Six Hundred Thonsand Cubans
starved to- Death nv Thatcon-
scienceiess 0mciaI.

After having served five months in
Cuba, during which time he took occa-
sion TO investigate the condition Of the
rural districts of the island, Gen. ~
Warren Keifer Is convinced OF the
truth Of the statement that C00,00o Gu
bans were starved to death by Gen.
Weylers reconcentration plan. Gen.
Eeifer told a Tribune reporter about
some OF the things he saw in Cuba
which bear cut the horrible stories OF
Spanish cruelty that have appeared in
the newspapers from time to time.
Among other things" said the gen
eral, II saw rough coffin, attached to
an ordinary push cart, which, was
informed, had been used to haul TO
the dumping grounds the bodies Of
5000 reconcentrados. AT Guines,
small town southeast of Havana, q
cemetery was shown to me where l2,-
500 bodies are buried Within an hours
journey OF the city of Havana ! have
travelled for ten miles without seeing
a living soul, and this in section that
was once well populated. Three miles
from the town of Guines are the Proyi-
dencia sugar mills, large concern
owned by two brothers-Spaniards.
zone day last February l rode out to
the mills. The proprietors and a small
force of workmen were inspecting the
machinery, preparatory to starting up
operations after the long season OF
idleness. A veritable village Of crude
little huts surrounded the mills, but
/ noticed that they were all empty.
With view to finding out what had
become Of their occupants, | entered
into conversation with one Of the broth
ers.
ct suppose you have no trouble in
getting workmen here? said l, as
starter.
"'Oh, yes.' he replied; that is the
greatest difficulty we have to contend
with
"'But what has become of the oc-
cupants of all these huts?' | asked.
"He looked at me sharply for mo-
ment, and then answered: They have
died within the past year-2,50O OF
them.
"On another occasion, in company
with my chief surgeon, DR.. Kane, OF
the regular army, paid visit to
reconcentrado hospital in Guines. We
found probably $50 miserable wrecks,
mostly women and children, who had
survived their barbarous treatment.
"But DIR. Kane and agreed that it
would have been far better for them
If they had died. ! did not know be-
fore that starvation was capable of
distorting the human frame SO fright
fully. There were children with one
leg swollen to twice its natural size
and the other shrunken to skin and
bones. Women whose bodies were so
emaciated that it seemed impossible
that life could find a foothold in them
Law about the floor. We had brought
them some rice and hardtack, and the
eagerness with which they devoured
1t was pitiful to see. Our visit was a
short one. / have seen many dreadful
sights, but never anything that moved
me as did that reconcentrado hospital.
1t is an actual fact that the thought
of it kept me awake all night. Nine
tenths of the reconcentrados who died
were rural people, and as consequence
the great, fertile valleys of Cuba have
been almost depopulated. IN. Y. Trib-

Great Britain is getting ready for

cal and conflict may be far-reaching

more troops and more military stores
sent to south Africa. This ii the ari-
swer to President Krugerss last pro-
l'posal. whcih contained demands which
are considered inadmissible. But for!
those demands the concessions offered
are about all that IL asked for. At the
conference held with Kruger at BloeHn-
fontein Sir Alfred Miner insisted on the
granting Of the right of suffrage, with
moderate property qualification, to all.
the Uitlanders whoshad been Ave years
In the Transvaal and increased repre-
sentation of the gold fields In the legis-
lature. The bill passed by the volks-
raad mdde the term OF residence seven
years, which would have barred out
temporarily the large number of men
who went to the Transvaal in 1893. after
the completion OF the railroad to Jo-
hannesburg. That bill was unaccepta-
BILE to the British government.
President Kruger offers now a five
years retroactive franchise, with a
share In the election OF president. and
an increase of seven or eight seats in
the representation of the gold fields.
Under this scheme the Uitlander vot-
ers. after making allowance for men
who would not wish to abjure their old
allegiance and become citizens of the
Transvaal, would rather outnumber the
Boer voters. but would not be able to
elect more than third of the members
of the Volksraad until there is reap
portionment, which will not be made In
any great haste. The advantages Of the
gerrymander are as well understood in
Africa as in the United States.
President Kruger's counter-demands
are TINT (yraot foin ,,je,1,
all suzerainty rights over the Trans
yaal; must not use the present inter-
ference with the franchise question as a
precedent; and must agree to submit to
arbitration, but not to a foreign power,
all questions in dispute not settled by
the concessions offered. These are de-,
mands which might be granted in whole
or In part by good-natured ministry
IN return for the full concession to the
Uitlanders of all the rights they are en-
titled to, provided the British govern
ment had any confidence that the Beers
would not abuse the grant of undisput-
ed independence. Having no such con-
fidence, President kruger's demands
are deemed impossible. The answer to
them is the dispatch Of soldiers to the
Cape.
President Kruger has been yielding,
little by little, since spring. when he be-
came satisfied that the British govern
ment was in earnest. He may Yield
again, and avert conflict which can
have but one end. Yet the Transvaal
authorities seem to be bent on accumu-
lating great stores of munitions Of war,
which can be of no use except to fight
the English. 1t may be that President
krugers last proposal is his ultimatum.
Then the British government will have
to back down or use force to secure
compliance with it's demands.

SENATOR cuLLoM ON WAR
.[Chicago Tribune

[Chicago Tribune.]
In endorsing President Schurman'.
recent utterances on the Philippine
question Senator Cullom has voiced the
sentiments of the great majority of Illi-
noisans. The cheers given MIN by the
1000 people who heard him at Glen Park
are Indicative of the feelings of the ma
tion at large. Senator Cullom is right
in holding that the same high principles
| of honor that indicated the freeing of
Cuba from Spanish tyranny are back
| of the determined movement to compel
peace in the Philippine Islands. No dis
Interested class of American citizens
wants the government to accept of
| Aguinaldo's invitation to get OUT and

The old soldiers of the civ.i war will not
tolerate such proposition. The sturdy
men who till the soil will not tolerate
| 1T. The patriotic young men of the ma
ton would rise in protest at the first
indication of such a move. Senator
Cullom spoke what every thoughtful
American knows to be true when he
said that President McKinley's admin
istration does not believe in '.imperial-
| ism, militarism, or foreign alliances -
The presidents official acts have suf-
| ficiently shown this, from the time
| when he tried to avert the Spanish war
| by diplomatic methods to the recent
bootless negotiations with Aguinaldos
Iinsincere ENJOYS at Manila. The mo-
| tives that are now leading to the enlist
| ment of twenty volunteer regiments to
crush the Filipino rebellion are motives
of high national honor, with which the
nation is in full sympathy. The APP
plause brought out by Senator Cullom's
address showed that the people have
kept abreast of the Philippine issue and
will listen to no proposal of retreat or
abandonment of duty at Manila.
