Though Proctors report was made
without any attempt at sensation, it
confirms the worst that has been told
about the suffering in Cuba. 1t will
have a powerful effect in fastening the

Senator Proctor on Cuba.

If any doubt existed as to conditions
in Cuba-and in view of the many con-
flicting reports it is not strange that
the public mind was uncertain just
what to believe-the whole was made
as clear as day by Senator Proctor's
speech in the Senate last week. He
had just returned from a tour of OBJ
servation to the island, taken to sat
isfy himself. There he was afforded
every opportunity of learning the ex-
act truth. The Spanish officials showed
him due courtesy and stroye to hide
nothing from him. Our own consuls
gave him all the information they
possessed He met Cubans and heard
their story, though he did not enter
the lines of the insurgents. More than
all this he travelled several hundred
miles over the island, making observa-
tons of his own. As he is man of
rare judgment, he could not fail to ar
rive at conclusions that are of the ut
most value to the people of this coun-
try, and, indeed, to the whole world.
These he made public in a carefully
prepared speech which everyone
should read.
In brief, he said that of the six
provinces in Cuba the insurgents al
ready control the two eastern, except
few fortified towns. In the others
the control is disputed. The Spaniards
hold the principal towns and the Gu
bans roam about. picking off the troops
whenever opportunity offers. Every
town is fortified in feeble way, not
more to keep the Cuban soldiers out
than to keep the so-called ''reconcen
tradosr in. These latter were the
peasants and their families who for
merly carried on the fertile planta-
tions. Under Weyler's order, they
were compelled to leave their homes,
usually without being able to carry
anything of material assistance with
them, and concentrate in the large
towns. Their homes were despoiled
and destroyed. The whole region has
been utterly laid waste, save the towns.
In them the reconcenuados. deprived
of all opportunity to earn a living,
have suffered and are sufferine-those
who survive-beyond all power of de
scription. Good judges told Senator
Proctor that not less than 200.0 nom
combatants, mostly women and chill
dren, had persisted already OF hunger
and disease. The Spaniards viii not
let them return to their homes and |
either will not or cannot supply their
wants where they are. Thousands /
still remain in this pitiable condition.
As to the result of the war, Mr. /
Proctor could see no prospect of its
speedy termination, one way or the
other. The Spanish scheme of auton-
omy, he found to be an utter failure.
Neither the Spaniards OF the Cubans
favored it. 1t came too late to be of
any service. He could see no end to
he struggle if the combatants were al
owed to continue their mode of war
are, save the utter humiliation of all.
The Spanish troops have been reduced ]

\ GOOD PROSPECT.

The success of the boring for wa
ter at Kealia. Kauai, shows how the
scientists may be wrong at times. 1t
is well known that scientific opinion
was asked upon this point some years
ago, and that reply was received hat
precluded any hope of an artesian flow
on the plantation. Practice against
theory has proved that water flows
abundantly and is of superior quality
to any that can be obtained in the vi
entity, and that it will, since 1t is so
pure. be invaluable to the diffusion
plant in the mill.
But the lesson at Kealia is one that
should be taken to heart by other PIN
ces. Molol<ai and Lanai only await
the vivifying touch of capital and er-
ergy to show that the theorists are
wrong and that water can be obtain
ed there. which will make the barren
lowlands bring forth their increase.
and yield a living to the laborar. and
profit to the capitalist. There Is lit
tie doubt but that the same conditions
occur on both these Islands. The
high mountain mass is there. the rain
fall is there, and the reef is there.
Given these and there is every reason
to think that the water will come bulb
bling up when it is tapped.

ing to be H.li Tonight.
NJ. H. Sexton aad L. G. Eddy
received telegram from Presi-
dent Hickey of the Western
Baseball association this morning
stating that the franchise heretofore
held by Rockford would be trans.
ferred to Rock Island as soon as the
forfeit money Of $3.50 was placed in
his hands. While those in charge Of
the local movement are prepared to
make the deposit asked for. Mr.. Sex
ton says they do not care to assume
the responsibility until they know
exactly if all the o. r cities have
done likewise. Mr.. Hickey when
here exhibited the certified drafts
from two Of the cities, and there is
probably no doubt as to the position
Of the other clubs, but Rock Island ia
going among strangers and it is
proper to act with discretion.
Those in charge of the Rock Island
baseball enterprise have wisely de-
cided to give Moline a chance to Join
hands, as was the case in former
years. when baseball prospered here,
and the team triumphed. This de-
cision has been reached in view OF
the expressed desire of a mum Der OF
Moline citizens to have that city In.
cluded. 1t is believed that an
arrangement can be reached that
will prove mutually advantageous.
l.. &. Eddy received a note this
morning from Manager Varney S.
Anderson, Of the Rockford club, stat.
ing that he was ready to negotiate
with Rock Island with a view to
bringing the club there to this city,
but that it was desirable that a de.
cision be reached here as soon as
possible. as he and seven OF his bes,
players had received offers to 20
elsewhere.
Tonight another meeting of those
interested in the team here will be
held in Turner hall. Subscriptions
continue to come in satisfactorily,
and all prospects are so IA.
vorable that it is believed
all arrangements as to forfeit, etc.,
will be satisfactorily disposed of.
From the Other CITIES.
The other cities throughout the
Western association now through
their local papers admit that it is
practically settled fact that Presi
dent Hickey will transfer the Rockford
franchise to this city. A dispatch
from Rockford to the Chicago Chron
icle in history of the trouble tina
led to the dropping of the city refers
to the city as having been finally
turned down.
