SPAIN'S NEEVK.
The Spaulardi Grab EyertUIng Movable la
Western Cuba.
By tho Associated Press.
Havana, via Key West, Fla., Ool. 23.
Pszy Libertad, one ot the daily papers
of Cienfueffos published with the sanc
tion ot the eoverumeot priuts a mani
festo with over 300 Bigoatures, a great
many of which are those of Spaniards,
openly proclaiming Cuban independ
ence. Owing to tbe fact that Spanish officers
are selling commissary stores at any
price obtainable the army supplies are
now a drug in tbe market in the interior,
making legitimate trade impossible. It
is asserted as the Spanish rale in Cuba
draws to a olose oorruptlon and robbery
daily beoome more open and wholesale.
Tbe committee of transportation charged
with furnishing passage tickets to Span
isb offloers returning to Spain, is charg
ing ai arbitrary rate ot $4 eaob ior a
berth. If the viotim refuses to give np
he is made to wait for several steamers,
tbe commission claiming tbere is no
room. The officer then pays tbe tax and
gets away generally. This abuse is
openly spoken ot bat tbe preseut situ
ation is a free-for all, grab-as-grab-oan
game and everyone appears eater to
make money while the Hoaniah aim
sbicea.
Tbe official report of the burials in
the city of Havana sinoe the first of the
present year shows tbat tbere have been
16,821 intermente. The averaoa dnath
rate keeps on steadily at 47 per day.
Great dlsconteut prevails anions tha
Spanisi troopa beoauseof non payments,
in some oases for six months, in others
for seven months, and still others for
even eight months, aod tbe soldier
fear tbat they will be embarked tot
Spain without receiving their pay. The
poor quality of food supplied to nearly
all the soldiers has occasioned muoh 111
feeling aod serious insurbordination l
feared in several localities. Io the Dm
viooe of Puerto Principe, of the 400
members of the oivil guards 800 bare
deserted and gone over to the Insurg
ents, At Nuevitaa the Tarragona
battalion became insubordinate and at
tempted to join tbe insurgents on ac
count ot the short rations and the
wretebfld quality ot tbe food supplied
by tbeir chief, Qeneral Marob, in com
mand iu tbat province. On learning ol
this ooourrenoe be went to Nuevitaa and
succeeded in quieting tba soldiers by
furnishing them with good, plentiful
ratiiMjs. Mao- soJJisrs aatil moat!?
were deserting but Qeneral Blanco's d-
oree regaidiog disbaudment bas putt
stop to the defections. Over 500 soldiers
have been mustered out since the Issu
ance ot tbe decree.
The sanitary brigades of Qavaoa, Ou
anabacoa, Begla and Qunci, with sever,
al other localities in Havana province,
bava petitioned Gen. Blanco tbat they
be d.sbanded so tbat they rerualo in tbe
island.
Over 400 ot tba 700 members of tba Or

tbey be mustered out tn order tbat tbsy

FERGUSON COMING HOME.
He Writes Interestingly of the Philippines
and the Insurgents.
East Oregonian,
Manila, Philippine Islands, 8epl. 16.
The orisia has now passed in our
trouble with the insurgents, which has
been oooupying the attention of bolh
officers and soldiers since onr entry into
tbe city. All were wondering what the
outoome would be and now that it has
resulted peaoeably consequently feel
muoh relieved. General Otis sent
Aguinaldo word that be would have to
withdraw his troops from their positions
in and around tbe oitv bv the 15th of
September or he was prepared to ue
both the land and naval foroes ot the
United States to effect their removal.
They were growing unbearable. 8ome
ooonpied quarters almost within tba
heart of the city and were toroibly col
lecting subscriptions and contributions
for the benefit of the insurgent army
(which the insurgent army never got
hold of) and on tbe refusal of the Fili
pino venders and merchants to contrib
ute wbat the colleotor considered was
his share, his place of business and him
self would be very rougly bandied.
Night assaults by insurgents were re
ported at headquarters and polioe sta
tions every morning aod looting and
thieving was oarried on by them contin
uously. Several of them were killed by
the American sentries during their raids,
whioh finally had the effeot ot checking
somewhat tbeir marauding.
Last Tuesday tbey all paoked up and
marohsd inland 20 miles, where tbey
have established beaduuarters and hava
decided to await tbe action ot the Amer
ican government with regard to the fa
lure ot tbe Philippines. They swear tbo
Spanish oan never rule tbe islands ajain
and nearly every day reports come io ot
their suooeseet against tha Spanish
foroes stationed on tbe other islands and
in the oities further inland. They ara
keeping right 'at it and before long will
