NEW YORK, January 18—The World prints an interview with Gen. Ruts Rivera, obtained in field near Cayelonoa, Pinar del Rio. In this interview Gen. Rivera says: “I do not wish to criticise our friends in “the United States, for I believe them (re- ferring to the junta) patriotic. men and striving to do their best for Cuba, but we here in Pinar del Rio have beef smewhat neglected. Great reliance was’ placéd upon Gen. Maceo, our_ beloved commander, and it was thought.that he could notconly de- feat the enemy in the province, but finally make a junction with Gome. ‘But he knew, and our friends should hayé known also, that four or five or ten thousand men, poorly armed, and most of the time with but scanty ammunition, could not prevail against 50,000 well-armed and well-fed troops. One or two small expdéditichs land- ed—one at Corrientes bay—but, otherwise, for nine months, we have been depending upon our strategy and knowlédge’ of the province to keep us out of a pitrhed battle. “Speaking with reference to cénnon. I wish it could be communicated to our friends in the United States :thatecannon are more in the way of ourseivesthan of the enemy in this province. -In-the first place they are inconvenient 16°take about over the hillgy,through the Jowlapd man- igua and among the woods. ‘The cannon we have now represent an outlay of $4,000 to $5,000, and yet almost, one thousand rifles could be purchased for that sum. ‘Of course, when we are in a position to assault Havana heavy guns will bea ne- cessity very hope. ~ “There Is certainly nothing to be gained by making statements that are untrue, or that I do not belive in myself. “It woull be wrong for me to give our friends in the United States the impression that we are perfectly able to take care of ourselves, no matter what happens. Indeed, now that you are here, representing a pa- per that kas been true to us from the be- ginning, I hope my statements will reach those who are endeavoring to aid us di- rectly and assist them in arriving at proper conclusions. “Some of my best friends may criticise me for speaking so plainly, but I wish the Cubans of New York, Philadelphia, Jack- sonviile and Key West to know that we here in Pinar de} Rio, lke our brothers of the orient, are willing to die for Cuba or to win. We cannot fight alone with our hands, nor ev2n with machetes, against an enemy that is fully equipped, fed and drilled. “We do not need men, and, above all, we do not want foreigners to come, unless they are men of military science. It is not, as you know, because of any lack of apprecia- tion for the sympathy or assistance of the fcreigner. We pray-and we thank God that the American nation exists, and we know and appreciate the great help it has been to us. “But we do not want young Americans to ceme to Cuba as fighters. Not one in ten krows a word of the language of our coun- try—a language we would change if we could, since we dislike everything Spanish. “There were, perhaps, forty or fifty Americans with Maceo when he entered this province, but I do not believe there are a half dozen of them left. “I do net know how General Gomez feels in this particular, but, as far as I am con- cerned, I do not want any foreigners. There are plenty of Cubans In the United States who should be, and I presume are, w-lling and anxious to come to the assist- ance of their fighting brethren. If men are to be sent let Cubans be the men. “But, as a matter of fact, we are not in reed of men at all. The whole native popu- lation 1s with us, and I am confident ar army of 50,000 could be placed in Havana province before the winter is over if we had but the arms and ammunition. Our Cubans are brave and patriotic and willing to die for our republic, put they are not crazy enough to face an enemy's bullets with empty hands. Tell the American peo- ple to give us 10,000 rifles and a supply of cartridges, and we will whip h—] out of Weyler and his trocha before the winter ends. “We have that many men waiting in the province who wish to take up arms: ae ni Things Worth Knowing, Every time a person ts confronted with some puzzling question the need of such a book as The Evening Star Almanac for 1897 is felt.

