CLOUDBURST IN INDIANA.
EVACUATION OF CUBA.
Spanish Don't Want to Begin IL
Until November list.

WASHINGTON, September A-Officials
here are watching with interest the pro-
gress being made by the military commits
sion at Habana In securing the evacua-
ton of the Island Of Cuba. The commits
sion has been very slow In making re-
ports TO the War Department, but from
the latest received it appears that the
body would like 10 have more definite in
structions as to procedure. 1t seems that
the Spanish side has said that they could
not begin the evacuation of the island
until the LIST Of November. and that it
could not be completed before the 2Sth Of
February next
In view OF the alarming state OF the
Cubans, who are suffering from hunger
owing to their inability, under the present
uncertain conditions, to obtain work. the
President decided that he could not as
sent to the consumption of so much time.
Therefore, he caused the commission to
be instructed to demand that the evacua-
ton by the Spaniards shall begin not
later than October 18th, and that 1t be
completed by December 31st next. What
the result of this demand will be Is not
yet known, but 1t is said that the admin
istration is determined to tolerate no
dilatory tactics on the part of the Spanish
forces in leaving the island, although dis
posed to permit reasonable indulgence.
No notice has been taken of the ex-
pressed purpose of the Spanish Captain
General to remove from the island the re-
mains Of Christopher Columbus. with part
OF the surrounding monument. IL the
monument is not permanent fixture, II
has to be decided whether II Is a part
of the island, and attention will be
called to the terms of the protocol, al
though this must be done with haste, as
the removal is said to be fixed for next
Tuesday.

A Horrible sight.

SAUsALITO. CAL, September A.-A

hatchway he was confronted by man
with a pistol in his hand. Nelson backed
out of the door and jumped into the
water. The man fired several shots at
Nelson. one OF which struck him In the
leg. Meantime, the people on board the
yacht Alameda, lying nearby, hearing
the noise. went out in boat for the

The home for wandering and unpro-
tected cats in Washington was estab-
lished through the efforts OF Miss Peet,
one OF the members of the Humane So
cietyi The home serves a double purpose.
1t is a shelter for vagrant cats who are
without friends, and 1t is a boarding
house for cats whose friends are away on
their summer or winter vacations.
The services Of a veterinarian sometimes
are In demand, but the cat home is In
no sense of the word a hospital. The
boarders are separated from the vulgar
herd and have apartments Of their own.
The boarders are brought by their friends,
who pay % cents a week for their
pets board and lodgings. The rest
OF the cats in the shelter are not swooped
I'D off the streets while they are peace
fully summing themselves by wickedly
inclined cat-catchers. Instead or that
the people who have two or three cats
more than they care for send request
10 the shelter that the superhous cats
be sent for.
Several times a week the shelter is
visited by the ladies who constitute the
Board of Managers. They take every
opportunity to become acquainted with
the cats under their care, they study
their possibilities. The hgh-bred cats
and those who seem to be capable Of be-
ing educated into good. reliable members
of society are placed in suitable homes.

and degenerate cats and kittens are

Cats was opened in August, 1881. From
then up to July 1, 1895, 1856 cats were sent
