A bombardment OF the forts at the
south OF Matanzas harbor, Cuba, Is
reported by the latest dispatches.
The ships were the New York, the
Puritan, and the CINCINNATI. Al
though no full or definite reports have
been received, 1t is thought that there
has been no loss of life on our side,
while it Is believed that the Span
iards suffered great loss. The attack
was to prevent the completion OF earth
works; and the partially completed
works were ploughed up by the shells.

Farmers Of California.

The terrible destituiion among the small
farmers in the southern part of Monterey
County. CAL, has led to a general public
movement for the relief of the suffering.
The farmers are not only out OF food, but
out Of seed to grow crops and have no
means of getting relief, as dry weather
Tor two years has completely ruined their
crops. They have appealed to Gov. Budd
for aid, but as he has no fund from which
he can render aid a special fund will be
subscribed. Sugar Millionaire Claus

others are contributing in proportion to
their wealth.

New York and Chicago Cause. Alarm
Many Cite. Visited.

Grip is epidemic in Chicago. Cold
weather. followed by a rise in tempera-
ture and IL warm rain, brought about a
siege of influenza. severe colds and sore
throat and lungs that has not been equal
ed since the epidemic of 1901. The public
Is warned against the disease and the
health authorities state that with the peo-
pie alone rests the question of its serious
ness this year. In consequence Of the
caution necessary OH the part of the pub
lie to prevent a spread of the disease, a
warming bulletin was issued by the health
department. The last epidemic of this
disease in Chicago, together with the I'M
pure water diseases, increased the total
deaths from 21,869 in 1890 to 27,754 in
the epidemic year. 1S01--an increase of
more than onc-fifth-and numbers of the
survivors have never since regaincd their
former condition of mental and physical
health.
In New York the epidemic of grip has
assumed great proportions. Deaths from
grip, pneumonia and bronchitis show a
tremendous increase. 1t is believed that
l25,OOD persons are afflicted. The fire de-
partmcnt is in danger of being crippled
by Il heavy increase of the sick list due
to grip. The police department. is also
affected. Business firms and manufac-
tories employing large forces are suffer-
ing. In IL large office building where
300 people work 800 were sick. The dis
ease is also prevalent in Brooklyn and
Long Island towns. and in several of the,
cities of New Jersey, sue. as Newark.
Elizabeth and Hackensack. '
There are at least 10000 eases of grip
in Baltimore. The drug stores have been
more crowded than the Christmas goods
establishments. In some of the public
schools the attendance has fallen off one7
half. Work in factories and business in.
the large stores is impcdcd by the sick
ness of operatives and employees. The
disease is generally in a mild form. al
though there has been some fatal cases.
AT Annapolis and other towns through
out the State the disease is epidemic.
The disease has also invaded the na-
tional capital and many Government em-
ploycs are sick. Somethin. of an idea of
the extent of the epidemic may lc gained
from the following list of cities which

effects have not been in Europe; 1898 has
seen the United States forged, not by any

with Spain has been begun, prosecuted to
Its end and settled by a treaty of peace

Col. w. j. Bryan arrived in Washington
from Savannah. In an interview concern-
ing the Democratic Issues of 1900, he
said:
II should say the money question, I'M
doubleday. l believe the Chicago plat
form still embodies the sentiments of the
mass Of the American people. I can see
no reason for a popular change of mind
on any Of the issues defined in the last ma
tional platform. The fact that people are
talking about the war does not neccs-
sarily indicate that they have abandoned
former ideas which have no reference to
the war. People can discuss matters of
temporary interest without forgetting
their political views and abandoning their
political principles"
