MISS BARTON LEAVES HAVANA.
Unexpected Departure of the Red
Cross President for New York

Cross President for New York,
HAVANA, March 22-Mss Clara Barton.
president of the American branch of the
Red Cross Society, left for New York to-
day on the Key West mail steamer. 1t was
not known until this morning that she in
tended to do so. Miss Barton saws the
cause of her departure is purely personal
and has to do with private financial mat
ters. Miss Barton expects to go to Wash
ington, and expressed the hope that she
would soon be able to return to Cuba. DR..
Lesser and Mrs. Lesser will defer their de-
parture until Saturday, but DR.. Egan left
by the mail steamer.
Bishop Manuel Santander Trutos, the
bishop of Havana, has consecrated the Cen
tral Relief Station and also the Lee Or
phange. He paid high tributes to Louis
klopsch, the special commissioner, for his
system of relief work. and seemed greatly
pleased with all the arrangements made 10

Central & Peninsula & Southern, and will
reach Washington at S:25 p. M Thursday
night The railroad wires have carried the
message down the line to use all dispatch.
This practically makes a special OF the
Mark train, and. without accident, Wash
irgton will be reached on the dot. Lieuten-
ant Commander Mark was accompanied by
the following officers of the Maine: Lieu
tenant Hood, Lieutenant Jungen, Assistant
Engineer +. c. Powers, Naval Cadet A.
Bronson and Carpenter George Helms.
Upon arrival here the party went at once
to the Pullman car that was awaiting them,
and in fifteen minutes were hurrying to
Washington as rapidly as steam could take
them.
During the short time of the stay in this
city an Associated Press reporter showed
Lieutenant Mark dispatch from Miami
that appeared in the afternoon papers, in
which he was quoted as saying: 1T looks
like war it certainly does" He exclaimed
1T is utterly false. l have said nothing of
the kind. don't talk about this matter"
All efforts to get him to make any ex-
preston of opinion were futile. Other men,
bers of the party were equally noncom-
initial. During the transfer from one train
to the other Lieutenant Mark was closely
walked between two of his friends, carrying
a dispatch box covered with black cloth
Behind him the officers of his party walked
closely. They walked rapidly, and did not
stop to speak to any one until they were
safely in the car When they had once
found their quarters they became more
communicative and chatted pleasantly con-
cerning current topics. One officer of the
police remarked to one member of the party
that Florida was ready to send $1,000 men to
Cuba when they should be wanted. "All
right maybe they will be wanted down
there before long," was the reply. Beyond
this expression not word was uttered that
could be construed as an expression of opin-
ion that war was possible or imminent.
Lieutenant Mark was asked if the two
officers of the Maine who passed through
Jacksonville Sunday night carried part of
the Maine report, to which he replied that
he could not say, but he admitted that two
officers were sent from Key West to Wash
ington One of the officers had intended to
go to Alabama on leave of absence, and had
purchased a ticket upon leaving Key West
to take him there, but upon reaching Jack
sonville tonight he was handed a telegram
directing him to report to the Navy De-
partment at Washington.
Colonel f. r. Osborne, agent of the South
ern Express Company in this city, received
a telegram in the afternoon requesting him
to meet Lieutenant Mark at the train. 1t
was learned that Colonel Osborne had been
requested to furnish an iron safe in which
to place the report while on the train.

towns, which can be reached by the dis
tributing methods now being employed. We

order to relieve this distress effectively the
equivalent of 800 tons of cornmeal and
fifty tons of bacon and lard each week.
Twice that quantity would be much more
satisfactory. In order to guarantee this,
Mr.. Schie1en and myself estimate that we
need at least $4,000 a week. Our receipts
at the present time are about 5000. about

WILL LEAVE HAVANA.
Naval Officers to Be Called Home, and
Wreck Probably Abandoned.

