DEATH RATE APPALLING.
Disease More Fatal than Bullets on
the Island of Cuba.

NEW YORK, June pa dispatch to the
World from Havana says: DETERMINATION
on the island is an appalling, actual fact.
The death rate is actually increasing. A
prominent Spanish medical officer, who has
full knowledge of the interior, says
that should the war be prolonged
fifteen months the western half of the
island will be entirely depopulated The
death rate is likely to double next month.
Contagion will then NOW the people
down rapidly. The rains have turned
the interior into quagmires in
many places. The trocha is a pestilential
ditch. The soldiers are suffering terribly
from fever and dystentery. Little of the
smallpox vaccination is effective. With
foresight thousands of paciticos might cas-
lily have been saved by vaccination.
A sanguinary engagement occurred
Wednesday at Managua, fiftee nmiles from
Havana. The insurgents attacked a COZ
umn of Spanish and the latter lost heavily.
The details were suppressed here. Many
ambulances with wounded have arrived
here.
The rebels are certainly concentrated
around Havana Trains have been fired
into repeatedly. A Spanish force while re-
connoitering was ambushed near San
Miguel They fought bravely, but were
compelled to retire.
General Rivera is sick and appears in
different as to his fate. He will assuredly
be shot unless strong action is taken by
the United States.

HAD THE MONEY-MAKING ART.
Death of 81 Wealthy Woman Who Be.
gan Business i'm This City.
Kansas City Journal

Kansas City Journal.
Mrs. Sarah j. Slack a most remarkably
successful business woman, died yesterday
afternoon at o'clock at her home 1928
TrooSt avenue, after a long illness, from a
complication of diseases. The immediate
cause of her death was heart disease, from
which she had been suffering for the past
three months She was sixty-three years
old.
Mrs Slack came TO Kansas City eighteen
years ago. Her wealth is estimated at be-
tween 100000 and a quarter of a million
dollars, the greater part of which is rep
resented by real estate in this city.
Mrs. Slack was born in Pittsburg, Pa.
Her maiden name was Tole. Her father
was a laborer on a steamboat line and
had little means and a large family to sup
port. Beyond a few years in the ward
schools the children received no education
and at an early age the older children
Sarah was the oldest daughter. AS soon as
old enough she assisted her mother in
dressmaking. When she was twenty years
old she secured a position as an assistant in
a millinery store AS soon as she had
learned the trade she secured the loan of
enough money to open a humble millinery
store in indianapolis, Ind. There she built
up a good business. AS fast as she accu-
muated any money she invested it in real
estate and from her first investment al
ways made money.
After her marriage to J. B. Slack, she
removed to Fort Scott, Kan, where she
started another millinery store. She in
vested her money in real estate during the
first boom in Fort Scott and sold out while
prices were at their best She came to
kansas City when the big boom of the
7Os had just started, and invested all her
fortune, then about $4,000 in real estate in
the center of the city. With her usual re-
markable foresight or luck she sold all
her property when values were most in
f1ated When the boom collapsed and real
estate went down to rock bottom" she
again invested literally.
During the last few years she had again
invested a considerable portion of her
money in Kansas City real estate and con-
fidently expected a big return on her in
VeStments.
J. b. Slack, her husband. and Mrs. Mary
Brannock, of Philadelphia, Pa, are the
only relatives that survive her. Mrs.
Stacks ambition was to become one of the
wealthiest self-made women in the West,
and to this end she devoted her entire en-
ergies. Several years ago she brought suit
for divorce against her husband, but the
proceedings have been dragged along in the
courts without her getting a decision. Two
years ago she went to Chicago for a sur
gical operation, and since that time had
been a confirmed invalid. She had lived
alone, with the exception of a servant, for
several years.
A telegram was sent to Mrs. Brannock
Yesterday announcing her sisters death.
No arrangements Will be MADE Tor the 1u-
neral until her arrival.

