A SORRY PICTURE.

A SORRY PICTURE.
The Herald quotes Osgood
Welsh, Cuban planter of thirty
years experience, as saying: |
"There is no getting away from
the fact that Gomez and not Gen
eral Brooke is the actual governor
of Cuba. The Americans own and
rule the cities, but the insurgents
know this and all his army officers
know it.
"Brigandsge is as bad now as it
was at any time under Weyler.
They are shooting the brigands
all the time. Six, I believe, were
shot the other day at Santiago.
The American people do not know
what is going on because the in
formation is kept from them.
American owners of plantations
are afraid to come out openly for
| annexation because they fear the
insurgents. But they are work.
ing under cover. As the owner of
lone of the largest plantations near
Cienfuegos. I am not afraid to
tell the truth. If annexation does
not come pretty quickly this 60
lvernment is going to have more
trouble in Cuba than it has ever
dreamed of.
ut is stated" was suggested,
shat the American planters can
not get laborers to work on their
plantations in Cuba and that they
are unable to protect their pro-
perry"
II think" said Mr.. Welsh, "that
the difficulty is more anticipated
/ than real, SO far as the employ
ment of labor is concerned. There
is scarcity of cane and cattle in
Cuba this year. Everything was
eaten up while the island was in q
Z state of blockade. I believe there
fare men enough to handle all the
> work there is to do this year and
l that in the future there will be nc
5 difficulty in getting men to WORK
S the plantations.
7 ave need not expect much helE
. from the insurgents in that re-
: spect. They do not want to work
and they will not work. Not t.
9 work is their idea of the victory
y the Americans have won for them
8 They are looking for government

CRAZY
Brownsville Police Gives Him
self up this Morning.

States That He is Murderer George
Porter Wants TO be Locked up For
Murder Investigation Shows That
He is Insane and That no Murder has
Been Committed.
Harry Pride was awakened this
morning by George Porter member of
the Brownsville police force who in
formed Pride that he had killed
man up the river near the Pump Sta
tion and wanted to surrender to the
law. Pride got up and went to the
scene of the killing. Porter related
to him that his opponent William
Terrell had crowded up,and was kill
ed after Porter had tried in vain to
get away.
Arriving at the place of the shoot
ing no trace was to be found of the
murdered man and 4 further investi-
cation showed that Porter was crazy.
The Brownsville authorities were COM
municated with this morning and he
will be taken home as soon as the ar
rangements can be made toward that
end.
Porter has been member Of the
Brownsville police for a number OF
years and is man of means He has
been in many shooting ARRAYS and Is
very brave officer A short time ago
he was mixed up In the Breckenridge
Pastorious SHOOTING scrape in which
one man was seriously shot while they
were attempting 60 arrest man.
A year ago he was shot by Terrell's
brother and nearly died from the eff
fects Of the wound. The insanity is
hereditary aud several members Of his
family have been victims of 1t. One
of them committed suicide while la
boring under some delusion.
Porter very quiet and does not seem
TO be crazy unless the evidence that
noone has been killed while he stoutly
aflirms that he is a murderer is taken
into consideration. No one has no.
tieed anything wrong with him dur
Ing his stay in town.

Work on the Blaekbottle is going
on very well and the track laying is
progressing rapidly The rails have
reached the place known as the hog
back up the creek. A bridge is being
built across the cut at this place to
enable teams TO get across TO the old
peninsula. This is very strong and
will allow the passage of heavy teams
at any time.
The matter of ballast has been
worrying the projectors and they have
at last solved this problem. They
have made arrangements with the
president of the Montana Coke Com
pany for enough refuse cinders to bal
last the track with.
The scarcity of cars and the demand
on the company for cars to haul other
freight here has prevented enough of
them being available TO haul the ties
and this is what has held the work on
the read until this time. The B. &
% promises to do better after this
however.

ADMITS RoBBING THE MAILS.
sydney Foster, n Colorcd Youth.
Taken Into Custody.

Sydney Foster. a colored youth. was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by the post
office authorities, charged with robbing the
United States mails. The arrest followed
an investigation by Postofiice Inspector
F. e. Little and the employees OF the post
office in this city. The warrant was sworn
out by United States Commissioner John
S. Fowler. Under examination Foster ad-
mitted his guilt and directed the officers
to the home of James Patterson. at 1910
Cameron Street, where the remains of an
empty mail pouch were discovered. Mr..
Patterson has the contract for hauling the
mails and Foster was employed by him.
The robbery, of which Foster is accused,
was committed one week ago, from train
No 81 over the Southern Railroad which
reaches Alexandria from Washington at
1903 p. m. Another mail train over the
Atlantic Coast Line arrives at Alexandria
seven minutes later. Because the trains
come so close together it is difficult for
one man TO handle both mails. and for
that reason Foster was intrusted with the
mail at the Southern station. II developed
next day that a mail pouch containing mail
for a local bank was missing. Enquiry
was made among the drivers but no clew
could be found until Friday night. when
complaint was made by Mrs. Samuel Brent
that she had not received pair OF gloves
which she expected by mail. The authori-
ties went TO work on that clew and dis
