HAVANA SITUATION
Spanish Government Refuses to
Longer Feed the Starving
Need Of Assistance.
BLANCO'S DEEP RESENTMENT
War Declared Against Spain Without Mo.
tive orPretext- Hopes Arrogant Amer
lea Will Receive Just Deserts
Praise for q. s. Army.

Havana, Sept. l5.-Thc rumors thai
strained relations exist between the
Spanish commission and the United
States Cuban evacuation commission are
absolutely unfounded. The delay in
meeting is due to the failure of instruc.
tOns to arrive from Spain as expected
The Spanish steamer Alfonso MI which
left Puerto Rico for this port yesterday,
Is expected to bring Instructions from
the Spanish government
Two free soup kitchens were closed
yesterday and the closing Of others will
follow. These kitchens have been dis
tributing to the really needy over 10000
rations daily. Their discontinuance is
based, according to civil government
circular, on the assumption that dis
tress and want have disappeared from
the city, and will have the effect of
throwing thousands of unfortunate peo-
pie on public charity. Beggars are
again lnfesting the streets, carrying
filth and disease germs all over Havana.
Immediate arrangements for the dis
tribution of United States rations, now
that the Spanish government refuses to
continue to feed the hungry, is i'm
perative.
The ''meat ring continues keeping
the price of meat at so to so cents per
pound. in spite of the protests and offers
of responsible firms to import cattle and
place meat on the market at 25 cents
per pound.
General Blanco's Bitterness of Feeling.
New York. Sept. l5.--A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says, Captain
General Blanco said: Il confess to
feeling deep resentment against the
United States, whose conduct toward
Spain in declaring war against us, with
out motive or pretext, just at a time
when they were receiving from us the
highest marks of our friendship and re-
Spect, can never be condemned too Sc
verely. My government has signed
peace protocol and her decision must be
complied with. Nevertheless, / have
eternal confidence in divine justice and
therefore hope this arrogant nation will
receive its just deserts, and God knows
that the day when this act of national
despoilation is accomplished and the
stars and stripes float from the walls OF
Havana, that day may perhaps mark
the beginning of the decay of the Ameri-
can nation. l wish to put myself on
record as having no dislike for the army
OF the States. On the contrary. have
the highest appreciation of their noble
and courageous behavior.

the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long has issued orders dis

SOUTH AMERICAN WAR DANCE.
Chill and Argentine Preparing to Lay

A" S~A-AA6 AAs
New York, Sept. 15.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso says: The
boundary dispute between Chilli and Ar
gentina seems likely to develop into a
great South American confiagration. 1t
Il believed, as foundation, that Bolivia
has signed secret treaty with Argen-
tina to maize common cause against
Chilli. In case of war, however, Peru
would checkmate Bolivia, leaving Ar
gentina to the care of Chilli.
This attitude on the part of Peru is
said to be due to the fact that Chilli
wiped of $4,000, 900 from the ransom
for the provinces returned by the pro-
tocol. Chilli Is now completing naval
and military preparations for a hostile
climax to the negotiations with Ar
gentine.

Gen. Lees Return.

Appointed by Mr.. Cleveland, and retained
in office by Mr.. Mckinley, Consul-General
Lee comes home the nations hero. His trip
from Tampa to Washington was one long
ovation, and in Washington he was ac-
corded a popular reception such as has
try's history. The people everywhere recog-
nize in this typical American citizen the
best elements of American character. Says
the New York Mail and Express, an out
spoken republican paper: General Lee
returns to American soil with the
whole country profoundly indebted to him
for the vigilance, bravery, courtesy,
tact and unflinching patriotism with which
he has invariably performed his delicate
and dangerous duties in Havana. He has
been equal to every emergency. He has
compelled the respect. thwarted the treach-
cry, outgeneraled the trickery and defied
the threats of the most desperate lot of
military rogues and tyrants that an Ameri-
can diplomat ever had to deal with, and he
comes back to his native land WITH rec
ord of personal courage and official useful
ness which entities him to the unstinted
admiration and gratitude of the American
people,"
Whatever the future may have in store
for General Lee, the coutry has in him one
of its highest ideals-a man of good sense,
good judgment and daunt1ess courage. II
may be that he VIII be called upon to lead
American soldiers into the city that he left
amid jeering and desperate crowd; it may
be that many honors await him, but certain
1t Is that he holds beyond all other men at
the present time the gratitude and affection
of the American people. Higher honor than
that no man can achieve.
And everybody rejoices over the fact that
the heroic virginian is no longer subject to
the caprice and the hates of a crafty foe.
He is safe again on American soil. The
country is thankful for that.