CIVIC COURAGE.
The Kind of VaIOr Which Saves Ma
ton Day by Day.
From Address by Professor William Jane:

From Address by Professor William James
at the Unwilling of Shaw Monument In
Boston.
War has been much praised and celebrat-
ed among us of late as a school of manly
virtue: but it is easy to exaggerate upon
this point. Ages ago war was the CORY
cradle of mankind, the grim-featured nurse
that alone could train our savage progem-
tors into some semblance of social virtue,
teach them to be faithful one 10 another,
and force them to sink their selhshness In
wider tribal ends War still excelS in this
prerogative: and whether it be paid in years
of service, in treasure, or in hte-plood' the
war tax is still the only tax that men un-
grudgingly will pay. How could 1t be other
wise when the survivors of one success1ul
massacre after another are the DelnsS from
whose loins we and all our contemporary
races spring? Man is once Tor all a nShtlng
animal; centuries of peaceful history could
not breed the battle instinct out of us; and
military virtue is the kind of virtue least
i'm need of reinforcement by reflection, least
in need of orators or poets help.
What we really need the poet ana ora
tors help to keep alive in us is not then,
the common and gregariouS courage WIlch
Shaw showed when he marched with you,
men of the Seventh Regiment; II Is that
more lonely courage which he showed when
he dropped his warm commission in the
glorious Second to head your DUBIOUS Tor
fumes negroes of the Fifty-fourth. mat
lonely kind of valor-civic courage as we
call it in peace times-is the KIND OF Valor
to which the monuments or nations snouIu
most of all be reared, for the surVlVal OF the
fttest has not bred it into the bone or
human beings as it has bred military valor;
and of five hundred of US who could storm
n battery side by side with others, perhaps
not one would be found ready all alone to
risk his worldly fortunes in resisting an
enthroned abuse. fThe deadliest enemies OF
nations are not their foreign foes; they al
ways dwell within their borders And from
these internal enemies civilization is al
ways in need of being saved. Inc nation
hleSt above all nations is she in whom the
civic genius of the people does the saving
day by day, by acts without external pic
tTresoueness; by speaking, writing voting
reasonably; by shifting corruption swiftly
bv good temper between parties by the
people knowing true men when they see
them. and preferring them as leaders to
rabid partisans or empty quacks. Such ma
tions have no need of wars to save them.
Their accounts with righteousness are al
WAYS even; and Gods judgments do not
have to oVertake them titfully in bloody
spasms and commissions of the race

IN CONGRESS THIS WEEK
1t VIII BE Determined when the Tar
ifF Bill VIII BE Passed.

WASHINGTON June 20.-The Republican
senator's in charge of the tariff bill begin
TO feel that the end almost is in sight. They
do not hope to conclude the consideration
of the bill by the close of the present week
but they expect by that time to be able
to say when they can complete the work AS
a matter of fact the difficulty of ADJUST
ing differences in their own party Is caus-
ing the managers more perplexity at pres
ent than is the open opposition to the Dill
in the Senate. 1t has been found almost
impossible to harmonic the contend1ng
forces among Republicans on the TOBACCO
and wool schedules The differences on TO-
bacco have been compromised, though not
to the satisfaction of all concerned, ana II
there should be another caucus before the
tobacco schedule is taken up in the SEN
ate the question is liable TO be reopened
there.
The wool schedule will confront the Sen
ate at the opening of the session Monday
and it is Senator Allisen's purpose to press
the schedule forward to close. Hence II
will be impossible to postpone Tor very
much longer time the settlement OF the dl1-
ferences on this question. 1t Is eApectGu
that if the committee should not DC aplc
10 announce a determination by some time
Monday the matter will be referred 70 an
early caucus or caucus may De calIeu a.
the committee fixes a rate that Is not sat
isfactory to the wool men. There Is 1ttie
doubt that an advance will be conceded py
the committee but the question or interest,"
is whether the increase Will be all that tn9
wool men demand. The wool schedule Will
of course give rise to an animated DEBATE
but the Democratic senator's say there Is
no disposition on their part to neednessly
prolong it, There are also numerous ar,
ticleS on the free list and in the suhdTy
schedule which will arouse differences OF
opinion, and if the Republicans do not
withdraw the internal revenue features Oh
the bill there will be a sharp CLASH over
this They are practically decided however,
TO retreat from these provisions: IL Is also
practically determined that the House pro
Vision in regard to Hawaiian sugar Will be
continued pending the disposition or the
Hawaiian annexation treaty
For the rest, the question OF reciprocity
and the problem presented by the trusts III
connection with the tariff are still unde-
termined by the Republicans themselves,
hut there is no doubt that there Will pc
more or less general debate on any PROPOSE
tons agreed to when presented IN the
Senate.
The programme in the House Will be the
same as during the past weeks. Ihere VIII
be two sessions. one on Monday ana an
other on Thursday. 1t Is probable that the
committee on rules will bring In special
order on Monday for the consideration or
the bill appropriating money to repair the
dry dock at the brooklyn navy yard anu the
bin will no doubt be passed.
