ALLEGED ANARCHY IN CUBA.
Insurgents Complain That We Have
Abandoned Them.

LONDON, September 2.-The Times
this morning publishes letter from
Habana correspondent, in which the
writer points out that, az in the mother
country, there appears no disposition
among the Spaniards in Cuba TO attempt
a pronunciamento and that soldiers ana
civilians alike. having accepted disaster
and its consequences with a dreary Ia
talist calm are fast drifting into anarchy.
Insurgent bands are enjoying immunity
in the commission of outrages and plum
dering. This is especially true in. the
western provinces, where the Insurgents
bitterly complain that they have been
ignored and abandoned by the United
States. and, being left utterly destitute
can only save themselves from starva-
ton by rapine. Without food, medicine
and clothing, they are dying like flies
and. unfortunately, 1t is the best element
among the insurgents that are suffering
most severely
The Times, in an editorial, draws atten-
ton TO the difficulties facing the Wash
inaton Government and to the adyisa-
biity that the peace conference be not
unduly protracted.
A TERRIBLE STORY.
The correspondent relates terrible stories
of anarchy and says the American Gov
ernment is apparently attempting to sup
press the truth. AS an instance, he gives
the following story, which he relates was
suppressed by the censor at Key West:
"A band of insurgents attacked recently
the Providencia sugar-factory near
Guines, one of the richest in Cuba. The
guerilla force which was retained TO de-
fend the property until the arrival Of the
American forces surrendered. The insur-
gents invaded the enclosure, where they
found a lot OF reconcentradoes. They
stripped the women naked and placed
them in line, firing from behind them at
the guerillas. thus making it impossible
for the defenders Of the factory to return
the fire."
The correspondent declares that the
most terrible effect of the prolonged civil
war in the island is the almost total de-
struction of the white population, which
has left Cuba almost as black as Haiti.

DISCHARGES FROM THE ARMY.
how They Are 10 he Procurcd-wnr
Department Says War is Not over.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. September 1s.-
The following statement is given out at
the War Department:
THE War Department is tust at pres
ent undergoing an experience which H.
iusrates the alacrity with which the
average American citizen hastens TO his
senator or Representative in Congress
Tor aid in emergencies.
The cessation OF hostilities and The i'm
PROBABILITY OF their renewal. with the
duiness of camp life, have apparently
created feeling of restlessness among
the men OF the volunteer army. who In
the majority of cases have given up po-
sitons OF larger compensation. and many
or them are imploring their political rep
resentatives 10 obtain their discharge.
anu the latter In turn are flooding the
War Department with requests for
prompt and immediate action.
ITO such an abuse OF privilege has this
grown that the War Department has been
Obliged 10 call attention to that para
graph OF the army regulations which re-
quires that all communication from SUI
bordinates TO superiors must pass through
military channels. and TO decline, as a
rule, to entertain applications for dis
charges of enlisted men unless they come
to it in the proper manner.
HOW TO PROCEED.
"a soldier who is desirous of securing
his discharge, and has good and sufficient
reasons upon which &C. base It, will save
himself a great amount of time and
trouble II ne will set forth the reasons
for his discharge In a letter addressed to
the adjutant-gener of the army, and
hand IT to the captain of his company.
who In turn is required TO forward IL 70
the colonel of the regiment and the lat
ter TO pass II along through brigade, di-
vision. and corps headquarters. with their
recommendations. Unless this Is done
the department will send the paper back
20 the company commander for his re-
commendation and that takes time,
which may be saved by following the
proper rule.
The department has also promulgated
another ruling in this connection, which
is TO the effect that public policy will not
permit at this time the consideration OF
applications for the discharge Of men
serving in the Philippine Islands. Homo
lulu, Cuba or Porto Rico. The reasons
for this are obvious. Aside from the ques-
tion Of transportation involved. and the
necessity Of supplying the places Of men
who are to be discharged with others from
the States, IL is TO be remembered that
the war is not over, and that much de-
pends upon the results Of the delibera-
tons OF the peace commissioners who
have sailed for Paris"

There Was a Very Large Crowd In
Attendance
A QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
AFTER Long Argument the Point
Dropped-Certified to the County
Court-Bail Allowed I'm the Sum of
$4,000

