CUBANS FORGED
 TO EAT WORMS pr. Chado Tells of Their Intense
 Suffering. VICTORY FOR INSURGENTS He Will Not Return to Cuba Until She Is Free Spaniards Are Becoming More Hos
 tile for Americans Every
 Day.
VICTORY FOR INSURGENTS

New York, March Abr. Frank Chado who for the past two years has served with the rank of colonel in the Cuban army under Gen. Cahxto Garcia, and who was present when young Gomez committed sui- eide on seeing his leader, General Maceo fall, Is in this city.
 Colonel Chado came by the steamship Conchas, taking passage at Havana.
 He eluded the vigilance of the Spanish authorities and traveled under an assumed name. When Colonel Chado left New York two years ago he weighed A0 pounds; today he weighs 115 pounds.
 q have heari1 something of the stories published in tfis country of the distress in Cuba and of the thousands that have died and are dying of starvation. Nothing that has been published nothing that could be published could tell the story as ib Is really.
 q know of my own knowledge that in many sections of Cuba they are digging up the earth for the worms they may find. It Is not every one who Is able to dig Most of the people are so weak that they are unable to move They are dying by the thousands-not the men who are doing the fighting, but the poor women, the children and the reconcentrados. Ruin is every where visible.
 Must stand Appalled,
 Spain has been guilty of acts that must make civilization stand appalled, and the fact Is that they are infinitely worse or today than at any time since the war De- gan. Victory is certain for the Cubans in the near future"
 Of the present feeling among Spaniards at Havana, Col. Chado said that it was be- coming more hostile for Americans every day.
 "There is feeling among them," he sad, "that the United States Is afraid to fight and that they can do anything they please. I am as firmly convinced as man can be that the Maine horror was not due to any submarine mine. This belief Is shared by all Cubans-that the Maine was blown up by a torpedo. Further, I believe that the torpedo came from the Spanish warship Alfonso Doce
 To Safe Distance
 "As to our reasons for thinking so: First, there is the fact that the night be- fore the Maine explosion the Alfonso, which had been anchored near, was moved to safe distance away.
 "Second the fact that not once since the day of the explosion has any seaman or marine from the Alfonso been allowed to 20 ashore. The only inference is that the officials are afraid the sailors might be- come intoxicated and talk too much
 Col Chado has come to New fork Tor medical and surgical treatment, his right arm, side and leg being paralyzed from privation, exposure and wound. lie IS a native Cuban and one of the most active of the insurgents His wife and three grown children still remain in Havana He has served as surgeon-general under Gen .Calixto Garcia for the past three years.
 q shall not return to Cuba until she is free" he said.

pense there was no desire to take up im- portant legislation. The outlook as to Cuba was discussed among senators almost to the exclusion of other topics, and the belief was quite decided that the administration is preparing to take positive position with in the next week. Several senators made the prediction that the United States would intervene. Being pressed for a reason, they stated that they had reached this conclu- sion after more or less conference witRex- ecutive officers, but at the same time say tract and the prices at which they proposed itive information on this point. Other sen- ators thought the recognition of Cuban in dependence more probable than interven- tion. Almost all expressed the view that some action surely will follow the report of the Maine court of inquiry, regardless of its purport.
 War Preparations
 Capt. William P Duvall, of the Fifth ar- tillery, has reported at the war depart ment under orders for temporary duty in the office of the secretary of war and the major general commanding the army. Maj. Duvall is instructor on military exercises at the artillery school, Fort Monroe, and is regarded an expert in all matters pertaining to the artillery branch of the service He has been promoted to his present grade as a result of the recent in- crease of artillery regiments. Although not officially admitted at the department, it is generally understood that he was sum- moned to Washington to confer with the military authorities on questions involving the employment of the artillery in active work along the Atlantic and gulf coasts.
 The orders of Gen. Wm. M. Graham, as- suming command of the new military de- partment of the gulf, have been received at the army headquarters here. It is said here that no immediate movement of troops as a result of the change of the lines of the military divisions recently put into effect is contemplated, but that the movements for the present will be confined to the transfer of artillery troops to man the Notifications recently completed.

NARROW ESCAPE.

The reporter don't often get gay
aud frisky, but on Friday evening
when be saw six bloods riding in a
fne red painted cutter, he thought
how nice it would be to throw a
snow ball at those fellows as they
drove by, and with this thought,
rolled ball aud took position to
throw.
These bloods it seems we're not
slow to discern his intention to do
them bodily harm, for they too,
had prepared for all such attacks
they had invested 10 a bunch of
6recrackers, and while the repor-
ter was making motions to hurl a
ball, some one in the sleigh let fly
one of those thirteen inch cannon
crackers and 1t fell under our coat
tail and exploded before we had
time to play Spanish" on it. We
we're not injured by the explosion,
but must confess that our nervous
system was shocked from center to
circumference, to say nothing of
our coat tail.
We place our damages at good
round sum, but before we file oul
suit, we wish to say to these floods
that we are open for any kind Of
old compromise they may offer.

Once let an "open door" or free
trade policy begin, and this country
will finally wipe out protectionism.
Every tub should stand upon its

can this be accomplished. Then

Our good brother Meador of the
Okolona Messenger, says that cot
ton is the only money crop for our
farmers. OF course it is this way,
as matter now stands-but let the
farmer ra Sc any crop in sufficient
quantity and buyers will show up
with money to buy 1t. Trouble is
there is no concentration Of effort
away from cotton. Our fertile sol
will produce dozen different tood
products, that will pay better than
cotton. In the bleak aud colo
northern states, corn and hay anc
wheat are absolutely the only crops
seasons will permit to grow to ma
turity. With us it is far different.
AS long as the southern farmers
stick to cotton, so long will he re-
main poor and dependent. Let him
drop cotton and he can become in-
dependent.
