THE CHANGES in CUBA.

Commissioner Porter Reports TO the
Secretary OF the Treasury.
Washington, Feb. Hon. Robert 2.
Porter arrived In Washington Sunday
night, having come directly from Ha-
yana. after his successful mission 10
General Gomez. whom he met at Rene
dos. He submitted his report to Sec
rotary Gage yesterday. Aside from
the successful outcome OF his mission
the most interesting part OF Mr. Por-
ter's report relates to his observations
as to the conditions In the Island as
they exist today.
From Havana TO st. Domingo. near
" 200 miles," says Mr. Porter your
commissioner went over the same
route as he did last September. The
difference. however, in the, condition
OF the country now and then Is very
marked. In September the whole dis
lance was one scene OF desolation.
There were literally no, signs OF Me,
human or animal. EXCEPT at the rail-
way stations, which swarmed with
starving humanity. Never was there
such abject misery seen as then. To-
day conditions are improved. There
are Sheggars, but OF the chronic sort.
a decided change for the better is
noticeable In the country itself. The
people are beginning TO work again.
The quick growing crops have been
planted and some are ready for har-
vest. For ten hours in September. trav-
cling on the same road; but one yoke
of oxen was seen. Today In some fields
large, herds of several hundred cattle
greet the eye This Is the suresti sign
that Cuba Is. pacified."

a day of excitement and alarm In Au-
gusta, due to the killing OF Dennis

about a hundred of the men MADE
plans for the capture OF the murderer.

their rifles, but going to the regimental
commissary store they, took the pack
ages and broke open the ammunition
cases. and each man took about 30
rounds of ammunition.
The news spread rapidly over the
camp, and as soon as it reached the
ears of General S. 8. Summer, the COM
mander Of the First division. he Or
dered out the Third, cavalry, Tenth
Ohio and Thirty-fifth Michigan regi-
ments. The men were deployed as
skirnishers, :, and the woods In the
vicinity. of the camp were secured.
At 1890 Troop A, under command OF
Lieutenant Hawkins. found the entire
lot, about go men. in the woods in the
rear OF the First division no 2!tal.
When they were captured theJ were
taken to First division headquarters
and put under. guard.
Brown Hadley gave himself UP to
the authorities some. distance from the
city, where he had taken refuge. He
was taken aboard the night train to
Atlanta, where he will be confined In
Fulton county Jail until his trial can
be arranged for.

Illinois, Colonel David G. Colson
Kentucky and Major. Edward E. r D.
bins OF Pennsylvania had vacated their

ing on civil commissions had thereby

excused from commenting on the de-
judicial proceeding. 1t Is said General
Wheeler and. his associates will take no
action for the present. as the finding
of the committee Ia vet to be passed
upon by the house. The fact that Mr.
Jenkins voted against unseating Cen
eral Wheeler and the others may lead
to a minority report.>.although no no.
tice OF such was given.

SCHOOL APPROPRIATION CUT.


Governor Stone Says These Appropris
ations Havs Embarrassed the State.
Harrisburg. May Is. - Governor
Stone has made public his action on
the general appropriation bill, which
provides for the ordinary expenses OF
the various branches of the state gov.
ernment, the interest on the public
debt and for the support Of the pub
lie schools for the two fiscal years be-
ginning June /, 1893. He has made
a cut Of 81, O00, 900 in the school ap-
Precipitation and reduced several other
items whereby he saves In the aggre-
gate $780, 900, which will be applied
to reducing the floating debt of the
commonwealth.
The governor has filed In the office
Of the secretary Of the commonwealth
statement giving his reasons for dis
approving certain items in the bill and
approving parts of certain other items.
He recites the history Of the steady
increase that has been made In the
school appropriation since the adoption
OF the constitution Of 1874, which re-
Quires that not less than 81 900. 900 shall
BE- appropriated annually for the sup.
port of the common schools. He shows
that in 1893, when the fund was in
creased from 100000 to $500, 900,
the additional 100000 was intended
to be used to enforce the free text
book law.
