island Residents here are fearful that
serious disorders will arise before the
eitv has been evacuated by the span

brought about by the irritation OF the
soldiers at the continued delay of their
pay. Six. eight, and in some cases ten
months are due them, and they are
claiming that they should at least pc

order to satisfy the outcry, the govern

amount in arrears. This does not, how

was adopted, but no payment followed,

lowest estimate of the sum due is

But whatever may be the condition
of the Spanish soldier, the Spanish otti-
Ger is not returning with pcckets

pay for support. but has seized what
ever opportunity offered. Those return
ING from Jucaro- Moron trocha have
brought their wealth with them. In
the cities it has been the same, only to
a greater degree. In one case, two years
ago. a Spanish officer arrived with
scarcely a possession except his uni
form. His pay has been in arrears for
some time, but his wealth is now esti-
mated at more than 100000, and he is
tfe owner Of some of the finest houses
in the city.
The officers themselves are remark
ably frank in regard to the matter
They admit they have done no fighting
and that their campaign in the country
has been merely enc of loot. They had
no desire to end the war; on the con-
trary. in many instances they encour-
aged the insurgents and sold them
arms and ammunition. When Gomez
was reported to march one way they
would march another. A few shots

the people of Cuba, ruined by the late

Shameful Neglect of Stricken Ameri-
can Official.

New York, Nov. g.. A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: DR.. Brun-
ner has written a strong letter to Sur
geon General Wyman of the United
States marine service, urging the i'm
portance of the immediate presence in
Havana of competent yellow fever
physicians and nurses. Dr. Brunner,
in unmeasured terms, condemns the
policy of giving incompetent Cuban
physicians charge of those Americans
connected with the quartermaster's s
and comnlissary departments who fall
Ill.
Steward, quartermaster's clerk, who
has yellow fever, is very low. His re-
covery is almost impossible. Should
he die, an investigation is probable, and
if it is had, it may show that his life
was the forfeit of the neglect of those
who should have looked out for him.
Then, too, his removal at a critical
stage of the disease from the Hotel
Pasaje to Quinta del Rey hospital, ap-
pears to have been reprehensible. Stew
ard had been neglected by all others
connected with the quartermaster's de-
partmeRt, until some newspaper cor
respondent became disgusted and pro-
vided purse for the purpose of giving
the poor fellow the needed nurse and
medicines. This came to the ears of
General Wade, who instructed DR..
Laine to have Steward removed from
the Pasaje. This was done against the
protests from the patient. He was
taken to q dirty, poorly-equipped place,
where the nurses speak only Spanish.
He has since constantly failed, and
only a miracle can now save him.
DIR. Laine, who is q Cuban physician,
though attached to the American COM
mission, Notwithstanding that four
cases of yellow fever had occurred in
that hotel, yesterday requested DR..
Brunner to- sign with him a paper
stating that the hotel is not infected.
DR.. Brunner indignantly refused, and,
upon the facts heretofore given, based
his letter of protest to Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman.
Representatives of American firms
doing business in HaVana have formed
the nucleus of a chamber of commerce,
which will be completely organized
later in the week. This organization
is intended to protect American inter-
ests in the city when Americans take
charge of the custom house, to give
the officials every possible support in
the way of preventing smuggling OF
evasion of customs.

ELECTION JUDGES ATTACKED
POLLING PLACE IN BUTTE WAS
INVADED.
Masked Men Order Judges to Hold Up
Their Hands, But Are Resisted
Deputy Wounded, Checker Killed.

