THE HEARTLEsS CRY, "ON TO
HAVANA

The correspondent of one of the papers
which have been demanding that Havana
shall be assaulted at once has written let
ter from that city, which he has visited
within two weeks declaring that 1.-The city
Is almost impregnable." In the course of
the letter the correspondent says:
It is the opinion of experts that it will
take at least seventy-fve thousand men to
capture the city. Even then there will be a
hard and bitter fight, and if the invading
troops erect their purpose without loss of
30 per cent. of the army it will be nothing
short of the miraculous.
The Chicago Tribune, for weeks before
the publication of this letter, had been criti-
cising the administration for not assaulting
Havana and otherwise criticising the course
which the authorities have pursued in re-
gard to the The New York World has
demanded the assault of Havana daily and
sneers in every issue at the kind hearted
war of the President" Nothing will do but
the assault of a fortified city with seventy
five thousand men to defend it by troops
which, outside the regulars, are neither
equipped nor drilled. If the taunts of these
newspapers had Influenced those in charge
of the war, the Notifications of Havana
would have been assaulted and the assail-
ants beaten back with great loss They seem
to labor under the impression that that is
not war which secures victory without hui
man slaughter. Even the statements of such
men as Generals Howard and Sickles and
the judgment of the highest officers in the
army that the capture of Havana cannot be
undertaken without large and well-sea-
soned army have no weight. ION to Ha-
vanap' they shout; "hurl thirty thousand
men upon Notifications occupied by twice
many soldiers; let us have carnage, defeat,
anything which will keep up the excitement
and sell carloads of extra editions
The administration and the experienced
officers of the army and navy are deter
mined to defeat Spain with the least posi-
BILE loss of life. They have planned cam
paigns which promise to give the greater
part of Cuba to us without heavy loss of
men. With Santiago and other ports in Cuba
and Porto Rico in our hands, and the de-
struction capture of the only Spanish
fleet of Importance, now shut up in Santi-
ago, the fall of Havana may be brought
about without a siege, or by a siege to
which, later on, the combined force of the
United States can be called and the result
secured without the loss of twenty-five
thousand men. which the correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, who has been in Ha-
vana, predicts will be the cost of it's cap
turc.

including such things as potatoes from the
local dealers to give the men more than
their regular allowance.
The supply of fresh meat that is being
shipped to the camp daily is distributed
among the men of the different companies
in quantities of from five to seven pounds
for each man. Very few men will consume
that much fresh meat day, and the prin-
cipal reason for any deficiency that may
have occurred, in my opinion. rests on the
cooks. who are not sufficiently skilled in the
preparation of the meats to render them
palatable after they are cooked.
A new order has just been issued from
the War Department giving the soldiers one
ration of canned salmon during the week
in place of fresh beef, the latter being Is
sued on the other six days. with the regular
army ration of bacon, as usual Inc SIM
pie truth of the matter is that there are a
number of men belonging to the volunteer
army who are ready to send out any sort
of criticisms against the officers. The re-
ports are entirely irresponsible. and no
credence is placed in them by men, who
have been connected in any way with the
subsistence department of the regular army.
To the same effect is the testimony of a
correspondent of the New York Evening
Post, writing from Cuba Camp Libre, at
Jacksonville. He says:
( diers' camps. / have seen 10000 soldiers of
the regular army and $4,000 volunteers. AL

ment to regiment. noticing the details OF the
life in camp. and talking with scores OF Of

camp correspondent of theH Evening Post, 1t

something about those details. AS a result
of my experience. / have no hesitation in
pronouncing many of those. tales regarding
the food to be utterly false in essence and
in substance, and many of them to be the
unreasonable grumbling of natural grum-
blers. Others are the exaggerated tales of
homesick boys.
Finally, those who asked to believe
these stories should remember that the
general officers in command of the different
corps are all able and experienced officers
and humane men. 1t is their business to
know. and they do know whether the SOL
diers are being properly fed or not. They
all expect to see service, and as soldiers of
long experience none of them has the
slightest desire to lead an army of hungry
skeletons, nor the slightest intention of do
ing so. The friends and relatives of volun-
teers can depend upon it that the general
officers are looking after their welfare and
that they are not starving, the stories OF
yellow newspapers and sensational CORE
spondents to the contrary Notwithstanding

MONEY AND IT'S OWNERS.

