CUBANs ON THEIR MUSCLE
Fatal Riots in San Christobei and
MatanZaS.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Nov. 23.-The
steainsniy Olivette Of the Plant COM
pany, arrived at Key West to-day di-
reciIy from Havana and brings reliable
information concerning the troubles
there which are of riOtOus rather than
of an insurrectionary character. The
Times-UniOn special correspondent at
Key West sends the following tonight:
Cuban disturbance is confined to riots in
San Cristobel, owing to differences arising
among aldermen there relative to the en-
forcement of city ordinance. The mayor
called out the military. and the riot was
quelled after two men had been killed. and
several others wounded. All other par
ticipants were arrested. On Nov. II
at Matanzas the military interfered
with the civil authorities. which so incensed
the latter that riot ensued. The two regi-
ments of Spanish soldiers met during the
riot OH the street and fought, creating much
excitement. The fight became general. and
one officer and three men were killed and
many more wounded Trouble still exists in
and around Matanzas. though no serious
fighting has occurred since Tuesday.

PRESENT 70 SiBILITIES
And Future Preparations OF the
City Water Service.

The present lake system of the water
supply is perhaps very generally under
stood, but to aid the public in a more
thorough comprehension, glance at
the accompanying map will be of benefit.
The main system is N, t a new one. 1t
began with Lake Phalen, from whence
water was brought by gravity and dis
tributed over the low-lying portions of
the city. This was followed by the ad-
ditian of Lake Vadnais and the building
of The great conduit, how the life of the
service. The conduit was supplemented
by two reservoirs of 30.O0O.OOO and 49,
OJ0.OOO gallons capacity respectively. for
the high and low service Ito relieve
the conduit in case of accident,
cleansing or repairs), and the
necessary pumping stations. The
addition of other lakes, from time to
time, by the cutting OF channels, is
matter of public knowledge. until finally
system was completed including ten
large clear lakes and draining a water
shed of upwards of fifty square miles.
1t is from this source that the present
city supply comes, and it is practically
inexhaustible. Even with the deter
TENT eUecLS OI Tue uTy6SG year In the
last thirty, no difficulty has been ex-
peiienced in maintaining the conduit
full, though the water levels in the lake
have been reduced. The capacity of
the conduit is nearly 40OOO.O0O gallons,
and with the gates opened it could be
filled within two hours. The daily con-
sumption of the city averages 5000, 600
gallons. so IL Is apparent the conduit,
without dla wing upon any impounded
supply, would suffice for five days'
consumption. or for the daily consump-
ton of a city of 1,OOO.OOO inhabitants.
When the first report was made in 1892.
under the purchasing act, it was stated
that the preparations then made, under
completed surveys, would supply city
of l,OO0,OOO people. Since then the ca
pacity, neither of supplying nor i'm
pounding. has been taxed at no single
time; OH the contrary, the accumulla-
tiOn has been suffered to waste for the
want of storage capacity in the lakes.
The map shows that the water supply

only on this question, new light may
be thrown. 1t was in this contingency
that tile matter has been discussed. and
it was this tnat led to the suggestion of
tapping Mile Lacs, the second finest
sheet of water in the state.
IL may be set down as
certainty that If st. Paul
alone is considered. no one now living
will see a system of water supply from
Mile Lacs. Aside from the want of
necessity, the possibility is barred by
three thingS-distance. expense and the
existence of better means. less expen-
sive and nearer at hand. The accom-
panying map SHOWS a suppoSitiIious con-
duit from Mile Lees and one from the
St. CruiX, above TaylOr's Falls. Mile
Laos is about 500 feet above the level of
Vadnais, and in case conduit were
built Vadnais would become tie reser-
vOir and distributing point. In the
diagram the conduit is comparatively
straight line and twice crUsses Rum
river. Engineers are unanimous IN
saying that it would cost less to cross
the river-above it-than to increase
the distance by curve. From the
best of information Obtainable the
length of such cnduit would be
nearly 100 miles. The estimates of cost
vary. The present conduit cost $780,
600 per mile, and at this rate a Mile
Lacs conduit would foot up the mag
niticent total of So, ,O0G, 900. or five times
the entire cost of the present water
system.
If st. CrOix water is desired, as was
suggested, the river must be tapped
above TaylOr's Falls. to avoid cOntami-
nation of lumi'ering operations. The
level of the river there is very little
above the Mississippi at st. Paul, and a
pumping station would be the first req
ulsite. The distance is nearly forty
miles. and the cost of the necessary con-
duit. on the same basis. would be
a. 200, 900. But both of these schemes
are smiled at by the water board Of
ficials as chimerical. 1t is agreed that if
a Joint and new water supply became
necessary, the best plan would be to
pump it from the Mississippi, below
AnOka.
In ST. Paul, city water is consumed by
about 80 per cent of the population.
The high ground on the West side, and
the expense of laying mains through
the rocky ground of the Fifth ward, are
responsible for much of this. In Min
meapOlIs, fewer than 40 per cent of the
total popu alton uses city water. though
the percentage is decidedly on the in
crease. If the Flour City could have St.

