AN ATMOSPHERE OF LIES.
Gen. Ludlow ExOnerates Brigade
Surgeon Maj. Dnvis-A New
View Of Cuban Character.

Washington, June 12.-Gen. Ludlow,
formerly governor of Havana, has
made a report to the war department
denying the recently-published state.
ment indirectly charging Brigade Sur
geon Maj. Davis with having accepted
brides to influence his official action
while acting is sanitary officer of the
city of Havana. The generals opinion
is shown by the following extract from
his report:
1.-The Cuban atmosphere as to the
public service is one of lies and de-
ceptions; accusations are many and
proofs are few; but seldom the
actual facts be obtained and verified.
People will say almost anything, but
will refuse to sign n statement or be
sworn to it. In particular are some
of the newspapers void of verify or
virtue. Most of them serve personali-
ties and depend for their income not
On their legitimate issues and adver-
Using, but upon receipts from pur-
chased space to avoid public SANDER
or exposure.
1.-The evil of false accusations is
widespread and profound, and it will
require a long time to eradicate it
from the community in general. All
American officers in Cuba have had
this to contend with, and nothing but
absolute openness of conduct and sim
cerity of purpose, of speech, of action,
can protect them from it. 1t would be
a waste of time to try to hunt down
the swarm of irresponsible statements
perpetually in circulation and eager
ly picked up from the streets and cafes
by the employees of a sensational
press"

IT LONDON.
The News Came Like a Bolt From q
Clear sky.

London, June 12.-The news that the
shutting off of Lord Roberts COM
munication with the outer world was
accompanied by such a serious loss,
came like a bolt from a comparatively
clear sky. In London, until the news
came, it was thought that the de-
struction of the railroad was accom-
plished by Free Staters, who were
avoiding rather than annihilating the
British detachments stationed at the
point attacked. Nor are Gen. Forestier-
Walkers vague statements regarding
Methuen and the situation at Heilbron
looked upon as reassuring. The Beers
appear to be in sufficient strength to
completely separate all the British
forces north and south of a line
stretching some so miles between
Roodcral and Hebron. Methuen's
march upon the latter place seems
somewhat in the nature of a movement
for the relief of Colville. The only
British officer left at Roodeval appears
to be the doctor in charge of the hos
pital, which is full of wounded.
What has happened to the troops
Immediately north of Roodeval is still
a matter of conjecture.
All in all, the dispatches reveal that
the situation is far more serious than
any one imagined.

DIVERSE OPINIONS QUOTED.
The First Given Fully Justified ana
Substantiatcd by that Last
Quoted.

Havana, June 12.-Of late Gov.-Gen.
Wood has had many callers, among
them lawyers, bankers, merchants and
even two members of the former cabi.
net, who have taken the position that
the United States government is going
ahead too fast in the direction OF
granting independence to Cuba. Those
who take this ground assign it as tie
rcs son for their decision not to join
in the coming elections. They point
out that there is not q single candi.
GATE in the island who is net a pro
fessional politician. and they argue
that to turn Cuba over to men of this
class would meal her absolutism. As
one expressed himself, it would be
abandonment.
Would you leave us? he asked,
naked to our enemies?"
These visits and statements were
the result of an interview with Gen.
Weed. published by the Discussion, in
which he was reported as saying that,
in all probability, a constitutional COZ.
yention would be called ir September
next, consisting Of all the mayors elect.
ed. business circles were thoroughly
alarmed by this announcement, al.
though there is no doubt that a great
majority Of the people received it with
favor.
Col. Carlos Cespedes, discussing the
matter yesterday, said:
"Thc interview which Senior Corona.
do editor of the Discusionl secured
with Gen. Wood, has made an admira.
bic Impression. Gen.. Wood promised
us that the elections should take place
in June, and he is about to keep his
promise. Now, according to the in.
tcrview, he n v that 4 national con.
vention will probably be called in Sep
TENDER to draw up a constitution. Our
people are disposed to trust him, es.
pecially after the way he is keeping
his promise regarding elections.
MANY Americans do not under.
stand the Cubans. We are quiet peO-
rle, and the Americans are apt to mis-
take crr guietness for submissiveness.
Personally, 1 have no doubt that indie
pendencc will be granted; but, if the
United States government should de-
clare that 1t will not fulfill its promise
or should refuse Il formal demand by
the Cubans for independence, then the
Cubans will take to the wo,sds, burn.
ing everything capable of destruction
by fire-sugar estates, towns ami
wharves."

THE CHINESE SITUATION.
It Formed the Principal Topic Of
Discussion at Tuesdays
Cabinet Meeting.
MINISTER coNeER's DISPATCHES READ.
The Steps Taken to Reinforce Admi-
raj kenspR Gone Over-Decided to
Stand by the Policy of Protecting
American Interests. Independents.
IL, aS Far as Possible.

Washington, June 1.-THE cabinet
meeting was attended by Secretaries
Hay, Hitchcock, Long and Gage, and
Postmaster-General Smith. 1t was de-
voted largely to a discussion of the
Chinese situation. Secretary Hay laid
before the cabinet dispatches from
Minister Conger, which indicated that
the situation is very critical. Secre-
tary Long had no late dispatches. The
steps that have been taken to rein
force Admiral Kempff were gone over,
and it was decided to stand by the
policy which has been entered upon
of pushing measures for the protec-
ton of the lives and property of Amer
lean citizens, and of acting independ-
emily as far as possible.
May Have to Act i'm UDiaOn.
1t may be that in the accomplish
ment of this result, the forces of the
powers will have to act in unison for
the protection of all foreign residents
in the disturbed districts, but this is
to I've the extent of the American ac-
tivity. 1t is to be confined solely to
the protection and safeguarding of our
own interests and those of our citizens.
The Chinese government will be looked
to. under the general laws of the COM
ity of nations, 10 restore order and to
make such reparation as is proper.
From all political schemes in which
any the powers may become involved,
the United States is to hold aloos.
This is the general policy heretofore
outlined. and it will be adhered to.
Admiral kempH Informed.
The navy department has cabled di-
rectly to Rear-Admiral kempff at
Taku, to inform him that marine rein
forcements have been ordered to him
from Manila. Thus the admiral will
be in a position to act with greater
freedom in sending relief expeditions
to Pekin and elsewhere, knowing that
he will soon be able to replace the
marines diverted from Taku.
