WEY1ER,s TORCH CAMPAIGN
Fire Thousand Cuban Homes DestroyeC
tn One Beek.

Efue Thousand Cuban Homes Destroyed
in One Beek.
CHICAGO, ILL, July pa special
from Key West, Fla, says:
The situation in Cuba is growing worse.
According to advices received here the in
surgents are destroying trains by dYna-
mite and burning sugar estates, while the
Spaniards continue to burn the houses of
Cuban peasants. Official reports show the
Spaniards burned nearly 5000 homes in the
last week. In many cases these homes
were occupied by women, the men being
in the insurgent army.
This campaign of the torch which Wey-
Ter has inaugurated is forcing the country
people into the cities, where they are dy-
ing by scores of hunger and disease. Many
of the refugees die from exhaustion before
they reach the cities. The Fernandez fam
lily, consisting of father, mother and six
little children, were driven from their
home by Spaniards last week and
the house burned. The family started
for Matanzas on foot. They were
FIVE days on the way, and for
three days they were without food.
Four of the children died of hunger and
exhaustion, and the parents carried the
little corpses in their arms. On the fifth
day, when about six miles from Matanzas,
the father, mother and other two children
succumbed and dropped by the roadside.
They were found few hours later, all
dead save the father, who lived long
enough TO tell the story.
Many similar stories reach Havana, but
the above is sufficient to show what hor-
rors result from Weyler's policy of burn
ing the homes of the Cubans.
Driven to the cities, the men are com.
PEELED to enter the Spanish army. Weak
ered by lack of food these refugees become
easy victims of yellow fever. In the hos
pitals at Matanzas, Havana and Santiago
it is estimated that there are II, 900 yellow
fever and smallpox patients. OF these
about 70O0 are Spanish soldiers. The
exodus from the island continues, every
steamer being crowded.
Official reports show that nearly so ,OOC
persons have left Cuba since Weyler ar.
rived. But these figures do not cover the
exodus, for hundreds too poor to pay pas.

at headquarters and be supplied with all
the literature it wants. In other respects
il will be left free to carry out it's own
plans.
Mr.. Hahn, chief of the speakers de-
partment, made his first assignments to-
day, giving to Senator Thurston the fol-
lowing appointments to open State cam
paigns: Madison, Wis, July 81; Mil
waukee, August 5; st. Paul, August q;
Duluth, August 8; Topeka, August ~;
Ottumwa, August 10. After the Nebraska
orator mas made speeches at the foregoing
places he will go East under the direction
OF the New York headquarters, making
several speeches and returning to the
Western department the first week in Sep
tember for further assignments. 1t is the
policy of the National committeeman not
to send out many speakers prominent in
public life during the early part of the
campaign, but speeches will be made by
the committees speakers during August,
in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Minnesota,
Iowa ana Kansas. Mr.. Hahn has about
$50 applications on file from persons of
more or less merit, who want to be en-
gagged to take the stump by the National
Committee.
Judge A. a. Post, chairman of the Ne
braska State Central Committee, and Sem
ator Thurston have arrived from that
State and are spending some time at head
quarters. Judge Post said to a United
Press reporter:
mckinley will carry Nebraska by a
large majority. Bryans ueighbors regard
him as an amiable fellow and clever. but
they do not want to see him President.
Personally they like him. but politically
they are against him. l expect to see him
defeated in his own ward in Lincoln, in
his county, his Congressional district and
in the country at large. Nebraska is as
strongly for Mckinley as il was at the
start, and the party is organized as itnever
was before"
Senator Thurston said: 1.-THE prospects
of Republican success seem TO grow
brighter every day. think Bryan
reached the height of his popularity the
day after he was nominated, and he has
been losing ground every day since. The
older the campaign grows the more re-
mote will become the chances of his elec.
ton. The Nebraska farmers will remain
true to their party, which they have been
loyal to during the onslaught of Populism
for years"
Cyrus Leland, speaking for Kansas, told
his fellow w-committeemen that he was cog
infant of a revulsion of feeling in favor oi
the Republican platform since the silver
smoke of the last three conventions has
cleared away and he looks for accessions
from the country.
Hon. Roswell Horr of New York has
been assigned by Mr.. Hahn to Nebraska
for six meetings and to Minnesota for ten
meetings.
James n. Huston of Indiana, ex-United
States Treasurer, and J. T. Doxey of Ander-
son, candidate for Governor at the recent
Indiana convention, called at headouar-
ters. Mr.. Huston said: political man
ayers must not presume on the ignorance
of the masses on the money question.
Every piece of literature should be care
| fully inspected. The average voter knows
as much as the leader did ten years ago.

from Havana tonight state that although
the story is still officially denied, there is
no doubt that Inclan is Maceo's captive.
1t is stated in Havana that Weyler has
received letters from Maceo announcing
that Inclan is prisoner and Offering TO
exchange him for any prominent Cuban

Weyler refuses to make the exchange
Inclan will be held as hostage, and that
If any prominent Cubans are put to death

Inclan's friends are urging Weyler to
agree on an exchange.

DisiNfecte1s Kisses.

from IL. ~. Louis ltt pubii;
The gratitude of lovers is due Dr. Hurty
of the Indiana state board of health for
extracting the sting OF fear from the kiss
of love.
Scientists have been trying to discour-
age the pleasant practice Of slipping the
nectar from the lips of love and beauty
by intimating that mixed with the honey
We're swarms of horrid bacteria that We're
likely to give the Slippers any kind of an
old thing in the way of complaints. from
a bad cold to case OF dphthcria
Although we believe that there are lovers
who will tell the scientists and their bac-
teria TO go to blazes and will take their
nectar at the risk of ltfc and Iirib, yet
the information is disturbing and tends
to embitter the honey ard take the edge
off the relish. There is fly in the precious
ointment OF loves delight. ard the courts
of sweet daliance are haunted by the
specters of the sick room.
But DR.. Hurty has shown how all OF
these specters may be driven away and
mortal men may again reyei in the sweets
of the ruby lip. as they did in the old days
when ignorance was bliss. He says all
that is necessary to make kissing health
full is to carefully wash the mouth with
disinfectant before Indulgence in the
luxury.
This simplifies matters for lovers. All!
they need do is to make free use of dis
infectants and they can hit the lips as
often as they please. OF course, the first
question when man calls his sweet
love will be, Have you disnfected?' and
if the answer is mutually satisfactory
and we presume if it is not bottle of
disinfectant will be handy-then c. ho!ized
lips may meet carbolized lips in dream

Cost of Poles.
Steps are nailed to the very large tele-

ably not out Of consideration for the line
men that these steps were placed, but to
save the poles from being hacked by the
ilnemen's pole-clutches. The tall poles are
exceedingly expensive An eighty -five-foot
pole costs about $50, and one seventy feet
IN height about $50. They must be pur-
