HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. %. - Refugees
from the towns of Punta Brava and Qua.
tan, twelve miles away, have arrived at
Havana, and state that reign of terror
exists in their locality in consequence of
troops having massacred peaceful citizens
at Guatan on Saturday, the 22d.
The official Government report issued on
Sunday stated that fight occurred near
Punta Bravo on the previous day between
the troops sent from Mariana and the in
surgent lands of Villa Neuva and Acosta,
resulting in a glorious victory for the
Spa nish arms, twenty insurgents having
been killed and fifteen prisoners taken.
Residents at Guatan have identified
eighteen of the dead as pacificos peaceful
citizens). Two were insurgents, and the
prisoners are nearly all said to be peaceful.
One of them, named Ladislo Quintero,
claims American citizenship. He is
wounded by ball in the arm.
The following names of dead Pacificos
have been obtained: Jose Centera, Pedro
Amdor, Pascal Chavez, Vidal Perdito,
Francisco Loza, H. Quisano, NJ. Herman
dez, Ascance Garcia, Francisco Sales and
Pancho Chico. 1t is impossible to obtain
the names o: the others owing to the
fright of the inhabitants.
a thorough investigation by American
correspondents, despite the fact that one
of their number had been arrested and
lodged in MORO Castle accused of visiting
Guatan. has resulted in obtaining the fol-
lowing facts
On the morning of the ODD band not
exceeding forty insurgents, under Villa
nueva and Acosta, were attacked on the
highway by troops under Lieutenant Zieu-
gesti and civil guards under Aicalde at
Hoyo Colorado, a town two miles west OF
Punta Brava. The fight occurred at the
western entrance of Punta Brava, twelve
miles from Havana. 1t resulted in the
wounding OF one Spanish soldier, who was
shot in the head and died hall hour later.
The insurgents withdrew and the troops
entered Punta Brava and remained two
hours, sending mounted messengers to
Mariana, five miles east, asking that troops
be sent TO Punta Bravo. Lieutenant Zleu-
gesti then moved his detachment back to
Hoyo Colorado.
Mariana, in command OF troops there, sent
9OO men including the Battalion Publico,
volunteers, firemen and a section of horse
artillery, all under command of Captain
Galvo.

THERE is one sacred duty that
the incoming legislature owes to
the people and that is the enact
ment of a law regulating the charg-
es in Arizona of the Wells Fargo
company. This company's charg-
es in Arizona is absolutely infam-
ious and are not far removed from
highway robbery. Past legislatures
Z have time and time again prom
ised the people q suitable law would
be passed protecting shippers from
the rapacity Of the common carri-
ers of the territory, but up to date
only false promises have been given,
now the nineteenth legislature is
strongly democratic and are also
under pledge to enact such lAws
and we feel that they will keep
their pledges. The taxpayers of
Arizona are tired of being held up
by these quasi highwaymen and

DOES SORROW KILL?

1t is pretty generally regarded
as a romantic exaggeration when
the declaration is made that a per.
son dies Of a broken heart, but
medical science seems to bring the
authority Of realism to bear upon
the question in confederation Of
the statement.
That great French medical au-
thority Laennec, stated that sor-
row and annoyances were consid-
erable factors in inducing tuber-
culosis in cities.
Moral influences have been con-
sidered capable of producing vio-
lent illness, and not only human
beings, but birds and certain ami
mails have undoubtedly succumbed
to conditions corresponding to
nostalgia.
In most Of these cases there was
discovered hyperalmia in the alb
dominal organs.
This excess of blood is probably
due to the arrangement of the
nervous system through the shocl
Of the brain.
A like theory may accoant fol
the palpitation of the heart per
ceptible under strong and suddenly
experienced emotion. The braii
centre becomes disturbed, the res
training nerves become temporari
ly deranged, hence the palpitation
People often scoff at the idea o
homesickness as a disease, but it il
those only who have never ex
perienced it. Physicians anC
surgeons state that nostalgia o,
hOmesickness, was one of th,
greatest obstacles with which they
had to contend during the lat'
war, and that the condition o
wounded men was much NOR,
serious if suffering from nostalgia
and that, on the other hand, th,
prospect Of returning home seem
ed to have an astonishing effec
toward physical recovery.
Some remarkable stories ar,
told Of the effect Of the imagina
ton upon strong, well persons
reducing them to state of absolut,
collapse and finally death. More
credit should be given to q sount
state Of nerves and perfect circula
ton Of the blood than to remark
able mental equilibrium, in notet
instances of manifest courage, a
courage has been proven to b.
largely a physical quality.

