A NEW SPANISH DEVICE.
Dynamite Laden Hulks Placed in the

New York, May PA dispatch to
the Herald from Key West says that
the fertile Spanish brain, which has
been adopting all sorts of schemes to
entice the ~blockading squadron within
range OF the Havana batteries, has ad.
opted a new expedient to destroy war
ships. The latest device is the sending
adrift of hulks made to resemble tor.
pedo-boats after first loading them
with dynamite in the hope that Ameri.
can ships would ram them in the dark.

sent out.
One OF these deadly machines was
sighted off Cardenas by the Hudson.

that the boat was a derelict, the tugs

From Gen. Lcc's LANDING on our
shores he had q splendid ovation. At
Washington, by all parties, he was
hailed, not as a Southcrncr, not Us a
Democrat, but as an American. As
the representative Of the country at
Havana for two years, under difficult
surroundings, he bore himself dis
crcetly and ably, asserting American
rights. Mckinley did himself honor
and showed good sense in retaining
Fitz Lee at Havana. 1t was noble and
like Lee to consent to stay. There is
talk of making him a Major General
in the Army and perhaps sending him
to Havana. But Fitz Lee is past sixty
and entitled to rest. Give him the
rank and an easy berth, to be retired
at 81 on his pay and laurels. We can
give the Dons iltA in some other dose.

Awful Condition at Havana.

In a letter to the London Times a
Havana correspondent says:
Though Havana is still quiet-ex-
trAordinarily, ominously quiet, as a
calm before Ga storm-there is an
ever increasing feeling against the
governments deceit in hiding the
truth and spreading false reports,
apparently with the intention OF
leaving the people to the mercy OF
their enemies. Famine is slowly
tightening it's bands. The bulk OF
the population would already have
starved but for the supplies of pine
apples, mangoes and bananas. The
death rate is extraordinarily high
here, and still worse in other parts
of the island. In some settlements
half the reconcentrados have died
since war was declared"

The Soldiers Night Shirt.

A letter from Cuba written by a
soldier in the volunteer army CRATE
fully acknowledges the receipt of a
night shirt sent to him by loving
friends in Gotham. He says:
Nearly every man in our regiment
received night shirt from the La
dies Aid and they came in handy
for cleaning guns, as the sand and
rain keep the rifles in bad shape and
rags are scarce. They were all glad
to get the shirts, as it is better to
have your gun in good shape than to

Territory Development.

The following circular, sent out by
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Trust
company, explains itself:
THE development of the Indian
Territory has received its first great
impetus through the enactment by
congress of the Curtis bill. AS the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf rail-
road has about $50 miles of track in
the Indian Territory, and also reaches
the important city of Fort Smith,
the iobbing and general supply de-
pot for the greater part of the Indian
Territory, very beneficial results will
be derived by the railroad. The
Curtis bill provides for the allotment
of the Indian Territory lands, selec-
tions of town sites, sales of timber
and the lease of oil, coal and mineral
lands in fair and reasonable way.
"Some ideas of the difficulties here
tofore experienced bv manufsctur-
ers and traders in the Indian Terri
tory may be understood when it is
4
a white man could not do business in
his own name, and the royalty de-
manded by the Indians on timber has
been about so per cent greater than
10 paid in the states. 1t Is not ex'
pected that such a rush as character
lied the opening of the Cherokee
strip and Oklahoma will be repeated
but n more healthful development o.
agricultural and industrial enter
prises will surely result. The sec
ton of the Indian Territory through
which the Kansas City, Pittsburg
Gulf runs, including famous Arkan
sas Valley, is decidedly the best a
a producer of coal, timber, minera
and agricultural products"
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas ha
also much to gain from the develop
ment of the Indian Territory. A
lines running through the Territor
will be vastly benefited.
