New York, Nov. G. Moses P. Handy, the
special comiulsMoucr from America to the
proposed Pans exposition of 1900, re
turned home today a pav-onger on the
steamer Paritu Mrs. Handy accompanied
him, as did Lieut. Ashcr C. Baker, U. SN ,
who was identified with Maj. Handy in thu
World's Columbian Exposition. Mr. Handy
left here August 20 with special Instruc
tions from President McKlnley to acquire
as much space as possible for American
exhibits at the great exposition. His task
was accomplished several weeks ago, but
the extreme labor of the task mude Mr.
Handy 111, und his friends wno met him
today found him in anything but good
health.
Fo exhausted was he today that he had
tc leave the care of his baggage to Lieut.
Eaker and huny into a closed carriage,
wIik'i took him, with Mrs. Handy, to the
Waldorf. Speaking of the success of his
trip, Mr. Handy said:
"I succeeded beyond expectation in se
curing -pacc. It is, true I "was nandi
capped somewhat. The American Govern
menl, it should be remembered, accepted
the invitation cf Fiance for an award of
space one jear ago. The European coun
tries Mere a little quickei with their ac
ceptant.es, so that when 1 arrived on the
field it was to find eighteen other com
mislcncrs there. However, I succeeded
finally in making up for a great deal of
lost time and induced the French author!
ties to iii.i1;l certain allotments of space
on the Iwsls of the most favored nation
'In this way America .received alto
gether 200,000 squure feet of space. That
is prcttv goud, I take it, consideiiug that
the American lepresentalive started in
after ot.ner comnils.lone had been one year
ahead. Of course, America will make a
memorable anu filUng display. The show
will eclipse anything of its kind iu tlie
past- I feel satisfied that no country
will be lietter represented there n 1900.
'Thrreare so many representative Ameri
can influx ri?s inxious to secure privileges
iu connection with our award that I real
izo how utterly impossible it will be to
satiate thedemandsorall. We wllldoalike
by everybody, though, and satisfy all as
much as possible.
'Bureaus for the receipts of applications
for apace will be opened at once in this
city and Chicago. No appropriation for
the exhibition has been made jet by
Congress, although a bill appropriating
$500,000 lor the purpose lias passed the
Senate, and now "awaits the action ot the
House."
An Important Decision.

of the Knoxville Street Hallway Company,
of which J. Simpson Africa, of Phila

Honolulu, Oct. 30, via San Francisco, Nov

off the yoke of the Sugar Trust and have
set the Sprecr-cls at defiance, bj leaving
them Mali out In disposing of the 1890
c-ap: The contract with the trust expire I
on November 1, and wnj not be renewed
Instead, a local combination of planters

at a new refinery to erected at Tort
Costa, Cal. The deaPwatohsummated In
New York and Califojifi last week, and
the contracts have, been leceived hero by
steamer .
Not only have the planters been able
to dispose of their product in the open
market, but also at much lower rate of
commission than before. Over $100,000
In commissions alone will be saved by the
new deal. The New York sugar will u
go around the Horn la sailing vessels as
hitherto. Seafaring men laugh at the
idea of r.-U competition. So long as they
car Cdiiy freight to New York at &5 a
ton they sav thev fall to see where rail

T. H. Davles plantations, do not figure
in the new deal,
Since the Spreckcls people have taken
up the cause of Queen Liliuokalani, T. II.
Davis has found it more to his interest
to side with Spreckcls. Outside of the
plantations controllcdby Mr. Davis are
somq nine or ten controlled dhectly by
Mr. Sprcckles. The combination controls
twenty-nine plantations, including the big
Ewa plantation. The Sewall Line of clip
pers will be chattel cd again this 3 ear to

This is the first time 111 yeais that the
i.ugnr crop has been disposed of outside
the trust. The new cunditton of affairs
arose from the building cf. the ner re

This deal will be of great advantage to
the sugat planters, for it is made on bet

Gen. Blanco Decides That He
Will Not Release Them.
RAVAGES OF STARVATION
Famine Increasing in HavJfnn and
All Over the Lsluiid Only Remnrty
Found by the Captain-General Ls
a Reduction of the Import Duty
on "Cattle.
Havana, Nov. 5, via Key Wst, ;Nov. G.
The terms of the decree of Gen. Blanco
regarding the puclflcos will be utterly
unsatisfactory from a humane point of
view. Gen. Blanco has the decree already
framed, on hie desk, and is only awaiting
bomenoyohes that will be given, to it by
Siior Congosto, the new secretary. Seilor
Cungosio, who has been Spanish coubul At
Philadelphia, a" an expert in American
affairs, is expected to write an introduc
tion to the decree in order to impress pub
liooplnionin An erican in favor ottheSpan
ish government. But, in fact, neither the
concentration of pacificos will be stopped,
nor will the awful famine that prevails
among them be relieved.
Gen. Weyler concentrated the pacificos
around the fortified Spanish towns, and
said in hib decrees that zones ot cultiva
tion were to be granted to them foi rais
ing vegetables and keeping their cattle.
Gen. Blanco, Instead of turning the pacificos
loose, according to the formal promise of
Spain, will onlv order on paper, their
zones of cultivation "to be enlarged."
But the paclfico will remain within tho
Spanish lines, under the reach of the fire
ot the Spanish forts and herded like wild
beasts, Just as in the days ot Weyler.
They will not be allowed to return to
their own farms in the country, and in
spite ot the humanitarian sentiments that
will adorn the introduction written by
Senor Congosto, they will practically re
main In thraldom, with all their works and
acts closely watdhed by the Spanish col
umns. Gen. Blanco hub taken this decision
after several consultations with Spaniards
here, who infi rmrd him that to relea-e
the pacificos would De a step in favor jf
the insurgents.
Thf ravages of starvation are increas
Ing in li van a and all over the island
The only remedy found by Gen. Blanco is
to suspend the import duty on cattle, but
the decree is not so liberal as has been
cabled ti-America. Accordingto listerias
that Will be printed tomorrow (Suturd ij j
in the Uai-etr., from November 10 to Tan
uary 10 no duties will be imposed, but
after the latter date 30 per tnet-of the
duty now imposed will be collected.
Gen". Blanco expects that two months,
will be long enough to introduce all ihs
cattle u"cdcd In Cuba, and he had told
the several charity associations and philan
thropic persons who called on him to ask
rede l for the starving people, that, though
his wishes arc for the best, he does not
see how he can otherwise alleviate the
evils of the situation. Hunger in Ilavina
is causing a dreadful Increase in crimes.
Personal security in the streets, whtUi
was never great her, does not exist at
all today. Every man here who risks him
self on t'tO streets of the capital after
sUi.sen has to take cart- of his own life.

London, Nov. 6- A great civil qrjsls in

is apparently not far off. Internal dissen

to this effect comes not only from Th

grave nature of the crisis.
