RUMORS OF OUTRAGES IN CUBA
CONFLICTING REPORTS CON-
CERNING INSURGENTS.
Much Distress Among the Poor at
Havana-Thousands Are Fed By
the Free Kitchens.

Havana, via Key West, Aug. 22.-The
civil governor of Havana has received a
| telegram from the mayor of Nueva P;tz,
stating that the Diario de La Marina had
published letter from a correspondent,
! in which it was asserted that the in
surgents had committed outrages OF Vari-
Gus kinds. This the mayor declared to
be absolutely false. La Lucha will pub
lish denial of the report. The DIario
de La Marina sent special correspondent
10 investigate the matter and he con
hrms the story of the outrages and re-
ports many crimes committed by the in
surgents.
The situation at Havana remains the
same as during the blockade. Pro-
visions and other neceSsaries of life are
very scarce and prices continue high.
Ine colonial government imposed the
highest customs duties, which continue in
force, making prices higher and render
ing the situation of the poor very painful.
Inc Tree kitchens which have been eStab-
hshed IN Havana daily furnish about 30
900 persons with food: but owing to the
great number of poor in the city who are
without food OF any sort. the amount of
supplies handled by the Kitchens is quite
insufficient TO relieve the distress 10 any
great extent. Women and children lie
about the streets, pale and emaciated and
looking more like corpses than living
beings.
Considerable excitement and discomfort
exists among the insurgent sympathizers,
SOiAoSAiili SlIoHSly all the acts Oh the
colonial government, and many of those
sympathlZerS are leaving the cities and
towns to join the insurgents. During the
past few days hundreds of uniforms have
been sent to the insurgents from Havana
An immense majority of the Spanish
conservatives in the island and the ma
tlveS favor the annexation of the island
TO the United States which they consider
the only means of securing stable gov

public opinion apparently undergone such
a radical change as in Cuba. Even the

APPOINTMENT OF HAY
WHOLLY DUE TO HIS FITNESS
FOR THE PLACE.
Had No Reference to Any Special
Policy In the Far East-Growth
of Our Trade With China May
Necessitate Change In Policy In
the Future.

London, Aug. 22.-The Manchester
Guardian says:
I'VE understand that United States
Ambassador Hays recall to Washing
ton to accept the post of secretary of
state is due to his special fitness to
carry out a policy in regard to which
negotiations have been proceeding for
some time between Washington and
London, and upon which a substantial
agreement has been reached whereby
the two countries will act together in
the far east or wherever American and
British interests are identical. There
is no intention of binding the nations
in an alliance. Each is to be free to
pursue its own deStinieS in its own
way, but the governments will act to-
gether, automatically, where their
common interests are concerned"
Washington, Aug. 22.-It was stated
in an authoritative quarter that Mr..
Hays choice as secretary of state was
due wholly to his fitness for the posi-
ton
Beyond this. no official statement is
made as to the policy of the United
States in the far east, but all the indi
cations point TO a continuance of the
past policy of protecting and fostering
our commercial interests without en-
undertakings which entail Semi-politi-
cal considerations 1t is fully recognize
ed by the authorities here that the COM
mercial interests of Great Britain and
the United States are on somewhat
similar lines in the far east. and to
that extent there will doubtless be a
mutually of action, but it cannot be
learned that the negotiations between
Washington and London have advanc-
i - IS <tsaI- fv,or Of
joint action. 1t is a matter of current
comment, however, of unofficial char
acter, but expressive of a general cur
rent of sentiment in high quarters, that
the American trade in the far east is
in such giant strides that a
policy is likely TO be matured at an
early day suitable to meet the eXigen-
cies created by the partial dismember
ment of China by the spread of foreign
control over Chinese territory, cOnces-
siOns, coast ports and commerce gen
orally.
There is no doubt overtures have
been made to have the United States
take an active hand in Chinese affairs,
but so far as can be learned, this has
not led to a determination on a new
and more active policy toward the
orient, although it has served to call
attention to the great extent of our in

day. and permits granted to those who
desire to visit Ponce and other y)orts.
The Spanish authorities are doing
everything possible to preserve order.
One of the first necessities on the part
of the Americans will be a strong po-

There is great anxiety here regard

PASSING OF THE CAVALRY.
Mounted Infantry Likely to Succeed
Iancers and Hussar.

| There is a well-defined feeling in the
army that this war will mark the
passing of the cavalry. with all its dar-
ing exploits, and will leave in it's stead
nothing but a body of mounted infan-
try, which, while more effective, will
rob war of many romantic and exciting
charges and Incidents. From the time
of the famous charge of the light brig
ade at Balaklava down to the present
time, history has teemed with the eX-
PLOTS of the cavalry. The bard has
especially honored this branch of the
military service, and few songs of
heroic fights are to be found in which
there is no mention of the trooper.
Is romantic warfare to be abandoned,
and the heroic cavalryman, with all his
dash and bravery, to be relegated to
the background. while science pushes
to the front the prosaic infantryman
to make the charge at long range? So
it would seem, says the Chicago Even
ing Post, from the preparations of the
troops now being sent into the field.
In the expedition sent to Santiago de
Cuba under General Shafter, there
were a number of cavalry troops, but
they were a disappointed lot. They
did not like the idea of being deprived
OF their horses anu sent u CuDd 10
act as mere 'doughbOys." as the cav
alrymen on foot are regarded in the
army But while the excuse was given
that the government could not find
transports enough to permit the cav
airy to take horses it is only one of a
number of similar incidents tending to
prove that the cavalry, armed and
equipped as that arm of the service
has been in the past, is fast becoming
useless. and that it soon will be little
more than mounted infantry
With rapid-firing rifles in the hands
of a regiment of infantry, what show
would a cavalry regiment stand in
charge? In former wars the cavalry
would wait for the opportunity, try to
draw the fire of the opposing infantry
forces, and then dash across the field
at the enemy, and would try
to throw him into confusion, leaving
the work of following up the vantage
to the infantry support. The purpose
and object of this branch of the serv-
swiftly when it was least expected, and
thus carry the day by storm This
was possible when the old-time rifles
were in use. In the civil war, during
the first few years, few cartridge-firing
rifles We're in use, and even during the !
closing years they were limited in
and there was little oppor-
unity to test the strength of a cavalry
iorce in the face of these guns. The |
'apid- firing rife was not a feature in /
hat war. 1t was not tested until the /
war, when the Ger
