General Weyler Calls on
Delegates For Support.
Havana, Feb, 10.—Despite the
fact that advance abstracts com-
municated to the press of Havana
by the government at Madrid of
the full scheme of . the Cuban re-
form have not yet been published
here the public is virtually in
possession of the salient features
of the decree which has been for-
mally approved by the queen re-
gent. This information has been
derived from the latest newspa-
per received from Madrid, which
printed forecasts of the new
scheme.
Cuban reformists and autono-
mists alike say they expect that a
census will be taken and a recti-
fication of the existing poll lists
made before an election is held in
Cuba under the reform act for the
purpose of naming the new coun-
cil of administration of tqe island
which will consist of thirty-five
councillors, twenty-one of whom
are to be elected directly by the
people. The conservatives, on
the contrary, will insist that the
election be based on the registra-
tion now in foice, claiming that it
is wholly legal.
The Havana money brokers to-
day waited upon the colonial
treasurer for the purpose of in-
formally discussing the question
of paper currency. The treasurer
recently called to his office all the
money brokers of this city and
made them responsible, owing to
their speculations, for the depre-
ciation of the paper currency,
which was at 26 per cent discount
in gold. They were warned that
if within forty-eight hours the pa-
per currency was not quoted at
the silver rate or at a smaller dis
count the matter would be layed
before the captain general.
At a meeting subsequently held
the brokers decided to petition the
government to allow them to carry
on a legitimate business. They
claimed that they were not re-
sponsible for the depreciation and
that if they were compelled to
adopt lower rates it would close
their offices. The treasurer, as
shown at today's conference, had
entirely changed his opinion in re-
gard to the alleged hurtful prac-
tices of the money brokers. He
stated that he In no way blamed
them for the depreciation of the
bills and agreed to grant them
better facilities for their opera-
tions.
He also said that a change
would be made in the monetary
situation in accordance with the
demands of the public.
Ricardo Perez, a naturalized
American citizen, has been placcd
under arrest at Goanabacoa on ac-
count of supposed complicity in
the Cuban insurrection.
Captain General Weyler, in a
speech on the occasion of the re-
ception of a number of delegates,
said he was anxious to end the
war in the province of Santa Clara
as soon as possible. He announced
that he was counting upon the
support of all loyal citizens.

into possession of them is not
known. He left a note saying he
regretted the act he was about to
commit, bat gave no reason for it.
The middle of January the cap-
tain became insane and it was
found necessary to have him con-
fined in a hospital, where he be-
came so violent it was necessary
to plaoe him in a straight jacket.
Dr. Hammond attributed his con
dition to wounds received in the
battle of Yalu river He is a son
of Capt. Norton McGuffin, who
served in the Mexican war with
distinction and who was colonel of
the E'ghty-eighth Pennsylvania
volunteers in the war of the re-
bellion. He graduated at the na-
val academy of Anappolis with
high honors in 1882.

Louisiana Sufferers.
Shreveport, La., Feb. 10.—
Thirty thousand people in this
state are practically starving to
death. A relief committee, which
has inspected the stricken par-
ishes east of Shreveport, say this
number of people will have to be
sustained during the unfruitful
season. The state has already
expended 165,000 for corn and
provisions for the sufferers and
calls for funds. A meeting was
held in Shreveport under call of
the board of trade and 15000 was
subscribed.

What to Do With Convicts.
Georgia is not the only state
which is troubled with the con-
vict problem.
It has become a very lively
problem in Illinois That state
has one of the best regulated pen-
itentiaries in the country, but
there ie a growing popular oppo*
sition to its system of convict
labor. Labor organizations are
making a fight on it because it
places the convicts in competition
with free labor and their demands
for reform are receiving much
support from the politicians who
have high respect for the labor
vote.
Governor Tanner recommends
that convicts be employed in the
manufacture of books for the pub-
lic schools. Whereupon a meet-
ing of printers and others who are
engaged in the line of work which
the governor proposes to torn
over to convicts condemned his
recommendation in very severe
terms.
Any proposition to employ con-
victs in ordinary lines of industry
would certainly provoke a like
protest.
The Chicago Record suggests
the true solution of the convict
labor question wheu it advocates
that convicts be worked on the
public roads. The Record says:
'•The only way prisoners can be
employed without competing di-
rectly with free labor is to put
them to work on the public im-
provements that could not be con-
structed for years tcr come but for
the utilization upon t}iem of labor
of this sort. In this way there
may be secured improvements of
inestimable value for all time that
the public might not have telt
warranted in constructing under
other circumstances. There is no
donbt that good roads would bo
worth almost any amount to a
community, but it is practically
impossible to get taxing bodies to
take from the people the sum*
necessary for their construction.
Making of good roads would be in
many respects ideal employment
for a portion of the state's con-
victs, and the proposition so to
employ them has been revived in
New York, The chief objection
to the plan, peculiar'y enough, i«
a sentimental one. It is argued
that the popular sense would re-
volt at the sight of convicts und^r
guard at work in the presence o*
the public. This objection lis-
some weight, bat it should not b"
made to appear insuperable."
In Tennessee and some ether
states the experiment of convict
labor for road constrneMon is to
be tried, and that is the plan
which is most generally favored
in Georgia as a substitute for the
present lease system—Ex.
