San Francisco, Sept. 2e.-There was
great joy among the troops at the Pre-
sido when the official orders were re-
ceived from Washington directing over
5000 men now encamped there to pro-
coed to Manila. But sorrow hung heavy
over the camps of the Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth California regiments, the
California heavy artillery and Fourth
United States cavalry, who were not
included in the order. General Miller
has asked his commanding officers to
make their requisitions for clothing,

y. ANARCHY IN CUBA.
1nsurgent Bands Enjoy Immunity
- in Plunder and Rapine. -.
DEsTITUTION DRIVES TO CRIME.

This Is Especially True In the Western
Provinces. Where the Insurgents
Complain They Have Been Ignored
ana Abandoned by the United states.
London, Sent. 2O-The Times pub
fishes letter from a Havana corre-
spondent in which the writer points
out that, though, as in the mother
country. there appears no disposition
among the Spaniards of Cuba to at
tempt a prOnuncamento, the soldiers
and civilians alike having accepted the
disaster and Its consequences with a
dreary fatalistic calm. the island is
fast drifting into condition of an
archy. InsurGent bands, the CORE
spondent says, are enjoying immunity
in the commission of outrages and
plundering. and this is especially true
in the western provinces, where the in
surgents bitterly complain that they
have been ignored and abandoned by
the United States. and, being left ut
terly destitute, can only save them
selves from starvation by rapine. With
out food, medicinz and clothing, they
are dying like flies, and unfortunately
1t Is the best elements among the in
surgen.s that are suffering most Sc
vercy.
The correspondent relates terrible
stories of anarchy, and says the Amer
lean government is apparently at
tempting to suppress the truth. AS an
instance he gives the following story.
which he declares was suppressed by
the censor at Key West:
A band of insurgents attacked re-
Gently the Providencia sugar factory
near Guines. one of the richest in Cuba
The guerilla force which the proprietor
maintained to defend his property I'M
til the arrival Of the Spanish troops
was obliged to surrender, because the
Spanish troops now do nothing to sup
press lawlessness. The insurgents in
vad"d the inolcsurc. where they found
L lot of reconceltrados. They stripped
the women naked, and placing them
in line fired behind them at the gueri-
las, thus making it impossible for the
defenders of the factory to return the
fire.
The correspondent declares that the
the prolonged civil war in the island
is the almost total destruction of the
white population, which has left Cuba
almost as black as Hayti.
The Times in an editorial article
draws attention to the difficulties fac
ing the Washington government and
to the adrisabi'ity that the peace con-
ference be not unduly prOtrlctel.

A Fair prODOSaI TO StrIkers.

Ptttsburg. Sept. 20.-1t Is known that

cessation of hostilities. James & Son
will propose that pending a final set
element they will pay the district price,
withdraw suits against the imprisoned
strikers, allow them pay for lost time
and take back all strikers on equal
basis with those at work. The peace
commissioner shall be any common

shall be submitted and whose decision

the miners officials will sign the pro-

rest of the way in Pullman. 1t took
the trainmen about half an hour to put
off the obstreperous soldiers, and the
