SPAIN WILL LOSE CUBA. That is
the opinion of Secretary John Sher-
man, as given in a recent interview.
He is quoted as saying: d
.'Spain will lose Cuba. That seems
to me to be certain. She cannot con-
tinue the struggle. Already the strug-
gle has cost her more than $500, 900, 600
Her money is gone and she can get no
more. She has reached the limit of
, her borrowing capacity. She cannot
pay back what she has already bor-
rowed. The only thing left for her to
do is to repudiate her debts. We had
to do that after the Revolution.
'sAfter having repudiated she can
begin anew, but she will have to begin
without Cuba. That country isdevas-
tated. The insurgents have been
fighting with only the hope of ultimate
success as their reward. = ~

Late Monday afternoon the special COM
mitteex of the, city council, consisting OF
Alderman DeLeo, Kraemer and Munsinger..
appointed to see what arrangements could
be made for city lookup, held a conferences
with County Commissioned Ed Miller. Ar
rahgements were made to receive city pris-
oners temporarily at the county Jail until
other provisions could be made. It's likely
that al the next meeting OF the commission
ers the council will make a proposition to the
board to rent the separate cell room in the
new addition to the county Jail and put in a
cage to be used as city lookup At pres
ent the county has apparently no need for
this cell room, and it would make very
convenient city lookup. 1t is widely sep-
arated from the county jail and there would
beino contactwith the prisoners in the coun.
ty Jail by this arrangement.-St Cloud
Times. & 81
Seen relative to the above item,
commissioners Smith expressed him
self emphatically against leasing any
part of the jail to the city OF ST. Cloud
for lookup purposes. The purpose of
enlarging the jail and making two
separate apartments, was that there
might be separation of county pris-
oners that the young and erring
might not be compelled to associate
with the old and hardened. He says
he does not favor the county building
apartments to let.
And he is right. St. Cloud is
abundantly able to build suitable
lookup for the reception Of city pris-
oners. The jail is needed for the pur-
pose for which it was erected. The
whole argument for extension falls
through with the leasing of any part
of it.

money-lender of this city, has brought
suit to have his fathers estate held in
trust until certain claims amounting

says that when his father left Boston
in early days to come to California he
took with him the claimants savings
amounting to sIs7.5o. He alleges that
this formed the basis for the money
lenders fortune and that it was agreed
the money should be invested in the

this money, loaned at the rate of in

father, would now amount to 1854, 36s

of his tribe had been holding big
talk, about twenty miles from the GU

allotment of land in severalty to the
Uncompahgres, except mineral land.
The Indian says that the Uncompah-
pres were dissatisfied with information
given them about the land allotment,
and were determined to ascertain posi-
lively about their so-called rights on
reservation. Uneasiness undoubtedly
prevailed among the Indians, they be-
ing suspicious of unfair treatment by

BARNEY BARNATo IS DEAD.
The Modern Monte Christie Commits Suicide
by Leaping Into the Sea.

by Leaplng Into the Sea.
London, June 16.-It is announced
that Barney Barnato, the South African
diamond king, who was among the
passengers from Funchai, island OF
MADEIRA. had committed suicide by
leaping overheard. His body was re-
covered
Ill-health for some time is the prob
able cause of Barnato's tragic end.
The late Barney Barnato was in many
respects the most remarkable specula-
tor of the century. OF all the English
men who have taken part in the devel-
opment of South Africa, two only have
secured a worldwide reputation.
These are Cecil Rhodes and barnett
Isaacs, more often and less respectfully
styled Barney. Barnato was an as
sumed name, sort of stage name, for
he began his life in South Africa by
exhibiting trick donkey some twenty
five years ago. He was then 20 years
of age.
Barney Barnato was an English Jew,
and illustrated in an extraordinary
way the financial genius of his race.
Up to the point where his fortunes be-
gan to decline he made money by leaps
and bounds, and in 1895, when his good
fortune was at its zenith, it was esti-
mated that he controlled interests
worth in the neighborhood of 9l0O,-
600, 900. 1t was the fashion to call him
the richest man in the world. At that
time he was virtually the king of the
London money market. In the autumn
of 1895, when the boom in Kaffirs, the
shares of the comparatively new gold
mines of the Transvaal, South Africa,
was at its height, every man, woman
and child in London with money to in
vest invested it in Kaffirs. For months
it was the controlling passion IN Lon
don and it was most rampant in Paris
and Berlin. The shares went to un-
heard of figures, and fortunes were
made In q day.
While in Africa he married and had |
three children, two boys and daugh-
Ter. He always had, or protested to
nave, boundless faith in the future of
he Transvaal, and his person al popu-
arity was great among all classes of
Africanders.
Barney Barnato's suicide must cause
ruin among small invest
RS. They had pinned their faith to
i'm. The big spectators, having had
inside knowledge of his serious condi-
ion, have either cleared out or been
his stock with profit.
lis death has convinced the public of
he utter rottenness of the South At
Ican boom, which now easily takes
ank as the biggest stock speculation
theme on record.

isalloon Bursts.

