The Picayune of that city tells the story.

Key West, March 10. Senator Proc tor, of Vermont, who has bem making a study of Cuba with Col. Parker, ar rived this morning and was shown to Admiral Sicard's room. Proctor was closeted with him several hours. The object of the interview was presumably to deliver to the Admiral some mes sages from Captain Converse of the Montgomery, who is an old Vermonter. Senator Proctor referred alt the news paper correspondents to Col. Parker, who therefore spoke authoratively on Senator Proctor's visit to Cuba to ex amine personally into the situation. Col, Parker said; "Senator Proctor's trip is a personal one The famine, des titution and suffering of the reeoncen trados Is almost indescribable. Alcalde of Matanzas told me that fifty-live thousand persons died of starvation during the year past and five thousand and six hundred during February.

One consul, Magar, at Cien fuegos, who keeps Spanish sympathy, says that the reconcentrados are dying from eating too much. He will not be given further supplies. "When we were entering a hotel two Spanish officers standing at the door said, 'I should like to have an order to kill those people.' Every American In Cuba is watched as if he was a crimi nal. "Kvery one In Havana now knows that the Maine was blown up by the Spaniards; they do not deny it or be very sad on account of it. "Ocneral Lee is a grand man. He is a hero in constant danger of assassina tion. "Havana is calm today. The calm ness is a suppressed feeling before the storm. "Are we going to have war? Well, I shall be surprised!"

MYSTERIOUS TUNNEL A Raleigh L;idy Divulges ail Important, Secret. MRS. HUNTKR TALKS She Hasa Photograph ot the t'mrnnce u the Sub-Marino Mines at Ifevami Which the Spaniard Dented I xJsttti. A North Carolina lady, who lived near this city before going to Texas has made an Important revelation. The San Antonio, Texas, Express of March 4th says: f Evidence has just been brought to light in this city of the existence in !s;4 of a tunnel extending from Morro Cas tle, In Havana, several milvs out under the Havana harbor. The evidence consists of a photograph of the entrance to the tunnel and the relation of detailed information on the subject by Mrs. Lucy O. Hunter, as it was told to her by hr late husband. Dr. George L. Hunter, who himself penetrated the tunnel for several miles, and had the picture of the cntranee made. Mrs. Hunter has lived In this city for several years, and her home is at 220 San Pedro avenue. Dr. Hunter was devoted to scientific pursuits and the acquirement of knowledge, and as he possessed considerable wealth he spent much of his time in travel and study. In 1S54, before his marriage, he went to Cuba and remained in Havana sev eral months. He contracted yellow fever there and his stay was prolonged by his sickness. While in Havana Dr. Hunter became acquainted with many prominent -it i -zens and army officers and formed a close friendship with several oi'tieern connected with Morro Castle. They ex tended him many courtesies, and dual ly became so intimate with him as to impart to him the secret of El Mono. They told him of the tunnel bene.it h the waters of Havana harbor and al lowed him to explore it. Dr. Hunter followed the tunnel for several miles, and found that i! branched out into an extensive and in tricate series of sub-passages, inwr ing a large area of the bed of the bay. At some points the top of the pas sage was so close to the bottom of the bay that he could hear the v. uters booming above him. The entrance to th". tunnel was a large save extending partly un;. r K' Morro and partly out beneath the !rt . Ir. Hunter secured a pSioiogrnph the entrance which had been taken from inside the tunnel. Stalactites hanging from the ton of the cave are shown in the picture. According to a label on the photograph by the firm of Frf"drh h was made CO., who pla;iap!i- were probably tre- I !;-.;; ers. When he marri' !. I; iiMiit-r his wife all he had le.utied of this re markable submarine ; sssige and when he died he left his phoiographic proof of its existence in h-r possession. Tt will be remembered that shortly after the battleship Maine was blown tip the statement was made that the Spaniards had submarine passages un der Havana harbor. Tin- Spanish au thorities promptly deni-d this, and stated that if a tunnel had ever existed beneath the harbor lln entrance to it had long since bet n elo-d up and all traces of it lost. It was on account of this denial that Mrs. Hunter gave out the important inhumation she pos sesses on the point. Mrs. Hunter is a North Carolinians, having formerly lived near Raleigh. Observer.
