THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The Cubans are Entitled to What Comfort
They Can Get Out of It.

Washington, May I7.-The president
today transmitted the following message
to congress in regards to Cuba:
To the Senate and House of Represent
atives of the United States:
Official information from our consuls
in Cuba establishes the fact that large
number of American citizens on the
island are in state of destitution and
are suffering from want of food and
medicine. This applies particularly to
the rural districts of the central and
eastern parts. The agricultural classes
have been forced from their farms into
the nearest towns where they are with
out work or provisions. The local auth
critics of the several towns, however
kindly disposed. are unable to relieve
the wants of the people. The late re-
ports of Consul General Lee estimates
that 500 Americans are without means of
support and have assured him that pro-
visions should be made at once to relieve
them.
To that end | recommend that con-
gress make an appropriation of not less
than $4,000 to be Immediately available
for use under the direction of the secre-
tary of state. 1t is desirable that part
the sum which may be appropriated by
congress, should at the direction of the
secretary of state be used in the trans
portatlon of any citizens who desire to
return to the United States, and are
without the means to do so.

Afternoon.
This afternoon at o'clock occurred
the funeral of Mrs. D. L. Wise from the
Wise residence on Walnut street.
The residence of the deceased was
thronged with the friends who had known
her in lite, and who sorrowfully viewed
the mortal remains of one whom to know
was to esteem and love. Numberless
beautiful floral offerings were sent as
tokens of remembrance and respect.
The Rev. w. R. hoffman conducted
the impressive services consecrating the
remains TO their hnal resting place. His
last touching tributeto the departed was,
tha, though ever mindful of the life to
come, her presence on this earth was so
conducted that her duty was well done;
her place impossible to fill.
Music was furnished by quartette
composed of Misses Elder and Reed,
and Messrs, Earl and Sherman.
A large number of carriages and hacks
containing relatives, the Ladies Fort
nightly club and other friends followed
the remains to their final resting place.

DEAD IN HIS CABIN.
John S. Moore, Well Known Mining Man
of Ward, Dies of Heart Disease.

Johp/S Moore, well known Colorado
Mining man. was found dead in bunk
i9fhe shaft house of his mine. the Oklo-
Homa, at Ward Saturday afternoon. Mr..
Moore has resided in Ward about seven
years. Last October he suspended work
on his mine and went to Shelbyville, ILL.,,
where his invalid wife and two grown
children reside. About three weeks ago
he returned, expecting to resume work
on the Oklohoma. He made. his home
alone in the shaft house Of the property.
1t was his custom to procure water tor
domestic purposes from the Uuca mile,
and Saturday afternoon an employe re-
marked to Superintendent Dawson of
the Utica company that he had not
noticed Mr.. Moore come for water since
Tuesday. Mr.. Dawson thought it might
be we'll to investigate and sent couple
of men to the Oklohoma, who, finding
the shaft house door locked, and upon
looking through the window observing
Mr.. Moore's clothing upon chair. broke
into the house and found Mr.. Moore dead
in his bunk.
The deceased had evidently died of
heart disease, and death, it is believed,
occurred last Tuesday night. The body
was much bloated Mr.. Moore was 70
years of age and has resided in diferen,
portion of Colorado for the last IS years.
He has had charge of various mining
properties in Georgetown and Boulder
county. For three years he was super
intendent of the Yellow Pine mine in this
county, when that property employed a
large force of men and produced some
gold. Mr.. Moore was halt owner of
the Oklohoma, which lies few hundred
feet east of the great Utica mine, and is
believed to be on the same vein. George
R. Williamson of this city owns the other
half and they valued the mine at 5000 O..
Coroner Trezise was notified and brought
the remains to Boulder on Saturday
night. The funeral was held in this city
this morning.

Prominent and Well Known Citizen OF
Boulder Comfy Passes Aaway.
Yesterday occurred the death of Anton
Rosenbaum on his farm several miles
east of Boulder, from the results of in.
juries received from a runaway some
days ago.
Mr.. Rosenbaum was aged 63 years.
having lived in Boulder for nearly Is
years. He was very prominently known
in this county and had amassed some
little fortune. He had been married
twice, and had ten children by his first
wife, four boys and six girls. Most
prominently known among his children
are c. c. Rosenbaum, Michael and Har'
mon and Mrs. DR.. !. H. Boyd and Mrs
James Autrey. both of Louisville. His
second wife is still living.
The funeral services will be held on
Tuesday at 10 a. m, from his residence
six miles east of Boulder. His remains
will be inferred in the South Boulder
cemetery.
Rugged American manhood had no
truer example than the subject Of this
sketch. 1t was not letters nor learning
nor social culture that enabled this man
to stamp his sign manual upon the lite
of Boulder county 1t was rugged

| 1t is reported that the 80 tons of
deciduous fruit exported gave quite
satisfactory returns. 1t is to be hoped
that this new important branch of fruit
shipments viii rapidly increase.
| The business of the past year has
been one of conservative drifting and
waiting. that is to say, there has been
no disposition to push sales but rather
to do that only which came along and
seemed safe and desirable
! Presidential year is ALWAYS one of
caution, and that Of the last one was
| SO particularly. Merchants ordered
cautiously from Eastern markets and

This course of the merchants was gem
orally approved by the banks The re-
suit here is that the banking situation
| is now better than it has been for
years and merchants are less indebted
to the banks than usual Money is
seeking investment at reduced rates
| and the country is waiting and ex-
pecting a forward movement. The
market for wheat and wine is in a
condition that stimulates production,
and the outlook for many other pro-
ducts which heretofore has been dis
couraging is now promising renumera-

CITY IMPROVEMENT.
| The improvement of the city during
the year has been phenomenal consid-
ering the general depressed situation of
the country. This is doubtless owing
to the large output of the leading local
industries-the utilization of electric
power and a growing confidence in the
future of the city and the surrounding
| tributary country. A report in detail
| by Mayor C. H. Hubbard and which is
herewith submitted, states that there
have been erected in this city during
the past year some 400 new buildings,
many of them fine structures. and in
addition thereto the city has spent
some S233,000 in public improvements
of a permanent character.
The leading feature of development
in the county has been at Fair Oaks
Colony, near Orangevale and Folsom.
The first important excursion thereto