Late in 1860 and early in 1861 the admin
istration practically failed to negotiate a
loan of So, Geo. 600 of per cent bonds. Final
ly the loan was disposed of at price which
made the interest IL per cent. Not only did
the people of the United States have no
money with which to purchase bonds, but
the government had no credit. After the
war began and specie payments had been
suspended it was impossible to sell per
cent gold interest bonds in quantities SUI
fcient to pay the unusual expenditures of
the war. even when the greenback, with
which they were purchased, was worth but
20 or 80 cents. This failure was due largely
TO the fact that the people at large had no
money to invest in bonds. That banks of
circulation should be compelled to purchase
| bonds the national banking law of Febru-
airy, 1863, was passed. AT the close of the
war comparatively few bonds were in the
hands of the people. This was because there
was little money in the country. and what
the people possessed they had use for. The
countrys stock of money at the close of
June, 1860 was $435 4O7, 252, of which $2O7 1922
All was state bank circulation Six months
before the resumption Of specie payments
the volume of money in the country was
$766, 352, $40 Six months after specie re-
sumption the stock of money was $1,O51,521,-
SAL June /, 1898. the stock of money in the
United States was 81, ,14S473.
The statistics of savings banks and build
ing and loan associations and like institu-
tons tell the story of the rapid increase of
small money owners in this country. In 1860
the number of savings bank depositors was
69SS70. and the aggregate deposits were
$149, 277. JO4; in 1897 the number of depositors
was 5,2O1, 1872, and the deposits 81 1899 876,035.
There were no building and loan associa-
tons in 1860 but in 1896 the net assets of
these institutions were $450,667 900. The sta
tistics of life insurance companies would
show growth of savings accumulated in
premiums paid, which bears testimony to
OF the people which has been invested

SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR BONDS.
Popular Feature of Loan a Great Sue
| cess-1O1 offered for 100000. 600.

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE amount OF
subscriptions so far received at the Treas
TRY Department fully meets the expecta-
ton of the officials. and warrants the pre-
diction that the new loan will prove a great
er success than any other ever issued by the
government. The response of the people of
moderate means is especially gratifying to
the secretary, and indicates that the popu-
lar feature of the loan will prove a very
great success.
A well-known banking house to-day made
q proposition to the secretary to subscribe
for 500 100000 of the new bonds at 101. I'm
der the law the bonds must be sold at par
and allotted TO the subscribers for the small
er amounts first, hence the offer lcould not
be entertained. Subscriptions Tor $50 bonds
or multiples of that amount up to $500 will
be awarded as fast as received.
Representative Osborne, of Wyoming, has
introduced resolutions directing the secre-
tary OF the treasury to furnish Immediately
after the disposal of the 800. 900 bonds
the names of purchasers and banks in whose
care the bonds are and delivered, and
also why checks and drafts payable in Dem
YER Col, are not receivable in payment for
those bonds.

Many persons have been wondering what
had become of the dynamite cruiser We
suvius. The only vessel of her kind in the
world, it was predicted at the beginning of
the war that her destructive power would
be, a revelation. Compared with the big
battle ships, she is small craft her dis
placement being only 929 tons, against the
Indianas or the Oregon's 10000; but she
carries three s15-inch dynamite guns, which
were expected to prove very destructive.
The Vesuvius has had her baptism of fire
in the siege of Santiago harbor, and seems
to have given a good account of herself.
She fired three shells, which by the way
were charged with gun cotton instead of
dynamite, each one containing 200 pounds
of the high explosive, and the dispatch says
they were well aimed and exploded with
terrific effect. The Vesuvius seems likely
to make a record, and perhaps marks a
new departure in modern warfare.
