my trouble at once and has made me a

which to deposit in the various gov
ernment centres all the corn procurable
in the provinces of Pinar del Rio, Ha-
vana and MatanZas. The owners Of the
corn must carry or transport it TO the
villages nearest to whkich are detach-
ments Of Spanish troops. If the coun-
try people are unable to transport the
corn themselves they will be furnished
with the necessary vehicles, and the
military authorities at the collecting
centres have been authorized TO pur-
chase the corn at market price or re-
ceive it on deposit. AT the expiration
of 20 days all corn not deposited or so
purchased by the military authorities
will be considered contraband of war
and the owners Of it will be punished as
criminals.
During recent skirmishes in the pro-
vinces of Havana and Pinar del Rio, the

THE A. Z. A. COUNCIL.

Several Congressman Speak Before the
CounciI-The Junior A. r. A. and wom-
ans Auyii ary.
Washington, May 15.-Various mat
ters of significance TO the interests Of
the A. p. A. were brought before the
Supreme Council at its meeting to-day.
The session was devoted mainly TO the
consideration of committee reports and
addresses by the members. Congress
men spoke before the council during the
afternoon. Among them were Messrs.
Linton. Of Michigan, and Hilborn, Of
California.
The report of the committee on agita-
tion was taken up. The committee took
the ground that agitation without edu-
cation is dangerous to the cause. Edu-
cation. it was held must come first. and
to this end 1t was recommended that a
bureau of information be established.
This bureau was to consist OF the sll-
preme president and one member OF
each of the various State councils.
The work of the Jr. A. p. A. was re-
viewed and the proposition urged that
that body be placed under the control
of the Women't auxiliary of the A. p. A.
The main point of the report, how
ever. was the recommendation that all
property in the United States except
such as Is owned and used by the ma
tional. State or municipal organizations
be taxed. The report aroused some dis
cussion, but was adopted.
The advisory board is working on its
report to the council and will submit
IL early tomorrow morning.

A wiry-framed old patriarch, with
strikingly handsome features. and long
hair that fell in ringlets about his
shoulders, no one once having seen him
could forget him. Passing along one OF
the principal Edinburgh streets. he
was accosted one day by a very dirty
little street gamin with: Shine your
boots, sir"
The urchin was very importunate.
and the professor, being impressed
with the extreme filthiness Of the boys
face. remarked:
II don't want a shine, my lad: but II
YOU 90 and wash your face I'll give you
a sixpence."
"A richt. sir" was the lads reply,
and. going over TO an adjacent drink
ing fountain, he made his ablutions.
Returning, he held out his hand for the
money. well, my lad" said the pro-

Huntington W Va, May 15.-The
latest adventure along the Norfolk &
Western was an attempt to rob north
bound passenger and express train at a
small watering station two miles south
Of Nolan. in Mingo county, last mid
night.
The watering place referred to is one
at which all trains on the line OF the
road are compelled to stop. About 10
o'clock last night a gang Of armed men
congregated at this place and began
holding high carnival. They proceed
ed to rob a general store near by Of
quite a sum Of money, after which they
repaired to the watering place to await
the coming Of the north-6ound express.
\ few minutes later a freight train
pulled in to take water and the citizens
notified the crew of the intentions Of
the mob near by. The freight train did
not wait TO take water, but knowing
that the train would soon pass William
son. the last telegraph station on the
south. they Immediately departed for
Nolan with all speed possible.
Reaching the telegraph Office they i'm
mediately wired the fast express at Will
hanson not to stop at the tank and gave
them their reasons. When the mess
age was received at Williamson the
train had already pulled in and it was
within one minute Of leaving time. The
passengers were notified to be on their
guard and all the crew armed them
selves with the intention Of fighting till
the last If necessary.
It was decided. however. not to stop
at the tank. Accordingly. the train
pulled out, and when they came near
/ the watering place the engineer gave his
engine the full limit and went by the
i tank at the rate Of go miles an hour.
A line of men could be seen on each
side Of the track. well armed. as they
went by, and there were at least thirty
/ of them.
Citizens of that section say the rob-
bers left for the mountains and that
; nothing has been seen Of them to-day.
A strong guard will be out along the
line in that section tonight TO prevent
another attempt. Much excitement
prevails along the line to-day as the re-
suit Of last nights occurrence.

SPAIN IMP0TENT.

A London Times Correspondent
Makes Important Statements.

London, May 16.-The Times pub
fishes a three-column letter this morn
ing from a correspondent in Havana
under date of May ,. In the course OF
the letter this correspondent says:
1T is quite useless to hide the real
situation. The whole island is in revol,
and the Spanish troops are merely act
ing on the defensive. 1t is impossible
that they can prevent the landing OF
supplies and war materials for the reb-
els. Even the position of Maceo's
forces. confined in Pinar del Rio, is not
of a desperate nature, as the Spaniards
make believe.
only few isolated rebels have taken
advantage of Captain General Weyler's
offer of amnesty. Spain has lost the
power to protect life and property in
Cuba.
Widespread inquiries fail to justify
the charges of cruelty against Captain
General Weyler, but the rebels destruc-
tion OF property cannot be justified.
The wanton burning of some 100000
pounds worth of property belonging TO
inoffensive people is not war"

Altgeld yesterday gave a respite to Mic
Marzden. convicted of the murder Of

not get any sleep until long after mid
night. He. however, ceased the raving
which he has kept up for the last three
or four days and apologized to the
guards for the trouble ne had given
them, but protested that he was inno-
cent. Just before the time set for the
execution word came that a stay had
been granted Windrath, Judge Baker
allowing a postponement for three
weeks.
Fields, the only remaining one of the
trio who was to be hanged to-day, was
executed at 1927 D. m.

Mcdonald, Pa, May 15.-To-day
while Mrs. James Cadamore, the wife
of miner, was pouring oil on a coal
fire to make it blaze, there was an ex-
plosion that set the womans clothes
afire and scattered burning oil all over
the room.
Seeing that she could not extinguish
the flames she rushed into an adjoin-
ing room to save her sleeping two-year-
old child.
Taking it from its crib she hurried
back into the kitchen, unconscious OF
the fact that her blazing dress had
communicated fire to the little one,
still asleep.
Calling her three other children, who
were in another part of the house, she
decided to rush them through the
flames.
Before she could anything she was
overcome and fell TO the floor.
The youngsters tried to extinguish
the fire around their burning parent,
but were compelled to- leave her and
the two-year-old baby to the flames.
Before the people living in the near
est house could rush TO the aid OF the un-
fortunate family, all that remained in
the building was the charred corpse of
the mother and that of her baby in her
arms.
The children were dragged from the
room with their clothes ablaze and
were in the most pitiable condition.
The three children are terribly burn
ed, and will die.
