CUBA'S NEEDS
Lee Recommends Independence with .
PrOtectorate.

PrOtectOrate.
Chicago. Sept. "A special tr the
Times Herald from Washington eays:
General Fitzhugh Lee has made an
elaborate report on prevailing condi-
tions in the territory in Cuba under
his jurisdiction, and takes strong
ground for an independent Cuban gov
eminent under an American protectors
ate. The war department in March
directed the commanders of depart
ments in Cuba to make a report on the
conditions in their several sections.
and to accompany it with recommen-
dations as to the treatment of the ma
tives. General Lee is the only COM
mander who has SO far responded.
General Lee begins his report by
stating conditions in Havana and Pinar
del Rio provinces are making rapid
progress toward a state Of peace, good
order and prosperity. He goes into
this in great detail, taking up the SUBJ
eral improvement throughout the west
ern end Of the island. His report in
this res pect is very gratifying, indicat-
ing as it does that there is not so much
suffering from want Of food as is often
asserted in unofficial reports.
Turning to recommendations, Gem
eral Lee urges the taking of self-gov-
next steps should be the careful con-
sideration of the question OF suffrages
for the Cubans. He takes it for grant
ed that there will be elections by the
natives, and he points out the import
ance of wise action in determining the
qualifications of voters.
He recommends an independent re-
publican government, with president,
vice-pIesident and congress. He would
have this established soon. and ad-
vises the holding of general election
for the selection of those officers. He
says nothing about a constitution, leav-
ing it to be inferred that he either over
looked that steL or would have it left
to the Cuban congress to provide after
its installation in Office.
General Lee evidently foresees that
while the United States might provide
Cuba with model system of govern
ment, the natives would be likely to
spoil it in the administration, and ne
has submitted suggestions for keeping
the government machinery running
along lines that commend themselves
to the American mind.
Even after relieving the Cubans in
part of American protection, he would
have United States troops maintained
in the island to protect Americans and
other aliens in the enjoyment of their
personal and property rights.

Manila, Sept. 5.-Many Spanish
prisoners are escaping from the Fill
pinos and bringing into the American
lines stories OF hard treatment. They
agree that the Filipinos are exceedingly
short of rations, and that a large Sec
ton of their troops is reduced to the
use of homemade black powder. The
natives are trying every scheme to get
food and munitions from Manila.
Daily arrests are made for attempts to
smuggle contraband of war through the
American lines. In one case a cascoe
with a cargo Of bamboo poles was over.
hauled and the poles were found full
of rice.
The insurgents have a wholesome
respect for the British on account of
several threats of British walships TO
bonn hard their towns unless the rights
of British subjects are respected.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept 4.-Fire
broke ont at ! O'Clock this morning in
the big plant of the Jacob Dold Pack
ing Company, which covers several
acres of ground on the west river bot
toms between Ninth street and the
Missouri river. The fire started in the
fertilizing department, burned through
the engine room and was burning fierce.
~ before any fire apparatus arrived.
The water pressure in the vicinity of
the fire was very low, and the firemen
were handicapped in their work. The
fertilizing department, the engine
room, the ice plant, the sausage de.
partment and the lard room were de-
stroyed, with much costly machinery.
and other parts OF the plant were more
or less damaged.

Dreyfus Gave Way to His
Feelings and Wept.
TRYING DAY FOR THE PRISONER
His Attempted suicide In Cherchs Pris-
on Recountsd-Aileged Confession to
Lebrun- Renault.

Rennes, Sept. 2.-Dreyfus had the
most trying day he has yet gone
through. The strain proved too great
for him and for the second time in the
course of the trail he gave way to his
feelings and sought relief 10 tears.
The generals have branded him as
traitor before the court, their subord-
mates have pointed the finger of scorn
at him. But he only once flinched-
when the official report of his treat
ment on DEVILS island was read before
him and the pictures Of his sufferings,
mental and physical. was thrown vivid
ly on the screen of his memory. Then
he hid his features and wept.
He passed through another such
crisis today, when. after Captain Le-
brun- Renault and witness after witness
had brought before him that cold JAM
uary morning which ushered in the
scene of his degradation. Major For
senetti, man of heart, told in simple
words and unaffected manner the story
of Dreyfus' struggle with the madden
ing temptation to take his life and the
Intervention of his wife, as an angel.

again the prisoners breast heaved
with emotion and tear drops trickled
down his cheeks. He rose, and after
a forced effort to remain calm as he
spoke few words concerning his denial
to Colonel Patty de Clam that he wrote
the bOrdereau, he turned to Forsenetti.

cluded few minutes later and he was
taken back to his prison, where his
wife visited him. and in the presence

tension had been too much for him.
He sobbed convulsively and the partner

IT is not the man that has the least
to do that makes the best official in a
position of honor. 1t is the man who
can see the situation. grasp it and act.
If Mayor Magoffin had been able
to do this he would have saved the city
thousands of dollars. The flood ques-
ton, the small pox question, and the
electric light question, with man Of
ability would have been acted upon
promptly and thousands of dollars
saved to the tax payers. When these
questions arose the present mayor had
to try his luck on the roulette wheel
before he could determine which way
to act. TIE result was that while he
WAS trying to determine his luck the

Another Epiqrdm.

ALI wars produce great epigrams
which live in history, such as Gen.
Grants two famous remarks, "No
terms are offered except unconditional
surrender propose to move imme-
diately upon your works. and, "We
will fight it out on this line if it takes
all summerr' And then, there was
Napoleon's exclamation to his soldiers
tn at the centuries were looking down
upon them from the Pyramids under
which they fought, and the last gasp of
the imperial soldier at Waterloo, "The
old guard dies, it never'surrenders!'
The greatest expression OF the late
war with Spain was, "I'm not hero,
I'm q REGULAR" and now Col. Funston,
of the Goth Kansas, has contribut an
immortal utterance in behalf of the
volunteers. 1t is the finest phrase of
the war. The goth had pressed on to
Csloocan, 1000 yards ahead of the line.
"How long can you hold your posi-
tion?'' was the message of Gen. Mac
Arthur. What could be more splendid
than Col. Funston's reply, until my
regiment is mustered out?"-Kansas

Number of Soldiers Enrolled.

In answer to query on the part of
Colonel w. F. Cloud, of Kansas City,
q we'll known veteran of both the Mex
lean aud civil wars, as to the number
of soldiers enrolled in the Revolution
ary war, and also in that of 1872, the
war department has given the follow
ing interesting information: A report
of the secretary of war to the house of
representatives, dated May 10, 1870,
shows that the number of troops and
militia furnished by the several states
from time TO time during the Revolu-
tiOn was 395 $50. It Ia certain, however
that these figures do not represent the
total number of individuals added to
the force il any year, or the total num-
Der of individuals in service in any year
because there must have been many
Implications caused by counting the
same man over again for each success
sive enlistment. It is we'll
known that q very large proportion of
the men who served Turing the revolu-
ton rendered two. three or more terms,
or "tours'' of service. This was nota-
bly, the case in militia organizations, in
which men frequently served tours"
of few days at comparatively short
intervals. It will never be possible to
determine with any approximation to
accuracy the number OF individuals
who actually rendered military service
during the war of the revolution.
From reports to the third auditor of
the treasury department dated Deem
Der II, 1886, and February %, 1858, it
appears that the total number of regu-
lars, militia, volunteers and rangers
who served the United States at any
time during the war of 1872 was 52S, PA
It Is evident that this number repre-
sents enlistments and not the actual
number of individuals in service. 1t is
known that a very large proportion OF
the men who served during the war of
1872 rendered more than one term or
"tour of service.
