Washington. May 17.--Advices re-
ceived by the war department indicate
that the press reports which come from
Havana of trouble or account of the
distribution Of the 900 fund to
the Cuban troops are exaggerated
greatly. General Brooke is expected to
begin the distribution of the money in
strict accordance with the plan orig
inally proposed. 1t is hoped he Will
have the assistance of General Gomez,
but in any case the distribution is to
be attempted.
The dispatches to the war depart
ment indicate that the trouble is not
so much with the troops themselves az
with some of the leaders, who dislike
to see their authority broken and who
realize that dsbandment of the insur-
gents is to be a fatal blow to their
prestige. 1T may be that the leaders
may advise the insurgents not to ac-
cept the American bounty as a condi-
tion OF laying down their arms, but
the department is confident that when
it comes to a plain question OF taking
or rejecting American gold the troops
will not hesitate very long. They are
in distress and they have nothing to
gain by continuing their organization.
The sum of S75 is q small fortune to
them, and it will take more than the
advice of leaders, actuated by selfish
motives, to induce them to reject 1t.
The Talk of Trouble.
The war department has been in
formed that the reports of trouble are
based on the talk of irresponsible per-
sons in Havana who lounge about the
cafes and endeavor to spread sedition.
This talk does not represent the real
Cuban sentiment any more than the
barroom gossip in an American city
would indicate the real sentiment of
the people of the United States. Out
side of Havana the feeling among the
Cuban troops is said to be friendly to
the United States and the disposition
among them is to accept the conditions
imposed by General Brooke. Very lit
tie is heard from those men, but in
the end they will be the determining
factor.
AS for the so-called Cuban generals,
the department does not pay as much
attention to their complaints as it did
formerly. 1t is known that they are
chronic "kickers" and that they are
never happy except when they are
making or talking of trouble. Their
real influence is much smaller than 1t
was supposed to be. The masses of the
people are desirous of the restoration
of peaceful conditions and of an OPP
portunity to resume peaceful pursuits.
Whatever may be the feeling be.
tween the American troops and the
Cuban troops in the city of Havana
the administration has confidence that
self-interest will dictate an acceptance
by the Cuban people as whole of the
new relations which the United states
is endeaVoring to establish. There
may be mutterings of discomfort in
some of the principal centres of popu-
lation, notably in Havana, where the
Cuban generals now congregate. They
were to be expected. But the admins
traton has learned much about the
Cuban temperament in the last few
months, and it will go ahead with its
original plans.

The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1899-06-17

An amusing incident happened in
one of the prominent uptown hotels in
New York the other afternoon, when a
well-dressed woman, about six feet
high, rushed up to the desk and mpor-
tuned the head clerk to find her hus-
band, who had become lost. There was
q search, and in few minutes the
diminutive partner-for he was only
three feet high-of her joys and sor-
rows was found. In full hearing of the
hotel help and guests she lectured her
midget husband severely for getting
lost, concluding by informing him that
had she not been so careless as to leave
the railroad tickets to Cleveland in his
keeping she would have left him be-
hind. The husband looked as if he were
sorry that she had not executed the
threat.

1t is seldom that negro leaves
large estate, and very seldom that he
leaves any part of it to the public or be-
nevolent institutions. The unfortunate
conditions which surround colored peo-
pie in the United States are largely re-
sponsible for this, says Leslie's Weekly.
An exception to the rule, however, is
to be noticed in Boston. The will of
Frederic G. Barbados, a wealthy ne
gro who died in that city several weeks
ago, was recently filed for probate, and
it was found that the bulk of his estate
was distributed in requests of from
$3.50 to $1,000 each to various colored
homes, asylums and churches, mostly
in Washington. He made 80 or 40 per-
sonal requests to relatives and friends,
and left the residue of the estate to the
Tuskegee university of Alabama, the
Lincoln university of Pennsylvania and
Manassas institute, Virginia.

A recent letter from Manila to the
St. Louis Globe Democrat contains this
paragraph: There are many sailors
and tramps in Manila, the former be-
coming deserters from ships in Manila
harbor so they could stay here to take
advantage of the opportunity for loot
ing. They are from both American
and English ships, and many of them
are very tough characters. They dress
up as American soldiers and watch
their opportunity where there is fire
or battle, but the United States
authorities are after them and will
soon round them all up and have them
in Jail. Several are there now. In
some instances the American soldiers
have been given the credit for the
crimes of these desperate men,"

1t is reported that there is farmer
named Rogers out in Indiana who pos
sessed Jersey cow, which he used to
drive, morning and evening, to and
from the pasture, not far from his
home. One morning, as one Of his
neighbors was passing along the road,
he met Mr.. Rogers walking in the mid
die of the lane, his mind apparently
engrossed with some weighty ques-
ton. The neighbor called out: "Good
morning, Mr.. Rogers. Where are you
going?" why" said Mr.. Rogers, in a
surprised way, "l'm driving this COW
to the pasture" and he waved his hand
toward where the COW ought to have
been. well, where is the cow" asked
the friend. II suppose l forgot to let
her out of the barn." answered Mr..
Rogers humbly, as he realized his posi-
ton. And he had.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1899-06-17

1t seems to us that there are several
tendencies in American life that must
be cured and cured thoroughly if
American character is to hold its own,
remarks the Indianapolis News. One
is the corruption in cities, as seen in
New York, emphasized now by the
Mazet inquiry. 1t cannot be that our
greatest city will forever submit to the
disgusting corruption of Crokerism and
Tammany. An insult so gross to all in
telligence and to the commonest moral
ity cannot certainly be perpetrated
world without end. There must be a
day of wrath, either for it or for the
people that permit it. The other is the
unrebuked lawlessness that prevails,
differing only in degree, alike in country
and in town, graduating from the gen
eral contempt of municipal regulations
in the wild outburst of a countryside in
mob murder. 1t cannot be that we
shall forever 60 on looking at these
things with comparative Indifference,
if not equanimity. They must end if
our civilization is to grow.