BEST ON EARTH.
All Reflections ON the Purity of
Minnesota Water Are ISLANDERS

All Reflections ON the Purity Of
Minnesota Water Are ISLANDERS.
The second question under cOnsidera-
ton. that of the purity of our water, is
scarcely worthy grave discussion. To
intimate that Minnesota lake and spring
water is otherwise is 10 slander what
has a worldwide reputation for its
sparkling splendOr. From the earliest
days it was tradition that extended
from the Five Nations on the east to the
GrOs VentreS on the west, that in Min
nesOta was found the sweetest water
that earth produced. 1t remained for
the present year and month TO discover
that this was a mistake, and that foul
impurities lurk within the sparkling
lakes and brooks and rivers of the state.
Such charge has been brought against
the water supply of st. Paul, but
it is utterly without foundation,
as the tests of the present, added
to the experience of the past, have
readilyeshOwn. Impure natural water
has been an unknown quantity in this
state. The very swamp lands are DIM
Piled with waters whose purity has
never been questioned. while the crystal
lakes. whose name is legion. contain

oil tie eartlfS surface. Water in mo-
ton is always pure, and the st. Paul
channel system, in the water service, is
based on the purifying process of aeTa-
ton. The point has been made that the
bottoms of these channels are peat. but
the fact is that every channel bottom
has been covered 10y deposit of clear
sand, which fact utterly OVerturns this
charge.
The water coming in from all sources
has been repeatedly analysed. and al
ways with the best results. DIR. Hewitt.
secretary of the state board of health,
made complete analysis, and was so
surprised at tie 'tisfa"tOry result that
he sent for further samples to convince
himself. Other tests have shown the
same result, and there are now at the
water office samples of city and other
waters, from five to ten years old. that
leave no doubt of the fact that when
one drinks st. Panl water he is getting
superior brand of the article.

sLAsHED HIS OWN JUGULAR.
Deliberate Suede of an Insane
Episcopal Clergyman.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, To-, Nov. 23.-At
noon to-day the body of Rev. Martin F.
SorensGn, an Episcopal clergyman, was
found in a wOodshed in the rear of his
premises with deep cash in the left
side of his neck, and with another on
the left wrist from which he had bled
to death. 1t was case of deliberate
suicide. as shown by the surroundings.
He had taken a bed comforter from the
house, spread it upon the floor of the
woodshed, removed his over aud under
coats, and rolled them up so as tO make
pillow for his head on the comforter.
removed his collar and cuffs, then sat
down upon the impruvised couch, and
inflicted the wounds that resulted in his
death. 1t is supposed that he committed
the act Friday afternoon. as he had not
been seen from p. IN. on that day until
his body was discovered this noon.
Temporary insanity is the only reason
that can be ascribed. Mr.. SorensOn
was fifty-four years of age, and was
rector of an Episcopal church at Allan

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 2S.-As was an
ticipated two bodies. each calling itself
the house of representatives OF the
state of Montana, met at noon to-day.
One body, consisting wholly of Demo-
Gratis, met at the place designated by
Gov. Toole, the court house, and the
other all Republicans, assembled, as
directed by Auditor Kinney, in store
room on Lower Main street. The Dem
ocratic house was called to order by &.
?. Blakely, of Gallatin county. the old
estmember IN point of service in the leg
islature. Twenty eight out of twinty-nine
Democratic members answered to roll
one, and as twenty-eight is one more
than nalf of the full membership of the
house. Temporary Chairman Blakely
announced that quorum was present.
Blakely was then elected speaker pro
tenn. and G. u. Pond, chief clerk. A
committee on cred ntials was appointed,
who reported that the twenty-eight
members present were entitled to seats.
A communication was read from Gov.
Toole notifying Capt. Smith. who has
had charge OF the legislative halls, to
turn the keys over to the sergeant-at-
arms, which was done. After recess
a committee on permanent organization
was appointed. and the house adjourned
till Monday at 10 O'Clock. The Repubi-
can members of the Legislature. pursuant
to Auditor Kinney's call. met
IN A ROOM DOWN TOWN.
The sudden change in the Republican
programme Friday night, they giving
up the idea of trying meet in the court
house. made it impossible to fix up their
quarters, and when the Republican
members, Including the Silver Bow con-
testants, met. the only furniture in the
room was step-ladder. A pine table
was brought in, the auditor called the
roll, and the members took the oath be-
fore Justice Blake. A. G. Witter, OF
Beaverhrad county. was chosen per-
manent speaker. and b. Webster chief
clerk. A committee of three was APP
pointed to wait on the governor and in-
form him that the house was ready for
business. The committee returned and
reported that the governor had gone
home The committee was con
tinued and the house adjourned
until Monday. All of the Repub-
lican members of the senate assembled
in the room designated by Gov. Toole
and took the oath of Office before Judge
Hunt. There being noquOrum present
they adjourned till Monday. Until re
contest between the houses is settled the
Democratic senators will not material
ize, and a clearly defined deadlock is
promised. There are all sorts of rumOrs
afloat tonight. charges being made that
each side has tried to buy members of
the opposition. but the only tangible
thing is that there are two houses of rep
resentativeS. no senate, and both sides
determined to fight it out. There was,
not particle of trouble of any kind TO-.
day, the Republicans staying by their
legislature and the Democrats Dy theirs.
