WILL SPARE NO SACRIFICE.
Spain VIII Do Her Utmost to Crush
the Rebellion.

the Rebellion.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. S1.-Charles NJ.
Ackers, London Times correspondent
in Cuba, has just arrived, and in an
Interview says:
General Weyler is an extremely able
officer, perhaps the most able man to
be found in all Spain. The martial
law established by the Spaniards in
Cuba since the outbreak Of the insur-
rection is absolutely the same as the
martial law anywhere. 1t is certainly
impossible to predict when or how this
devastating struggle will terminate.
The Spanish government is firmly de-
termined to make use of every possible
resource in order to maintain its hold
on the island. You may consider it
as good as settled that the Spanish gov
eminent will spare no sacrifice toward
retaining its sovereignty over the is
land Whether right or wrong, Spain
imagines she can crush the rebellion. -
In regard to the accounts of Spanish
atrocities he says:
I cannot state from personal obser-
walton that 1 have come across any
act of wanton cruelty inflicted by the
Spaniards or Cubans, but, of course.
this is war. and the Spaniards cannot
afford to be led by false information or
any other covert or open sympathy
with the Cubans. Naturally there
have been gross eXaggera tons on both
sides. From my personal knowledge I
can say that the weight Of evidence
seems to be against the Cubans, as it
is we'll known fact that they hang
and shoot suspects as we'll as inoffen-
sive people freely and don't hesitate
about it. This is the time of heavy
rainfalls in Cuba and much cannot be
done in a military way"

The U. p. Freight Traffic Manager
Returning From a Vacation.
J. A Munroe, freight traffic manager
Of the Union Pacific, arrived here from
the west yesterday, and was in evil
dence throughout the day at the local
offices of the company.
To interview the gentleman was one
Of the questions, for he has been "out
in the woods so long that he has lost
track of the very recent developments
here and was more anxious to seek in
formation than to impart it,
The fact is" said Mr.. Munroe, that

ton out on the coast, and am not
posted. L am now on my way to
Omaha, but shall spend two or three
days in Salt Lake,

Give every man his share
OF sorrow and of glee,
And he will wonder where
The other part can be.
If pain be half his lot,
He tries to make a jest of it;
1t serves to warn him not
lie wants to know the rest of it.
Give woman half a hint
OF how the scandal goes,
And she will never stint
When telling what she knows.
One tells the story straight;
Another what she guessed of it
The others watch and wait
They want to know the rest of it.
Give any growing boy
a watch, and there's no doubt
Twill be his vandal joy
To turn it inside out.
He isn't satisfied
To merely be poasessor of it.
The watch looks well outside
He wants to see the rest Of it.
And so the story goes,
Through half the alphabet.
No wit nor science throws
A light upon it yet.
The problem in our hands;
We ought to make the best of 1t.
But still, you understand,
We want to know the rest of it.

A FATAL JOKE.
The Clothing on a CoIored Man Sat-

The Clothing on q CoIored Man Sat-
urated With Oil and Set on Fire.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Aug. S1.-The
fir4men at 80. engine house had a
peculiar case TO deal with yesterday
morning. About o'clock they were
awakened by cries of a person in great
agony Two or three of the men rush
ed out and saw a good sized blaze in
the gutter, a short distance from the
engine house. Hurrying TO the spot
they saw that it was man lying IN
q mass of flames. His clothing was
burning flercely. Before they could eH-
tinguish the flames every particle OF
clothing had been consumed.
The victim proved to be Sidney VIII
son, a young colored man living in
Southport He was taken TO the Gen
eral hospital. There is no chance of his
recovery. HOW his clothes got on fire Is
a mystery.
Wilson is unconscious and cannot
tell It is known that he had been
drinking Saturday night. 1t is thought
some person saturated his clothing
with oil and then touched a match to
it and called out the firemen, thinking
il would be a good joke.

Railroad a1aiI Order Modined.

The secret order of the postmaster
general, forbidding railroads the prac-
tice Of carrying railroad mail without
postage. has by the advice of the at
torney-general, been modified and new
ruling made which says:
"a railroad company has the right
to carry letters without the payment
of postage that are written and sent
by the officers and agents of the rail-
road company which carries and de-
livers them, about its business, and
these only. They may be letters to
others Of its officers and agents, to
those Of connecting lines or to anyone
else. so long as no other carrier inter
venes"
This practically restores all the privi-
leges formerly enjoyed by the roads, or
to the extent that they have no further
cause for complaint against the order
and will prevent the abuses which
occasioned the original order.

'"rhere is no escape from politics, not
even in Alaska" said Mr.. s. Green at the
Templeton last night Mr.. Green is a re-
nouned globe trolter and is now passing
through Salt Lake on one of his periodi-
cal trips.
''Of course don't object to politics my
self" continued Mr.. Green affably, but
j was somewhat SUIT rised to find people
in the hotel corridors at SitlSa talking
earnestly, and sometimes eNcitedly over
Bryan and Mckinley. It was the same
way in Canada and all along the western
coast There are gold extremists and
silver fanatics everywhere"

how many fasteners are being converted
every day to silverism. This was not so
startling N the country but no one could
have prophesied Of such a change in the
large cities.
IN Kansas City and st. Joe the prose-
lytes to free silver have SwelleG from a
corporal's guard into quite an army. All
through Buchanan county, where [ spent
several weeks lately, the people are all
for Bryan. In fact this is the case all
through the country districts of Missouri
In the north as well as IN the Dixie por-
ton. A man in Montgomery, whom I
have known for years as q strong Re-
publican politician, wrote me recently that
he was out for the Nebra slxan. He also
said he had stopped subscribing for the
Giobe-D Democrat, and would seek for poll

The officers were reinforced by a.
number of white residents and pitch
ed battle followed, guns, axes and

COPPER KETTLES ron PRESERVES

The preserving season is now at
hand. and the talk of danger from the
copper preserving kettle is again heard
throughout the land" observed an ex-
perienced housekeeper. Like many
others, l prefer a copper kettle, though
1 admit that the enameled kettles are
the easiest cleansed and kept clean.
Copper kettles seem to make better
preserves or jams. L do not know the
reason for it, but my experience has
always been that way. There is one
thing, however. 1 would like to impress
upon all who use copper kettles, and
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-09-01

that is never to allow any preserves to
cool in them. Better pour them out
when the preserves are boiling hot In
this way there is no danger from YER
digris. The best preserves are ruined
sometimes by allowing them to cool in
a copper kettle. 1 don't think I have
ever seen a brass kettle that I would
feel safe in using. Ordinarily, how
ever, the enameled iron kettles are
generally used, though old fashioned
folks like myself prefer copper
