The New Hampshire Senator Tells what

The New Hampshire Senator Tells what
lie Saw on HIs Recent Trip
WASHINGTON, March 10 90 Senator
Gallinger was at the capitol to-day
forthe first time since his return from
Cuba When requested TO make a
statement as to his observations on the
condition Of affairs on that island. he
responded: You can sign my name
TO any picture you may draw of utter
wretchedness, destitution and hellish-
ness in that country. The condition
Of affairs, SO far as ] had opportunity
to observe IL, and / was only In Ha-
vana and Matanzas, is simply indie
scribable. had not expected to find
1t half as bad as IL is and | do not be-
lieve that anyone who simply reads
the accounts and does not see for him
self can form an adequate idea of the
situation.
The reconcentrados are wedged
into all available places in those cities
and are perishing by the thousands
for want OF the commonest necessities
OF life. The best information obtain
able leads to the conclusion that there
have been beyond doubt 400, 600 deat'ts
as a result of Spains brutal policy,
and the tragedy goes ON from day to
day. The Society of the Red Cross is
furnishing some relief, but most of
the people are beyond the reach Of
aid, either through medicine or food

pevious To our visit has been ten times

which impressed me with the idea that
| Spain knows much about modern war
fare. The soldiers | saw are not drilled
as our soldiers are. Indeed, they
lack every element of soldierly bear
ing, whatever may be said of their
merits as fighters. The drills that |
witnessed were a travesty on modern
military ideas While they were un-
dergoing their evolutions the soldiers
were talking to each other and smok-
ing as freely and unconcernedly rs
they would in their mess rooms. From
my observation of them / should not

States, aud am sure that l AM within

that almost the entire native popula.

pendence, but Of many of those who
are ranked as Spanish sympathizers
who are at heart advocates Of Cuban
independence. The fact is that
even in Havana the allegience tc
Spain is of very weak and doubtful
character, and IL war should come Il
would be found that there would bC
an uprising in that city against the
mother country which would be q
most important factor in shortening
the contest and deciding 1t against
Spain"

when Republican judge from the
bench deems II his solemn duty, and
no thoughtful citizen questions its

for the good men OF all parties to lay

coms scgether on a common platform
for the relief OF the city from the de-
splcable clique which rules IL.

WAsmSaroN, March l9.-The house
committee on coinage, weights and
measures has favorably reported to
the House a resolution authorizing the
secretary of the treasury TO make ex-
poriments to determine the best ma
terial for minor coinage and TO sub
init new designs for coins To Congress.
The committee says the copper penny
becomes dingy, dull, and, 10y cor
rosion, poisonous; the scent nickel,
three-quarters copper, is too soft.
Switzerland, Austria Hungary and
Italy have adopted pure nickel for
their minor coinage with very salts,

touch, retain their color and do not
corrode.
