House Strikes Out Domestic Science Item
in Agricultural College Appropriation.
The agricultural appropriation bill was
taken up in committee of the whole and
everything went along smoothly until
the item of $4,000 for domestic science
was reached Miller of Morris spoke
against the expenditure of such large
amount for the purpose of teaching girls
to cook and make over dresses
MIR. knipe favored the appropriation
and defended that course of study. 81

good housekeeper, but I've travelled
around good deal and 1 know that they

don't know why boys should be sent
to law school, theological school, and
medical college to make good lawyers,
preachers and doctors of them, when the
girls are not given chance to make
themselves good cooks and housekeep-

Mr.. Cannon said if the girls hadn't
learned to cook before they we're old
enough to go to the agricultural college
they wouldn't amount to hill of beans
anyhow.
Mr.. Lough said: 81 don't see why we
should appropriate this large amount of

New YORK, Feb. 26.-Cipher dis
patches have been received here by Gu
ban sympathizers announcing that
revolution of large proportions has
broken out in Cuba.
Meagre advices received by merchants
in New York confirm the cipher dis
patches. The plan of campaign is more
complete than in any of the numerous
revolutions which have drenched Cuban
soil with blood.
Relying upon the fact that the disaffec-
ton is general. the arms and supplies of
war smuggled to Cuba were landed at
widely different points.
The outbreak is said to have been
hatched here in New York. 1t is said
that the cipher dispatches received here
by members of the Cnban revolutionary
party, to whom the date set for the up
rising has been known since February
9th, told that the revolution had been
begun in earnest.
Jose Marti at tho Head.
Jose Marti, twice banished from
Cuban soil because of his hate of Span
ish domination, and General Maxine
Gomez, who commanded the eastern
wing of the Cuban rebels in the revol-
ution of 1868, left New York two weeks
ago for Vera Cruz, and the news re-
ceived today from Cuba tells that they
have landed, for their arrival was to be
the signal for the uprising.
Jose Marti will be the head of the pro-
visional government if the revolutionists
are successful.
General Gomex, who accompanied
him, is the commander -in-chie of the
revolutionary forces
Scene of the Uprising.
The insurgent forces in Matanzas, near
Tbarra, where one wing of the patriot
party raised its standard, are under com
mand of Major General Julia SauguiIy.
The point mentioned is about 60 miles
east of Havana, on the west end of the
island.
The scene of the other uprising, Guam
tanamo. is on the east end of the island,
and the fact that these widely separated
places are given prominence is accepted
by Cubans in New York to mean that
the uprising extended throughout the
island, and that the Spanish authorities
were attempting to belittle its extent
The revolutionary forces in the eastern
section Of the island are estimated at
four thousand men.
The Spanish forces number about 49,
600 regulars, of which about 5000 are
stationed in Santiago de Cuba. The bulk
of the remaining Spanish troops are
stationed in Havana.
Men who are high in the councils OF
the Cuban party here say that with the
arms which have been smuggled into
Cuba during the last few weeks General
Gomez would be able to arm 5000 men
at once, and many more within very
short time.

alton in Cuba.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. = Secretary
Gresham has received a cable from Con-
sui General Williams at Havana, an
nonncing martial law has been pro-
claimed in Cuba
The Spanish minister here, Senior Ma
ragua, also received similar advice
from the Cuban officials As nearly as
can be gathered here this measure is
rather precautionary at this time.
According to Minister Maraguas' ad-
vices, there have been too small emuetes
in Cuba. The first was in the province
of Matanzas, in the south, where fifteen
men armed themselves and undertook to
start rebellion. The other was in the
province of Cuba, where twenty seven
rebels were routed by the government
troops, and six of them taken prisoners.
The minister has no apprehension of
general uprising

An Attempt to Advance It Defeated
In the Senate.

In the Senate.
Senator Sterne made an effort today to
have tho equal suffrage bill advanced on
the calendar Senator Shearer, and one
or two others, objected, and the bill was
not advanced. The bill in question is
the one enfranchising ter or a dozen
women named, in order to enable the
women to test in court the question of
whether or not women can be enfran-
chised by an act of the legislature. SEN
ator Sterne made the effort at the re-

the floor of the senate. 1t is said she
would be one of the counsel for the
women when the case is tested.

meek, "just as you say" way and rushed
them through without delay. Today,
however lot of house calendars found

An examination showed that nearly all
of the senate bills passed as far back as
three weeks ago have never been taken
up or considered. This is what "riled
up" some of the Populist senators. Sena-
tor Reid made a motion that none but
senate bills be considered from this time

pie direction to be followed / couldn't

times they were too hard, sometimes
loo soft, though it was always said
that they had been boiled exactly
four minutes But the mystery has
been cleared up A neighbor tells us
that it s.quite possible that the eggs
should vary, even though they were
all cooked for exactly the same time.
She says that while an egg one day
old would require four minutes boil
ing to attain certain degree of hard
ness an older egg might attain the
same degree in two minutes, or else
it's just the other way-the new egg
cooks quickest-I don't remember
which. But that is matter of detail
