There is a coincidence in a prolonged
drought and in an increased mortality
among the negroes in Charleston, S.
0., as also a connection between the
two. The News and Courier, of that
sity, aaya there has been little rain in
that section for 40 days or more, with
the result that many Of the water cis
terns are empty. The colored people
in the city depend largely for their
water supply on water caught in bar
rels from the roofs of their houses.
This is vile water under the best con
ditions, dally becoming worse when the
supply is not renewed. With tho fail
are of this the negroes, having no
knowledge of hygiene, resort to the sur
face wells, which, if not worse, are as
bad as the depleted cisterns. As a re
sult the health officer's report of the
number of deaths among the negroes
for the week ended on Saturday last
was 23, tho deaths among the better
Bitnated whites for tho same period bo
ing only two. An effort to remedy the
sonditions is being made in the estab
lishment of artesian drinikng foun
tains. Where these have been placed
sickness and death rate have been great
ly reduced, and the Nows and Courier
calls for their general introduction in
the negro quarter.

CUT THE CABLE
Gallant Work of Tars
Under Fire of
Cienfuegos.
ONE KILLED, SIX WOUNDED
Finished the Work in Spite of Terrible
Volleys From Shore—Spanish Log*
Known to Have ISeon Heavy—Forts
at Harbor Entrance Reduced.
Key West, May 17.—Amid a perfect
storm of shot from Spanish rifles and
batteries, the American forces cut the
sable at Cienfuegos Wednesday morn
ing. Four determined boat crews, un-
Jer command of Lieutenant Winslow
md Ensign Margruder from the cruiser
Marblehead, and the gunboat Nash
ville, put out from the ships, the coast
having previously been shelled.
The work of the volunteers was per
ilous. The cruiser Marblehead and the
gunboat Nashville and the auxiliary
cruiser Windom drew up 1,000 yards
from shore with their guns manned
ready for desperate duty. One cable
had already been cut, and the work
was in progress on the other when the
Spaniards in rifle pits and a battery on
a point standing out in the bay opened
fire.
The warships poured in a thunderous
volley, their guns belching forth mas
sive shells into the swarms of the ene
my. The crews of the boats calmly
proceeded with their desperate work,
notwithstanding the fact that a num
ber had fallen, and finished it, return
ing to the ships through a blinding
Bmoke and a heavy fire.
One man in a Marblehead boat was
killed, and six were seriously wounded,
one of whom, Robert Boltz, is now at
Key West, and is expected to die before
morning, a bullet having passed
through the base of his biain. Harry
Hendrickson, who also may dio, was
shot through the abdomen.
More than 1,000 infantrymen on shore
kept up a continuous fire, and the bul
lets from the machine guns struck the
warships 100 times, but did no great
damage. Commander Maynard, of the
Nashville, was slightly wounded by a
rifle bullet, that, before striking him,
passed through the arm of an ensign,
whoso name is unknown. Lieutenant
\Vinßlaw was shot in the hand, mak
ing three officers wounded in all.
When the Spanish had been driven
from the rifle pits, many of them took
refuge in the lighthouse fortress, upon
which the fire of the ships ha i been
centered. A 4-inch shell from the
Windom tore the structure to pieces,
killing many and burying others in the
ruins. The Spansih loss is known to
Lave been very heavy, the warships
firing hundreds of shot and shell right
into their midst.
Following ia a liet ol the badly
wounded:
Herman W. Kuchneizter, private
marine, shot through the jaw, probably
fatal; Harry Hendrickson, seaman,
shot through the liver, probably fatal;
Ernest Suntenic, apprentice, fracture
of right leg; Jchn J. Doran, boats
wain's mate.-gumihot wound in right
buttock; John Davis, gunner's mate,
wound in right leg; William Levery,
apprentice, wound in left leg; Robert
Boltz, seaman on the Nashville, se
verely wounded.
The remains of Eagan, who was
killed in the Marblehead boat, were
buried at sea.
The Marblehead and Nashville used
their heaviest guns, as well as their
small rapid-fire guns, and hundreds of
shots were thrown into the Spanish
troops. On board the ships a number
of men were slightly wounded. One
of the cables had been cut when the
Spaniards opened fire. The marines in
the boats replied at once, and machine
guns on the fowrard launch sent, in a
stream of bullets, while heavy shells
from the warships drove the Spaniards
from their rifle pits on shore.
The cable which was cut at Cien
fuegos extended from that city to San
tiago de Cuba. It does not^eever cable
connection with Cuba, as there is an
other line in operation between San
tiago de Cuba and Kingston, Jamaica.
The severed cable is owned by the Cuba
Submarine Company. The one in
operation to Kingston is owned by the
West Indies and Panama Company.
SPANISH LOSS AT MANILA.
Acknowledge That 300 Were Killed
and 600 Wounded.
Madrid, May 17. —A Spanish report
from Manila admits that the Spanish
lost 300 killed and 600 wounded when
Dewey annihilated the Spanish fleet
The dispatch, which was to El Liberal,
was dated May 9. It came by special
steamer to Hong Kong. It says:
"The arsenal has surrendered and
Cavite has been evacuated by our
troops. The Spanish losses were 800
men killed and 600 wounded. The
enemy suffered considerably, including
one officer killed on the Olympia. The
Baltimore was damaged. Oar shells
did not burst, and all the enemy's
shells burst.
"Admiral Dewey has had along con
ference with the foreign consuls. The,
Yankees took and burned our mer
chant ships. Corregidor island was
betrayed.
"The consulate assembly is discus
sing the horrible situation created by
hunger and misery. We are isolated
by the blockade and are in fear of an
immediate attack. Since the cable was
out little has happened.
"The blockade continues."

