BIamcO Has About $4,000 SOld1erS
Scattered Over the Island.
NEW YORK, Oct. S1.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: 1.-TWO con-
structions are put upon the recent order
of General Blanco that the Spanish troops
in Cuba shall not be discharged. but shall
first go to Spain and receive their pay. This
cancels the previous order of Oct. f. saying
that such Spaniards as desired could re-
main in Cuba. Should the troops choose to
remain this latter order would give the
Spaniards a pretext for asking a longer
time for evacuation, which may be their de-
sire. On the other hand, it is urged by a.
high War Department official that the
cause of this order lies in the inability Of
Blanco to pay them and in the hope, there
fore, that they would desert and thereby
relieve the Spanish government of further
obligation The Spanish regular troops in
Cuba are now much scattered and number
about 8O,775. In the province of Pinar del
Rio there are in all 10,45O men. In the
province of Havana there are IA 100 men
In the province of Matanzas there are 500
men. In the province of Santa Clara there
are %. 205 men, of whom Il, 500 men are in
the Sancti Spiritus division. In the trocha
Jucaro-Moron there are 6,100 men. In the
province of Puerto Principe there are 5000
men. The province of Santiago originally
contained 1885 in the Manzanillo division,
1900 in the Holguin division and II, $50 in the
Santiago division. Out of the total of 42425
men in Santiago province about $4,000 men
have been transported to Spain, leaving
about 1924 now there. These are regular
Spanish troops with whose transportation
the commissioners will have to reckon. Be-
sides these there were over $1,000 volunteers
and guerTillas.

LOUIS SCALA'S FATE.
Possibly Murdered by Men Who Later
Were Drowned in Alaskan Waters.

CHICAGO, Oct. 90.-The Chronicle says:
1.-THE family of Louis Scala, of this city,
who left Chicago on quest for gold in
Alaska last May, is convinced he was muir
dered. He was well provided with funds,
purchased mining machinery and steamer
in Seattle, and enlisted eleven men in the
enterprise. Mrs. Scala says she has strong
reason to believe some one or more of the
party killed him, took his money and equip
ment and started for the Yukon river gold
district, and that by what she regards as a
remarkable coincidence or an act of provi-
dence, retribution overlook the party on
the trip north and nine of the eleven men
were drowned during the storm. Mrs Scala
declares that the peculiar manner in which
the news of his death was sent home and
conflicting stories as to the manner in
which he met his death, coupled with many
other suspicious circumstances, make her
certain her husband met with foul play in
the far North

One woman in Chicago has devoted herself
to the one blessed task of looking after the
children brought to the police station on
various charges, and, If possible, preventing
their entrance upon criminal career. Some
idea of the number of little creatures that
our laws seem deliberately framed to in
jure may be obtained when it is stated that
she goes to but one station house and con-
Germs herself only with prisoners under four
teen years of age, and yet her time is more
than occupied. To be sure she has chosen
the Manufactured station for her base of
operations, where the business of five pre-
cincts is conducted Here she is on hand
every morning at to see if there is not
some way of saving the trembling lad who
has broken window or pilfered fruit from
being thrown into the companionship of
older and moro hardened offenders. She
makes herself anSwerable for his future
good behavior, she goes to his home and
impresseS his mother with the importance
of seeing to his steady attendance at school,
she goes to his teacher and arranges for
special oversight over that boy, including
report as to whether he does or does not
appear regularly at all sessions. For almost
invariably children brought before the police
stations are children who have been playing
truant and have been urged on by bad adj
vice from older boys.
Every magistrate welcomes the assistance
of a sensible, motherly woman in his deal
ings with small delinquents. There is 10
separate court for the trial of these little
ones. They must await their turn in hear

the magistrate. IT, as often happens, they
cannot be tried the day OF arrest, they must

Stuck ON YUKON sandbar..

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S1.-Ice was MAX
ing on the Yukon. and there was thin ice
at Dutch harbor when the Portland sailed
on Oct. II. AT least dozen river steamers
are stuck on sand bars in the Yukon. All
will probably be lost. The Dawson City is
a total wreck The Herman and Tacoma
are aground, and the other boats are in
such perilous positions that when the ice
breaks up they may go to pieces. All the
treasure on the steamer Portland was one
box of gold dust and nuggets consigned to
the Alaska Commercial Company. Its value
was not made known, but it is not believed
to exceed $1,000. Several returning miners
were on the vessel. but they carried their
wealth in the form of drafts and were reti-
cent regarding the amount.

BRAZIL, Ind, Oct. 31.-One of the most
serious tragedies that has occurred in this
county for years took place in the upper
story OF Mack Clark's saloon, at ASHORE.
at an early hour this morning A dozen or
moro men were playing cards, when An
drew Kuhns, of Bowling Green, entered and
quarreled with Emery Tribble. Kuhns was
prepared for trouble and drew a revolver
and sent bullet through Tribble's abdo-
men, irtfiictIng a fatal wound. Clark, the
proprietor of the saloon, secured his re-
volver and quickly covered .Kuhns, but he
was too slow, and Kuhns shot out his left
eye. Clark's bullet. fired at about the same
instant, entered Kuhns' stomach, the victim
falling on the floor. A bystander was also
wounded. On account of Kuhns's condition
it is impossible to place him under arrest,
but officers are keeping him under guard.
Just what started the trouble cannot be
learned. ASHORE is nine miles south of here.
Trbble and KuhES both are dangerously
wounded.
