the present the only problem is the res

The party was driven first to the state

.CUBANS HATE THE SPAuIARDS
A DISPOSITION TO PROSECUTE
THEIR RECENT FOES. ~
General Brooke Issues a Decree Stop
ping All Prosecutions For. Acts
Committed During the War.

Havana March 24s.-That the Cuban
and Spanish rancor and hatreds, the
outgrowth of the war conditions, are
still actively pursued in Cuba, is evil
denced by scommunica ton recently
sent to Governor General Brooke by
Senior .Lanuza, head of the department.
of justice and public instruction. He
says it is a. matter of daily occurrence
that in different parts of The island
proceedings are taken against those
who belong to guerilla and other Span
ish forces. during the war, for crimes
imputed to have been committed at
that time.
.'Cuba's peace" Senior Lanuza adds.
requires that this be stopped. If we
open the door to such accuse tons VIC
should soon have series of, actions
against Cuban leaders and resident
Spanish soldiers which would consti-
tute a continuation of the war, but with
other arms. The Cuban army, under
the necessity of war, burned property
and saized food and clothing. The
Spaniards did similar. things. These
men should not now be prosecuted in
the courts for acts committed in war
time. Cuba must forget the pass. Such
prosecutions disturb the country recon
struction. The matter Should be han
died at the root by ordering them tc
cease all prosecutions.
Following the suggestion contained
in Senior Lanuza's letter, Governor
General Brooke will issue a decree to
the effect that the civil and military
judges must dismiss all present and
pending actions against troops III the
field for or. against Spain during the
war for acts committed then. Further,
the governor general will order the i'm
mediate release of all men now held in
custody on such charges.
Last night the members of the var
ious patriotic societies held a meeting
here, at which it was decided to APP
point deputies from the wards Of the
city to arrange mass meetings through
out the island with a view to determin-
ing the platform of the new national
Cuban party.
News was received this morning that
eighteen bandits had taken the field
near Guanajay, province of Pinar del
Rio. and had slept last night in the
neighborhood of Cayajajabos.

ACTIVITY OF THE ENEMY.
Kansas Men Wounded In a Skirmish
Yesterday

Manila, March 24.-The enemy is ex-
tremely active in the vicinity of Mala-
bon, preparing defenses, evidently
anticipating an attack. They keep well
under cover. A small body of rebels,
however, emerged from the jungle on
the extreme left and fired on the
Kansas troops in the trenches, fatally
wounding Private Cohen of company
B, and Private MUIR, of company E.
The Oregon volunteers and the
Twenty infantry marched to the
front today. The Third and Seven
teenth regiments have disembarked
from the Sherman. General H. G. Otis
brigade struck their tents this morn
ing and an early move is probable.
Sixteen English refugees arrived
here yesterday from Dagupan, the rail-
road terminus. on board the steamer
Saturnus. They report that the ma
tives are generally friendly and the
officers invariably courteous. Mr.. Hig-
gins, manager of the railroad, and
about dozen unmarried men in charge
of various business interests, decline to
take advantage of the opportunity to
leave. Nothing has. been heard from
the two American planters at CaIumpit
since hostilities began.
According to Filipino accounts a
thousand Americans have been killed,
the fatalities being especially heavy at
Caloocan, where the United States
troops rushed like mad men against
a storm of bullets"

RELIEVING VOLUNTEERS.
All Will Be Out of Cuba By April
the 25th

New York, March PA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Adjutant General Corbin has under
taken to get all the volunteers out of
Cuba by April 25 and arrangements are
now being perfected with that end in
view. This is fully two weeks within
the limit of May 10. set by the presi-
dent before he left for the south. The
proportions of the undertaking may be
realized when it is remembered that
twenty three regiments must be trans
ported by sea to the United States ports
within month
All the government transports now at
the Atlantic will be utilized. These in
cludes the Dixie, which has been Sc
cured from the navy department, the
Comal, the Crook, the FITZPATRICK, the
Sedkwick and the Thomas, besides such
Ward and Plant fine steamers as can
be used.
For the past week every effort has
been made to bring home at least ten
of the regiments before April 1, when
Surgeon General Wyman of the marine
hospital service insists that quarantine
against West Indian ports shall be es-
tablished.

