DEATH RAvA0Es CUBA.
Mortality In the Island Is Now More
than 1000 Daily.


than 1000 Daily.
A New York Herald correspondent
writes from Havana: more than thou
sand persons die every day in Cuba as
result of the famine and disease, due to
Gen. WeyIer's enforced recommendation
of pa..ificos. Gen. Wey1er is reaping his
crop and the result will horrify the world.
This fertile land is weary beyond measure
of Weyler and war. Next month there
cannot but be another jump in the death
rate. In May it was more than twice as
great as it was in March. Now come the
rains, and with them an increase in vel
low fever, typhms, which is already in the
field, and the enteric disorders to which
concentrates are particularly liable. 1t
was said weeks ago that the logical end
of Gen. Weyier's policy was extermina
ton, and now send proof that it is true.
Even were war stopped now there would
be $4,000 or $4,000 deaths before bet
tered condition of the stricken popula-
ton could check the march of the de-
stroyer say this without regard to
Spanish or rebel. The proof that it 10
true is here"

Bones of Francis Sch1atter Found in

A week ago last Friday two American
prospectors found in the foothills of the
Sierre Madre, on the Puetas Verdas riv

Grande, in the State of Chihuahua, all

a year ago, was the subject of much Won
derment throughout the Western States,
principally in the southwest.
The prospectors' attention was attract
ed to his camp by their espyins saddle
astride a limb in a dead tree high up in
gorge, through which the river runs. His
skeleton was found lying stretched out on
a blanket close up to the tree. The bones
were bleached white, and alongside lay
the copper rod, miniature baseball bat,
weighing about forty pounds. Piled UP
alongside the trunk of the tree were sad
die bags, a large memorandum book,
package of letters bound by a rotten rub
Der band, some blankets and six suits of
underwear A Bible and canteen of wat.

WAR MAY YET BE RESUMED.
Peace Negotiations Between Turxcy

Peace Negotiations Between Tur;scy
and Greece Languish.
A dispatch from Constantinople says
that the powers, to whom Greece has in,
trusted her interests, show no signs Of
yielding any of the three points in the
Turkish demand, the annexation of 1'hes-
sally, the abolition of the capitulations in
the case of Greek subjects in the Ottoman
empire or an exorbitant indemnify The
peace negotiations don't seem to make
much progress and there was considerable
disquietude in Athens caused by the aF
parently reliable statement that the nego'
tiations We're in danger Of coliapsing a.
together The ministers who were ques
toned on the subject, however, had 10
definite news OF an official character ara
expressed the opinion that the news was
without foundation. 1t is said on good
authority that the powers are now trying
to induce Turkey to sign general peace
conditions defining broad limits within
which Turkey and Greece should after
ward settle details by direct negotiat ton,
This newssis regarded at Athens with
dismay as breach of faith ON the par y
of the powers and as@leaving Greece 70
the tender mercies of the Sultan. 1t III
believed by many good judges at Athen%
that Greece may yet have to fight for be-
very existence. Already there are report
that the Turks have advanced in thM
Agrapha district, occupied several viIlases
and are still advancing toward the tow
of Agapha. Greece has protested to iat
powers against this violation of the arms
tice.
Advices from Constantinople are equs
~ pessimistic. 1t is alleged that IeWs
Pasha, at Saturdays meeting of u
council of ministers, announced that
Sheik-ul Islam had issued fetva dec.
ing that territory once acquired by
sacrifice of Ottoman blood cannot, unuI
the Ottoman law, be surrendered.

that Bulgaria has made an informal

CRASH OF FIREWORKS.
Scores of Persons Are Hurt by Tree
mendous Explosion in Chicago.

Scores of Persons Are Hurt by Tree
mendous Explosion in Chicago.
Somebody stepped on percussion cap
in Nathan Shure's fireworks factory, 21O
South Halsted street, Chicago, Tuesday
afternoon. There was flash, a tiny nest
of sparks in a mass of sawdust and shaw
ings and then terror. A small explosion
was followed a second later by detona-
ton that was tremendous in its force and
effect The building was rent asunder.
Skyrockets were set off in every direction
and whirled and missed all through the
structure and out wrecked doors and Win
dows. The boom Of giant crackers and
the sharp crash of smaller bombs pune
tured the hiss of the darling rockets Then
the whole place was ablaze. Across the
street a fiat building filed with terror
stricken families had been ignited by
rocket.
Flying beams, bricks and stones struck
men, women and children who were in the
streets. Horses ran away and trampled
people to the pavements. Cries of terror
and pain from injured and frightened men
and women were answered by the gongs
of fire engines and ambulances, and the
wonder of it all is that d sudden and awful
death harvest was not reaped. AS it ap-
peared the following morning, only one
person was fatally hurt. Scores were in
jured. Nobody knows how many. Men
were cut and bruised, but were able to go
home Others were attended to in stores
and offices. Those who needed doctors
were carried to the county hospital, and
in some cases to their homes.
The one victim who died is woman
who was struck by runaway horse. ALI
this terror started about 6 O'Clock. One
of the two employees who CHANGED to be in
the establishment mad ignited the percus-
sion cap. Shavings, paper, sawdust and
gunpowder did the rest The sidewalks
were crowded when the panic came. ieo-
pie were hurrying home on foot and in
street cars. Many of these are in the hist
of injured, and another and more grew
some list would have been added if the
employees of the factory had been at work.
The finaEc:al loss was considerable. Build
ings and stores in the neighborhood were
damaged at least $4,000.

