I At present the Bank of England is HAVANA. Oct. . Several hundred persons. Including a large number of teamsters, have made offers to Sir Griffith, acting British consul general. of their service in South Africa. Some of these persons are English but a ma jority of then are Americans. They have no organizations and the offers are seldom made by more than three persons tog t her. An attempt will shortly be made to connect Havana and Key West by the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy. It is claimed that if this is successful It will reduce the expense of cabling tc New York more than one half. El Epoca says contact with a race which does not tolerate the shirking of dally labor and among which before everything, a man Is the legitimate child of his own merits and his own deeds, must be to us a powerful stlmu lent for discarding once and forever the accumulation of habits which con stitute the unfortunate inheritance of a regime based upon the exploitation of the negro by the white, and all by the government. "The sanitation of our cities by American methods has been productive of untold benefits and who I capable of calculating the benefits which will be obtained by the cleansing of our con science?" Regarding the remarks of Senor Col lazo about the Cubans pulverizing a European power, the Epoca says: Jf forty years hence we shall all be willing to confess that, while we were able to gain victories over hunger, thirst, weariness and the rigors of the climate, to the American army and navy Is due the victory over the Span l.ih, why not be honest and confess It now?"

ImjHirittioo of Arms Korbiddem by Berlin Treat) -All Three Nations Represented by Wr Vessels ivkh, uoi. a. a special to the Herald from Washington says: Soro apprehension is felt In official circle over the condition of affairs pre vailing In StniH. Th state department is without com plet advice from Consul Oeneral Os born regarding the situation, but suffi cient la known to make Uw authorities understand that the native are ag.dn plotting. It Is not belltved, howvver, that there will be a return of th light ing which occurred last April unless there has been a heavy Importation of arms, which is expressly forbidden by the provisions of the Berlin treaty. It will be recalled that when the ladser returned from Samoa, she brought In her hold 1W0 ritles belong ing to the native. These rifles are now In the armory at Mar Island. Cal. awaiting the disposition of Orvat Britain, Germany and the United Stales. All thrve nations are represented by men of war in Samoa waters. The United State has the auxiliary cruiser Aterend. under the command of Commander Tllley. The Aberenda was nt to Apia particularly to facilitate th establishment of a coaling station at Pango-Pango, but it Is presumed that Commander Tllley has made ar rangements to communicate with Con sul tloneral Osborn. and that In esse of. trouble she will take stntlon at Apia and provide protection for Amer ican Interests. The charge Is renewed that Germans In the island are spreading dlssatlsfac lion among the natives and It would not be surprising If certain of these men are plotting with Mataafv who has remained In Samoa. The three governments have not for mally adopted the recommendation of the high Joint commission which In vestlgated the Samoa question, nor are negotiations looking to this end Ilk ly to be set on foot until the return of Secretary Hay.
