Intended to DepopuIate Cuba.

The opinion Is expressed that it was the
intention of the contriver of this policy
to depopulate the island and repeople it
with Spaniards. 1t is also asserted that
the Spanish government has violated the
laws of civilized warfare in the slaughter
of prisoners and the massacre of sick and
wounded. The committee discuss at
some length the two propositions for the
recognition OF the independence of the
Cubans and of intervention. They say that
because of the attitude of the United States
this government has placed Itself in con-
currence with the acts of Spain ever since
the beginning of the war. and that we have
in a spirit of forbearance submitted to
many atrocities perpetrated by Spain upon
our own citizens, which, under recognition.
would have had no warrant in International
law, and would have afforded just ground
of procedure by this government. Hence
II is claimed that there has been no real
neutrality throughout the entire war, as
Spain has had free rights OF purchase in
this country while the Cubans have not
had such rights.
The committee places the cost of our
policing of the seas in the interest of Spain
vt $2.0OO.000.

SEC. ALGER's OPINION.
Said Not to Believe Miles Said All He
Is Credited with-Merritt May
side with Miles.

WASHINGTON Aug. 31.-Secretary
Alger was quoted yesterday as saying
he did not believe General Miles made
half of the statements credited to him
by the Kansas City Star correspondent.
The secretary is quoted as having the
opinion that General Miles evidently
intended to draw the army aaministra-
ton into a discussion which would lead
to an official inquiry which in turn
would clear up some matters which he
wished to have exposed in justice to
himself.
Secretary Alger said: IF we do ask
General Miles whether he gave that IN
terview or not we will not publish the
fact and the newspapers won't know
anything about it. There is an evident
desire to have controversy ON this
subject, but there can be none and the
war department will take no part in
one.'
General Corbin said yesterday: Il
have issued no order of any Importance
except upon the authority and by direc-
ton of the secretary of war or the
president of the United States. They
are amply able, | take it, to protect
themselves and so far as am concerned
there are no explanations or apologies
to make
NEW YORK, Aug. 31.--A bitter fight
inside the war department is threatened
between Secretary Alger, GeneraI Cor
bin and others on one side and General
Miles, General Merritt and their friends
on the other. Miles has already aired
his grievances, and it is reported that
Merritt has few, too. There is long
enmity between Alger and Merritt, dat
ing from the courtmartial of Alger by
board of which Merritt was member
Merritt's partisans alleged that Alger
sent him to Manila to be rid of him.
President Mckinley, it was said, with
out Ayers knowledge, ordered Merritt
to go to Paris and then come home
Alger at first denied this order, not
having heard it.

Report That Three Spanish Vessels We're
Lost Near the Philippines,
Early In the War.

TACOMA. Aug. 3l.-Early in the war
Admiral Dewey captured the Spanish
gunboat Leyte, as it was returning to
Manila from one of the Philippine
islands. The Hongkong Daily Press
says the Leyte had been towing three
vessels loaded with 900 Spaniards who
were fleeing for fear of falling into the
insurgents hands.
A severe storm came up and CON-
PEELED the Leyte to leave her tows and
make for Matkla to secure assistance.
Later American warships were sent to
look for the three vessels, but they were
nowhere to o. found. 1t Is believed
that they lounuered with all on board

tiers OF In erest

New York, Oct. 15.-There is no use now
adays in bringing home fine frocks, odd
bonnets and gay wraps. You must fetch
instead something that is particularly
odd II may be ugly-in fact, it often is
but its popularity makes it a joy forever.
One girl know put all her money in
French poodle about three inches long and
two inches high, made of topaz, while the
curly part of him, and especially the tip
of his tail, was of clear white diamonds.
But there wasn't much originality in that.
She just went into jewelry store, picked
up what she wanted. and possibly paid her
bill. Possibly, if she had any sort of
credit she didn't pay her bill but she sent
over s. or $40 at a time until it was set
tied.
I like the English system. 1t induces you
to buy most beautiful thing that cost
big sums of money and then gives you
from two to five years to pay little sec
tons of money and in the meantime buy
something else to keep everything whirling
around, for what people really want are
absolutely odd things.
There is an Irish gentleman who con-
descends to keep a cake and apple stand

he might sail the ocean blue second class
and feel himself equal to Victoria herself.
He noticed that every shop and every
wagon had on it "Purveyor to the Prince
of Wales" "Purveyor to the Queen
"Purveyor to Her Royal Highness the
Princess of Wales" and after he had
told everybody over there what a great
country this was, where man could own
a railroad even if he could not sign his
own name then he concluded to freshen
up the old stand, so he got a sign-oh a
beautiful one, a blue background with gold
letters upon it. and these letters read.
