sumed command Of the insurgent froces
in Plnar del Rio province. The rebel
army of the province is being thorough
ly reorganized and put In fighting trim

if the latter succeeds in reaching Ha-
vana province,
The Spaniards have destroyed num-
ber Of small forts because they cannot
spare men to garrison them. An en-
gagement took place this week near
Artemlsa, In which the Spanlards lost
heavily. over four hundred sick and
wounded men have been sent on to
Havana. In Matanzas town there are
over 5000 concentrates, of which over
fifty die every day.
The Spanish troops have been ordered
not to eat inangos, but they disobey the
order because they have nothing else
for food. Mango diet aggravates fever.
During the last ten days over 500 SOL
dlers were taken to the hospital there.
The Spanish mail steamer leaving
Havana yesterday carried one thousand
sick soldiers, many OF which will die
on the way home. Eleven thousand
sick soldiers have been sent to Spain
since January /.

A local paper published chiefly in the
interest OF the merchants in Havana,
makes a savage attack upon DR.. Brun-
ner, the acting sanitary inspector ap-
pointed by the United States govern
ment, because he has reported that the
importation Of sugar from certain
warehouses here might be responsible
for an outbreak OF yellow fever or
small pox In the United States. In an
interview had with him, Or. Drummer
stated that his reason for making the
report was that tho sugar was shipped
from warehouses that had been used as
hospitals for fever and smallpox pa
tients. The soldiers In many instances
utilized the sugar sacks for bedding and

HAWAII is practically owned by sixty
millionaire sugar which may
account for the coincidence of past and
present annexation movements with the
vagaTios OF tariff legislation affecting su-
gar. When the advantages enjoyed by
these sixty millionaires in the American
market under the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty were in effect nulified by the Nc
hIniey tariff, which placed all raw su-
gar on the free list, they perceived that
annexa IN would he a short cut to the
bounties granted by the same tariff law
to domestic sugar growers; hence. the
annexation scheme of 1898 Now that
raw sugar has again been subjected to a
heavy duty, and the abrogation of the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty seems pro-
bable, annexation again would be prof
table to the sixty parties in interest by
bringing their plantations within the
protected area of the Union. The con-
nectlon between the Hawaiian furore for
annexation ana the interests of the Hon
oIulu Sugar Ring is manifest. Sugar is
