The two-story frame building on
Louisiana street, on the corner of
the alley, between Texas and
Milan street, is said to be an UNI
lawful house. The suspicion was
whispered to The Progress by a
gentleman of unimpeachable
standing, one who is not on the
hunt of lawlessness. For these
reasons The Progress calls on the
Mayor and Chief of police to make
q strong investigation. Lets stop
this favoritism which is sure to
beget corruption in Office.
The Progress has it that work
will soon be commenced on the

Russian embassy to The Turkish government
that Russia will demand the unpaid ARREARS
of the Russo-Turksh war Indemnity If the
porte applies any part Of the Greek war in
demnity to an increase OF Turkish arma-
ments, II is now pointed out that whcn,
some time ago, General Brlsimont submitted
to the porte plans for arming the forts at
the entrance OF the Bcsphorus, Russia init
mated that it would consider this a hostile
act. in Difference to the intimatouI then

HAVANA, Nov. 14-The Gazette will pub
lish tomorrow an edict OF the governor gen.
eral with respect to the supply of food to
the reconcentrados and to those discharged
as cured from the hospital. 1t will state
that it is impossible to renounce at present
the edict of concentration. as most of these
affected by it are homeless and destitute
of all means of livelihood, so that their con
dition would be made worse by an immediate
annulment. Therefore it is necessary to pro-
ceed with great care. Those having prop
erty will be allowed to return to the cOun-
try districts after obtaining permits from
the local authorities.
Property owners will be at liberty to pro-
vide themselves with the means of defense
and to use the revolver and the machete to
protect themselves, provided they have pre-
viously obtained a license.
Such reconcontradoes as are absolutely deS-
titute will remain in the towns under the
protection of local bureaus of charity, as
sisted by a state fund A junta of assist
ance will be formed at once, with branches
in the principal towns, under the direction
of prominent people, and full protection
will be extended to insurgents who sur
