boisterous chorus The governor at

restored Chairman MplliSh finished tha
sentence which the audience had re-

read. 1t ran as follows:
IF Secretary Alger had been given
full power such things would never

The transformation of the audience
was then humiliatingly complete to all
who We're present. There were cheers
and repeated calls for Governor Pin
gree, but he had left the hall and re-
fused to return.

Paving Dutv For Gift Food.

Washington, Sept. S.-A cable mes
sage was received from Havana yester-
day stating that the Spanish author
tiles absolutely refused to allow the
Comal to land the provisions which she
carried for the starving inhabitants Of
Cuba unless the full duty was paid.
Secretary Alger thereupon ordered the
duties upon the million rations to be
paid, and directed that they be dis
tributed under the supervision of the
United States officers. Whatever opin-
ion the department might have of the
action of the Spanish AUTHORITIES it is
believed that the United States can
not afford to allow the people who are
hungry to suffer because the Span
iards insist upon the payment of the
full duty.

the government now requires in Cuba

army than the regular military estab-
