CUBAN PAPERS MAKE PROTEST.
Against Printing Drignnd stories
Then They Print Them.

Havana, July l0.-La Lucha to-day IN an
editorial regarding the stories of brigand-
age published in the American and Cuban
press complains Of their frequent occur
renee, and says.
"Thcse alarming tales are generally put
into circulation by painters in Isolated
districts who want garrisons Of American
soldiers ana who fear retaliation from the
Cubans for real or faucied grievances; by
planters wishing for protection against
cattle thieves, and believing thar rural
police are needed, with a view of giving
employment TO men who would otherwise
menace The community; by the insurgents
themselves who have become accustomed
to a nomadic existence and desire 10 con-
tinue as rurals; by Spanards anxious 10
convince the world that the Cubans are
unreliable and by spectators who desire
to dcpreciate values"
The paper alludes to Gen. Wilson's re
cent order forbiddlng the rural guards &
give any information to the press, and
says that if there were no attempts al
concealment and everything were given
unrese vedly to the papers. there would
probably be less sensa tionalism.
The same issue that contained this cdi-
torial contained also in its Geographic col
umns bandit stories from Puerto Principe
Mazanillo and Cienfuegos
Recently the Havana Herald abused its
contemporary generally for publishing
bandit stories. on the following day It
devoted an entire co.umn TO a wild yarn
from Guanajay
As a matter OF fact, every paper in Hn-
vana has objected to such publications
on the part of its rivals.
In most Of these cases, when the evil
dence is carefully sifted, it turns out that
the alleged brigandage is petty thievery,
but there is no doubt that bandits exist
at several points, bands of from ten to
fifty men who have not the pluck to go
into the cities and hold up banks and rail-
road trains, but prefer to take isolated
stores, raid smal villages and swoop
down upon distant plantations.
Eel Reconcentrado publishes an extract
from La Verda of Cienfuegos headed: "Po-
lice News" which 1t followed by three
blank lines and then the display sentence,

Commenting upon the censorship, El
Reconceutrado asks what Is going on at
Cienfuegos that it should be deemed neces-
sary 10 suppress facts in this important
branch of the administration.

POLITICAL CUaIOsITIEs.
DIR. L. G. BrOughton and ex-Capt.
Joiner VIII Rum for CnnnciI


Atlanta, July 10-rhe old saying that
politics makes strange bedfellows is. IL
appears, to have a striking veridcation in
the next municipal campaign ia this city.
DR. l.. G. Broughton, the sensational
preacher who jumped upon Mayor Wood
ward because of his excessive Indulgence
in the cup that cheers. demanding his ex-
pulsion from the head of the city govern
ment, and Capt. John c. Joiner. who was
dismissed from the police force for a sim
liar infraction of the rules of sobriety.
though he had served twenty years
without getting drunk are the probable
principals in this illustration of the old
saw
According to the reports to-day. DR.
Broushton is going to be run for Council
that he and his followers may have an
opening in the city government If he
should get in, The long-hared pastor of
the Tabernacle Church would fairly bleach
things with his purifying eloquence. He
is to be run as a vindication OF as a re-
Duke to the present Council for its refu-
sal to turn the Mayor out at the demand
of DR.. Broughton.
In marked contrast to this is the Joiner
movement, which is IN fair way to Gull
inmate in the candidacy of the former no.
liceman, his friends holding that he is en-
titled to a vote of confidence
on the one hand Capt. Joiner will he
put up because he was harshy treated for
gratifying his jag talent. and on the other
DIR. Broughton is to be run because he did
not succeed in having Mayor Woodward
subjected 10 the same discipining that
Joiner received.

following is an extract from his address:
Where the gospel has not gone woman
is degraded with an infinite degradon. Her
intellect is dwarfed; the worst passions of
the soul are developed. Ia the ncn-Chrls-

There is small regard for human DelhS-
Human sacrifices are frequently offered.
In these lands sin is enthroned, deihed and

are everywhere. The people are without
hope, because they are without God. Inc
