RELIEF WORK AT HAVANA,
Gen. Ludlow Tells What Americans
Have Done for Cubans

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 19.-Gen. Will
liam Ludlow. military governor of Havana,
has written letter to a lady in this city
describing the relief work in Havana in
which he says:
when we began distributed rations to
nearly 10000 who were suffering from star
vation past or present, and reduced to a
condition of helplessness which forbade
them to do any work. They were dying in
the streets and in the country districts in
the most pathetic way. By the issues of
food they have been enabled in part to do
for themselves, and others have been pro-
vided for in various institutions, so that
at present 1 am feeding about 5000, OF whom
1,500 perhaps are aged invalids or very
young children requiring convalescent food
and the like. AS the season advances 1 am
enabled by degrees to move the people out
into the country, where they can sustain
themselves after a fashion, and to provide
work for others, SO that hope to make
still greater diminution in the number of
those who are entirely dependent. There
will still remain, however, formidable
residuum who cannot be disposed of by any
Of these means and must be supported out
right and in particular there are large
number of children whose future is a mat
ter of grave concern"

oughly with Secretary Alger and General
Brooke the best method of securing the
disbandment of the Cuban troops and their
re-entry into industrial life. 1t was decided
that a necessary step towards this end was
the surrender of the arms held by the
Cuban soldiers IL was apprehended that,
retaining their arms, some, if not a large
portion, inclined by their past predatory
existence, would lapse into brigandage. So
the President himself ordered General
Brooke to cause the arms of the Cuban SOL
diers to be delivered up to Representatives
of the United States army. With these in
structions General Brooke has been pa
tiently striving to carry out the Presidents
plan. He has arrived at that point where
the Cuban leaders. as matter Of senti-
ment, they say, make it a condition of dis
armament that the arms shall be placed in
the custody OF the mayors of the Cuban
towns. Realizing that to assent to such
conditions would be contrary to the Pres
ident's instructions, General Brooke has
telegraphed to Secretary Alger the facts in
the case and asked for a decision. The Sec
retary, in turn, has communicated with
the President and asked for instructions.
for he feels that he is not authorized to
amend or revoke an order originally eman-
ating directly from the President. That is
the state OF the case at present. The Pres
ident has not yet notified the Wa- Depart
ment of his intentions.
1t is said at the War Department that
should the Cuban leaders refuse to accept
General Brooke's proffer, whether it is con-
ditioned on the surrender of arms to the
United States army officers or TO Cuban
mayors, that will terminate the efforts Of
the governor general to come to q satisfac-
tory arrangement with these leaders. For.
thereupon, General Brooke will proceed to
address himself directly to the Cuban pri-
vate soldiers. He will have his agents
United States army ofiicers-pay off every
bona fide Cuban soldier who is willing to
comply with the conditions laid down by
him, and this will be done without further
reference to any of the malcontent leaders,
who have so long retarded a settlement.

BERLIN, May 19--The Independence
Beige publishes an interview with Prof.
Rudolph Virchow, the leader of German
Liberalism, on the subject of the peace con-
ference, in the course of which he is repre-
sented as having said: Disarmament is in
the air. Sooner or later 1t will be realized
by all nations under the law Of develop
ment. The programme of Emperor Nicholas
Is comprehensive and complicated, but the
fact that the powers accepted his call is
significant enough. One factor in the situa-
tion is the weakness Of public opinion Ma
tions are led astray by deceptive idea
Of glory and honor. The United States have
lately offered a pitiable example OF that. A
civilized land has been plunged into war
by the criminal agitation of brainless dema-
gogues and the incapacity of rulers. The
United States have sinned against humanity
and civilization. Let US hope that the
Americans have at least recovered from
their bout of intoxication and will redeem
the errors of their country All this is an
illustration Of the difficulties confronting
