THE ISLE OF PINES.
Cuba Objects to Letting America
Have 1t.

HAVANA, Nov. 2S.-With reference
to the suggestion that the United
States will claim the Isle OF Pines, the
Discussion says: 1t is either canard
or a feeler. If the latter, then 1t is
unworthy of the United States. To
attempt such rapacious robbery
would be brutal aggression. If Cuba
is to be free, so ought the Isle of Pines
to be. Cuba should be regarded as a
whole. The Isle OF Pines has always
been considered part of Cuba and
has been under the government of the
province Of Havana. The people there
were allowed to vote at the election,
and the Spaniards there had the privi-
lege of inscribing in connection with
the declaration OF nationality.

OUR ATTITUDE
TOWARD CHINESE
United States Will Not Take
Part in Punitive Ex-
petitions.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA special to
the Herald from Washington says: No
opposition will be made by this Gov
eminent against punitive expeditions
in China Of other nations.
This decision was reached at the
meeting of the Cabinet when Secretary
Hay brought forward a dispatch re-
ceived through WI Ting Fang, from
the viceroys of Southern China, ap-
pealing to this Government to use its
influence to prevent the despatch of
a punitive expedition to the province
of Shan-si. The authorities will not
permit American troops to attack
peaceful Chinese, and it is believed
that the attitude of this Government
will have a good effect upon Europe.
Secretary Hay received word that in
compliance with the instructions sent
him on Tuesday, Minister Conger has
begun negotiations to secure moditica-
ton of the demands upon China
adopted by the foreign diplomats.
FRANCE AND CHRISTIANS.
PARIS, Dec 1.-At a meeting of the

Canton, district of Shun TAX, and es-
corted by French artillery and Chinese
troops Official notices, he added, had
been posted in the villages, requesting
the populations not to disturb the
Christians, and announcing penalties
for further outrages. The Chinese au-
thorities have been notified that they
will be dismissed and their goods con-
fiscated in case of renewed trouble.
The Chinese who are known to have
been guilty Of murder will be execut
ed in the presence of the French
troops.

War Office closed without reporting the occu-
patton Of either Vrede or Bethlehem. and there
were no trustworthy explanations OF the rea-
sons which had Influenced De Wet in releasing
all prisoners under his charge. The failure of
his attack upon the Ficksburg garrison is con-
hrned by press dispatches, and General Brabant
is reported to have occupied one Of his strong
holds, Doornberg, between Senekal and Win
burg Reports of recent operations have been
so confused that it is not possible to define with
precision the British positions and approaches
to Bethlehem. A failure of supplies was the
probable reason for the delivery Of British pris-
oners but now that De Wet is relieved from the
necessity for guarding them he will have in
creased mobility for eluding pursuit and plan
ming counter strokes. Rading may be con-
tinued- De Wet will no longer have any motive
for taking prisoners. since he will not know
"hat to do with them. Probably the COM
mandoes will divide and subdivide for guerilla
warfare, and slowly break up when driven back

that they were preparing to destroy the foreign
ers at Ling-Shang and their followers the ma
tive Christians
Furthermore yesterday, May IA, when two Of
our native preachers went to the San-Ho-Y Yamen
with a letter from me to that official, they were
recognized as Christian eYangelists and followed
to the Yamen and repeatedly threatened with
death. There were manyacalls for knives to kill
them with. The official absent from the
city, so they did not see him. They actually
suffered physical violence, but that was
doubtless only because Of their own patience
and forbearance.
All about US men were actively stirring up
feeling against us. saying that we are poisoning
the wells, and many villages have already pur-
chased native medicines to put into the wells to
counteract the effect Of the supposed poison.
The, recent rains which you have had in Picking
have not reached this part of the country. and
hence, as no farming can be done, the people are
idle and distressed at having no crops, and con-
sequently easily mised by the designing men
who are so actively propagating the society.
SPREADING LIKE WILDFIRE
The I-Ho-CHuan is spreading like wiIdfire
over this district. Where two months ago it
was practically unknown to-day there are
scores Of active societies, which are rapidly be-
coming aggressive ones, and unless Your Ex-
cellency can secure the immediate and vigorous
action Of the Chinese Government in suppress
ing it and Furnishing few ringleaders, it is pos
sible (humanely speaking) that it is only ques-
ton of very short time until there will be
violent uprising in all this district I believe
that it is not yet too late to suppress 1t if taken
hold of in earnest by the Chinese officials, but
in my judgment (and I have passed through
several such experiences in my ten or more
years in China) there is not a day to spare.
Praying Your Excellency's kind offices on our
behalf. am your obedient servant