RVS Presidents, was for twenty
four hours the possessor of all the
rights and powers incidental to
that great Office. President Polk S
term expired in 1849, one of the
rare years when March 4 falls on
Sunday. He became private
citizen of the Republic at noon on
that day, and, as President-elect
Taylor refused, from religious
scruples, to take the oath of Office
on the holy day, Atchison, as
President pro tempore Of the Sen
ate, was constructively the Nations
Chief Executive until the next noon,
when the conscientious General

To RUN newspaper without oc-
caslonally publishing an item that
is untrue or give offense is like
running railroad without having
.smashups and accidents. 1t can't
be done. No man in the world is
so much imposed upon as an editor
of a newspaper. Pushed with
work continually, he must rely
upon second and third parties for
INFORMATION as to the events that
transpire. Frequently statements
are received from reliable peopi ),
but which are subsequently dis
covered to be without foundation
in fact. If, therefore, kind reader,
YOU find yourself aggravated by
any statement in your local paper
keep that fact in mind. Do not
"f1y off the handle but so to the
editor and ask for a correction;
and take our word for it, nine
cases in ten if your case is just,
YOU will be received like gentle
man and the correction made with
pleasure. But, instead of this, lfI
YOU go around blowing about the
editor and his paper don't be sur
pissed if you get treated with scant
courtesy when you visit the office.

The GUARDIAN has several times

The GUARDIAN has several times
mentioned the fact that sugar
factory is just the thing for this
valley, on account of every con-
dition being favorable to the pro-
duction of the sugar beet. The
Southeastern St0ckmrR, Farmer and
Feeder has the following OH the
subject, upon which we invite COL
respondence:
"The GUARDIAN of Stafford advo-
Gates sugar factory for the Gra-
ham valley. A prosperous sugar
factory in q prosperous section Of
country is good thing, yet when
we study all the conditions and
the expense connected with a fac
tor of any capacity, we are not
sure but what some other things
are better. If instead Of raising
the sugar beet the farmers would
raise sorghum and alfalfa, and fat
ten cattle upon them, they would
make more sure money from 6
smaller outlay, with less labor, il
sharter time than the raising O.
the sugar beet, and the land will
remain in better condition. In ;
country like ours, where cattle art
raised in abundance, and can b.
put on such feed at a minimum
cost, there is more clear money t
be made marketing 1t on foot thar
by reducing it, by means of a cost
ly factory into some other market
able product and shipping it ou
Of the country at high rate o
freight. A study of these condi
tons will prove the assertion"

WHEN the state of Texas was ad,
mitted into the Union, in 1915,
President Jackson (Old Hickory
wrote to Sam Houston, congra-
tulatroy letter, in which he stated
among other things, IN the way of
advice; "But to protect your NOR
ais and cap the climax of your
prosperity and protect the labor Of
your country, you must provide in
your constitution, by positive
provision, that your Legislature
never shall establish a bank,
or any corporation whatever, with
a power to issue paper; that no
bank shall be established by the
legislature except on a specie basis,
and then with the powers ofreceiv-
ing of deposits and exchange.
There was nor ever could be use
for any other kind, except for
spectators and gamblers in stock,
and this to the utter ruin of the
labor and morals of a country. A
specie currency gives life and ac-
ton to the producing classes on
which the prosperity of all is found
ed." There is where W. j. Bryan

THE laborlng man is labor's
worst enemy, and in all contests
between labor and capital 1t is the
laboring man that has defeated the
ends sought by labor. Yet they
cry of the oppression" of labor
by capital, but when they should
act like men they fail to do so and
are the first to lick spittle and stab
labor in the back. Labor possesses
the numerical strength to poll a
thousand votes to one polled by
capital; but do they ever do it?
Never. Therefore, one naturally
concludes that if labor is "oppres-
sed" by capital it simply receives
its just deserts. Let any man
even the Divine Savior Himself
set about fighting the battle of the
laboring man; let him antagonize
capital in his warfare for "oppres-
scd' labor; let him incur the en-.
nifty of the political thieves; let
him announce himself a candidate
for the people-the laboring peo-
ple-with the intention of inaugu-
rating reforms, ETC.; then watch
and see who are the first to stab
him in the back? Not much. On
the other hand, the laborlng man
seems to take particular delight in
doing his best to "down" him at
the polls. This is true picture,
however distastful it may be to
some.-Arizona PopuliSt.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

It never pays to overload young
teams.
1t costs more to keep poor horse
than good one.
/ Never feed the work teams mostly
aay when it is possible to avoid.
After cream becomes sour, the more
ripening the more it depreciates.
Feed oats to form bone and muscle
and corn and oil-cake to make fat.
Increasing the product and cheaper
ing the cost will increase the profits.
Teach the colts to walk well and you
will lay good foundation for other
gaits. sa ~
from their noon rest if the harness is
removed.
Always keep the plow sharp. 1t
makes better and easier work for the
men and teams.
When the lambs come running to
their feed it is a good indication that
they are feeling well.
The best systems of cropping are in
variably those which call for the most
thorough preparation of the soil.
There is only one way of receiving
good reputation for producing good
article from the farm, and that is to
produce it.
The object in fertilizing is not only
to add to the elements in the soil, but
to aid those already there and make
them availa ble.-Farmers' Review.
