Tha Invasion Of Cuba.
How the Asheville Citizen Summa-
rizes the Situation.

AshevjlIe Citizen.
We all feel that there is great risk
in sending troops into Cuba at this,
the beginning of the rainy, and there
fore the especially unhealthy season
there. But this danger we knew
when We went into war, and we also
knew that there were thousands of
the common people of Cuba that
would die before help could reach
them after the fall OF Havana into
our hands, and the longer that help
was delayed the longer would be this
death list. We cannot be held re-
sponsible for deaths that occur while
we are taking a reasonable time for
the preparation for the army Of in
vasion, bat it would seem hardly
reasonable to delay that movement
until next fall. Moreover from the
best Information to be obtained, the
dangers OF the rainy season to unsea-
soned men can be largely removed
by such precautions as our soldiers
will be advised, perhaps compelled to
take. It is the testimony of Ameri-
cans who have worked in Cuba with
numbers of their countrymen that
sickness is not more prevalent among
them than among men engaged in
similar occupations in many States in
the Union, and that recourse to the
easily reached high lands will greatly
aid in the recovery of fever patients.
It is certain, too, that in no other
campaign the world has seen up to
this time has there been at tie dis
posal of the soldier so much of the
resources of medicine and surgery
as will be at the service of the Cuban
army of invasion. All that money
can buy or science can suggest will
be theirs to command. As to the
risks that come in actual combat,
those would be present in any climate,
but unless the Spanish soldier is an
improvement as a marksman over
his brother sailor the former is not
greatly to be dreaded in Cuba or
elsewhere.
If the advance movement now
started is pushed and no more Span
ish warships come over to change the
plan of campaign that includes the
support of the army by the navy,
Havana should be in our hands within
two months at the furtherest, while
the relief of the Cubans in many
other parts of the island can begin
within weeks time.

such an alliance the rest of the world

People Dying from Eating Fish
Caught Therein.
Hinton, ". Va, June 9.-Great ex-
citement prevails on Blue Stone river,
in this county, on account Of the
mysterious poisoning of the fish in
that stream. As a result three men
Louis Peray, Colon Lilly and
man whose name could not be learned
are dead, and Mr.. +. E. Angel,
prominent merchant is lying at his
home dangerously i'll from eating
some fish caught from the river yes
terday morning. A late report says
that number of persons and cattle
have died today from the effects of
drinking the water. Today the fish
have been dying in large numbers,
and are being washed ashore. It is
not thought that there is one left in
the stream. The stencil from those
washed ashore is almost untearable.
The people are generally excited,
and will not use the water from the
wells that are near the river. Where
the poison came from or what it con-
sists of is a 2yst ry. All that is
known is that it has deadly effect.
One theory is that the poison is due
to some mineral substance in the
water, ard it is said a peculiar sed-
iment has been found on the rocks.

The President Orders a Detailed Re-
port of Their Gallant Deed.
Washington, June 8.-The Presi-
dent has directed Admiral Sampson
to forward detailed report of the
gallant action of Lieut.. Richmond
Pearson Hobson at Santiago, and as
soon as that is received will send a
special message to Congress recog-
nizing the heroism displayed not
only by Hobson, but by the men who
accompanied him on the Merrimac.
The order for a full report is already
on the way, the President feeling it
best to wait official advices before
taking The action he now contem-
plates. What will be recommended
for Hobson and his crew is not GER
tain now, but there will probably be
a recommendation for a vote of
thanks, specially naming Hobson,
though not naming the men. Medals
of honor, it is expected by those who
have talked with the President on
the subject, will be struck off for the
little band of men, and promotion OF
some sort is in store for all Of them.
It will take some days for Admiral
Sampson to get his report here, but
probably some time next week a
message signalizing the Merrimac
incident will be sent to Congress.
