He is well known in this city, and the thrilling story he told a Star reporter today will be of deep inter- st. He said: I left for Cuba feeling that, because of the contradictory and often incredible re- ports from there, the cendition of affairs Ss an absolute blank to my mind. 1 found a state of affairs which I do not be- lieve anything I can sey will enable the reader to reaiize.

I say that the official register of that cit which in peace contains about 14,000 pe pie, shows a death list of November of ever a thousand, and for Decemoer, in- clvding the 20th only, the day before I was there, of 971. “As there are twelve months in the year you may judge from this of the effect of the concentration at Santa Clara. I talked there with the registrar, who is also a lawyer and judge of the court, and the facts which I have just stated seem to rx to tell the whole story £9 far as mere statistics can do so. An official of that place who has a plantation told me that he had sent some reconcentrados a few miles out to his place to take charge of it, and that a colonel of guerrillas, with his troop, had come along and ordered them back to town. Practically No Relief Measures. “As I was informed on all sides that the troeps were six, en or eight months in arrears as to their pay, and the civil cfti- cials in little or no better predicament, and was informed in a way that left no doubt in my mind that contractors were re- fusing in some cases to furnish supplies for the troops, I have no doubt that the be intentions on the part of the Spanish, if they have them, would net supply the needs of the starving population. Every one speaks of Blanco as a better man than Weyler, and it is quite possible t for reasons of kindness or policy. if Spa had a full instead of an empty ‘treasury, something would be done. But practi: cally nothing is being done for the re- lief of this vast number of suffering human beings, who are Americans of very old American stock, largely imbued with Amer- ican ideas, and are living six hours by beat from the American city of Key West in a country which may be regarded, geographi- cally, as an extension of Florid Even the Spanish ‘scldiers are suffering for want of food, to say nothing of smallpox, beri- beri, dysentery and other di: In two of the hospitals on the water's edge at Havana 2,700 of them were sick when 1 left, many cf whom had been dying of yellow fever in the same great open build- ing with these suffering frem other dis- e: It must be remembered that the Spanish soldier is a subject, not a citizen.

In presenting the resolution referred to in reference to the inferior courts, Mr. Churen, who is himself a justice of the peice, stated that there are a number of bad features connected with the existing system.

The bill provides that in all proceedings hereafter instituted before any justice of the peace in the Dis- trict of Columbia, wherein the amount claimed to be due, or the value of the prop- erty sought to be recovered, exceeds tie sum of $100, jurisdiction is hereby con- ferred upon the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia to issue a writ of certio- rari upon the ground of its concurrent jur- isdiction to bring up the record of such pro- ceeding. Such writ shall be issued by a justice of said court whenever the petitioner shall present and file with his petition his affi- davit stating that his application is not for the purpose of delay, but solely because he believes he has a just and meritorious de- fense to the plaintiff's claim, either in whole or in part, and, if to a part only, then stating to what part thereof. Whenever a cause shal! be thus removed from a justice of the peace on the ground of concurrent jurisdiction of the said Su- preme Court of the District of Columbia, the subsequent proceedings in respect of the docketing and trial thereof shall be the same as is now by law or rule of court provided in cases of appeals from justiccs of the peace.