WORK TO BE DONE There was a large mass meeting yester- day afternoon, at the Metropolitan Church to consider the subject of District reforms, the special topic being Sunday rest and liquor sellirg. Charles Lyman, president of the reform bureau, presided, and on the platform with him were the speakers of the afternoon. After a praise and prayer service, led by Dr. J. G. Butler, Mr. Ly- man, explaining the object of the meeting, made a brief address, and said there are people who desired to have the Constitu- ticn of the United States amended so as to contain a distinct recognition therein of God. He was among those who believed that the Constitution already recognized God. Mr. Lyman introduced Bishop Satterlee, who made the leading address of the meet- ing. He said the name of God might not be written in the Constitution, but the psinciples of Christianity were there, so lorg as the people of this land were Christian people. The Sunday Law. Speaking of the Sunday law he said: “There is a great advantage in this Sunday law which it is proposed to enact simply for the reason that there is not a single Christian or religious word in it. We believe in the eternal separation of the church and state in this country. We must not foist our opinions or doc- trines on these who are of different opin- fons, and yet who are under the dominion of the same law. “I have heard this Sunday law described within the past week by a premineni leg- isiator as the most mojlerate on the sub- dect of Sunday he had ever seen. All men can unite so far as it is concerned. From beginning to end it speaks only of Sunday and Sunday rest. “We are foliowing out the line cf the first Sunday law that was ever enacted, that of Constantine, wherein it was pre- scribed that such and such things should hot be done on the great day of the Sun. We are following aso the precedent in the American Constitution.” ‘The bishop declared the law would work. The first part of it had been in force from 1864 to 1886, and to it we owe what quiet Wwe Now enjoy on Sunday. Speaking of the need of the law, he said that a few weeks ago he had gone down into the different alieys and streets east of 7th street and south of Pennsylvania avenue and found on a Sunday 317 places of business open. Of these 41 were groceries, and 23 beot and shoe stores. Work Accomplished. Rev. Wilbur. F. Crafts, superintendent of the reform bureau, was the next speaker. His subject was the “Progress of Reforms in All Lands.” Speaking of what had been accomplished, Mr. Crafts said: “Sweep the flashlight over the four years of the closing presidential quadrenni:m. y-four states have in that time im- their divorce iaws, and Congress S passed its first anti-divorce law by of this bureau. Three recent acts of Pres dent Cleve! those of us who are of a different pol , should be fi recognize as the greatest historical ac ments in the White House since the war, mely, the May order completing civ’ service reform, the Christian Thanksgivi proclamation, the first in our histor: the international Anglo-Saxon treaty arbitration. “4 ng the searchlight over the year quarters of the present congre sional biennium, we note that this Congres has already outdone all its recent pred cessors in legislation for moral and social reforms, having passed an anti-prize fight law, an anti-divorce law and an immigra- tion-restriction law, besides defeating a race gambling law. ‘There are five reform mea: ures besides that haye passed one hous and four more that have been approved by committee, or Commissioners, or both, all of which J believe will pass if those who desire will express public sentiment in their behalf promptly by petitions and personal letters. : The Sunday Mai In this biennial period, nineteen siates have raised the age of protection for girls, most of them not adequately, but all up- ward. This sheaf: of victories we hope is to be capped by Congress raising the age te eighteen in this District. In fourteen legislative bodies the question of gambling has been up and in all save New York and Missouri—in Congress by aid of the bu- reau—ihe gamblers have been routed. Pugi- lists have been driven hither and thither by cabinet and Congress, by governors and legislatures, with no favors except in New Ycrk. Temperance has added four states to the roll of temperance education in about a year past and carried two bills by large majorities through the lower house of Congress. As for the Sabbati, its greatest gain has been the act of Postmaster Gen- eral Wilson, a Christian statesman, in re- storing Mr. Wanamaker's local option plan of closing post offices on the Sabbath wherever a majority of the adult receivers of mail so request. My suggestion at the Washington Endeavor convention that this should be the specialty of young people's societies all over the land this year has been accepted officially, so far as the En- deavor headquarters are concerned, and all the various young pcople’s societies are in @ measure co-operating, the bureau supply- ing them freely with a beautiful badge for each ‘Lord’s day committee.’ I hope something will be done at least to lessen Sunday work in the postal service here in Washington, where it is greater, 1 be- Neve, than anywhere else.” Qfher Addressen, Rev. Hugh T. Johnston spoke of the pecu- niary aid necessary for the work of the bureau, and a collection was taken up. W. H. Pennell of the Christian Endeavor citi- zenship committee spoke in favor of the Littie bill to prohibit the sale of liquor in the Caprtol building. Mr. J. L. Ewin of the Anti-Saloon League spoke of the pro- visions cf the Morse bill, to amend the District liquor law. Mrs. M. B. Platt and Mrs. Ellis, superintendent of the anti- gambling department of the W. C. T. U., aiso spoke in behalf of the bill raising the age of protection for girls: in the District of Columbia to eighteen, and the interstate anti-gambling bill. a G of Thieves. The police are in the belief that a regu- larly organized and dangerous gang of thieves was broken up by the arrest Fri- day afternoon of Elijah Lewis and Thomas Kidwell. The. arrests were made by De- tectives Horne and Weedon, Sergt. Daley and Policeman Anderson, and a large quan- tity of stolen goods recovered from vacant houses in Van street. In the Police Court Saturday the men were convicted in four cases of larceny, the complainants being John W. Simpson of | 1382 4% street, Mrs. Kate Mack of 1350 4% street, Edward. White of 4% and O streets and George E. Davis of Twining City. The sentence imposed by Judge Miller was 120 days in jail each in each case, or a total of 480 days each. ———— Architectural Club.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The petition now. being circulated against the street hawking and sale of newspapers must have been very annoying to Miss Clara Bell Brown, or she would never have Farther thought of it as proposing to abolish news sales or as requiring anybody to wash his hands. No doubt the Commissioners would now be glad tc wash their hands of this whole matter, but they have put not only their hands but their feet in it, and can't get them out gracefully. To show just what that petition does ask I hope you will print it in full. It is not long. G. M. WOOD. The petition is as follows: “To the enor Commissioners of the of ym bia: Peiien the undersigned’ citizens and resi- dents of the District of Columbia, having been informed that your honorabie board has issved or is about to issue an order forbidding the crying of newspapers in the streets of Washington on Sundays, beg leave to present the following répresenta- tions of facts and petition: ‘That the public crying or -hawking of newspapers, like the hawking of any other things for sale, is a public annoy- , not only on Sundays, but on all days, adding castes cries and clamor to the other noises of the streets and thereby in- creasing the peril of pedestrians from pass- ing vehicles, = well as disturbing the sick the oki a That the practice As! pelle cena papers on the streets not only preven: great number of boys from attending school or receiving proper manual training, but fosters a kind of life which tends to acct hawking and sale of ne unnecessary to the public ~ being already many places ‘which newspapers are sold, and hawking of a amended an@ extended ‘as to forbid such hawking on any day, and that the street venders in the city of Washington be al- together prohibited.” suggestion contained in ‘a-former com- 623 13TH ST. N.W. one, writes to The Star on th follows: Serena “We have at last heard from the mean- est man, Mr. G. M. Wood, whose effeminate refinement and delicacy is being daily shocked by the earnest endeavors of the newsboys to earn a living. I am anxious to sign that petition to the Commissioners, so that the life so precious to himself may be spared. I have dealings with two little newsboys (brothers). In reply to a remark that John was stouter than James, the lat- ter replied, “But he gets two meals a day.” John is the baby, therefore his good for- tune. But to the main point. Will Woeod have his picture taken for The St I have a morbid craving to study the faces of those remarkably distinguished in any way.” From a Newsboy. To the Editor of The Evening Star: “These people who are now talking about the newsboys waking them up on Sunday mornings are regular nuisances. They don’t care about anybody else so they get their own ends accomplished. I am a newsboy, and sell papers every day and Sunday, and what I make off papers I have to support four People beside myself, £0 you know I have to hustle. And if there were no Sunday papers I would have to Starve, because 1 make on that day as much as I would make in three week days, and if we are not allowed to make our presence known in the neighborhood or street we are in, how in the world do you think the people are going to know where we are, and who we are. Some people will wait at their window in the summer time for a newsboy to come around, but it is different this kind of weather. The people ain’t going to sit at the window and freeze out for a newsboy to come around the corner. They wait till they heer us call out our papers and then come and buy them and go back to bed again. I have left New York papers at rich people's O'clock and ask for the paper money, they ° an paper money, they tell me,I d.dn’t leave them any, and I had gave 1 the papers myself, and if I would tell him I did leave it, he would get me arrested for accusing him for ‘B80 you see what the newsboys have to take writing and spelling, because I never went