from this country, and 1t is difficult to see
how surrender of the whole concern can
be avoided. provided a blockade is estab-
lished and maintained.
The troops are wen supplied with ammu-
milton, and some of the regiments are
made up of excellent fighting material.
Some are, however, mere boys without mil
itary training. The army is reinforced by
volunteer companies in the city, and by
guerilla bands-chieay convicts-in the
country. As rule all wear linenesuits,
and none of them have shoes that would
stand long marching campaign. But
they would fight well enough, il they were
well fed and well treated. 1t is said they
have never had full rations In case of
a blockade the condition of affairs can
readily be imagined.
These troops are concentrated In Havana.
Matanzas and other coast cities, only three
interior points being held two months ago,
and perhaps no interior point Is now oc-
cupied. The Weyler edict of concentra-
ton would render the case still more diff
cult, because the reconcentrados are nom
producers. The reconcentrados, the city
population and the soldiers would all need
rations--a million people, more or less. The
insurgents, 80, 900 strong, keep an equal num-
Der at work in the interior raising supplies.
They do not depend upon supplies from
this or any other country. But the rest of
the people do, including the Spanish army.
A blockade In short, means surrender; and
no one will question the ability of this
country to close the seven or eight ports of
Cuba. The closing of Havana and Matan-
zas would practically shut up the Spanish
portion of the island.

Reconquest of the Soudan.

The defeat of the Mahdists at Atbara last
week, in the Soudan, probably renders the
advance upon Khartum feasible and COM
paratively easy. One cataract intervenes,
but it is not difficult one. The English
commander, Sir Herbert Kitchener. has
done what Lord Woolsey could not do, nor
any one else, after the Inauguration of the
Mahdist revolution. He keeps a railroad or
steamers in operation as he advances, so
that when he reaches Khartum, as he I'M
doubtedly will, there will be an unbroken
line of communication to the mouth of the
Nile.
The Kalifa is reported to be at Omdur-
man, and when he is dislogded Egypt, or
rather England, will regain control of East
soudan and Nubia. which was lost in 1852

The Mosquito Pest.

Missouri PROPOSES to rid herself of the
MOSQUITO. She proposes to appoint mos
quito commissioner. He will not have a
fleet, but he will proceed to slay the en-
bryo pests with pinch of permanganate
of potash. Two pinches will do them up.
ash will free an acre of swamp from the
pests for a month, and 4 cents worth will
do the work for the entire season, as the
breeding season is limited to two months.
In point of economy permanagate of
potash beats mosquito netting and like
contrivances out of sight A few grains of
the drug prevents the eggs from Matching
or kills the young varmints And in fact,
from the pest. for the flight of the mos
quitos is very limited. rarely exceeding
thousand feet. Mosquitoes are bred in still
water. in swamps. in cisterns. in stagnant
or, better still, pinch of permanganate in
each lot of water will cut short their viii
famous careers.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat esti-
mates that 5000 of permanganate would
free New Orleans from the pest altogether
would destoroy the pests in the 5000
acres of swamps and ponds back of the
city, and prevent their production in the
cisterns of the city. If the figures of the
Times-Democrat will suffice in New Or
leans, a very small sum would clear Jones'
valley of the pests Their fight is certainly
very short. They could not cross the hills
that enclose the valley in which this city
is located, and II the valley itself can be rid
of the pests. the problem is solved. But
there can not be freedom from the pests
in this valley until greater care is taken
to get rid of stagnant water. Stagnant
water is the source of many evils A stag
nant water commissioner is needed more
than a mosquito commissioner. There
should not be square foot of stagnant
water in this valley.
