GENERAL BLANcc IS
 GRADUALLY YIELDING.
hs Orders Troops Along the rrocha to CienfuegOs, Where They VII,
 Embark For Spain.

Havana, Oct. 2O.-senor Benitez. in. terpreter to the Spanish evacuation commissioners has delivered to the American commissioners two potos one announced that General Blanco on Tuesday ordered the evacuation of tba trocha from Jucar to San Fernandino the troops to move to Cienguegos prior to embarkation, and the cavalry to 20 to Placetas to sell their mounts and tban proceed to Cienfuegos. The evacuation or the troops is ordered to be completed py the first week in November.
 The Spanish commission further ran. resented the good offices of the Ameri. cans with a view to explaining the movements of the Spanish cavalry to. ward Placetas, so as to avoid reereta. ble clash with the Cuban troops on the road. Captain Hart, under instructions from the American commissioners wrote at once to Cuban headquarters explain. ing the matter in order to prevent any misunderstanding when the Cubans see the Spaniards galloping through their camps as if on war footing.
 General Parade, president of the Spanish evacuation commission, has un- officially informed Lieutenant Colonel Clouse that since the publication of General Blanco's decree 4500 Spanish soldiers and officers had asked an abso. lute discharge with the intention of re- maining on the island. General Para do estimates that more than 15, 900 will do so before the final evacuation.
 Colonel Sosa who is on the staff of Cuban General Dias visited Admiral Sampson Wednesday to explain the dis. tress and destitution of Cuban soldiers in the province of Pinar del Rio. The United States commission directed that 20,000 rations be sent them from the steamer City of Rio de Janeiro.

IF ALL WOULD WORK.
Professor Hertzka's Figures Are Interest.
 ing From Several Points of View.

Professor Hertzka's Figures Are Interest,"
 ing From Several Points of View.
 Professor Hertzka, tue eminent so- eiologist of Austria, has prepared an in- teresting table of figures on production under the system of association which the doetrinaires in social economics are trying to substitute for the present con- petitiye system of industry under which the trust fourishes and will continue to exist in modified form in spite of all the legal restrictions that may be devised.
 Hertzka figures out what labor will be required to produce the common necessaries Of life for the 22, 900, 900 in- habitants of Austria, with the result that all industries-agrieulture, archi- lecture, building, flour, sugar, coal, iron, machine building, clothing and chemical production-need6 615, 900 en- ployed II hours per day 800 days a year to satisfy every imaginable want. But these G15, 900 laborers are 12. 3 per cent of the population able to work, exclud- ing all women and all persons under 16 years or over 50 years of age. Hence, should the 5000, 900 men instead of 6l5, GOO be engaged in work they would need to work only 36 days every year to produce everything needed for the support of the population of Austria But should the 5, GOO, 900 work all the year-say 800 days-eaeh would need to work only hour 2h minutes per day. To produce all the luxuries in ad- dition these 5000, 900 would need to work only hours and 12 minutes a day for only about months in the whole year.
 If Hertzka'a s figures are correct, they strongly emphasize the fearful waste of energy under the present industrial sys- tenn of the world. Since this system has been in operation. however. as long as history gives any account of man progress it is not at all likely to bt changed just because the Socialists pro. duee figures which suggest injustiees. But if Hertzka should usher in new era along the lines of lis contention, al tho Weary WlIies and other tired and unhappy people of the earth would find flaws in his system because it dit not provide 3 way for them to Hyo without working at all.-St. Louis Re Dublic.

 dress before the Social Democracy of

 which he said:
 'Sobriety, industry and frUgality in

 n the long run. Then men with sad
 faces, who have always fulfilled the conditions but have seen little improve nent during lifetime of self repression, rose in their seats and demanded to Know when the day of emancipation would come. And the man from the schools answered them that not in one year, but in time, when these principles should have become universal, the la 0orer would be stronger than his master and he would grow out from under the capitalists heel as he had grown out rom other and worse oppression in times past.
 You can't get rid of capital by iorce he said, but if you are strong and clever enough to get it, then you can do anything you want with it. You are welcome to all of mine whenever you can get it. Some can get along bet ter under certain conditions than others. There is no great stress in life on those who are strong and understand the rules of the game. ]"

Both charges were light and it is the opinion they were placed to frighten the public, rather than destroy the property of the street railway com pany.
 Extra precautions have been taken, de- tectives have been employed and the track, as well as the cars, will hereafter be guarded by the sheriff's deputies and the city authorities.

KiTTIEs IN A JONKSHOP.
They Are ola Sewing Machines That Ars
 Bought For @I.
'Got any kitties?"

Bought For ss1.
 "Got any kitties?''
 The junk dealer looked startled, for the question betokened an intimate knowledge of the jargon of his kind.
 "Why, yes, I guess so, ; he responded when he could get his breath. What the buyer meant was an old sewing ma ahine which could be turned in to the sewing machine company as part pay ment on a new machine. The company allows $5 on an old machine, and some- times the agent or eanvasser allows $5 more out of his commission on the sale.
 The public imagines that in somo way these old machines are valuable to the company, but, in truth, they aro GE use only as arguments in forcing sale. En the standard makes of machines there is supposed to be absolutely no cut in prices, and the only way that a seeming reduction can be made is by taking in an old machine and allowing for it. The company does this not for the sake of getting the machine, but for the sake of making a trade Once the old timer is in their possession it is broken up and cold to junk dealer.
 The companies know, of course, that a large number of the families who turn in old machines said te have been bought by them before the flood really come from the secondhand stores and cost only $1. At this rate the buyer gete an allowance of S10, which, deducting the S1, leaves net $9. If there does hap pen to be an old one in the possession of the family, the whole $10 is realized.--
