STARVING IN HAVANA.
A sad Picture of DestitutiOn in Gu

From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Kingston, Jamaica, Wednesday, June 10.
Sister Mary Wilberforce, an English wo-
man connected with the Red Cross So
ciey a resident of Havana for more than a
year, was expelled from Cuba by Gen
Blanco, and has arrived here on the Brit
ish cruiser Talbot.
She says the condition of the civil pop
ulation in Havana is simply indescribable
Many deaths are occurring daily from
starvation. She has known of cases where
cultured. refined ladies, some being Amer
leans, shut themselves in their houses,
scoring to ask aid of Spaniards, preferrlng
to die in silence.
81 have here" said the sister, "a list of
70 women and children, the majority of
whom are Americans, who actually have
no food nor means with which to pro-
cure it.
''They have nothing TO look forward to
but death from hunger
There are more than $50 European wo-
men and children, whose names are on my
books, to whom l have given aid OCCASION
ally and who / know are absolutely with
out means of existence.
''To show the condition of the town
may use this incident A few days before
i
men, gaunt and emaciated, went in process
sion to the palace, calling on Gen. Blanco
to give them food to appease their appe-
tiles temporarily.
"A small supply was handed over.
1.-THE soldiers have fun rations for two
months.
"The palace has supplies for three
months.
1.-THE rainy season has not commenced,
and there is but little sickness among the
troops.
1.-THE American relief supplies in the Gus
tom house, transferred to Mr.. Gollan, the
British consul, were confiscated by the
Spaniards.
Mr.. Gollan verbally agreed to give them
up, and they were taken out on the night
of May 10 and transferred to the military
authorities.
''Many Anne. Jeans are in prison. know
of six in Cabanas.
"Their cells are roomy and airy, but
their food is bad and insufficient.
MANY Cubans have been arrested re-
Gently on trumped up charges of con-
spiracy.
There is no doubt if the city is in dan
ger of being taken the Cuban prisoners
will be massacred.
THE Americans, probably, will be ex-
changed.
Gen Blanco states he will reduce the
town to aSneS before ne VIII SURRENDER
81 have seen all through the fortifica-
tons and do not think they are so strong
as has been believed.
81 was expelled on the charge of furn-
ishing supplies to the Americans-Spain's
enemies.
~ protested that it was only 20 women
and children had given relief, and asked
Gen. Blanco if he warred against these.
II refused to go, and barricaded myself
in my house.
THE police broke open the doors and
took me by force on board the Talbot.
"They sconfscaied my private supplies
and refused to allow me to leave a little
money to carry on the work l had under
taken.

swear by one idol and refuse to see the
changes that occur in mundane affairs.

PRATT CONFIRMED.

Arthur Pratt has been confirmed
chief of police. Luckily for him he
had two strings to his bow, and when
the combine in the City Council re-
jected him, all he had to do was to 20
before the Supreme court. The fun
text of the decision, which was an
nounced this forenoon, is not at hand
at this writing, hence its points in de-
tail cannot be definitely stated. but
the court grants the petition for "a
mandamus to compel the city auditor
to draw his warrant in favor of the
petitioner in payment OF his salary as
chief of police. including the month OF
January of this year. II is thus set
tied that Arthur Pratt was chief of
police Of this city up TO the close of
that month; and 1t follows that he is
yet.

which to move for rehearing. Fail

JUDGE POWERS AND THE .Nrws.,

The Democratic organ uslnuates that
the News is not sincere in com
mending the utterances of Judge Pow
ers regarding the relations of the
Mayor and city Council, contained i'm
an Interview with the Judge which an.
peared in this paper on Tuesday last.
1t also insinuates that the Judge was
not sincere in making those utter
ances. In support of It's inuendoes II
says in substance that there was a
time when the News" was opposed to
Judge Powers
with one exception, every newspaper
writer, every man Interested In politics.
and even every voter in Utah, has long
since recognized the fact thot a con-
ditlon prevails In this state now which
is quite different from that which ex-
listed before division came" With the
single exception referred to, II has
come to be recognized as the very
acme of Stiffness. beyond which II Is
impossible for imbecility to CO. 10 ques-
tion any mans sincerity because his
political friends since division" are not
the same identical ones he had before
that event. The phenomenal exception
alluded to Is the editorial writer for
the Democratic organ. with COM
medable fidelity to his Bourbon breed
ing he refuses TO either learn or forget
anything.

that Judge Powers is more than able
to take care of hiHssel: in any brush

THE REASONING OF A RoBBER. (.

There exists In all men an element
called conscience. 1t Is the gift or
instinct by which man tiiscerns right
from wrong. when he does wrong in
violation Of Its dictates. 1t prods and
smites him md makes him uncom-
Portable or oven miserable. Conscience
is always In harmony with the faith,
the belief, that is In the Individual: in
deed. II is the direct result. the prod
uct. the outgrowth of that faith. Con-
science will always approve what the
individual believes to be right, and 1t
will always condemn what he believes
to be wrong. Hence IL the individual
desires to do something that is wrong
and sim escape the pangs OF remorse.
he must proceed to convert himself into
the belief that the wrong thing he
wishes TO do is really not wrong but
right, or at least justihahe
An excellent Illustration of the truth
NJ this is found In a memorandum
taken from the body of a Boston bur-
Glar who was shot dead by policemen,
but not until after he had shot two
of the officers who We're pursuing him;
AS am out Of WORK and there Is no
hope or chance of getting any, there
are three things that Il man can do.
First, he can he hobo and sleep In

Begging is crime for which you are
liable To get six months in the house of
correction, and when your time Is up
You can get out and then take to
begging agaln-then get another six
months. This really means that a
man must suffer Imprisonment for
the rest Of his life. Second he can
commit suicide; but providing he is
not successful he may get ten years
Tor the attempt Third, he can try a
hold-up or the sand-bag act; but that
calls for Il sentence of twenty years
or perhaps hanging. So man with

Those who still indulge in guesses as
to the fate Of Andree and his COM
panions in the Arctic regions believe
either that the balloon descended into

where they may have been able to sur
NiVe the winter. An expedition Will
presently be sent out in search of the

Besides being depraved in other

Of the worst criminals including muir
