STARVATION REIGNs IN HAVANA


Prices for Food Rival Those that OBJ
tain in the klondilke.
The city Of Havana is a sad sight.
There are still a few of the reconcentra-
dos about the streets now, but starvation
has ended the misery Of most of them, and
their bones have been thrown into the
trenches outside of the city. Starvation
now faces the Spanish citizens them
selves. Havana is a graveyard Two
thirds of the inha bitants have fled. The
prices rival those of Klondike Beef
steak is 81 a pound. Chickens are 81
each. Flour is $50 barrel. Every
thing is being confscated for Blanco's
army. Sleek, well-fed persons are daily
threatened with death to make them d.
vulge the wherea bouts Of their hidden
stores of provisions. Several provision
stores in the side streets have been brok-
en- into and looted.
Blanco has personally taken command
of Mariena battery, and is directing the
erection Of new sand batteries all along
the water front west of the entrance to
Havana bay. Lieut.. Gen. Perrado is
making Guanabacoa his headquarters,
and is planting new batteries and
strengthening the Notifications as much
as possible. Over 800 draymen are en-
gagged in the hauling of sand from the
mouth of Almandres for use in the con-

difficulty was in a mans temperament
and education. Only rare men, with
the shifting capacities Of Dr. Jeckyl
and MIR. Hyde, make these sudden
transmutations from bulls TO bears"
or vice versa.
The stock exchanges admirably illus
trate the influence of the Crowd" or
the course Of popular movements. The
great operators well understand how
men can be stampeded. like a herd of
horses or cattle, into a bull movement
1t is done in pretty much the same way
as the Indians start the stampede. 1t
has happened a thousand times on
every exchange, that a worthless stock
is put up to figures that are absurdly
high, simply by starting the crowd.
And the crowd consists of men who
claim to be clever, and often are very
capable 1t is the same mental mani
festatiOn exhibited occasionally by the
.'Dunkers," a very sober religious sect,
in the Virginia mountains and other
places. In moments Of religious frenzy
in their camp meetings, they imagine
that the Devil is near by, and they
chase him to the trees, and the cOngre-
CATION Of old farmers may be seen try
ing to climb the pine trees in order to
kill him in the tops. So men in the
operator crowd, will deal with their
own hard earned money, as if dollars
were merely beans and to be had for
the asking.
The ground swell of these movements
is optimism. which continues until it
is suddenly checked by fright, and the
bulls" sell out or are sacrificed, and
at once put for the woods. The old
experienced in working these STAN
pedes, understanding well the nature
of the crowd, give it some period Of
rest, and then start another bull STAN
pede.
The essential characteristics in all
speculatfons are the same, but the man
are varied by each particu-
lar case, whether it is stocks or grain
or cotton. or oil.
One of the very oldest of the veteran
stock operators said, that when the
market was wild, and the surging
crowd was buying everything in sight,
he noticed that each one of the null
titude claimed to be himself, very
calm and rational, and criticised the
rest of the crowd for it's loss of head.
When the cholera, or yellow fever or
stock gambling gets hold of a commun-
ity, or a class of men, Reason packs its
trunk and goes off for an outing. The
crowd feels like lynching it to the very
first lamp post it can find.

BULLS" AND BEARS"

The old Wall street operators say
that ont of one thousand men who
speculate in stocks, at least eight hun
dred of them are Optimists or bulls.
The other 200 or less are pessimists
or "bears" The operators in the grain
pits confirm this statement. The farm
ers who speculate in their own wheat,
or dabbIe in the grain market are
bulls" or optimists. The great major
itv of men who speculate in cotton are
bulls" The cotton planters as class
believe in a rising market, and gen
orally lose by it. The Rocky mountain
States are peopled with very many
thousands of unfortunate men, each
one of whom believes he will soon find
a rich gold mine. He too is a bull
in his disposition. While the bull
or optimistic feeling is to a large eX-
tent a matter of temperament, 1t is also
created by education and surroundings,
A bear or pessimist operates, or
makes his money out of declining mar
kets. 1t is in only a few articles that
the pear movement Ce'h DN Pr
Iy used. Specializing on depresslons
requires peculiar commercial condi-
tfons and arrangements. The bull has
an abiding faith that the price of his
purchase will always rise on his hands,
and that Providence will ring bell
when it is time to sell.
There are a few men of mixed tenn
permanent who are bulls and bears at
will. The late Jay Gould was one of
these. He firmly believed that wealth,
as a rule, was created by the Optimists,
who establish new enterprises, but he
said that the course of events showed
that prices were periodically rising
above true values and it invariably
gave the bears" a chance to make

COMMISSIONER BROWNS LETTER.

The valuable letter of Mr.. J. F.
Brown, published in these columns on
the 9th, should be circulated through
out the United States. It's semi-OfIicial
character gives it much weight. No
one, for moment questions, Mr..
Browns thorough knowledge of the
subject, and his impartiality.
Some of our authoritative publica-
lions during the last few years contain
statements which are not consistent
with Mr.. Browns statements. Too
many on the Mainland have been led
to believe that here is land flowing
with milk and honey. A statement
that tropical fruits grow luXuriantly
in the Hawaiian Islands" leads the ten
derfoot to believe that there must be
money in it, While these statements
have been published far and wide by
correspondents and in official dOcu
ments, another fact, namely, that our
local markets were supplied with
oranges, peaches, pears, grapes and
other tropical fruits from San Francis

stated. If it had been the person pro-
posing TO emigrate would naturally
ask the why and the wherefore.
AS Mr.. Brown says, the cream of the
Government lands has passed into
private hands, "and long leases have
been made covering the most valuable
Government and Crown lands
A pessimist viii see in these words
something something very
like a death kneli to any true Ameri-
can civilization here.
Here is an area of 5000 square miles
with a population of about 10000 Euro
peans, including Portuguese, and the
rest of the population draw back
as many pronounced Americans say, to
our civilization.
over against this is Porto Rico with
about one-half the area of these ISL
ands and population of $4,000, all
resident and fixed and not a draw
back" With these figures before us, |
the handful of our own highly civilized |
people contrasted with the half million |
in Porto Rico, Mr.: Brown tells us what |
the condition of our land system is, |
and with the raising of the flag, he is |
forced in the conscientious discharge
of his duty to shout over to the Main |
land a halt. and virtually tell the peo- |
pie who have been encouraged to be- |
lieve that Uncle Sam would give a
home to all that wished to live in this
Paradise, that the Paradise has the
blight of long leases over its best
lands.
The fact stated by Mr.. Brown that
$50 far as cane lands and sugar Gull |
tivation is concerned, there is practi- |
caIIy no opening except for large CAPT |
talists, and for few, if any of those,
may be complacently received by the
insiders, those who have shrewdly, and |
in accordance with law and usage, !
secured the only available lands Peo-
pie from the Mainland who are now
excluded may seek Cuba.
The vital, the important question is,
when will you, when can you, put the
average American farmer on these Isl
ands. he who in every stump speech
ON the Fourth of July is proudly called
the back bone" of the American ma
ton? This is the question of the hour,
and quite as important as the starting
of new plantations.
