constructive processes. The dubious points In
the decree authorizing the official quotation of
the billetes, or paper money, were cleared up by
I supplementary "banda." The experiment has
worked well In the first few days. Billetes had '
????>-n Quoted for weeks at a maximum of 4o" per
cent as against gold. Ttuy have risen to 44
?>?-r cent. The retail merchants of the city, who
have always objected to the currency, are try?
ing to take advantage of the situation and en?
force small transactions In silver. This may
cause unit lier monetary disturbance.
SUPPLY OF LAHOR 1XAPEQTATE.
The sucar plantations wen? helped a little by
the "banda" prohibiting municipalities from con?
fiscating the crop for local taxes. The municipal?
ities are In a bad way. The central government
Is heavily In debt to most of them. The indus?
trial and ncricultural paralysis has shut off their
sources of income. But If the sugar was to be
confiscated for taxes there would have been no
use in grinding; and the captaJn-general acted
wisely !n frlvlng the planters' needs preference
over the necessities of the municipalities. Most
of the mills In the districts of Matanzas. Car?
denas and Clenfuegos are grinding. There Is
feverish activity among the planters to get their
cane cut and ground.
Unfortunately, the labor supply 1? Inadequate.
The railroads are carrying laborers free, but
many of the plantations cannot get hands
enough. No means exist to meet the deficiency
In labor caused by depopulation. Enough re?
concentrados capable of work do not remain
to supply the plantations with laborers. With
oxen, better nuccess la reported. Some have
been had from Florida, more from Honduras.
Cattle shipments from the Gulf States, however,
are lessening. Mexico and Venezuela are now
securing the bulk of that traffic.
Though some measures of financial and In?
dustrial reconstruction have been entered upon
bv the authorities, the economic rebuilding
which the condition of the country population
calls for is Ignored. Unable to give sufficient
relief of food, the distribution of rations among
the reconcentrados by Government agencies has
practically ceased The tovns and vlllag-s
n.ake pitiful appeals without response. Can?
delaria, In the tobacco-growing region of the
West begs In vain. Remedios, the centre of
the tobacco district In the Ea.?t. beers for suc?
cor. Gui?es, in the southwestern part of Ha?
vana Province, points to a sudden Increase in
the death rate which has given It an appalling
?lebrltv. And so on from other parts of the
island. The cry of the people is fi r food, and
the Government is both passive and Impotent.

NOT CHEERFUL FOR SAG?STA
CONSERVATIVES IN CUBA PASSIVELY
OPPOSE AUTONOMY.
A<*nO>J OF TUB PARTT OWVE.YTION IN CUBA?
FTRTiirra hf-tails or thf. kilmno or Rtnz.
[BT TELEGRAPH TO TUB TRIBt.'NE.)
Havana, via Key West. Fia, Dec. 22.?Two
subjects occupy attention this week. They are
the death of Ru?z and the action of the Con?
servative party's convention. Confusion exists
regarding the Conservatives, but the meaning
of their actions Is clear. It I? a disappoint?
ment to the Government, which had hoped for
support or acquiescence. While the convention
condemned all rebellion It adopted a resolution
absolutely rejecting autonomy. The meaning
is that while the Conservatives will not revolt,
they make opposition to autonomy on article
of their party creed. The resolution to with?
draw from public affairs Is not ?o Important, as
it wa.-? coupled with power given to the directory
of the party to act If developments later called
for participation In public affairs. The sub?
stance is that for th* present the Conservatives
remain In passive opposition, but at a favorable
opportunity their opposition may become active.
The refusal to accept Apeztegula's resignation
was not significant. His policy wa? practically
repudiated and he wa* left in his place with the
feeling that henceforth he would go with the
party. The resignation of the Marquis of Plnair
dol Rio, the vice-president, was also refused.
Be had had a controversy with Apeztegula.
The convention authorized the Marquis of Pinar
del Klo to cable > ongratulatlon? to Weyler aa
an evidence that Weyler had Its confidence.
The violent declarations of Santo? Gulzman
against President McKinley'? Message met wtth
the approval of the Radicals, who were In a
majority, but was not embodied In a resolution.
Conservative organs comment with satisfaction
on Gutsman'S utterances
The agitation over Ruiz's death continues.
General L?p will probably make a report to
the State Department. The exact facts can
be had from his report. Ruiz was not under a
flap of tniCS when he entered the Insurgents'
camp. The white flag has not been displayed
on either side since the Insurrection began.
The Spanish military authorities have refused
to use It on the ground that this would form
the basis for recognizing the belligerency of
the Insurgent?. The correspondence between
General I^ee and the lnsurg'-nts I? brief. Gen?
eral Lee wrot? to Ariuiguren that he understood
that Ruiz was In his custody; that Ruiz waa
his personal friend and he hoped hi? good offi?
ces might be received for the prisoner's r?*
lease. While the ?ubject was thus put as a
personal matter, It was. In reality, expressing
the hopes of Rlanco, ?nd communication
with the Insurgent" was made under the official
sanction of the Captain-General. Arangtir*n
was absent from camp when Oeneral Lee's
inaaa? ligar arrived. His Lieutenant-Colonel.
Lima, sent a written answer that Ruiz had
entered the camp In the uniform of a Spanish
military officer; that he had made propositions
which could not be entertained; h?d been court
martialed and executed.
General Lee's messenger learned further de?
tails which show that Ruiz was killed with a
machete after making r brave tight. Arangu
ren's presence caused a report to be circulated
from official quarters that he had he,-n sacrificed
by the Insurgents because he was willing to
entertain propositions for autonomy. The re?
port was untrue Ar'ingur?n is with a con?
siderable body of his followers In the southwest?
? rn part of Havana province.
The spirit shown by the Insurgents, however,
confirms ?hat ha,s been suspected, that any chief
advocating autonomy would be sacrificed to
their resentment. Ruiz s friends among the Vol?
unteers and armed firemen of Havana continue
censuring General Rlanco and demanding that
h? execute vengeance on the Insurgent?. From
their camp the Insurgents hav* sent a d?flant
message for the troops to come and take lt_ Th?
rtmatkabl? circumstance that a Spanish officer
and alvo a messenger from the American Con?
sulate could reach their camp In a few hours
tift'-r leaving Havana, ornen the troop? never
found it, causes sharp comment on the military
operations. The oamp Is six miles from a Span?
ish fort and has been located there for nine
months
The newspapers have published a Madrid dls
pat' h saying thai Minister !>? I/>me advi-e* the
military authorities that in consequence of
Ruiz's death rhe United States Government ha?
ordered the Atlantic Squadron to the Medlter

