CUBANS WANT NO WORK.
Say They are Soldiers, Not Scavengcrs
Case of yellow Fever

Havana. Jan. 2S.-Gencral Snyder re-
ports that five or six hundred members
of the Cuban army are encamped near
Sancti Spiritus, loafing about and pilfer-
ing and begging food. General Snyder
sent word to them that if they would
come to Sancti SpiIitus and help the
Americans to clean the town they would
receive pay and rations, but the offer
was refused, the Cubans replying that
they were soldiers, not scayengerS.
\ prominent Spaniard, long a resident
of Cuba. and all of whose interests are
here, declares thnt if the Americans
tomorrow demand the disarmament OF
the Cuban army without pity, storm
of passionate protests would follow, but
the army would obey, possibly fow
of them becoming bandits and taking
to the hills. He also says that the
most salutary steps taken by the Ameri-
cans since their arrival In. the islands
have been those enforcing obedience to
and respect for their their authority.
4 second case of yellow fever has
developed in the Second engineers, in
General Lees camp. The men attacked
had been engaged in cleaning out cess
pools Mt Cabanas with Meyer Schmidt,
who recently died from the fever.
Major General Ludlow, Military Gov
ernor of the Department Of Havana.
has issued IN order suspending the exc.
cutiOn of judgments against the city, so
that to satisfy Spanish claims the treas.
ury will not be kept without money.
The Banco Espanol is now collecting ana
will continue to collect certain municipal
dues including fees, market rents ana
meat taxes, out of which the bank will
pay itself the interest on the $S,000,00U
bonds of the floating debt. The bank
may be superseded later, when the fl
nancial commission shall have prepared
a plan for administering the finances,
The contract with the bank is hard
and fast legal device and has been oper-
ated since 1891. One of the banking
functions has been to collect the school
taxes in Gunabacoa and supervise the

LEADS ALL NORTH CAROLINA nALES u NEWS AND CIRCULATION

it is fully understood as it is now in the
West and South, and the sooner the
Democracy of New York begins the de-
Tense of the Chicago platform the sooner
the work of education will be completed.
To ignore the platform when all the
States West and South endorse it will
have all the force of Il declaration
against the platform. and such a course
will make it more difficult to endorse
the platform hereafter.
1--WE were embarrassed in the last
campaign by the fact that the Demo
Gratis of your State went to Chicago to
oppose the platform which was adopted.
Unless the party in New York expects
to repeat this experiment in 1900. it
should lose no time in taking a firm
stand unon the Chicago platform. In
urging this course upon Tammany and
the Democracy of New York, / ought
to suggest that the party in New York
had something at stake, as well as the
party in the nation.
"Tammany needs the Democracy OF
the nation as much as the national party
needs Tammany. and Tammany should
recognize this fact. Democratic princi-
pies have too firm hold upon the plain
people to give the party in any section
any promise of success by abandoning
them. Democracy was defined at Chi
cago, and the definition is so satisfac-
tory that no material change will be
made in that definition for years to
come. | hope the New York Democrats,
for their good. as well as for the good
of the PARTY and country at large-will
speedily bring themselves within the
definition by giving an unqualified en-
dorsement of the Chicago platform.
Yours truly,
