One Million Dollars to the Cubans

Since the cessation of hostilities this gov
ernment has spent about $1,000, 900 in feed
ing starving Cubans and the work is still
going on with untiring vigor. The Comal,
about which there was a dispute over per-
mitting the entry of supplies which it car
ried, took 100000 rations to the province
of Havana. The Batten and Port Victor
carried a million rations each to the starv-
ing Cubans and the Comal is now at Savan-
nah with 100000 rations and will be ready
to sail in day or two. 1t is estimated that
these rations cost in round numbers 81, ,OOO,-
600. Besides this, about 5000, 600 were left
at Santiago after the campaign before that
city, but have been used by the American
troops and distributed among the Cubans.
The distribution Of rations is now going on
wherever American forces are found in
Cuba, and there is standing order issued
by the secretary Of war to dole out the ra-
tions to Cubans whenever application is
made by them.-Washington Dispatch.

Tried to Carve Her

There was dance at the Manhattan club
on North Los Angeles street last night, and
the festivities were enlivened by an alleged
attempt on the part of young mulatto,
nicknamed "Bronco," to carve Lizzie Carl
ton, colored woman. The pair formerly
lived together, but the woman discarded
Bronco short time ago. He made
threats against her, and said he would carve
her when she went to the club. He was
doorkeeper there several nights ago, and
on that occasion he placed an open knife in
his pocket for the purpose, it is said of carv-
ing Lizzie. He was disarmed, but not ar
rested, upon a promise not to harm the wo-
man. Last night Bronco" is alleged to
have made two savage "swipes" at the wo-
man with the knife. He was disarmed be-
fore he inflicted any injury upon her. Of
ficer Robbins sent the discarded lover to the
police station on a charge of disturbing the
peace. Bronco" gave his name as VIM.

complaint against him today, either for
threats or assault with deadly weapon.

An Austrian's Remarkable Invention

From Vienna comes the report of Won
derful invention OF an Austrian engineer,
by means of which steamships travelling at
high rate of speed can be brought, at an
instant's notice, to standstill without stop
ping the engines. The invention takes the
fern of a brake, and its use, as is obvious,
is to prevent collisions happening at sea.
Tests were made of the new brake with a
steamship of 5000 tons, and this vessel, when
running at the rate of twelve knots an hour,
was brought to standstiN in thirty Sec
onds, and before she had traversed forty
feet. This, too, in spite of the fact that the
engines were working ahead with undimin-
ished power. Results equally satisfactory
were made in every test undergone. Experts
who have gone into the question Of the util-
ity Of the invention thoroughly and it's prac-
ticability state that the brake can be fitted
to any ship of any size and can be applied
when the vessel is going at any rate. 1t is
worked by turning handle, and the cost is
not excessive. Owing to the fact that pat
ents have not yet been taken out in every
country, the inventor is keeping further dt-
tails of his invention secret.-London Let

the Clothes

Zens, recovered the body and brought 1t
to this place. Coroner Campbell was in
formed by telephone, and this morning
came down with his deputy and held an
inquest. The jury brought in a verdict Of

feet eight inches, and slight of form.
Nothing was found on the man that would
serve positively to identify him. In an

C. C. Spen-, San Francisco, Cal, part
Of the name having been torn away. Nearly
eleven pounds of stones were found in
the pockets, besides q silver watch and
chain and six cartridges for 3S-caliber
revolver.
The bullet which caused the unfortunate
mans death was fired from a weapon of
the same caliber. The shot entered on
the right side Of the head just back Of the
ear, lodging in the upper part of the brain,
where 1t was discovered by Drs. Campbell
and Cox, who performed the autopsy.
The remains were inferred this afternoon
in the Redondo cemetery.
