has been foremost in promulgating
the doctrine of the essentially con-
tagious nature of tuberculosis. The
obstacles to any legislation thus far
have been those cited by Professor
Brown of England-the difficulty of
detecting the disease during the life
of the affected animal, and insuffi-
Gent knowledge of its nature and
extent. In consequence of numer-
Gus petitions from all parts of the
empire, expressing the wish that
something be done to check the
spread Of bovine tuberculosis, the
chancellor of the empire, on Oc-
tober %, 1887, issued circular to
the different States for the purpose
of obtaining as complete statistics as
possible on the present status of the
disease.
In response to this circular the
governments of the various States
issued instructions to the various
departmental officials, veterinarians,
and meat inspectors, embodying in
tabulated form the questions formu-
lated in the circular. These were
issued at different times during the
year 1888 and the statistics were to
cover one year from the time they
were begun. The results of these
inquiries will of course not lbe made
known for sometime. That they
will, however, lead to stringent
measures for the suppression of the
disease and the greater protection
of human health there can be little
doubt.
As the above report was issued
in 1880, it is probable the statistics
sought by the German Government
have been obtained ere this, but if
so they are not at present obtain
able.

How Insect Pests rlay be Scat
tered.

immigration Commissioner Wray
Taylor had an experience the other
day, while looking into some labor
troubles on Hawaii, that illustrates
how persons may innocently carry
insect pests into new districts. In
his grip he carried changes of under
clothing, and on taking out suit
he discovered, nicely ensconsed in a
garment very healthy japanese
beetle. How or when it got there
he does not know, but he quickly
dispatched it. He probably carried
it all the way there from Honolulu;
and in similar ways travellers prob
ably often carry pests from one
place to another.

A C0NFICT,sc3 ROMANCE
HOW SHEPHERD VISITED SWEET
HEART OUTSIDE PRISON WALLS.
His Rope Ladder Found one Night at
Jacksonville and the Love
Business stopped.



JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. April %
Thomas Shepherd, the noted convict from
Sullivan, who was last Tuesday released
from the Michigan City prison, finishing a
twenty-year sentence, which had been re-
duced from life sentence by Governor
Matthews, was the principal in an escapade
while confined in what was formerly the
Prison South that attracted widespread
attention. Shepherd was placed in the big
tower overlooking the wagon gate to throw
the lever which opened and closed the
gate. Although constantly attended by a
guard he began filtration with a woman
living near the prison and soon letters were
exchanged. AT last he devised means by
which he could visit the object of his af-
fections. On account of the crowded con-
dition of the cellhouses Shepherd was al
lowed to sleep in a little house just inside
of the walls near the big gate. He began
securing material to make a rope ladder,
and when he had secured a sufficient guam
tity made the ladder and kept it hidden
in his shanty. Every night he would go
through the tower, fasten the rope to the
wall and descend Oh the outside, visit his
sweetheart, return, climb to the top of the
wall, pull the rope after him and retire to
his bed This was repeated for four con-
secutive nights, when the rope was dis
covered by Pat Gill, a passerby, and, think
ing that convict had escaped notified the
officials, who secured the rope. When
Shepherd returned from his. visit and found
that his ladder was gone he could do noth-
ing but apply at the main entrance for ad-
mission, which he did, Col. j. B. Patten,
who was then warden, was mad, but Shep-
herd only smiled and it is safe to say that
he was never allowed to sleep in the shanty
any more

The Vigilancia sailed from Tampico April
IL. MatanZaS was reached on the morning
of the 21st The greatest excitement pre-
vailed on shore and troops and artillerymen
We're drilling. The steamer meanwhile took
on board twelve thousand bags of sugar
and other cargo. Captain Mcintosh went on
shore to attend to the entrance and clear
ance of the steamer. He found the people
greatly excited. The Spanish officers were
planting mines in the harbor, the regular
buoys We're being removed and every
preparation was being made to put the har-
Dor in a defensive condition There was one
gunboat in the harbor busily engaged in
overseeing the laying of the mines and
torpedoes. From one of the passengers 1t
was learned that conflict of authority
arose between the military and naval COM
manders, the latter desiring to detain the
Vigilancia, but the captain of the port rep
resenting the military forces, presumably
under order Of Captain General Blanco in
sisted that permission should be granted the
steamer to leave the port, as yet no notice
of the commencement of hostilities had been
received. The pilot appearing on board at
daybreak on the 22d, Captain Mcintosh
deemed it prudent to get under way i'm
mediately and the steamer departed at $50
a. M, leaving behind more than four thou
sand bags of sugar and about eighty pas
SengerS who were booked to sail by the
steamer. Only three passengers succeeded
in getting on board from a small boat few
hours before the steamer sailed.

