FLAG ORDERED DOWN.

Havana Major Russell Harrison, the
provost marshal, who on Tuesday rails ID
the stars and stripes over Fort Atares
without orders and in contravention of
the promise of the United States Evac-
uation commissioners that no American
flags should be raised in Havana or its
suburbs until Jan l, was today formal
ly reprimanded by Major General Lee
and WAS instructed to lower the flag
Lieutenant Lee reported few hours
later to headquarters that the flag had
been lowered.
Nevertheless at the hour of fling this
dispatch (4:30 p. m.), it is still flying on
a tall staff over the famous fort, plainly
visible from the harbor and city.
Major General Lee, having received a
cable diepa tcb from General Alger, say
ing that the secretary of war understood
that there were thousands OF persons
starving in Havana and directing him to
feed them, without delay" immediate
ordered Lieutenant Col. Wood to dis
tribute rations and to make systematic
efforts to feed the helpless, carefully
avoiding waste.
There are hundreds in Havana today
who, though not actually starving, are
in deplorsble state OF weakness and
disease, the effects of the cruel recon-
centration policy. They need hospital
treatment, which is not always avail
able.

The leading wooden manufacturers

shortly, owing to the dullness of

there is actual necessity TO curtail

some time, but the products have to

There is a general sentiment that

who Miners Friends Are.

The democratic state platform of
1888 contains the celebrated anti-Pink-
erton plank. Platforms of 1890 and
1892 reiterated the former declaration
against giving police power to pri-
vate detective agencies. The rcpub-
lican platforms of those years re-
maincd silent on that subject. In
1891 the democratic house passed Il
bill carrying out the demands of the
dem ocratic platform. y republican
senate killed it. In 1898 the demo-
Gratis controlled both houses of the leg
islature. and passed a law prohibiting
the bringing of armed bodies into the
state or the shcriffs OF Illinois from
deputizing men not residents of their
respective counties. Had this statute
been enforced Oct. - at Virdeu the
