tive underlying a circular which Gen.

and endless quantities of materials.
According to tho statements of sev
oral senators, Senor Hngasta, after tho
senate galleries lmd been, eloared, pro
posed that questions relating to territo
rial cessions In discussed In secret. Re
plying to the criticisms of such a pro
cedure the premier urged that delicate
matters of ouch a nature were always
discussed In secret, and pointed out the
fact tlmt the situation was very grave.
Spain having only obtained a suspen
sion of hostilities, and Indiscreet parlia
mentary language might Interfere with
the diplomatic negotiations.
When these m m nations have been
concluded ho would ba willing to pub-
llsh everything, he said, and accept tho
responsibility, but now It was unnec
essary to bo united before tho enemy.
Therefore hto governmnet appealed to
tho patriotism of tho representatives
of the peoplo to prevent sensational
discussions that might sterilise the ends
desired by the country.

Paris, Sept. B.-Gen. Zurllnden, mili
tary governor of Paris, has accepted
tho ministry of war In succession to
SI. Cavalgnac, resigned.
Gen. Zurllnden was a member of tho
Ribot cabinet which went out of office
October 28, 1895.
After a long conference with the min
ister of the Interior, M. Brysson, and
tho minister of Justice, M. Sarrton, Gen.
Zurllnden was Interviewed by a news
paper representative. The general said
that the minister of justice asked for
the Dreyfus dossier. When these were
given him, he added, he would study
the documents carefully and inform
himself thoroughly regarding the case
before discussing It with the cabinet
The crisis In the cabinet Is not yet
regarded as definitely settled. Both M.
Brysson and M. Cavalgnac are believed
to be playing for the presidency of the
republic, and It Is thought that Brys
son Is growing jealous of Cavalgnac's
increasing popularity.
There Is a rumor tonight that Gen.
Zurllnden, the new minister for war,
will advocate a mere annulling of the
Dreyfus Judgment and sentence as a
safer way out of the Imbroglio than a
re-trlal involving all aorta of awkward
revelations.

Col. John W. Clous, memoers of the
Cuban commission, left here for Cuba
tonight on the Resolute.
Before the Resolute sailed Admiral
Sampson said to a repotter:
! "It Is probable that the sessions will
be held aboatR the Resolute rather
than In Havana on account of the un
sanitary condition of tho city, though
this has not been positively decided
upon. The commission does not expect
an easy time and see many knotty
problems ahead. Each member carries
with, him a copy of Instructions, outlin
ing his duties and explaining the wishes
of the United 8tatee government. Tho
commission expects to be absent ten
days, but It Is the belief ft all the mem
bers that action of congress will be
necessary before a satisfactory ar
rangement can'be reache 1.

Attend Their Own Poor.
Tampa, Fla., SepL 5.—The steam
ship Clinton arrived on Saturday
morning, having on board Miss Clara
Barton and staff. They reported excel
lent health, arrived In Havana on Au
gust 25 from Santiago. Notice of their
coming was cabled to Santiago.
After arrival at Havana the author
ities were called upon for the purpose
of securing their consent and co-ope
ration In the work of relief. Miss Bar
ton waa Informed that the government
was able to take care of Its people and
that no assistance was required. Al
though the Red Cross occupied a gov
ernment transport loaded with sup
plies solely for relief, the custom
bouse officials imposed a fine of 3500
In consequence of some technical Ir
regularities. Miss Barton was in
formed that full custom duties must
be paid.
The price of condensed milk In Ha
vana Is 31 a can, a'half loaf of bread
15 cents, meat 50 to 75 cents, rice 35
cents per pound. Irish potatoes 312 a
barrel, making clear to every one that
only persons of means could obtain
food.
Tho municipal authorities have es
tablished soup houses for the poor.
They are worse than nothing.
On the second day the relief party
visited Matanzas and Cardenas, where
the people and the governor held out
their hands in supplications. By this
time the Comal, loaded with 1,600 tons
of supplies, sent under tho direction of
the secretary of war as an aid' to the
Red Cross and In no way govern
mental, had arrived.
Every effort was made by the Red
Cross and the Comal officers, but the
best conditions we{e the following:
That on no account could the duty or
fine be remitted. The colonial govern
ment would pay the duty If tbe food
be passed to them for their use and
distribution. The proposition was not
entertained by the donors. The Comal
awaits Instructions from the home
government.
The Clinton has gone to New Or
leans to discharge cargo, and Miss
Barton will return to Washington to
consult the president and secretary of
state, after her quarantine Is over.

Lots of flerchants
Want to advertise, and
when they Sit down to*
the task vainly struggle
to set forth their ideas.
Suppose they should find
an oxpert who knows
how to put them in form
—how to tell what they
want to toll and cannot
—how to emphasize the
salient points of their
business—and then to
have them printed at
tractively ? Would it
not tickle them, and
would they not cling to
him, though it did cost
a trifle to get them up ?
Somo one right here can
do all of this for you.
