New Yotk, Sept. 20. — William Willis Howard, general manager of the Cuban industrial lelief fund, ami who has lecently returned from Cuba, says: “Cuba ie in a pitiful state. Instead of a rainy season, Cuba has had a drought. Not since 1844 has there been such long-continued dry weather during the summer. The result has been disastrous. The United States weather bureau reports that all small crops have been ruined. Sugar cane lias been so damaged that the crop next year will be less than the crop ground this year. “The most distressing featuie of the drought is the destruction of the corn crop. Even under favorable circum stances, the corn crop would have been small, for it was planted in driblets, here and there. Tlie weather bureau reports show that the corn crop will yield not more than 5 per cent. On our relief farms we have better coin than any I have seen in Cuba, due no doubt to the fact that we put more la bor on the growing crop than anyone else was able to do. “Business in tiie cities is desperately dull. The hotels are empty, restaurants idle and all small affairs are lifeless. Large business concerns are scraping along as best they may, in the hope that the future of the island may be definitely settled. “In the country the desolation wrought by war and weather still con tinues without abatement.” MASSING ON THE BORDER. Boen Preparing for th© Defense of tlie Republic. London, Sept. 20.—The special dis patches from South Africa confirm the reports telegraphed yesterday that the Boers are massing artillery in positions commanding Laing’s Nek. Small Boer detachments occupy positions abcve Buffalo river. The members of the afnkanderbund in Cape Town intend to convene the bund in congiess to consider the situa tion. A Bloemfontein paper reports the dismissal of several Englishmen from the Bloemfontein police force, because of tl-eir refusal to serve on the com mand. The general apprehension in regard to the outcome was reflected by the de cline in consols and stocks on the Lon don stock exchange, where, although all stocks continued depressed, there was not the slightest approach to ex citement. The text of President Kruger’s reply was issued by Seoretary Chamberlain this afternoon. The language in many places is taken to indicate a film, un yielding position. The reply, how ever, concludes: “If her majesty’s government is willing, and leels able to make this de cision a joint commission, as at first proposed by Chamberlain, it would put an end to the present state of tension. Race hatred would decrease and die out, and the prosperity and welfare of the South African republic and the whole of South Africa would be devel oped and furthered, and fraternization would increase.” ALGER OUT OF Withdraw« From the Race for United State« Senator. Detroit Mich., Sept. 20.—General R. A. Alger today gave out a letter written by himself in New York, Sep tember 8, in which he announces hie withdrawal from the candidacy for United States senator. The letter fol lows: “The Waldorf-Astoria, New York, Sept. 8, 1899.—My Dear Mr. Judson: After careful consideiation I have de cided not to be a candidate for the United States senate. My reasons for this determination are personal and of a business nature. I fully appreciate and thank you and my many other friends who offered support, and hope to be able in the future to show my giatitude for all that has been done for me by the people of our state. 1 am, my dear sir, sincerly yours, “R. A. ALGER. “Hon. William Judson, Ann Arbor, Mich.” General Alger declined to say any thing further concerning his wiiiid al than was contained in the letter SUPPLIES FOR SHIPS. Transports Will Come to Portland Al ready Fitted Out. Washington, Sept. 30. — It is stated at the quartermaster’s department that the request to have the ships that are to carry the Thirty-fifth regiment from Portland to Manila chartered and fitted out at Portland cannot be granted be cause the ships must be fitted out un der the direction of officers having charge of such work at San Francisco; also that the men who understand the work are employed at the latter place, and it would not be practicable to send them to Portland.
