Nothing can be done without a deal of
talk, and Boston is talking very industri-
ously, but not at all too soon, about its
fire department and its method of extin-
gushing fires. The matter has come to
such point that something must be done
besides talk. At hearing before the city
government, Mr.. Shattuck said that the
amount of insurance rates had been in
creased more than 100000 in one year
in the city, and, counting the premiums
paid outside the city, the increase now
amounting to $1,500,O0O. Everybody has
plan, but nothing has yet been decided

touched on the Cuban question, arraigning
the administration for coldness towards

[From the San Luis Obsipo Tribunel
We learn that an unusual and very excl
ting contest took place at the ranch of
Ramon Feliz, on the Moro creek, about
fourteen miles from this place, one morn
ing last week. 1t seems that Mr.. Feliz,
shortly after getting up in the morning,
went out to feed his stock, and that soon
after he was startled by the cries OF his
wife and family. Running to the house he
found that a large wildcat had seized his
youngest child, an infant, by the back of
the neck and was making off with it,.
After severe struggle he succeeded in res
cuing it, the cat making its escape. Some
time after the excitement had subsided, an
Indian boy about Is years old went out to
bring in some horses that had been staked
out over night some distance from the
house. He had been gone but few minu-
tes when the family was again aroused by
the cries of the boy, who came rushing to-
ward the house yelling like madman,
with the identical cat that had caused the
first disturbance firmly seated upon his
back, with its teeth embedded in
the back of his neck. Another

cessfully cleaned out the whole Feliz fam
lily, killed their two dogs and retreated in
good order to the house of Il. M. Howe
under which he ensconced himself, defying
all efforts to dislodge him until night, when
it escaped unscathed. The wounds re-
ceived by the Indian boy were quite severe
and the good people, fearing that the cal
