OFFICIAL ATTENTION.
IL Attracted TO the Enlistment % Men
TO Join the Cuban Insurgents.

L. Attracted TO the Enlistment OF Men
to Join the Cuban Insurgents,
Washington, Dec. 16.-The attention
of officials here has been attracted by the
stories coming from all portions Of the
country indicating that enlistments are
going on of parties of men to go to Cuba
to join the insurgents in their struggle
against the Spaniards. These enlist
ments are In direct violation of the neu-
trality laws, and are prohibited under
severe penalties. For accepting a COM
mission to serve against Spain. a coun-
try with which the United States Is now
at peace, the penalty prescribed by sec
ton 52S1, revised statutes, is $1,000 fine
and three years Imprisonment. while for
enlistment to serve against Spain or
hiring any one to enlist. the penalty is
almost as heavy, being maximum Of
$1,000 fine and three years imprisonment
The enforcement of these laws natural
ly falls within the functions of the United
States officials to whose knowledge the
attempt at infringement is brought. but
II the movements continue on a large
scale. as reported. IT is probable that the
department. of justice will send instruc-
tions of a special character to. all of it's
agents, calling their attention to the
proclamation issued by the president
last spring, and enjoining upon them a
strict enforcement Of the neutrality
laws.
The government doubtless will be
obliged to do this. In order to manifest
its purpose to meet the requirements Of
international law. just as it has warned
the shipping interests against taking
part In filibustering movements. and has
sent rigid instructions to judicial officers
at Atlantic ports TO prevent the infrac-
ton of the laws i'm that respect.

HE WAS ANGRY.
Baker Said to Have Shot
at Jerry FOurnier.
Trouble Resulted From Dis
cuSSion Over Name.
User Of the Revolver Said to Have
Felt Himself Insulted.

Yesterday noon q man who calls HIM
self Edward Baker, shot at Jerry FORMER.
. well known saloon keeper of Riverside,
but did not hit him.
Saturday evening II appears Baker and
Fournier were returning from Providence
In an electric car, and entered into con-
versation. According to BAKERS account,
Fournisr charged him with being
Frsnohman having . different name from
that which he now claimed to be his
name. Fournier also charged Baker. 1t
10 claimed, with being ashamed OF his
name, Fournisr saying, 81 am not
ashamed of my name" Baker was so ex-
sspersted that he got out OF the oar
and walked part OF the way home.
Monday morning Baker called on ssr-
geant Munros and complained that
Fournisr had insulted him and he wanted
him arrested. The officer told Baker that
the case did not appear to be one for q
criminal prosecution. IL Fournisr I'm
suited him he ought to have complained
to the conductor. II Fournier had SLAM
dersd him, he might have Q civil remedy
sgsinst Fournisr, as he was . responsible
man. Baker then said that IL he had no
other means of redress. no would take
his shooting iron and shoot Fournier.
The ofiicer told him II no did that there
would be ground for Q suit against him,
but the officer had no idea that Baker
would carry out his threat.
Yesterday morning Baker called m
Chief Adams of East Providence and COM
planned OF the disgrace Fournier hac in
fiicted upon him. Later Baker took his
revolver and waiksc down tn Fournior's
place on Builock's Point avenue. He re-
msined in the street. Fournier was stand
ing In his yard with his back turned
toward the street and did not see Baker
when the latter without saying word. 1t
IL alleged, discharged his pistol. The bull
let did not hit Fournier who turned
quickly around but was not frightened
and said, solve US another ball' or
words to that effect. There we're two or
three witnesses of the affair, one of whom
asked who Baker was shooting at, to
which FournIer replied he supposed It
was himself. Baker then went away
and Fournicr made q complaint to Sar-
geapt Monroe, who In turn reported to
Chief Adams. At last accounts Baker had
not been arrested. but he will he unless
he escapes Of which there seems to he no
probability 20 he ewns considerable prop
erty at Rivsrside. The affair created con-
siderable sxcitement,at Riverside.

Fruit Creams OF Former DAYS.

To those old enough to remember the
fruit creams of former days there al
ways seems to be something lacking in
the modern creams, delicate though
these may be. The reason Of this is that
the gelatin, with which these latter are
almost always mixed to save the pro-
longed whipping, destroys both the freeh
flavor and the velvety crispness obtained
by Che simpler, if more fatiguing, proc.
ess Of whipping together the sweetened
fruit Juice and the cream. The right way
is to obtain the fruit Juice and sweeten
it we'll. If this is omitted, the cream
will pretty certainly curdle. Next stir
it into sufficient cream for the juice to
color and flavor nicely, and then whip
the whole together till Of the proper
consistency.
