cause the reconcentrados by death were
becoming fewer.
1.-THE number of people who have
starved in Cuba will never be definitely
known. 1t is estimated that 500, 900
were driven from their homes into the
cities and towns. I had it from Span
ish authority that according to their
figures, 225,000 already have perished,
but it is said that the Red Cross soci-
ETY. is in possession of figures showing
that 425,0OO CubanS have died as a re-
suit of Spanish cruelty from starvation
and that 100000 more must inevitably
die.
of the Maine? do not know. This,
however, I do know: A government that
will deliberately starve 100000 of its
own people will do pretty much any
thing. If the ship was blown up from
the outside, what should our govern
ment do? Perhaps I should forbear
to discuss that question now; but this
will venture to say: Human life pur-
posely taken cannoN be paid for in gold
or silver. Mark my words 'purpOsely
taken and if it shall appear that such
was the fate of ESQ brave American sal
lors then heaven pity the guilty par
ties. It will not be a question for arbi-
tration but question involving the
dignity and honor of this great repub-
lie"
AS to what should be done Mr. Gal
Iinger felt that sooner or later this gov
ernment would of necessity absorb Gu
ba, but if annexation cannot now be ac-
complished, let independence speedily
come.
American interests in Cuba" said
he in conclusion, have already suffered
enough. We have patrolled our coast
in the interest of Spain as long as we
should and we have spent quite too
much money in protecting our people
from epidemic diseases coming to our
shores because of the unsanitary condi-
ton of the harbor and city of Havana.
Spain has failed to meet the require
ments of an advanced civilization. Let
the United States or Cuba take up the
problem and solve it.

reserve notes. 1t is conceivable and
probable that a large proportion of the
present legal tender notes will be con-
Verted into reserve notes and will cease
absolutely to be redeemable at the
treasury except in the restricted cases
of the failure, or liquidation of the bank
through which they are issued. If, how
ever, only a small portion of the legal
tender notes are thus absorbed, the
fact that they are cancelled when re-
deemed in gold by the treasury will
give them a value which will at once
remove all question of their prompt re-
demption and will give them substan-
TALLY the character of gold certificates.
The fact that a note is to be can
celled on redemption and not reissued
will tend very greatly to prevent its
presentation for redemption.
'The purpose and effect of the pro-
posed bill,'' says the report, ''is to
throw upon the national banks the en-
tire burden of finding gold for the notes
of the country. There is no doubt of
the ability to do this if it is required
by law. They have the power to regu-
late interest rates, within the narrow
limits marked out by economic law in
such a manner as to attract gold to the
country by restricting their circulation
when necessity arises. The system pro-
posed by your committee provides an
easy and adequate method of obtaining
gold for export from the banks without
exposing the country or the United
States treasury to the alarm and con-
vulsion, which have attended gold ex-
ports during the last five years."

PITrsBURe I'M DANeER.
Great Floods Rushing Toward That
City in All the Rivers.

Pittsburg, March 23.-The Allegheny
and MOnOngahela rivers will in all
probability reach a stage of 80 feet of
water tonight. Tremendous rains fell
last night, and the water is rushing
towards Pittsburg at a rapid rate At
II a. M, the Monongahela marks head
water at stage OF 70 feet and the river
is rising about three inches an hour.
The following districts already flooded
are Allegheny south of Robinson street
and South avenue, River avenue and
Upper Robinson street and the upper
districts traversed by the Pittsburg &
Western railroad; the lower bottoms Of
Woods Run; lower districts of Saw
Mill Run; lower districts of McKeeS
Rocks, and Esp1en borough and all the
low lands between the Davis island
dam and Beaver; Sharpsburg and Mill
vale districts and the lower districts Of
the upper end of Allegheny and Pitts
burg on the Allegheny river, including
the Allegheny Valley railroad tracks
in the vicinity of Kelley station.
The reports from the upper river sta
tions in reference to the rainfall, re-
cefved by the Pittsburg weather bureau
show that from One-half to nearly three
inches of ran fell at different headwa-
ter points during the night.
Great damage is reported and fears
are entertained that the flood will be as
great as in 1884.
About o'clock there was a sudden rise
in the Allegheny river and a clean sweep

TO RETIRE FOSTER.
Real Purpose of Cy LeIand's
Present Visit to Washington.

