tSpecia' Cable Despatch to The Sum-
Kingston, Jamacia, May 10.-Mr.
Fowler, tho British Consul ut Glen

who arrived here on tbe steamer
Adula, to send another vessel to
Cionfuegos to take away 800 per-
sons who are desirous of leaving

A New Yorker who owns the large

fuegos, has just arrived here. Ho
says:
"Tho ignorance of tho Spanish
officers will force thousands Of men
to needless death. I have talkel
with many officers and men, and all
stand doggedly determined to die to
man rather than yield even to over
whelming force. They declare that
they will die on tho island if they
must, but will never leave Cuba,
even though the Madrid Government
should order them to do so.
"This is foolish decision for this
century, but it is not blustcr They
will fight terribly, but not intelli-
gently. 1t is a mistake to think that
the Spanish troops arc underfed.
They have plenty Of food A com
manding officer told that Spain WAS
preparing to send n number of eup.
ply ships to the islands, and that tho
Cadiz fleet was waiting to convoy
them.
"Tho action Of tho American Gov.
ernment in declaring war against
Spain has increased tho forces of the
insurgents, Of whom. however, there
is not Il large number, by inspiring
them and attracting TO tbe field men
who are unable to support their fam
lies on $lG silver month, which is
all they can got"

" There seems to be little trouble
brewing between Governor Ellerbe
and tho State Board Of Control,
growing out Of certain hotels being
gronted and that they would have to
60.
At the recent meeting of the State
Board of Control it was expected
that some action would be taken in
the matter, but that body adjourned
without anything being done. Gov
ernor Ellerbe, it was thought, would
sond letter to the board, giving
them his views on tho subject and
suggesting n plan of action, but no
such letter was sent by the Gov
ernor
When asked about the matter,
Governor Eilerbe dictated the fol-
lowing, which was read to him and
approved as correct:
"As soon az tho chairman Of the
board arrived in the city, | sent for
him and talked with him and other
members of the board about the
abuses Of these hotel permits, and
the chairman assured me that it was
the intention Of the board to revoke
them, and that it would be done.
For that reason / sent no formal
communication to the board"
What tho outcome will be remains
to be seen. This ia matter about
which the board of control is su-
premo, and without mandate from
them, tho governor is poworless to
close up the hotel d;spensaries.
There may be some friction, but the
likelihood is that the board will ac-
quiesce in the governors wishes. At
any rate, the hotels can continue to
sell liquor to their guests until the
State board meets again.