BY BULLETIN ONLY.
Secretary Long Curtails the Supply of
Information.
•Washington. May 18.—An order was
posted this morning, signed by Secre
tary Long, relative to the publication
of news emanating from the navy de
partment, considerably curtailing the
3upply of information that has hereto
fore been rather freely given out. The
secretary's order was directed to Cap
tain Crowninshield. chief of the navi
gation bureau, and he in torn gave it
out by making an order in his own
name, that no person connected with
his bureau in any capacity should have
any conversation whatever on subjects
in any way pertaining to the navy with
representatives of the press. As an
offset, it was ordered that bulletins of
such acts as have actually occurred and
are proper for publication and are not
connected with existing or projected
movements, shall be prepared and post
ed on the bulletin boaid.
The sum total of the information
published by the bulletin board today
under this rulo was a notice of the in
tention to start the Philippine expedi
tion, and of the permission given to
some foreign neutral vessels to pass the
blockade at Havana.
In explanation of the issuance ol this
order, the naval authorities say that
some leading American newspapers
have been so far lacking in patriotism
as to print plans of campaign and pro
jected movements of naval ships, with
the result that the war board has been
obliged to completely revise its plans,
in the knowledge that the Spanish had
promptly taken notice of the publica
tions, and were prepared to profit by
them.
OFFICIAL INFORMATION.
Dewey Advised That Troops Will Soon
Be en Route.
Washington, May 18. —The naval de
partment issued the following bulletin
today, embodying such official informa
tion of the day as the department re
garded proper for publication:
Admiral Dewey was informed that
officers, men and supplies would be
sent out to Manila by the City of
Peking. About 1,200 troops will go.
Mr. Knight, correspondent of the
London Times, having received the
necessary permission from the Spanish
government to land at Havana, if en
tering the port by a neutral vessel,
has been granted permission by the
navy department to take passage by the
German steamer Polaria, which vessel
is given permission to pass the block
ade. The department hopes to make
an exchange of prisoners at an early
date.
The British steamer Myrtle Dean
has been granted permission to go to
Cardenas, as was previously granted to
the Norwegian vessel Folsjo.
The Austrian man-of-war, Empress
Maria Teresa, will visit Cuban ports.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
Not Anxious to Incur Onr 111-Will—
Charges England With Mischief.
Paris, May 18.—The Journal dcs
Debarts, in a long article today, re
flects the anxiety experienced in gov
ernment circles here respecting the
feeling aroused In America on account
of Prance's open sympathy with Spain.
It says:
"The whole affair is a misunder
standing. French opinion at the out
set of the war certainly regarded the
United States in the wrong, and some
of the papers express this opinion in
an aggressive tone. The Americans,
however, should not have taken the
matter tragically, for of all foreigners,
our natural sympathies are for the
United States, and our government
throughout has acted most correctly."
After charging Great Britain with
being at the bottom of the mischief,
and declaring that it is America's busi
ness, if she decides to interfere in dis
tant affairs, the article concludes:
"What concerns us is that America
should not, in taking up the question
of international domain, start with
preconceived ideas against us, and de
nounce the good understanding with
France which has been so useful in the
past, and which is still more desirable
in the future. The French nation
was never really hostile to the Ameri
cans, who will realize this when the
present friction has had time to disap
pear."
Tempting Fate.
London, May 18. —A" dispatch to the
Standard from Corunna says: The
presence of the British ohannel squad
ron at Villagarier is likely to lead to
some unpleasantness. The idea of an
Aftglo-Amerinan alliance has so in
flamed the Spaniards that the postmen
from the fleet when on shore to collect
letters have been hooted and stoned.
Threats have been made to stop the
supply of provisions to the fleet. The
British consul protested to the alcalde,
who explained that the popular resent
ment was due to a belief in the exist
ence of an alliance, and to the further
impression that the fleet took wheat
that properly belonged to the poor.

