To Levy an Enormous Tax at Home e
Carry on War In Cuba

Garry on War In Cuba
MADRID, Aug. si-The senate has
adopted the extraordinary budget as roc
commended by General Azcarraga, minis
tar of war; Admiral Beranger, minister Of
marine. and Senior A. Bosch, minister of
public works The Liberal deputies declare
that this is OF the nature of a surprise
vote. and that they will therefore work
with increasing energy-and activity for
the defeat of the governments nancy
rnising proposition in the chamber Of dep
uties
Aug. the extraordinary budget caused
an animated discussion in the chamber OF
deputies Premier Canoyas explained that
the extraordinary budget was necessary,
the insurrection in Cuba, which had spread
over the entire island, preventing the peo-
ple there from contributing their share
toward the expenses of governments. Ho
explained that the government already had
been authorized to borrow 500, 600, 600 pc
setas, but TO apply 20 the Bank Of Spain
for such a loan, he said, would make the
hduoiary circulation enormous. Senior
Moret criticised the governments sohemf
as dangerous. He believed that it would
be better to borrow the money than e
tax the people at the present time

JAPANESE DANCES.
They Are Not Particularly Amusing and
Are Not Indelicate.


They Are Not Particularly Amusing and
Are Not Indelicate.
The form Of amusement Of a dramatic
mature that most interests the traveller In
Japan s. the geysha dance, also tho kQ-
gura, or common religious dance, and the
adzuma-mai, a religious dance performed
in the ancient Shimo-Gamo Shinto temple
near KyotO. These dances are not particu.
larly amusing 30 witness, thonghan sights
of the kind are more or less amusing
when witnessed for the first time. The
best geysha dancing takes place in Kyoto
tho next best In Tokyo, but so rallied gey-
sha dances may be seen n several of tho
large towns
Almost more interesting 70 sec, how
ever, are the religious dances In tho
kagura, for instance, the dancer usually
wears O loose white chemiso garment, Q
pair of tapping trousers, generally of q
bright red color, and O long, transparent
covering formed like "a cloak and orna-
mented with designs resembling crests
Her hair hangs down her buck IN single
tress, flowers adorn her forehead, and her
face is besmeared with white compound,
said TO consist chiefly OF white lead In
her hand she holds bunch of small bells
that Is not unlike "a childis toy. This she
shakes at intervals during the dance.
Sometimes several girls dance at one time,
but in every case their movements are ne
companied by a mournful, scored chant
and by tune played upon n drum and
nuto by priests IL is wrong 20 suppose,
however, as many Europeans who have
visited japan do suppose, thnt the lniya-
kcodori dance is indecent About the gen
uine geysha dance there IS nothing even
indicate OF suggestive. Sketch.

The political discussion began at the

he thought he was. Weyman answered
him in a joking manner and went of.
Rath secured revolver and sat down in
the front yard, awaiting Weyman's 5 return.
When he appeared, Rath began firing be-
fore he got into the yard. After he was
shot Weyman ran down the street, the old
gentleman in pursuit Weyman again re-
turned, and Rath made a second attempt
to kill him, but did not succeed in getting
close enough to fire.
Weyman was taken to a phys.cians Of.
flee, where 1t was found that he WAS badly
wounded. Rath was taken Co the police
station, where he said he was justified In
che act and would do 1t again under the
same circumstances.
Weyman is a cousin of the novelist Stan
ley Weyman, and he Is a writer Of som'
note. He says that the shooting was th'
result Of Mr.. Rath's mental condition ant
does not think 1t malicious attack.

MRS. COLT IN OKLAHOMA.
Wife Of the Providence millionaire
After n Rapid-Transft Divorce.

OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., Jan. 9.-Mrs.
Colt and her daughter and Mr. MCGOWAN
and ]. H. McGill and wife, all of Van
Allen episode fame. arrived at FL Reno
yesterday and registered at the Kerfoot
Hotel. The party had a baggage wagon
full Of trunks and handbags and these.
together with a diamond stud of enormous
size, which glittered in McCowans shirt
front, drew the attention of everybody. 1t
was more baggage and diamonds than ever
before entered this frontier town in one
combination. There was q great deal of
curiosity to know who they were, and when
MCGOWAN gave the barber n silver dollar
for shaving him the curiosity became SO
intense that everybody in town practically
went on a still hunt to fathom their identi-
ty. Then IL became known that Mrs. Colt
was the wife of Colonel S. p Colt, of Pro-
dence, r.. l., who had sued James j. Van
Allen for 100000 for alternating his wife
affections. and that she had come TO Okla
homa to get rapid-transit divorce.
Mrs. Colt had engaged John 1. Ollie as her
attorney before she came here. Mr.. Ollie
is perhaps the best lawyer in the territory
The laws of Oklahoma permit stranger
to live here sixty days and then file suit
for divorce, which is advertised for thirty
days more, and then tried. Mrs. Colts in
tention is to live at FL Reno the required
ninety days and then get divorce.
