AN ENGLISH MESSENGER BOY
Sent to This Country on u Race wit
tal

Sent to This Country on u Race With
the Postal Union.
LONDON, March ia boy messenger
saileG3 from Southampton today on
board the American line steamer St.
Louis bearing letters for parties in
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago,
where he will await answers and return
Immediately. The messenger goes for
an American gentleman here, the idea
being to beat the Postal Union by some
hours.
New York, March 1.-THE sending
Of messenger boys abroad is rare oc-
currence," said the manager of the New
York District Telegraph service in this
city. "About 10 years ago one of the
Frohmans sent a messenger boy to Lon
don to announce the success of Ed
ward Sothern, who was then acting here
in one of his fathers plays. OF course,
he was sent solely as an advertisement.
He carried programs of the play and
delivered them to the Prince of Wales,
Mrs. Potter and other prominent per-
sons, thereby rendering the piece very
well known.
"The other instance happened only
last fall, when boy was sent to Aiken,
s. c., a distance of about 500 miles.
The visitors there were engaged in pri-
vate thcatrirals, and one gentleman who
had his costumes all packed ready to
start from New York found at the last
moment that he could not go, so he sent
messenger to carry his outfit and pre-
sent his apologies. Those are the only
cases I've heard Of in about 90 years.
The person sending this boy on the st.
Louis pays all his expenses, first class.

GEN. HENRY NEEDS MORE TROOPS.
He Declares the Conditions in Porto

He Declares the Conditions In Porto
Rico Are Alarming.
Chicago, March 1.-THE Tribune
prints the following special correspond
ence from Tribune staff correspondent
at San Juan de Porto Rico:
The real situation in Porto Rico Is
not understood. People in the states
generally regard Porto Rico as sort
of haven Of peace. The war depart
nnent has just requested of General
Henry to Immediately report how many
regular troops he could spare from the
island. General Henry is in dilemma.
He has only three regiments of troops
and two batteries of heavy artillery.
II need twice the troops have" said
the general, at his residence in San
Juan. Because of the easy victory Of
our troops here In the war and the APP
parent friendliness of the natives to the
American soldiers when they invaded
the island, a notion prevails in the
states that there is little necessity for a
strong force to maintain order in the
island. The idea Is erroneous.
THE conditions here are alarming.
These people have been given every OPP
portupity, but they have thrown them
aside. They arc clamoring now for local
self government They are no moro fit
for self government than | am to run a
locomotive. More troops are needed in
the island. The seeds of discomfort
planted by professional lgitators are
rapidly growing, and can be kept down
only by strong military force.
"The Ill feeling between the natives
and the American troops seems to grow
stronger every day. The American Of
fcers have to maintain the greatest Wig
ilance to prevent their men from wreak-
ing vengeance on the natives, and es-
pecially on the native police, for acts
of violence that are continually commit
ted against the troops"

lHE CUBAN ARMY ROLLS.

Satisfaction.

