and then beat me until my body is covered

fore Recorder McDonough of Hoboken, for

husband came home intoxicated. The

CONSPIRACY Tracy IN IN CUBA CUBA.
TBy Cable to The Associated Press I


HAVANA, via Key West, Fla, Dec. 81.
1S97.-Details just received here from
Spanish sources of the conspiracy against
Spanish rule, said to have been dis
covered in the Province of Pinar del Rio,
show that 1,5o0 men, employed in the
fields of Clay, Brock & Co., tobacco
growers, and who had been disarmed,
conspired to join the insurgents. Their
leaders have been imprisoned in MORO
Castle. On Christmas night there were
riots, similar to those which occurred in
Havana, at Matanzas and other towns.
The demonstrations were detected against
autonomy. At Matanzas crowds cheered
for the United States, President Mckinley
and annexation.
A majority of the Conservative majors
have been removed from towns in the in
terror. They represent Is per cent. of the
taxpayers.
A letter from an important insurgent
Chief says that about 100000 insurgents
and reconcentrados have died in Western
Cuba up to Santa Clara He also ex-
presses regret at the suffering endured
by the insurgents in the field.
Dr. Delfin calls attention in the Dlarlo
De La Marina to the necessity for send
ing about fifty physicians into the in
terror of the island, provided with
medicine chests and vaccine. This step,
he says, is to save from certain death in
Vulnerable human beings, who are dying
is a most terrible state of abandonment.
Dr. Delfn adds that over 100000 persons
have died of famine in the fields. He
explains that they were mostly children
and women For those who have survived
something can be done to save them from
perishing in the near future. 1t is not
advisable, the Spanish say, to entrust the
distribution of food and money to the re-
concentrates.
Besides the pangs of famine, the recon-
centrados are suffering from smallpox.
dysentery malaria, etc, which threaten
to extermillate them, therefore it is neces--
sary to send medicines with the food and
physicians BY sending about fifty. ply
sicians to the towns most affected in
Vulnerable human beings can be rescued
from death.
1t is estimated that over 100000 recon-
centrados are starving, sick unto death
and in need of shelter.
It is reported that an important en-
gagement occurred last Monday in the
Mulata Mountains, Province of Pinar del
Rio, and that large numbers were killed
on both sides. One important insurgent
was captured and brought to Havana,
where he is imprisoned incommunicado.

Council and the five Secretaries. The

PEKIN. Dec. 81, 1S97.-Although desirbus
of obtaining British loan, the Chinese
Government refuses to agree to a foreign
control of the internal revenue, either Inn
mediate, or in case of default. Ii Hung
Chang. however, is disposed to favor con-
troll of the internal revenue in case of de-
fault.
In the event of a loan not being procur-
able, China will not pay her war indem-
nifty until 1902, in accordance with one of
the provisions of the Treaty of Simonose-
ki. The final decision is postponed until
after holidays, awaiting a reply from
London
Further German missionary trouble Is
reported from the Shan-Tung Province. It
will possibly delay and complicate the
negotiations -

TO INCREASE WATER RECEIPTS
The street and Water Board TO vi etre
All Public BnildIngs.

Water meters are being placed in Pub
lie School No. 12 today by the Street and
Water Commissioners. The Commission
ers, as has been told in THE News pro-
pose metering all public buildings, The
City Hall will be. metered on Monday.
When all the buildings have been metered
a record of the water consumed will be
nance as an argument for the payment of
each branch of the city government for
water used.
The Street and Water Commissioners
say they will be able to make the depart
ment self sustaining If the several depart
ments pay for the water they use. If that
course is adopted there will have to be a
certain sum inserted in the appropriation
of each Board annually for water. The
Finance Commissioners are opposed to
taxing property owners directly for the
benefit of the water account.

Grewsome Inventions

If one may judge from the patent
records, live people do good deal OF
thinking about death. The very latest
device that has been applied to burial
appliances is the COFFIN torpedo. "
which is designed as an effective and
very summary punishment for body
snatchers. Nothing less thau bomb
is introduced into the coffin, before
the latter is closed, the Arrangement
being such-we spare the reader all
technical details-that any attempt to
force it open will release spring,
strike a percussion cap, and set of the
bomb. The thing is done, and the
robber IS floating in pieces about the
air long before he has had any time
to prepare for his sudden journey.
But what happens to the corpse
The inventor leaves us in the dark on
this point-probably because the ques-
ton Is hard to answer. We are afraid
the coffin torpedo has no very brilliant
future, on this account, and for the
further reason that local authorities
(who are notoriously difficult to deal
with might object to have their burial
grounds studded with internal ma
chimes.
A device much more reasonable is
the grave annunciator," for use in
case OF burial alive. Any disturbance
in the coffin closes an electric circuit,
and springs an alarm in the house OF
the superintendent, who takes note of
the number Of the grave, and proceeds
without further delay to dig up the
victim. For the benefit OF those whose
relatives have been crematel, another
inventor has patented a process for
converting the ashes OF tie defunct,
by the aid of siicate Of soda, into
paste which is to be moulded into
bust or statuette. -Tit-Bits.
