MATTERS POLITICAL.
Chsirman Jones Says the Report About
Hill IL With out Foundation.

Washington, August 7.-Chsirman
Jones was back 81 Democratic head
quarters to-day. He said concerning
his visit to Senator Hill that there was
no authority for statements that Mr..
Hill had declared himself to him
tJones) on the political situation. On
the contrary Mr.. Jones says Mr.. Hill 10
. man who keeps his own counsel and,
like others in New York, Is probably
awaiting the sction Of the State con-
vention in September.
When asked as to the remark attrib-
uted to him that "Hill is all right"
Mr. Jones said he had stated from time
to time that he had NO doubt Mr.. Hill
Will be all right, but there was no rea-
aon for giving any Significance to this
opinion In connection with she meeting
In New York. Chairman Jones goes to
Frostburg. Md, tonight to remain
until Monday, when he will 70 to New
York to attend the notification meeting
at Madison Square Garden.
At Republican headquarters a letter
was received today from George w.
Post, chairman of the Republican State
committee of Nebraska stating that
despite the local Bryan sentiment the
State was sure to roll up majority for
Mckinley and Hobart. The nominati ton
OF Pingree for governor of Michigan &C.
casioned much comment and opinion
was divided, although the prevailing
impression among officials WAS that Pin.
gree would hold the votes of q consider
able element which otherwise might
have gone to Bryan.
At the Populiss headquarters salts
faction Is expressed that Watson in his
speech at Atlanta declared his purpose
Of supporting Bryan. So far az Is known
here no invitation has been extended to
Mr.. Watson to be present at the notifi-
cation meeting at New York next week
In view OF this fact there ia consider
able speculation IS to the meaning of
his remark at Atlanta last night that
he would be heard from at the meeting
at New York.
At Populist headquarters no word has
been received from Senator Allen,
chairman Of the committee on notifcs-
ton, and Ii seems to be taken for
granted that the committee will not be
called upon to act.

An Intellectual Attempt to Hold Up the
Paying Teller.

An Intellectual Attempt to Hold Up the
Paying Teller.
Jacksonville, Fla, August IAN in
etectual attempt was made to hold up
the paying teller of the Southern Saw
ings and Trust Bank to-day to secure
5000. AS the result, Walter L Cham
berlain received bullet wound in his
abdomen, the DULLES passing entirely
through the body and coming out at his
hip. Chamberlain entered the bank
shortly after noon and asked to see she
cashier, A. +. Perry. Archie Hubbard,
the paying teller. informed the stranger
that Perry was out.
The man presented note signed
THE Cubsns" demanding IS, 900 at once
and saying he would dash muriatic acid
in Hubbard's face If the demand was re.
fused. The stranger began to pour the
acid from bottle into glass when
Hubbard seized q revolver and shot
him. Chamberlain had an eccomplice
who stayed at the outer door but who
pulled off his false wbiskers and ran
when the shot was fired. He was not
apprehended.
The chances for Chamberlain's re-
covery are very slight, He Is evidently
derapged. He has been financially
embarrassed and this may have preyed
upon his mind. Chamberlain ct one
time resided ~ Louisville.

and the floods of the great aerial deep
had broken loose. So abundant is the
rainfall. in fact. that, as recent travel
er remarks, the wonder is that any is
land remains; that the whole is not dis
solved and carried off into the sea. But
in Cuba NO nne minds the rain.
Notwithstanding the peculiarities Of
its coast line, Cuba has more than 200
excellent ports. The principal of these
are Havana, Bahia Hondo. Puerto de
Cabanas, Matanzas, Cardenas, Sagua la
Grande. La Guanaja. Nuevitas, Mala-
gueta, Manati, Puerto del Padre, Santi-
ago de Cuba, Manzanillo, Canto, Santa
Cruz, Cienfuegos. Cochinos and La Broa.
The rivers of Cuba are not large, but
numerous. there being no less than 900
OF them, all told, and that is exclusive
OF small creeks and dry beds of torrents,
called arroyos. The Canto, the only real
~ navigable stream, rises in the Sierra
del Cobre and has its outlet on the south
coast near Manzanillo. There are few
other streams which are navigable for
small boats for distance Of from to
20 miles. Next in Importance are the
streams Guines and Ay. At one time it
was the intention to cut canal through
the land intervening and bisect the is
land, but the idea was finally abandoned
as impracticable.
Cuba contains many mineral springs
which are famed for their valuable heal.
ing properties. principal among them
being those known as the baths of sar
Diego.
The temperature Of the water is 81
