general has not heard the last of the affair.
Congosto is also alleged to be displaying
considerable ignorance of administrative af-
fairs, and to have in consequence, failed
to fill many of the duties of his office.
Finally, the utterances of DR.. Congosto,
If correctly reported. are likely soon to be
sharply resented in Madrid. He is alleged
to have remarked that Spain had, until
now. followed a policy of spoliation in
Cuba, and that the insurgents were justified
In acting as they have done.
While this may be perfectly true. such a
remark from prominent Spanish official is
not likely to pass without notice at the
Spanish capital, especially as, it is added,
the employees of the secretary generals Of
flee protested against the remark and have
taken further action in the matter.
BlancO's Significant Remark.
Regarding political utterances, a state
ment made by Marshal Blanco shortly after
his arrival here is being much commented
upon. 1t seems that when the superior of
religious order, residing at Guanabacoa,
near this city. called upon the new captain
general in order to welcome him to Cuba
MarsnaI Bianco. during the course of the
conversation which followed said:
only Divine Providence is able to save
Cuba"
Whereupon the distinguished priest re-
torted:
''1f we must conf1de only in Divine Provi
dence, and have no other means to con-
quer the insurgents, then we are lost"
The sympathiZers with the Insurgents
have been making considerable capital out
OF this incident, claiming that the remark
OF the captain general indicates that he has
no faith in the success of his mission.
FURTHER proof of this state of mind upon
the part of Marshal Blanco appears to be
furnished in a statement which is attrib-
uted to him when he replied to the well
come of the Merchants Association Upon
tnat occasion the captain general is said
TO nave asserted that Spain could keep up
the f1ShtinS until after April next, and il
restore peace at any price he marshal
Blanco) would return to SPAIN
Incidentally this sentiment is credited to
several other generals who have arrived
here recently from Spain.
Cane Fields Put to the Torch.
The answer of the insurgents to Marshal
Blanco's decree favoring the resumption
OF grinding sugar cane has been the burn
ing of immense care fields in the sugar
hood of San Felipe. A day OF SO ago the
sky In that direction was red with the re-
Election of the flames.
Very shortly after the previous dispatch
regarding the peace negotiations Of Gen
Pando was closed 1t became known that
two of the prominent ex-insurgent leaders,
referred to as having been in communica-
tion with the Spanish commander, had been
induced to start for Manzanillo, in another
effort to induce the insurgent leaders of
Santiago de Cuba to arrange for peace on
the basis of autonomy being granted to
Cuba.

TRIES TO DROWN HIMSELF
John Howard Leaps From the Bridge Into
Anacostia River.

John Howard, forty-three years old, son
of Mrs. Howard who has meat stand
in the Eastern market, attempted to COM
NIT suicide early this morning by jumping
in the river from the Navy Yard bridge.
He was rescued by H. D. Bailey and Geo.
French, who have boat houses near the
bridge.
1t is thought that Ill health had affected
the mans mind to the extent that ne
hardly realized what he was doing.
Howard was seen to start across the
bridge from this side of the river about
1:15 o'clock. There was number of per-
sons on the bridge at the time some going
to Anacostia and others coming toward
the city. When Howard reached the chan
mel he stopped and looked in the water, as
If he had dropped something overheard.
After standing there for about a minute
he put his foot the rail and leaped
over. The splash was heard by persons
who were on the shore, and several pedes
trians cried Man overheard" Their calls
brought the two boatp1en, George French
and H. d. Bailey. to his aid. When they
reached the bridge the man was under
water, but in an instant he came to the
surface and went floating down the stream
without making a struggle. The men in
the boat soon overlook him and succeeded
in getting him in the boat, after consider
able trouble.
Not a word was said by Howard, who
was almost completely exhausted and ap-
parently almost unconscious. They soon
had him ashore, and then ne pointed to-
ward Anacostia, as his home, at the same
time saying 1t was northeast.
The boatmen knew he had come from tie
Washington side of the river and they
led him of up 11th street bareheaded. his
lat having fioated away He made a
slight struggle as though he wanted to
break away and make another attempt to
jump overheard. A policeman, who they
met, took charge Of him and sent him to
his home, No. S25 B street northeast in the
patrol wagon.
AS already stated. the unfortunate man
has been i'll for some months. Recently he
has been Respondent and has had out little
to say to other members of the family. He
left home early this morning to take a
walk, and his relatives were very much
surprised to learn of his attempt upon his
own life

for one or two artesian wells, this city is
without water. The continued efforts of
twenty men. who for two days and nights
have been dynamiting the Marmaton river
bed for water to supply the city, have
failed. and last night the water company's
pump house began drawing wind, and the
entire city supply was shut off. This con-
dition is unprecedented, and. unless the
men, who are still at work with dynamite
and powder, can bring water down from

This board under the law, is not bound

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
WILMINGTON, Del, November 22-This
city is filled with Pinkerton detectives who
have come here to shadow an alleged
gigantic filibustering expedition, which is
being formed here. The first hint the Span
ish.authorities received that any such move
was being made in this city was given
them last Wednesday, when they sent two
skilled men to this city to watch develop
ments. These men shadowed the resorts of
locll Cubans for three days, and on Satur-
day notified United States Marshal Julian
Cannon Short Of their discoveries and ap-
prehensions.
The information they gave the marshal
pointed to a plot to seize the famous fill
buster steamer Laurada, which has been
lying here since March, as a subject of ,liti-
cation. Acting on the Information of the
detectives, the marshal notified the Harlan
Il Hollingsworth Company, which, in turn,
selected twelva of it's employees, and had
them sworn in as deputy marshals, and
placed them upon the boat to guard it.
Each man was armed with revolver and
shotgun. The twelve deputies did not sleep
one winkall night. Six of them patrolled
the deck of the old steamer, guns in hand.
ready to shoot the first intruder The
other six wandered about the ship yard,
peerlnS into every corner in the hope of
discovering the persons implicated in the
plot.
Shortly after midnight several men how
cred about the western end of the ship
yard, but when they discovered the yard
was guarded they ran.
At o'clock this morning new corps of
Pinkertons arrived in the city. According
to the Information received by the federal
authorities here this morning, the plot to
steal the Laurada and run her out to sea
was concocted in New York by Cubans and
Cuban sympathizers. A well-drilled crew
mas been selected by those in the plot and
the federal authorities fear that another
attempt will be made to steal the vessel
and start another big military expedition
for Cuba aboard her
