Gen. Rosecrans Dying.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 10.
Gen. Rosecrans is still alive,
but his death is only a question
of few hours. DIR. John r.

there is scarcely any ray of
hope.
Five years ago Gen. Rose
Grams was stricken with apo

covered. He also suffered from
fatty degeneration of the heart.
For five years it has been one
long battle of sickness and suf-
fering with him. All his fam
lily are at his bedside.

Women for Chain Gang.

Owensboro, KY, March 10.
Mayor w. p. Small ordered
that when women, are confined
in the work house and there is
no other work for them to do
they must take their places with
the street hands and shovel
dirt with the chain gang. The
citizens will probably petition
him to revoke this order. His
recent plan of publishing the
names of all who asked the city
for aid in the local papers is
also unpopular and will like
wise be revoked.

MUST STAND TRIAL.
The United Sites Authorities Say That
the Seminole Burners VIII Be
Prosecuted for Murder.

Washington, March TO-
Since it has been ascertained
beyond question that Lincoln
McGeisy was innocent of a par
ticipation in the murder of Mrs.
Laird. the United States au-
thorities have taken a renewed
interest in bringing the perpe
traitors of the shocking crime to
justice. Attorney General
Griggs has been personally in
vestigating the law bearing
upon the subject and the result
is that he has instructed the
United States attorney that a
conviction for conspiracy in
this case would carry with it
the death penalty or imprison-
ment for life. The authority
to inhict such a penalty is given
in section sos and 500 of re-
vised statutes which reads as
follows:
"Sec. 5508. If two or more
persons conspire to injure, op-
press, threaten or intimidate
any citizen in the free exercise
or enjoyment of any right or
privilege secured to him by the
constitution or laws of the
United States, they
shall be fined not more than
$4,000 and imprisoned not more
than ten years x ="
Sec. 500. If in the act of
violating any provision in
either of the two preceding sec
tions any felony or misdemean-
or be committed. the offender
shall be punished for the same
with such punishment as is at
tached to such felony or misde-
meanor by the laws or the state
in which the offense is com
mitted."

Ike herself, and some day dies. But she has been faithful to the church, and the most striking thing about servlce fin the great cathedral is the presence or the women of Havana and the absence of the men. It Is said here that most men go to church but three times In their lIfe-when baptized, when about to be married and when dead-and the church is as rigid In Its requirement of the first two visits as the departed Is to be received there at last.
 The cathedral Is really one of the finest 6slifices in Havana It Is built to last for ages In It are the remains of Christopher Columbus-that is, the tomb Is there, beside the altar and the inscription. It Is also duly autnentl- cated that the remains are there, too, but even Spaniards nod doubtfully when asked, ''1s it trueT
 The lottery is the curse of Havana. One of the first cries heard on the street in the morning Is the schrilf voice of a Cuban yelling that he has lottery tickets for sale. It Is often the last sound heard at night It would seem that all Cuba must gamble to support so formidable a company of fakers.
 All the storekeepers are courteous and unobtrusive. A visitor experiences great difficulty in purchasing anything characteristically Cuban in the stores, but that is because Cuba produces only two things, sugar and tobacco, and buys everything she uses-even buys back her sugar refined.
 The easiest thing to buy is cigars, and they cost astonishingly less than in the States. There is an experience in buy ing them, because the great cigar fnc- tories of Havana, producing brands that are known to smokers all over the world, are interesting institutions. They occupy buildings so nearly resembling the ordinary dwelling house that they would be mistaken for them by a stranger except for the odor.
 Quaint Cuban Houses.
 The Cuban house of the better class is of the ordinary, typical construction. It is enormously heavy. built of adobe or soft stone, to withstand earthquakes and to resist heat. The rooms are enor- | nous, with ceiling from fifteen to twen- ty or twenty-five feet high, all floors. even in the bedrooms, being of stone, and the windows covered with great iron bars.
Fort Wrangel news., 1898-06-22

