TROUBLE IN CUBA.
Small Bands of Revoiutionists Reported
to BE Doing Mischief


New YORK. Nov. 15-The steamer
Yumuri Yumuri has arrived here from
Havana, bringing a large number of
Havana papers. They give lengthy ac-
counts OF what appears to be spon-
taneous uprising of small bands of revo-
lutionists all over the island.
According to Ell Pals, of Havana,
dated November Z, the uprising start
ed on November 3. Twenty men rose
in Lajas, entered the store of a dealer
in fire arms and demanded the sur
render of the place. He refused and
was shot. The place was looted.
The men being thus armed went
to Forage. Here they took thirty
horses and were reinforced by more
revolutionists. In another small town
twenty men arose in arms. An engage
ment followed with the government
troops, in which five men were taken
prisoners and the rebels dispersed.
Gen. Marti, who is now in New York,
said yesterday morning: 1.-The present
move was started by the best youth OF
Las Lajasa, prosperous town of Glen
fugos, the rich port of the south coast.

A Railroad Treasurer Robbed OF g71 ,c0<
in His ONCE In chicago.

in His ONCE In chicago.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Daring robbers
beat the treasurer of the Indiana, Hi
nois & Iowa railway into insensibility
yesterday morning and got away with
something like over s21. ZOO in cash
The victim Of the assault was John A
Drake, so years old, son of +. NJ Drake,
president and builder of the Three
Is road and the crime was committed
in the company's Office, on the ninth
floor of the Rookery building, one
block from the board of trade 1t was
an easy matter for the thugs to make
their escape from the great building,
which is practically deserted at
o'clock, the hour at which the robbery
was committed. The money taken
represented the semi-monthly pay roll
of the company.
Mr. Drake intended to take the 7:30
o'clock train on the Nickel Plate for
Knox. Ind, the eastern terminus of
the Three Is" from which point he
has been in the habit of working to
the western terminus at Streator, Ill,
with his pay car 1t had been the Gus
tom of the company to pay its employees
in checks altogether, pay able to bear
err at the banks on the line, and after
ward a change was made topart checks
and part cash. But it was suspected
that dummies were on the pay roll, and
the last change to paying in currency
only led to the discovery of two dunn
my employees.
Mr.. Drake says he had just put the
money packages in handbag and was
stepping from the vault when he was
seized with vice-like grip sideways
round the body, and while his arms
were pinioned by one robber the sec
ond robber dealt him stunning blow
over the right temple with slung shot
As he staggered the robber, who had
| released his grip, struck the vlctime
| in the face twice with his fist-k
| At the same time the robber with the
slung shot hit Drake again over the
| forehead, telling him to the floor I'M
conscious. The robbers then abstract
ed the packages of money, and placing
the satehel on chair just outside the
vault, walked down stairs without be-
ing met by anyone. Nothing has been
seen of them since and the police have
no clew which promises anything.
! Drake left the office door unlocked
when he entered and the key on the
outside, which Chief Inspector Sheet
thinks was very careless act to say
the least"
It is probable the robbers learned
this months payroll would go out in
currency, from a circular which was
issued the first of the month announct
ing that wages would thereafter be
paid in cash instead of checks. These
circulars were distributed all along
the road among the employees and ons
of them could very easily have fallen
] into the hands of the thieves.

POWDERLY'S DENIAL.

He Declared There Was No Movement on
Foot to Disrupt the Knights of Labor.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15.-Prior to the
opening of the general assembly
Knights of Labor, at Industrial hall
yesterday, Mr.. Powderly took occasion
to emphatically deny a story that
this would be the last convention
of the order and that there was a
scheme to disrupt it The article al
legeI that Powderly and two or three
other members of the general execu-
tive board were in conspiracy to
break up the order and gain control of
its property, including the $4,000 head
quarters, $3.50, 900 worth of coal lands
in Indiana and $50. 900 worth of real
estate in New York.
1.-THE story is absolutely false" said
Mr.. Powderly. There will certainly
be a motion to adjourn without day
for future meeting. but not with a
view to the disruption of the order"

WATER AND DISEASE.
A Few Hints About Filtering and Boiling
Impure Liquids.

Impure Liquids.
Impure water should not be used for
any domestic purpose. When only i'm
pure water is to be had, it should in all
cases be purified before use.
Boiling is the most common method
of taring innocuous CT sterile any
water suspected or known to contain
material which might produce diseases
conveyable by water; such as typhoid
fever or cholera.
1t is not uncommon to hear people
say: I'VE do not fear cholera because
we boil all our drinking water" Yet
it is safe to say that half of those who
give orders to have the water boiled,
and even of those who themselves at
tend to its boiling, drink water from
vessels rinsed with unboiled water.
1t is plain that the good effects of
boiling the water which is to be used
for drinking purposes are lost, if the
pitcher, or the salad. or the milk can,
or the milk jug has been rinsed with
unboiled water. The boiling of water
is an excellent precaution, but the use
of boiled water shorlG be extended.
OF the water used N the household
the proportion devoted to drinking
pur poses is relatively small. In the
kitchen water IS used for washing veg
etz5les and salads, fer rinsing dishes
and tableware. One or two germs of
disease cl:nging to the sides Of a YES
sci into which milk has afterward
been poured may find the mill, an ex-
cellent coil in which to grow and prop
agate their species.
From food which has been subjected
to roasting, to boiling or to any thor
ough cooking there is nothing 20 fear.
From uDccoked foods and from fluids
danger is possible, and in the process
OF their preparation for consumption
they shor11 be guarded from every
possible source OF contamination.
