made no on account of want cf food,
and the artual nreeaaariaa of life. and
think these men were in aurb a atal*
by reaaon of obeying tbelr chiefa. who
desire. Drat of all, to reaped the order*
of the American government. The
Cuban leadera In esmp told me to tel!
you they maintain patience, and above
all. faith in the American government,
and tbe worthy President, McKinley,
but it the aame time let it be under*
stJod we are hungry. We have In the
towns and Adda of Cuba all that 1*
needed In the way of food, but we are
forbidden to touch it by rea*on of the
peace order. They dr> not got from
Havana one-fourth of what they need,
and our soldier* are dying at the gate*
of the city for lack of fcod. If, by mis
fortune we are driven by the neces
sities of our nrmy to get by force what
we need *o as not to die rs hunger will
the people of the Cnited Suite* con
demn us, or will ihe nations of the
world, which do not know what Is
happening, judge us unworthy of the
sympathy cf the American people?”
Secretary Alger staid he would look
Into the matter, and telegraph the
commission at Havana Instructions as
expropriate to the case.
Nobody will blame General Joe
Wheeler for indulging In a little over
confidence in his congressional cam

Why He Opposes a Cut.
Mr. Hickman was then asked to ex
plain why he was not <vllling to make
a cut in the wages of liis operatives.
He s.-.iil that, in the first place, his
mill was steadily earning Us regular
dividend ot' 10 per cent. There was a
great deal in economical management
and improved machinery. He had the
advantage of both. He did his own
buying and selling, and thus saved
thousands of dollars which otherwise
woud go out In commissions, u
