DEATH RATE is HIGH.
500 Victims of Epidemic Diseases
Last Month in One Cuban Town.

OOO t1ctInS Oh EDtUenlC
Last Month in One Cuban Town.
HAVANA, Sept. 5-During the month of
August five hundred persons died in Guines
from epidemic diseases. All of the victims,
with one exception, were Cubans. The rate
Of mortality among the refugees is very
great and the same is true regarding the
troops The mortality due to yellow fever,
malaria and dysentery is excessive 1t is
estimated that thirty-seven out of every
one thousand sick soldiers in the hospitals
throughout the island die. 1t is stated that
from twenty to twenty-six deaths occur
on each trip of the steamers which carry
sick and disabled troops from Cuba to
Spain The bodies of those who die en-
route are thoWn overheard. Three deaths
occurred on one of these steamers recently
before she left port.
Captain General Weyler returned to Ha-
vana greatly disguised because of the err
roneous Interpretation of his edict referring
to the gathering of cattle, large numbers
of oxen and COWS having been slaughtered
in consequence of the misunderstanding of
his orders. During his recent tour General
Weyler deposed the mayors OF several
towns and sent various military command
ers to Cabanas Castle. AT Guines and
other towns he caused the release from GUS
tOdy of a number of merchants and recon-
centradoS who had been falsely accused.
Captain General Weyler has issued an or
der prohibiting the planting Of tobacco
within the boundaries of the military Gull
tivated zone. He declares that if the recon-
centrados die from hunger the mayors of
the towns will be to blame for their deaths
because of their negligence in carrying out
his instructions.

strictly to business. Speaking of her en-
terprise, Miss Hall said: After / thought
out the plan l took $40 out of what l had
saved from my newspaper work and
bought all the equipments for my stand.
When all this was done l asked the salu-
tatorian of our class if she would help me-
She consented at once and now she is

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The discussion relating to Colonel L.
n1anouski and his supposed Life of Ma
poleon' has awakened recollections of the
colonel in my early youth 1t is hard to
remember dates. but it was, perhaps, fifty
or more years ago that the colonel was
frequent visitor at New Albany, if not an
actual resident of Floyd county. and l dis
tinctly remember his tall, commanding
form and broken speech He was often in
the law office of my uncle James Collins
who became warmly attached to him and
they would converse by the hour on Ma
pofeon and his wars. the colonel relating
his personal experiences. If anything was
said of the Life of Napeoen" written by
the colonel. or supposed to be. it has left
only ghost of an impression, though / am
strongly impressed that the colonel at diff
ferent times produced and read from both
books and manuscript / think he was a
persistent writer. There are vet old citi-
Zens of New Albany who should remember
the colonel. and l would refer the matter
to General Packard and his New Albany
Tribune for investigation. Mr. Collins and
the immediate members Of his family are
dead but there may be other old citizens
who had some knowledge of the facts /
have related. II. MCLUNG.

Lee VIII Return to Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5-Assistant Sec
rotary Day, of the State Department, who
returned to Washington to-day, was asked
whether or not it was true, as reported,
that Consul General Lee, now on his way
to the United States, would not return to
Havana when his vacation is over Judge
Day replied that the regular thirty days
annual leave had been granted to Consul
General Lee, and that so far as he was
the consul general would not return to Ha-
vana when the thirty days had expired.
The understanding here is that Consul Gen
eral Lees visit to the United States at this
time is purely on personal business, al
though it is probable his presence here Will
be taken advantage of by the officials for
consultation with him regarding affairs in
Cuba He is expected to return to Havana
about the LIST of October.

A wonderful ball player is Pete" Gar
vey He is playing with the Sullivan Qnd)
club, but ought to be holding down first
base for one of the big league teams. No
"phenom pitcher was ever known to fool
Pete" and no wildly thrown ball from an
excited shotstop ever went by him into
the bleachers. Pete" is a modern Hercules.
Besides being very tall, he is so strong
that when he hits the ball it goes out of
sight 1t is not at the bat, however, that
Pete" performs his greatest wonders.
When ball, either thrown or hit, comes
within twelve feet of first base, Pete" sim
ply digs his big toe into the bag, stretches
himself double his length, pulls in the ball
and the runner is out. How the feat is
performed is not known, but it is taken
Der neck but also rubber body. Seriously
speaking. Garvey is a great player and

van, in writing to the Journal, says
lone of the most remarkable characters
that played baseball this season was Pete
Carney the famous first baseman of the
Sullivan Baseball Club. Garvey was once
a leader in the National League. He was
known as King Garvey, champion of first
baSemen. At the bat he was d picture.
Tall, well-built and strong as lion, he
would stand motionlesS, holding the bat in
an almost horizontal position near and in
front of his right shoulder, awaiting the
delivery of the ball. And wait he would,
for no angles or curves could fool Pete. He
was always able to tell when the ball left
the pitchers hand whether it going
over the plate and nothing could induce
him to strike unless the ball was right
But when he did haste the pig-skin how
it travelled Everybody in the outfield
would scramble for it and no one seemed
TO know when or where it would stop. His
great work. however was at first base. No
balls ever passed him. No difference how
high nor how low they were Pete always
got them. Sometimes he seemed to stretch
himself almost double his length to get
ball that was thrown short, but the big
toe of his right foot never left the base
If baseball cemeteries were kept by clubs
that went against the Sullivan team in the
season of 1897 they would all be filled with
victims who died at first base by the hand
OF King Garvey.'

been familiar to me from my earliest child

across the street from my parents in Gin

two earlier and they were well acquainted
with her. Her father occasionally visited
her there and both my father and mother
saw him, though they do not remember
having had any conversation with him. NV
father says Colonel Lemanouski was a
preacher and lived he thinks in Clark
county, Indiana. My mother disliked him
because she imagined he had not been good
