REBELLION IN CUBA GROWING.
Remarkable Progress Made During the
Past Few Months.

PRst Few months.
New York, Sept. 30.-The Worlds
correspondent in Cuba, who has just Wis.,
tied the provinces Of Santa Clara and
Santiago, reports that the rebellion has
grown remarkably since he last visited
those sections. He says:
The claims OF the Spanish press that
the rebellion was an uprising Of blacks
are borne out by my observations.
There were on the first Of June about
5000 men in the field in Santiago, q
considerable number of whom were un-
armed, and four-fifths of whom were
negroes or men Of color.
There were few unorganized bands
prowling In the forests Of Puerto Prin-
cipe awaiting leader.
The wealthy and fertile province Of
Santa Clara was subservient to Span
ish authority, excepting a number Of
discontented people who had taken to
the woods near Santa Spiritus. A
change has taken place. Antonio
Maceo has under his general command
5000 fairly armed followers.
Outside the town and garrisoned
ports held by Spanish troops, Maceo is
the master Of the country throughout
the province.
There are nearly $4,000 insurgents in
the various groups in Santa Clara.
Many are not armed, however.

Judge Jenkins Appoints Independent Men
to Run the Northern Pacific.
Milwaukee, Sept. 3O-Frank G. Bige-
low of Milwaukee and Edward w. Nc
Henry of st. Paul were this morning
appointed by Judge Jenkins to succeed
Henry C. Payne, Thomas f. Oakes and
Henry C. Rouse as receivers Of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company.

for years past has been chief engineer
of the Northern Pacific and who knows
every inch of the road, is to have
charge of its operations. The new re-
ceivers are ordered to file bonds in the
sum of 100000 each within ten days

LAKE DISASTERS.
Reports of Many Vessels In Peril, But No
Loasea Of Life.


Chicago. Sept. 3O.-Yesterday' storm
on the lakes was one Of the most violent
and destructive of recent years. No less
than thirteen vessels have been report
ed stranded at various points, while re-
ports continue to be received of others
flying signals of distress. At Milwaukee
the schooner Condor is long overdue
and grave fears are felt for her safety.
Thirteen persons narrowly escaped
drowning when the steam barge Ker-
shaw went down on the reef at Cho-
clay beach, breaking completely in two.
Five steamers are grounded near De-
troit and the barge, r. J. Henry, went
to pieces on the rocks near Saulte Ste.
Marie. Several vessels lost deck car
goes and others were stripped Of all
canvas. steering gear, etc. The steamer
Puritan, from Chicago to st. Joseph,
Michigan, was obliged to put back to
port after making three attempts to
land at the latter port, the passengers
becoming panic-stricken and many Of
them so sick they were unable to help
themselves. Thus far no loss of life has
been reported.

CHINA BACKS DOWN.
AFRAID OF ENGLISH WRATH.
The Emperor Of China Issues . Decree
Doposing the Obnoxious viceroy Liu.-
The Investigation In Progress Not AZ
fected.

Washington, Sept. 3O.-Minister Den
by cabled the state department from
Pekin as follows: Imperial decree is
issued. Abstract: Responsibility for
SEE Chuen riots rests with officials
Viceroy Liu carelessly took no notice
Of the beginning of the riots. He is
deprived Of Office, never to be employ
ed. Other officials to be punished"
This would seem to indicate that the
crisis impending in China, involving a
naval demonstration by the British
forces, has been averted, for time at
least, by compliance with the pripci-
pal demands of the British. 1t cannot
be learned whether the decree comedies
all Of the demands made. The cable
gram makes no reference to the sweep
Ing conditions imposed by the British
minister that the guilty officers be pun
1shed by suspension for three years in
all promotions and appointments in the
civil service in the province of SEE
Chuen.
Viceroy Liu, whose fall Is announced,
has been in trouble before. 1t Is said
he was found guilty last November Of
misappropriating funds, and later on
because the French investigations
showed that he was responsible for the
Cheng Tu riots. He was obliged to
pay an indemnity of $sOO,OOO to the
French Catholic missions from his own
pocket.
The present conclusion, which has
been brought about apparently by
threats, will not involve the abandon
ment Of the Independent investigation
into the Cheng Tu riots which has been
ordered by Secretary Olney. There has
been change in the personnel Of the
commission, and Commander Barber,
the naval attache, who has fallen Ill,
has been relieved from duty as COM
missioner by Lieutenant Commander
John P. Merrill, executive officer Of the
United States steamship Baltimore.