Berlin, June 14.--fIerr Woelfert, an
aeronaut, accompanied by machinist
named Knake, made an experimental
ascent in n so-called steering air ship
from the Tempelhoff common, which
resulted disastriously. When the bal
loon, which had been filled at a mill
tary ballooning establishment, had
reached height of 1900 feet, a loud
explosion was heard and the next mo-
ment the balloon was seen to be ablaze.
The car, which was also on fire, de-
tached itself from the burning silk
and fell with fearful rapidity to the
ground. Both of it's occupants were
found to be dead. Their bodies were
burned.
1t appears that the benzine used In
the steering gear motor exploded
causing the disaster.

BLOWN UP WITH DYNAMITE.
Sine-Year cid Tommy Fsnueis, at Mercur
Blown to Pieces.

Mercur, Utah, June 14.-Thoma,
Fanuels. aged o, was killed by the ex-
plosion of five sticks OF giant powder.
Little Tommy along with his brother
John and Willie Thomas, both seven
years old, got possession of some giant
powder, fuse and caps in some way.
The three boys trudged from the
mouth of the gulch where the Fanuels
live few hundred yards up in the
Sacramento belt where they found as
a suitable place for the use of their ex-
plosives the board covering of an old
shaft hole.
A cap was put on the fuse and five
sticks OF giant powder on top OF the
fuse. Then the fuse was ignited by
one OF the venturesome little fellows.
The two younger boys ran but Tommy
stood by the boards. The two boys
who ran were knocked over when the
explosion came but not seriously injur-
ed. Tommy's hands were blown off,
one leg broken and hole made In his
chest. He was alive when found, and
was taken TO the hospital where he
lived three. hours when his suffering
ceased with death.

naming Sioux braves want to erect
shaft fifteen feet high, six feet at the
oase and tapering to an apex of six
inches at the top, The stone is to be
made OF Sioux Falls granite, and the
expense of it viii be borne entirely by
the Indians.

Finance Committee on Lead Ore.

Washington, June 16.-The Repub-
llcan members of the committee on fl
nance heard the representatives of the
two sides of the controversy over lead
ore. There has been persistent effort
since the committee increased the rate
from 1c to 11Sc a pound, to have the
house rate restored, and even to secure
the restoration of the rate in the Will
son law, which is &c a pound. The
contest, in general way, is between
the shelters, who want to secure the
huxing ores from Mexico, and the
miners of these ores in Idaho, Monta-
ma, Colorado and other lead-producing
states. The smelling interest was re-
presented at the meeting by Senators
Thurston of Nebraska and Baker of
Kansas, and the mining interest by
Senators Carter of Montana and Shoup.
of Idaho.

Attacked by Drunken Soldiers.

Cheyenne, Wyo., June 16.-Cbarlie
Erswell, well-known Western Union
operator here, was attacked by party
of drunken soldiers from Fort Russell,
just as he was reaching his home in
a lonesome suburb of the city. Erswell
was knocked off his bicycle by the
soldiers, who started to beat him.. He
defended himself with his revolver
and shot one of the soldiers through
the body. He then reached his home,
which was attacked by the soldiers
with rocks. Every window in the
house was broken and the doors bat
tered in. Erswell shot second man
who was attempting to get into the
house. City policemen arrived on the
scene at this time, and the soldiers re-
treated, carrying both their wounded
comrades with them. Later they were
taken to the post hospital, where it
was found one was fatally wounded
and the other seriously. A patrol from
Fort Russell was sent out to bring all
soldiers from the town, in order to
prevent further trouble.

A RICH Strike.
Ore of Fabulous Value Discovered In Colo
RADIO.

RADIO.
Denver. June 16-A strike of fabu-
lous richness has been mede in the
ninth level of the Gregory Bobtail
mine at Central City. The real value
of the ore found cannot be learned, as
the operators of the mine refuse to di-
yulge it and have placed an armed
puard at the mine, but it is known
that the vein struck is two feet thick
and so full of wire gold as to run
many thousand dollars to the ton.
What makes the find more interesting
is the fact that the Gregory was the
first lode mine opened in Colorado and
has been worked constantly for the
past 3s years. 1t was the announce
ment of Gregory's find in the gulch
afterwards named for him that pro-
duced the rush to Colorado in 1859.
The latest strike in the Gregory is $50
feet below the surface and is said by
those who have seen specimens of the
ore to be the richest ever made in the
mine

pebs Wants Utah Land for His Colony.


Omaha, June 16-The officials of the
Union Pacific have received a commu-
nication from E. V. Debs relative to
his cooperative commonwealth plan
in Utah.
Debs desires large concessions of land
embracing many hundreds of acres.
The railroad company has plenty of
land in that country, yet the kind
Debs wants, suitable for an agricul-
tural community as well as CONNER
cial enterprises, is valuable and on the
market at good figures. The matter
of transportation for the members of
the Debs company will be arranged as
with other colonies desiring rates, but
with the land donation proposition it
is different. 1t has always been the
policy of the Union Pacific company
to donate lands for colony to a linn
tied extent, and to encourage imrnigra-
ton by such means along its line, but
the Debs scheme is much more eiat--
crate than the company has ever been
called upon to deal with before,