and the superintendent of mails turned
away The woman ran after him, she
had broken down and was crying.
"Oh, let me have it, Let me have it,
she cried. 1T is a letter that my hus-
band has written to another woman"
Even this could not move the super
intendent and the wretched wife went
out in food of tears.
CAUGHT BY AN IS"
Another time the superintendent of
mails discovered attempted fraud by a
discrepancy in the capital letter &c"
A young negro woman applied for a
letter and it was found that the only
difference between the address on the
envelope and that on the slip was in the
capital letter IS For that reason the
SUPERINTENDENT of mails refused to re-
turn the letter.
At another time a young man asked
for a letter which he claimed to have
written to a friend in Denver. The su-
perintendent asked the young man to
write out the address, but the applicant
could not write.
The average number of letters re-
claimed daily from the Kansas City
postofice is three. Most of these are
written by business men. Although in
these cases the superscription is usu-
ally in typewriter characters the ap-
plicant is required only to give a re-
ceipt for the letter. The question Of
handwriting is, of course, eliminated.
In 1898, at the time when several
banks closed their doors, dozen let
tiers were reclaimed daily They were
letters written by depositors inclosing
money to be deposited. These letters
had been sent before the banks had
closed their doors, and the news
brought the depositors to the postoffice
fnr. their money.

MADAME DREYFUS FINED.
Penalty For Directing to Three of
the Judges.

Paris, March 24-In the court of
cessation today NJ. Ballet de Beaupre,
president of the civil section CT the
court of cessation, read a report rec
ommending the rejection of the appli-
cation of Madame Dreyfus for the ex-
clusion from the revision inquiry of
three judges, Mn. Petit, Crepon and Lee
pellotier, who, in the early stages OF!
the proceedings, decided unfavorably
on a Dreyfus question. The public
prosecutor, NJ Manau, recommended
that the contrary action be taken, for.
mally supporting the granting of the
application of Nine. Dreyfus. After a
long deiiberation the court decided tc
reject the application, ana condemned
Nine. Dreyfus to pay line of 1UC
francs.
The fining of Nine. Dreyfus was a
formal matter. The civil code dictates
that if a request for the exclusion OF
the judges is refused, the applicant
must pay fine, the minimum being
100 francs.

WHEELER'S BOOK CRITICISED.
Army Officers Say the General Has
Taken Too Much Credit.

IF General Wheeler is wise he will
buy and burn every copy of his book
on the Santiago campaign, which has
just been issued, because if he does
not it will make him the victim of the
vengeance of every other officer who
took part in the operations of the Fifth
army corps last summer. AS long as
ne was satisfied to appear in parades
and make speeches at banquets, they
were willing to let him alone, but when
the president proposed to nominate him
as major general in the regular army
they raised their hands and voices in
protest and threatened to expose him
General Wheeler occupies in the
army a position very similar to that
occupied by Admiral Schley in the
navy. He is a popular idol, a man
whom the public delights to honor, who
appears on all occasions as an ideal
soldier, but is almost unanimously
mathematical by his fellow officers,
who express for him very little respect.
When the president was down at Mont
gomery last December, General Wheeler
made a glorious speech which awak-
ened intense enthusiasm. General
Lawton was called upon as he conclud-
ed. and with a grim face said: I am
not a speechmaker, L am only a SOL
der: 1 am not a hero, L am only
regular And then he sat down. Cen
eral Wheeler did not see the satire, but
General Shafter did.
General Wheelers book is likely to
excite a controversy compared with
which the SampsonSchley dispute will
be only a whisper to a tornado, because
he claims for himself all the credit Of
the victory of Santiago. A citizen of
New Zealand who reads the volume
would suppose Wheeler was the whole
thing. Army officers who have exam
med it critically claim that he steals
the glory which belongs to LawtOn.
Sumner, Kent, Bates and nearly ev-
cry other commander in Skaters
army, and leads the reader to under
stand that without him the campaign
would have been an entire failure. They
say. also. that. in addition to belit<ling
the services of his associates, the gen
eral is very inaccurate in his state
ments, which, of course, will give his
critics an opportunity to pound him,
and they will not fail to take advant-
age of it,"
