Wilson DISCUSSES CUBA
The Military Governor of Matanzas
Before the Red Cross Society.
DepIorabIe Condition of the Ever
Faithful Isle at the Conclusion of
severance Hnstcns Recover, From
the Effects of the Conflict.

| Gen. James II. Wilson. Military Governor
of the provinces Of Matsnzss and Santa
| Clara, Cuba, delivered an address yester-
| day morning to the members and friends
/ of the American Auxiliary OF the Cuban
| Provisional Red Cross Society of this city.
The parlors OF the Ebbitt Hotel were well
filled with representative women who are
/ taking an active part and interest in this
charitable work. and who paid the closest
attention to the plain. exhaustive. and au-
thentic statement of General Wilson, which
was in part as follows:
when we arrived in Cuba that country
was devastated and desolated from one end
to the other; the people were starving.
farm houses we're destroyed. cattle, horses,
and poultry had been killed and devoured
by Cubans aud Spaniards alike. No such
destruction and wanton devastation has
ever swept over any land in ancient or
modern times. The rich and influential of
the island. who had money enough TO bride
the Spaniards and Cubans were enabled to
save some OF their holdings and other prop
erty They barricaded their places, which
were in return guarded by either Spaniard
or Cuban.
THE provinces Of Santa Clara and Ma
tanzas are cattle raising districts, AID their
inhabitants depend entirely upon this in
dustry for their support. Matanzas province
originally contained about 100000 head OF
cattle and Santa Clara $50. 600. There are
today in MatanZas province $4,000 head OF
cattle and in the province OF santa cara
about 60. 900 head. Nearly all the cattle
had been killed when we arrived in the ISL
and and there was starvation ana uutoiu
suffering among all classes OF people
THE streets OF Matanzas were crowded
with those diving from starvation. During
the four years OF the rebellion one-fourth
of the population of MatauZas, and one |
ss-cnth of that of Santa Clara. had died oil
starvation Had assistance from your So /
ciety been delayed Tor ten months. nearly |
the whole population of Cuba would have /
died OF starvation. The United states !
Government has not been able to furnish |
cattle but the people with their wonder /
full activity, have persevered and succeed |
ed and thus driven away starvation.
Concerning the Cubans themselves, /
they are just as intelligent. industrious, |
and benevolent as you are. Their men
are good. and many OF them died OF starva-
ton during the revolution In order 10 save
their women and children. The redcmp-
tinn of their land has begun and the work
is being pushed with giant strides. Do
not delude yourself that Cuba is a country
of ssyages. The people are es good rs any.

of Cuba, prescribed by law. is equal 20

Missionary societies here are much con-
cerned about their future operations in
China. Through the influence Of France
the Roman Catholic missionaries secured
special position and official protection
which Protestants claim are used as for
midable proselytizing engines for Roman
Catholicism. The British Government Is
lethargic, and missionary feeling here
seems TO favor a demand by members OF
the Protestant Churches for their rights as
ordinary citizens. IL Is argued that this
policy would pay ten-fold in a country like
China. in the good will and favor OF the
officials as well as Of the non-Christian
Chinese Meanwhile, In many districts the
Chinese Government has issued orders that
in respect of privilege of audience and in
all other respects Protestant and Roman

notation that he found it impossible to
serve it. He was furnished with another

scheme of Imperial Federation.

LONDON. Jan 1S.-The Delagoa Bay
situation has been cleared considerably
this week. The government and the press
here note with relief the quieting influence
upon German and American opinion Of
Lord Salisbury's decision only to regard
provisions plainly intended for the enemy
as contraband OF war. Then, again, the
high British officials mission 10 Lisbon,
announced in these dispatches last week,
seems TO have stirred up the Portuguese
Government to refuse to allow recruits to
pass through Laurence Marques for the
Trsnsvaal.

gal to take other steps against the mis-
use of Delaeoa Bay in the interests Of the

notorious accessibility of the Delagoa Bay

is the only tropical country in the world
where the white man is in the majority.
The proportion Of whites to blacks in the
Islands is two to one, and the white people
of Cuba have maintained their social eff

tries loses his influence. intelligence, and
