The Spanish word "reconcentrado" Is
very much in evidence just now. The
term in Cuba is applied to those unfortu-
nate people who have been collected
within the numerous towns surrounded
BY the adobe or mud brick forts or block
houses which the Spanish troops occupy.
The object Of collecting them was to
prevent their tilling the soil and raising
food which the Insurgents could take
from them. As the men usually did not
dare to come in, the reconcentrados are
mostly women and children. They are
found In the four western counties of
Cuba, nominally within the control Of
Spain and their condition is concentrated
misery. This condition our government
earnestly desires to improve and our
people have already done much to
ameliorate.

NEW YORK, oct. 1.--R. G. Dun &

Failures in September have been about
5000 900 and for the quarter about S22,-
$4,000. No report covering the exact
month or quarter is possible this week,
but the returns indicate a smaller ag-
gregate of failures than in any other
month in many years except in August
of this year and smaller for the quarter
than many other quarter since 1892.
In fact, excepting one quarter in that
year. no other appears to have shown q
smaller aggregate unless more than ten

COMMISSIONERS RETURN.
Have Little to Say of Their work In
Hawaii


SAN FRANCISCO, oct. 1.-The IIa-
waiian commissioners returned yester-
day on the steamer Gaelic Little re-
garding their work in the islands and
their probable recommendations could
be learned, though they were willing
to talk Of the beauties of the islands
and their kind and enthusiastic recep-
tion by the islanders They did SAY,
however, that the islands are enjoying
great prosperity, though all agreed that
1t would take an immense sum Of mon
ey to develope their resources.
1t was intimated that great consid-
Grafton would be given by the commit
tee in its report regarding he.invasion
Of the island by orientals. The island
ers are already complaining of the in
creasing hordes of laborers, especially
from Japan, the little. brown men flock
ing to the islands in great numbers in
anticipation Of a restriction act.
The commissioners denied any differ
ences with President Dole and express
ed themselves as highly appreciatiye
Of the assistance rendered by that gem
tleman to the committee. The, COM
missioners will probably go east to-
night and will present their report to
the president and win later appear be-
fore congress.

of an overland telegraph line 800 miles
In length from Guantanamo via San
tlago and Manzanillo. The line Is 20 be
used principally for the transmission
Of government dispatches. although
commercial messages viii be accepted.
The present cost of transmission Of
messages by telegraph from Guanta-
namo to Santiago Is 20 cents a word up
TO 30 words and Y cents for each ad-
ditional word.
Educational statistics prepared by or
der Of General Wood show that Al per

cent Of the colored people are able to
read and write. Schools viii be opened
on Monday the attendance upon which
Will be compulsory. English win be
taught. Thirty teachers at q salary OF
$50 a month each and a superintendent

General Wood requests that charlta-
Bile persons in America be advised that
no more mems clothing is needed. but
that calico and needles and thread for
the women and supplies Of quinine, bis
muth and iron for the sick are requir-
ed He would like the agricultural de-
partment and charitable societies to
send consignments of seeds suitable for
planting In the climate which would
be of incalculable advantage TO the
small farmers. The miners are return
ing 10 work. and General Wood says
there Is absolutely no starvation in the
province Of Santiago.
Much qualification is expressed over
the lawabiding nature Of the people IN
the province There has been no muir
der since the occupation by the Ameri-
cans, and few crimes, all Of a petty ma
ture, have been committed.
