ALL FOR HUMANITY.
A Storm in Cuba-Federal Camps
Flooded.

HAVANA Jan. S.-General Lee camp was
almost drowned ont last night, many compan-
les being driven to the high ground by the
severe storm that swept over the province.
Rain fell in showers all day, bringing dis
comfort, but it was not until about midnight
that the real storm broke. Then water fell IL
sheets. resembling a cloudburst.
The Second Battalion Of the Second North
Carolina suffered most. being without tents.
The men were worn ont by the fatigue of Il
march from the city and many, rolled in blan-
ketS, slept through the storm with the water
almost floating over them.
The Fourth Virginia also suffered much.
The wind seemed To strike the tents Of this
regiment with supreme fury, sweeping them
to the ground as # they were made of card
board
The Fourth and Ninth Illinois suffered
severely, probably one tent in every four Of
both regiments being leveIed by the wind.
The tents that remained standing were rem
dered useless BY wafer, which stood knee deep
ia most Of them.

In acquiring control of Cuba, it seems the
United States acquired the necessity Of spend
ing about ten millions of dollars to improve
the sanitary condition of Havana, so that the
health and lives of our troops may be pro-
tected and the spread of yellow fever to this
country prevented. In annexing Hawaii we
have imposed upon us the task Of fighting
leprosy, which will also add to the burdens of
the people. Ts assume control of lepers and
make provision against the spread of leporsy
to this country seems to be government ne
cessity.

Kills Young Girl and Then Mutilates
Her Body.

New York. March 23-James Bill
lings, a negro ex-convict, was arrested
in Brooklyn yesterday on the charge
of having killed Susie Martin in the
district known as "HelIs Kitchen" in
1894. Billings arrest was brought
about by the confession Of William
Johnson, a negro convict whose SEN
tence at Sing Sing has just expired.
Susie Martins murder created a great
sensation at the time. Eleven days
after the murder the girls headless
and limbless body was found in a
39th street cellar. Almost year
later the little girls skull was discov-
cred in heap of rubbish in cellar
at 459 West 46th street After Susie
Martins body had been discovered
Johnson declares his friend confessed
to him. The man said that he was in
toxicated when he met the girl. ne
dragged her into the cellar and, after
assaulting her, choked her to death
and then cut up the body.

URGE THEM TO QUIT
COMMISSIONERS TO ISSUE AN
ADDRESS TO REBELS.
GIVING OUR INTENTIONS
Filipinos Will Be Appealed to Lay
Down Their Arms and Cooperate
in the Interests of Good Govern
ment-Aguinaldo Executing Those
Advising Submission.

Manila, March 21.-The United
tates-Philippine commission held It's
first meeting yesterday and decided TO
issue a pronunciamento to the inhablt-
ants OF the islands. The document
will explain the spirit in which the
United States intends to fulfill the
trust imposed and will call upon the
people of the islands to lay down their
arms and cooperate in the interests OF
good government.
1t is reported on hitherto reliable
authority that AguinaIdo is taking ex-
IRENE measures to suppress signs cal
culated to cause a cessation OF hostll1-
ties. Twelve adherents to the plan Of
independence, residents of Manila,
have been condemned to death because
they wrote advising surrender, and all
loyal Filipinos have been called upon
to perform the national service of dis
patching them. Gen. Lagarda visited
Malolos for the purpose of advising
Aguinaldo to quit. He argued with
the insurgent leader and attempted to
convince him of the folly of persist
ence in tie fa-se Of su4a overwhelming
odds. AguinaIdo became furious and
ordered Lagarda executed. He was
promptly decapitated. The Mountain
banditti of Panay island recently
threatened serious attack upon
Iloilo, but they were repulsed with
loss of 200 by Gen. Miller.
Release of Prisoners.
washington, March 21-The ques-
ton of permitting the Spanish gov
eminent to negotiate with Aguinaldo
for the release of the Spanish pris-
oners held by him is still under consid-
Grafton. The president himself will
be the person to decide whether or not
this shall be done, the authorities
hesitating to interfere in any way with
the working out of General Otis plans
and he has forbidden the ransom.
Red Cross Denies Report.
Geneva, March 21.-The information
al committee of the Red Cross society
declares there is no foundation what
ever for the statement reported to have
been made at Madrid by Gen. Polavie-
ia, minister of war, to the effect that
he had received a dispatch from the
committee giving him notice Of
convocation of the general assembly
of the Red Cross society for the pur-
pose of appointing delegates to nego-
tate for the release of Spanish pris-
oners in the hands or the FiIlpinos.
On the contrary, the committee in
formed the Spanish Red Cross society
that it regretted being unable to un-
dertake the role which was not with
in it's province.

Kingston, March "a political
crisis of gravity, said to be the most
complete since 1863, is now occupying
the attention of Jamaica. The gov

Berlin, March 23.-A petition was
received at the foreign Office here yes
terday, signed by all the Germans in
Samoa, protesting Yehemently against
the retention of Chief Justice Cham
bers, and the further maintenance
of the Berlin treaty, which is charac-
terized as no longer bearable. The
petitioners detail number of alleged
contraventions of the treaty by
Chambers and especially toward herr
Greyeslnuehl, chief of police. The
petition and official reports will be
sent to United States ambassador,
White, in support of the German case.
The Lokal Anzeiger publishes letter
from it's Samoan correspondent, Herr
Won Wollfordorsf, dated February
21st The writer declares that if the
German government will not protect
the Germans of Samoa against the in
justice of Chambers, the country will
rise armed and demand redress. The
Tageblatt demands the removal of E.
B. S. Maxse, the British consul at
Apia, claiming that he is the prime
cause of all the trouble. -
Relating to the inconvenience of
the Berlin treaty, the petition begs
that, if the government cannot annul
the treaty and declare a German pro-
tectorate, it will at least obtain an
amendment securing real equality of
privilege" to the three nations, SO that
the German law, language and money
will be assured equality of privilege,
and that the officials may be appoint
ed under the treaty VINO understand
German and that the powers of the
chief justice may be properly de-
fined. The petitioners oppose a par
titiOn.

DIR. Semi TESTIFIES.
He Says the Canned Beef Lacked Nu-
trious Qualities.

Chicago, March 22.-The govern
ment court of inquiry last night exam
ined two witnesses with reference to
the beef Question-Dr. Nicholas Sem
and Lieut.-Col. A. w. COrliss. The
court will hold an all-day session to-
day, expecting to leave for New York
this evening or tomorrow morning.
Dr. Sem of Chicago, who served in
Cuba and Porto Rico, testified that the
troops in Cuba lived largely on canned
roast beef and bacon. He had every
reason to believe that the canned beef
was not roasted but boiled. It was
tasteless, and certainly appeared to
lack nutritious qualities, as was appar-
ent from the condition of the men who
returned from Cuba to MOntauk-
who had never been i'll but were
greatly emaciated. He believed the
meat was oveTdone; that there was
some fault in the process of prepare
ton. The bacon was of good quality
He could say nothing about the re-
frigerated beef because he did not see
any of it in Cuba or Porto Rico.
Inefe SnOuIQ De variety III Cne medCId-
ton, independently of it's qualities.
He thought one of the meat supplies
of the future for the army should be
dried beef. The witness stated that
meat prepared by the packers accord
ing to the testimony given would not
lose much of it's nutrition on account
of being boiled in cans. He saw no
evidence. of the use of chemicals in
the canned roast beef. He had heard
of cases of ptomaine intoxication but
did not see any. Ptomaines would not
deyelope if the meat were thoroughly
