never more urgent than now.-Erenins
Journal.
There is no reason why the men who
till the county Offices should not make
the necessary indexes themselves and in
their spare moments. There is not q
man in the Court House who does not
have time to spare, and none of them is
overworked; they all receive good re-
turns for their public labor, although no
one but those who have enjoyed the
offices know how much. Under the new
order Of things these county officers are
to receive fixed salaries, although the
new Recorder Of Deeds will be paid by
the fee system during his term, the slug
glsh General Assembly of last winter
having failed to pass the necessary salary
act.
The matter of these indexes is an abuse
that has been growing for years, and
now is the time to stop such nonsense
The General Assembly should provide
that all county officers shall, make in
dexes of their records and during their
own time. They will be paid regular
salaries and they should do the county
work properly. There is nothing to
prevent any of these officers from neg
Letting to keep proper records, thus
compelling special act few years later
on. lhe records are necessary, and from
personal experience we know that few
years ago it was impossible to obtain any
Information as to matters of the past in |
one particular Office, no records having
been kept.
Inc money just paid out by the Levy
Court of this county was far in excess of
' wnat y the work was worth. From an un.
otlclal source we are told that the pay
allowed was at the rate of eight dollars
an ~ hour for the actual time employed bv
'ne lndex.makers during the nearly
nineteen months that elapsed between ,
me passage of the act and the allowance
of the $1,000 That was magnificent rec
ompense to say the least We have no
detailed statement of how the bill for
seven thousand dollars was run up, and
we 90 not imagine for an instant that
me men employed worked eight hours
lay TOR SIX days in the week, as thev
should have done to earn the money re-
'elVed' 1t is too late now to save the
county. The money is gone. The county
las the indexes and the taxpayers are
'ut their money. But the grab should
lot be repeated, and that is the best
hat can be hoped for. Scores of capable
'oung men could have been found for
fifteen or twenty dollars week, and
he entire work might have been ac- ,
in nine months or SO This
ostly reminder OF Democratic extrava-
ance shows that the voters made no
alstake in November last when they
iected Republican majority in the
'eneral Assembly. Morning Neus.

PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Havana VIII he Attacked by Two
Divisions of the American Army.

Lieutenant Colonel A. L. Wagner, chief
of the military information division of
the War Department and member of the
Army and Navy Defense Board, was in
consultation for several hours yesterday
with the naval war board regarding plans
for Intervention in Cuba. Comprehensive
plans for the cooperation of the Army
and Navy were exhaustively discussed at
this conference.
The first step of the Administration in
carrying out the wishes of Congress,
when they shall have been expressed by
the passage of resolutions empowering
the intervention of the President to end
the war In Cuba, will be to make a for
NAL demand upon Spain to withdraw her
forces from Cuba, and leave the insur-
gents in undisturbed possession of the
island. A copy of the resolution will ac-
company this demand.
1t is understood that the active work of
the Army in Cuba, as at present planned
by the joint board of the Army and Navy.
contemplates the sending of troops to
Cuba in two grand divisions.
One of these divisions will land in the
neighborhood of Havana on the side of
the city where the defenses are weakest,
and there will entrench themselves and
lay siege to the city in conjunction with
the naval blockade to be maintained out
side of the harbor.
The other division of the Army, ii is
understood, will operate in the eastern
end of the island, supporting the insur-
gents and supplying them with all neces-
sary arms.
" lille a few days may be given to
Spain in which to reply to the demand
orders TO concentrate the available
troops of the Regular Army in the
South. to mobilize the National Guard
and to direct the naval forces to be in
readiness to execute the campaign
plans which have been prepared will be
issued in advance of lfer reply, which
it is believed by the authorities will be
made by her warships rather than by
her diplomats.
Should Congress decide to recognize
the independence of the Republic of Gu
ba and the President should approve the
resolution diplomatic representatives
will be formally appointed Immediately
by the United States and Cuban gov
ernments. and duly accredited and rec
ognized.
The insurgents, on account of their ac-
quaintance with the topography and the
existing conditions in the island. will be
relied upon in great measure to direct
the details and scope OF the military OPP
erations.
Supported by the United States troops,
they will advance toward Havana from
the East in an effort to drive the Span
ish army toward that city. The plan is
to ultimately consolidate the two divis-
ions of the army around Havana and
thus reduce the city by seige upon all
sides. The reduction of the Matanzas
forms a part of the department plans.
Should it be necessary to send troops to
Porto Rico third division of the Army
will be utilized to cooperate with and
furnish arms and supplies to the inhabi-
tants, who it is expected, will rise in re-

LUCAz, CUBAN FUGITIVE.
Gives The Times IN Horrible StOr,
Of Spanish Cruelty.

Some interesting characters, as well as
some Objectionable ones, are fiocking to
this city. owing to the war excitement
In the interesting class is Young Lucas,
or Lucaz, a former Cuban guerrilla, who
reached Washington yesterday morning,
and spent last night at the Municipal
Lodging House, in charge of Capt. Cut
Ter.
Lucaz is coffee-colored negro, about
forty-three years of age, and a native of
Porto Rico. He is intelligent and speaks
fairly good English. with a strong Span
ish accent.
Lucaz is a refugee from a Spanish port.
but is still patriotic to the core for Cuba
libre, and is trying to get back to the
island to again measure machetes with
1.-THE treacherous Spaniards, as he calls
them.
A little over one year ago he was a
member of Enrique Banderos' detach-
ment of Cuban guerrillas, then operating
in Santa Clara province. During one of
the fierce charges. for which the guer-
rillas are noted, Lucaz was cut off from
his command and captured by the Span
iards. After suffering the horrors of
Spanish prison for nearly six months,
he was deported to Porto Rico, there to
be held under surveillance.
He remained in Porto Rico about one
year, during which time Spanish spies
and agents frequently urged him to join

volt against the Spanish authorities.
While the sending of an army TO Spain
is scarcely anticipated by the authorities.
provisions for such a movement have not
been omitted from the general scheme
for the prosecution Of the war.
The commissary department of the
Army is making extensive preparation
for supplying food not only for the armies
in the field but for relieving the starving
population of Cuba
The Navy will take the initiative in the
Administration plans of Intervention. The
Key West fleet, under Commodore Samp-
son. will at once sail for Havana. and the
flying squadron, under Commodore
Schley. will make a dash for Porto Rico.
II active Intervention is to be made as
quickly as the situation now indicates
is probable the Spanish naval forces
will not have time to arrive in the Gulf
of Mexico to render material assistance
i'm the defense of the Spanish possessions.
which is not believed by the authorities
to be a part of their plan of campaign
The United States naval forces will be.

The Wife of PericIcs.

In recent letter on THE Age of Peri
cles," Miss Josephine Walton devoted
considerable time to Aspasia, the gifted
wife of Pericles. the 'Olympian Jove. a"
as Pericles was called. because of his
great and awe-inspiring demeanor. As
pasta was not legally married TO the great
Athenian, she said. and could not be be-
cause she was a foreigner. but Pericles
always considered her his wife, and ac-
knowledged her as such. She was a wo-
man of most remarkable powers of mind
