black soldiers of the First battalion,

cred in the parade gardens belonging
to the government and played havoc
with the trees. They cleared the gar
dens of visitors, chasing them with
sticks. Others went into the Sollas
market and ransacked stores. The
military authorities were telephoned to,
and a picket of 200 men under a white
officer named Buck were sent to the
scene. The officer galloped away from
his men, and, riding full speed down to
the parade gardens, a distance of two
miles, ran his horse right into the CEN

recover from their surprise, he ordered
them to fall into line, and snatching

Ceustas Trying to Establish Himself
In Power.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Nov. 20
1T Is rumored-and the rumor can be
easily traced to high sources-that the
president ad interim, Senior Ceustas.
intends to establish a dictatorship. He
has taken upon himself extraordinary
powers to prevent a rebellion, and Mon
teVideo is practically under martial
law. Under the presidents orders
troops have occupied all the strategic
points Of the city and the excitement is
intense. Cannon have been run into
positions overlooking the Plaza de Ar
mas, to prevent the gathering Of crowds
there, and troops are now on guard all
over the city
In the meantime, President Ceustas
has placed a strong guard around the
bic ok in which is situated the home OF
Senior Julio Herrera and Senior Herrera
is a prisoner. He Is Senior Ceustas'
principal opponent in the race for presi-
dent. and it is believed he is at the
head Of the movement which has for
it's purpose the overthrow of Ceustas
by force. 1t is to prevent such a move
mtnt that President Ceustas has taken
radical steps. SenDr Ceustas was for
merly president Of the senate, and when
President Bonda was assassinated took

PENCILS TRANSMIT DISEASE.
Plan to Prevent Spread of Diphthc-
ria in indianapolis schools.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. l9.-City
Sanitarian Clark and School Commits
sioner Adams have hit upon plan
which they think will lessen the num-
Der of diphtheria cases among school
children. 1t is their opinion that the
system used in the schools of collecting
the pens and pencils, putting them in
a box. and then distributing them in
the morning, is instrumental in the dis
tribution of diphtheria germs. In the
distributor of the pencils each scholar
receives a different pencil from that
he used on the day before. BY wetting
the pencils the germs are transferred
from one scholar to a pencil and the
germ is transferred from the pencil to
the next scholar who comes into con-
tact with it. The plan agreed upon is
the result of experimenting by Clark
and Adams with a sterilizing oven, in
which the pencils are placed and are
acted upon by formaldehyde gas, thus
killing the disease germs. The use of
the oven will be urged in all the schools

SPANISH CALI.

The peace proposals from Madrid are
suggestive of several conundrums. The
first is. why does Spain propose peace?
That is easy TO answer. 1t is because
she can't whip Cuba. Then why should
she have one hundred million dollars
damage through 4 peace proposal after
she has failed to conquer the Cubans:
That is not easy. Ii is customary in

acknowledgment of defeat The inSur-
gents seem 10 be in good fighting order.

abandon their cause and agree to put

posed il, but ii is riddle in this quarter

some time ago by Secretary Olney, that
this would he done, and gratuitously
accepts the terms"
But here we are puzzled again. Who
authorized President Cleveland and
Secretary Olney to endorse such a
draft? Granting that they promised it
in good faith, there are some sc, 999, 99S
other people who would not consent to
it Add this amount to the one hundred
and sixtytwo millions of bonds issued
since Cleveland came into Office, then
it makes quite a sum. In addition 10
this, owing TO certain tariff and finan-
cial reforms for which Cleveland is re-
sponsible, the ability of our people to
put up this sum is somewhat abridged.
Then we ask: Where do we come in on
the benefits derived? We would like 10
see peace declared, but we do not want
it that much.
For pure, unadulterated cheek, this
peace proposal furnishes the brightest
example we have seen. The only reason
able explanation is that the report is not
true. Messrs. Cleveland and Olney and
Prime Minister CanOvas del Castillo
may disport themselves to their hearts
content, but it is quite likely that a ma
iority of native Cubans and nearly all
the people of this country will claim to
be parties in interest, and that the nego-
.iations will never be regarded more

ions now are that Cuba will achieve
