pecially in the centers of population,
and because also of the pressure of the
most malignant diseases, such as yell
low fever, smallpox and dysentery.
These diseases the natives withstand
with comparative ease but they are
especially oppressive to the Spanish
soldiery.
The reports indicate that the Spanish
army is not SO strong now as it was a
year ago. largely ON account of these
ravages, while they indicate no dimu-
milton of the insurgent forces.
The reports upon which the sub.
committees braef was based were from
various ccnsuls. Including Consul Gen.
eral Lee. They make no recommends
tions as to American policy but merely
give the situation as they see it.
In view of the developments in the
committee, Senator Morgan agreed not
to press the consideration of his reso.
luton, but will make an effort to have
the question made the unfinished busi-
ness Monday at 2 o'clock. This ac-
quiescence on the Alabama senator s
part to temporary delay is understood
to be given under the impression that
it will result in bringing to the resolu-
tion the support of the entire commit.
tee on foreign relations. This will, of
course, materially strengthen the reso-
luton in the senate, and it is believed
by its friends will expedite its passage
there. 1t is now probable that the
committee will not make any formal
report, and that the correspondence
will not be given to the public for the
present.

CUBAN SITUATION
Official Reports More Than Con-
firm Those From Unofficial
Sources
In Regard to the Suffering
Caused by the Orders of
Weyler.
Hundreds of Americans Starving
Without a Chance.tO Help
Themselves.

WASHINGTON, May IA. The senate
committee on foreign relations had the
Cuban question under consideration on
the basis Of the report of the sub
committee appointed to confer with
the president and Secretary Sherman.
The report was prepared by Senators
Davis and Foraker, the Republican
members of the sub committee, Sena-
tor Morgan, the Democratic member,
declining to participate in it. The re-
port consisted of concise statement of
the contents of official reports from
American consuls in Cuba, bringing
the information up to within week
of the present time. This report con-
firms the newspaper reports as to the
situation of affairs in the island, and
even goes farther in depicting deplor-
able situation than, do most of the
newspaper stories. Especial stress is
laid upon the condition OF American
citizens in the island. OF these it is
positively stated that there are
Hundreds In n Starving Condition
and most wretchedly clothed. Death
of Americans from starvation are daily
reported. They are scattered in all
parts of the island and are shown no
consideration whatever, because Of
their American citizenship. They are
generally persons who reside on plan.
tations but who have been driven from
their homes to the towns Or concentdose
and who, being among strangers with
out employment, are compelled to sub
sist on almost nothing. They are not
allowed to return to their plantations,
even to pick berries or to secure the
least article of subsistence. They are
theoretically under the care of the
Spanish army. but the army is without
commissariat. They have no means
of leaving the island. Their condition
is pronounced wholly deplorable. The
committee was especially impressed
with this recital and the opinion gen.
orally expressed that the situation
should be remedled if possible.
Even Worse Than imprisonment.
1t was considered as placing even a
worse aspect upon the question of our
relations to Cuba than the imprison-
ment Of Americans, of which there are
| now comparatively few instances.
The report also indicates a generally
wretched condition of all the inhabit.
ants of the island because of the
scarcity of food and money, and es.

ROUTED WITH GREAT LOSS,

Insurgents Force Remnant of q Span
ish Brig .de to Take Ship.
New YORK, May l4-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, Cuba, via
Key West, Fla, says: Apparently re-
liable news of the most important in.
surgent successes in months has just
reached Havana. 1t appears that Gen
eral CaliXtO Garcia and General Rabi
fell Oh Spanish force whicn was car
rying goods and supplies from Man
Zanillo to Bayamo, early last week,
captured the convoy and routed Gen
eral Lonos, and pursued him SO vigor-
ously that he fled TO the coast with the
remnant of his brigade and took ship
at Capecoruz for Manzanillo. 1t is
said that SO severe were the losses and
SO thoroughly disorganiZed were his
men, that the Spanish general did not
dare attempt to retrace his steps tC
Manzanillo by land, fearing that he
would be again attacked and this time
Z wiped out of existence.
This engagement, which is regarded
by Cubans here as more importan,
than any battle since Cacaerijicara
goes to show how helpless the Spanish
are in the country East of the trocha.
Spain has lost 5000 men, and food
and arms without end along the road
to Bayamo, and now the Spanish sol.
diers call it 1.-The road to death"

will be subject to taxation under the
Anderson law, which provides that all
land held by railroad companies and
not used in the maintenance or opera
tion of the road shall be subject to as
sessment and taxation. The amount
listed is between 7OO,O and 800, 900
acres. Accompanying the filing was "a
protest against the listing or taxation
of the lands.
This filing completes the list, all
other companies in the state having
filed theirs some time ago.
Auditor Dunn was asked about the
protest which accompanied the filing.
He said the same protest was made by
all the other companies, and that the
land would simply be filed for assess
ment, and if the companies did not pay
the tax he supposed the matter would
be appealed to the courts.

English Built warships.

Not only has England the greatest
navy in the world, but she has supplied
almost every other nation with most Of
it's warships.
The Argentine Republic has six
armored vessels, Of which four were
built at Birkenhead, one at Poplar and
one In Italy. OF her numerous cruisers
and gunboats, all but two were built in
England.
Chile has four armored ships, Of
which three We're built here.
Greece has got IL Of her IS cruisers
from us. Italy has come here for four Of
her largest battleships, and eight Of
Japans armored warships were made in
British yards, as well as six Of her
cruisers.
Holland has warships built in Eng
land; Spain has 6; Turkey has IL, and
Portugal has 10.
The grat powers prefer homemade
vessels, but Germany has two large
armored ships which she bought from
English builders about 20 years ago

"A Pot of the Hest Chaw."

The earliest mention OF tea by an
Englishman Is probably that contained
In letter from Mr.. WicEham, an agent
Of the East India company, written from
Firando In Japan on the 27th Of June.
1915. to Mr.. Eaton. another officer Of
the company. resident at Macao, asking
him tosend "a pot Of the best chaw. :"
In Mr.. Eaton q accounts Of expenditures
occurs this item, "Three silver porrin-
gers to drink chaw In.
It Was not until the middle Of the
seventeenth century that the English
began to use tea. The first importations
were from Java, and the price ranged
from e8 to e10 per pound. In the Mer-
ourius Politicus of September, 1858, ap-
pears the following advertisement;
"That excellent and by all physitians
approved China drink, ce,led by the
Chineans tcha, by other nations tay. or
tea, is sold at the Sultaness Head, q
cophee house in Sweetings Rents. BY
the Royal Exchange, London.
Pepys enters in his diary on the 96th
Of September, 1860. II did send for .
cup Of tee, q China drink, Of which I
had never drunk before" This IL q
proof of the novelty Of the drink in
England at that date. In 1864 it is re-
corded that the East India company
presented the king with two pounds
and two ounces of "thea."
About this time, however, the con-
sumption Of tea and coffee became fash
ionable, and the importations large in
proportion. -Lippincott's.
