HAVANA MERCHANTS FEARS.
He Says That Universal Suffrage in Cuba Would Mean Black Republic
 Statistics of Population.

Havana, Aug. "A leading Havana merchant, Cuban having business connections with most of the cities of the island and who claims to be posted regarding Cuban affairs, said yesterday that universal suffrage in Cuba would mean black republic in the near fu- ture, and that the only means of pre- venting it will be the incorporation of the island as a possession of the United States as state, territory or colony, leading to American immigration, in- termarriages, the enrichment of i'm suiar blood and the improvement of the population. In his judgment Cuba is otherwise doomed to become another Hayti. His assertions are based upon the fact that, in a population not ex- ceeding l,250. 900, with voting capaci- ty of 400, GOO, the Spaniards number only 50, 900, the white Cubans, 125, 000; those claiming to be white, %. 1000; while the blacks number 200, 900 in vot- ing strength. The theory is that more than half the Spaniards, under sys- tenn of universal suffrage, would not vote and that the number who would vote must inevitably diminish each year

ALTGELD'S FIERY WORDS.
The Noted Illinois Democrat Says the Kentucky Democrats wiiI Crash
 GoebeI to Atoms.

Chicago. Aug. 7.-Ex-Gov. Altgeld, in an interview, says: ''Goebel will be crushed to atoms. The democrats of Kentucky will not tolerate methods that override the will of the people Goebel was nominated by main strength. The south does not like that sort of thing and it will be rebulxed at the polls. Bryan cannot support Goe- bel 1t is not unlikely that he will come out positively against him. It is simply out of the question for Bryan to help Goebel crush his fricnds-the men who will send Bryan a delegation the next convention" :"

SENSATION IN THE HOUSE.

denounced the last three state ad-

that they had directed Legislation

the patronage of the fire, water
and police boards.

DEAR Folks AT HOME:

DEAR Folks AT HOME:
Thursday evening finds me in
receipt of your dear letters. l
have received number of letters
in the past two weeks. > The
boxes you sent from Colorado for
our Thanksgiving dinner did not
arrive till yesterday. We will re-
oeive them probably today. If so,
| will inform you in what condi
ton l found the box you sent.
| guess we can dc justice to the
contents of the boxes, even at this
late date. We had fine dinner
Thanksgiving day, notwithstand
ing the delay of boxes. Will give
you the bill of fare later | am
cooking for the band now. Have
been here since the 18th of No
vember, and have thirty to cook
for. | was somewhat surprised to
get this place. | receive Sl5 per
month extra, and am well pleased
with the position.
You want me to give the facts
in regard to the cablegram, and !
will do so. | have always written
letters to you in as mild form as
possible, as | did not want mother
to have any cause to worry. But
the fact is that from the time we
left San Francisco we were almost
starved. And what we did get
was not fit for a dog to eat. Two
thirds of the salt pork was rank
and not fit to eat. Now, / speak
from what | know, as | had it to
cook. and can say that more times
than one the meat had maggots in
it. Well, we did not expect to
have everything of the best while
in camp, but our officers told us
we would have change as soon
as we reached the city; that there
was plenty on board the ships,
but it could not be had. So we
did our duty in the face of all
this. OF course few complaints
were made, but the most of us
Il. . r :.
But after we arrived in Manila
and were here over three weary
long months and there was no
change. we did not complain of
the government, as we knew if we
could get what Uncle Sam allowed
us we would have plenty. All the
time our boys were taking down
with all manner of sickness. and
nothing on earth caused it but the
grub we were forced to eat. Then
we made complaints, but were told
we were receiving our full rations,
W ilSil We huGN W NdS 1dlSe. At IHSl
the regiment could endure it no
longer, and committee was
formed and the secret was not
kept from anyone. The officers
knew all and did all within their
power to keep the cablegram from
being sent. We did not send the
cablegram as matter of getting
home alone, but from che fact that
many of our boys were sick, with
little care and not half enough to
eat, and that of the poorest kind.
Can anyone blame us for COM
planning?
