 DEAR SIR:-We see by the newspa- pers that there is 8 probability of no River and Harbor bill being passed at this session of Congress, but that the present wants of such works are being provided for in the Sundry Civil Bill, and that this bill is now in the Senate. We do not know the financial condition for the next fiseal year of the permanent worK and snagging bills of the Arkansas river, but we consider it of the highest im- Dortanee that the former should not be permitted to deteriorate nor the latter to be unprovided for, and hence we ask that you will kindly see what our conditioa is and take such steps a5 may be practicable and necessary to protect the interests of our river.

posted in the streets OF the city. Sub.

The Saginaw was cast away in the
night upon one of the islands in the
Pacific about fifteen years ago. The
Huron was wrecked on Currituck
Beach, North Carolina, and few OF
her crew escaped to tell the story OF
heavy weather and false beacon lights.
This disaster at Havana is the great
est loss of life at any one time IN the
navy of the United States in time OF
peace on record. No ship of the navy
has blown up since the war. The last
great loss of life in our navy was at
Samoa, when in the great hurricane
of March 16, in the harbor of Apia,
the war vessels Trenton and Vandalia
were wrecked, and the Nipsic stranded
with total loss of fifty one lives from
their crews. The German ships Adler
and Eber were lost at the same time,
and ninety-six German sailors were
drowned.
On Nov. "a, Port, the American
sloop-of-war Huron, vessel of the
old wooden navy, was driven ashore
on the treacherous sands OF the North
Carolina coast in storm, and about
one hundred of her crew were lost.

what he says of the suffering there:
II was in Armenia with Clara Bar

in Armenia did ] see such suffering
and famine as I have witnessed in Cuba
among the pacifcos and reconcentra,
does. Men. women and children are
so emacisted from privation that the r
ribs and bones almost come through
their shriveled skins. If ever people
needed relief it is those wretched re.
concentrsd IS. The insurgents are
well dressed, well armed, well horsed
and well groomed-indeed they are
sleek, and 1--we easy lives. Cuba has
oeen laid waste. Outside the towns
one rarely sees a building, for the
reason that all buildings in the coun-
try have been razed or burned. Grass
and weeds grow There once the high