FATAL END OF A FEUD.
Mayor Richards Of Bunker Hill Shot
by Editor Hedley Of the Gazette.


Bunker Hill, H., is in mourning for
Mayor John r. Richards, and Capt. Fen
wick Y. Hedley, editor of the Bunker Hill
Gazette, is accused of the murder.
A feud of many years duration ended
Saturday noon, when the two men met in
the street. After few angry words had
been passed Hedaey shot richards One
bullet wounded his arm. The other pass
ed through his liver and lodged in the
spine. His wound caused his death six
hours later.
Hedleys friends and witnesses of the
shooting assert that it was done in self
defense. In extenua tion of the act it Is
said, also, that several times in the past
Richards had insu,ted the editor and twice
knocked him down Hedley had not re-
taliated.
Saturday the men met. Richards open
ed the conversa ton with these words:
"Heley, why don't y>u speak to me-,
according to our agreement?'
''I'll speak to you when you speak to
me FIRST" was the reply.
An Assault Alleged.
Mayor Richards, it is said, then assault
ed Hedncy, knocking him down. AS he
rose, it is further asserted, Richards pick
ed up rake, when the editor drew re-
volver.
''Shoot, you coward: I dare you to
shoot" it is said was tauntingly remark
ed by Mayor Richards, as he moved for
ward, when Hedley shot twice in success
sion.
Hedley at once delivered himself to the
authorities and was taken to CariinviMe
and paced under bond of s., 1000.
Causes of the Enmity.
The trouble between the men started
with politics. Their differences during
the last campaign were partly patched up
through the Intervention of friends, who
induced them to sign an agreement CON
tanning certain stipulations, one of which
was that they should speak to each other
in pubic.
Behind all this there is woman. Miss
Ella Brown was Richards stenograpller.
Richards wished to marry her. Hedley
was organist of the church choir in which
Miss Brown was the soprano, ard thus
they We're thrown much together. Rich
ards forbade Hedley to have anything to
do with the young woman. as he was a
distant relative and aided in the financial
support of the Brown family
Miss Brown was one of the witnesses
of the shooting and is prostrated.

A Royal Road to Camping Out.

Some unique. and moderate-cast sum-
mer outings are instructively described
in the Ladies' Home Journal by Dan
lei G. Beard, who shows a royal road
to camp life and the joys of house
boat parties, the approximate cost, etc.
In selecting a camping place Mr.. Beard
colrnsels the selection OF a spot which
"gives the finest possible view Of noun
tains, Lakes CT rivers, even if some
inconvenience must be suffered in the
selection. The camp must be dry and
we'll drained, so that in case Of sud
den sltcnms there will be no danger
Of the water flooding the tents, wet
ting the bedding or spelling the food.
A gentle slop:ng ground is best. Avoid
locating in the track or below the
mouths OF ent-lcoking gullies or
ravines, that may, in case Of rain, be
developed into torrents of muddy wa
ter, and sweep the camp like a cloud
burst. A supply Of pure water contrib
utes as much to the enjoyment OF the
campers as to the preservation OF
health Common sense will direct that
the camp be selected within easy reach
of some bubbling spring or fresh, I'M
contaminated brook Of running water,
but there is another thing of para
mount Importance, and that is handy

the brush covered lean-to, etc, but con
siders canvas tents the best shelter for
campers. They are transported with
much greater ease than the most sim
ply constructed portable house. A tent
may be erected with the expenditure
of less labor than any ether kind OF
camp, and furnishes a comfortable
shelter all the year round. A good wall
tent, with n fly and wooden floor, is
protection enough for even the most
delicate OF persons.
When you start fer camp leave ar

Feud Ends in Death.
Meant to Kill Faure.

An attempt was made Sunday to as
sassinate Felix Faure, president OF the
French republic, while he was EN- route to
Long Champs to witness the Grand Prix.
While NJ Faures carriage was passing
thicket near La Cascade restaurant, In
Paris, bomb exploded. 1t was piece
of tubing six inches long and two inches
in diameter, charged with powder and
swan shot.
No one was injured by the explosion. A
man in the crowd, suspected as the PRIME
mover, was arrested. he gave his name

as Gallet and made only the briefest re-
plies to questions put to him by the po-
lice.
Gallet is believed to be insane, for he
shouted as the carriage passed along SO
loudly as to attract general attention in
the crowd. The police also arrested a
youth, but it is thought probable that
the actual culprit escaped.
Cheers for the President.
The news spread like wildfre through
the city, and when NJ. Faure returned to
the Elysee the streets along the route
where it was known he would drive were
crowded with people, who cheered him
vociferously.
The bomb was a clumsily made affair,
to which a piece of fuse was attached,
and the fuse was probably lighted by a
paper fixed in the end of a stick. The
presumption is that at the moment the
fuse vas lighted the culprit fled, and in
any case the bomb could not have done
much harm.
Scene of Previous Attempts.
This attempt on the life of NJ. Faure
was made on the very spot where Bere-
zowsky tried to shoot the Car while
driving to the military review at Long
Champs in 1867, and where F'rdncois, a
lunatic, fired his revolver at NJ. Faure
July IA last.
1t is rumored that the project of police
has information connecting the Paris an
archists with the outrage, but 1T is gen
orally believed that the act was the act
of madman rather than a conspirator.
