Colvmbut 1mpzsasf0ns on His 1izst In
PRODUCTION to Smoking Tobacco.
II was ON the island Of Cuba, in the
autumn Of l4s2, that the use Of tobacco
was learned by Europeans Columbus
makes the first mention Of the weed in
his diary under date Of OCT. IL. When
he and bis men landed on Cuban shores,
the kindly natives, who mistook them
for messengers from heaven, brought
them numerous offerings. Among these.
as stated by the admiral in his diary,
were some "dry leaves, which must be
something much priced by them (the
natives), for they had already brought
me some in San Salvador as a present."
Little heed was paid to these leaves
in the beginning by the Spaniards. They
were In search of gold and saw no pos
sibility Of converting miserable weeds
into that precious commodity. In the
course of time they began to notice that
as the natives went to and from their
villages and the shore smoke escaped
from their mouths, "in q truly diabol-
ical manner. Soon they discovered
that these unclad children Of the wilds
carried in their hands burning
stick. " which every now and then they
would put into their mouths and blow
out cloud Of smoke. This had most
heathenish look, as it is recorded. to the
Spaniards and they inquired, as we'll as

Kansas Soldiers All Right.


IN answer to an inquiry as to his in
formation as to the efficiency Of Kansas
soldiers and officers Senator Harris had
the following to say to a reporter, last
Thursday:
II understand that Republicans have
betn spreading the report that the Of
ficers are inefficient, but do not think
that the Republican leaders would be so
foolish as to make that an issue in the
campaign. Let them do it; just let them
do It,
THE fact is, Kansas troops have not
been Disseminated against in the least
l DO know that Kansas always expects
to lead, but in this matter we will have
to take our turn with the rest. Do you
know that the Twenty-second Kansas
did not get it's guns until last week, and
then, instead of them being the modern
Springfield rifles they were Of the model
of 70, and was informed by Maj. Chase
Doster that portion Of the guns were
entirely unfit for use. The government
has done the best it could, but it had
many things to do. The Twenty-secOnd
Kansas will compare favorably with
any regiment at Camp Alger and un-
de;stand that they will go on the Porto
RICO expedition.
Il heard these reports from Kansas
about our troops and went to see Ad-
jutant General COrbin, who, by the way,
is q most excellent gentleman, and l
made inquiry especially about the
Twenty-frst and Twenty-second Kansas
and he told me that the regiments were
al. right; that there was no complaint
about them and that their work was in
every way satisfactory and also that
there was no thought of discriminating
against them.
II tell you that these reports about
the Kansas troops are false and mali
cious, both with reference to the Of
ficers and the action of the government.
The Kansas troops will respond when
the time comes and they will show what
they are made Of"

Porto Rico to Follow Hawaii.

Washington, July 21.-The authorita-
tive declaration was made to-day that
the island of Porto Rico Is to be held
as a price Of war. The subjoined prac-
tically official statement was made to
the Associated Press to-day:
Porto Rico will be kept by the United
States. This is settled and has been the
plan from the first Once taken it will
never be released. It will pass forever
into the hands Of the United States and
there never has been any other thought.
It's possession will go toward making
up the heavy expense Of war to the
United States. Our flag once run up
there will float over the island perma-
nently."
The same authority says the future of
the Philippines is a matter of develop
ment and so far there Is no certain
policy finally adopted regarding these
isIsnds. They are subject to develop
ments in the war situation in the Pa
Cifc. Ii was intimated, however, though
MOI definitely asserted, that the Ladrone
islands might follow the fate of Porto
Rico and become our permanent pos
session, being valuable as a cOaling and
supply station for our ships when en-
route to eastern Asia.

Skaters rIen Stay at Santiago.

Washington, July 19.-War depart
ment officials feel that they are fully JUS
titled in their decision to retain practi-
cally all of Skaters army Santiago by
the press reports that reached them to-
day indicating the growth Of serious
friction between the American forces
and the Cuban troops, growing out Of
the latter's exclusion from Santiago by
General Skaters orders.
It is felt now that the garrison Origi-
nalIy proposed-two immune regiments
would have been quite insufficient to
meet an outside Spanish force that
might come from Holguin or Manzanillo,
and also to restrain the Tapacity Of the
Cubans.
1t is realized that the present situation
is full OF difficulties, and the future is
dark, owing to the disposition evidenced
by the Cubans to ignore or refuse to be
bound by the amenities of modern war
ware,

CarIlst Outbreak Is Looked For.

