A ROAD MANUAL
For Use of the Army in Cuba Prepar-
ed by General Stone.

Washington June 23-Brig. Gen. Stone
now on the staff of Major Gen. Miles,
has prepared a manual for the use OF
troops operating in Cuba, covering the
most expeditions means of cutting mil
itary roads through the tangled tropical
vegetation, swamps and underbrush
through which the American army
must push it's way in Cuba. Gen. Stone
was the road expert of the agricultural
department, but on the breaking out OF
the war. Secretary A1ger asked that he
be assigned to the military service, with
a view to making his expert knowledge
available to road building through
Cuba. He has made a study of Cuban
soil, vegetation and timber growth and
besides a personal acquaintance with
the country he has collected number of
photographs, maps, etc, which show II
detail the topography and the Vegeta-
tiOn of the island. With his material IN
hand, Stone has framed his manual for
military roads in Cuba, which has with
in the last few days been distributed to
commanding officers for their guidance.
In opening roads through Cuba, Gen.
Stone makes good use of the guava
tree, or brush, which grows in luxur
ious abundance throughout the island.
He gives dia grams by which this is to
be cut, and the boughs bound up, MAX
ing compact roll about the size of a
small log. These guava bundles, known
as fascines, are laid lengthwise, one
row of bundles tapping over another
like shingles. There are successive lay
ers of this, bound together making a
serviceable roadway, strong enough for
troops and even for field ordnance.
The manual lays down the following
general plan for Cuban road making:
''If the road is an important one it
should have about 16 feet of travel way
and to allow for bitches on either side,
the ground should be cleared at least 80
feet wide. Running through a wooded
country, the advance or clearing party
should be equipped with axes, mach
cites, bush scythes, and a few forks,
and should be instructed to cut and
clear away all vines, weeds and small
underground and to bind up into bun
dies, all small bushes less than an inch
in diameter at the ground, these bun
dies to be kept for repairs of roads. If
there is heavy timber the second gang,
equipped with axes and saws, will chop
all trees, leaving the root in the ground
and saw the trees into such lengths as
will allow the legs to be hauled or roll
ed off the roadway"
It is then provided that the third
gang, equipped with hatchets and twine
will cut the bushes and make the fas-
cines or bundles to be used for the road
bed.

A SPORTY SPANIARD.
Senior Rob1edo, the Coming Man,
Keeps Game Chickens

Madrid, June 23.-Many believe that
the coming man in Spain is Don Fran
cisco Romero y Robledo, former Span
ish minister of justice and a strong
character. He is an Andalusian by
birth, but looks more like an English
man. He is tall and has light, curly
hair, turning to gray, and his teeth
protrude. He has won his position
largely by personal magnetism and his
oratOry. AS an orator he is considered
second only to CASTELAR,.
He sprang from poor parents and has
forced his way upward to the front
rank of public life. He has dabbled in
politics since his student days, and his
the sobriQuet Eel polio de Antequera," J"
the chicken of Antequera-his birth
place.
He is a great judge of bull fighting,
W hlcn is his passion next to politics.
The torero always finds a welcome at
his house, where silver-mounted horns,
stuffed bulls heads and other trophies
of the arena meet the eye of the visitor
at every turn, proving that the "boys"
are not backward in offering souvenirs
of their prowess to their friend and
erstwhile pupil and companion, for in
his younger days Don Paco," as they
Familiarity call him, often donned the
silk and figured as matador in the
distinguishing himself by his knowl-
edge OF the art of tauromachia and his
deXIerity in manipulating the capa.
His wife, by the way, is a Cuban and
owns great estates on the island, so
they are both greatly interested in the
present war. Their daughters go much
in Madrid society and are very popular.

ARMED WITH PEPPER
And Other Things Women Start
Riot at Oshkosh.

Oshkosh, Wis, June 23.-A serious riot
occurred here today as a result of the
wood workers strike. Several hundred
women armed with clubs, rocks, eggs
and paper sacks of pepper gathered at
the south end of Light street bridge
near the Morgan sash, door and blind
factory and waited for workmen en-
deavoring to enter the factory. The
police were powerless to disperse the
mob and not a man was allowed to en-
ter the factory even the proprietors be-
ing driven back by threats of violence.
NOn-union laborers were singled out
and chased for blocks, a number of
them being struck by stones and eggs.
AS a consequence the plant was ordered
closed down and the manufacturers are
now holding a conference with the city
officials.
A similar riot on a small scale oc-
CURED last night, during which one
man had his nose smashed by a stone.
Serious trouble is anticipated as the
strikers are feeling ugly. Several in
cendiary fires in the past few days are
laid to the strikers and it is feared a
resort to force may result in further at
temptS in this direction.

COMFORT FOR ANIMALS.
A New Glass of Transport Ships
Needed.

Washington, June 23.-Assistant Sec
retary Meiklejohn is considering the
adVisa bility of acquiring vessels spec
tally adapted for cattle carrying pur-
poses for the use of the war depart
ment in transporting hereafter such
animals as may be necessary in the
West Indian expeditions. The exper-
ience of the horses and the mules, which
were taken with Gen. Skaters army
demonstrated to the officials that some
provision ought to be made which with
safety and comfort of the animals
while on the trip. The press reports
from the expedition show that a num-
Der of the animals Jared very badly and
some of them died presumably from
the lack of accommodations suitable
for transportation.
There are a number of transatlantic
vessels engaged in the cattle carrying
trade especially fitted out for this pur-
pose which the department believes can
be secured for the use of the United
the animals safely to their destination
without any serious consequences.
An agent of the quartermaSter'S de-
partment is now in Montreal inspect
ing a number of British vessels which
have been offered to the department
for transport purposes He expects to
return to the city today to report.
The following transatlantic liners
have been offered to the government:
The Adriatic, Furst Bismarck, The City
of Rome.
All these are large vessels capable of
carrying a great many men and would
be extremely valuable to the govern
ment for transport purposes if they
are secured.

