TERROR IN HAVANA.
Troops Starving and Mutin'
ous--Blanco Breathes
Fire and Death.

rBy Gable, Copyright, 1898, by The Associated
Press.
KEY WEST, Fla. June q, 1898. :58
A. M)-The most authentic and reliable.
news yet obtained of the true state of
affairs in Havana was today furnished to-
representative of The Associated Pre5s.
by a British subject who left Havana ca
board the British cruiser Talbot, and:
who arrived here yesterday. He says a.
reign of terror exists at the Cuban Cap
ital.
Captain General Blanco has issued "a
proclamation announcing that any one
daring to express an unfavorable opinion
of or suspected Of being dissatisfied WITH
the present policy of the Government
will be summarily shot without trial or
investigat tion. This proclamation, 1t APP
pears, caused dissatisfaction among the
members of the Orden .Publico, or Hay
ana police force, who threatened to re-
volt if full rations were not served out
to them. Serious trouble was expected,
as the Orden Publico is a numerous and
we'll armed body of men. The result is
that today the Orden Publico patrols the
city and it's members are themselves
policed, the Spanish infantry and artIl-
lery soldiers mounting guard over them
at every corner.
Famine, it seems, is imminent and the
stories of the arrival of supplies at Ha-
vana via Batabano are pronounced to be
untrue. The informant of the Associated
Press thinks Havana cannot possibly hold
out six weeks longer. The city is pro-
nounced to be panic-stricken, its inhabi-
tants expecting every moment to be bonl-
barded by the American fleet. as they
realize that Captain General Blanco's at
titude releases the United States from the
obligation Of giving the customary bonn
bardment notice.
Riots are daily expected at Havana. as
the troops are suffering from hunger and
the Volunteers are seeing their wives and
children dying of want. Under such com
ditions the Captain General cannot much
longer keep the military forces in check
and rebellion is likely to devastate Ha-
vana before the city is captured by the
Americans.
Captain General Blanco admits that the
situation is desperate. He recognizes, it
is pointed out, his inability to control his
troops, goaded by hunger, much longer
and he is reported to have said that he
will never leave Havana alive, as he is
prepared to take his own life when the
outbreak occurs.

LIKE ANTI-SLAVERY STRUGGLE.

Beginning with Massachusetts, the manufacturers, and a considerable DOT tion of the press, as if wholly oblivi- ous to what had occurred in England during the previous seventyfour years, opposed the introduction of factory legislation; yet, curiously enough, within a decade after the accomplish ment of this legislation each state in New England in it's turn became not only reconciled to it, but really be- lieved in and accepted it as wise pol icy. As we have said, the experience of England at first went for naught with the factory owners of New Eng land, and now the experience of New England seems to go for naught with the mill owners of the south. It is a matter of surprise that class so uni formly intelligent and in other re- spects so public spirited should for a whole century repeat the obvious and admitted mistakes of their predecessors on the same point, in the same way
 and for ostensibly the same reason
 The same was substantially true of the ant1-slavery struggle Southern capi- tal1sts resisted abolition to the extent Of civil war, and yet today the whole

lihood there appeared to be of getting a catcher, and the stock yards element was disconsolate.
 "At this juncture a tall, well built man. wearing a lah-de-dah OvercOat, a silk hat, then rare in the town, two watch chains, a button-hole bouquet and other accouterments that bespoke the effete east arose and went under the grand stand and spoke to the cap tain of the local team. The crowd be- gan to guy and hoot and the howls and jeers were intensified when few minutes later he appeared in an ill-fit- ting uniform and put on the mask and gloves. The gentlemen from the abat- toir district saw in their minds eye a total eclipse of the money wagered and almost precipitated riot.
 "The game, however, proceeded. The gentleman from the east stood up and took his medicine. Hutch put them over like cannon shot, but the receiv- ing end never f1inched. In those days the association and the national league were playing under different rules. In the association foul caught on the first bound was out. In the big league it had to be caught on the fly. The new catcher had been playing under the regulations as laid down by the minor organization and was greatly surprised after being heartily ap- plauded for a brilliant run and catch on the bound of foul fly to have the umpire call not out.
 "To make a long story short, the new man caught everything that came his way, hit safely every time he came to bat. ran bases like deer and coach ed the players in enjoyable style. The game was won by the local men, dut chiefly to the customer. Everybody
 wanted to know his name and it final
 ly became known that he was John
 son. the second baseman and chang;

 in the country. Johnson had received
 many offers to enter the ranks of thu professionals, but steadily refused. H' had the freedom of the city that Sun

To secure good pasture. one that will be permanent, the plants should be permitted to make as much growth as possible the first year, which will enable them to become firm ly established.
 Good COWS are more in demand now than for several years past, and the farmer who will keep his heifer calves that are well bred will get good prices for them in the future. A COW that is | known to give three or four quarts of milk more per day than the average will sell at an extra price, more than sufficient to pay the cost of raising her.
 A new article known as peanut but | ter is said to be on the market. It is made from the oil of the peanut and has the flavor of the nut. Like all other products of similar kind, the consumers must be educated to accept it.

Stranger Wins a Game for Nine ln
 Kansas City.

'It was not so many years ago, said the travelling man, when the inn pression was current that a man who was a dude and generally fastidlous in his habits could not play ball. This sentiment was somewhat strong in Kansas City back in the early sos. At that time the town was very much alive and the stranger within the gates could get anything he wanted from pitch and toss to manslaughter. All he had to do was to name his game.
 Sunday base ball was a feature and a delegation from the stock yards 1n- variably attended in order that the proper amenities should be made mani fest. The games were generally be- tween amateur teams and what was lacking in technicque was more than compensated by the ginger the play CTS put in their work. Willie Bill' Hutchinson was then resident of the city and under the name of Brown generally did the twirling for one of the teams. Decker, who caught for the Detroits m their heyday, did the receiving
 Hutch in those days had a world of speed and always had to let up when Decker came up to the plate. On this particular Sunday a big crowd was present, a nine from Sedalia op- posing the locals. The stock yards contingent was decidedly numerous and was backing Hutch against the world. It was nip and tuck for four innings when foul tip disabled Deck CT. Time was called and a hunt be- gan for some one who was willing to take the hot shot that Hutchinson was throwing over the plate.
