Taking Measures for the Relief of
the Destitute Thousands of COncen-
TRADES,

Havana, November 1.-THE Gazette
Will publish tomorrow an edict of the
Governor General with respect to the
supply of food to concentrates and the
treatment of those discharged as cured
from the hospitals. This will state
that it is impossible to annul at once
the edict of concentration, as most of
those affected by it are homeless and
destitute of all means of livelihood, so
that their condition would be made
worse by an immediate annulment. 1T
is, therefore, necessary" the edict will
declare, ito proceed with great care"
Those having property will be at lib
erty to return to the country districts
after obtaining permits from the local
authorities. Property owners will be at
liberty to provide themselves with the
means of defense and to use the revolver
and the machete to protect themselves,
provided they have previously obtained
a license.
Such concentrates as are absolutely
destitute will remain in the towns, I'M
der the protection of the local bureaus
of charity, assisted by a state fund. A
junta of assistance will be formed at
once. with branches in the principal
towns, under the direction of promin-
ent people; and full protection will be
extended to insurgents who surrender"

RECOMMENDATIONS
Regarding the Army Made by Adjutant
General Breck.

General Breck
Washington, November 14.-Adju-
tant General Breck, in his report to
Major General Miles, calls attention to
the heavy draft that is made on the
effective strength of the army by de-
failing officers to colleges and military
schools, and suggests that there be no
increase in this direction. He says
the services Of artillery officers are
much needed in their regular duties.
Land for minor tactical exercises
and rifle ranges is needed at all caval-
ry and infantry posts.
Gen. Brock recommends two addi-
tlonal regiments of artillery and two
companies to each regiment of in
fantry.
The character of the enlisted men
is higher and assertions are lower.
The post exchanges continue to prove
satisfactory. He also commends the
postgraduate schools, lyceums, gym
nasiums and physical training require
ments. He says there should be adopt
ed a high plan of instruction at the
post; schools for soldiers.

GROWN PRINCESS
KISSED.
She Was Jeered on the Streets
by the Crowd.

London, April 3o.-The
Standards correspondent at
Athens says: Last evening as
the Crown Princess Sophia
was returning from a visit to
the ambulance hospital she
was Kissed and jeered by the
crowd, which forced her to re-
turn to the hospital. The
royal carriage was then sum-
moned and the princess drove
to the palace at the top speed
of the horses.
The royal arms have been
stripped from the carriages in
order that the occupants may
drive about unrecognized and
thus avoid similar experiences
AS another indication of
popular feeling | may point
out that many of the trades
men who have been wont TO
display the royal escutcheons
in front of their shops have
removed them.
While a priest was offering
prayers for King George and
the royal family in one OF the
most prominent churches to
day friday he was interrupt
ed by protests from the con
gregation. The ringleader
was arrested. but the disorder
was SO great that women

WHEN GRANT WAS POOR.
A Time In His Career when He Needed

A Time In His Career when He Needed
the Wherewithal-
General W. n L. Barnes one of the
leaders Of the San Francisco bar, at
meeting of the California commandeIy
of TIE Military Order of tie Loyal Lee
gion, told the following story about
General Grant It was told years ago to
General Barnes by Captain Richard L.
Ogden, once a clerk IN the office Of the
United States quaTter7naster at San
Francisco, and General Barnes recently
COPIED it from Captain Ogden's diary.
It was that when Grant resigned his
commission as captain, at the age of 80,
being then in Oregon, he went to San
Francisco on his way home and present.
ed TO Captain Ogden a certificate of per
diem service on court martial amount
ing TO about $40. The certificate was in
correctly drawn, and Grant with lock
of despair asked Captain Ogden's per
mission to sleep on the lounge in the
latter's Office, saying he had not cent
to his name. he slept On the rickety
Office lounge, and Ogden agreed to cash
the certificate personally and 70 send It
back 40 Oregon for correction Grant
had expected to buy passage for himself
co New York in the steeraSe, but Ogden
went with him to the Pacific Mail
steamship Office and procured for him
cabin passage pass, or what was the
nearest TO it the steamship company
could give, for Grant had to pay his
railroad fare across the isthlnns. This,
however, left him s15, and Grant was
very grateful.
The diary quotes him as saying TO
Captain Ogden: "Tlis is a great luxury
and what did not expect, and am in
debted to you for it. The prospect of
ever being able to reciprocate is GER
tainly remote, but strange things hap
pen in this world, and there is no know

woman to be done up The 'washlady'

SHE'S WELL EDUCATED.
A woman WAC Has Learned Entirely By
Careful Listening.

Careful Listening.
The wonderful development of certain
faculties IN the csses of persons who
have lost the use of some of their natural
functions, or of others whose faculties
have not been fully developed. has long
been matter of remark, but it is not
alone the outside observers who appre-
ciate the provisions Of nature for the
benefit OF the unfortunates. The suffer
ers themselves often appreciate this full
", and in some instances, after years,
grow TO depend so much upon their &C
quired faculties as to be afraid of
change, even If they nave the chance OF
one
An illustration of this is given by a
woman in Brooklyn who never has
learned TO read or write. In no way
could one discover this except by her
own admission or by putting her to q
direct test, for she is one of the best ed
ucated women in the country, CONVEX.
SAINT with languages, art, literature and
all the current topics of Tie day. She is
rich, too, and could afford all the serv-
ices of the best teachers if she but chose
to learn to read, but she refuses to do so.
When this woman was a child, her
parents lived far from schools, SO she
had no chance then to learn to read or
write. AS a mere child she began to
earn her own living, and again the
chance for schooling slipped away. Then
she married and the cares of a family
took up her time. By the time the ba-
bies were of her hands, her husband
had grown rich, and then she began her
real education, and now, as widow,
she continues it Her companions read
to her and talk with her about all the
topics which interest her. Years of such
work have stored her mind with rich
treasure of knowledge, and there is not
a page of a book that has been read 20
her that she is not familiar with. Her
stores of knowledge ale at her instant
command Why viii she not learn TO
read? Because, she says, she fears that
this wonderful memory, which is now
such a treasure house TO her, might be
impaired if she were to do anything to
weaken the demands upon it.
What such a memory can DO Is well
illustrated in the case of tailor of this
city who cannot read or write. He is
probably the most widely known man
in his business here, as for many years
he has done business with New York's
f1remen and policemen. Almost every
man of these two bodies has dealings
with this tailor, and each month be-
tween the first and the tenth days he
visits every station house and engine
and truck house in this city to collect
his dues. He has acquired considerable
wealth, and it is said of him that in all
the years he has dealt with the fremen
and policemen he never was known to
make mistake of cent in any mans
account, although all his records OF
transactions have been kept in his head.