Gunnison, Colo, Sept 2S.-The fall
term of the District Court adjourned
to-day, after having been one Of the
most important terms in many years.

contempt Of court in speaking to Juror
Head concerning case on trial. The
Juror was turned loose. Nearly every
attorney in the city pleaded in behalf
of the sheriff, they knowing what was
said had no bearing either way and was
done in an instant without thought.
Judge Gabbert, however, considered It
seriously and imposed a fine.

Curious Trees.


The largest orange tree in the south
Is gigantic specimen which grows out
Of the rich soil In Terre Bonne parish.
Louisiana. 1t is fifty feet high and fif-
teen feet in circumference at the base
its yield has often been ten thousand
oranges per season.
The "tallow tree of China has a
pith from one inch to two feet In di-
ameter, according to the size of the
tree. which is composed of a greasy
wax which Is SO highly volatile that
1t often catches fire spontaneously,
consuming the tree to the very ends of
its roots.
The largest oak tree now left stand
Ing In England is "Cowthorp's oak"
which Is seventy-eight feet in circum-
ference at the ground. The Oldest tree
In Britain is parliamentary oak"
In Clipstone park, London, which is
known to be fifteen hundred years old.
The largest apple tree in New York
state is said to be one standing near
the town of Wilson. It was planted in
the year of 1915, and 1t is on record that
1t once yielded thirty-three barrels of
apples in a single season.
There are four hundred and thirteen
species of trees found growing within
the limits Of the United States. The
curiosity Of the whole lot is the black
ironwood of Florida, which is thirty
per cent heavier than water. Well
dried black ironwood will sink in water
almost as quickly as will bar of lead.
The "life tree" of Jamaica ia harder
to kill than any other species of wood
growth known to arboriculturists. It
continues to grow and thrive for
months after being uprooted and ex-
posed to the sun.

An interesting test of the enduraucs
of the native Western horse for cav
airy service was made this month by

Trees and Health.

It has been noted that the first set.
slers in heavily wooded sections of the
country have generally been healthy,
despite their many privations. The
reason for this is that the trees and
plants of all kinds possess the power
Of absorbing poisoned air from decay
ing vegetation, besides which the
emanations from evergreens and the
smoke from burning resiuous woods
ere noted for the relief they give to
those suffering from pulmonary dis
eases.
New heavily wooded countries, as
already noted, are the most healthy
for settlers, and they continue so for
some years, as only small portion Of
the forest can be cleared away each
yesr. After the forest is removed and
sunlight IS admitted, tbs soil fills
rapidly with vegetable mold, which
decomposes more rapidly than it can
be absorbed by the scant vegetation,
and as result the atmosphere is rem
dered impure and malaria becomes a
common complaint. In,view Of these
facts, people are beginning to under
stand the value of trees as dlsease-ab-
sorbing and health-giving agents.
Naturally this leads to the question as
to what trees are best for protection
against disease.
On Long Island and in New jersey
there are localities surrounded and
hemmed in with pitch pines, which
are famed for their curative qualities
in consumption, and the pines are
thus indicated as valuable surround
ings in pulmonary complaints. 1t
would seem reasonable to suppose that
trees having the largest leaves and the
most of them would be the best for
this purpose, as such trees would un-
doubtedly have the most absorbing
power. We have seen the eucalyptus
tree, mentioned as of special value, as
purifier of the atmosphere. Hall s
