HIS FORTIETH DAY
Gardner Still Fasting and Does Not Know
When He VIII Quit

Last evening Robert Gardner, the
young faster at present domiciled in the
Hotel Vogel, completed the fortieth day
of his abstinence. He has not yet re-
ceived the command from ON high, which
shall release him from his self-imposed
task, and cannot tell how much longer
it will continue. His physical condition
is much the same, but he grows gradual
ly weaker day by day.
He still maintains dogged silence as
to his motives or antecedents, and is
averse to being questioned on the SUBJ
ject. Those about the hotel are positive
that he has not partaken of mouthful
of food for weeks, and are watching
him closely to see how the strange affair
will end .l49aiQ H ~ ~ HG

AN INsURGENT VICTORY

ClNClNNAIl, FeD. 10-Ihe CONNER
cial Tribune's special from Havana says:
A detachment from Gen. Lacrete's army
now operating in this province had a
pitched battle with band of guerrillas
under Major Slasco, and portion of the
Havana volunteers under Sanchez. The
insurgents attacked a block house three
miles west Of this city, not knowing that
large Spanish force was near by. They
had partially captured the fort when
Spanish reinforcements came up. The
Cubans were caught between two col
unlns and for several hours the fight
was waged fast and furious. Finding
that they could not make progress
against such numbers, the Spaniards
outnumbering them two to one, the Gu
bans, by skillful feint, drew off part
of the volunteer corps and then made
furious and unexpected onslaught on
the other, compelling them to retreat
and Offering a passage way for the in
surgents. Through this they passed with
a loss of some 100. The Spanish lost over
double that number. Notwithstanding
their defeat the insurgents managed to
so dismantle the fort that it had to be
destroyed to prevent it falling into the
insurgents hands, and the large sup
ply of ammunition was destroyed.
A pay train on the railroad near Can
delaria, Pinar del Rio, was wrecked by
the Cubans on Friday and over $500, 900
in silver secured. They killed the
guards and captured four Spanish guer-
rillas belonging to San Martins band
The latter were instantly put to the ma
chete by the infuriated Cubans, as they
attribute most of the cruel murders in
that section to this band.

THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.
1t Is Conceded to lie y Revival Of thu
Ancient Plague.

hncient fihSue.
The plague which has been raging
for six months past at Bombay, ard TO
some extent at other places in India, is
conceded to be the true plague In
its general character il is identical with
1.-THE black DEATH" which in the four
tcenth century destroyed, it is said
100000 lives in London. the lives Of
seyen-eighths of the population OF Eng
land and some 2j,0U0,0oo persons, or
one-fourth of the population of Europe
But sanitary science is supposed to have
mitigatcd its rirulence or lessened lis
opportunities. In Bombay, with 75O-
900 inhabitants. the mortality is kept
down to about coo per week. Calcutta,
with 100000 Inhabitants. owing 10 Ell
ficient sanitation is substantially free
from the plague.
At the first outbreak in the past year
nearly every case was fatal. Up to the
third week of November 100 persons
had been attacked, and of these 81
died. Its victims are almost uniform
ly very poor and lifted natives. The
English seldom or never take the dis
ease. The steps taken TO purify the
cities Of India, in order to protect them,
consist chiefly in cleansing them by a
liberal use of water. AS in fighting
the famine, So in fighting the plague.
the Hindoos are indebted to the arts
and sciences of Europe. But for the
foreign government, with its railroads
and advanced ideas, the mortality OF
India would during the present allie
ton of famine and plague be increased
doubtless by many millions.
The plague is glandular fever, at

1t seems to be unknown whether it is
due to n microbe or to unsanitary con-
ditions. 1t ravagcd Hong Kong few
years ago, destroying many thousands

Euphrates valley, just as cholera has

London suffered from it in 1865 and
again in 1720. During the present CEN
fury Asia has been the chief scene OF
its activity. In 1880 at Bagdad, the
death rate from il was 1000 a day, and
on April 81 of that year as many as 3d.
000 dead bodies were counted there. Ii

Those very eloquent figures which
show that, while the Wilson act has
yielded in round numbers only $780,
100000 of revenue in the 30 months of
its operation. the Mckinley law fur
nished $3.50 ZOO. 900 in the same length
OF time. The Wilson law created a
deficit Of SI27. 100000 and its prcdeces-
sor provided surplus of So, 200, 900 in
an equal period. A fair measure of the
relative capabilities Of the two parties
in the business Of practical legislation
is here revealed. Nobody doubts that
the bill which the republicans will pass
in the extra session will meet all the
governments needs in the way of in
come and provide small surplus for
emergencies. II will olso give adequate
protection to all industries needing any.
Considerable skill is demanded to meet
the two sorts of requirements. but the
republicans have displayed il on several
occasions. and undoubtedly will do it
