made in lieu OF real estate security for
the appearance of Geveral members OF the
revolutionary party who are charged with
violation Of the neutrality laws. Cash
bail was given because real estate owncrs
were unwilling to ASSUME the risk Of be-
coming surety for Z fiibuster who might
be called out Of thc country just az tho
time set for trial. Knowing this. the
Spanish government has sought to en-
barrass the junta by causing arrests to DO
made OH old AID almost forgotten
charges, so that it would be necessary to
devote to bail purposes the capital might

these arrests, the Cubans can meet them

The India Famine.
From tho Pittsburg Times.


Out of population of 1000, 900 in
the district of Jsbalpur in India, 90,-
900 are said to have persisted from
famine, snd rumours of revolt against
the government are rife. 1t is prob
able India will always have the re.
currence of famine. The climate is
such that the country is from tine to
time subject to terrible destroying
droughts, during which crops and
cattle alike perish. The failure of
food follows, and death reaps a wide
harvest. But the climate is not alone
in the responsibility for the failure Of
the crops and the consequent suffer
ing. The peculiar religious doctriues
of tho people make long pilgrimages
popular and everything is neglected
by little armies of the faithful, who
waste their time and their accummu-
lated means to visit some religion
spot. The veneratien with which
many things are regarded prevents
the introduction of sanitary mea-
sures and conditions which could be
remedied, prevail in many parts of
India, inviting epidemic and aiding
famine.
The British government Is doing
what it can to construct irrigation
canals, establish better systems of
cultivation, and better hygisnic prac-
tices, but the innovations in o coun-
try where religion and caste prejud
ices are so inhexible are received
largely with distrust and with oppos-
ition.- If revolt shall follow the fam
inc. the horror will only be increased
by the blood.shed to ensue, to say
nothing of the evil results OF the neg
lect of crops that need every en-
couragement in this extremity. The
British cannot make favorable wealth
er, but they could ameliorate the
condition of the unfortunates, if Brit
ish advice and methods were more
closely followed.
