Many American. LETT Rebind

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE British steam
or Strathdee Captain Currie, which left
Sagua, Cuba, on May 9, arrived in port
this morning, bringing as passengers forty
five Cuban refugees and American citizens
who were obliged to flee FOR their lives.
After the refugees had been on board the
steamer StratEdee for twelve hours several
Spanish officials came on board and closely
examined the passengers and wanted to
take several of them ashore, but owing to
the vigorous protest of the British consul
none was taken. The passengers say many
Americans were left behind in Cuba, not
having sufficient funds to pay their passage.
There were only few soldiers in the city,
as nearly all the Spanish forces had been
called to aid in the defense of Havana.
Sagua was not under the blockade when the
Strathdee left port. On the 10th inst. the
cruiser Machias and a torpedo boat hailed
the Strathdee, and on learning her destina-
ton permitted her to proceed.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 14.-Leading
Spanish citizens have inside information
brought here on the steamer Lafayette,
from Havana to Vera Cruz. Blanco has
shown great energy in preparing for the ex-
pected siege by the American fleet and land
forces. The city and forts are provisioned
for three or four months. 1t is believed the
mortality among the besiegers in the hot
and rainy season will compel the Americans
to raise the siege. Havana is now sur
rounded by intrenchments for thirty miles.
The troops in the garrison number 10000
Half that number are in the interior fight
ing the insurgents. The condition OF the re-
concentrates in Havana grows steadily
worse. The Spaniards ask them when their
Yankee benefactors are coming to relieve
them. The mortality is increasing among
this wretched class. who are begging for
morsels of food.
Nobody In Havana, except few higher
officials, knows that the Spanish fleet was
ANIMATED at Manila and 1t is believed that
the Americans were defeated there. Blanco
allows no unfavorable news to be circu-
lated. 1t is believed in Havana that the
campaign in the island will prove enor-
mouSly fatal to the Americans and will be
prolonged a year.
Another account is that food supplies in
Havana are good for much less time and
that Blanco is in trap unless the Spanish
fleet breaks the blockade to allow supplies
to come in. The Havana people continue
lfght-hearted and the theaters put on pieces
rldlcullng the American fleet

Controller Dawes at New YORK;.

NEW YORK, May 14--Mr. Dawes, con-
troller Of the currency, came from Wash
ington to-day, calling at Philadelphia on
the way, and visited some Of the leading
downtown banks and the subtreasury. AL
though he had taken the precaution to no.
tify the presidents of several of the banks
of his coming and his desire to see them,
it was declared that his visit was merely
one of courtesy. In some quarters, how
ever it was declared that his visit had ref
erence to the proposed war loan and the
part the national banks are expected to
take in floating it. Besides calling on the
leading bank presidents, Mr.. Dawes also
called on eX-Controller Trenholm and one

General Pando, the commander of the
Spanish forces in the field, left here for
Havana on Sunday, and heavy fighting took
place on Tuesday about thirty-one miles
from the city.
1.-THE British consul, who was the char
terer of the Adula, has sent to Jamaica his
family, several Cuban families and many
of the Cuban families in Cienfuegos in all
2S0 persons. AS the Adula was only pro-
visioned for 1870 passengers, there were short
rations for everybody on board, out no
body grumbled, all being glad to get
out of the blockaded city. The Adula
steamed out of Cienfuegos harbor on Tues
day afternoon, at which time the American
blockading squadron had been Increased by
large fighting ship, whose name was not
discernable, and by a big collier
Nothing is known here concerning the
reported bombardment of Cienfuegos by the
United States squadron but as the squad
ron was reinforced it is possible that the
commander may have felt strong enough to
engage the land batteries of Cienfuegos.

GALLANT TARS.
Concluded from First Page.)

yesterday, says: "Snce daybreak to-day
five of the enemy's ships have attempted to
cover landings at several points, but the
Americans were repulsed and re-embarked
their troops. AS there were no Spanish
ships available, the troops followed along
the shore the movements of the Americans
and prevented their attempts to land. Two
Americans were captured, a Spanish officer
was killed and few soldiers were wounded
The conduct of the Spaniards is worthy of
the highest praise. They fought the enemy
while the latter was backed by big guns"
It is probable that one of these alleged
"repulses of attempted landings of Amert-
cans on the coast of Cuba refers to the gal
liant manner in which parties from the Mar
blehead and Nashville cut the cable, under
fire, off Cienfuegos on Wednesday last, as
related in a cable dispatch to the Associated
Press from Key West to-day.

Annual Meeting at Walnut Ridge.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MORRISTOWN, Ind. May 14-The third
Sunday in May is always a great day with
the Quakers in the eastefn part of this
State. On that date they hold what they
term their May quarterly meeting at Wal
nut Ridge. This is a country church about
five miles from here and nearly the same
distance from Greenfield and Carthage. 1t
is a large brick edifice surrounded by
large natural grove. On Saturdays they
hold their usual business meetings and Sun
day is their missionary day. Their ahlest
speakers in the central States address them
and thousands are drawn there from far
and near. In recent years these meetings
have been disgraced by the riotous conduct
of toughs that attend for the purpose of
creating a disturbance. Last year bottles
were found scattered all around the premises
ana drinking was generally carried on. The
Friends are not to blame, however, as they
do their utmost to keep their crowds civil.
To-day and tomorrow are the days of their
meeting, and large crowd is expected.

PAupERIzING THE People.

Without abating jot the sympathy that
we felt for the unfortunate now housed in
the asyIums Of various kinds in this state,
we submit that something like maximum
has been reached in the annual expendi-
ture of $20,OOO,O00 upon them. Were the
state to go on till the crack of doom build
ing asylums, they would always be full.
So much easier is it to shift to the shout
ders, of aothers the burdens that a man
should carry himself, that we may be
sure that ii the lame, the halt and the
blind of our state did not take up all the
room provided for them, the space left
would soon be fialed with the unfortunate
from other states.
If care is not exercised in the manage
ment Of our public charities we shall be
confronted with the same evils that grew
out of the English poor laws-the pauper-
ization of a very large percentage of the
able-bodied population. = Rochester Post

A FUTILE ATTEMPT.
Burglars Fail to Get Anything
at Clark's Store.
Were Probably frightened BY Barking Of
Two oogs-curious Battle Between
Cat and Mink.

Oxford, Feb burglars made bold
attempt, some time Saturday or Sunday
night, TO enter Byron Clark's grocery
store on South Main street. The break
was effected on the north side Of the
store, by breaking pane of glass in a
lower sash, the catch being turned, but
for some reason they probably did not
enter, as Mr.. Clark has not missed any
thing. The window where the break
was, faces an alleyway which leads to
the Norwich and Worcester station. Mr.
Clark thinks that the parties were
frightened away, as there We're two
dogs in the building at the time, one
large mastiff belonging to Lawrence Z.
Kitty, superintendent of the ThayeP
Wooden Company of North Oxford, and
small rat terrier belonging to J. For
tin, who occupies a tenement directly
over the store. Both animals are good
watch dogs, and no doubt made some
noise which did not awake the occu-
pants, but frightened away the burg
lars. Mr.. Clark, who is a constable,
will look into the case and try and To-
cate the guilty party.
