Up at Waelder during the late

IIollifeld, who is operator or agent
there, had a bad spell of the dengue.
lie called in old Doc Hendricks,
who put on his specs, hemmed,
hawed and shook his head and pro-
nounced it malignant case of yell
low fever He then went home and
thought no more about it but on
the way home he stopped at the
drug store and told the druggist
about il. The next day Hollifeld
felt a little better and got out of bed
and went down to the drug store to
get some more medicine. The
druggist didn't see him until he
was nearly inside but when he did
he gave a howl of terror and made
frantic effort to shut the door in
his face, failing in this he made
wild break for the back of the store
scattering pills and bottles in all
directions and dove through the
window head first. Although every
effort was made to overtake him,
he disappeared in the brush like q
load shot out of a gun and at last
accounts had not been heard from.
There is good opening in Waelder
for druggist who isn't afraid of
the yellow fever"

KYLE HAS
A SENSATION.

A report yesterday from Kyle
says; "phe remains Of Charlie
Einderman, who SO niysteriously
disappeared from the ranch Of Mrs.
Eliza Gays, about ten miles from
here FIVE weeks ago, were discovered
today, after a thorough search OF
the Gay pasture by Sheriff W. T.,
,Iackman and Deputy James p.
Hall, aided in the search by some
Of the best citizens Of the northern
part Of Hays county.
They began early this morning
and after searching through the
pasture they found Linderman's
remains in what was supposed to
he brush heap, but on close ex-
animation they found some of
l.inderman's bones, part of his
seeth and a few pieces of hair sup
posed to have been knocked off he
fore the body was burned.
The Express correspondent learns
from Deputy j. P. Hall that Gay
had in his possession all Of Under
llnan's effects, including clothing.
watch, hat, shoes, etc. He also had
. bogus bill Of sale to nice bunch
ol cattle. Lnderman was a stock
man and possessed considerable
means that he intended to buy
cattle with and left here presumably
for that purpose and met his death.
The party that did the burning
used cord wood to accomplish his
purpose. Clip Gay is in Jail at
San Marcos, charged with the
crime. There was 5000 reward
offered for the finding of Under
niau dead or alive, which will come
fothis town and be paid to Deputy

The Squadron for Florida Bay.

The selection Of Florida Bay as the scene
of the winter of the North At
lantic squadron seems to be wise. These
waters lie at the southern end OF the penin-
sula, between the reefs and the mainland,
and in courtesy, doubtless, to Spain, as
well as with a view to dispel anxieties and
disarm criticisms, the orders to Admiral
SICARD direct him not to go beyond n line
running from Dry Tortugas to Key West.
Last winter the annual practice of the
squadron in the Gulf of Mexico was wholly
intermitted, out of consideration for Spain,
and, in fact, If memory serves us. there has
been no cruise OF the squadron as a whole
In Caribbean waters since Admiral MEADE
commanded 1t. His successor, Admiral
BUNcE, conducted his prolonged N use
full drills in Northern waters, and the exer-
cises of Admiral SICARD have thus far been
carried on not further south than the Caro-
Inns. Sui winter training is of value,
and the Gulf is the latitude for 1t.
A contemplated winter cruise of year be-
fore last was put of. we believe. because
the Venezuela dispute had not yet been
settled, and then SPANS troubles came to
the foreground. But some naval officers,
recognizing the value of winter drills,
believe that we have now shown suf-
fcient consideration in foregoing them,
and the present opportunity is favor
able for their resumption. The Madrid
Government seems just now better salts
fed with the good faith of our W than it
has sometimes been, while in the event Of
a sudde and great change in the Cuban
situation, arising either out of the events
of the war or the action of Congress, the
squadron would he in a commanding posi-
l Zion, only q few hours run from Havana.

An Obscure Point in Secretary Cages
Currency Scheme.

