Comment on Balfour's Speech.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The st. James

noon upon the speech of first lord
of the treasury, Rt. Hon. A. J.
Balfour, made in Manchester last
night, says: "Mr. Balfour does not
give encouragement to the diplo-
matte amateurs who are trying to
get the Americans to believe they
are wrong and will end by knuck-
ling down. Those, who have been
led to believe that Marquis Sails
bury intends to apply to Washing
ton, asking that it be good enough
to arbitrate or conciliate, are much
mistaken and we sincerely hope
they have not been able to lead
American opinion to share their
error"

The rule that passengers be re-
quired to strap or rope baggage
emanated from the fertile brain Of

The rule Of proper marking Of

ton offered by Baggage Agent Nc

LIFE INSURANCE SWINDLERS.
A New Brand of Fraud Allotted by Tn
scrupuious Medical Practitioners.

The discovery has just tcen made by
the medical examiners OF some of the
leading life-insurance companies that
an INSCRIPTIONS class of practitioners
are making business of "doctoring"
diseased applicants for policies so they
can deceive the agents of the COM
panies, and thereby swindle those or
CARNATIONS, says the New York World.
So extensive has this nefarious practice
become that 1t is proposed to hold
convention of insurance examiners for
the purpose of devising plans to coun
teract it. Heart trouble, for instance,
is one of the commonest causes Of re-
lection for life insurance. The stetho-
scope; under ordinary conditions show
the condition of the heart, but 1t has
been found possible to doctor" a man
who is suffering from, say, valvular in
the time being the heart acts in a per-
fectly healthy manner and would be
passed by the keenest examiners as all
right. In like manner 1t Is possible
to administer medicaments that will
hide all evidence of Brights disease,
provided it is not too far advanced. And
the same thing is true of persons suf-
fering from diabetes and many other
diseases. The question is a most i'm
portant one, not only for the companies,
but for bona-fide policy-holders, and it
probably will be made subject OF leg
islation in every state in the Union.

THE FOUR QUARTERS
NEWS OF INTEREST FROM ALL
OVER THE GLOBE.
Havana the Scene of Great Excitement
Caused by Dynamite Explosions Which
Nearly Cut on the Water Supply-Dis-
ease and Famine Feared.
Reign of Terror in Havana.

Havana: This city was startled
and alarmed ut p. III. by the
noise of two successive explosions
which was heard for several miles.
CONSERVATION prevailed for time as
it was feared that this was u prelude
to an attack by the insurgents or to Il
series of similar explosions. Excited
throngs rushed to the streets while an
armed party proceeded in the direction
from which the detonations had been
heard 1t was soon found that the
stone bridge of Christina and Concha
and the aqueduct of Bernardo and Sep
tino were the points that had suffered
from the dynamite. The bridges were
partially destroyed and the pipes on
the aqueduct, upon which the city is
dependent for its water supply, were
much damaged.
There is no doubt that the dynamite
which caused this wreck was placed by
agents of the insurgents. 1t has been
their determination, announced some
time since, to cut off the water supply
of Havana and so make the city as
nearly uninhabtable as possible. The
greatest apprehension is felt on account
of the secrecy and effectiveness with
! with which the insurgents have been
able to carry oat their designs.
All traits and vegetables and fresh
meats are unprecedentedly high-priced
and difficult to obtain in Havana and
milk is of the poorest. There is much
fever, and smallpox has broken out
and in the unwholesome condition of
affair threatens to become epidemic.
Many are suffering from measles, and
there is much intestinal trouble among
the inhabitants owing to poor and in
sufficient food. The failure of the
water supply under these conditions is
| dire alamity.
Another sensation has been created
at Havana by an editorial on
the situation of affairs i'll Cuba, in
the Diaro del Commercial, the leading
paper Of Barcelona, Spain. Copies of
| the paper which reached Havana have
been suppressed by Capt.-Gen Weyler.
| The subject Of the editorial is Senior
| Sagastas statement that the war is
annually costing SPAN SOC, 100000 pese-
tas lover $1,000 ,000) and $4,000 sol