that kind nor any underclothing or
night shirts.
Anything of that kind will be CRATE
fully received, I am sure and 1 have
made arrangements to see that the SOL
diers get what is intended for them.
1t would be a mistake to send it to the
hospitals for anything sent in that way

distributed and nine times out of ten it
Will not go to the persons for whom it
is intended
Governor Leedy says that any money
sent to him will be properly receipted
for and forwarded to the proper per-
sons. He has also made arrangements

For superintendent of public instruc-

For member state board of education
George E. Willetts of Calhoun county,
PopuIst.
The above ticket was nominated by
the state conventions of the Democrats,
PopulistS and Silver Republicans or
Michigan. 1t represents an equal dis
tribution between the three parties.
The ticket was ratified in joint conVen-
tion last night.
The platforms do not conflict on any
essential point. That adopted by the
Populists, is perhaps, less radical than
heretofore; and at the request OF the
POpuliStS a plank was inserted in the
Democratic platform favoring the IN
itiative and referendum. The Silver Re
publicans also modified their declara-
ton to make it more in accordance Win
the Democratic platform. The latter
reaffirms allegiance to the Chicago
platform of 1896
It criticises mildly the present state
administration, but does not mention
the name of Pingree. The war plank
reads as follows:
eve favor a vigorous prosecution OF
the war with Spain, which was begun
and is being waged in the interests of
humanity and for the extension of po-
litical freedom. We urge the most lib
eral supply of modern arms to our sol
diers and the utmost energy in their
shipments; we declare our conviction
that there should be no cessation OF
effort until every righteous purpose
shall have been achieved"
The Democratic platform closes with
q. message of greeting to w. ]. Bryan.

CHAMBERLAIN TO RETIRE.
Dissatisfied, He Will Head the Un-
ionists in Opposing Foreign
POIicv.

London, June 23.-It is rumored that
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, will shortly resign
from the ministry in order to assume
the leadership of a large number of
Unionfsts in the house of commons, who
are discontented with the foreign pol
icy of the government. There seems to
be no doubt that Mr.. Chamberlain is
dissatisfied with his present position,
and if affairs in the far east and West
Africa take the turn he expects, his
friends believe that he will not remain
in the cabinet to share the shipwreck OF
policy he never approved. Whatev-
er may be the outcome, the disquieting
idea is undoubtedly prevalent in con-
servatfve circles that Mr.. Chamber
lain cOntemplateS some sensational
move, and the extent to which this is
credited shows how little Mr. Chamber
lain can count upon Tory confidence.

LIVING SKELETON WEEDS.
New York Museum Attraction Wants
Some One to Love.

New York, June pa wedding with
peculiarly interesting and unique fea-
lures took place on the third floor of the
apartments at 21 South Fifteenth
street last evening. The contracting
parties were Miss Emma Schaller and
VIM. @. Cole. Rev. DR.. Campbell of the
Methodist church performed the cere-
mony, which was witnessed by the
brides mother, a few neighbors and
several newspaper men-the latter ac-
cidentally invited guests.
The bride was wheeled into the mar
riage license office in the afternoon
in an invaiid's chair accompanied by
her mother and the prospective groom.
The latter is a strong, well built man
of 43 years. The bride is 3d.
Mrs. Cole is we'll known to the mu-
scum patrons of the United States.
having exhibited in all the large cities
as a skeleton. When her occupation
demanded it, it is alleged, she reduced
her weight to 50 pounds, though her
normal avoirdupois is about 130. She
has also Travelled as an ossified woman.
She abandoned the profession about
year ago, and declares that she is out
of it for good.
Il quit when they began to reduce
salaries" she said. '1 don't want any
of the members of the profession to
know that I have been married-not
that I am ashamed of 1T, but simply
because it is q private matter, and 1
am no longer interested in the freak
business. I was at it for eight years,
and in all that time have never had an
ache or pain; no, not even headache.
Some of the doctors have pronounced
my ailment rheuma tiSm, but others in
SiSt that it is a muscular trouble, and
think the latter right.
Il wanted to get a husband who was
big and strong enough to take care of
me. The skeletons with whom 1 was
associated were a little light. For
eight weeks 1 showed as the bride of
skeleton. That was the only matri-
monial experience I've had. 1 made lots
of money at the business. My mother
adviser and business manager, and we
had some very good times, but I've con-
cluded now to settle down to a quiet
life"
When asked how, when necessary
she could bring her weight down from
130 to 80 pounds, she replied: All
that was the mystery of it. No one
knew. I didn't show it in my face,
but my entire body, from the shoulders
down, thinned out. People wondered
but was careful to keep the lnforma-
ton to myself"
Mrs Cole is quite a modest little wo-
man, good looking and a bright, enter
tanning talker. She was arrayed IN
bridal costume-white dress and veil,
and seemed happy as a lark when the
minister pronounced the words making
her the wife of William c. Cole. She
was obliged to remain seated during
the ceremony, and her groom ana all
the witnesses did likewise. When DR..
Campbell said That's all,'' the groom
smiled happily, took his wife's arm and
planted a kiss upon her cheeks. For
him the brides physical aff1iction meant
no sorrow. He gladly accepted the re
sponsibiiity of loving and caring for
her, and she just as faithfully prom
ised to be a true, devoted and affec-
tionate wife.
