I SOLDIERS REFUSE TO] WORK Proposition for 1 Our Government to Ad- vance Funds on Security of Customs— Great lirdtement Prevails in the Island éAmericans Enforcing Obedience. Havana, Jan. 30.———Senor Federico Mora, the civil governor of Havana. Saturday declared that the questlon 01 the payment of the Cuban army was of much greater importance than the Washington government seems to real— ize. He said that if the! Cubans were to collect the customs of the island, which are their property, their first action would be to meet Cuba’s sacred obli- gations to the army by the payment in full of the soldiers. But the cus- toms administration being in the hands of the Americans, the Cubans make a simple business proposition to tthe Uni- ted States government that it shall ad— vanc. money to pay the ‘troops, hold- ing t .e customs as security. If the Americans were not present, Sen: .' Mora. further ’said, Cuba could eas y obtain the necessai‘yiloan. The dis .ibution of this money to the army 'is ssscntial to permit the country to prr seed with the work of agriculture, which must form the foundation of its reconstruction. The army contains many men who consider that Cuba is in a position to demand the full pay- ment of the army by the United States, and assert that other action on the part of the American government would be worse tyranny than was ex- ercised under Spanish sovereignty. Senor Mora. considers the underesti- mation of the importance of this mat- ter unfortunate, and his views are held by a majority of the Cubans. The heat-of the discussion is daily increas- ing, and the newspapers of 'the island are full of arguments in favor of the payment of the army. General Snyder reports that five or :six hundred members of the Cuban --army ale encamped near Sancti Spiri— tus, loafing about and pilfering and ~begging food. General Snyder sent "word to them that if they would come ,j-to Sancti Spiritus and help the Ameri— cans to clean the town they would re- ceive pay and rations, but the offer was refused, the Cubans replying that they were soldiers, not scavengers. A prominent Spaniard, long a. resi- dent of Cuba, and all of whose inter- ests are here, declares that if the Am- ericans to-morrow demanded the dis- armament of the Cuban army without pay, a storm of passionate protests would followl but the army would obey, possibly a few of them becoming bandits and taking to the hills. He also says that the most salutary steps taken by the Americans since their arrWal in the is land have been those of e. .fo1cing obedience to and respect for their authority. A policy of too , great consideration in the American relations with the Cubans p1oduces the impression that the Americans "fear them. The recent strikes in the country on plantations and railways are said to be due to the fact that the Havana po- lice and other Cuban servants of the government are paid too much. This breeds discontent among the laborers. who, consequently, demand more than the farmers can afford to pay. Cir-magic (7:1?ch to Oivo $100,000.

Barcelona, Jan. 30.--The Manila cor- respondent of the Diario says he has discovered that the relations between Major General Otis and Rear Admiral Dewey are most strained owing to thc pxofound rivalry which exists between the land and sea forces of the United States in the island. ”The administrative morality of the Americans," says the correspondent, “is below par. The gambling hells oi Manila. are taxed $1,200 each and the police are highwaymen who make ar- bitrary arrests and then demand from ten to twenty dollars for the release 01 their prisoners.” The COI‘IBSDOHdent further declares that the Americans have monopolized all the t"ade and swamped the mar— kets with their products, rendering Eu- ropean competition impossible. As an instance of this he alleges that Cali- fornian wines are sold in Manila as genuine Bordeaux. President Encouraging Lads. Washington, D. C., Jan. 30.—The ex- ecutive committee of the American Boys’ Association, the object of which is to build a, first class battleship for the American navy, is in Washington consulting various officials. The boys Saturday had a. conference with the members of the naval com- mittees of Congress, and the president received them. Mr. McKinley assured them of his deepest interest in their project and wished them every success. One of the principal purposes of their visit to Washington was to ascertain if the law relative to_ the naming of the ships of the navy will permit the pro" posed vessel to be christened the Am- erican Boy, and also to ascertain it their contribution could be legally ac- cepted by the government. They were informed that neither 01 these points was an obstacle. A Shortage in His Accounts. , W'ashingtoh, D. C., Jan. 30.—Clare11ce Arthur Hardy, cashier of the Riggs House, has disappeared, leaving a shortage in his accounts. About two hundred dollars is known to be miss- ing, but the loss to the hotel is prob- ably greater. Hardy was a clerk in the treasury department up to a year ago, and was later employed on the work connected with the last bond issue. He claimed to have come from T‘Texas, Omaha. Chicago and all points west.” The police have been told that he was a ticket of leave man from Joliet state prison in Illinois, to which he was sentenced for defrauding the Chi- cago Inter-Ocean. . French-German Alliance Urged. Berlin, Jan. 30.--The Cologne Gazette forcibly advocates a. rapprochement between France and Germany in an ar- ticle which concludes by saying; An honest peace with France would not only ameliorate our relations with Russia, but materially assist Austria and Italy, thus strengthening the con- tinental powers against the competi- tion of the maritime powers. This would have the effect of largely real- izing Count Goluchowsktl’ s idea in ad- vocating a close union of the conti- nental powers as their most important policy. Payne Succeeds Dingley. Vx'ashington, D. 0., Jan. 30.—Presl- dent McKinley Saturday evening an- nounced the appointment of Represen— tative Sereno E.

How That Philosopher Gave Relief to a Poverty-Stricken Couple. “I was an eye witness,” said one of a party, “of an OCCIll rence that would have been regarded as remarkable had I not understood it. Late one after- noon I was sitting 011 a bench in Mad- ison square. On another bendh near by were :1 man and woman, both young. The man was thin and pale, and I gathered from such of his talk as I overheard. that he was recovering from a 1011;; illness, that the woman was his- wife, and that they were in desperate need of money. “George Francis Train came along and sat down beside me on the bench. I knew him well and told him about the young people and their troubles. VPresently he went on his way and I saw 111111 go into a store on the south side of the square. A few minutes later he came back to the young cou- ple. As he passed them a shower of gold and silvel coin dropped f1 om his pocket. diiecily at their feet, jingling musically on the asphalt. Mr. Train walked right along, paying n-o heed. The young man sprang up and called Mr. Truin‘s attention to his loss, say. ing. ‘You've dropped a lot of money, sir.‘ ‘You’re very much mistaken, young man,’ Train replied, and he walked rapidly away. ' The young people dumbfounded. and, after they had hathered up the coins, seriouslyt talk- ed of turning the money over to the police. Feming that they would real~ ly be so foolish, I went to them and advised them to keep the wealth, as the man 'who had dropped the money had a way of doing just such eccen- tric things, which he could well at- ford, as he possessed a great~ fortune. They left the square soon after with smiling faces. - “T1ain undoubtedly had gone to a sto1e, obtained a lot of coin, cut the lining of his coat pocket, holding the 9:11p together 'with his hands to keep the coin within until he reached the young couple. when he let go and the coin fell at their feet. It was his way of helping them without embarrassing : them with an offer of charity.”- \Vashiugton Post. ' were utterly Food and Drink in ()ne. According to tradition the discover} and use of pulque in Mexico dates from the eleventh century. Pnlque is both a food and a. drink and among the poor it forms a very i111po1‘liaut addition to- the frijoles. tortillas and chile, making up their limited fare. In employing a Mexican servant, a few cents a" day for the purchase. of pilque is generally allow— ed by the mistress of the house. A Mexican can do with little clothing and scanty fare, but life is a thirst- panged desert if the usual allowance of pulque is interfered with.
