DETROIT, Mich, April 4.-In response to an inquiry whether, in case of war, he would follow the lead of New York's governor in recommending an appropriation for placing the state troops on war footing, Gov. Pingree wired as follows:
 I will recommend to the legislature now in session an appropriation of s5oo.00O for arming ard equipping the militia and volunteers for war service, and more if needed, and the en- listment of l50 men per company in case war is declared prefer. how ever, to recommend an appropria- tion of 20 times that amount to free Cuba without war In our country the poor fight the world and their children for three generations thereafter pay for it.

TENS OF THOUSANDS DOOMED
From 5O,0OO to 10000 Reconcentrados in Cuba Are Beyond Help, According
 to Rev. Eugene May.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Rev. Eugene May, who has been travelling in Cuba, returned to his home here yesterday. His report of the conditions in the island differs in essential detail from that of Senators Proctor, Gallinger, Thurston and others who have recent ly spoken and written on the subject. Dr. May says, in addition:
 The recent revocation of the reconcentrado order is farce, as the people to whom 1t ap- plies are too i'll to work and have nothing with which to start had they the strength. Blanks have been issued to the starving wretches which are to be filled out with acquisitions for whatever they need and sent to Havana The mockery Of 1t is that the farce ends with send- ing in the blanks Nothing more is ever heard of them The relief work Is going forward rapidly in 2l0 towns, but there are between 5), : 900 and 10000 reeoncentrados who must die, however generous the relief, for they are all ready beyond help

we will have a repetition of the Lewis
administration immortality, vice, viola
tion OF law and extravaganza, continued
futile efforts to get water from "Newlin"

law suits.
Doubtless the above is true, but
the Independents get off the track
and try to draw votes from the
Peoples ticket, the only one that
can beat the 'McGuire-Squyres'
ticket, by asserting again without
truth that in case the Peoples
ticket is successful the effort to
get water will be to pump it from
a hole at the foot of Santa Fe ave
nue., about 40 feet from the river
bank" 1t is astonishing that
such an attempt at deception

Views of the Independent
Continued From First Pagcl

judgement the Peoples ticket
offers more practical assurance OF
such enforcement than any other.
The Independents mean well in
this respect but they are in a hope
less minority and cannot possibly
elect their men, save George Nj.
Deibert, who is also on the Peo-
pies ticket.
In another place the handbill
asserts that:
The Union ticket represents continu-
alton of the present policy of municipal
control 1t means the coalition of A. r..
Gumaer with the Lewis and Champion
crowd, and signifies anything to down
"Mac" and perpetuate Squyres as mar
shal and Champion as town attorney. 1t
is unquestiouably the ranlsest and yilcst
history of Florence. The Squyres gang,
in their frantic efforts to remain in the
saddle, have enlisted the support of Gu
maer, who would sacrifice the best inter
ests OF Florence in his efforts to defeat
McCandless.
On the other hand we have the Peo-
ple's ticket, which is the McCandless
crowd pure and simple,
Therefore, say the Independents,
we are the only pure and perfect
people. Incidentally and in a
non-partisan way, it may be noted
that the people who attack both
A. r. Gumaer and james A. Nc
Candless have always been on ex-
cellent terms with both these gem
tlemen when the building of a
church or a big subscription to
some religious or social enterprise
was needed. The Tribune takes
the stand that the personal likes
or dislikes of Messrs McCandless
and GumaeI have nothing what
ever to do with this election. East
year they supported the same
ticket, this year they differ, as
they had previously done. But
that is no reason why either ticket
should be assailed. 1t is absolute
ly untrue that the Peoples ticket
is the McCandless crowd" This
can be asserted on the strength of
personal knowledge of the views
of the candidates.
The next declaration is that:
