MRS. STEVENSON PROTESTS.

London, May 3.-Robert Louis Ste
yenson's widow has written a letter to
the Westminster Gazette from Fun
chal, Madria, on the bombardment OF
Samoan villages by the British and
American warships. She says:
president Mckinley allowed no fir
ing on Cuban towns unless they gave
active cause of offense, and Commo
dore Watson was ordered not to at
tack undefended Spanish cities. Does
the president keep his humanity from
civilized countries alone" She de-
clares Samoan villages are inhabited
in time of war by non-combatants,
who have to choose between the shells
of the warships,, and taking to the
bush. Under such conditions, she
says delicate women can hardly exist.
while children die like flies.

COST OF THE WAR.

Washington, d. c., May 3.-The war
with Spain VIII have cost considerably
over $500, 100000 by the time all the
items of expense incurred have been
summed up. Figures are not yet OBJ
tainable to show the exact cost of the
war, and it may never be possible to
give the correct total, because Of the
difficulty in segregating from the civil
expenditures just what should be
charged to the account of the war. For
instance, extra clerks were employed
in the treasury department ana in the
internal revenue bureau as a result Of
the issue of war bonds.
