SOLDIERS TO BLAME.
American Troopers Have Restste,
Arrest by the Police.

Arrest by the Police.
New York, April IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says:
Now that the Cuban army is on the point
of melting away and the political agitations
OF which the military assembly at Cerro
was so long the center have been effective
ly quieted. little remains to check rapidly
growing sense of public tranquility through
the island.
In the last ten days much has been made
of certain clashes between the police and
the American soldiery here in Havana
and OF various reported outbreaks OF
brigandage in the provinces, but these
disturbances are purely of minor and ac-
cideutal Importance.
TWO American soldiers have been killed
in the rioting which has taken place in
Vedado and other suburbs where United
States troops are quartered. 1t has uni
formly been found, however, that in cases
where American soldiers have come in con-
tict with the police the soldiers have been
clearly TO blame There have been hum
dreds of instances in Havana in which
drunken soldiers have resisted arrest and
committed ali sorts of otfenses against the
municipal law and such conduct has been
aggravated by the common feeling among
the troops that the local guardians of the
peace had not the courage TO use their arms
against offenders In American uniforms.
Such occurrences as those of the last few
days may have salutary effect in restoring
the status Of the policeman as a guardian
OF public order.
AS to the recent alleged appearances of
brigands in this province the military au-
thorities remain more or less skephtical.
In Tncir opinion brisandage around such a
populous country as surrounds Havana is
impossible.
In Santiago province, the home of pro-
fessional bandtti for generations, the wild
and inaccessible character of the back
country lends itself to all forms Of law
lessness.

nIssIsslpprs BOARD OF HEALTH,

| LII we were q pnTenOioglSC VIZ
would diagonize that set of Mis-
sissippi State Board of Health
resolutions, remarkable for theil
superfuity aud imbecility, as 6
huge bump of conceit-the pure
unadulterated, unmitigated arti.
Gle. Only this and nothing more
But editorially, duty devolves it up
on the newspaper to dwell in the
light of wherefore and whereof
we would speak, and even if 1t be
in a mere Echo measure, leaving
the sound to vibrate where 1t will.
For conceit and audacity the
aforesaid set of resolutions. ap-
pearing in another column of this
issue, supercede all attempts at
the ridiculous. The whole and
substance of these particular
"Whereas" and "Therefores" are
of body only in the one sense that
the Board of Health of the State of
Mississippi and representatives of
that board only creates the right
unquestionable and without re-
striction to visit New Or
leans-the supposed Mecca of
yellow fever germs-at will. and
when in doubt to investigate the
ludicrous assumption found in
the term of suspicious cases,
or in any other event, and if said
representative or representatives
of the Mississippi body stamps
a case of delirium tremens or any
trifing and yet battling malady
"yellow fever" the world at large
must without benefit of appeal,
or even doubt, waive all rights of
reason and bow submisslvely TO
the stamp and suffer the paralyt-
ic influence that inevitably fol-
lows such declaration.
Our Mississippi State Board of
Health, regardless of the practi.
cability or conventionality, with
out inviting third party in the
planned deliberations, is too self
resplendant in the gold of its own
opinion and would usurp all other
authority, if only by mere cour-
tesy due, consideration to further
the crowning of it's own inten-
tions. This act is too self-assum-
ing, bold and obtrusive, and
cannot but nauseate reason, fair
ness and common sense, and dis
gust the world of decency at large.
The Mississippi Board of Health
is but human after all, and when
it would have the States crystal
lze in one opinion with its own
anenti its infallability in the absence
of an outside party, more so since
of late years opinions have so
widely differed in the premises,
we say abide not! Not revolu-
ton, but let us protect our homes
and families from medico mon
keys and parrots.

THE STEAMER COLUMBIA
Ashore Between Little Woods and
Milneburg, La. Injury TO Vessel
and Cargo Only Slight. Crew Safe.

Special to The Sea Coast Echo.l
Pearlington, Mss, Feb. 10
The steamer Dial returned from
Little Woods Wednesday night,
where, las we have stated elsewhere,
she had been to ascertain the
amount of damage, and if neces-
sary give relief to the steamer Co
lumbia, who was blown ashore
during the gale of Tuesday.
The Dial leaves again this
morning with the barge Pearl in
tow for the scene of the accident.
The Columbia's cargo, which is
mainly 500 bales of cotton, will be
transferred to the barge, after
which with the help of the Dial
and her own steam, she can be
foated with comparative ease.
The Dial will then take the barge
to New Orleans, unless 1t is found
that the Columbia is not too
badly strained to make the trip,
in that case she will immediately y
begin reloading.
The cotton being we'll protect
ed by good tarpaulins was not
damaged to any great extent. The
injury to the steamer is slight.
She possibly may have to be re-
caulked, nothing more. None of
her crew were hurt in any way,
although many of them were
badly frightened.

AS to the picture, you will re-

you either wrote it in person or

some rare and radiant rainbow,

Now, Anse, do you think that

the shades of Davis and Lamar,
of George and Walthall, would
cast off their cerements to scourge
you from the national capitol,
while their reproachful eyes
would. for the first time, looked
with mingled feelings of shame
and regret on their beloved peo-
pie that they had strayed so far
from the paths of honor and rec
titude as to thus disgrace their
noble state.
Governor McLaurin you will
never be returned to the senate,
but you need not fear that your
name will be forgotten. 1t will
remain as the red cut of a lash
across the fair face of Mississippi,
and there is only one other to
bear it company-that of Adel-
bert Ames.

Ames, the Alien,

These two names will be linked
