A late despatch from Havana says that
smallpox has broken out there and over
2OOO cases are now in the city. The infec-
ton, which was brought by the soldiers
from Spain, has spread to cities in Pinar
del Rio. Yellow fever and malaria are
also ravaging the island. In only two
months the depressing warm weather be-
gins and then contagious diseases spread
twice as fast as in the winter. Cuba is
now focus of disease and may become a
source of grave danger to the health of
this country and of the whole world. The
insurgents, who have practically put the
city of Havana in a state of siege, contin-
lie their guerilla tactics, which Weyler
cannot meet successfully with his army.
The rebels rely on disease and the bank
ruptcy of the Spanish treasury as their al
lies in winning them the fight.

The wise utterances of President Grant In
his memorable message of December 7,
1875, are slgnally relesan to tue present
situation In Cuba and It may be wholesome
now, to recall them. At that time a ruinous
conflict had for seven years wasted the
neighbOring Isl and. During all those years
an utter disregard OF the laws of civilized
warfare and of the just demands of hui
manity, which called forth expressions Of
condemnation from the nations of Christ
endom, continued undated
At that juncture General Grant uttered
these words, which now, as then, sum up
the elements Of the problem. "a recogni-
ton of the indepe dence of Cuba being, in
my mind impracucable and indefensible,
the question which next presents itself Is
that of the recognition Of belligerant rights

Most people who happen to have been

rather in hurry to get down again. The

pleasant sensation. A tenant Of one
of the tall buildings in New York states
that the giant edifice in which he has
his office sways foot in an average
high wind, and during a gale even ex-
ceeds that limit. An ingenious method
invented by New York manufacturer.
In his establishment, which is in a
lofty building, he uses very heavy ma
chinery, which renders the building
very top-heavy During wind there
was always possibility Of the build
ing being wrecked by the tearing Of the
machinery through the walls. The
manufacturer caused his floor to be
partially zinc lined and converted into a
gigantic tank. This he flooded with
water. Then huge pontoons of RATS

KILLING AN OLD FRIEND.
Pathetic Tale From nichigan Affect
ing Nine Lives.

A man was creeping along the Shad-
ow of fence in Adams avenue the
other night, says the Detroit Journal -
In his eye shone a light that BODIED no
good for the man or devil that crossed
his path. In one hand he carried a
large-sized revolver, and his heart was
full of determination. He presented a
sinister appearance as he slowly made
his way through the darkness, and the
while muttered beneath his breath:
Tom has been a friend to me, but
his action of this night is more than l
can forgive. If I find him he shall
die-e-e; curse him!"
The man with the fell purpose in his
heart took a flask from his pocket and
placing it to his lips, drank deeply of
it's BRAIN firing contents, and then, as
he again moved forward into the deep
er shadows that surrounded the wood
shed, he seemed more spectral than be-
fore. Suddenly poor, doomed Tom ap-
peared silhoutted against stormy sky.
Without moments warning the man
drew q bead and fired A terrible
scream rent the air, which was closely
followed by another shot, and still an
other and yet more, until six shots
had been fired
The reports were punctured with I'M
earthly screams, shrieks and groans
but they grew fainter and fainter. and
hnally died away with the reverbera-
ton of the last shot. By this time a
large number of excited neighbors had
congregated on the spot and shudder-
ingiy they viewed the remains of Bill