Thousands Killed in a Cyclone.
London, May 18.—A dispatch to the
Standard from The Hague says: Ac
cording to a private telegram from In

great part of Bima, a seaport town of
the island of Sumbawa, Malay archi
epelago. The shores of Sumbawa bay
are covered with the bodies of thousands
of victims. The town of Kupang,
island of Timor, escaped the force oi
the hurricane.
Japan Will Protest.
London, May 18.—A dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from St. Petersburg
says: Japan intends to protest vigor
ously against America seizing the Phil
ippines. She has already sought the
assistance of Russia, and conferences
are occurring between Count Muravieff,
the Russian foreign minister, and the
Japanese ambassador, Baron Haydn
Tadu. It is believed that France and
Germany will support Japan.

ADMIRAL DEWEY WAITS.
Attack on Manila Has Not Vet Been
Made.
Cavite, via Hong Kong, May 17.—
"I am maintaining a strict blockade.
I have reason to believe that the rebels
are hemming in the city by land, but
they have made no demonstration.
There is a scarcity of provisions in
Manila. It is probable that the Span
ish governor will be obliged to surren
der soon. I can take Manila at any
moment. The climate is hot and
moist. May 12. we captured the gun
boat Callao, attempting to run the
blockade. We have plenty of coal.
One British, one French, two German
and one Japanese vessel are here ob
serving. "DEWEY."
Washington, May 17.—The dispatch
es from Hong Kong brought welcome
news today from Admiral Dewey to
the president, and particularly to Sec
retary Long and the naval officers who
are watching the admiral's movements
with so much interest. While no ap
prehension existed as to his security,
nevertheless reassurance of safety is al
ways pleasant. The telegrams in
dicate that Dewey has lost none of the
prestige gained in his memorable fight
of two weeks ago, and that while he re
frains from taking the city of Manila,
he has it practically at his mercy. The
admiral expresses the belief that the
rebels are hemming the city in by
land, but the fact that he says explicit
ly that they have made no demonstra
tion seems to disprove thoroughly the
published reports that they had al
ready entered Manila and had^egun a
career of bloodshed and rapine.
NO FOOD THERE.
Reconcentradoa Nearly All Dead—ntl
ful State of Affairs.
Key West, May 17.—The conditions
in Havana, resulting from the block
ade, are being gradually brought out
,by information obtained from fishing
smacks and other small vessels cap
tured off the coas f. Affairs at Havana
now appear to be worse than at any
time since the Weyler regime.
The fishermen who at first braved
the blockade for the high price which
fish brought in Havana, now run the
risk, not for money, but for food. A
number of these have been captured by
the vessels of the blockading fleet,
nearly all of them being released after
having been questioned by our officers.
They all unite in picturing the state
of things at Havana as being pitiful in
the extreme.
The press dispatch boat Kate Spencer
has accumulated all the facts obtainable
along the blockading line, the last news
being obtained through two captures
made by the gunboat Machias, which
has just returned here for the first time
since the blockade opened, making the
longest single service of any blockading
vessel off Cuba.
The Machias \jaught two fishing boats
off Havana just before her return here.
The Americana offered the fishermen
money for part of their catch, as the
fish were needed on board, but the
fishermen demuned at taking money,
preferring to have bread, and adding
that they were desperately hungry.
When questioned as to the preva
lence of yellow fever at Havana, the
fishermen said there was little sickness
at the Cuban capital, but they added
there was much starvation* The re
ooncentrados, they said, are nearly all
dead, or have been expelled from the
city to die in the suburbs. This agrees
with other reports from Havana and
Matanzas to the effect that the Spanish
authorities, on the departure of the
consul, seized all the supplies and ap
plied them to the use of the army.
The Spaniards then drove the reconcen
trados into the desolated sections of the
country, between the coast towns and
the insurgent lines, the regions de
scribed by Senator Proctor and others
as being too barren and desolate to sup
port grasshoppers.
The insurgents themselves have been
chary of receiving the reconcentrados,
and hundreds of the latter, who had no
personal friends in the insurgent
camps, have been left to starve be
tween the linea, which they did.
About Havana, the situation is even
worse. Hundreds of reconcentradoa
from Los Foses, the big reconcentrado
barracks in Havana, were too weak to
walk out of town and fell in the streets
or died in the suburbs, where flocks of
vultures, "Weyler's chickens," as they
are now termed in Havana, have feasted
