Havana, January 1s.-General Jimi-
neg Ca~stellanos. former captain general
of Cuba. has complained TO Governor
General Brooke that the Cubans in the
province of Santa Clara are numbering
Spanish ex-volunteers. He says that
eight have been killed in one week.
A dispatch from Castellanos who Is
now in Cienfuegos. runs as follows:
Your Excellency:
Il have received several communi-
cations announcing assaults and acts
OF violence committed in various towns
upon persons who during the late sep
aratist war, served in the Spanish guer
rilla and irregular forces. 1t Is report
ed likewise that during the past week
eight such individuals have been as
sassinated in the municipal districts
of Panchelo and Esperanza, in this
province and that like deeds have been
committed at Yaguajay. Knowing
your just and noble intentions / have
the honor TO call your attention to the
above and to beg that you will take
suitable measures to punish the guilty
and to prevent the recurrence Of SINH
lar acts in the future.
Il am, with the greatest respect.
"CASTELLANOS."
The governor general. replying, said
he had referred the matter to Major
General John c. Bates, military govern
or of Santa Clara, with the directions
that prompt measures be taken to pun
ish the guilty and prevent the recur-
renee of similar acts"
General Mario Menocal, the chief of
police; Domingo Mendez Capote, rep
esenting the department of government
in the cabinet of advisers, and Juan
Gualberto Gomez, of the executive com
mittee of the Cuban assembly, attended
he banquet given at the Casino last
night by the Cuban assembly, in honor
of the Cuban chiefs. Generals Brooke,
Lee and Ludlow were invited. The
last two mentioned sent representatives.
The patriotic speeches delivered We're
all in favor of the immediate indepen-
dence of Cuba.
President Mckinley, the United
States, General Lee and Rear Admiral
Sampson were cheered. The junta
patriotica did not accept an invitation
to be represented, showing that real
jealousy exists between the Cubans.
The American board of pardons yester-
day recommended the release from Jail
of seven men who have been confined
here without trial, since 1897 tor the all
legged robbery from a safe of funds be-
longing to the navy paymaster for San
Juan de Porto Rico. The prisoners de-
clare, and information from San Juan
tends to sustain them, that the alleged
robbery was a plot upon the part of
Spanish officials to cover up their de-
linquincy and obtain scapegoats for the
Spanish paymaster at San Juan, who
it is further asserted, was probably a
party to the dishonesty in appropriating
the funds.
Following the disappearance of mon
ey at San Juan some two hundred sus-
poets were arrested and they were all re-
leased except seen, who were tortur-
ed for the purpose of obtaining a con-
fession and were shipped to Havana in
March 1897. They show the effects of
the torture upon them.

THE JOINT COMMISSION.

An Understanding Reached Between the
United States and Germany.
BERLIN, April "A correspondent
of the Associated Press learns author
itatively that after the acting minister
of foreign affairs. Baron Won Ritcht-
hoffeu. had been closeted with the en-
porer today. the United States ambas-
sador passed an hour at the foreign
Office. 1t is generally believed an un-
derstanding has been reached which
is likely to bring about an amicable
and satisfactory solution of the whole
Samoan difficulty.
1t is understood that while the Unit
ed States and Great Britain have
steadily declined to accept Germany's
two previous propositions, the new
one has been accepted by all three
powers. According to a high German
official, American explanations have
been found satisfactory, and the ac-
cepted proposal consists of the send
ing of joint commission to Samoa.
A semi official note published this
evening say the German proposal to
dispatch to Samoa high commission.
consisting OF an official plenipotentiary
from each power, is regarded by the
American government as being suit
able to the purpose.

opinion of the attorney general as to
whether section II of the act passed at

ing the efficiency of the army" pro-
hibits the continuance of the sale of
Intoxicating drinks by the govern
ment in the canteen sections of post
exchanges which are organized and
maintained at the various army posts
and encampments throughout the
United States.
The attorney-general in his reply
holds that the section in question does
not prohibit the continuance of the
sale ofintoxicating of liquors throughout
canteen sections, as heretofore organ

officer or enlisted man can be detailed
for duty in canteen sections to do the
selling.

A British steamer Goes Down Near the
Island of Guernsey.
SOUTHAMPTON, March 31.-The
passenger steamer Stella, plying be.
tween this port and the Channel is
lands, crashed upon the dreaded Cas-
quet rocks, near the island of Alderney
yesterday afternoon, in dense fog,
and foundered in 10 minutes. Her
boilers exploded with tremendous
report as she went down. The coast
ing steamer Lynx, which brought the
news OF the disaster here, picked up
four boats and 40 persons.
It is estimated that l20 persons were
drowned.
The second officer of the steamer,
who was among the number,rescued,
says collapsible boat was launched
full of people. but he thinks it struck
on the rocks, owing to the fog.
Another steamer has picked up boot
containing As persons, including 20
women who escaped from the wrecked
steamer.
The Stella left Southampton yester-
day conveying the first excursion OF
the season to the Channel islands.
There were about 1856 passengers on
board and crew numbering 80 men.
The weather was foggy. AT o'clock
Casquet rocks suddenly loomed up
through the fog bank, and the steamer
almost Immediately afterwards struck
amidship. The captain, seeing the
steamer was fast sinking, ordered the
lifeboats launched. Women and
children were embarked in the boats.
Then the captain ordered the men to
look after themselves.
A survivor stated that he and %
others put of from the steamer in
small boat. The sea was calm, but
there was big swirl around the rocks.
When this boat was short distance
away from the wreck the boilers OF
the Stella burst with q terrific explo.
si6n and the vessel disappeared stern
foremost in the sea. The last thing
the survivor saw was the figure of thu
captain of the Stella standing on the
bridge and calmly giving his last in
structions. The captain perished with
the vessel.
