La Patria IndOraes the American
Administration.
Havana May 10--A sensational report
has been published In the local papers
here of the discovery of 500 Mauser rifles
in the possession of a prominent anti
annexationist of Havana.
Chief of Detective Alfonso Lopez char
acterizes the report as absurd. and says
that II was customary for the Spanish
colonels to keep the regimental arms
at their homes, where they could be ae-
cessible to the soldiers in case of need.
Senior Lopez said that he knew Of many
such officers houses that had not yet
been searched, and he believed that he
could collect in forty-elght hours many
more arms, and probably obtain 10000
rounds of ammunition.
La Patria, one of the best edited pa
pers in Havana, comes out to-day with
an editorial strongly indorsing the Ameri-
can administration. Its utterances are
regarded as representing the best thought
of the thinking element of the commune
ity.
Senior Perfecto Lacoste, Mayor of Ha-
vana, with the approval of Maj. Gen.
Ludlow, will issue a decree prohibiting
the wearing Of undershirts exposed-that
Is, uncovered by outer shirts or coats
in public places doorways, windows. or
balconies, under penalty Of Imprisonment
at hard labor In the discretion of the
court.

ACT OF CONGRESS REQUIRED.
Secretary Alger Cannot Give snvan-
nah Spanish Cannon.

Washington, May l0-(special )-Sec-
retary Alger to-day received very
courteous letter from Mayor Myers, re-
questing that Savannah be given one or a
pair of the Spanish guns captured In
Cuba.
Similar requests have come from almost
every city in the United States as the de-
sire for these souvenirs OF the late war is
very great.
Unfortunately, Secretary Ayers hands
are tied in This direction by the law which
renders these captured guns the property
of the United States and they can only be
disposed of by an act of Congress.
Il viii be recalled that all of the con-
demned and captured cannon as the result
of the war of the states could only be dis
trIbuted among the Grand Army posts and
military Institutions by a special act of
Congress. The same law applies to the can
non captured from Spain, and Secretary
Alger has been Obliged 10 make that state
ment to all who have applied to him for
Spanish cannon.
Secretary Alger says he has n very kind
~ feeling for the city and the citizens of
Savannah, and he would gladly comply
with Mayor Myers request II II were pos
sible. without violating the law on the sub
ject He so stated in his reply to the may
or's communication.
1t is quite likely that Representative Les
ter can get Congress 10 pass a special act
next winter in accordance with the desires
of the people of Savannah. and then Sec
retary Alger will take peculiar pleasure in
supplying the desired cannon.

PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS
HOUSES SHOULD NOT THROW
STONES.

We try never to go into Mysteries about
the way men born in the North treat
the negro, and have always deprecated
any attempt to inject such matters into
campaign. There are eminently respect
able people in the North who would in
vite a negro to their homes. 1t is all a
question of raising and of taste
Recently when a Jefferson banquet
was given in New York, the Associated
Press, by mistake, sent out a report,
white men and cOlored men We're ell
bowling each other on terms of entire
equality The Atlanta Constitution
says: knowing that the fact alleged was
either misleading or untrue, it struck
it out" The Montgomery Advertiser, a
Cleveland worshipper, denounced the
Constitution for blue-pencilling the so
cial equality paragraph in a raspine
editorial. The Constitution makes eff
fective reply by publishing the correction
of the report made by the Associated
EtsS report, WHICH Sailu uo SoioItu MAJ
was seated at the dinner table" and thai
there were no ''colored people present a'
guests at the dinner" That was com
plete and conclusive answer, but the Con
stitution went on to say:
1T is expecting too much to ask al
these nervous gentlemen to retract theil
editorial utterances and to admit tina
intelligent editing is in the interest o.
truth. But, since the question is up
let us pursue it a little further. Al
these newspapers were such strong sup
porters of the personal policy of Mr.
Cleveland that they made it, insteat
of the platform, the standard of thei
democracy. If the accidental, or ever
intentional, presence of negro ut
general public dinner would have beer
so damaging to Mr.. Bryan, how was i
in regard to Mr. Cleveland?
During his first term in office Presi
dent Cleveland gave full official and so
cial recognition to Frederick Douglass
the black agitator and miscegenationist
Nor was this all, for during his secont
term in office he appointed negro a
ambassador to Il white government
where, awed by the greatness of on
government, the weaker one would hav'
been forced TO throw open the doors o