on the remains.
In Matanzas, this feature of the situ
ation is equally distressing.
The fishermen who have been brought
here are soon reconciled to capture,
which here means food and decent
treatment. They say that if the block
ade continues muoh longer, bread riota
must follow in all the large towns, as
food is reserved exclusively for the
army, thus forcing many people to en
list who would not otherwise do so.
Finally, the fishermen say that cer
tain of the most desperate of the Span
iards threaten to burn Havana or blow
the city up in the event of the author
ities deciding to capitulate to the
American forces.
San Francisco, May 17.—Edouard
Remenyi, who has held royalty en
chanted and has enthralled fashionable
audiences all over the world, fell dead
this afternoon at the Orpheum theater,
in this city,while playing on his violin.
Engagement at Cardenas.
Madrid, May 17.—A dispatch from
Havana says: Three American war
ships have rebombarded Cardenas with
shell, and have destroyed the British
consulate. The Americans attempted
to land men and ammunition where
the cannonade was the hotest. The
Spaniards, however, were drawn up on
the shore and replied hotly to the
American fire, inflicting severe losses
to the enemy. Seven Spaniards were
wounded.
Whereabouts of the Spanish Fleet.
Curacoa, May 17. —The Spanish
cruisers Maria Teresa, Vizcaya, Almi
rante Oquendo and Cristobal Colon and
the torpedo-boat destroyers Pluton and
Terror, which arrived off the harbor
yesterday morning, are still heie.
Only the Maria Teresa and the Vizcaya
were admitted to the port. They have
brought coal, provisions and medicines
and will remain in port. The other
warships are outside waiting.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
trade Condition* In the Leading Cltlea
of the World.
[Reported by Downing. Hopkins 4C0.,1nc.,
Board of Trade Brokers, 711 to 714 Chamber of
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.]
A combination of circumstances has
been at work to make Letter's position
in wheat comparatively easy. Supplies
the world over are light, and the foreign
stocks are in such a condition that
France and Italy have been forced to
takeoff their import duty of 87c Spain
has prohibited exports and imports and
Germany and Austria are considering
the advisability of removing or reduc
ing their import duty. Admitting that
supplies are low and the price of bread
everywhere is high, flour being up to $7
per barrel, the question arises, does the
real condition of supply and demand
warrant an advance of 400 to 53c a
bushel in the leading markets in a week?
If so it must be admitted that prioes
have been too low for months. If there
is not manipulation behind it. Short
Boilers are chiefly responsible for the
advance, but, even taking into consid
eration the light stocks in store in Eu
rope, there is no sound argument in the
supply and demand theory, to sustain
$1.70 for wheat here, when it is consid
ered that over 40,000,000 bushels are
afloat for Europe, against 17,000,000
bushels a year ago. If all other grains
were equally scarce, there .might be
sound argument in the assertion that
wheat was worth fancy prices. Specu
lation is more responsible for these
prices than the actual demand, as values
are up to a famine point, and higher
than during the wild speculation that
prevailed at the time of and following
the close of the civil war, allowing for
the premium on gold. One dollar and
fifty cents for cash wheat in Liverpool
and $1.85 foi it in Chicago, when the
freight charges from Chicago to Liver
pool, which are about 80c, including
the oost of Belling there do not strike
the public as indicating a sound condi
tion.

;;* - '.Waterways In Russia.. '?.'* r ■
The Russian government will shortly
open a water route into the interior of
Russian Turkestan and thus furnish
the country with communication, and j
to some extent with water also. For
this purpose advantage will be taken
of a line of depressions or valleys ex
tending from a point on the lower
course of Amur-Daria river eastward
to the Caspian tsea.; ;■ A canal to the
Caspian can .be: built on a comparatively
easy line. The Russian: experience in
Turkestan has 'shown that the ancient
fertility of the country can be restored
by irrigation, and large shipments of
cotton are now made to Moscow.:' The
promising mineral | deposits | have also
been located and transportation in ad
dition to the present trans-Caspian
railroad is much needed.

again whether the engrafting of French and
German dishes upon the bills of fare of the
better class of American restaurants is or is
not an improvement. Many pretend that be
fore their Introduction our cooking was coarse,
barbaric This is an open question, but no bill
of fare presents attractions to the dyspeptic,
but they, like the bilious, malarious and per
sons with weak kidneys, Can be cered by Hos