London, July 2O.-The English Car
lists are most active and are in hourly
expectation of momentous news. The
leader Of the organization here says:
1--WE are quite ready for active opera
tions. Moreover, there is no doubt the
authorities at Madrid are aware that a
Carlist uprising is imminent and that it
VIII be successful We are immensely
strong in many parts Of Spain and so
soon as the cowardly surrender OF San
tiago de Cuba percOlates our forces will
be greatly increased.
"The foreign enlistment act curtails
our activity in England, and ever since
the Madrid government began to get in
to difficulties we have been shadOwed
day and night by spies and detectives.
However, we have money which is sore
ly needed in Spain"
The Advocate and news., 1898-07-27

told around the campRres, until the
name Of Cuban Is usually wreathed with
camp profanity, and very rarely is a
kind word spoken Of them. In fact, in
some quarters, there Is disposition to
prOphesy an early collision between our
men and the Cubans.
General Shafter yesterday morning
sent an invitation to General Garcia to
attend the ceremony Of raising the
American flag over Santiago, but the
Cuban general showed his resentment
by sending reply which amply con-
firmed the course which he and his
ragged, ignorant soldiers have followed
during the weeks of hard fighting and
campaigning which have resulted in the
fall of Santiago. He declined the invi-
tation, saying he hated the Spaniards,
and added that he did not want to be
where any Of them were.
Since that time the Cubans have re-
mained in their camp, eating American
ratlons, and our troops have had no
communication with them.

NegrO TrOOps Ready ROr Service.

The two battalions Of negro troops
have been mustered into the govern
ment service and the States connection
with them is ended. They will go to the
front as the Twenty-third Kansas Vol
unteer Infantry. An effort was. made to
attach the Ohio Colored battalion to
them and make complete regiment,
but Ohio's modest Governor wanted to
officer them and have them known as
an Ohio regiment, so Governor Leedy
very properly refused the proposition.
The colored boys are seeming to enjoy
life at Camp Leedy. Most Of the men
have been provided with uniforms and
are really better equipped than their
white brothers were. They have shell
ter or dog tents, as they are more gen.
orally called, which will be used If
they stay in camp much longer, the
tents now in use not being used in the
field.

Santiago, July 1S.-(Special to New
York Herald 1.-The proceedings at the
surrender of Santiago yesterday were
marred by the conduct of Sylvester Sco-
vel, correspondent for the New York
World, who slapped General Shafter in
the face. Scovel had tried to get to
the roof of the palace to help hoist the
American flag A guard turned him
back and he rushed up to General Shaf-
tef and struck him. He was at once
seized and taken to the Carcel Real. To-
day he was removed to Siboney in the
tug Colon under a small guard. 1t is
not yet kHOwn how his case will be dis
posed of. He may be tried here or
taken as a prisoner to the United States.

Cuba11S Now
rlake Trouble.
Insurgents Are Proving to Be a Dis
appointment, and Friction With
Our Army Is Feared.
Lo0TlNG OF TOWNS STOPPED.

Santiago, July ia fact which Is I'M
pressed more and more every day upon
the American officers and men Is the
increasing strained relations between
the Americans and Genera Garcia's Gu
ban soldiers. Indeed, the situation has
now reached O point where there Is
practically no communication between
the armies, and their relations border
on those of hostile nations, rather than
those which should exist between allies.
After General Shafter announced his
decision not to let the Cuban junta en-
ter the city Of Santiago, deep mutter-
ings were heard among General Garcia's
men. IL was evident the Cubans were
greatly disappointed at the step taken
by the American commander, for they
had confidently counted upon having
Santiago turned over to them to loot
and plunder as they had, in succession
sacked BaiQuiri, Siboney and FL Caney.
Consequently their disappointment was
deep when they asCertained shat they
were not to be permitted to take pos
session of the city upon General TOrals
surrender. On Friday last, Castillo, a
brother of General Demeterlous Castillo,
went to General Skaters headquarters
In order to ascertain the cause of this,
to the Cubans, inexplicable relation.
''Why is Santiago to remain in the
hands OF our enemies?" he asked.
''The Spaniards are not our enemies" "
replied General Shafter. 1--WE are fight
ing the soldiers of Spain, but we have
no desire to despoil her citizens, No
Cuban will be allowed to enter the city,
nor will any American. The govern
ment Of the city is for the people to
decide When the American army leaves
&C, | presume 1t will be turned over to
you, but not till then"
Castillo, who came direct from GEN
eral Garcia's camp, did not attempt to
conceal his chagrin.
The Cuban soldiers now fully realize
that there is a rising sentiment against
them In the army. They hear nothing
but words of scorn from our men as they
pass onward Juggling their bacon and
hard tack into the woods. Even Oul
officers no longer conceal their disgust
for their allies, and 1t is understood
that the warm friendship displayed to-
ward them at first has now turned into
contempt, for the Cubans have neither
fought nor worked.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press, who sends this dispatch saw 9
group OF Cubans refuse point blank tt
aid in building roads, and, during the
two days heavy fighting, while they
were lettering In the rear, our surgeons
sought in vain to secure assistance
from them, even to cut poles for i'm
provised litters for our wounded.
