RELEASING CUBAN PRISONERS.
A Havana Paper Argues That The American Hsthsds
Are the Most Substantial.

The Cuban cabinet composed OF the
colonial secretaries meets daily. and
pardon is granted to a great number
of prisoners. who are thereupon turn
ed into the streets of Havana.
La Lucha, in an editorial recently
treating upon the question of the flu
ture of Cuba, concludes with saying
THE only difference between ourselves
and the Americans is that they occupy
themselves with material interests and
the organization of public health while
we write verses on liberty and sonnets
to the moon as a solution of our very
terrestrial problem. We are supporters
and followers of ideals and the muses.,
while they are stanch dependents upon
reality and earthly things. We are Of
heaven and they are OF the earth. Vic
tory, therefore, cannot be doubtful, un-
less we change our tastes, ambitions
and temperament.

cree of August 22, has pardoned 119

PICoUART's PREDICTION.
intimssss That Ropes and Rsssrs, Found in Accused
tPrissusrs' Cells. Are Net Always Evidence
Of suieids-Drsyfus Examination.

The trial of Col. Picduart and M.
Loblois. n lawyer, on the charge of re-
vcaling documents concerning the ma
tional defense. was to have begun at
Paris a few days ago before the cor
rectional tribunal. The public prose-
cutor. however asked for an adjourn
ment ON the ground that the prosecu-
tion of Col. Piquart on the charge of
forgery and using forged documents
had been ordered by the minister of
war. NJ. Labori, who was counsel for
NJ. Zola during the latters famous
trial, Indignantly opposed the adjourn
ment, which he said was an attempt to
hand over Col. Picquart into the
clutches of the military authorities.
Col. Picquart then rose and made q
statement, which caused a sensation.
He said: This Is, perhaps. the last
time j shall speak in public. l shall
sleep, perhaps. in the military prison
OF Cherche Midi. Therefore. I wish to
declare that If find there the strang
ling cord of lie Mercier PIcI:S rd. or the
razor of Col Henry, 1t will be murder,

The audience was intensely moved
and shouted "Vive Picquart."

deliberation, decided to indefinitely ad-

to by Col. Picquart, was a detective,
understood to have been employed in
the Dreyfus affair, who was found
hanged In his lodgings about year
ago under circumstances which sast
some doubt upon the theory put for
ward that he had committed suicide.
The commission appointed by the
minister of justice. NJ. Sarrien. to ex-
anime the documents in the Dreyfus
case and pronounce upon the advisa-
bility of the government formally
granting the prisoner on Devils island

ministry OF justice. The greatest pre-
cautions We're taken TO insure secrecy.
1t Is understood the commission will
come to a decision shortly when NJ.
Sarrien will communicate its finding
to cabinet coucil, which will be pre-
sided over by President Faure.

CONVICTION FOR GUILTY OFFICERS.
PRESIDENT DETERMINED.
Ia On Address he Gives the invsstissting csmmittss
Of the War Department uniimitsd Scope and
Authsrit: ALL Classes Represented

The commission appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley to investigate the ad-
ministration of the war department In
relation to its conduct of the Hlspano-
American war began It's labors formal
~ last Monday. The commission eff
fected an organization by eiecting Gen.
Granville NJ. Dodge president; Mr.:
Richard Weightman. secretary; and
Mai. Stephen G.. Mills, of the regular
army, recorder.
The president is understood to be
thoroughly pleased with the personnel
OF the comru;ssion. 1t was his effort
to secure as members of the commits
sion men of the highest character and
standing. in whose opinions and judg-
ment the country would have all con-
fdence He desired also to have repre-
sented on the board all phases of public
and political feeling, every section of
the country and all classes of business
professional, commercial and mill
tary.
In addressing the commission the
president said. among other things:
"Gentlemen-Before suggesting the
matter which shall come before you
for investigation, | desire to express
my appreciation to each of you for
your willingness to accept the patriotic
service to which you have been invited
You are to perform one Of the highest
public duties that can fall to n citizen,
and your unselfishEess I'm undertaking
1t makes me profoundly grateful.
There has been in many quarters,
severe criticism of the conduct of the
war with Spain. Charges of criminal
neglect of the soldiers in camp and
have been so persistent that. whether
true or false, they have made n deep
impression upon the country. 1t is my
earnest desire that you shall thorough
ly investigate these charges. and make
the fullest examination of the adminis-
tration of the war department in all
of its branches. with the view to estab-
fishing the truth or falsity of these ac-
cusations.
II put upon you no limit to the scope
of your investigation. OF all depart
ments connected with the army. / in
vite the closest scrutiny and examina-
tion, and shall afford every faculty for
the most searching inquiry. The rec
ords Of the war department and the
assistance of its officers shall be sub
ject to your call.
II can not impress upon you too
strongly my wish that your investiga-
tion shall be so thorough and COM
plete that your report, when made. will
fix the responsibility for any failure or
fault by reason of neglect, incompe-
tency or maladministration upon the
officers and bureaus responsible there
for-if it be found that the evils COM
p,ained of have existed.
THE people of the country are en-
titled to know whether or not the citi-
zens who promptly responded to the
call of duty have been neglected or
misused or maltreated by the govern
ment to which they so willingly gave
their service. If there have been
wrongs committed. the wrong -doers
must not escape conviction and pun
ishment.'