PLAZA SITE Ali AX nox ED.
SOLDIKRS AND SAILORS' MONUMENT COM?
MISSION RECOMMEND! THAT THE
SHAFT BE ERECTED NEAR
GRANT'S TOMB.
The Soldiers and Sailors' Monument Committee
met In the Mayor's office yesterday with the Muni?
cipal Art Commission and formally abandoned the
Plaza site for the proposed monument. A motion
was made to adopt as a slie for the monument the
north end of Riverside Drive, a thousand feet
north of Grant's tomh. Charles T. Barney, of the
Municipal Art Society, said he would agree to the
site If letters were read from Professor Ware,
Bruce Price and Professor Sturgls, approving the
site. General Cotila the Commissioner of Public
Works, opposed the chanpe of site, and offered a
resolution to ?isk. the Corporation Counsel whether
the Soldiers and Beliefs' Monument Committee
could not select a site despite the veto of the
Municipal Art Commission.
"I am opposed to any change from the Plaga
site," he said. "In my opinion the Municipal Art
Association has nothing whatever to do with this
question. I do not think that the Legislature
when It passed the law giving the veto power
over auch things to those men In order to
prevent the erection In the future of efflges
in our parks such as we have now, In?
tended to take away entirely from this Com
mlaalo . crested especially by It to build the
Soldiers and S.illorV Monument, the power to do
what the Legislature told It to do. The Corporation
Counsel has never given us an opinion on this
point, and I move to refer the question to him."
Recorder Goff said that he would oppose the
motion. "I don't want to be understood as being
Opposed to an opinion from Mr. S'-ott. but it Is
Bow too late to aak for one. This Commission has
already referred th? Plaza plan to the Municipal
Art Commission, and that Commission has not ap?
proved of it. It would he Inconsistent and 11
logteal now to ask for an opinion as to the rights
of that Commission because Its answer didn't suit
us. More than that, I think the opinion Is not
BSCOSBarT. It seems to me th.lt It Is well settled
that this monument Is subject to the approval of
th? gentlemen constituting that so-called Com?
mission. To ask for an opinion now would simply
delay things so long that the erection of the
monument would very likely be delayed Indefi?
nitely."
Mr M? Millan ulso opposed General Coills'S mo?
tion, saying that the Parti Board felt it to be its
duty to defer to the opinion of men experienced in
art mattem Mr Ooulden declared that he did
not want any further delay, and would not con
Bent to he a member of the Commission any longer
If the matter were, held over until next ye.,r. He
voted sgalnsl General Colite. The Mayor 'IM not
say anything, hut voted "No." Commissioner
coin? dS'iaied that ss a member of the Commis
alon he would ask for an opinion anyway.
President O'Reilly of the Upper liait Side Asso?

favor of the Flfth-ave site, Mr M ??Millan spoke In
favor of the Claremont site He thought the