The houses of the lower class look no different from without. but are awful within, and there the cause of Havana's scourges of yellow fever Is at once ap- parent. The city is badly drained. The bay, with no free course of water, and comparatively little tide, is a reservoir, uncleansed, of the city's offal. It breeds disease, and fin squalor where personal uncleanlineSS is added to the peris in- cured by municipal neglect, the houses of the poor have become the incubators of pestilence. Havana has many beau tlful parks, squares and public places. The squares are all ornamented with royal palms and here and there an or ange or banana tree, and here and there an Indian laurel.
 No city in the world Is furnished with such an abundance and variety of foods as is Havana, with the possible excep- ton of San Francisco. The earth and

sun sinks. however, the lazy inhabit- ants turn out, and the life of the night Is the lively life of Havana. The city has not been very businesslike under Spanish rule. Most of the men are worthless and dissiTnted. They lounge in cafes and look only 10 pleasure such as the Spanlarl delights in-gamblin2, cock fighting, bull batting. No thought of the morrow Is taken, and the result Is that more lmproyident population can be found nowhere. Sunday Is Ha. vana's holiday.
 As for the churches, thousands of women religiously attend. In Cuba the church and her children are woman's life. She soon loses her husband as her companion in the home. She does not read. She never heard of new wom- an. She has her little circle of friends

the commander of the fortress to sur render. Sores soon grew tired of the place and withdrew. But his example was frequently followed, and numor- ous attempts were made by buccaneers 10 capture the city and loot 1t. Notable among these efforts was that of the En- glish buccaneer, Sir Francis Drake, who assaulted Havana ln 1885. but was compelled to retire. The first scourge of yellow fever appeared in the ship ping during the summer of 1161. In 17G2 Admiral Pocock, with an English squadron. attacked Havana and forced 1t to capitulate. For two months the city put up a brave defense. In 1763 Havana was restored to the spanish ny the treaty of Paris.
 The first newspaper published In Ha- vana was La Gaceta de Ia Iabana, which appeared in 17s2. In 17S9 the Jesuits were expelled from the city. and their church was converted Into the cathedral of the diocese. This Is the church in which 1t Is said the ashes of Columbus were deposited in the year 1900. In ISIS Havana was opened 10 the commerce of the world.

AVANA. the capital of Cuba,

r r AVANA, the capital of Cuba,
 T is n world-city. known wher- A A ever the fame of cities has reached. and deserving of it's fame, too, for like all great cities of Industry and art, 1t Is unique. Cuba's capital Is coeval with the Mcditerranese conquest of the Western hemisphere. The name of the city Is characteristic of the re- ligious Latin races. for when Diego de VelasqueZ laid its foundations, In 1015, he chrstened 1t san Cristohal de h la- bana-St Christopher of the haven or harbor-in honor of Columbus, the dis coverer of the island. This name, be- slowed upon the city by the conQueror of the island, has remained unchanged, and 1t is still officially so called. But its popular name has been shortened to Habana in Spanish and Havana in oth- CT tongues. The city has population of about 200,000.
 Havana Is sited on the west side of the bay of It's own name-one of the most beautiful bodies of water of It's kind found anywhere. The city stands on a sort of peninsula that is formed on one side by the waters of the bay, and on the other by those of the gulf. In olden times 1t was one of the strong est of the places of the civilized world. When ships of war were of wood and carried n few guns whose bullets were repelled by granite masonry, Havana was impregnable But the "oak levia- thans" and the "rock-built cities" of Lord Byron are now historical. On the one hand the recent destruction of the Maine indicates the cause why granite walls are no longer needed, md on the other 1t Is seen how the subma- rlne mine and torpedo have developed gun powder, which enables ship to stand miles without harbor and land shells in n city's heart.
 Yet if it were not for Spanish poverty and decline, Havana today might have been as relatively strong as when, in 15S5, 1t drove the fierce Sir Francis Drake away from it's coasts. The fact is that the Spaniards have not kept step with the march of progress. The in- sanity of attempting to defend Havana with the same implements and methods

GOAT HUNTING IN ALASKA.
Novel Way to Firing Wild Goats Into
 Rifle Range,

Rihc Range,
 "Thcy have queer way of hunting mountain goats up in the mountains back of Skaguay," said D. ]. McKin- ney. the Mayor of Skaguay." at the Hotel Northern. "rhe boys Gt one of my camps told me one day that they had seen some goats up in the hills and they asked me If l wanted to go along to hunt them. Of course l did, and we were soon climbing high up on the mountains. away above the altitude that thought any living creature would live. Still up and up We went The boys were trying to get above place where they had seen the goats q few days before When they had To- cated the proper point, they selected a huge boulder and got me to help them tip It over It took the combined strength of three of us to get the rock started. When it did get to going the havoc il caused on its way down to the valley was something fearful. Then the boys told me to get ready for Il surprise. We all got our rifles ready and waited. It was only n short time until we saw emerging from the scrub by growth below us three fine goats. They came toward us, bounding from crag to crag and apparently needless of the danger they were running into. They came to within sixty yards of Us and we brought down all three.
 T learned then that the goat always tries to get above rolling rocks. and that that is q fayoritc way of hunting them. "-Seattle poSt-IntelligenGer.
