chairman of the Red Cross executive COM
mittee, has received letter dated Sept. 16
from H. F. Barnes the Red Cross repre-
sentative in Ponce, Porto Rico. In part he
says:
Two days ago I went through the wards
of the great army hospital at Ponce To
see the hundreds of wan soldiers eagerly
taking the nutritious soups and delicacies
furnished by the Red Cross. to hear the boys
say l spoke few CHEEKY words to them,
God bless the Red Cross; we would die
without it,, would have brought tears to the
eyes of these generous benefactors whose
bounty has been SO prompt and unstinted
toward the defenders of the flag. And when
the unexpected cabegra1n came tonight,
Supply ice and milk when needed. on the
very day. that / had been making inquiries
at the ice plant and wondering if the So
ciety could stand the strain of paying $40
ton, had to join the boys at the hospital
in saying, God bless the Red Cross Many

only by these timely restoratives can the
Porto Rican army ever be restored to Amer

l.. j. Cobb, counsel for the Red Cross has
arrived home from Cuba on the City of
Washington He has been on extended
trip through the interior of Cuba, principally
through the provinces of Matanzas and San
tiago He said there was a great amount
of suffering among the Cubans. "They lack
medicine and food" he said. There is a
lot Of Red Cross medicine and food waiting
for them Oh various vessels off Havana but
the enormous duties charged by the Spanish
customs officers prevent landing ii. / have
brought back with me on this steamer a
wagon load of medicine which was sent
down on the English steamer Kennett The
Spaniards wanted me TO pay $1,000 duty on
the medicines. and ] would not do it, so [
brought them Rack with me- The Spanards
are taking their time about leaving Cuba,
and all the while they are making money
from duties"

Won Hollenstein. of the German Red Cross
Society. who arrested several months
ago by General Blanco. Won HoIenstein ac-
cdentdlly dropped on the floor of the corri-
dor of the Hotel Inglaterra at Havana a
cipher permitting him 10 go through the in
surgent lines. This pass found by a
Spanish officer ard translated IT resulted
in Won Hollenstein being thrown into Ca
banas prison. from which he was released
a few weeks ago. He has suffered severely
from his prison experience and had TO be
carried off the steamer when 1t arrived here.

Not an Alarming Prospect.
New York Independent

We hold up no hands of horror with those
who ask with trembling voice and bristling
hair, What guaranty have we that the
new Territories will not become States?'
When they deserve to be States we do not
see why they should not be States. We
took benighted California end by and by
made State of it, and we did well. If the
Hawaiian islands get to have half a million
population and acquit themselves well under
a territorial government there is no reason
why they should not be State. If Porto
Rico serves as satisfactory an apprentice
ship as territory no man can give valid
reason why ii should not have the full rank
of State. We need not worry ourselves as
nonsense of arrogance that thinks nothing
possible except TO "Anglo-Saxons," what
ever they may be-

miral Dewey:
The country highly, and in a sense hand
somely. as 1t appreciates Admiral Dewey,
does not apprehend the full extent of it's in
debtedness to him-has not heard the whole
story of the slender threads his will made
strong as iron chains-does not know fully
of the ceaseless vigilance with which for
months he has done his duty the incessant
care with which he personally has watched
every night and all night that no harm
might come to his beloved ships. until he is
no longer able to get more than short maps
of sleep, save in daylight, when he turns in
for slumber after dinner and thus he gets
his rest of restoration from day to day.
The country is not unmindful of what it
owes to the man who has brought so much
honor TO it's flag in the eyes of the world.
and will find a way to suitably reward him.
During the war people talked of the strain
on Admirals Sampson and Schley at San
tiago. They did their duty noby. too, but
Admiral Dewey's strain began long before
theirs and has continued much longer. He
has made a great record.

London, N ov 1.-There was an un- expected and gloomy feeling yesterday morning on the stock exchange and the Paris bourse, both these markets are being influenced, it is inferred, from the aggressive tone of French papers.

The British emer- geney squadron is gathering at Daven- port with all possible speed. Seven bat tleships and one cruiser have been thus far been designated to join the squadron.

CABINET MEETING

Washington, Nov 1.-An informal session of the cabinet was held Sunday at the White House. The president en- braoed the opportunity afforded by the presence of several members of the cab met to discuss with them their forth coming annual reports.
 The members of the cabinet present were Secretaries Alger, Long, Bliss and Postmaster General Smith, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen, Adjutant General Corbin, and Surgeon General Sternburg.
 The peace negotiations of Paris were referred to, but were not seriously con sidered. This statement is borne out by the fact that Secretary of State Hay was not party to the conference. It is said authoritatively that no new develop ments in the Paris publication have arisen during the past 36 hours. The president believes that the negotiations will be brought to satisfactory conclu- sion sooner, perhaps, than is generally expected.