LITTLE HOPE FOR MRS. BOOTH.
SHE IS GROWING WEAK AND THE
VOLUNTEERS SAY IS DYING FROM
A BROKEN HEART.
HER PHTSiriANH ATTRIBUTE HER ILI*NE88 TO
MlDDtp ORIEF OR A 8EVBRE SHOCK?HER
FRIENDS ASSERT THAT IT IS CAC8ED BY
HER TREATMENT BY THE SAI-VATIOS
ARMY. AND MAKE SERlOCS CHAROE8.
Mrs. Maud B. Booth, the wife of Commander
Ralltngton Booth, of the Volunteers, who is lying
dangerously III at the Presbyterian Hospital, seems
to be growing weaker every hour, and her phy?
sicians hold out ollght hope for her recovery. The
cause of her Illness Is an injury to the pulmonary
artery. This, her physicians say, wa? caused "by
sudden grief or a severe shock."
While Commander Booth refuses to ?peak of the
cause of his wife's Illness further than to express
the prevailing fear that ?he may not recover, mem?
bers of the Volunteers freely discuss Mrs. Booth'?
illness and its cause. One of the most prominent
members said yesterday: "Mrs. Booth Is dying of a
broken heart, not only figuratively but literally.
The physicians diagnose her Illness as a ruptured
blood vessel of the heart, but we attribute It to the
unjust and cruel treatment she has received from
the Salvation Army ever since she and her husband
were compelled to leave It."
No persons are allowed to see Mrs. Booth at the
hospital except her husband and secretary. From
the nature of her Illness It Is necessary to restrict
her nourishment. In order to remove the blood clots
that have gathered around her heart. She Is not
allowed to partake of any food except five ounces
of liquid each day. She Is rapidly growing weaker
as a result, and the turning point will come In a
few day?. If she ?urvlves?and of this there I?
great doubt?It will be month? before ?he Is able
to leave the hospital. Balllngton Booth end the
entire staff ?t the headouarters of the Volunteers
are prostr.ited by Mrs. Booth's Illness. They are In
constant communication with the hospital, and
watch for every change In her condition Her hus?
band Is allowed to remain with her for a few min?
ute? once each day, but even then he 1? not allowed
to diseuse affairs of the Volunteers with her.
Mr*. Booth's Illness dates back to a short time
after the separation of herself ?nd her husband
from th? Salvation Army. She often complained
to the Commander about that time of a severe
pain In the region of the heart. This was at first
attributed to a mild attack of neuralgia of the
muscles of the heart, but. a? the pain became
serious, she consulted the surgeon? at the Presby?
terian Hospital, and then learned of the serious
Character of the trouble. Those who know the In?
side history of the disagreement which caused the
? ; eratlOU of Balllngton Booth and hi? wife from
the Salvation Army are now freer than ever In
their criticisms of the Army.
It Is little more than two years since the friction
aro-^e in the Salvation Army which ended In the
estrangement of Balllngton Booth from his rela?
tive-. In January. W. the war became open, and
General Booth ordered his ?on and daughter-in
law from America In February ot the ?ame year
Ralllngton Booth and hi? wife withdrew from the
Salvation Army and organized the Volunteer?.
How i.ltt.r the war between the two organization?
became later was told yesterday by an officer of
prominence In the Volunteers.
"I dislike" he said, "to discuss these matter?,
but the attacha on u? have been ?o bitter that I
now think It time to speak. Not satisfied with the
04dinar? rivalry which was bound to arise from
our breaking away from the Salvation Army and
starting a strictly Amerl. an Institution, methods
?rere adopted which wore almost malicious. Take
ne Instance, for example Mm Booth, when she
?poke In Chicago ?t a large meeting, was inter?
' rupted by a number of member? of the Salvation
Army, who were led by an officer high In au?
thority. Ttie Interruptions were so violent that she
was compelled to rebuke the people making the
disturbance. After the meeting wa? over these
people went on the stage and attacked Mrs. Booth
personally. This wa? reported in a letter to Salva?
tion Army headquarter?, but the officers not only
refused to reprimand those who were In the dis?
turbance but even went so far as to promote the
of!l. er who had led the disturbers.
On tup of this, every marl has brought to Mr?.
Booth anonymoua letter?, some of the most viru?
lent nature, telling her that she era? respon?lrve
for estranging her busband from hi? '?muy ana
that she had ?hortened the life of General Booth,
the commander-ln-ehtef of the Salvation Army, by
I her aetlon?. The?? letter? ?nd the other attack?
IV? had their effect on Mr? Booth, and we now
see the result. In addition to these letters, other
methods ?rere taken to Injure her t'aptain Turner.
r ?1th us In most a the work, but who with
forty-nine other girls, ws? Imported by the Salva?
tion Army shortly after Commander and Mrs.
Booth left It, was warned against Mrs. Booth by
the matron of the Sa.vatlon Army Training School.
[ In London.
One of the most serious charge? against Salva
: tlon Army officers Is now being Investigated by the
? District-Attorney of a countv In New-York. Ae
I cording 'o the Volunteers, the circumstances Which
tusee this Investigation are a? follows: Com
i mander Booth was to address a meeting of the
i post In thl? town and on the same evening to meet
| the minlst-rs of the town. Prior to the day of the
? meeting rhe commander reeetved a letter from the
minister of the leading church of the town telling
! him that It would not be advisable for him to
I vl^it the toen, and warning him not to do ?o.
j This letter created some suspicion, anil was turned
! over to the captain of the post of the Volunteers
: In the town <*>n Investigation the latter found
that It hut been written by a member of the
Salvation Army Corps In the pace, and that the
minister was really one of the most active sup?
porters of the Volunteer?.

General Booth has written to hi? ?on Balllngton
Once In the two years of rhelr esrrangement This
