IF the new Maxim gun for infantry
will discharge 500 shells minute, as
is claimed, and if a fair proportion of
these shots are fred with fatal effect,
battles of the future will necessarily
be of short duration. At this rate it
would take but few minutes to
annihilate large army. A few more
such inventions as this and universal

the canal probably would reduce the
average level OF Lake Michigan about 6
inches and possibly Lake Huron the

be Objectionable to the shipping inter

HIS Men. ill.,
KEY WEST, Fla, Aug. ~. -RelialIe
advices from Cuba via steamer Mas
cote Indicate that the Spaniards,
in their efforts to suppress She re.
bellion; are perpetrating atrocities
as horrible as those attributed to
the Kurds in Armenia. A few days
ago Capt. Garrido, Spanish guerilla
operating with a company OF 600
men, in the Santiago de Cuba
district, discovered q hospital where
nearly 100 swounde + insurgents had
taken refuge Garrido ordered the
helpless men put to death in the most
cruel manner. He refused to allow
them to be shot, but made his soldiers
chop up the victims with swords. The
wounded insurgents were literally
dismembered by the Spanish butchers.
When Gen. Jose Maceo was appraised
of this atrocity he Immediately dis
patched several detachments of In
surgents to seek Garrido out and
capture him alive or dead. Capt.
Rafael Gonzales came across him
on the outskirts of Santiago, but as
the guerilla's force was overwhelm-
ingly superior to his own, he kept
watch on the enemy's movements and
sent to Maceo for reenforcements.
Maceo himself came to his sup
port with a strong force. Garrido's
troop was surrounded, and after a
short encounter, during which thirty
four Spaniards were killed, he surren-
dered. Garrido was seized and sem
fenced to death byas Maceo and shot
without more ado.

Robbed the Church.

When the priest at the Catholic
church Of New Ulm went to the vault
to get the chalice to use at mass, to his
surprise he found that the vault had
been blown open, and from its contents
are missing gold chalice, plate and
soporia, and a silver monstrance, the
total value of which is about 5000.
There is no clue to the burglars, nor is
it known when the deed was done, as
the vault had not been used for several
days. The vault was situated in the
basement at the rear of the church and
its existence was known to very few
people. It was therefore plain that the
robbery had been done by some one
who was familiar with the church.
