MATTERS IN BRIEF.
Serious Condition OF Affairs Through
out Cuba-Gen. weyIer's Claim That
the War Is Over Denied.
Matters In Cuba.

While the resolution TO recognize
the Cuban insurgents as belligerents
is being held up by the national house
of representatives after being passed
by the senate matters are coming TO
the surface at various points which are
sure to bring crisis very soon. Mr..
Calhoun, the special commissioner sent
to Cuba by President Mckinley, has
been looking about during the delays
in the Ruiz case and is gaining a gen
eral insight into the condition of affairs
on the island He already has discov-
cred that Gen. Weyler's talk of Cuba
being pacified is not based ON fact.
There is not a province in Cuba that
is in a peaceful condition, and the
Spanish picl1ets have warned Calhoun,
who, in company with Consul General
Lee, took ride out of Havana, that it
was not safe to venture away from the
city more than IL miles.
Consul-General Lees report that the
war is no nearer an end than two
years ago, and that there is no pros
pect of either side triumphing so long
as one can dig sustenance from the
ground and the other borrow money,
is fully proved to Mr.. Calhoun's salts
faction. The poor people who have
been driven from the country by Gen.
Weyler's orders have been seen by
Commissioner Calhoun and their ter
rible miseries he will relate to the
President upon his return. At Matan-
zas alone he saw 1000 starving recon
centradoes, and was told that 5000
more had just been driven into the
overcrowded small towns of the dis
trict, where their plight was hopeless
Gen. Lee and Mr. Calhoun, with their
interpreter, went from hut to hut
questioning women and children whose
feet and ankles were SO swollen and
discolored as to present shocking APP
pcarauce, due to a dropsical affection
caused by thin blood aud lack of nour-
ishmcnt. All said that they had been
without food for periods varying
from IL to - hours, and their
appearance showed that they told the
truth.

Farmer Murdered by His Daughter.
Frederick Heidi a wcll-to-do German
farmer living in Warren township,
Macomb county, after spending the
day in drinking at saloon two miles
from his place started for home; his
horse ran away and he was thrown into
the ditch, where he was found by
his wife and son-in-law. Rudolph Wir-
gan. When they attempted TO assist
him he made an assault on his wife
with the butt of whip stock. Upon
reaching home Heidi began to abuse
his daughter Minnie, aged 80. The
girl says that he drew Il razor on her
and threatened to kill her as he had
done many times before. She secured
the weapon, but he became so violent
that she was afraid he would do her
harm. She went to the woodshed,
procured a gun and returning TO the
kitchen took deliberate aim at her
father, who was sitting in chair at
the time, and fired, the charge strik-
ing him in the head and killing him
instantly. Heidi was 81 years of age
and his wife is 50.
The coroner's jury in the inquest
returned a verdict of justifable homi-
eide, finding that his daughter Minnie
shot Heidi in self defense. Minnie is a
bright and remarkably good-looliing
girl. In the ncighborhood she is a
great favoritc and all synpathizc

state Taxes for 1918.

The house committee on ways and
means and the senate finance commit
tee having completed their work of
making up the budget for the state
for 1878, determined that the
taxes to be raised for that period will
be S4,S77, S0s, providing the governor
signs all the appropriation bills. This
is saving of sos, $50 over the taxes
imposed on the state by the preceding
legislature for the two years 1895 and
1896. To this saving may be added
the estimated increase in returns from
the railroads under the Merriam bill.
s2O5, 900; to this may also be added
S3S.43 Increase in taxes from the
Michigan Central railroad, and it gives
a grand total of saving in taxes to the
people of S04S, 400 over 1856. The tax
rate for the two years 1896 was 4 4
mills ON the dollar. The approximate
tax rate for the two years 1s97-S will
be 80 mills on the dollar, or
an average of less than . mills
on the dollar for each year.
So far as the expenses of state depart
ments are concerned, not much has
really been saved. There has been an
apparent cut of about $4,000 but
this is more than covered by the fact
that two years ago 5000, 900 was APP
propriated to make up deficiency in
the state treasury due to unpaid taxes.
Some saving has been made in special
appropriations, however.
