NOT SATISFIED
Spaniaris Say They are Anx
ious to Fight.
WOULD RESUME THE WAR
And Say They Believe They
Could Retain Cuba.
Washington, Oct. 18.—Infor
mation reached the war depart
ment ‘.hat a high officer of the
Spanish army very recently
made a statement that had the
Spaniards been aware of the
condition of the army, its inabil
ity to wsthstand the hardships
of a campaign, its lack of medi
cal and other supplies and gen
eral efficiency as told in the
American papers, the Spaniards
would not have given up, but
would have continued fighting
for a long time to come, fully be
lieving that they would have
been able to prevent the capture
of Cuba by American arms.
This statement is known to
have been made to the American
officers now in Cuba and causes
•ome uneasiness in official cir
cles as it may mean that the
Spaniards are not yet ready to
yield the island under the terms
of the protocol.
It is believed by officials in
Washington that had it not been
for the outcry made regarding
the army and the conduct of the
war there never would have been '
any question raised by the
Spanish peace commissioners re
garding the Cuban dent. It is
pointed out under the protocol
the sole question left for the
was the settlement
W of the Philippines and that noth-
ing was said about the Cuban
debt or any other Cuban ques
tion .
By those who are in aposition
to know it is asserted that the
Madrid government was aware
when it asked for peace and
when negotiations were opened
that it was useless to ask that
the Cuban debt be taken into
' consideration by any commis
sion and that i‘ is only since the
reports of the bad condition of
United Stares army has reached
Madrid that the question has
been raised.
Another matter that causes
grave consideration in the war
department is the temper of the
Spaniards in Cuba and the fear
that the impression which now
prevails there may lead them to
regard the American troops of
not much account and act ac
cordingly after the occupancy by
the United States.
The matter has been discussed
in the war department and it is
probable that when the troops
! are sent to Cuba there will be a
force of such s : zo and character
as to give the islanders a differ
ent impression of the United
Spates soldiers than they now
entertain.
“The impression among the
Spaniards in Cuba,” said an
officer in position to Know what
is going on, “is that the Ameri
can soldiers are weak and puny,
incapable of withstanding hard
ships and whom it will tie an
I easy matter to vanquish.
“This feeling may make it
; difficult for the Americans at
j first. The impression is due to
i the charges that have been made
against the war department
with such virulence and insist
ence during the past few
months.”
It has become evident that
the troops when sent to Cuba
must be isolated for some time

in their camps to avoid the
danger of infection and the de
partment is not quite clear that
any useful purpose will be serv
ed by placing soldiers where
their servlet s cannot be availa
ble. While the wet season has
now almost reached its end in
Cuba, it is said that the yellow
fever is more prevalent and
dangerous in type just now than
any time during the year. These
conditions, however, will not
continue long.
A proposition now under con
sideration looks to the employ
ment of the Cubans as logical
gendarme, it being urged that
they would be more serviceable
in maintaining order in the
towns than American soldiers,
unacquainted with the Spanish
language and Cuban customs.
I'he I nited States government
in this way also would be able
by the payment of small salaries
to these men to considerably re
lieve the distress that exists on
the island without breeding a
class of professional paupers or
lowering the pride of the Cu
bans.

TH EY NEVER DIE.
Some women not want to
be widows un ier ,apy circum
siances .
Two were talking on a train
headed for Alexandria four or
five days ago.
“That husband of yours is the
worst I ever saw,” said the el
der, with a voice and manner
indicating some degree of rela
tionship which bestowed pecu
liar privileges upon her.
“There is no news in that
statement.” responded the other,
with bitterness, yet not such
bitterness that there was no
sweet in it.
“What I have been wonder
ing for the last ten years is why
you ever married him? You
were young and pretty. and
didn’t have to marry for a home,
and he didn’t have money
enough to justify ycur family
in making your home disagreea
ble that you would have to m*r
ry in self defense .”
“There wasn’t anything like
that in anv of it. I suppose I
might have had any one of a
dozen men more eligible than
he was, if, indeed, he could have
jbeen considered eligible by any
one except myself.”
j “Then, what under he heav
ens did you ever marry him
for?”
“I had such a perfect horror
of becoming a widow, that’s
why I did it.”
1 he elder woman was render
ed q lite helpless by this strange
admission.
“Goodness gracious 1 What’s
that got to do with it? ’ sdie ex
claimed.

as well as anything that as