WASHINGTON. March 23-The Navy
Department has arranged for the practical
withdrawal of all it's naval officers at Ha-
va1a and the abandonment of the wreck of
the ill-fated battle ship Maine. Capt. G. d.
Sigsbee, Lieut.. Commander Richard Vain
wright, Surgeon l.. G. Heneberger, Pay
master Ray, Chaplain John p. Chidwick
chef Engineer G. p. Powell and Cadets
Holden and w. T. Cluverius, who have been
in Havana with the wreck, will return very
soon. Secretary Long said, this morning, in
answer to inquiry on the subject that he
saw no reason for the officers to remain al
Havara much longer and the probability
was that they would be ordered home in a
day or two. Captain Sgsbee, he said, would
come to Washington as soon as convenient,
but as yet nothing has been settled in re-
gard TO his future duty. 1t might be neces-
sary for Lieutenant Commander VAIN
wright who is in special charge of the
wrecked vessel. to remain there a 3hort
time longer, or at least until it is finally
settled that the wreck cannot be raised and
that there is no prospect of the recovery OF
any other portions Of the ship or it's equip
meats. 1t might be necessary also for one Of
the naval cadets to remain. but this is not
regarded as probable The return of Surgeon
Heneberger and Chaplain Chidwick will de-
pend on the question of whether they are
able to render any further service. Although
it is not finally settled it is more than prob
able that the Fern will return to the United
States as soon as it is determined that
nothing more is to be gained by her pres
ence there In the event of the abandon
ment of the wreck it is more than likely
that the Navy Department will arrange for
its complete destruction by the use of dyna-
mite or torpedoes. In it's present condition
it is dangerous obstruction to navigation,
and it is not believed that any opposition
will be offered to it's removal.

HAVANA, March 23.-Gunner Morgan left
for the fleet at Key West to-day. With him
went the naval divers Fisher, Rundquest
ard Schluter and Hanz, the helper. Hanz
belongs to the Fern, and has been i'll. This
leaves two navy divers and five civilians on
tho contract work.
The body of a white man was found in
the forward part of the wreck to-day. 1t
will probably be identified by marks the
clothing when the latter have been disin-
fected. The body was sent to Key West on
the Olivette. No orders have yet been re-
ceived by the Maine officers here to go
North.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON March 23.--It has been
pointed out heretofore that relief in the
wav of food and clothing for the suffering
reconcentrados in Cuba is form of inter-
ference amounting to modified form of
Intervention, in the affairs of the island.
Meager as is the relief thus afforded, when
compared with the needs of the unfortu
mates for whose benefit it is rendered, it is
a tax on the pride of Spain. 1t is the in
tention of the President to go still further
in the way of relief, and to provide seeds
for the planting of crops To make this
form of relief effective it is necessary that
the Spanish authorities on the island shall
cooperate with this government in encour-
aging the reconcentrados to return to their
farms and to the cultivation of the soil.
There is great doubt whether Spain will
consent to relief taking this form. To do
so would be to reverse the policy initiated
by Weyler and continued by Blanco of con-
centrating the noncombatants in the cities
and towns of the island In all probability
that is the rock on which the two govern
ments will finally split. Spain is very apt
to regard this sort of interference as equiv
alent to consent for American occupation of
the island and American control Of the civil
government. II is likely that she will re-

against us. is harmony, solidity, march
ing in line This we outline as a gen.
eral policy.
Next, and for an equally important
policy.
Eighteen out of 80 days of the
sessions time have passed, and not a
word has been said about some of the
excellent provisions of the platform of
the American Union Party.
Article of the platform says: 1--WE
advocate continuation of the Govern
ment policy in promotion of the public
lands by small holders and the encour-
agement of various industries"
Article 10 says: ct is the first and
highest duty of the American Union
Party administration to hasten to a
realization the recently inaugurated eff
forts toward the population of these
Islands by assisting the immigration Of
farmers, laborers and artisans from the
United States of America"
What is the Legislature doing about
the firm establishment of various in
dustries' here, which will support
these desirable laborers? The SUI
premacy of the whites on these Islands
can only be maintained by a large
number of small white laborers, en-
gagged in various industries. In this is
our political salvation. We all know
it. 1t is the only barrier against the
Invaders" Even the first step, the
creation of the Experimental Station is
not taken, or even suggested. The es-
tablishment of these various industries
requires hard, persistent work, subject
to many discouragements. Are the
members afraid to face the matter? In
the mean time, we have reinforced our
civilization" with more invaders. !"
The last Legislature ignored the whole
business. The present Legislature, so
far. follows the last very closely.
The American Union Party is right
in declaring that this subject involves
'the first and highest duty" but its
chosen representatives as well as the
rest of the members, so far, ignore it.
We are pleading for the many people
in moderate circumstances here, who
cannot "skip out" if the invaders be-
come dominant, by mere force of num-
bers. We plead for their homes and
their prosperity
If we have now no political party
that is willing to undertake this serious

THE COFFEE INDUSTRY.

