And, furthermore, if the report is what

is but fair to add, however, that Gen.
Miles is after the var department with

afraid to say 90, while the other fellows
are ashamed of their attitude.

forcing rules for the government OF miners or

authorities to dealSwith'
The reading OF the letter caused great COM

An important meeting was held to-day at

have confidence in the United States. He said:

Brooke from Pinar del Rio that the entire
province is quiet. There has been no further
trouble at Guanajay. and there are now only
twenty American soldiers at Guines. the re-
mainder having been withdrawn. as there was
no call for their services.
Investigation into the murder OF Minnie
