WORSE THAN THE PEST.
Nearly 10 Per Cent. of Cuba's 4UO,UOO
PacificOs Died of Hunger.


New York, Nov. ia special to the
World from Havana says: 1t now APP
pears that nearly rs per cent. of the
100000 helpless women, children and
noncombatants in Cuba affected by
former Capt. Gen. Weyler's policy are
dead. Despite the orders issued by Gen.
Blanco to feed the starving, the daily
mortality of the remaining "reconcen-
trados" is frightful. The rabid Span
iards, who believe that only by eXter-
mination of the race can the Cuban war
be won, openly challenge the good faith
of Gen. Blanco's statements as to his
intention to feed and find work for
those whom Gen. Weyler has not killed.
More than half of the rural population
has disappeared, having been murdered
by Gen. Weyler and his supporters. AS
nearly as can be conservatively COM
puted from official figures, little more
than half are left alive and well of the
100000 vigorous peasant lads Spain sent
to Cuba. The figures are: Died in
hospitals, 80, 900; killed and died on the
field, $4,000; sent back to Spain as
"inutile," $4,000; now in hospitals. 49,
600; total, $1,000. The best informed
Cubans admit that disease and starva-
ton have reduced the rebel army of
able-bodied men from 100000 to 10000.
The real figure probably is nearer 3d.

LITIGATION ENDED.
| Settlement of the Wisner Estate in
| Hardin County Recalls History.

Settlement of the Wisner Estate in
Hardin County Recalls History.
The administrators of the George III.
Wisner estate have made their final re-
ports and been discharged by the
courts at Eldora. The settlement OF
this estate recalls this wealthy Wisner
family and the power their wealth eM
erted. In three short years, father
mother and son all passed away.
Lyman F. Wisner, the head of the family.
was one of the wealthiest men in central
and northern Iowa He amassed a fortune
Of about $1,5OO,O00 by coming to Hardin
county at an early date and by his shrewd,
economical and business-like ways. He
was the friend Of everybody, rich and poor
alike. He married Miss Julia Hatch, and
by their union they had one son, George.
Mr.. Wisner was president Of the Hardin
county bank, at Eldora, and of the First ma
tional bank, at Iowa Falls; owned the we'll
known "Sunnyside Farm" of some 1,5OO
acres at Iowa Falls and owned land in
nearly half the states Of the union.
While hunting near his farm near Iowa
Falls, by the accidental discharge or
shotgun, Mr.. Wisner was killed in August,
1889. Dying intestate, his widow inherited
her third of the estate, and the only son,
George, the remainder. Young Wisner was
married in the autumn of the year or his
fathers death to Miss Fannie Gilman, one
Of the society favorites Of Hardin county,
and daughter of Charles c. Gilman, ex-
president of the Iowa Central railroad. BY
careful management, assisted by j. ID. New
conner, financial secretary to his late
father, George II. Wisner added largely to
his portion of his fathers estate.
January II, 1898, young Wisner died very
suddenly from a complication of diseases.
lie died without leaving will, and the first
case that came up in the new temple OF
justice was a contest as to who should
administer the affairs of this large estate.
Mrs. Julia A. Wisner chose Mr.. j. d. New
conner, the friend and adviser Of her hus-
band and son. The widow, Mrs. Fannie
Wisner, assisted by her father, c. c. Gill
man, chose Mr.. ]. l.. Williams, prominent
banker, now dead, Of Marshalltown. After
long, bitter legal fight, Mr. Williams was
chosen
Soon after the death of George, and hav-
ing so much trouble and grievng so con-
tinually over the death of her only son, Mrs.
Julia A. Wisner died in April, 1893. The
bulk of her money went to her grand
children, son and daughter of George.
These children, Gilman and Lois, are now
aged about seven, and each inherited
one-third Of their fathers estate and large
amount from their grandmother. At the
time of reaching their majority the chill
dren will be millionaires.
The widow of G. II. Wisner has again
been married, to Mr.. Frank w. Crockett,
who was county clerk of Hardin county at
the time of the administrator contest. Mr..
Crockett has been appointed guardian of
one of the minor children. Mr.. James L.
Williams, who was administrator Of the
estate of George II. Wisner, was stricken
with apoplexy before the affairs of his ad-
ministratorship were settled

THE REFUSAL OF INDIA.
Cause of Failure Of International
Bimetallism.
4OmciaI Report of an Interesting Nm
ture Reaches Washington -
Position Taken by the
Indian Government.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE official re-
port of the correspondence in regard to
the bimetallic proposals of the United
States monetary commission to the gov
ernment of Great Britain together with
the report of the proceedings at the
conference of the British premier, the
secretary of state for India, the first
lord of the treasury and the chancel-
Tor of the exchequer with the French
ambassador and our commissioners, has
reached this country. The negotiations
fell through, notwithstanding the eX-
pressed willingness of the French gov
eminent to open its minis, owing to
the rejection of the British govern
ment of the proposition to again open
the Indian minis to the free coinage
of silver. None of the other PROPOSE
tons was replied to, because that one,
the most important concession re-
quested of Great Britain could not be
acceded to. The government of Great
Britain in making her answer deferred
to the wishes of the government of In
dia, to which the proposal was referred,
and the reply of the government of In
dia, therefore, is the most important
communication in the correspondence.
Why India Objected.
1t is a lengthy document in which the
advantages pro and con to India are
argued, and very strong case from
their standpoint is made out in favor of
the rejection of the proposal. The dis
furbance of values in India with the at
tendant paralysis of trade, at least tenn
porarily, the fall of silver prices in
India concurrently with the increase of
gold prices in Europe and America, ETC.,
are advanced, but the most potent rea-
son urged against the proposition is
that the burden of failure, if failure
should come from the experiment for
the establishment of bimetallism by
France and the United States, must in
evitably fall on India. Both the United
States and France, the reply argues,
with their supply Of gold could to a
greater or less extent protect them
selves if the experiment did not succeed.
In other words, the Indian government
as a preliminary proposition declared
that it could not risk the success of the
suggested measures. This definite and
absolute rejection of the proposal was
fully set forth in the cable reports of
the correspondence, but the document
contains reservation which would
seem to indicate that if the scope of the
proposed experiment were sufficiently
broadened India might be willing at
least to reconsider her refusal.

PERPETUAL MOTION,
A Jefferson Man Thinks He Has
Solved the Vcxed Question.


Albert S. Russell, of Jefferson, has in
vented a perpetual motion machine,
consisting of circuit of corks ascend
ing in water and descending in air. He
says:
"A rude dish was used for this purpose,
having thin tube soldered into the bottom
of said vessel through which the Chain" of
corks passed, for repeating the circuit
Though the model was cheap and rudely
constructed and the number of corks small,
1t was found that by the law of specific
gravity one cork ascending in water drew
up nearly 2la corks in the air. all of equal
size. Now, it is contended that materials
lighter than water (as corks) will cause
motion; this motion, too, facilitating the
movement of the circuit till perpetual mo-
ton is produced. The intervening flexible
pads (between the corks) keep the water
from escaping; the tin tube holding about