The question of the future of the cot
fee industry here, as presented by Min
lister Damon to the Senate is a. most
serious one. We were informed months
ago of the danger arising out of de-
Ginning values. We published some
weeks ago the statement made by the
French bankers that they would make
no further loans to the Guatemala
coffee planters, on the ground that
there was an overproduction of coffee.
We shall discuss the matter more at
length.

ASKED TO SUGGEST A POLICY

At last we can get down to business.
The Star as the organ of what may be
Justly called the dominant party. and
with whose policy of annexation we
heartily agree as the only method Of
securing permanent peace and pros
perity to these Islands, tells us cit
would be much better to outline a poll
cy Of what should be done and stick to
it." rather than abuse everybody, etc.
We have been modestly waiting for
this kind invitation Our sincere thanks
are due to the author of this cordial
suggestion to outline policy"
Here it is. First. Stand by the Gov
eminent you have put in Office. There
are hardly 1000 of us liable bodied"
men who are trying to hold the fort of
white civilization here against 80 900
or more, who oppose us. We need to
make our frontage solid as granite. We
have put men in Office, whose political
sagacity may not be equal to the occa-
sion, but we have put them there, and
must stand by them, or cripple them.
To the locker on, the proceedings Of
the Legislature seems to be, in spite Of
some excellent members, the pranks Of
irresponsible small boys, who take de-
light in quietly sticking pins into the
Ministerial seats, and then shout with
joy, when the Ministers sit down on
them and jump. The suspicious, the
insinuations, the criticisms on the adj
mirable administration of the Govern
ment seem to indicate that the Legis-
1ature regards it as foolish, indiscreet,
and not above suspicion. What we need

ETING."

The Star charges us with making
petty filings at "a body of men who are
really in earnest, who have the good of
the whole community at heart, etc."
and also charges us with "belittling ev-
erything that all men do"
Let us look into these petty filings"
and "belittling business" Here is the
case of Senator McCandless, a ruling
man in his party, and one of the Gin
structors'' of the Star, it is said, and an
earnest patriot besides, like the devout
worshipper in holy Willies prayer"
"a burning an shining light
To a. this place."
In the debate on the item of the gen.
eral appropriation of $4,000 for the
expenses of the Board of Health, Sena-
tor McCandless savagely attacked the
Government. He said that he believed
that there was a tendency to in
crease if possible, the expenses of
the Board of Health; that as long as
ton. the members of the Board spent
it: that during the last period there
had been a series of ''junketing trips"
which should be stopped; that it SEEM
ed as if everybody who came down and
wished to go to the Leper Settlement
was taken at the expense of the Gov
toI or II
The Attorney General briefly replied
and the Senate instead of sitting down
on the Board of Health, sat down with
a thud on the Senator.
Here is a Senator who makes an open
charge against the Board of Health and
the Government, which if true, is am
pie justification for the dismissal of the
Board from Office, and the impeach-
ment of the Attorney General. 1t is a
charge of fraud, incompetence, of a
criminal waste of public money The
Board of Health has no more right to
expend public money in 'junketing
trips" than it has to divide up the pub
lie money among the members. If the
charge is true, the s'reef" is the only
place for the Board and the Attorney
General.
Moreover the charge is not with
drawn It stands today.
Here is a Senator who, as his own
organ says, "has the good of the whole
community at heart" His remarks on
"junketing trips" instead of being a
sspetty fling" and a "'belitthng" of ev-
erybody must be regarded by his organ
as a rare specimen of eloquence which
with fearless grandeur, and patriotic
fervor, denounces the iniquity of the
public officials who are recreant to
themselves, their country and their
God,
The Senator sunk his artesian well
down to the strata of general abuse,
and flooded the Senate chamber with a
big flow of most unjustifable insinua,
tons.
If the remarks of the Senator are
true, he has indeed given to the enem-
les of the Republic, which he so vel
aided in creating, quite sufficient ma,
terial for counter charge that the
officials of the Republic are just as in
competent and corrupt as they were il
the worst days of the Monarchy.
We frankly state that just so lons
as public men, choose to ''belittle'' thu
Government of the Republic, which
they have created, we shall take hanC
in the business.
