HYATT CUT THE RED TAPE.
Fed the Starving Cubans When
Clara Barton Failed.

New York, Sept. 20.-When Stephen
Barton, chairman of the Central Cuban
relief committee and chairman OF the
Red Cross executive committee, returned
from a vacation TO his office III this city
he learned that during his absence Chas.
A. Schirel, the treasurer OF the American
National Red Cross, and Red Cross Agent
HYATT at Key West had solved the knot
ty problem OF supplying the Cubans with
provisions problem which has proved
too difficult for Miss Clara Barton and
which caused her to give up her work III
Cuba and return to the United States.
Miss Barton, it will be remembered,
was told she could not land cargo OF
supplies in Havana without first paying
a duty of 100000 to the Spanish author
tiles. She refused TO do this and return
ed to Florida, bringing some OF her sup
plies with her. Leaving these to be dis
tributed among the refugees, she went to
her home in Washington and has been
there ever since.
Red Cross Agent Hyatt, however, was
not to be intimidated by the big demands
of the Spaniards, nor held in check by
mere formal thing like Il protocol. He
learned that the Cubans were starving
faster and faster, and he informed MIR.
Bartons officers that he could get the 100
tons of supplies ON the Nokomia into Gu
ban ports if he had the authority to do
so. Mr.. Barton being away, the matter
was referred to the treasurer, Mr. Schlrel
Mr.. Schirel thought it would be all right
to help the Cubans and told Hyatt to 80
ahead.
Agent Hyatt went ahead. In the name
of the National Red Cross, and backed mp
by Schirel, Mr.. Hyatt proceeded to carry
out Mr. Mckinley's policy of humanity
for Cubans by sending goods into small
Cuban seaport towns Unfortunately his
methods were OF a sort not wholly sane
toned by publicists Mr. Hyatt had done
business in Havana and the smaller sea-
coast towns. He knew his ground and he
went at this work in a businesslike way.
He did not consult Miss Clara Barton or
else except Mr.. Schirel.

A Startling Theory,

London, Sept. l9-David Christie
Murray publishes in morning paper a
story regarding the Dreyfus affair. The
author vouches for the truth of the story
but declares he can not disclose the source
from which he obtained his information.
The article states in part that Dreyfus
was engaged as a spy in the employ Of
a secret department of the French army
against those suspected of tratficking
with Germany and other powers. His
zeal, so the story goes, led him to become
the victim of revenge on the part of
Colonel Henry, Count Esterhazy and
Colonel Patty du Clam, who themselves
were concerned in the reasonable prac-
tices.

THE TERRITORY OF HAWAII

ing Badly.

Honolulu, Sept. Il Via San Francisco.
American soldiers in Honolulu are
causing the people of this community
much worry. Acts of vandalism are be-
coming frequent, and General King has
issued orders for court OF INJURY to IN
vestigate the alleged lawless acts COM
mitted by soldiers and assess the amount
of damage. The Chinese fruit growers
and vegetable gardeners have been for
the most part the victims of the soldiers,
and their gardens have been raided and
destroyed.
The Hawaiian archipelago is now the
military district of the Hawaiian depart
ment of California. The order creating
this district, dated September 4, has just
been promulgated by Major General Mcr-
riam.
The Hawaiian commission has been
holding daily sessions, but nothing IS
given out for publication. The commits
sion will probably not leave for San Fran
cisco before September 20.
Senator Morgan is quoted as saying;
81 am inclined to think you will have
only territorial government at present.
The United States will, of course, take
charge of the custom house and postal
department, but in all other matters you
will be your own masters. You will make
your own laws, subject to the approval of
congress. The territory of Hawaii has
great future before it

\ long line of curious incidents to
which one of the great European powers
has been a party has beyond question
done much to cause feeling of uneasi-
ness on the part of the administration as
tending to show purpose to interfere in
our free action in the Philippines, and
these have only been slightly diminished
by an apparently frank disclaimer of any
Interior purpose, because the incidents
continue to occur quietly and in man
ner calculated to avoid attracting atten-
ton. Such for instance is the gathering
of naval vessels to the south of the Phil
ippines, the only explanation of which is
a purpose of acquiring either by seizure
or by some secret compact with the Span
ish government, the important island Of
PalaWan.
1t is gathered that it is the purpose Of
the president to prevent the alienation by
Spain of any of the Philippine group, and
these preparations, naval as well as mill
tary, are but step toward the execution
of this purpose. With the addition to the
fleet of the two battleships, we will have
a force only second to that of Great Brit
ain in eastern waters, while on shore Otis
will have more numerous army than
any European power save Russia.

ill from eating canned beef at a church

The ladies of the Presbyterian church
gave a supper and about $50 guests were
present, all of whom had supper and par
took of canned beef. So far 50 cases of
poisoning have been reported and in each
case it has been learned the patient had
eaten OF the beef. Some were violently
i'll, and it was thought at one time that
at least a dozen would succumb to the
poison. Steps are being taken to make
a rigid investigation into the food, the
doctors believing either the meat was dis
eased or the combination of tin and beef
resulted in poisoning.