Secretary CAGES plan of currency reform,
presented by him in his report to Congress,
requires clearing up In one important
point. Among other amendments to the
National Bank act he recommends this.
"Fourth-Aftcr said banks have deposited such
bonds, groenbscks, Treasury notes. or silver certin.
catos to the umount Of 90 per cent. Of their capital
they shall be permitted to issue bank notes in ad.
dition to the 90 per cent. thus provided. 20 the orient

bus Issued against tho assets Of the bank"
This apparently restricts the issue Of
secured notes by each bank to 90 per cent.
of its capital, and that Of unsecured notes
to % per cent. of the so per cent. deposit,
or 12lo per cent. of its capital, making 621a
per cent. altogether. Yet, q little further
on, the Secretary says:
greater liberality of issue and less burdensome rates

Here, q volume Of circulation a~ggregatinp

fore, no restriction to 62l2 per cent. can be
contemplated. The contradiction may be

offers bring about this RESULT The frank
cynicism Of the Reichstag discussion the
other day makes It doubtful. Ono might
almost imagine the prevailing sentiment
in the debate to be that Of congratulation
on the opportunity which the murders had
given to Germany. The Government is
using 1t to Its full worth for getting grants
for naval increase. Minister Won BGLow
said that Germany was no longer satisfied
to see other powers divide the world among
them, while she c~ontented herself with n
place In heaven" In view Of Germany's
grabs in Africa and her formal division Of
the Pacific islands with England n few
years ago, the words of the Foreign Minis.
ter are fanciful, but at best they show the
current feeling and bode i'll for China.
The sending out Of reinforcements to
Kiao Chou Bay suggests a deliberate effort
to found q German colony in Asia. 1t is
said that the four companies Of marines
number over l 200 officers and men, and the
company Of naval artillery about 200, and
that they will bring the total at Kiao Chou
to over 1900, which is a larger force han
Germany has ever sent outside OF European
waters. The Emperor, too, has made a spe-
cial merit Of the fact that his "only
brother" is to go in command. and will
perhaps try to have the result shed glory
on his family.
Altogether. therefore, China's prospects
are not rosy. The late movement of the
Germans from the forts to tho town Of
Kiao Chou, which they entered, is signif.
can't, and tho killing of Germans in battle
would give the Kaiser all the chance he
desires for a long and perhaps permanent
occupation. AS the case stands, China has
now offered, If the dispatches are correct,
more than adequate indemnity for the late
crime. But her million nay not buy re.

P%ITTsBURG, Dec. 3.-Charles %Itetting, a COL
ored man. had a remarkable experience near
Grcensburg last night. lie was struck by two
trains In succession. and to tho hardness OF his
head and his luck is due tho fact that Retting
remained alive.
He was walking on tho Pennsylvania Rail-
road tracks. near Greensburg. when two freight
trains approached from opposite directions.
Retting decided to remain between the tracks,
surprising there would be enough room. AS tho
trni ns approached Retting began TO foel uneasy,
and attempted TO cross in front of tho cast-bound
train. The pilot OF the engine caught him on
the henG with such force that he was thrown in
the air directly in front of the west-b0undt train.
Before he had time to alight the other lOcomo-
tive struck him and threw him back twenty feet
In the air.
lie fell between tho two trains. and for tho
next second or two was bounced from ono train
to the other like an animated football. Tho
crews OF both trains witnessed the accident, and
as soon rs they could stop hurried back TO pick
up the pieces. To their surprise. however. they
found Retting between tho tracks endenvorinR
to SIT up. He was perfectly conscious. hut nat
urally somewhat bewildered. Examination
showed that his head and face were badly cut
and that his right nrm WAS broken. Outside OF
these injuries ho seemed none tho worse FOR his
rough handling, and the doctors ut the Green's
burg Hospital say he will recover.

single example will suffice to show that,
Mt present, we do not even pretend to be neu-
trail between Spain and Cuba, and that the
Cubans may suffer grievously from our
withholding neutral rights. Under our
neutrality act, II Is a misdemeanor to fit
ont or provide the means for a ves-
sel with the object Of cruising or
committing hostilities against any for
eien prince or State. The Cubans, there
fore. and their American friends, are de-
barred from fitting out vessels in American
ports to further the Cuban cause. As mat
ters now stand, however, and In the absence
of a recognition Of Cuban belligerency,
Spain has a perfect right to equip cruisers
in this country for use in Cuban waters
epainst her revolted colonists. OF this
ptate of things she took advantage in the
last Cuban revolution, by fitting out here
some thirty gunboats. Could there be a
clearer demonstration Of the fact that there
can be no such thing as neutrality between
q parent State and insurrectionists, until
the belligerency Of the latter has been rec
ognized7
