HAVANA, Aug. Tho managers Of all the
sugar plantations and farms In the provinces of
Santa Clara and MatanEos have received com
munications signed by tho chiefs Of the Spanish
columns operating In those provinces, asking II
tho owners are American citizens or Spanish
subjects. Most Of tho owners are absent from
their properties on account Of the war. Tho fact
Is much remarked upon that no manager has
been asked II tho proprietor is q foreigner. In q
general sense, or o subject of some other partlcu-
lar foreign country. but only IL he is an "Ameri-
can" Among the country people the impression
IL that tho property OF American citizens In Ma
the Spanish troops.
The Spanish authorities say In Havana that
the refusal, about n month ago. OF the Spanish
Government to renew tho "regium exequatur"
to Mr.. Madrigal, tho American Consular agent
at Sancti spiritus. was based upon information
received by the Government that Madrigal was
connected with the insurgents and was helping
their cause. Tho charge is absolutely void Of
truth, az MadriRal had done nothing other than
to protect tho rights Of American citizens. But
he was deeply hated by the Incorporating
Spaniards and the Spanish officials after no
reported to Consul General Lee the dlroful
situation Of the country people in Santa Clara
province and tho urgent need OF assistance for
some Americans among them.
A Spanish sugar planter OF Santa Clara prov.
ince. named Don Miguel Diaz, has published in
all tho newspapers Of Cardenas. Matanzas and
Santa Clara, in the form Of advertisements. some
paragraphs detrimental to the Americans. He
offers work on his properties to all Americana,
native or naturalized, ut 40 cents q day, and, ex-
planning his advertisements. he says that II any
one Of his laborers can make 81 a day, an Ameri-
can IL not worth moro than 40 cents. Senior
Diaz's pro-Spanish feelings lead him to cherish
the notion that the Spanierds are the greatest
workers on Garth, especially In the line OF farm
ing. But on Senior Diaz's own plantations the
Spaniards are represented only by . minority of
Galicians, the large majority of laborers being
negroes and Cuban p~uajiros.
| In the provinces Of Puerto Principe and San
tiago do Cuba, the amount of meney lost by
American sugar planters on account of Gen.
Weylers prohibition to grind Is now estimated
at $500 900. Much more money has been
lost by other foreigners. especially French. who
comprise the larger number OF sugar estate
owners In Santiago dc Cuba.
| The American sugar planters In the two above
mentioned provinces employed more than 5000
men on their estates, who are now starving and
concentrated as paciacos in the towns by tho
Spanish columns-
Nearly all the Americans have claims pre-
pared against the Spanish Government, tho
amount OF which that Government will not be
able to pay. probably. for q good while to come
on account OF its distressful financial condition.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-Proof positive that
the ammunition seized on the schooner Blanche
Morgan at Bridgeport, Conn.,. was not intended
for the Cuban insurgents has been given the
Treasury Department by the War Department,
and the vessel will be released from custody.
The ordnance officer on duty at the works OF the
American Ordnance Company at Bridgeport
and yice-President Very OF the company
have shown to the satisfaction of the
War Department that tho ammunition was
consigned to the army arsenal at Gov
ernor's Island. Additional proof vas contained
in a telegram from Governors Island saying
that the invoice for the CONSIGNMENT had been
received there. Acting Secretary Meikleiohn
directed that the consignment should be taken
In when it came. The ammunition consists of
2,750 rounds OF six-pounder which the Ameri-
can Ordnance Company is under contract to de-
liver to the ordnance officer ut Governors
Island.
Mr.. Meiklejohn has requested the Secretary of
the Treasury to release the vessel, and suggests
that II Mr.. Gage has any doubt about the good
could DO sent with the schooner to deliver the

board the schooner Blanche Morgan is intended
for the Army Department. He has not been so
advised and still holds the schooner. United
States District Attorney Comstock this morning
was ready to libel the cargo. and In that way
have the ownership determined. When the, re-
port came from Washington that the cartridges
were intended for the Government he stopped
all proceedings and left the city for his home in
Montville. Collector Goddard Is still firm In the
opinion that the cartridges were originally in.
tended for the Cuban insurgents He said to-
night:
There Is no doubt in my mind that the
cargo on board the Blanche Morgan was in
tended for the Cuban insurgents. After the
seizure the officials OF the American Ordnance
Company at Washington succeeded in having
the matter so fixed in Washington as to have it
appear all straight" Collector Goddard has
put extra men on the schooner tonight. He
says when she leaves the Fern will follow her.
and II she does not z. to Governors Island the
guns OF the Fern will sink her.
Tho schooner Blanche Morgan's cargo of am
munltion was consigned TO Governors Island.
Major Phipps said yesterday that he did not
know on Monday that there was anything on
the Morgan, for the island. He received yester-
day bills OF lading from the Winchester Arms
Company and the Union Metallic Cartridge
Company OF Bridgeport informing him of tho
shipment on the Morgan. He was authorized
by the authorities at Washington to receive the
goods.

HARRIrY FOR 4 COMPROMISE.
He Wants Pennsylrnnia Democrats TO Evads
the silver Issue.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 1O.-William F. Harrity,
former Chairman of the Democratic National
Committed and present member OF that body
from Pennsylvania, believes that the approach.
ing Democratic State Convention should adopt
a compromise platform. On this subject Mr..
Harrity says:
I'm my judgment this is n good time for the
Democrats TO get together. Tho restless, tho
disconnected and the bitter people will give tho
new national Administration a year. perhaps.
OF trial. and the fight may be expected next
year. when a Governor is to be elected, together
with a legislature that will name a United
States senator.
1T seems to me, therefore, that the wisest
thing for Democrats this year is to forget their
differences and come together on o platform on
which all can stand. The Maryland convcu-
tion. under the leadership Of Senator German.
who championed the lree-silver ticket last year.
a week ego adopted n compromise platform.
That seemed to mG to be the wise thing"

REVENUE CUTTER CADETS.
seven Named by Secretary Gage and Instructed
TO go on IA Cruise.

WASHINGTON. Aug. lo.-Secretary Gage to-day
named seven young men. after competitive cx-
animation by the Civil Service Commission. for
appointments as cadets in the revenue cutter
service and issued instructions for them to re-
port on the practice ship Chase at Baltimore for
a cruise to Europe. All vacancies have been
filed IN the service. and 1t is thought no further
appointments to the cadet grade will be neces-
sary for two years or more.
The young men. after serving two years at
sea. receive certificates OF graduation and then
are assigned to the rank OF third Lieutenant.
For years these officers were selected from the
Naval Academy graduates who failed to secure
commissions. but after the bitter fight made by
the navy against the cutter service becoming
IA part OF II. the Treasury instituted IA COMPETE
tive system for selecting cadets and educated
them on its own practice vessels.
