The assembling of the French cham

Dreyfus agitation as . consequence,
Was the occasion of very serious riot
ing in Paris. The anti-Semite feeling
was shown In violent attacks upon
Jews in the streets, and mobs of re-
pnbiicans and royalists had several
pitched battles in which scores were
badly injured. The police arrested
over 200 rioters.
At the opening session of the cham
Der of deputies M. Derouledo made a
violent attack upon the minister of
war, Gen. Chanoine, who, after vigor-
ously defending his doings, rendered
his resignation and quilted the tribu-
nal. M. de Manly offered a resolution
calling on the government to end the
campaign of insult against the army"
Then followed indescribable scenes of
tumult in which there were several
personal encounters. The premier, M.
Brisson, refused to accept the resolu-
ton. A vote of confidence in the gov
eminent was rejected, 2s6 to 254. The
Brisson ministry then resigned.

Albert Martin, a rancher of Ziebeck

Santiago and was wounded at Ell
Caney. A pretty Cuban girl, Ramona
Perez, daughter of one of Garcia's Off
GERS, nursed him until he was able to
be sent home and they became sweet
hearts. After arriving home Martin
was attacked by typhoid fever and
then it became known that he was en-
gagged to m TRY the daughter of a
neighboring ranchman. Meanwhile
the Cuban senorita learning of her
American lovers illness dressed in her
brothers clothes and worked her way
to New Orleans and then tramped to
Hermosa, s. d. There she learned of
Martins deceit and became insane.

Dynamited an Anti-saioonist,s Home.

A dastardly attempt was made to
wreck with dynamite the home of
James Pendell, at Marquette. Mr..
Pendell has been active of late in en-
forcing the sunday closing law against
saloon men, and it is Suspected that
this outrage is the direct outcome of
his efforts in that line. The dynamite
was placed close TO the foundation at
the rear of the house. All windows in
the rear of the house were shattered,
and some in nearby residences. Mr..
Pendell's family of five and two servant
girls were sleeping in the house at the
time, but were uniniured.

A large dam is to be built across
Kalamazoo river, four miles below
Kalamazoo, to cost $125,OOO, by the
Kalamazoo valley Electrical Co., which
proposes to furnish both electric light
ing and power to surrounding points,
and it is very probable that Allegan,
Kalamazoo, Otsego, Plainwell and
other towns will be lighted by the
company. 1t is estimated that 1850
horse power will be developed. Four
large water wheels will be put in, and
the electric generators will be attached

Britain Over the Fashoda Matter


ferences Between France and Great
Britain Over the Fashoda Matter
Both are Preparing for Trouble.
Never since Great Britain and France
began to dispute over Egypt, years
ago, nor during the most acute stage
of the numerous Niger differences be-
tween those two countries has the sit
uation looked so ominous as it now
does over the Fashoda incident. 1t is
a fact that the French naval and mill
tary authorities are making feverisb
preparations for war, and significant
orders have been issued from the Brit
ish admiralty, indicating the belief
that Great Britain and France are on
the brink of war. The French naval
preparations were at first declared to
be mere routine arrangements, but
they are now admittedly directed
against Great Britain. The French
dockyards and arsenals are working
at full pressure, hurriedly preparing
warships and torpedo boats for active
service. At Cherburg and Toulon
the schools have been closed to
permit the use of the school build
ings to be used as barracks for
troops and marines ordered to those
points. On the British side. feeling
of absolute self-confdence is displayed
Everything ready" is the burden of
all the statements from naval quar-
tiers. In fact the British navy has
practically been on war footing for a
year past, and an authoritative an
nouncement to this effect has come
from the secretary of the admiralty.
The British admiralty list shows that
nine British battleships and IL fast
cruisers are lying in the Mediterra-
mean, while the British channel squad
ron, which was last reported off Viii
largarcia, Spain, consisting of eight
battleships and five cruisers, consti-
tutes the most modern and powerful
homogeneous feet of warships afioat.
The commanders of all warships of the
British North American squadron have
received orders to mobilize at Halifax.
1t is underst d that the British gov
eminent proposes to take the steps
necessary to insist upon an early and
definite statement from France.
kilograms from Balmoral intimate
that Queen Victoria is following the
trend of events with much chagrin.
Her aversion to war in the declining
years of her reign is well-known and is
an appreciable factor In the situation.
The French yellow book on Fashoda
seems to indicate an intention on the
part of the French government to util-
ize the Marchand affair. as a means OF
raising the whole Egyptian question.
1t sets forth that France does not re-
gard the British. claim to the Soudan
by virtue of conquest as applying to
Fashoda. The Marchand expedition
pushed forward at time when the
equatorial provinces were lost to civil
ization and France considered herself
equally entitled with England to the
possession of any point occupied by
French officers. As Marchand reached
Fashoda first, England has no right to
demand an evacuation of Fashoda prior
to negotiations. and that such de-
mand would be equivalent To an ulti.

Cutter McCulloch Makes Rapid Run Up
the Bay of Manila.
A San Francisco Chronicle special
from Cavite Of June 81 says:
1.-The McCulloch had an exciting
chase up under the guns Of Manila this
morning on a mission that concerned
the safety of Flag Lieutenant T. M.
Brumby, who left Cavite in a small
launch to go to the British cruiser I'm
mortalite, at anchor with the foreign
feet off the mouth of the Pasig river.
When he was well up the bay, the lynx
eyed watch on the Olympia detected a
larger craft steaming out Of Manila un-
der q flag that looked like the Spanish
colors. ~ =. 80 = ;s::
'The McCplloch was ordered to get
under way, and five minutes later the
dispatch boat went rushing up the bay
at a Is knot gait. Every officer had his
side arms buckled on, and the crew
stood ready at their guns. She headed
direct for Manila in order to get inside
the feet and cut off the retreat Of the
supposed Spanish boat. When she near
ed the fleet, it was discovered that the
craft under suspicion carried the Aus
trian flag, and the chase ended. The
McCulloch held her course, however,
and made a careful examination of the
batteries in front Of Manila and close
inspection of the foreign fleet. No hos
tile demonstration was made"

sMAusER BULLET. WOUNDS.
Surgeons Call Them Humane - Patients

Surgeons Call Them Humane - Patients
Recover If Not Killed Outright.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Smart,
surgeon Of the United States army, was
recently asked whether it was true, as
has been stated in some reports from
Cuba, that the Mauser bullet lacerates
the wounded to a greater extent than
the bullets fred from the American
side. ...:.} =. >'5". ...~
2 After the fight at La Guasima and
the battles of the lst, I'd and Sd of
July, a report became current that the
Spaniards were firing explosive bullets
and then that their bullets spread in
such way as to cause great laceration.
That was the first report, and it has
been repeated constantly ever since.
The fact is, J." he continued, "the Mauser
bullets used by the Spaniards in the
battles we have had in Cuba make what
surgeons call a humane wound. They
drop the man at the time he is struck
and take him from the firing line, but
If they do not kill him then and there
he gets we'll.
"Of all the men wounded in General
Shafter's command have heard of only
one case Of all .amputation Of a limb as
the result Of bullet wound. The am
putations made there have followed
wound by bursting shell, where the
bone has been shattered. The Mauser
bullet does not leave a wound nearly so
difficult to heal as do the bullets used in
the Springfield rifle. The Mauser bullet
will pass through the lungs, and the pa
tlent will recover. It does not crush
bones SO that amputations are neces-
sa1y. A wound made by such bullet,
If it does not affect a vital part, heals
as readily as would slight cut.
"When the medical history Of this
war is written" said Colonel Smart,

suits ever achieved i'll antiseptic treat
