VOLUNTEERS WILL PROTEST.
Angry at War Departments Cen
sure Of General Breckinridge.

LEXINGTON CKy.), Jan. ia letter
has been written by an ex-member of
the Fifth Wisconsin Volunteer Infan-
try, who resides in this city, in which
he calls on all the volunteers who were
encamped at Chickamauga to protest
against the action of the War Depart
ment in its recent orders to Gen
eraI Joseph C. Breckenridge, Inspector
General of the United States army.
The letter states that when General
Breckenridge assumed command at
Chickamauga the conditions existing
there improved to marked degree, and
urges the volunteers TO do what they
can for him by concerted action and
influence upon the Congressman from
their respective districts.
The letter is very able one. It is
written by the Kentucky political rep
resentative of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune, Paul Shouze. Copies of
it are to be printed by the thousands
and sent to volunteers all over the
country.
hTe orders referred to in the letter
were those of the War Department to
General Breckenridge to go on a tour
of inspection, along with other action
of the War Department, all Of which
he considers humiliating and tending to
make him resign from the army.

spondent to expose the cruelty and in
capacity of General Weyler and made
himself heartily disliked by that officer,
hut remained in Cuba and kept the
English public informed of the true
state of things. He praises highly the
conduct of the American regiments
during the Cuban campaign. He says
the Cubans are in the main peaceable,
and there is no danger of conflict be-
tween them over American authority.
provided the latter show the necessary
tact. The Cuban Generals have been
busilv engaged in disbanding their
forces and are aiding in the work Of
reconstruction in perfect good fa1th
He sees no reason why the Cubans
should not form a government of their
own. but, of course, they would always
be more or less under the protection or
the United States. He denied that there
was the slightest truth in the pretend
ed revelation from Havana regarding
the blowing up of the Maine.
Mr.. Akers says that by the END or
January there will be from $50 to 2OO
central sugar factories in operation in
Cuba 1t is estimated that the sugar
crop should be from 700 600 to SOO,OOO
tons, as preparations are already be-

General Deadlock, Due to the Sena-
torial Contest fs.

CHARLESTON CIV. Va.), Jan. 10
The Legislature has been in session
four days the past week without doing
anything. This general deadlock is
due to the Senatorial contest, and it
will continue all this week. The Dem
ocrats hold their Senatorial caucus on
Wednesday night, and the Republicans
on Thursday night, but the balloting
in joint session does not begin till jan
uary 23d. On the certificates of cleo
tion the Republicans have bare ma
jority on joint ballot for Senator. The
Senate is Republican and the House
Democrat, so that in unseating minor
ity members in either body both par
ties have opportunities for retaliation,
and this condition is what prevents
both sides from proceeding with the
business.
On the Republican side the candi-
dates are: Revenue Commissioner N.
b. Scott, Governor G.. W. Atkinson,
Caldwell, Hoffenberger, Floyd, Gaines
and Hughes, With A atkinson in the lead.
Ex- Congressman McGraw is having
things very much hfskown way on the
Democratic side for Senator Faulkner s
place.
The dark horse that is regarded as
the most formidable is Judge Nathan
Golf, who is not candidate, but whose
friends regard him as the final solution
OF the pending complication.

returning to their own country, or were
employees who under the Spanish law
had become entitled to retiring pen
sion. Had this class remained in the
service their pensions would have been
jeopardized. Others left for reasons
Colonel Bliss is carefully readjusting
his force, placing Americans on guard
where a general supervision over the
whole force is necessary.
Colonel Bliss says that in his opinion
the customs service of the island should
not only have been an object lesson, but
a school Of instruction for the natives.
1t can, he says, be made an object les
son by having no one except Americans
in the service. But it can be made a
school for instruction only by having
the natives for the great mass of en-
ployes, with only enough Americans to
see that their work is faithfully and
honestly done. Colonel Bliss announces
that in addition to the weekly repTyis
required from Such collections by the
Executive, he proposes to institute a
system Of daily reports showing all
money received. He thinks he can keep
the War Department daily informed
as to the revenues Of the island at a
trifling expense.
Colonel Bliss found on hand when he
took possession of the customs house
at Havana only $1,000. resulting from
special tax which was laid upon load
ing and unloading vessels under the
Spanish reign. His collections of the
first day amounted in cash to 81, 800. q.
The second day they rose to Sc, ,920. 50.

Judge Tarvey states that he expects

reason to believe that Senator Quay

CIENFUEGOS, Jan. 15.-The entire

to arrive at an early date. 1t is i'm
probable however, that the evacuation
will be completed much before the mid

who are thickly quartered in the ware
houses and along the wharves, swarm
through the city day and night. Their
officers crowd the hotels. The soldiers
are poorly fed and have had no pay for
months. They are quiet enough. but
their presence makes impossible

Cuban soldiers garrison the country

behavior of the Cuban troops in gar
rison capacity is highly commended.
They observe discipline and maintain
perfect order.
The Cuban Mayors and civil admin
istrators in the interior towns of the