PETERSBURG. VA, September 49,
Especial w. G.. Baldwin, of
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Agency, who is charged with the killing
OF Henry Hawkes. (colored), at Wilson's
Depot, on Friday last, appeared before
Justice Gerow. of Dinwiddie county, for
examination this morning. He was ac-
companied by his counsel, Judge w. II.
Mann, of Nottoway. and Hon. George s.
Bernard, of this city. The prosecution.
or rather the family Of the deceased,
was represented by MIR. G.. S. Wing, of
Nottoway county. and Mr.. James T. Rahi~
ly. Of this city. The case has excited such
widespread interest that a large crowd
was present to witness the proceedings.
ON HISTORIC GROUND.
There being no adequate house accom-
modations for the crowd. the Court de-
cided to sit out in the open air. The ses-
sion was held on the Falconer farm near
this city, the site of General Lees head
quarters during the last months of the
siege Of Petersburg in 1865.
The question of the jurisdiction Of the
justice in the case was raised and elabo-
rately argued. The prosecution main
tanned that the case should be heard be-
fore a magistrate at or near the place Of
the killing and not in another district
twenty-five miles away. There was an
interesting argument on this point, and
authorities were quoted pro and con- Be
4 4
cision, however, the counsel on both sides
held a conference, agreed to drop this
point, and consented that the examina-
ton should be waived and the case GER
tilted to the County Court. on this an
nouncement's being made to the Court,
Justice Gerow sent the case on for the
action Of the grand jury at the October
term Bail was asked for and granted in
the sum of 5000 for the appearance OF
the accused for trial. His bondsmen are
his counsel Judge Mann and Mr.. Ber-
nard.
1t was stated by Lawyer c. 5. Wing
during the proceedings before the Justice
this morning that the warrant for the
arrest Of w. II. Hawkes. charged him with
a misdemeanor committed i'm Nansemond
county was issued by magistrate Of
Nottoway. placed in Baldwin's hands as
a special constable for execution, was
made returnable in Nansemond, and was
served In Dinwlddie. 1t is now in posses
sion of the magistrate in Nansemond
county before whom Hawkes. was taken
and by whom he was bailed Mr.. wing
also stated that he himself had notihed
the Norfolk and Western railroad authorl-
ties that H. w. Hawkes. had been inter-
fered with by employees of the company,
and that trouble with him was feared.
With a single exception all OF the wit
nesses for the prosecution and defence
were present to-day. Detective Baldwin
was very anxious for the examination to
take place. for the reason, as he said, that
he wanted the public to know all OF the
facts in the case. which he feels assured
will Justify his action. He has son at
Roanoke who is very Ill with appehoiciuis'

WASHINGTON, ID. C., September H.
It is the present intention of the admin

indications now are that 1t may be seve-
raj months before the Cuban commits

"The attitude of the American army off,

FILIprNos RECRUIT THEIR ARMY.
Rumors That Americans Propose to
to Re-EstabIish Spanish Rule.

LONDON September 20-The Manila
correspondent of the Times says:
THE insurgents, urged by constant
rumors of the intention OF America to
re-establish Spanish rule in the archi-
pelago, continue actively recruiting their
army. Hundreds from Manila are en-
listing daily, and troops are being drilled
everywhere. Great diligence is exhibited
in initiating the American formation and
manual, particularly In volley-fring. En-
trenchments In certain positions are
being strengthened, and vigilant line
of pckets is kept outside the suburbs
At the same time. the attitude of the
insurgents is much more friendly than
it was before the evacuation.
Seven thousand rifles have recently
been landed and four new Maxims have
also been received. The provincial lead
ers are paying into the insurgent trea-
sury a certain portion OF the fund cap
tured from converts, processing TO re-
serve the remainder for the payment Of
their troops BY this means they keep
practically Independent of the central
authorities, preserving the integrity Of
their own commands. A general occupy

$500 in cash last week
CLERICAL INFLUENCE.
"The agitation among the insurgents is
stimulated by the Clerical party, which
uses every effort 10 influence the natives
against American occupation. Evidence
TO this effect is absolutely trustworthy,
although Archbishop DoZal and other
prominent ecclesiastics strenuously deny
all knowledge Of such action, and solemn
" disclaim personal participation in IT,
Strikes In all industries are becoming
more extensive daily and the labor ques-
ton is fast growing serious. The Ameri-
cans unwisely continue TO pay nearly
three times the usual wages. causing dis
content to spread rapidly in every class
of workmen. The strikers naturally drift
into the insurgent ranks. and consequently
labor disturbances are not discouraged
by the leaders.
THE OREGON AND THE IOWA.
"The news from Washington that the
battleships oregon and Iowa have been
ordered here and that 6o,000 tons OF coal
would be shipped Immediately, is inter-
preted by the Americans as proof OF the
