NEW YORK. Jan. l3.-Tomas Estrada

written by General Maxine Gomez,
the rebel chief in Cuba, to Captain
General B.anco. The letter says III
part:
"Iou have come to substitute Wey.
Ter. 70 a man of your conditions l
would ask as l did in the case Of Gen.
eral Campos: What are YOU aims and
purposes: To exterminate us? 1t is
impossible to do that. and to pretend
such a thing would be little honor to
you. Is your purpose to subdue u?
That is absurd and might prove a ridicu.
lous attempt for you. Our determination
is well known and patent. Neither ex.
termination nor submission would mean
peace. In view of this fact, l now re-
peat to you, what l said to Can,pos,
Let this bloodshed be stopped. Let
the use of the torch cease, general
Spain should not allow Cuba to owe her
independence, directly or indirectly, to
outside help. Let the deep abyss be-
tween Cubans and Spaniards disappear
by Spain's recognition of the Cuban
republic. Then there shall be eternal
peace. Otherwise, there shall be blood
fire. That would be the command Of
our honor and dignity. We would fol.
low it until victory, which always
crowns those who fight for justice, set
ties our fate"

That was a "~knock-out' blow which
the Sioux Falls Press in its issue of the
1oth gave the Argus Leader in regard
to Brockway's confirmation for the
Chamberlain land office. The Argus
Leader had published dispatches pur-
porting to come through the Associated
Press from Washington to .he effect
that Senator Pettigrew was attempting
TO hold up Brockway's confirmation,
thereby expecting to create enmity in
Sioux Falls against Pettlgrew. The
Press suspecting the Argus-Leader's
dispatch to be a forgery made up at
home. telegraphed Senator Pettigrew at
Washington who replied promptly. Il
am not opposed, but in favor OF Brock
ways continuation The Press also
telegraphed the Associated Press. Chi
cago. asking if they had sem such a
dispatch as the Argus-Leader gave out.
They answered, NO. we did not send it,
Thus was the Argus Leader neatly
trapped in a dirty piece of work against
Senator Pettigrew and also ia a very
dlshonorable price, Of iournalism-manu-
featuring bogus dispatches. But this is
the old tactics Of the "Unreliable." as
the Sioux Falls Journal calls it.

Hon. Charles Russell Tells OF the Terrible
Conditions Prevailing.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-Hon. Charles
w. Russell, assistant United States at
torney in the department of justice, re.
turned during the day from Cuba.
where he has spent two weeks investi.
eating the conditions prevailing upon
the island. Mr.. Russell said: Il am
very glad to be interviewed on the sub.
ject Of Cuba, because l feel it a solemn
duty TO humanity to endeavor to make
the American people realize the terrible
distress which exists there. Much has
been written on the subject, but, judg.
ing others by myself, l feel quite sure
that because we do not com NIT, and
have not III our history committed. such
atrocities as Spain is committing on
that island, the American reading pub.
lie regard the reports as biased by the
preconceived opinions Of newspapers or
greatly exaggerated.
Il spent just two weeks in Cuba. l
visited Havana, went south to Jaruco,
southeast to Gulnes, northeast to Ma.
tanZas, eastward about 200 miles
through the middle OF the country to
San Domingo, Santa Clara and Sagua
la GIande. At every point visited the
spectacle was sickening. Rcconcentra-
does are numerous every where, and
men, women and children, emac;ated to
skeletons and suffering from diseases
produced by starvation, We're visible on
all sides. The situation is truly ter.
rible.'
