The Glover Farm. so.called, owned by
George Cayanaugh, and located on Westtield
street, Dedham, Mass, was the scene OF an
attempted suicide, which will undoubtedly
result fatally. Sherwood Cavanaugh, aged
II years, son of George II. Cayanaugh OF
Boston, took revolver, kept In the house OF
his father, walked out into the street in front
OF the house and shot himself in the right
jaw.
After committing the act the youth put the
revolver in his coat pocket and walked up

Spanish army have landed in Cuba the
majority Of them III Havana. They include
all arms of Spain's best regiments, art llery,
cavalry, engineers and infantry, also hello
graph corps.
Regiment after regiment Of Cuban yOlun-
teers are now in the field, acting in unison
with the Spanish regulars. Spain has
45, 900 disci plined troops in the island, apart
from the volunteers. Another army corps of
Is, COO has been modified and is ready for
transportation. BY Dec. l. fully 30 900 regu-

A fleet Of Spanish men-of.war is now on
Its way there The majority of the vessels
are of light draught and they can enter the
many harbors and ports of this island They
are armed with modern rapidiire cannon.
Spain ha, moreover, contracted with British
shipbuilderS for twenty-thsee light-draught
gunboats. They are rapidly approaching
completion and are due there in November
and December.
The real war has ye. to commence. The
mitrailleuses have proven fearful engines OF

OPENS HIS PURSE.
Sec, Lamont Reaches Down Into His
Pocket For $4,000.

For the first time in the history Of the army
Il is believed, Il secretary OF war has gone
down into his pocket to pay the officers of
the army. Congress last year passed law
providing that hereafter no money should be
retained from the pay of enlisted men, as
had been the custom, but that they should re-
ceive their pay in full. This added very
considerable to the wage account OF the army
but after passing the law congress, in its usual
care ess fashion, forget to make any apDrO-
priation to meet the new order Of things.
The consequence was that last June the ap-
preparation was exhausted, and the war de-
partment found itself without funds TO pay
officers and men.
After good deal of skirmishing Secretary
Lamont found it possible to transfer certain
balances so as to pay off the enlisted men,
but there was no provision by which the
officers could receive their money. He there.
fore advanced the requisite amount, about
$50 600 out of his own pocket, deposited it in
a New York bank and issued his own checks
against it. He will have to wait to
get this money back until congress
meets and makes the appropriation, which
will not be for at least four months. The
action Of the secretary is regarded as cN-
tremey generous and is greatly appreciated
by officers. many OF whom would have been
seriously Inconvenience by not receiving
their pay. Secretary Lamont not only
charges no interest. but will lose the interest
he could have made out OF the money.

When the last ear made the last trip Mt
night there were some very tired women who
had played the role of railroad employees,
but they endured it bravely, They had
needed the money to meet expenses at the
Woman's Christian Association House, and
they had enriched its treasury by many hun
dreds Of dollars. Probably the receipts will
reach Il 500.

port from which nearly all the bananas

The Spanish soldiers made feeble attempt
to defend the place, but the rebels were too

matter for the banana. eaters Of Boston, for
it is very doubtful indeed whether any more

There was rumor at Banes and Gibara

Mello was expected any day Nitn

of the Taft who saw Melo lombard Rio
says that there is sevidently some good ground

"Why, cholera does not kill nearly
so many persons as measles, teeth

Sir Edwin had also a remedy, or
rather a preventive Of the disease,
which he declared was absolutely
certain to keep person from be-
coming i'll with it. He said that ii
person would take five drops Of
dyorochloric acid in a cup of tea

take seven or eight drops, however,
or he might burn the lining from
