is more exacting than ever. and any news which he allows to be cabled is strictly official.
 The Pals, organ of the autonomist party. says great misery prevails at Matanzas, Cardenas and other towns on account Of the scarcity of provisions and that the country people are now in worse condition than ever before.
 All sorts of misleading rumors are in- tentionally circulated by the Spanish ofi- cials here for their own purposes and the tales of Spanish repulses of Americans come in almost at regular intervals and from nearly every point about the block aded portion of the coast. to say nothing of the stories of brilliant Spanish victories which are said to have reached here from abroad.
 Of course, the greatest interest is, taken here in the approaching meeting between Spanish and American fleets in these wa ters. The fleet from Spain is expected at almost any moment and Is being constant ly watched for Day and night signals are ready to guide 1t safely into harbor. It is expected that the result of the battle will decide the war in favor of Spain. and it is impossible to make the Spanish doubt the eventual triumph of the yellow and red flag of their country. The Spaniards re- gently tried to construct a fort at La Car bamera near Matanzas, but were prevented by the fire of some American we--''ns which destroyed the works every time the Spanish soldiers were seen engaged upon them.

TRUSTING NEGROES
 BADLY DUPED
Took Advantage of Excursion Rates to the Congo Free
 States, But the Train Didn't Start.

The credulity of the negro Is proverbial, especially in colonization schemes to take them back to Africa.
 Such scheme has been successfully worked In this district by R. H. Strickland, a negro who Is said to have served a term in the penitentlary.
 It Is said that Strickland has. during the past few weeks, made a thorough canvass of the mining district, interesting large number of negroes in scheme to take them to the Congo Free States His plan was a unique one, and the "extremely reas- onable'' feature of 1t gained him many re- cruits for his 'sarmy of invasion" For the small consideration of 50 cents each he agreed to tawe them to Washington, where the government, he said, would furnish them with a badge which would take them to Africa. Of course, the 50 cents was paid in advance and the unsupecting ne groees were told to meet the willy agent in this city on a certain date to start for Washington.
 Yesterday a crowd of negroes from the surrounding districts arrived in the city with their baggage, consisting of trunks bundles, bags and parcels Of every con ceiyable size and shape, and went at once to the depot to meet Strickland Alter some hours of waiting they began to smell a mouse, and made inquiries which devel- oped the story. When they found they had

MIR. JosI LETTER.

From the London Saturday Review.
 This youthful millionaire, Mir. Joseph Letter, is probably causing more misery in the world today than the worst Arab slave dealer or the most abandoned criminal. for the vast area of MT. Letters depredations on the poorest classes in Europe far more than counterbalances the greater intensity of suffering inflicted by his rivals in in- iquity. The long arm of the modern mill lionaire reaches to alien millions that will never hear his name, and young Letter, by his manipulation of the wheat market, is today carrying starvation into secluded Spanish villages and crowded city slums, setting the sharp rack of hunger at work to pinch and peel his victims. It is out of the last coppers of the indigent and the miserable that this Chicago millionaire cheerfully levies his blood tax in order that at the expense of starving men and women and little children, he may add fresh millions to those he has already amassed.

HAVANA BEING
 FORTIFIED
AmbuScades Prepared and Heavy Artillery Mounted on
 the EaJthWOrkS.

Havana, May g, via Vera Cruz. Mex, May 2O.-The Spanish officers say all the strategic points about the coast have been occupied by troops and that it will be diff ficult to effect landings. Ambuscades have also been prepared at various points, and they say Havana is so well fortified that an army of fifty thousand men will be needed to reduce the place. New entrench- ments have been thrown up and more heavy artillery has been mounted, but 1t is difficult to obtain any accurate details or such work. Any inquiries on the subject are liable to cause the arrest Of the per son putting the question and newspaper men, particularly correspondents, are con tinuaIly under suspicion.

EUl0GleS ON GLADSTONE.
Formed Historic Episode Fn the House of
 Commons.

London, May 20.--The eulogies of MT. Gladstone formed historic episode in the house of commons today. There were more members assembled in the house than upon any occasion since MT. Gladstone himself introduced the Home Rule bill. Every seat, every space was filled. The United States Ambassador, Colonel John Hay and all the members of his staff were among the diplomats present.
 In the house of lords there was a full at- tendance of members. The Marquis of Sa- isbury spoke feelingly of MT. Gladstone, who he said, twas ever guided in all his efforts by a lofty moral ideal"
 "The deceased" said he, will be remem- bered not so much for his political work, as for the great example. hardly parall- eled in history, of the great Christian statesman"
 The earl of Kimberley. the liberal leader followed with touching tribute and the Duke of Deyonshire expressed generous appreciation of MT. Gladstones services in behalf of the liberal unionists, saying their severance from Mr. Gladstone was a most painful incident. "But." he added, "he could recall no word from MT. Gladstone which added unnecessarily to the bitter ness of the situation"

London, May 2o-The Madrid correspond- ent of the Daily News says:
 Admiral Cerveras' dispatch from Santiago de Cuba to the minister of marine contain ed further details for the information of the government alone. It is pointed out here that 1t was the American plan to get command of the sea as a condition to fu- ture movements. Admiral Cervera's bril- liant moye-reminding one of Lord Nelson's race from the West Indies to Trafalgar, and his escape from the French-deprives America of command of the sea and demon- strates to the world that the blockade of Cuba is merely nominal.
 Admiral Cervera has given the slip to two powerful fleets that have been scout ing the ocean for fortnight in an endeav- or to catch him. All the American schemes depend thereon. Admiral Cervera, with four cruisers and a few destroyers, alone in the Atlantic, ignoring events in Cuba, and in Porto Rico, and the position of the American squadron has out-manoeuvred disorganzed and dispersed the latter mak- ing the Americans believe they were threat ened on very side.

No Truth in Story That Three Men Attempted

Chickamauga, Ga., May 20.-The story sent out from here to the effect that three men had been arrested with arsenic on their person with which it was supposed they were to poison water used by the troops is a fake pure and simple. There is not the slightest foundation for the story, all wells being under constant guard to prevent pollution as we'll as waste of water.

 Bill as Reported.
THE RICH TOO MUCH PROTECTED

Washington. May 2O.-At the conclusion of today's session Of the senate the reading of the war revenue measure had been com pleted. About seven-eighths of the amend ments proposed by the senate committee have been agreed to. Those remaining are quite naturally the most important in the bill and will provoke a great deal of dis cussion. The principal amendments yet to be passed upon are those relating to the issue of bonds and certificates of indebted ness, the tobacco tax, the tax upon pro- prietary articles. the Issue of greenbacks. the coinage of the silver seigniorage, the issue of silver certificates. the inheritance tax and the tax on corporations.
 The action upon some of the amendments will be dependent upon that of the others. MT. Aldrich offered a substitute for the paragraphs relating to the coinage of the seigniorage, the issue of silver certificates and the issue of legal tender notes, the bond provision prepared by the republican ml- nority of the committee on finance. If the bond provision should be accepted by the senate the amendments offered by the dem- ocrats in lieu of 1t would naturally be re- jected.
