together near the towns held by the
Spanish troops, for nearly all the coun-
try homes and peasant huts have been
destroyed by fire, and the soil of the
country hats been laid bare.
The Spanish authorities are seeking to
solve the question to the best of their
ability and are making endeavOrs to give
able-bodied ''reconcentradoes" work and
are trying to succor those who are too
weak to do anything for themselves, but
it must be admitted that very little i'll
this direction can be expected of the
Spanish government when it is remem-
bered that the authorities are eight
months in arrears to the soldiers and
experiencing the utmost difficulty in
providing food for the armies in the
field.
Under these circumstances there is on
ly one way open to succor these destitute
people and that is to appeal to the
charitable women of Cuba for aids and
to ask the international Red Gross
Society to take the matter in hand. But
here again, the pride of the Spaniards
bar the way, and it is likely that the
distressing affairs existing in Cuba will
continue until some humane movement
arises in Europe and in the United
States and make a determined effort to
assist those whose only crime it is that
they are compelled to obey the orders
Of those in authority. The Spaniards
in some cases go even further than this
and take the ground that the Red
Cross movement should be started in
the United States, adding that as it is
from the United States, the insurgents
receive their aid, so it should be from
the United States that the movement
in behalf of the suffering of both sides
should come.

Our fellow tOwnSman, Francis Palmer
is probably a little wiser than he was IA
week ago, but this bit of wisdom cost
him all it was worth.
a pleasing and interesting individual
giving the name of Patrick Roach,
called upon Mr.. Palmer last week, and
represented himself as an eX-cCnductor
on the Ann Arbor road. y friend of
Roach's, who was a brakeman on the
same road, had fallen under the cars
recently near Thompsonville, and both
hands were cut off by the train. The
company had offered him a mere pitt
ance III compensation for the loss of his
hands. but he had refused it in scOrn.
Roach wanted to bring his unfortunate
friend to Gratiot county, where ms
parents lived and then employ Mr. Pal
mer at good pay to bring suit against
the road. 1t is needless TO say that
Roach was smooth. He was very
smooth. He was educated, and knew
all about the road he had worked for,
Anybody would trust him. But there
was just one thing he lacked, and that
was few dollars to get his friend dow
here with. The obliging attorney will
ingly advanced the money, borrowing
from a brother barrister what little was
needed to make up the deficiency In
return for the favor Roach gave a forty
dollar check on the Ann ArbOr road, as
a retainer. Mr. Roach has a few dollars
and the satisfaction. Mr. Palmer a
bogus check and the experience.