When Pension Agent Cy Leland went
to Washington and it was given out
that his mission was to see why a few
minor appointments were not made ac-
cording to his wishes a few people be
Heved the report but others did not.
A remarka BILE coincidence in connec-
ton with the visit is that Mr.. S. R.
Peters, who wants to be federal judge
in Kansas and United States District
Attorney I. E. Lambert also left for
Washington about the time Mr.. Leland
did. 1t is reasonably certain that all
these gentlemen were not interested in
the appointment of a postmaster at
Menoken or any other wayside station.
According to good authority these
three gentlemen are in Washington
for no other purpose than to revive
scheme to make S. R. Peters federal
judge for Kansas. For a time after the
new district scheme of Mr. Leland's
was overturned he and his Ieutenants
hoped to revive it but they have about
concluded that there is no hope in that
direction and that if Mr.. Peters wears
the ermine it must be as the successor
of United States District Judge Foster.
So Mr.. Leland and his cohorts have
posted down to Washington to see
whether there is not a hope of forcing
a bill through for the retirement of
Judge Foster. This is a matter that
has been talked of before but not for
year or more With Judge Foster on
the retired list it should be compara-
lively easy to have Mr.. Peters named
in his place.
There is one thing in the way of such
an adjustment and that is the aspira-
ton of Judge w. @. Hook of Leaven-
worth to have the same position sought
for by Mr. Peters. Judge Hook is the
law partner of United States Senator
Lucien Baker and he might consequent
ly be dangerous antagonist. But Cy
Leland will not overlook anything of
this kind and before he does any work
in the interest of the retirement of
Judge Foster he will see that things are
arranged so that Judge Hook will not
be in his way.
A politician who keeps a close watch
on the movements of Mr.. Leland, eS
peciaIly with reference to his effort to
place Mr.. Peters in the federal judiciary
said today:
IF anyone thinks that Cy Leland has
given up, he is badly mistaken. He
started out to make Sam Peters a fed
eral judge and he does not consider
that he has been entirely defeated
though things have been looking rath-
er gloomy
When Mr. Leland went to Washing
ton a few days ago District Attorney
Lambert and Mr. Peters were not long
in following him. While he tried to
cover up his tracks have excellent as
surance that the purpose of the visit
to Washington is to secure the retire
ment of Judge Foster.
THE ambition of Judge Hook is a
bugaboo but that will be fixed before
anything decisive is done. Mr.. Leland
Kinley himself that Peters will be ap-
pointed if he cannot fix it with Senator
Baker.
You may expect to hear something
interesting from Washington along this
line before long or 1 miss my guess"

Cubans Say Peter Will Not Wait for
Americans to Knock.

New York, March 23.-Louis KIopsch.
publisher of the Christian Herald, who
is directing the distribution of relief
supplies in Cuba, teIegraphs to the
World from Havana:
The American relief work in Cuba is
IN most excellent condition. Heretofore
the utter inadequacy of supplies from
American sources made operations on
large satisfactory scale impossible.
Today there is enough afloat for thirty
days requirements.
"On the arrival of the next cargo,
due Thursday, every known center of
destitution will Immediately be provis-
ioned for ten days, and 200, 900 men and
women will be sustained by America S
practical sympathy, pending an official
statement of actual needs thereafter.
Then the American relief will be as
far-reaching as it is possible to make
it. Letters and kilograms from consuls
and consular agents received by me
within three days, fully confirm the
generally accepted views as to the mag
nitude and intensity of the awful deSt-
tuition. Consul General McGarr of
Cienfuegos, heretofore incredulOus, now
reports Il, 900 destitute in his consular
district and believes it will be worse.
Tomorrow on Estrella street we
open a central station for the relief of
Il, 900 destitute in Havana; also a diet
kitchen for 1000 sick in San Lazarc
street. The bakeries in Havana and su-
burbs are turning into bread all the

TWO ROB A TRAIN.
Blow Up Express Car and Rife
Mail Pouch.

Traver, Cal, March 23.-North bound
passenger train No. 1S was held up at
Cross Creek bridge, four miles south of
Traver, last night about 1885, by two
train robbers. The men boarded the
train at Goshen, and soon after pulling
out, climbed into the engine and COM
PEELED the fireman to cease firing. When
gave out and the train stopped. The
express car was then blown up with
dynamite. 1t was completely demOl-
ished. The mail car was entered and
the mail pouch containing the through
San Francisco registered matter was
cut open and all contents taken. No
one was injured.
The robbers had a buggy in readiness
near the scene and they left in this go
ing north. They were heard going by
Harry Burke's saloon in Traver, at a
lively pace.
1t is not known how much was taken
by the robbers from the express car.
The train was a local from Los Angeles
and as a rule does not carry a great
deal of treasure.
VisaIia, Cal, March 23.-The robbery
occurred at 1885. The express car was
blown to atoms.
An officer named Meade was on the
train which was held up. He at once
gave the alarm and the sheriffs of Tu-
ganized posses who are now on the trail
of the robbers. It is reported that
some of the passengers were also reliev-
ed of their ValuahleS.

HOPING FOR COLD.
The Only Thing That Can Prevent a
Disastrous Flood.

Cincinnati, March 23.-The rain still
continues. The river at 10 a. m. reach

inches an hour. The real danger point
is so feet. 1t requires over SO to reach
the railway tracks. With the river ris-
ing rapidly from Pittsburg to Cfncln-
natl and the great Miami pouring in an
unusual flood below Cincinnati. and
with the rain still falling, it is difficult
to see how a disastrous flood can De
avoided.
River men and others hope for the
early appearance of cold weather to
check the flood.