Butte. Mont, Nov. 9.-Shortly before
o'clock this morning, while two jcdges
were counting the votes in the Dublin
gulch precinct of Butte, two men, with
bandkerchiefs over their faces, ap-
peared at the door of the polling place.
Thev had revolvers in their hands. The
order to throw up hands was given.
There were five judges, two clerks, two
checkers, a deputy sheriff and several
spectators present. Several threw up
their hands. Dennis O'Leary, the dep
uty sheriff, jumped at one of the men.
Both began firing. John DAILY one of
the checkers, was shot in the stomach,
and O'Leary's shoulder was shattered.
The masked men escaped at once. and
all efforts to trace them have been un-
availing. Both wounded men were
taken to the hospital DAILY died on
the way there. The precinct where
the shooting occurred is a strong DEM
ocratic precinct, and some think it was
an attempt to steal the ballot box. The
general opinion, however, is that it was
an attempt at robbery, as some Of the
men in the polling place were known
to have considerable money.

seley responding for their respective
forces, which were described as being
in a perfect state of preparedness to
meet any power disputing Great Bri-
tain's just claims.
The brevity of the speeches showed
that everyone realized the general anX-
iety to hear the Marquis of Salisbury,
who, on rising to respond to the toast
of Her Majesty's Minister'S" was
greeted with prolonged cheers. The
premier began by saying that a sue
cession of events abroad had occa-
stoned grave anxiety to the ministry
for year past He alluded to the mur-
der of the empress of Austria, for the
double purpose of expressing the uni
versa1 regret experienced on account of
the crime, and for announcing that
Great Britain had accepted an invita-
ton to take part in q. conference which
would be called to determine upon the
measures which it is possible to take
in order to blot out anarchy. The
Marquis of Salisbury added that at
the same time he was bound to say
that he had no great hope that legis-
lation would abate 'this horrible, mon
strous affliction of humanity"
LAUDS BRITISH CAMPAIGNS.

and in the Soudan, the premier turned

Continuing, the premier remarked: !:
The solution of this most difficult
problem has witnessed displays of
splendid and unexpected qualities and
diplomacy upon the part of the ad-
mirals, who have successfully accom-
plished what the cabinets of Europe
had been unable to do. [ have some
times thought that if the cabinets were

the premier remarked: 1--WE have had,

After referring to the various rumors

Of a protectorate over Egypt, the lat
ter being received with great cheering,
Lord Salisbury continued:

not venture to prophesy if we are

CZAR's PROPOSALS.


Referring again to the war prepara-
tions. and asking his hearers to look
at the state of the world, Lord Sails
bury observed: The czar has invited
a congress to provide for the disarm-
ament of the world, but while we offer
our heartiest tribute to his motives and
are willing to assist and sympathize IN
every way until the happy day Wnen
his aspirations are crowned with sue
cess, we must still provide precautions
needful to counteract the dangers sur
rounding US. In some respects this
era, this great epoch in the history OF
man. is marked by unhappy omens. 1t
is the first year in which the mighty
force of the American republic has
been introduced among nations, whose
dominions are expanding and whose in
struments, to a certain extent, are war.
Il am not implying the slightest
blame Far from it. [ am not refuS-
ing sympathy to the American republic
in the difficulties through which it has
! passed, but no one can deny that us

diplomacy. is a grave and serious event,
which may not cQnduce to rle interests
| OF. peace, though 1 think, i'll my event,
it is likely to conduce to the interests
| of Great Britain. (Cheers.)
WAR FEELING PREVAILS.
But with this impressed upon US, is
! that the subject matter of war is ter
ribly prevalent on all sides. We see
nations decaying, whose government is
| so bad that it can neither maintain the
| power of self-defense or retain the al

| occurs there are always neighbors I'M
| PEELED by some motive-it may be the
highest philanthropy or it may be the
| natural desire of empire-to contest as
to who shall be heir to the falling ma

Lord Salisbury then alluded to the
rapidity and unexpectedness with
which war breaks out, and said: II
! Great Britain should ever permit he1
| self-defenses to weaken her whole en-
pire would come gathering to the
ground 1t is, therefore, impossible IN
! the present state and temper of the
world to intermit our naval and mill

He concluded by "repudiating al
suggestion that our preparations NEAR

lust of conquest or a love of wal" de-
| claring that Great Britain was only
resolved to maintain the empire Brit
ons have received from their fore
fathers, and to support the peace WHICH

| pire."

sembly marked the conclusion Of the
premier's speech.
