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 (ingraM * | LITHIA t t Wateß I dS BUILDS UP THE SYSTEM, M/ /|\ d/ F° r Sale at Soda Founts of: 4S CURRY-ARRINGTON CO, J.

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.

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. “Everything.