A Committee Called on Him For an
Explanation Of His Agreement With
General Brooke, But Received No
Satisfaction.
Havana, March 1.-THE only OBJ
stacle now in the way of paying off the
rolls, q work which is being hastened
by Inspector General Roloff. He says
that in some cases the rosters Of the
commands must be created, as the old
rosters are either missing or too de-
fective to be useful. He points out that
the insurgents often have no paper, pens
or ink.
General Gomez explains that 5000
commissioned officers and 10000 non.
commissioned officers are relatively large
numbers in an army of $1,000 privates,
but that these officers, in many cases,
received their appointments because the
Cubans have had no other way Of recog-
nizing bravery and stimulating cnthus-
asm. 1T may SEEM" he says, "a
cheap sort of promotion, but it meant
a good deal to the Cubans." General
Gomez continues to produce an excellent
impression upon the American military
authorities.
The stories printed here, and else
where to the effect that Governor Cen
eral Brooke intends to request the Gu
ban military assembly to discontinue its
meetings are of1cially denied. Another
secret session, though II is said there
was no quorum, was held yesterday.
Yesterday the committee appointed on
Thursday by the assembly called upon
General Gomez to ask an explanation of
his conduct and definition of the I'M
Outstanding reached between him and
General Brooke, which the committee
declared had prevented a successful is
sue Of the assembly's financial project.
General Gomez declined to comply with
the request.
Whether General Brooke's message
declaring that the United States will
not recognize any financial obligation
entered into by any persons claiming to
represent the people of Cuba, without
the presidents authorization, was de-
livered to the assembly has not yet de-
veloped, but it appears that the MEM
bers of the assembly fear that this mes
sage will be followed by others Of
more stringent nature.
A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba
says: The results of the policy in
augurated at Havana of disseminating
public works in this province and throw
ing men out of employment are begin
ming to show. On Thursday six bandits
were captured in the neighborhood Of
Conception, all of whom were formerly
workers in the road gangs. They say
they have no money, and must either
rob or starve. They have been lodged in
the city Jail. but considerable sympathy
is displayed in their behalf by the popu-
lace.
Much the same sort of thing is hap
pening in the district of Holguin, where
brush between bandits and gendarmes
resulted in the killing of one of the
former. Nevertheless, it is not expected
that these troubles will take serious
turn, owing to the probability that work
will be resumed early next week.

DEWEY IN ADMIRAL'S UNIFORM
tcrcst to record the belief of many naval
officers that after all the end is almost
within sight. Dewey has established
himself at Manila, he has assisted in
the taking of llOilo. he has sent forces
to Cebu in connection with the army,
and also to Negroes. and the principal
ports of the Philippines have all been
taken over into American possession in
large Part through his cooperation with
the army. There remain only few
ports of Importance, notably Iamboango,
on Mindano, and perhaps one of the
town. in the Sulu archipelago. to BE- oc-
cupicd Expeditions are now moving in
these directions, and that branch OF the
work soon will be closed up.
There will remain only two more
phases of the campaign to require Dew
cyl assistance. First, and near at hand,
is the driving off of the Talalos under
Aguinaldo, near Manila. With Lawton
landing yesterday at Manila with his
reinforeamerts and the other reinforce
ments expected soon, General Otis
movement in force is near at hand. The
navy Will ulu III lhiS. ShlHs van uG
placed in proper positions on the shores
of the Bay of Manila to command the
country for miles, and by cooperation
with the army through the agency of
the signal corps the insurgents can be
shcllcd out of the jungles many miles
inland by the warships.
The next and last feature of Dcwey's
task will be the establishment of a close
blockade to prevent munitions Of war
or supplies from reaching the insurgents,
providing there are any insurgents re-
naming after Otis and Lawton have
made their forward move. When this
has been done, when there is nothing
further in the way of fighting for the
warships to do. it is believed that then
Dewey's task probably will be regarded
as finished by himself, and it will be
tine for the navy department to con
slider the question of successor to the
command Of tha static station

The Admiral Has Not Asked For Re-

But As His Work Is Nearly Finished
This May Soon Follow.
Washington, March 1.-THE state.
ment can be repeated on the authority
of the detail Office of the navy depart
ment that Admiral Dewey will not be
relieved at Manila until he chooses to
make application for such relief. So far
he has not given any intention Of a
purpose to apply for relief in the i'm.
mediate future, and from the few dec.
larations be has let fall the department
has every reason to believe that he does
not contemplate any such action. Con-
sequcntly there is no foundation for the
story that Admiral Schley or any other
admiral has been selected to take COM
mand Of the Asiatic station. So far
as the navy department is concerned
the directing officials are not only will
ing, but anxious that Dewey shall COM
plete his task, and they deprecate the
circulation Of such stories as those al
lcging that he is to be relieved, for the
reason that by constant reiteration the
impression might be conveyed to the
admiral that the department would like
to relieve him. In the case of man
of Dewey's punctilious feeling the mere
suggestion, il he had the slightest reason
to believe it had an official foundation,
would be sufficient to induce him to
apply Immediately for relief rather than
to embarrass the department.
As Dewey himself fixed the limitation
of his stay by the length Of the task
before him. it may be matter of in