coed slowly towards the Cincinnati and we
were also advised to use caution as, other
wise, it was added, trouble would befall us
The Dauntless proceeded slowly. but it
seems not slow enough and the glare of
the cruisers searehlghts fell on Captain
Floyd. The first intimation that we were
in too close proximity to the war ship was
contained in the report of a six-pounder.
Then came a quick hail:
"Heave to, Dauntless.H
Then came the order: Back her, back
her, or you will get shot through YOU"
She was backed. Then the Dupont stole up,
quietly reporting to the Cincinnati This is
the boat we sighted in shore"
A voice from the Cincinnati replied:
Very good, we will send a boat on board
of her.
All this time the glare of the cruisers
searchlights on the Dauntless was almost
intolerable. Soon afterwards boat from
the Cincinnati, pulled by six oars. with En-
sign Mcintyre in the stern sheets. came

were found to be satisfactory. Then we
learned we had transgressed far within the
limits set for vessels and had had a close
shave of being fired on with shot. We ex-

THE CUBAN CABLES.
One Alleged to Have Been Cut by the

Auxiliary Cruiser MangrOve.
NEW YORK, April 25.--A dispatch to the
Herald from Tampa, Fla, says: THE
United States has cut the Havana cable.
The cut was made about ten miles out of
Havana, and the southern end of the cable
is now on the Mangrove, which was recent
ly converted into an auxiliary cruiser. This
gives the government exclusive use of the
cable and entirely cuts Captain General
Blanco off from communication with Spain,
as the insurgents are between him and the
the blockade of Cienfuegos is established,
to cut the cable between that point and
Jamaica, thus entirely severing Geographic
communication between Cuba and the out
side world, except such matter as is sent
through the United States censorship. This
censorship has already been rigidly estab-
lished at Key West. 1t is said the censor
ship will be extended to Punta Gorda.
Orders have been issued by the Navy
Department to prevent the newspaper boats
from following the fleet thus doubling the
d1fhculty Of obtaining accurate information
as well as greatly delaying it.
Officers and crew of the captured ship
Buena Ventura have been given their lib
erty after consultation of navy and army
officers in Key West. The captain and
purser, as well as the crew, were compelled
to shovel coal into the Helena notwith-
standing their strenuous objections. They
were not held as prisoners of war because
they were captured on the high seas before
war had been formally declared.

such a threatening character as to cause

All these political dangers are aggravated

KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 25.-The
Spanish military administration at Santiago
de Cuba and Guantanamo is taking all the
food supplies in the stores and warehouses
in anticipation of blockade. Fifteen days
would starve out Santiago de Cuba. AL
fredo TRAY, United States consul at Bara-
Goa, who is now here, says that this seiz-
ing of all food for the army will double
the horrors Of the RECOMMENDATION period,
as the entire civil population is liable to
starvation.
The Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes is in
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba disabled.
Her boilers have been taken out, but as
there are no repair facilities available she
is unable to put to sea. The cruiser has
three hundred tons of coal.
A private cable from ManZanillo says that
a steamer-name unidentifed-Sailed yeSter-
day for Jamaica with a large party OF refu-
gees and is due here tomorrow. Another
steamer has been chartered to sail later.
Pulaski Hyatt, American consul at Santiago
de Cuba who is here received a cable mes
sage to-day saying that q steamer would
leave Wednesday with more CUBAN ana
American refugees. The vessel is due to
arrive at Port Antonio on Thursday There
are no torpedoes in the Santiago harbor or
were none up to the 21st of April. BuoyS
were set marking places of six torpedoes,
but none were laid, owing to the lack OF a
competent expert. Mr.. TRAY says an old
ship will be sunk in the narrow channel,
thus closing it against the approach of an
American war snip.
Mr.. RamsGen, the British consul, has a
list of the Americans remaining in Santiago

intends to accord them full protection If
possible.

Tapped for Strategic Purposes.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Nothing is
known at the Navy Department of the re-
ported cutting of the cable connecting Cuba
with Key West by the Mangrove, ten miles
out at sea. There is a good deal of doubt
as to the accuracy of the report and it is
believed that the most that has been done
in that direction has been the tapping Of
the cable for strategic purposes. The United
States is party to a convention which
binds all the signatories, most of the marine
powers of the world, to refrain from inter-
ference with cables in the event of war
Perry Belmont while chairman of the
House committee on foreign affairs, labored
to this end for several years, and finally
succeeded in having the United States sign
the agreement. a naval officer of high rank
when questioned on the subject to-day re-
marked that almost all agreements are sus-
pended by war when they injure the inter-
ests Of one of the combatants and favor
the other. The cable connecting Cuba with
Madrid would be most powerful assist
ance to Spanish cause just now and would
work equal injury to US, wherefore, said
the officer, prudent naval commander
doubtless would cut the cable first and let
the diplomats talk about it afterwards.
