Cuban JiiPinrcfntu DoMroylnj; I'lnntntlnni and AVrrcklnjr ltrldcr. Kf.v Wkst, Fla Oct. 14. Anarchy practically prevails on the island of Cnba according to letters received here.

It seems to bo tho determination of tho insur gents to destroy everything that would nid Spuln in sustaining her army. In carrying out litis policy the torch is being applied to the sugar plantations. In Santa Clara province nlono six of tho largest plantations have been burned. Tho torch has also been ap plied to tho tobacco fields in certain districts. If the insurgents continue this policy, Jt will bo but u short time until thcro will bo nothing loit in Cuba on which to sustain nn army. The mall service is completely demoralized. Tho insurgents havo waylaid and taken many mall carriers, hoping to capture important dispatches. Tho curriers havo become terrorized, and scores have resigned. Recently two Spanish mall carriers wero captured by insurgents under Maceo and hanged. So great is the fear of tho carriers that none will venture forth unless accom panied by armed guards. Whenever a carrier .star'-s with an important dis patch he is escorted by u company of soldiers. From the penal colonies in Southern Spain a battalion of criminals has been organized nnd ploced under tho cont mund of Colonel Garrido, who butchered tho sick insurgents a fow weeks ago. This battalion is known as tho "squadron of death," because it lias earned tho title by killing women and children as well us tho inmates of hospitals. Garrido, with his force will enter a vlllago and place tho wo men and children in front of them as a breastwork; then, when the Cubans come, thoy will daro them to tiro, but will themselves shoot over the wo men's heads. -t""--i .

M ml rlil Much Kxcltcil. Yashinhton, Oct. 12. A cable mes sage from Madrid received here early this morning said that it was roported thero on tho best of authority that tho American government had notified tho Spanish minister at Washington that it was necessary for Spain to act promptly in crushing the Cuban in surrection, and that the report caused a profound sensation in Madrid. Tho truth of tho report cannot bo confirmed at tho stato department Tho officials, when approached, would neither affirm nor deny tho story, though their manner would indicate disapproval of its accuracy. It is be lieved quite probable that representa tions may have been mado to Spain of tho wisdom of uggressfve and active operations against tho Cuban insurg ents, but it is thought that tho United States government did not make thoso suggestions, and that, if made, thoy came from Minister DcLumo nntt were based on Ills personal views of the situation and on his observation of the trend of sentiment iu the United States and his knowledge of tho pur pose of tho friends of tho insurgents to press their cause vigorously soon aftet tho assembling of congress. Daily events point strongly to a de termination to force the question on tho uttcntion of congress in tho belief that tho legislative channel affords tho most practicable route to tho ac complishment of something in behalf of Cuban independence, tho executive branch of tho government, in the very nature of things, heinir more con strained Jnjtsaptlon than tho-Jegisla iivo department. Senor DcLorae left hero to-day on a very early train, and therefore "no In formation could bo gained from him concerning the Madrid dispatch, TUB POLICY OP THIS COlXTItY. Senor DoLouie, the Spanish m'n istcr, had a short interview with Secretary Ulney yesterday, nnd in the courso of their conversation tho min ister, perhaps in answer to the secre tary's inquiry, mado a statement that operations in Cuba would bo conducted with greater vigor hereafter. As the president must certainly make somo reference to tho insurrection in his annual message to congress when it ! meets in December, it would be but natural that Secretary Olney, upon whom ho must rely for his informa tion, should take stops to gather data upon which to base a judgment of probable future events. "Whllo it is true that President Grant did, as indicated in his messuges to congress, entertain a belief that inter vention in the then progressing rebel lion in Cuba would bo justifiable, this view was never acceptable to Secre tary Fish, and it lias not scoured tho adherence of international luwyors. Tho whole weight of authority is de cidedly adverse to the assertion by a neutral nation of a right to say when war between two combatants has progressed to a point where it must be stopped. Jt may bo recalled that some such proposition was mado during the last stages of tho China-Japanese war. but it never went further than tho oxeroise of tho good offices of tho interested nations to bring about neaco, which function is entirely distinct from direet interven tion. Tho question is also separate from that of the recognition of tho belligerence of tho insurgents, which, according to American policy and practice, must be determined purely by the facts in each case.

Ono document showed her to bo tho owner of prop erty at tho corner of Washington and Avon streets, Jtoston, which rays a rental of $1,000 a month. In addition to tho money nnd the hank books thero were dresses of the most stylish and cxpensivo goods, covered with jewels and old laces. Many of these gowns would easily re ceive a valuation of 81,000 each. All the chamber closets and wardrobes were filled with these expensive gowns and none of them have ever been worn. The servants were never permitted to enter the room in which tho treas ure was found, though thero was no special effort to secure protection from thieves. There were over S30o, 000 of negotiable securities in that room guarded only by an old woman and four women servants. Nobody dreamed that it was there, so the vast sum was Fcr-nre. , MRS.

Mrs. James Brown Potter lias mado publiu her reasons for leaving her home for a liftrmiUIa-.t4tr!- Iiv-an-lHtcrvieW'shu said: '1 have never for one moment re gretted going upon tho stage; neither have I ever cast one longing look hack at the old society days, nor even thought with pleasure of tho so-called social triumph I was said to havo made. I look upon thoso things as hollow and utterly vapid; th'ey mean absolutely nothing. It is nine years since I left New York, and f have lost all interest in tho city's social sot Indeed, I caro as little for them as they caro for me. First of all, let mo say that I was much amused at something said in tho papers a few days ago about Mr. James lirown Pot ter s posing as a saint, keeping his home ready for my return at auy time 1 choso to como back. It is very nleo of Mr. Potter to express such sickly sentiment. That house and home Imp pens to be mine, as well as everything in tho house. It was given to me bv Pierro Lorlllnrd for tho sueoe.ssfijl work I did in getting people to joltt tho Tuxedo club. "My Ideas of life and thoso of tho Potters were at vnriance. I was brought up to think that life was real and that love ruled the world. The Potters lived only for outside show, always seemed to bo afraid to .i pear natural and wero always at swords' points with one another. There w as nothing natural, nothing genuine in this new life I wns lea ling. All was conventional, all surface. My enthusi asm and naturalness were chilled by tho Potters. My success in privato theatricals paved tho way to some thing better, and ono day. siek and weary of all the mockery, tired of tho constant J'nnt-Hnding to which I was compelled to submit, tired of going out with a smiling faccand a breaking heart, tired of tho snubs of the Pot ters, who aro always jealous ot each other, tired of genteel poverty, I walked out of that home Mr. Potter is keeping for mo nnd left everything be hind me. I have ncverbeen permitted to go back to get my belongings, and not even as much as a pair of sieevo buttons has ever been sent me.
