The BANDITS IN CUBA
BRiGANDAGE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN

From the Washington Star.
Among the institutions of Spanish rule
in Cuba which is expected to go along
with the bull fight and the lottery is
briGandage. A leading Cuban once declared
that brigandase was not really an institu-
ton, but rather an old and deeply rooted
custom. Some of the American army Of
iicers have given utterance to the fears
that the American troops who are to gar
rtson the island temporarily Will have plen-
ty to do in keeping down bandits in the
rural regions. They argue that the dis
banding of the insurgents on one hand
and the local guerrillas who We're part of
the Spanish army on the other hand will
turn loose a considerable number of Jaw
less men who will return TO what was
once Il profession. The most enlightened
of the Cuban leaders do not share this
fear. The suggestion was once made to
General Gomez that after peace came
trouble might arise from this lawless ele-
ment, but the grim old warrior replied
that dead bandits never gave trouble.
What he meant was that he would sup
press any attempt at brigandage by clutch
ing its throat in the beginning. II left to
General Gomez and his lieutenants, those
who understand the conditions prevailing
in Cuba have little fear of a return to the
old practice.

Stealing Cattle and Horses.

In the country districts of Cuba before
the war there was kind Of brigandage
which consisted chiefly in stealing horses
and cattle. The cattle thieves Were not of
the daring class. They would commit dep
relations on the poor farmers, and some
times would succeed in driving away oxen
from the sugar plantations, but as rule
their theftS were not extensive. and they
were not feared. Horse thieving was more
rare, and to steal horse in the interior
of the island was crime fully as heinous
as in the western part of the United
States, where hanging, in the pioneer days.

SATURDAYS HOT WORK.

Siboney, Cuba, July 2. D. m.-(By the Associated Press dispatch boat Dauntless, via Port Antonio and Kings ton, Sunday, July 3, 2:55 p. m.)-The fighting on the right of our line this afternoon developed unexpectedly and for some hours there was almost as severe fighting as yesterday (Friday), when General Lawton was assaulting Fl Caney.
 The Spanish made an attack in force on our position, pouring in volley af- ter volley in quick succession and with remarkable regularity Our re- turn fire was certainly effective and continued strong after the Spanish vol leys had become rarer and less heavy. Meanwhile the batteries on Grimes hill kept booming away at the middle of the enemy's line, materially aiding the fanking movement. The she1ling from the Spanish feet was less active and apparently gave our left but little concern.
 At this hour the report has just reached here that General Lawton, aided by fresher regiments sent him earlier in the morning, has turned the enemy's left and has troops already in the city, where an almost hand to hand

afternoon. The nght Tor the position
 of Clancy was most obstinate and the
 ultimate victory reflects great credit
 upon the American troops. It was a
 glory, too, for Spain, though she never had chance to win 1t at any time during the day. Her men fought in
 the entrenchments, covered always by block houses, while the American forces were in the open from the first to the last. The Spanish soldiers stuck to their work like men and this, the first land fight of the war, may we'll cause Spain to feel proud of her men.
 The American soldiers attacked the entrenchments through the open
 ground and from the firing of the first shot until they were on the hills above Caney they fought their way forward and the Spanish were driven back wards At nightfall the town is prac- tically in tine hands of the Americans. The country in which Gen. Lawton' s division fought offered great advan- tages both to the attacking party and to the defenders. It was the crossing ef the open places that caused the se- verests of the American losses.
 The brfgades of Col. Miles and Gen. era1 Ludlow had more of this work to perform than had General Chaffee's, and they, moreover, were ompelled to make their final charges on the town across an open space through which the Spanish fire swept with deadly ef- feet.
 No finer work has ever been dcne by 1 soldiers than was done by the b-i- gades of General Ludlow and Col Miles. as they closed in on the town. The Spanish blazed at them witb Mausers and machine guns, but with
 out effect Nothing could stop them and they pushed in closer and closer

 Headquarters of General Shafter, Friday, July 1.-(By Associated Press dispatch boat Cynthia, via Port An tonic, Saturday, and Kingston, Sun day, July 3. 2:30 a. m.)-Hemmed in on all sides by General Lawton's di- vision, the Spanish troops in the town of Caney are tonight practically pris- oners of war, and by daybreak tomor- row (Saturday) Spain will have lost 2,000 of her best soldiers killed or wounded and taken prisoners in and around the town, which was partly in the hands of the American forces at 5 o'clock tonight. This result was not obtained, however, without severe fighting on the part of the American forces, and although it is impossible at this time to give a list of the dead

 COL. CARPENTER. commanding Seventh infantry.

VOTING IN VARIOUS STATES.
Mississippi and Utah at the Two Ex-
tremes ms Regards the
Suffrage.
From the New York Sun.

FROM the New YORK SUM-
By the last national census the total pop
national census the population of Missis-
sippi was 10000, or more than six times
greater. Since 1890 the population of Utah
has increased considerably. but not to an
extent SO large as to give it at present
more than one-fourth of the present popu-
lation of Mississippi, which has increased
to some extent also. Yet at the recent
election more thon 1000 votes were cast
in Utah and less than $1,000 votes were cast
seems to call for some explanation. 1t is to
be found in the fact that. while in some
years. the most active efforts have been
made to reduce to a minimum the right OF
suffrage. in other states all legislation has
been tending toward its enlargement.
Mississippi and Utah represent two ex-
tremes. Mississippi having the minimum
and Utah the maximum standard of suf-
frage. To vote in Mississippi a citizen
must be able to read and to understand and
be capable of explaining the United States
constitution: he must have lived in the
state two years and in the voting precinct
one year. and TO the last rule the only ex-
emption made is for the clergymen, for
whom residence OF six months only Is nee
essary in an election district. TIL hard
ships of these conditions may be seen in
part from the fact that in New York only
one years residence in the state is required
and only thirty days residence in an cleo
ton district. Moreover, Mississippi ex-
cludes from the right OF suffrage persons
owing local taxes. But if the conditions OK
suffrage are harsh in the Bayou state. they
are certainly favorable in Utah Any man
or woman over the age of q years, who has
resided in the state for n year and in the
voting precinct for sixty days. is entitled
to vote. There IS no educational test. there
is no taXpaying test: there Is no general ex-
clusion of persons convicted of crime. eX-
cept in the case Of treason or a violation
of the lenient election laws Practically,
there is full manhood and wom-
anhood suffrage in Utah. and when these
facts are understood it is not difficult to see
the ease with which the franchise is en-
larged so as 10 include about one-third OF
the present population of the state, men,
women and children
Women have equal suffrage with men in
Wyoming and Colorado, and in the latter
state a residence of six months only Is re-
quired in the state and ten days in the cleo
ton district. Some of the states, too, Col
orado and Michigan among them, permit
aliens to vote. II they have declared their
to become citizens; but this reg
