One of the important questions for
Future of Cuba Is Social, Not
Political Problem—Spanish
View of It.
New York, Sept. 28—Among the
passengers who arrived today on the
steamer City of Washington from Ha
vana were Dr. Jose Congosto, secretary
general of Cuba, and Captain hred
Sharp, of the Merritt-Chapman Wreck
ing company. The City of Washing
ton brought 41 cabin passengers, and a
small party composed chiefly of cigar
and tobacco manufacturers. Captain
Sharp thinks the collier Merrimac,
sunk in Santiago harbor, can be float
ed.
Later Dr. Congosto said: “The evac
uation of Cuba by Spain is a matter of
time, but when I left Havana every
thing was progressing well. 1 do Dot
care to enter into all the reasons for
delay, but one of the principal causes
is the fact that we have over 6,lHiO
sick who must be taken care of and
cannot be left behind.
“The problem of the future of the
island is a difficult one, and I have
studied it without piejudice, and as a
result on this study of years, I believe
that it is a social problem and not a
political one. Of course, politics will
enter into the solution, but the great
question is how to bring prosperity and
the greatest happiness to the people of
Cuba.”
Dr. Congosto was asked as to the
condition of the reconcentrados.
“There are no reconcentrados now,”
he answered with a smile.
“What has become of them?” was
the question.
“They are gone.”
“Where?”
“God knows,” was the reply.
“Do you mean to say they are all
dead?”
“That probably explains it better
than 1 can. It is a subject which I
prefer not to discuss.”
When 1 asked as to the establish
ment of a new navy for Spaip, Dr.
Congosto said: “Spain is still a great
country, and she ought to haye a great
navy—and probably will.”
Discussing the full of Santiago and
the surrender of General Toral, Dr.
Congosto said:
“There were braye soldiers at Santi
ago, ami if their leader lacked courage
he deserves to be punished. Santiago
should not have fallen as it did, and if
Toral had not entered into negotiations
with the enemy it is likely that there
would haye been a different story to
tell today. It is not true that the
Spanish army there lacked supplies
and ammunition, tor they had plenty
of both, which they turned over to the
Americans. It Toral had pushed for
ward instead of retreating toward the
city, he certainly would have caused a
repulse. There are things which he
will have to explain.”
Ciood Goods, Well Advertised.
Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking
Powder Company is ■ the largest adver
tiser in America. Of course, the busi
ness itself must be an enormous one to
,or I justify so great an expenditure in pub-
the voters of the state to decide in the )icity. There is no fallacy more dan
gerous than that success can be gained
atate election is the fate of the consti
tutional amendment, electing judges
and solicitors by a vote of the people.

the Dervishes! It the proposed railroad
is built it will run through the heart

officers and the journey from Cario to

Washington, Oct. 1.—Secretary of
Stale Hay, in the personnel of his of
fice, ha« been in receipt of cable ad
vices from Judge Day, president of the
peace commission, in which he says
that the business of the commission is
proceeding in the most satisfactory
manner. The utmost courtesy has been
shown ihe members of the commission
by the French officials and every facil
ity tor the accomplishment of the work
with which they are charged 1ms been
placed at their command. It is eyident
from the tone of Judge Day’scommuni
cation that he does not share the gloomy
view of the outcome of the meeting ol
the peace commissioners which is said
to be expressed in the French news
paper*.

then the greatest measure of success is
attained hy keeping it continuously be

advertising are both essential fo make
a product a great success. The ltoynl
Baking Powder possessing the first,
its proprietors have wisely used the
second, and the result is apparent

SIORM AT SAVANNAH.
Savannah, Oct. 2 For 18 hours
from 3 o’clock this morning until 6
o’clock tonight, Savannah has been in
the grasp of a West India cyclone.
During that time the wind blew
steadily from 30 to 70 miles an hour.
While the city escaped with com
paratively little damage, the loss of
property among the islan ds on Georgia
and South Carolina coasts is believed
to be heavy.
For miles in every direction around
Savannah the lowlands along the rivers
are submerged.
Only one fatality has so far been ^re
ported, the drowning of a negro while
attempting to reach the mainland from
a small island near Thunderbolt, but
great loss of life is feared on the South
Carolina sea islands,where such fearful
loss ot life occurred during the great
tidal storm of 1893.
The conditions now are similar to
those during that storm.
Owing to the submerged country and
the isolated location of the islands, no
news can be had from them until the
water subsides.
For eight miles north of Savannah
the entire country is a lake, with only
the hammocks visible.
The loss to rice growers alone will
be from $50,000 to $75,000.
The damage to shipping is consider
able.

Jewish Season of Feasting.
The Feast of the Tabernacle was
ushered in Friday afternoon at sunset,
and will he observed by those of the Jew
ish faith lor eight days. This is a sea
son of rejoicing, in contradistinction to
Yom Kippur, or the day of atonement,
which was observed last Monday. The
first and eighth days of the period of
feasting are observed with special ser
vices. This is the last of the three
great fall holidays.

newed health and strength and internal

The nicrobs ot Baldness,
No medical subject lias caused more
discussion than the statement by a
famous physicians that he has discov
ered the microbe which causes baldness.
There are other scientists who claim
that there is no such thing as a microbe
of this kind. Time alone must settle
the question. It was long ago settled
that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is a
standard remedy tor the common ail
ments of mankind. It is a true eure
for dyspepsia and indigestion, a true
medicine for the wenk and nervous, a
true strengthener and appetizer. Peo
ple who take it teel happier, sleep
sounder and look better than those
who don’t. Nearly every disease that
afflicts the human family can be over
come with Hostetter’s Stomacli Bit
ters.
Lieut. Hobson claims that he can
certainly raise the Cristobal Colon, un
less his work is hindered by a violent
storm. The navy department has de
cided to allow Hobson to attempt to
raise this vessel, and as the dreaded
storm is likely to come at any time
every effort should be made to give him
everything he needs in the way of men
and apparatus, so that the sunken Span
ish ship can be raised as speedily as
possible. The Colon and the Maria
Teresa would make valuable additions
to our navy, and would in a measure
compensate us for the loss of the Maine,
although nothing can make up to
America for the loss of the many brave
men who were brutally murdered by
the wretches who blew up that fine
ship.
