penses In the Island and Have Had Rea-
sonable Allowances Made Them.
HAVANA, Aug. 5.-Considerable COM
ment is caused here by the publishing of
a dispatch from the United States en-
bodying the charge, made by leading
New York and Chicago newspapers,
that Governor General Brooke, Briga-
der General Ludlow, military governor
of Havana; Collector Bliss and Major
Davis, sanitary officer at Havana, have
been receiving extra allowances out of
the Cuban revenues to maintain them
selves in luxury. The feeling among
Americans in Havana is that this charge
Is based upon misapprehension and
the suggestion of luxurious living per-
plexes the Cubans, who contrast the
democratic way in which Generals
Brooke and Ludlow conduct their estab-
lishments with the prodigal habits of
the Spanish regime.
AS to the charge General Brooke has
expended money in repairing the palace
the Americans reply that this old and
historic structure had either to be re-
paired and renovated or to be pulled
down, and consequently about 800, 600
has been expended on it. But, instead
of being as heretofore the private resi-
dence of the governor general, the pal
ace Is now network of public offices.
General Brooke's private quarters are
unequal to what would be allowed him
at any station in the United States.
Aside from the special reception room
his apartments are only modestly fur
nished.
The same may be said Of General
Ludlow, who has only few rooms, and
is literally surrounded with offices.
General Lee lives in house which he
rents, General Wood lives most demo.
cratically. As to Major Davis, army
officers Of his rank who hold high ad-
ministrative offices are put to many ex-
penses, especially in this most expen-
sive country, and the opinion is gener-
ally expressed that it is only fair to make
them reasonable allowance to cover
what is reasonable.
The charges were that the American
army officers in Havana were living in
luxury at the expense Of the Cuban peo-
pie, some Of them drawing double pay.
Aside from this extra compensation, it
was charged that General Brooke had
been extravagant with Cuban funds,
having spent tlOO,O in repairing the
palace he occupies. It was also said he
had expended "a, 200 for the purchase
OF harness. General Brooke and the
other officers represented they could not
maintain the dignity Of their Office
with their regular pay. General Alger
then authorized the expenditure Of $l8,-
600 for this purpose.

Governor Shaw Thinks 1owa's Soldiers

Dies MONIES, Aug. &c Governor Shaw
has received q letter from Edward Ros-
enberg, secretary of the San Francisco
labor council, requesting the governor g
assistance to prevent the mastering out
Of the Fifty first Iowa volunteers in
San Francisco. In the letter the labor
leader referred to the fact that "boys
will be boys, and that San Francisco
had many evil attractions, the result of
which will be to cause them to remain
In Frisco and to flood the labor market.
Governor Shaw mailed spirited reply,
and among other things he stated in
the letter soldiers will not be soldier
tramps," nor will they attempt to "beat
the trains" nor will they ''be put off on
mountains or in deserts and there mis-
erably perish" But, on the contrary,
they would return self-respectful, self
respected citizen soldiers.

THE LATEST DEWEY STORY
The Admiral Said to Have Been Asked to
Explain hy Austria

LONDON, Aug. 5.-A Berlin oorre-
spondent Of the Standard says it is re-
ported that Admiral Dewey left Trieste
earlier than he originally intended and
mainly because he did not meet with
such good reception as he had ex-
pected. The Kolnische Zeitung thinks
that Austria relations with Spain and
the Hazelton incident may have con-
tributed to this.
PARIS, Aug. 5.-The Hbre Parole says
that the Austrian government asked
Admiral Dewey to explain the statement
said to have been made by. him that the
next war of the United States would be
with Germany and that the United
States would be supported by England
To this request, the ibre Parole says,
Admiral Dewey replied that he would
deny nothing he had said, and there
upon advanced the date Of his departure
from Trieste.

the present state of public feeling in the

it would not be entirely safe for the
governor general and himself to visit
Chicago, as he feared that they might
in great gathering be subjected to
some unpleasantness or indignity by

RACE TROUBLE IN GEORGIA.
The Governor Asked to Send Troops
to Darien.

ATLANTA (Ga.), Aug. 25. = There is
a renewal of the race trouble at Darien,
Ca, and Governor Gambler has again
been asked to send troops there to pre-
vent an outbreak.
A few days ago Henry Dalegat was
arrested at Darien on a charge of as
sault, and lynching was prevented only
by the action of the Governor in send
ing 200 members of the First Regiment,
who brought the prisoner to Atlanta,
and left a detachment on guard at Da-
rien. To-day Joseph Townsend was
killed and Octavus Hopkins was
wounded by John Dalegat, whom they
were trying to arrest. Sheriff t. B.
Blount of Macintosh County wired
Governor Gambler to-day urging that
more troops be sent to Darien, as the
situation is critical Governor Gambler
has ordered the Liberty Independent
troop to be in readiness to move.

The specialist then pointed out how
he found the same peculiarities Of
Dreyfus' handwriting in the letters of
other members of his family, and pro-
ceeded to give long and perfectly un-
Ineligible exposition, designed to dem
onstrate that this proved the guilt of
the prisoner.
The audience, quite in the dark re-
garding the meaning of the technicali-
ties, punctuated the queer expressions
of the anthropometer with peals of
laughter. The members of the court
martial evidently tried hard to under
stand, while Dreyfus appeared fatigued,
but endeavored to follow the argu-
mentS.

when M Bertillon announced that he
would give a practical demonstration
of how the bordereau was fabricated

seated at a table, began to copy the

MYSTIC (Conn.), Aug. 25.-Fully

j. II. Earl of Boston, Mrs. Comegys of
Philadelphia and Mrs. Hanna White of
Lebanon. At this afternoons session
the principal address was by William
Lloyd Garrison of Philadelphia. who
took for his theme mo Compromise
With War"
Mr.. Garrison spoke in part as fol-
lows: "A year ago. when in the interest
of peace we met upon this spot the war
with Spain was in full blast. Then
in the national eye a Spaniard was the
type of treachery and oppression, and
the sorrows of the suffering Cubans
filled our hearts.
What space twelve months covers
The Spaniard is no longer a monster,
but respected as a brave and gallant
foe. The Cubans, then patriots and
statesmen, now, in the opinion of mii-
itary experts and politicians. are people
incapable of governing themselves.
"A war with the device of freedom
and chivalry on its banners has devel-
oped into a conflict for conquest and
baseness.
AT The Hague the conclave of the
great powers was each eagerly engaged
in plundering schemes of it's own. Is

grass failed 2 If is not the armed saw
agery of the Philippines that threatens

the needlessness and iniquity of the

claration of Congress and avowed his
purpose of resigning his high office
rather than to prostitute it by subser-
vience to wrong, he would have made
