Starve to Death, or Rob!

WAsiIINGrON, Nov. 4.-'Thc following
letter from Lieut.. Col. Carb0nne, of
the Cuban army now ut Havana, has
been received by Secretary Qucsada, of
the Cuban delegation here, who has
laid it before Secretary Alger, with in
urgent request that steps be taken to
relieve the extreme distress it sets
forth. Lieut.. Col. Carbonnc is the iE
vcntor of the explosive known us ear
bonite, and is regarded us the repre-
sentative at Havana of the Cuban
leaders and forces in the field. lie
writes as follows, the letter bearing
date OF Havana, October %:
81 am just back from the camp of
Gen. McnOcal, chief of our army in
this province, and let me tell you in
some faint way the true state of our
poor and suffering army, and the con-
sequences that may come to the coln-
try II we do not find in IL short time IL
remedy which will save us. The
Cuban army is dying with hunger.
Such terrible words in no way exag-
gcrate the actual conditions. Gen.
MenOcal took me to see his weak, tot
tering and sQualid soldicrs-mado so
on account of the want of food and the
actual necessaries of life-and to think
that these men were in such state by
reason of Obeying their chiefs, who de-
sire first of all to respect the orders Of
the American Government. The Cuban
leaders in camp told me to tell you that
they will maintain resignation and pa
ticnce, and, above all, faith in the
American Government and the worthy
President Mckinley, but at the same
time let it be understood that we are
hungry; that we have in the towns and
fields of Cuba I'LL that is needed in the
way OF food, but that we arc forbidden
to touch it by reason of The peace
order. They do not get from Havana
One-fOurth of what they need, and our
soldiers are dying at the gates of the
city for lack OF food. What shall we
dOY Tie time will come when we can
not bear it any longer, and then what
WILDE the result? I returned discon-
solate to Havana and tried to get sue
cor, but the people are already so poor
that obtained nothing. We went to
the American commission, which re-
cciyctl MS very we'll and offered us
much, but UP to the present time they
have given lis nOthing. II by misfor-
time we are driven by the necessities
of our army to get by force what we
need SD as not to die of hunger will
the people of the United States CON
denim us, or will the nations of the
world, which do not know what is hap
pcning, judge lis unworthy of the SYM
pathy Of the American people? We
are very happy to hear your ass,lran-
ccs rs to our Republic. We have never
doubted the good faith and generosity
of the United States. To it we owe
the complete liberty which we have
been unable in many years to establish
by ourselves"

into the matter and telegraph

petersburg Index-Appeal.)


1t is a perversion Of history, unques-
tionably, to say that jefferson, or any
American in Jefferson's day-he died in
1S2i-favored the acquisition OF territory
not contiguous TO this Continent. The
teachings were to the contrary-aH or
them. So thoroughly were the minds of
public men of his time against interior
ence with affairs abroad, that the fact OF
our perpetual abstinence therefrom was
held 10 be a strong argument in support
Of our right to maintain the ideas en-
bodied in the Monroe doctrine.
AS the country has become popIl Gus,
and interests and conditions have
changed. it has been found possible TO
quote Jefferson and other OF the fathers
on different sides of current questions,
but no one produces line from any OF
them that favors or suggests the change
now urged; and it would have been spe-
cially repugnant 10 Jefferson, because IL
makes necessary the government OF mil
lions OF men without their consent, at
the polls, because IL calls for an enor-
nous navy and a great army, and be-
cause II threatens us with endless con-
tentions with other nations. 1t has been
said lately that the times have so changed
as to make that expedient and necessary
now that seemed otherwise 10 the men or
three generations ago. However this may
be- the fact OF advancing such theory
takes Jefferson out OF the argument, so
far as his name has been used to favor
the proposed scheme Of national aggran-
diZement.

GeOrg Ebers.
RhiladeInhia RacnrdA

The death of Georg NJ Ebers will oc-
casion widespread regret for the loss Of
the novelist rather than OF the Egyptolo-
gist Despite his professional career and
MS triumphal discovery OF the now IA
nous Ebers papyrus, his greatest work
mas neen as master OF antiquarian fic-
tioh. III Is the fashion TO decry his ro-
mances as being devoid Of poetic imagi-
nation and lacking in the true depletion
OF human character: and IL is no doubt
true that on the antique stage. perfect In
every detail. which his learning con-
structed. he introduced nothing but
worthless puppets. Vischer, In his "Auch
Elmer" has delightfully."- parodied this de-
feet OF Ebers. Nevertheless. high praise
must be accorded to the mastery style
in which the erudite novelist correlated
his fund OF ancient fact and set II forth
IN an impressive whole for popular COM
prehension. Lepsius was provoked that
his brilliant disciple should stoop 10 novel
writing; but thus Ebers became the
greatest teacher OF the masses among all
the antiquarians. And while his work
has no invuinerabie and immortal part,
still. for many long day. readers will
yet enjoy his Egyptian Princess"
"Uarda." and Homo Sum"--the last be-
Ing, perhaps. his masterpiece. His work
was already done Having deserted Egypt
Tor Nuremberg Legion and the isles OF
Greece. he had become vapid. totally artl-
icial. and unworthy Of his former rank.

Life-Belts I'm an Emergency,
Westminster Gazette1

NNNSbAAillohtE ddLelle.)
In the accounts Of the Bourgogne disas-
ter, It was stated that many Of the pas
sengers allowed their life-belts TO slip
down TO their legs, with the result that
their heads were forced under the water.
In reference TO this melancholy incident.
a representative OF the Westminster had
a conversation with Mr.. Dibdin, the Sec
rotary OF the National Life-Boat Institu-
ton Mr.. Dibdin stated that the life-belt
must be secured firmly TO the body, or it
was very likely TO slip down to the legs
And when this had occurred the life-b
must be got rid Of as quickly as possible
o. II would force the head of the strong
est swimmer under the water. II, how
ever, the belt Is confined very closely
around the body, the pressure materially
affects the free action of the lungs. and
impedeS the muscular movement OF the
chest and arms.
In the case Of lifeboat men, who ALWAYS
undergo their severe exertions with life
belts round them, this matter is OF great
Importance. To meet this difficulty, the
National Lifeboat Institution has con-
structed belt in two zones-an upper
and lower. Between these two zones
is leather girdle, exerting the same
pressure on the body as a cricket or
keep the whole life-belt in position with
out greatly interfering with respiration
or muscular movement. For the good
lady who. during every night OF voyage
to Australia, insisted on wearing her life
belt, for fear of a wreck" such free
dom as this would be a considerable boon.
1t is stated to be common thing
for people in the excitement Of shipwreck
10 leave their life-belts behind them in
their mad rush for the deck. While this
remains the case, even the ingenious belt
Of the National Ldfeboat Institution will
be Of no avail.
In connection with the question of life
belts, correspondent writes: ION a
acknowledgements night in the middle

in the path of this ship a ter
'ible danger appeared. Just ahead OF her,
without warning the ocean opened, the
hip fell into the gulf. and the waters
covered her. From stem to stern the
hip trembled; nightly food poured into

treat struggle with the sea: but then.
With bound. the vessel came again to
