Spain in Cuba.

The remark Of the President that
"our enemy is not troubling Us much
now" should be read with emphasis on
the now" He may trouble US good
deal before we succeed in getting him
out of Cuba OF course. there is a
probability that Spain is using her
strength in that island TO influence the
proceedings at Paris: and if Spain were
almost any other nation there would
be no doubt about her submission 10 the
American demand for the surrender Of
all authority and complete evacuation
within a given time. Being Spain and
desperate, holding out hopes to the peo-
pie Of retaining the Philippines. and
dreading the homecoming CT Blanco's
unpaid and disgruntled army. there is
hardly any rashness Of which she may
not be guilty.
There are nearly a hundred and fifty
thousand Spanish soldiers in cuba who
have a contempt for the Americans
General Blanco, in his bOastful procla-
nation. has maintained that Sasassa
surrendered prematurely and that the
army in Cuba could hold the island

bring. Urged by Madrid To postpone
the surrender Of sovereignty till the last
possible moment. and in any event TO
insist on SPANS right to govern Cuba
until the Paris treaty is effected. Blanco
may be capable of offering forcible re-
sistance TO American occupation. The
Evacuation Commission seems TO fear
this In all the weeks Of alleged discus
sion Of the questions of embarlSation
for Spain, our Commissioners have
never been positive in the fixing Of a
date even for the beginning. At first,
It is said, they agreed to Blanco's sug
gestion Of the last day Of February of
next year-seven months after the sign
ing of the protocol. The President hav-
ing vetoed that, they urged the Spanish
Commissioners to agree TO surrender
control Of the government by the mid
die of October, which the latter prompt
ly declined to do. 1t is believed the
President set the first of December as
the latest day for this ceremony. but
our Commissioners. fearful of provok-
ing open resistance only mentioned
that date tentatively. A later dispatch
says an agreement has been made for
January, but il must be approved by
Madrid. and approval is uncertain.
The situation is made the more
doubtful by the alleged contention Of
Sagasta that the protocol is not to be
construed literally; that it is not TO be
regarded as a definite statement Of
Spains concessions. 1t was he is said
to have maintained, a hurried memo
randum, forced by the pressure of cir
cumstances, and should have no other
force than to keep things as they were
until the final treaty. In other words,
the agreement to evacuate Cuba is bind
ing only on condition that other ques-
tions, notably those in relation to the
Philippines, are satisfactorily settled.
While it is highly improbable. it is not
impossible that Spain will attempt
to continue the government of Cuba
until the treaty Of peace is negotiated
and signed.

Captured Tobacco Not DutiubIe.

An interesting tariff question arising
from the war in Cuba was decided by the
chez. of the Cuban army, captured at
Mayari 100000 pounds of tobacco. 1t was
booty of war. Gen. Sanchez desired to
sell the tobacco in Santiago and distrib-
ute the proceeds among the soldiers. AS
Santiago is now an American possession
the question was asked by the War De-
partment whether Sanchez should BE- re-
quired to pay duty on the tobacco. I he
Treasury Department decided that as it
is Cuban tobacco to be sold on the island
of Cuba, and as Mayari will probably
soon be occupied by the Americans, it
would be proper not to draw any fine
lines of distinction, and Gen. Sanchez
may dispose OF his booty without paying
any tariff charges.

A N0Yel Scheme.
From the Philadelphia Record J

man in Roxborough has hit upon a novel ad-
vertising scheme. and hopes to get rich through
it. His idea is to supply prominent business
firms with stamped envelopes free OF charge. On
these envelopes will be printed the advertise
ments Of firms not in rivalry with those sup
Piled but in kindred lines OF business. Thus, the
envelopes given to tailor would be covered with
the advertisements of shoemaker hatter a
ha berdasher, and so on. The man calculates on
using an envelope inches by in size, to cost
him, completely printed and STAMPED. from SO to
81 thousand After leaving ample space for the
address, he will have at the top of the envelope
seven square inches Of advertising space, and the
same at the bottom with four more square inches
on each side or twenty-five square inches in all.
Charging 81 per square inch his profit per thous-
II more advertising space needed the entire
back OF the envelope could be used.

HIDING THE SICK LISTS.
Charges of Evil Health Conditions
in Porto Rico.

Charges of Evil Health Conditions
in Porto Rico.
The charge was made today that either
the War Department officials or the mill
tary authorities at Ponce are deliberate
ly concealing the true state of affairs as
regards the rapid increase of sickness
among the troops in Porto Rico.
Advices from there received through
the Red Cross and other reliable agen-
cies make startling revelations concern
ing the condition of the soldiers. 1t has
been stated by Red Cross agents, and
the statement remains undenied, that
out of 10000 troops in Porto Rico, more
than 1000 are in the hospitals, while
many others are so weak that they
should be under medical treatment.
1t is noticeable fact that the official
bulletins received and posted at the War
Department from Cuba always contain
figures showing the number of fever
cases and the total number of sick, as
we'll as the deaths. The bulletins from
Porto Rico of late contain only the names
of those soldiers who died.
1t appears, therefore, for some reason
lNJt the fOFlO flcdI SldllSllCS
are limited to the mortuary list.
Whether the cablegrams are censored
at Ponce or edited and blue penciled at
the War Department and the sick statis-
tics eliminated, is not known. 1t is one
of the secrets of the war
The fact remains, however. as report
ed by reliable Red Cross officers, that the
conditions in Porto Rico are very seri-
Gus and that fever, malaria, dysentery
and other diseases are making serious in
roads upon the men in blue; the sick
list is rapidly lengthening and the facts
are evidently being suppressed some
| where and by some official.
These reports state that the drinking
! water in Porto Rico is generally bad, the
| climatic conditions are enervating and
now that the rainy season is on, a great
er number of cases of sickness and
! deaths may be looked for.

COUNCIL WITH THE PILLAaERs.
An AmicabIe Settlement of the In

Walker, Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE hostile dele
gates to this afternoons council with
Commissioner Jones and other officials at
the agency have arrived. Their talk leads
to the belief that they have decided to
surrender the men wanted by the marshal.
The commissioner is confident that every
thing will be amicably settled this after
noon.
Gen. Bacon, however. is taking no
chances and has prepared for any emer-
gency. He has ordered a battery of quick
firing guns to re-enforce his troops here.
The evening times., 1898-10-14

1t is pity that, in his speeches, Mr..
Mckinley could not be at least as ex-
plicit on the Philippines question as the
plank on that subject in the platform of
the Saratoga convention which, 1t is be-
ieved, he inspired. On the contrary,
there is a chilling suggestion in what he
says, that he is trying to prepare the
country for a bitter disappointment. This
may mean that he is determined upon or
cannot help carrying out the Edmunds-
ireland protocol deal to surrender all of
the islands but Luzon. If this is not
what he means. it would be very well for
him to explain himself and disavow such
m intention, without loss OF time.

Stealing Democratic Doctrine.

We had supposed that every Republican in the
land looked upon tariff a national blessing, and
that the more any country has Of il the better
of il must be- II is a confession indeed when
an envoy of the present Administration reports
that tariff is not only a tax, but that it is a
disastrous tax to the people Of Cuba. The pro-
tectionists have already abandoned the "home
market idea and have of late been pointing out
the necessity of foreign markets for surplus
products. II the Democrats do not mind, before
they know it the Republicans will have stolen
their tariff doctrine altogether and will have
come out as the great free trade party Of the
country.