EMPEROR YIELDS HIS POWER.
China Now Governed BY the Dswsgsr Empress
form Ediets Caused the ChsnRe.

An imperial edict Just issued defn-
itely announces that the emperor OF
China has resigned his power to the
dowager empress, who has ordered the
ministers to deliver to her In future
their official reports.
1t Is difficult to obtain reliable infor-
nation at the palace in regard to the
proceeding, but the recent reformatory
edicts probably caused the change
While the emperor was subservient
and mere figurehead the dowager
empress permitted him to remain in
peace, but so soon as he attempted to
act on his own initiative his practical
deposition was the result. His prInci-
pal adviser. Kang Yuomi, the Canton
ese reformer. fled in spite of the vigor-
Gus attempts made to arrest him, and
II is said he is now on his way to
Shanghai.
Although, there Is no positive confir-
nation, all the evidence tends to the
conviction that the emperor of China
is dead. A private dispatch says he
died on September 21. directly he is
sued the edict giving the dowager the
regency. Nobody doubt that Yang
and Chang yen Hoon, who was minis
ter at Washington in 1895, are both in
nocent of the charge of poisoning the

CRUELTY OF A SPANISH GENERAL.
Asssssinstss Thirty citissns Who Were Declared
Loyal Citissns BY Superior 0fncers.

A prominent Spaniard who has just
arrived at Havana from Santo Espiritu
tells of many atrocities committed by
the Spanish general, Ignacio Estruch,
In that vicinity AS a result many fam
lilies have fled to the fields and others
have died panic-stricken, suffering
from untold cruelties. Gen. Estruch
surrounded himself with advisers, who
indicated to him persons to be killed or
exiled.
Estruch made list of fifty persons,
submitting 1t for approval to General
Aguirre, commander of his division;
who consulted with Marco Garcia, civil
governor of Santa Clara province.
Garcia said the list was not reliable,
as all the persons named therein were
loyal autonomists.
Estruch, chagrined at his failure,
formed a secret service police of twen-
ty-five gendarmes, armed with dag
gers. The blacklisted persons were ar
rested by night and slain outside the
city walls. When the families of the
missing inquired, Estruch replied that
they had been arrested and released,
and had probably escaped to the fields
and Joined the rebels. Thus Estruch
assassinated about thirty persons.
Estruch was arrested for his crimes,
but was released and sent to the Jau-
caro- trocha, not being court-martialed
on account of lack of proof.
One of the daggers used by the Es-
truch police was presented to Capt.
Gen. Blanco, who was Mortified at the
sight. Among the persons assassinat-
ed was Candido Spalederon, a newspa-
pcr man.

CuBANs SUFFERING.
The Evasustisps Of The sysasrds nust Begin oetsbsr
1s-Prstsst Against the Removal Of the
cslumbss Msnumsnt

The officials at Washington are
watching with interest the progress be-
ing made by the Military Commission
at Havana in securing the evacuation
OF Cuba. The commission has been
very slow In making reports to the war
department, but from the latest re-
teived IL appears that the body would
like to have more definite instructions
as to procedure.
1t seems that the Spanish side has
said that they could not begin the eva
cuation OF the island until the list of
November, and that II could not be
| completed before the 2sth of February.
In view of the alarming state OF the
Cubans, who are suffering from hunger
and the inability in the present uncer-
tain conditions to obtain work, the pre-
sident decided that he could not assent
to the consumption OF so much time.
Therefore, he caused the commission
TO be instructed to demand that the
evacuation by the Spaniards begin not
later than October Is. and that 1t be
completed by December 81.
What the result OF this demand will
be Is not yet known, but IL Is said that
the administration Is determined to
tolerate no dilatory tactics on the part
OF the Spanish forces in leaving the is
land, although disposed to permit
reasonable indulgence.
Notice has also been taken OF the ex-
pressed purpose of the Spanish Cap
tain General to remove from the island
the remains of Christopher Columbus,
with part of the surmounting monu-
ment. II a monument is not perma-
nent fixture. then II Is hard to decide
what Is. and II Is possible that atten-
tion will be called to the infraction of
the terms of the protocol, although
this must be done with haste In order
TO succeed in its object. as the removal
10 said to be fixed for Tuesday.
The officials OF the war department
pronounced to be without foundation
the alarmist stories coming from sour
ces In San Francisco that Germany had
shown a disposition to arm the Philip
pine insurgents with view to melting
them to harrass the American army at
Manila.
A Madrid dispatch says that the
ministerial authority has declared that
the United States government has no
right to protectorate over any of the
islands OF the Philippine group and
that the Spanish peace commissioners
will energetically defend Spain's rights
to their possession.

President Visits q Hospitsl.

Unannounced, President Mckinley a
few days ago made a personal inspec-
tion of the hospital at Fort Meyer,
Virginia. The President carefully in
spected the kitchen and examined the
food supplied to the hospital patients.
At the conclusion of his examination
he expressed himself as we'll satisfied
with the arrangements made for car
Ing for the sick, but desired it to be un-
derstood that the patients were to
want for nothing that would improve
their condition or render them more
comfortable. The patients were par
ticularly pleased at the visit of the
President, and Maj. Davis said, as the
party left the hospital, that 1t would
do more to cheer up the sick men than
any quantity of medicine.
